MAGISTRATE HITS AT POLICE.
Cornell Says They Don't Get Evidence
Enough to Hold Ilabitual Criminals.

Magistrate Cornell, in the Yorkville court,
hit back Yesterday at Inspectors McClusky
and Schmittberger, who, when asked on
Wednesday why the Monk Eastman and
other bands Of East Side thugs were not
broken up by the police, declared their
hands were practically tied because the
Magistrates invariably discharge prisoners
arrested as hatitual criminals.
Detective Sergeants Mcdonald, Connolly
and Benoi brought TO court five men whom
tLey said they had arrested while trying
to pick pockets in the crowd around the
collapsed tenement at Rutgers and Mad
ison streets. Before arraigning the pris-
oners, the detectives stepped to the bridge
and corfidentially asked the Magistrate
if he would punish the men.
Most certainly, will" declared Magis-
trate Cornell, vigorously, provided you
policemen will make a complaint strong
enough to give me the opportunity And
I want to say right here that have seen
the recent statements attributed to In
spectors McChsky and SchmittberEer.
"Nothng could be more untrue or more

as do, that in order to holo prisoners, under
the habitllal criminal act It Is absolutely
necessary to take them n the commission
Of some crime; The magistrates often
have no choice but TO discharge the pris-
oners because the complaints are weak
or because the policemen themselves frankly
adrlit they have no case.

DOGS In BRISK DEMAND
Anything on Four Legs That Can
Bark Assured Of a
Home.

That dogs are not a drug upon the
market is shown by the April report of
Miss Vera e. Bean. secretary Of the Min,
neapolis Humane Society. In that month
the society has found good homes, for
fourteen homeless dogs while applica-
lions were received for $50 more. Most
of the homes found for dogs were iii the
country and four. of them went to farm
ers residing in the Saskatchewan valley
in Canada
About April i, the secretary of the So
.ciety announced in a brief item in IT h e
Journ a l that the society wanted to
find homes for a dozen homeless dogs but
that the officers were unable to find suit
able places for them. The next day ap-
and the surrounding country. The Off
GERS preferred to send the dogs to the
country rather than leave them in the
city and applications from afar were
given first attention. Several dogs were
shipped to farmers in Minnesota, South
Dakota and North Dakota while the four
were sent to Canada.
The report shows that in April. 11S chill
dren were cared for by the society OF
these, four were taken from immoral sur
roundings, three placed with the Chill
dren's Home society; one in the Catholic
orphanage; four IN Washburn Home.
Twelve young girls received the attention
of the society. two of whom were taken
from immoral surroundings and one
placed in the Florence Crittenton Home
Twelve cases of non support were re-
ported, two arrests made and two con-
yictions secured.

Results Of Their Ballot Will Not
Be Known Till Sun
day.
Decision on a Strike Will Be Made
After Mondays Con-
ference.

Messrs. Garretson and Newman Of the
trainmen's organizations have instructed
all the committeeman, now on the road
taking the vote of the Great Northern
men, to report Sunday morning at the
Windsor hotel, st. Paul. The vote is
mitteemen will begin their journey in,
and those along the line will time their
departure to reach the city at approxi-
mately the same time. 1t appears that
the vote is at least 30 per cent in favor
OF authorizing a strike
. According to tEE committeeman, the
sentiment which prevails along the line
Is that the tratnmen and conductors on
the Great Northern are entitled to at least
the same concessions as were granted
by the management Of the Northern Pa
cific.
If the vote Is found, as the committee
men expect, to be- overwhelmingly favor
ing a strike, tie matter of declaring one
will be wholly in the hands Of the grand
officers and Of the committeeman, eigh-
teen Of whom have taken part in the con :
ferences with General Manager Ward.
In reply to a question to-day as to What
department of the road would be affected
by a strike, Mr.. Garretson said every
yardman, baggageman, passenger and
freight conductor and. brakeman would
quit work as soon as the order to do SO
was given.
In round numbers. some 1850 men are
members of the zorganiza tions that are
making the fight on the double header
question, and all these would abide by the
order of the grand officers ordering them
to go out.
A conference will probably be held be-
tween Mr.. Ward and the grand officers
and committeeman Monday morning. and
at this meeting it is altogether likely
that the question of peace or war between
the men and the road will be decided.

Bobby Jonks on Human Nature

egotism was pulled out of them, would
look like umbrellas with the ribs gone.
Uncle Bob says, Whats the use in

wait long enough it will fall down to usf
We don't have to kill man in order to
get even with him; if patient he
will die on hi own hook. If we don't run
after the women they'll run after us.
All this is human nature"
So is most everything else in this life,
according to Uncle Bob's way of looking
at it. He says he don't know why re-
formers are generally deadbeats, only it
seems to be human nature. He also says
that when you find a pack of uncurried
children that need patching so badly that
they have to scoot up garnet every. time
company comes, and husband and
father as meek as a rabbit, you are sure
to find wife and mother with fierce,
commanding nose and a mission that
compels her to go up and down the earth
seeking whom she may devour-whie her
husband makes the bed at home, and her
poor, benighted children cover under it
great plenty. Mans inhumanity is
pretty bad but I guess, from what hear
about it. that wofnan's inhuwomanity is
a heap worse.
This is all can think Of about human
nature, except that there is a great deal
of it in most verybody-though, Of
course, some people have more than
others.

4 SERIOUS "JOKE"
The Sequel Is Hardly What the
Perpetrators Expected It
Would Be.
They Land in Jail and Must Ans.
wer to Charge Of Horse
Stealing.

Two young practical jokers played a
Joke" upon James Griggs, manager of
the Central Fuel and Transfer company,
yesterday, and are now in jail awaiting
action by the grand jury on charge Of
grand larceny, having failed to produce
$500 each for bail. They are charged with
stealing a horse and buggy.
Mr.. Griggs left his rig standing in front
of his office on Fourth street yester-
day while he went Inside. When he went
out he found it was gone. He reported
to the police and later in the evening Pa
trolman Mcleod found the young men on
Washington avenue with the horse and
buggy. They were driving from saloon to
saloon and manifested no inclination to
return the rig to it's owner. They were
arrested and taken to the central police
station where they gave the names of
James Connors and Will E. Davis.
When the men were arrested they
disclaimed all intention Of stealing the
horse and explained that they were sim
ply trying to play a joke upon Griggs.
The latter was determined not to let the
matter go as joke. He secured a war
rant charging the men with stealing his
horse. All attempts to dissuade him
proved vain and the men were sent to
Jail.

THOUGHT TWAS AN ANNUAL
Woman's Error Causes Heated Dis
cussion on a Street Car.

Passengers on an Eighth and Central car
this morning were called on to referlee
a heated debate between the conductor
and woman who said she had an an
nual pass. When she entered the car
she handed the conductor an ordinary,
one-ride coupon which the conductor i'm
mediately put in his pocket. The woman
ordered him to return the ticket which
she said had been given her by an Off
cial who had told her it was valid until
next January. The conductor gave her
the choice of allowing him to keep the
ticket or of paying her fare. mot half Of
you conductors know your business she
said land you will have to be taught a
few things She later paid her fare and
gained possession of her ticket. The con-
ductor as he gave it to her. held it in
plain view Of the crowd. When the pas
sengcrs saw it there was a general laugh
which somewhat discounted her and she
got off the car at Third street saying to
the conductor that he might expect to be
called before the general manager.
