WHO IS DIR. G. 4. HOFFMAN?
Des Moines Sensation Has an Inter.
esting Local End-Man With
Mysterious Past.

.y2 Il q
Further complications were added this
morning by local inquiry to the unusual
situ bon in which DR.. Charles Henry
Hoffman Of Des Moines now finds him
self. DR.. Hoffman resigned yesterday
Des Moines and left the city. s
For two years he had been professor of
histology and pathology there. He was
about to be dismissed by Dean Hilary
M. Bell on the ground that he was an
imposter unable to- show genuine diplo-
mas emitting him to. practice medicine
or hold his professorship.
Yet, as Dean Bell acknowledged freely,
DR.. Hoffman was scientist of remarkable
ability. His instruction had been con-
sidered by students superior to that af-
forded at Columbia, university.
On entering the Drake faculty DR.. Hoff-
man declared that he had been educated at
Mannheim, Heidelberg, and Munich, Ger
many; that he conducted a. private labora-
tory at st. Paul in 1890, and again from
1893 to 1896; that he was an instructor in
the medical department Of Hamline uni
versity in 1891 and 1892; and was patholo-
gist Of the state hospital at st. Peter from
1896 to 1899.
It has been found that he was an in
| mate of the Mount Pleasant, Iowa, insane
asylum in 1898, and julius Block, state
| treasurer, said at ST. Paul to-day that, al
| the time he was sheriff of NicOllet county
man of DR.. Hoffman's name was a pa.
tient at the St. Peter hospital. The Ham
| line authorities declare that Hoffman wa
never member of their faculty.

HITS THE DIRECTORS
Judge G. B. Elliott Gives Receiver
Of the Tontine Savings Associa-
ton Big Judgment.
Holds That $161 ,309.54 Was Wrong.
fully Diverted by Directors from
Redemption Fund.

Judge G. 8. Elliott this morning filed
a decision giving George p. Flannery, re-
ceiver for the Tontine Savings association,
judgment against the directors of the as
ISOLATION for $161, 309.54. That amount,
it is declared, has been fraudulently di-
verified to their own use by the directors.
The case grows out of the Tontine Saw
ings association scandal which was aired
before Judge Elliott some time ago. George
Flannery, as receiver for the defl1nct COM
pany, is the plaintiff, and Sanford w. De-
wore, Edward D. Ziesel, Norman A.
Sprong, r. A. Sweet, Henry Meyer, Ches-
ter p. Grow and Eugene o. Edison, as di-
rectors, were named as defendants.
The ,Tontine Savings association was,
about a year ago, declared to be operat-
ing fraudulently, It's charter was revoked
and Mr.. Flannery appointed receiver.
Upon looking into its affairs, Mr.. Flannery
found facts leading him to bring suit to
recover the amount mentioned, which it
from the redemption fund to an expense
fund for the private benefit of the officers
and directors, who held practically all the
capital stock
Judge Elliott finds that the contention
of plaintiff is true; that said money was
wrongfully diverted and that the plain
tiff, as receiver of the Tontine Savings
association, is entitled to have and re-
cover from the defendants, Sanford w
Devore, Norman A. Sprong and Edward
ID. Ziesel, and each of them, $161, 309. 54
and from the defendant Henry w. Meyer
the sum of $135, 900, and from the defend
ant Eugene o. Edison, the sum of 100000
The defendants r. A.. Sweet and sChes
/ ter r, Grove are residents of Min
nesota and the summons was not seryes
upon them. g.s' /

Austin, Mimi, Feb. IA spirited de-
bate last night between the high schools

side of the question, Resolved, that
United States senators should be chosen
by popular VOTE,
Floyd Bell, Fanny White and Sydney
He'll spoke for .Owatonna, and Gertrude
Kline, Roy Adams and Miles Kirkett for
Austin. The judges were G. M. Sinnett
and J.. e. Mcconnell of Mortified, and
j. G.. Marshall Of st. Charles.
The Owatonna speakers were accom-
panied to Austin by good sized dele
cation Of schoolmates and townsmen and
did not lack for support and cheers from
those who were personally interested in
their success. Both sides were enthu-
siastic and presented strong arguments,
but Austin seemed. to. have a shade the
best of it throughout. The decision of
the judges was followed by a long round
of applause, over which could be heard
| the class yells Of the high school students.
| Many courtesies were extended the Wis

Of feeling all around. All the young

Fergus Falls had been in three con-

unanimously, while Perham, through de-
faults of those who should have con-
tested with it, came in to the contest with
less experience. In this contest Perham
had the choice Of location or of sides,
and, preferring to debate at home, al
lowed Fergus Falls to have the choice of
sides. Although Fergus in it's debate
with. Crookston took the negative, and
showed that it would not be best to elect
senators by a direct vote of the people,
in the debate with Perham it took the
affirmative and clearly demonstrated to
the judges by a. preponderance of argu-
ment that senators ought to be elected
by a direct vote.iii fsnra" 4 45,lt
The Fergus # Falls il team was much
stronger than the zPerham team and this
was the more apparent when It came to
rebuttal,', Having debated both sides and
being able to think on their feet, the
Fergus Falls speakers were thoroughly al
