SUBJECT OF 3D., REX.
Daniel Campbell swore He Was
Naturalized and Filed on =
q Claim. -
The Court Sets Naturalization Aside
T.. and He May Lose the
Property. .>... e

BY an order of Judge c. B. Elliott.
Daniel Campbell is deprived of the rights
Of citizenship in the United States. The
order vacating a former order Of the same
court granting naturalization papers was
made upon showing of the United States
authorities that the papers were obtained
by perjury and fraud on the part of Camp
bell.
The proceedings were started by Charles
Keith, whose affidavit is largely RESPONSE
BILE for the present action. 1t appears,
although the fact was not brought out in
the hearing before Judge Elliott, that
Campbell recently filed upon some valuable
property in Itasca county. This property
is believed to be subject to some claim
by other interested parties, who ques-
toned Campbells citizenship. The or
der filed by Judge Elliott has the effect of
cancelling any claim he may have had on
the homestead. -. ..e...
It was shown at the hearing that Camp
bell, upon making application for his pa
pers, sWOre that he came to this country
from Canada in 1S4S and before he had
reached his majority. 1t was proved that
in reality he came here in 1856, after he
was q years old. This and other false
statements. are charged and on the
strength of them his citizenship is an.
nulled. t.... ,- 49,.

ECHOES FOOLED EN-
Andrew Hogan Yelled for Help, but
Officers Could Not Find
Him.
For Hours He Tramped Yelling
Around the Courthouse
Interior Court.

For over four hours last night Andrew
Hogan called for help and although several
officers We're within hundred feet Of
him and answered his calls, they could not
find him. At last he fell through win
dow into the ash pit Of the courthouse
and was taken in charge by the officers
and locked up on a charge of drunkenness.
/ Hogan became intoxicated last night and
about midnight wandered to the court
house. He entered the Fourth street en-
trance to the building and made his way
to the circular enclosure in the court of
the building. He then tried to get out of
the place but could not do SO. Round and
round the place he wandered but could
find no means of egress. He then shouted
for help and his cries soon attracted the
attention of the officers at police head
quarters, and they started to search for
him. --aa.%
The echoes Of the place where Hogan
was confined were SO confusing that it
was impossible for the officers to deter
mine just where the man was. They
shouted to him continually and when he
answered the echoes confused them sc
that they could not tell where the sound
came from. They searched the building
from basement to roof and could not To-
cate him until he fell into the ash pit
with thud that led them to Kim at once
Hogan appeared In police court this
| morning and pleaded guilty to being
drunk. He was fined SO.

.AMES HAS GIVEN UP
He Announces That He Will Return
Voluntarily With Sheriff
Dreger.
E Start From New Hampshire
Will Probably Be Made
Tomorrow.

DR.. Albert Alonzo Ames has surrendered.
After having set all sorts of legal machin-
cry In operation to prevent his extrad1-
ton, the much advertised Minneapolitan
suddenly. changed his mind. His colors
were lowered to Sheriff J. w. Dreger Of
Hennepin county and in charge of that
officer DR.. Anes will start for Minneapolis
tomorrow, for according to the latest
information his decision to return Is fixed.
Sheriff Dreger wired his office here TO
that effect this morning, and Mrs. Ames
has returned to Hancock for the purpose
of collecting the family belongings pre-
paratory to starting westward tomorrow
The latest move in the Anes game was
decided upon yesterday afternoon by the
doctor himself. Against the advice of his
physicians, without the knowledge If his
attorney and after the $4,000 bond re-
quired by the New Hampshire court pend
ing an appeal, was said to be in sight,
DR.. Ames is said to have suddenly made
up his mind to return and face his &C
cusers. y -
There are many people who assert that
sary bond in New Hampshire, is merely
fairy tale. They believe that it was
simply case of going to jail pending the
settlement Of his appeal from Judge
Pixies decision and that rather than do
so the former mayor Of Minneapolis de-
clded to take the bull by the horns and
make what is described as 1.-The best grand
stand play of his life
Whatever may be the cause or the mo-
tive OF this sudden decision, the fact re-
mains that Minneapolis will soon have
within her limits her former mayor, A. A.
Ames one of the most-talked-of men in
the country. to-day. The doctors desires
in this matter are set forth briefly in

NEEDS ARE GROWING
So Reports A. Berne Just From the
Famine District in
Sweden.
He Says the Swedes Are Deeply
Grateful for American
Relief.

