FIGHTING FOR AMES|CLEAN OUT MAIN ST.
Arguments for New Trial Are
Taken Up Before Judge
Elliott.
Each of the Former Mayors Three
Attorneys Will Argue at
Length.

Former Mayor A. A. Ames. convicted Of
bribery and sentenced to six years in the
state penitentiary, is again in court.
Frank Nye. Harry S. Mead and Henry
Deutch are endeavoring to convince Judge
Elliott that she should grant their client a
new trial.
Mr.. Nye said that the defense had de-
termined that the motion for a new trial
should be gone into eXhaustively, and
even at the risk of boring the court, the
cause would be argued by each of the
three attorneys. Mr.. Boardman will pre-
sent the states case and the argument
will probably last two days.
The motion is based upon all Of the
statutory grounds and, in addition, upon
various alleged errors.
Mr. Nye began by stating that he would
argue the questions of law brought ur
previously in the demurrer to the indict-
ment. The points raised were:
First: That the Indictment does not con-
form to the statutory provisions.
Second-That the Indictment charges
more than one offense.
Third-That the indictment does MOI
state facts sufficient to constitute public
offense.
Mr.. Mead will dwell particularly upon
the alleged unconstitutionality of the in
dictment as 1t was argued in the motion
| to quash presented before the trial. Mr.
bSuCCn Will answer lIe SuIIiSHtS ou'
vanced by the county attorney.
| Affidavits have been served upon thu
| state by the defense in which allega ton
are made tending to show a conspirac!
between Irwin Gardner, Thomas Brown
Jr., and Captain Fitchette whereby thei
| troubles were to be mitigated and the,
were to be freed from prosecution b.
placing all the blame Of the graft sys
tenn upon DR.. Anes, who was sick a
| West Baden and expected never to b
| wei lenough to return. -. ~
The affiants are J. G.. Williams, job
G. Steritt, Grant Thompson, DR.. Jane
H. Roy of Renver, w. B. and V. P. Rob
erts. Affidavits are made by the de
PENDANT and his attorneys to the effec
that the evidence given by these men wa
not produced at the trial because the me
| could not be found.
! The principal point in all of the aft
davits is that a conversation between tn
three alleged conspirators was held i
Coffee Johns restaurant, during whic
the deal was fixed up. DR.. Roy swear
that he overheard Gardner say: II hat

The Minneapolis Savings and Loan as
ISOLATION, located in the Guaranty Loan
building, has just declared it's regular
semi-annual dividend Of 5 per cent per
annum. This association has never paid
less than 5 per cent dividends during the
last eighteen years. It has loaned in Hen
nepin county nearly $2,000,000, and over
800 new dwellings have been built in this
city with money borrowed from it. The
panic of 1893 and subsequent years had lit
tie effect upon it, as it never failed to pay
it's regular semi annual dividend, and al
tho it has been loaning money on real
estate in this city for eighteen years. it
has no real estate on hand
It's new method Of loaning money and
paying off mortgages is SO simple, and the
interest, which is at the current rate pre-
vailing on gilt-edged security, is SO rea-
sonable, and the whole plan SO equitable
that 1t commends itself at once to those
who stop to investigate. Any part or all
of the loan can be paid at any time without
notice and interest stopped upon 500 pay
ments at the time Of such payments. All
weekly or monthly payments of less than
500 are deducted from the loan on Janu
airy and July of each year, and the next
six months interest is charged only on
the balance of the loan remaining unpaid.
The only requirements as to payment Of
loan Is that there shall be paid at least 81
every four weeks on each 500 Of loan,
and the balance OF payments and time Of
making them Is left entirely to the Dor
rover. There Is no commission charged
for making the loans, and interest COM
mences only when the money is actually
paid out on the order Of the borrower.
| This new plan of paying off mortgages
has become so popular that the association
cannot supply the demand for loans to
build houses, notwithstanding the in
creased deposits during the past six
months. ..s.
The association receives money from
those who wish to deposit their savings In
large or small amounts, and the depositors
are secured by mortgages on homesteads
in Minneapolis. Each depositor has an
| interest in and is secured by 700 mort
cages which have an actual value Of over
100000 on homes in the city, and these
homes have a present cash value Of more
than 81, 900, 900. @.

Whenever the people in the vicinity of

that they want Main street cleared of it's

Savage's plans except what have seen
in the papers, but I am sure that this
administration will gladly cooperate with
him IN any plan to make the vicinity OF
the exposition attractive and respectable.
"Of course these resorts have no legal
standing whatever and they can all be
cleaned out in twenty-fou hours or even
sooner If the people demand it. Personal
