ALDERMAN. PAYS !. 1.
ASALIYARY FINE
ALL SPITTERS LOOK ALIKE TO
POLICE JUDGE.
The Defendant Tried to Prove That
He Had INDUCED in the Practice
Modestly, but Even That Admission
Caused His Conviction.

All soitters look alike to Police
Judge Dickinson Of the municipal
court. Men Of all stations in life,
from Migrants to prosperous business
men, have been paying money to the
city, during the last month, because
they thought the red warning was a
bluff. ~,.... ....,,.-f. -.... ..t.-
Former Alderman Thomas P. Dwy-
er was one of the thoughtless ones,
and this morning; he was in police
court to answer to the charge of spit
ting on a Kenwood street car. He put
up a strong fight. and had witnesses
who testified that he had not spit to
excess, simply a few times OH the iron
steps of the car. - ~s - Z.
His time and evidence were wasted
however,, for the ordinance says that
a man shall not spit, even once, on the
| car, and in order to stop the practice
entirely, the court has been imposing
a SIS fine in every case, and constru.
| ing the ordinance strictly according tc
| it's wording. Thus, the admission or
the part of Mr.. Dwyer that he ha6
| spit on the car at all was sufficient tt
prove him guilty, and he paid thu
| usual fine Of IS. -
| MIR. Dwyer says he is not at all dis
posed to- criticize: the ruling of thu
court, as the ordinance itself justifie
it, but*he animated that the result O.
many. political battles had been de
! cided by just such incidents.

|PAY OR LOSE LICENSE
CHOICE OFFERED JOSEPH
THOMAS, In WHOSE SALOON A
PATRON WAS ROBBED SATUR-

Joseph Thomas, a saloonkeeper at
200 NicOllet avenue, learned this
morning the meaning of Police Super
intendent Conroys system. of holding
saloon men responsible for illegal &C
tons in their places. Thomas was. ION
the carpet because John Clark, a
laborer, from Willow River, was
robbed of $35 in Thomas place. In
vain did Thomas plead that he knew
nothing Of the robbery; he was told
that if he could not be responsible for
what occurred in his place, he must
Quit the saloon business.
Clark reported that he had come to
the city to have a tooth extracted and
that after the operation was over he
went to Thomas saloon and ordered
whisky. Tired out by d long siege of
toothache, he soon fell asleep and
when he awoke his purse and $35 were
gone.
Superintendent Conroy refused to
argue the case with Thomas, but told
him that he could have his choice,
make good Clark's loss or have his
license revoked. He agreed to settle.

LAKE ST. TOO sHADoWY
Residents Will Make Move for More
Liqhts. - ..-r

Eighth ward residents who live in the
vicinity Of Lake street are going to cir
culate petition asking for more arc lights
along that popular driveway. At present
there is one light for every two blocks.
These lights the residents say are not at
the most dangerous points and on this
account there were several accidents on
the several crossings last, summer. There
is no light at the junction of Portland av-
enue and Lake streets and in the summer
this is the most contested point along the
entire drive. Portland avenue is .espe-
cially popular with automobilists and early
last fall there were two serious accidents
on that corner because the lighting was
poor. Z: .-..
Another place for: which a, light will be
asked is at Chicago avenue and Twenty
ninth street, where the Eighth and Cen
trail cars cross the Milwaukee tracks
THERE'S but one gas lamp and there were
a number of, small accidents there during

COURT NEWS
w. III. JOHNSON'S TRIAL DATED
The Case Will Come On in About Two
Weeks.

w. H. Johnson will be tried Feb. IS.
At least this is the intention Of the
county attorney, who opposed a mo-
ton made this morning by defendants
counsel to have the case tried at
once or continued over the term.
Johnson, who was formerly super
intendent of the poor and secretary Of
the board of charities and corrections,
was indicted for misrepresentation of
public funds. He was tried and con-
victed, but later secured a. new trial
on account Of new evidence. If he is
tried this term it will be upon the old
Indictment.
A new indictment was returned by
the November grand jury against w.
H. Johnson and G. H. Brown, but on
account of the sheriffs inability to
locate the latter there has been no
arraignment and it is understood that
none will be until Brown is in town.

NEEDS MORE ROOM
The Minneapolis Club Considers Larger
and New Quarters.

A resolution introduced by w. c. Ed
gar and adopted at the annual meeting
two weeks ago may result in new or en-
larged quarters for the Minneapolis club.
A. F. Pillsbury. w. G. Edgar and W. W.
Heffelfinger were appointed to consider
both plans. It is not likely that this in
vestigation will be hurried or that any
sudden changes will be made.
The club could well use ten or twelve
more members livi: g rooms and must
have additional space for card rooms,
which are much crowded from to
p. m. daily.
Conservative members believe that the
carrying out of the original design of the
architect, William Charming Whitney, vii
be sufficient. Others favor a new site.
The club is in good financial shape

The Coe Commission company, the lead
ing factor in the independent Grain and
Stock Exchange, has closed several Of it's
smaller offices in the Dakotas and Mime
sofa and has abandoned it's offices in such
eastern cities as Detroit, Buffalo,, Toronto
and Niagara Falls.
Among the northwestern branches about
to be closed or already closed are those
at Brookings. De Snlet, Pierre. Breton,
Sisseton, S. D.; Bismarck, Dickinson and
Wahpeton, N. D., and Crookston Mimi,
and all the branches on the Northern Pa
cifc railroad between Minneapolis and
Helena, Mont. ....,
George J. Hammond, president of the
Coe Commission company, says that there
was nothing unusual in the selling of the
eastern offices and the closing of the
northwestern branches. I'VE sold the east
ern branches, including Detroit and Cleve-
land, to a Pittsburg firm largely because
poor wire service interfered with our bust
ness and we preferred to operate in the
west" he said to-day. ''The Dakota
branches were closed because it was
shown by our system Of offices that it die
not pay to keep them open. But where We
have closed five here we have opened fiji
teen in the far west"

Antonio Calderone, convicted of

The general opinion is that the pris-

tiary.' 'Calderone himself expresses
the belief that the effort to secure a
lighter sentence will be successful, and
that his term at Saltwater will be
considerably less than a. score. The

the homicide as told in his confes-
sion, but is apparently resigned to his

HOW TO REACH TURK
Rev. George F. Herrlck Says Practical
Christianity Offers the Way.

Rev. George F. Herrck Says Practical
Christianity Offers the Way.
Practical Christianity is the one way of
touching the heart of the Turk, in the
opinion of Rev. George F. Herrick, d. D.,
who spoke at Plymouth Congregational
church last night on missionary work and
needs in the sutans empire, as he has
seen it thru his work there since 1866.
DR.. Herrlck denied that the Turk had
a natural fondness for bloodshed and out
rage. He held, rather that the Turk is
naturally a gentle, amiable, temperate, in
dustrious and hospitable character, in
many instances the pattern of gracious
courtesy, learning and manliness. He at
tributed most Of the troubles in Turkey to
the fact that in the Moslem state the civil
and religious power is one and the same
and that all officers are both civil and
religious in their various capacities.
The increased dstrength Of the evangelical
church in Turkish territory will, DR.. Her
rick believes, go the farthest in solving the
problems Of Turkeys future.
