COHEN CASE SHIFT
Trial Is Transferred to Judge Ponds
Court Room by Order Of Judge
Harrison.
The Work Of Securing a Jury Prom
Uses to Be slow-Men Have
Opinions.

d
Joseph Cohen, an alleged pawn in the
recent game of graft played between the
A1nes regime and the Minneapolis public,
is for a second time on trial. The charge
is that Of compromising a crime and the
indictment alleges that the defendent &C
cepted SIS from one Marie Meyers, pro-
prietor of a disorderly house. in return for
which police protection was to be given
the woman.
When court convened this morning
Judge Harrison announced, to the surprise
Of many of the interested parties, that the
defendant had intimated that he would
prefer to be tried before some other judge,
and this intimation, he said. was entitled
to some consideration. Whereupon he in
formed those present that Judge Pond
would take UP the case. The scene was
thereby shifted to the second floor of the
courthouse.
1t was nearly II o'clock when the court,
the attorneys and the prospective jurors
We're ready. Not one man satisfactory to
both sides had been chosen for the jury
up to II O'Clock. Six were examined and
and not a man without an opinion could
be discovered in the half dozen, although
in one instance the state had to utilize a
peremptory challenge. The three attor-
neys acting triers in the selection Of a
jury are: E. j. Davenport, w. r. Morris,
George w. Meyer. -

Legislature May Be Asked to Au.
thorize $4,000 Bond Issue
for Water Works.
Extension Of System Is Necessary to
Encourage Building in the Out
lying Districts.

The legislature may be asked to author
ize the issue of bonds in the sum of $780,
900 for the benefit Of the waterwOrks de-
partment The request that such bonds
be issued would probably have been made
before this but for the fact that measures
seeking the issuance Of 100000 of perma-
nent improvement bonds and 100000 Of
school bonds have been pending. The
legislature having passed favorably upon
the other bond issues. Alderman SchOon-
maker. chairman of the waterworks COM
mittee, believes the time is now oppor-
tune to give that department a much
needed financial lift.
For the first ime in it's history the de-
partment faces deficit, as a result Of the
heavy expenditures .necessitated this year
by the completion of the new Northeast
pumping station.
In face of this situation, crying de-
mand exists for more water: mains
throughout the city, but more particularly
in the rapidly developing outlying dis
tricts. AS thy waterworls department
usually yields a handsome profit each
year. and can speedily pay back from its
earnings any amount advanced at this
time. the members of the committee see
no objections to issuing the bonds at this
time, -
1T is a fact" said Alderman Schoon-
maker s'that our inability, owing to the
heavy extra expense to which we, have
been subjected In the last year, to lay
water mains where their need is most felt,
has heavily retarded the growth Of GER
tain sections. The fact that we are
backward about installing such improve
ments is even now stopping the rapid and
natural expansionHof certain residence dis
trlcts For myself L can speak authorita-
lively of the thirteenth ward - Scores of
houses would be erected in that section
but for the fact that prospective builders
can get no definite assurance Of water
connections. One can scarcely estimate
the big sum of money now tied up and
awaiting investment because we cannot
extend our waterworks system so as to
keep pace with our growth
1t is not believed that the legislatur
will oppose the issue Of waterworks bonds
because 100000 Of bonds for municipal
betterments have just been authorized.

BIG FUND FOR ROADS
An Imposing Plan Proposed by a
Legislative Bill Now Being
Drawn.
Expense to Be Borne Equally by
County, State and Federal
Government.

