TRIED TO PLACE
DEFEAT ON HALLAM
Schemes of Republican Mi
nority in Late Corporation
Attorney Contest.


While rumors were rife of trouble IN
the Republican camp during the pen
dency Of the corporation attorney
struggle, 1T has only come to light now
how near the affair came to breaking
out in open revolt.
Oscar Hallam, a young Republican
attorney and prominent in local Re-
publican circles, was the disturbing
factor, and his principal hacker was
Aid. Elder, of the Eleventh ward. Elder,
it is said, insisted on Hallam's candi-
dacy, and so strongly that at one stage
of the game it looked as If the cam
paign instituted to save Corporation
Attorney Markham would go to pieces.
So incensed We're the other members
of the Republican minority at the in
reference of Hallam- Elder combina-
ton that at a conference held just pre-
vious to the election Monday evening,
the decision was all but reached to
cast the entire vote of the six Repub-
licans for Hallam and thus place at
his door the odfum of defeat.
Well make him the fall guy" was
the suggestion of one of the members,
but other counseIs prevailed and the
vote was given to Mr.. Markham in
stead The feeling against Hallam and
Elder in the Republican camp is still
warm and an open clash is promised
at no distant date.

STATE FINISHES IN
WEINHOLZER CASE
Witnesses Describe Drunken Orgies in
The Empire Theater.

Witnesses for the state yesterday
adduced much damaging testimony in
the case of The State against Anton
WefnholZer, proprietor of the Empire
theater, who is on trial in the criminal
division of the district court, charged
with keeping a disorderly house.
Several of the witnesses called by
the state yesterday were women who
admitted that they had been in the
habit of frequenting the resort They
and other disorderly occurrences in
mon to see drunken women there. One
witness testified that upon one occa-
sion she had seen a drunken woman
fall from her chair to the floor, and,
after she had been picked up by sew
eral men, she had been treated to
more beer.
May Jensen, who was called to the
stand because she was in the habit of
visiting the place, admitted that she
had been reprimanded by Weinholzer
because she refused, at one time, to
take a drink when stranger offered
to buy it for her. She was told that if
she could not take the drinks when
they were offered her she had better
stay away. She squared matters, she
said, by telling Weinholzer that when
she did take a drink that she took an
expensive one.
The state finished with its case dur
ing the afternoon. and the examina-
ton of witnesses for the defense was
commenced. 1t Is believed the case
will go to the jury this afternoon

PEOPLE WOULD
HAVE JOHNSON
REMOVED
Public Examiner, However,
Declares That He Is Not
Worried Over Petition
They Will Present to the
Governor, and Says He Will
Face Charges.

Residents of Polk and adjoining
counties want Public Examiner John
son removed from office, and are pre-
pairing to appeal to Gov. Van SAINT to
have it done. The following special
from Crookston shows the pulse of the
people there:
CROOKSTON, Mimi, Feb. 24.-Nu-
merOuS petitions are in circulation in
Polk and adjoining counties praying
Gov. Van SAINT to remove Public Ex-
aminer Johnson. The petitions re-
cite that the examiner does not pos
sess qualifications necessary for his
position. In his official capacity the
petition charges him with being over
bearing, arrogant and boaStful, and
also with circulating reports calcu-
lated to injure the character of re-
spectacle public officers and private
citizens.
In Short" the petition closes, his
official acts have been usually charac-
terized by a spirit of indiscretion and
unfairness that has made him gener-
ally obnoxious, and, in the opinion of
your petitioners, should constitute
grounds for his dismissal"
The petitions are being quite gem
orally signed, especially in Polk coun-
ty,
Result of Ralph Trouble.
'Pts all about that Ralph drainage
trouble," said Mr.. Johnson, last night,
when shown the special, but it is not
worrying me. + am subject to i'm
parchment, and the people have the
law in their hands, so why don't they
get busy and prefer charges. / am
willing to face them. The whole trou-
BILE is that I investigated the transac-
tons of George w. Ralph, a member
of the drainage board at Crookston,
and placed the result of my investiga-
lions in the hands OF the attorney gen.
era1 and the attorney of Polk county.
II did my sworn duty, and do not
care how many petitions they circu-
late. Ralph, in his capacity of COM
missioner, employs a lot of men and
laborers, and 1t is largely their names,
so 1 am told, that are signed to the
petitions. Why don't they petition for
the removal of the attorney general?
He has been as active as myself in this
matter. It's a thing l do not like to
be quoted on, but if you do say any
thing, simply tell them that 1 am not
losing any sleep over their petitions"

MASSIVE CURTAIN
HUNG IN THEATER
New Painting by Peter
Claussen to Be Exhibited
Sunday Evening.