A Berne, agent Of the Allan line, re-
turned yesterday from Sweden. where he
has spent the winter looking after immi-
grafton business. He has spent con-
siderable time in the famine districts of
Sweden and his statements in regard to
conditions are interesting. He found no
distress, because the distribution of relief
has been very well managed and in the
early stage of the famine the contri-
buttons from the southern portions Of
Sweden tided the people over. So far as he
observed, actual want had not touched
whole communities, for the people are
thrifty and manyof them who had some
thing laid by have been able partially to
provide for themselves. Gradually, how
ever, the means of the poorer people are
being exhausted and the need of the next
few months will be greater than during
the past months, for now provision must
be made for seed sowing. 49,
All through Sweden the qualification of
the people for the generous aid Of their
neighbors and of the United States is
feelngly expressed, especially to an
American. The great liberality has sur
prised those who already held Americans
in high esteem, as big hearted people,
The government has decided that the
most effectual way of having relief sup
plies distributed is through the govern
ment officials. This is an economical
method and insures careful reports on the
disposition of funds placed at the disposal
of the officials.
Although he did not visit Finland, Mr.
Barne heard reports Of conditions there
and of the heavy emigration resulting

crossing the Swedish frontier, and by the

: -. Contributions to Date.
The state famine fund has now reached
nearly 100000, the additions to-day being
the smallest for some time, and they were
nearly a thousand dollars. Several large
county funds are yet to hear from Off

Minneapolis committees, including the

work.

100000 IS FOUND
Transfer From Revolving Fund to
Sinking Fund That Is Ap-
parently Illegal.
F. N. Stacy Discovers It-His View
Understood to Be Supported
T. .= by CITY ATTORNEY. 4

In preliminary report of his investga-
tions of the revolving fund shortage,
Frank N. Stacy will inform the city coun-
Gil this evening that 100000 legally due
the revolving fund has been wrongfuly
credited to the sinking fund. Mr.. Stacy
has made the important discovery that
an erroneous construction has been put
upon a charter provision. giving the
sinking fund commissioners power 10
transfer SURPRISES of the revolving fund
not needed for improvements to the sink
ing fund. On that supposition, the sink
ing fund commissioners in 1898 transferred
100000 to the sinking fund
Mr.. Stacy makes the point that the
charter simply empowers the commission
ers to make the investment for the pur-
pose of preserving and caring for the
revolving fund.- but does it empower them
to divert that fund to the sinking or any
other fund. There is an express provis-
ion that none of the proceeds from the
sale of bonds shall be diverted to any 9TH
er purpose except for the construction of
sewers and for paving. curling. cutters
or other public improvements. The men
who framed the charter, made every effort
to provide that the revolving fund should
be self supporting, always intact.
Mr.. Stacy holds that the 100000 in
vested for the fund by the sinking fund
commissioners is a permanent asset of the
revolving fund.
The city attorney is understood to agree
with Mr.. Stacy. Mayor J. c.. Haynes
takes the same view. City Controller
Joshua Rogers insists that the transfer
was legal.
Council Expected to Act.
| The council will probably take imme-
date steps to place the 100000 where il
belongs.
Mr.. Stacy says that C. A. Nimocks
who checked the revolving fund for the
Commercial club. is mistaken in the con:
tention that 100000 interest on deferred
payments had been transferred to the
sinking fund from the revolving fund
The charter provides that such transfers
shall be made