Good roads'advocates the state over are
interested in a bill now being framed by
the roads and bridge committees of the
Minnesota house and senate. AS it is
taking shape, this measure will present In
new and attractive form the question OF
a state highway commission, and sys-
tematic campaign Of road building
throughout the state.
The bill will provides for state high
way commission, composed either OF
three state officers, or Of three persons APP
pointed by the governor. 1t will also pro-
vide for state levy of one-twentieth OF
a mill for road and bridge purposes. This
would realize some $4,000 a year to add
to the internal improvement fund. The
fund now comes to about $4,000 a year,
most of which comes from the govern
ment which gives the state five per cent
of the proceeds of all land sales within the
state.
This commission is to employ Compel
ent civil engineer to supervise the works,
but he will only be final expert author
ity. The movement for roads must orig
mate with each locality. The cost of each
piece of state road is to be divided in
three parts, one paid by the town, one by
the county, and one by the state. The
town authorities must act first, and If
they decide to build a piece Of improved
road they will have it plated by the
county surveyor, and present the case to
the county commissioners. If they APP
prove it and vote to pay the county s
share, the plan comes before the state
highway commission, and the engineer OF
the state decides whether the road shall
be built, and how it shall be done.
The road once built and approved, the
state will pay it's share out of the in
ternal improvement fund. If this fund
realizes $55, 900 a year, it will mean an ex-
penditure on scientific road making of
tire times that amount or $165,000 a year.
Roads will cost not to exceed $1,000 a mile
or an average, which means that at least
165 miles of indestructible road will be
added each year.
The most active friend Of this meas sure
is Representative Ole Peterson of Brigh-
ton, Nicollet county, who had the first
draft made. It will probably be itnro-
duced as a committee bill.

NOT ALWAYS so
There Are Numerous Exceptions to Max
Nordau's Contention as to

mere are Numerous Exceptions to Max
Nordau's Contention as to
Authors.
London Graphic
In the Fortnightly Review M Max
Nordau maintains the surprising thesis
That success in creative literature can
only be won by men who have no COM
petlng employments to divide their inter
ests and impede the concentration of their
brains. It is beyond doubt the dream
OF every man of letters to be able thus to
lnsulate the electricity of his genius; but
1t IS strange that M. Nordau should have
overlooked the long list of those who
have had other things besides literature
to attend to and yet have produced work
that lives. SHAKESPEARE, the actor-mana-
ger; Milton, the lord protectors Latin sec
rotary; Charles Lamb, the India office
clerk, are only a few Of the cases that he
might have recalled. He should also have
thought of Dickens, who was a reporter
when his first imaginative work was writ
ten; Thackeray, who divided his time be-
tween fiction and work for the comic
papers, and Charles Kingsley who wrote
Westward Ho!' while a country parson
and M. lola, who was Hachette's clerk
when he wrote the "Contes Ninon''
The quantity Of the work may have suf-
fered in some of these cases from the
but it is hard, to believe that the quality
has suffered too. The rule, in short, if
rule it be, is swamped by rather more
exceptions than even the rules about the
genders in French grammars. :

ENJOY "A HALF HOLIDAY /
Most. Of the City Employees Rested
This Afternoon.

While yesterday was Washington's
birthday, Mayor J. C: Haynes made up
his mind at noon to-day that Minneapolis
ought officially to honor the memory Of
the father of his country by shutting up
shop. Orderly Archie Johnstone was ac-
cordingly dispatched to the different city
offices with an impromptu proclamation,
calling on the heads, of departments to
close up for this afternoon. The message
was thus communicated" TO several city
officials, but there sWafes others who had
no intimationr that 5tRere was nothing ;
doing for the remainder Of the day, and
ii was some time later that they learned
that they were not supposed to- work.
The city clerk was unable to, close be-
cause three council committees We're
scheduled to meet this. afternoon, and they
cannot do business unless the city clerk
or assistant keeps their minutes.
It was given out at the mayors Office
Saturday that city offices would not be
closed to- day -

HIGHEST In TEN YEARS
St. Anthony Falls Bank Pays $500
Foot for Land on Central
Avenue.