Theater-g oers who are In their seats
before the orchestra begins the over
ture Saturday night at the Metropoli-
tan Will see the new drop curtain that
has just been painted by Peter Claus
sen. 1t weighs two TONS The curtain
is on heavy asbestos and Mr.. Claus
sen has painted on it a scene on the
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul rail-
road, showing the bridge where the
Pioneer Limited" crosses the river
near the government dam. A passen-
ger train is crossing the bridge and
the painter has been remarkably sue
cessful in catching the effect Of mo-
ton. The painting is a picture within
picture, for above the scene has been
painted heavy gold frame, partly
concealed by rich draperfes.
The hanging Of a curtain in a thea
ter the size of the Metropolitan is
not an easy task. From 9 o'clock yes
terday morning until late last night a
small army of men We're at work get
ting the curtain in place. The big
sheet of asbestos had been stretched
on frame at one side Of the stage
While Mr.. C1aussen was painting the
scene. AS soon as the painting was
finished the curtain was taken down
and carefully spread on the stage. Great
care had to be used in doing this, for
the smallest crease in the asbestos
meant crack in the painting. To get
the curtain up three weight bags, each
containing one hundred pounds of lead,
were fastened to ropes that were in
turn fastened to the curtain
The height of the proscenium arch
of the Metropolitan stage is thirty
feet, so the mere raising of the cur
tain was difficult and Iaborious feat
The men had to work in the flies"
which are fimsy galleries up very near
the roof of the theater, and on the
gridiron, lattice of steel Stats that
stretches across the stage and is prac-
t1cally the roof itself. Even when
the curtain was once up the task was
not completed. The three bags which
enabled the mon to put 1t In place
could not be used to draw the curtain
up and down. Such an arrangement
would be primitive and clumsy
Big theater curtains are raised and
lowered by exactly the same process
that dirt is excavated from sewers A
big windlass, which is operated by two
men every night at the theater, draws
the curtain up or let's it down. At
tached to this windlass is a lead weight
that Hghtens considerably the labors
of the men, but which by no means
does away with their efforts. It is Gus
tomary to speak of curtains rolling"
up. AS matter of fact, curtains are
drawn up. They do not roll up. The
Metropolitan proscenium arch is thirty
feet high. Beyond that arch is
space higher yet, where the curtains
hang when they are not required.

ATTORNEY SETTLES
WITH FORMER CLIENT
J. c. Jensen Pays $133.35 to Mrs. Nc
NeIIis in Probate Court.

Attorney J. c. Jensen, a major on
the staff of Gov. Van SAINT, was yes
terday roundly scored by Probate
Judge Bazille, after which the attor-
ney was ordered to pay over to Mrs.
John McNellis the sum of $133.35,
which amount Mrs. McNellis had
charged him with retaining against
her wishes and demands
Jensen was first employed by Mrs.
MeNellis to probate the will of the
late John McNellis, but subsequently
Mrs. McNellis secured other ATTORNEYS.
and demanded an accounting from
Jensen.
She alleged he had converted notes
into money and that he held notes and
papers belonging to the estate valued
at several hundred dollars. Because
he had refused to account for these
papers he was in the probate court
yesterday upon an order made by
Judge BaZille. The matter was finally
adjusted by Jensen agreeing to pay
the sum of $685.
In addressing Attorney Jensen, Judge
Bazille said: Il do not believe any at
torney who would do as you are al
legged to have done should be allowed
to practice in this court, and 1 there
fore feel like probing this matter to
the bottom"