The purchase Of the site of it's present
building by the ST. Anthony Fails bank
from the Chute Brothers company last
Friday, is the first step toward increasing
the size of the banking rooms. The en-
largement of the banks deposit list and
the attendant increase in business has
compelled it to seek more room. AS soon
as present leases Of part Of the building
expire it is proposed to extend the bank
ing rooms back the entire length Of the
building.
The sale of the corner at $500 front
foot is significant in that it is the highest
price paid on Central avenue for ten
years. A decade ago the land was held
at $500 a foot. Only recently the property
next to that of the bank sold at 500 a
front foot.
This price is not regarded as a top
notcher by East Side real estate men. AS
compared with values on the west side it
is considered low.

SHUT OFF ON CARS
Milwaukee Road Won't Allow Their
Use for Transferring Wheat
to the Mills.
Hits Both Mill and Elevator Com
panies-Great Northern Makes
Limitations.

The Milwaukee road has notified Min
neapolis millers that until further notice
no Milwaukee cars may be used for trans
porting wheat from elevators to the mills.
This makes a new kind of trouble for the
millers, but it hits the elevators harder.
At present the millers can get enough
wheat in the daily receipts to keep the
mills going, and such purchases are
switched direct to mills for unloading.
But where a miller requires more of a
certain grade than the receipts afford, he
has to fall back upon the elevators, and
the elevator man finding an opportunity to
make a profitable sale, is not sure of
his position and dare not commit himself
as to delivery.
Cars Can Earn More.
A car that would be earning only
switching and demurrage charges, can be
more profitably employed for a long haul
and shippers are clamoring for cars all
along the line. So that shippers here
hardly blame the railroads, much as they
regret the necessity for the orders.
The Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific have not yet shut off, and these
roads are willing to permit the use of
their cars in transfer shipments with GER
tain limitations. But the supply of such
cars is limited, the Great Northern cars
can not be used unless the wheat is to
come out Of an elevator on Great Northern
tracks, and IN. short no man IN the local
grain trade any longer knows where he
will be from day to day in the matter of
shipping facilities.
One of the Pillsbury- Washburn men
said this morning that if his company
could get hold Of 500 cars it could use
them all and would guarantee to load
them out with flour or millstuffs very
promptly.
At the Chamber of Commerce it is pre-
dicted that unless the situation improves,
Minneapolis people will yet see the old
fashioned buck-wagons, that were used
for hauling grain and were a fixture in the
grain trade years ago, passing through
the streets Of the city. This would be
a step backward twenty five years, but it
may come to this finally.
A Grain Pipe Line.
One genius on change a. has a plan
figured out for the transferring of grain
from the elevators to the mills by means
Of conduits or pipe lines. This he says is
bound to come about anyway in the course
of time; the present method is crude and
expensive at the best and the time will
come when wheat will be carried from
the elevators to the mills much as crude
oil is piped in the Oil regions.

bill is passed, for the books cannot be

Attorneys who know the history Of this

the renewal When he took hold the
publication was 500 cases behind, covering
eighteen months. Volume 81, now in the

has SO increased since the contract was
taken in 1897 that there is little in pub
fishing the books at $3.50. The lower
price is made because Mr.. Dufresne is

JUSTICE TO DUFRESNE
The Attempt to Freeze Him Out as
Publisher Of the Supreme Court
Reports.

George P. Dufresne, of st. Paul is the
present holder Of the contract for publish
ing the decisions Of the suprem court. He
has published the last nineteen volumes,
covering six years, in a. manner entirely
satisfactory to the bar Of 1.-The state, at a
price Of $1.5e' a. volume. He now. asks
the state to renew the contract for an
other six years, at a reduced PRICE Of s1.25.
The tKeefe-Davfdson company Of st. Paul,
law book publishers, have gone in at
tempting to freeze OUT Dufresne, and
after their first proposition of s1.25, Of
fered to publish the reports at $1.10 The
senate stood by Dufresne and passed the
bill giving him the contract, with only one
dissenting vote. The house committee,
however, substituted q bill authorizing the
