NO HOPE OF
MONEY FOR RIVER
VAN SAINT RETURNS FROM
FRUITLESS WASHINGTON
s.. ERRAND.
Service Pension Bill Cuts Out All
Hope of Appropriations for Rivers
and HarbOrs at This Session of Con-
gress-Delegates to National Con-
yentiOn.

Governor Van SAINT returned from
Washington to-day, and in discussing
his trip said:
Its purpose was to present the
matter of Mississippi river improve
ment, as a member of the committee
appointed at Dubuque. We received a
courteous hearing from the rivers and
harbors committee. Later we called
on Speaker Cannon, who told us
frankly that there was little prospect
of river and harbor bill this session.
The service pension bill seems sure
to pass, and this will take $1S,OOO,OOO
year. 1t will mean no appropria-
tons for public buildings or rivers
and harbors at this session.
There was some discussion while
1 was in Washington about the man
ner of selecting our district delegates
to the national convention. OF course
that is a matter in the hands Of our
|. state committee"
/ Judge Jamison, chairman of the
state committee, who was present
said that the committee would desig-
nate the congressional committees
which had charge of the candidates
campaigns in 1902, as having author
ity to cal 1.-The district conventions.
Governor Van SAINT denied that he
had declared himself q candidate for
delegate-at-large to the convention
He said:
"Of course, any republican would
appreciate such an honor. but I am
not seeking it"

TWENTY-SIX LODGES WILL BE
REPRESENTED AT ANNUAL
&MEETING IN MINNEAPOLIS TO-
MORROW.

Twenty-siX lodges Of the Sons Of
Norway will be represented at the
fourth annual meeting Of the head
lodge in this city tomorrow. This
young organization, since it's last an
nual meeting which also was held in
this city, has gained foothold in Wis
consin and North Dakota and has
grown from seventeen lodges to twen-
ty-six, increasing the membership to
1900 or more.
The business sessions will be held at
the rooms Of Nordlyset lodge, 26
Washington avenue S. The social
session will be held tomorrow even
ing at Hotel Nicollet. This will be in
the form of a banquet for which James
A. Peterson has been selected as toast
master. Mayor James G.. Haynes,
among others, will speak.
The Sons of Norway is fraternal
benevolent order with insurance fea-
lures. 1t was the outgrowth Of be-
nevolent society organized in North
Minneapolis by a number of working
men. 1t grew rapidly and the larger
organization followed, the old society
becoming Nidaros lodge, No. 1. Since
branching out the growth has been
rapid, but still has been kept within
conservative bounds.

not this man appear long ago, and, if
his reasons for secrecy are true,
would not a man who will let a MUIR
derer go unpublished for personal rea-
sons make up a story in order to Sc
cure the good will of powerful Off
Gals?
The mans story is entirely improb-
able. He may be the fourth man,
but he is not the third man, and we
can prove it, -.
McGhee Opens Defense.
At the afternoon session F. L. Nc
Ghee opened for the defense. Ora
torically, his address was splendid, but
it was not a, conventional opening.
The speaker made an eloquent, plea
for justice, devoid of prejudice, There
were indications that the position of
the defense would be that the state
had not proved it's case beyond a
reasonable doubt"
Later in developing the outlines of
the defense he said that Calderone
had bought an overcoat at the same
pawnshop at which he is alleged to
have bought the knife found near the
scene of the crime. He said that the
man alleged to have sold the knife to
CalderOne did not recall the defend
ant at all. 5
CalderOne had a knife, one more
suitable for the crime he is charged
with than the knife now in evidence.
He said that it would be shown that

who thereupon signed it as his true
confession voluntarily given.
Calderone and Battalia met at the
Olympia fruit store on Hennepin and
Sixth. With Battalia was a stranger, a
man about As years of age and very
mysterious person. Battalia, or Sam,
as the dead man is called In the con-
fession, simply referred to the stranger
as a friend. He did not introduce him
stranger never spoke a word nor did
Sam speak to him. Calderone could
not say whether he was an Italian or
not and could recall nothing of his ap-
pearance.
The route taken was down Sixth
street to Cedar avenue, by street car
out to Twenty-seventh street, on foot
to Minnehaha avenue, then zig-zag and
across lots to Franklin avenue, and
thence over to the bridge. Sam pre-
tended to be looking for a dance.
While crossing the bridge Calderone
was slightly in advance of Sam, who
without warning, struck him on the
head with a knife. Calderone cried
E"Oohl Ooh!'' and turned and grappled
with Sam, wrenching the knife from
f his hand. Frightened by the flow OF
blood and believing that his end was
near, he attacked Sam and stabbed
him repeatedly. The stranger did not
interfere but ran away. He nigh,
have stabbed Sam ten times, he did not
know. Calderone declared that he
never had any quarrel with Battalla
over business matters, no trouble over
woman, nor any difficulty with him
Deputy Sheriff Arthur Jones was
then recalled to the stand to cor
roborate the statements In the confess
sion.

pick up its ears. He developed that
there were three knives implicated in
the tragedy in one way or another.
Battalia's Knife Appears.
Nov you have another knife in
your possession which has figured in
this case ?" asked McGhee abruptly.
Eyes, have" replied the chief, and
in answer to other questions he said
TT was Battalia's knife. At least,
Battalia's brother, Filipo, said that it
was Battalia's knife

''This is my first appearance on this
case" replied the chief.

"And you have another knife figur-

Boardman, land to give it any atten-

Chez. Don't attempt to indicate to

Then there was a long recess, dur
ing which it was whispered about
that the state would rest at this point.

With Robbing Baroness Radzik-

James Walters, wanted for alleged

arrested early this morning by De-
tectives Howard and Neary just as he
was preparing to leave for Chicago.
More than $4,000 worth of dia-
monds were found in his possession
and he confessed to having disposed
of more than $4,000 worth in diff
ferent cities. The specific charge on
which Walters is held is the steal

Walters was arrested with man
named Kerry. Altho no Jewels were
found on Walters, all Of the jewels
found in the possession of Kerry are
thought to have been handed to him.

detectives think that Kerry is entire

A Well Advertised Man.
/. Walters is one of the cleverest
hotel thieves known in police circles
Attic he is rs. he is slight and does
not look more than IS. He has had
no difficulty in securing employment
as a hotel bell boy.
Walters has little to say, but he ad-
nits that he was employed in a Chi
cago hotel a few months ago when a
large robbery was committed. He
admits that he was arrested for petty
larceny while employed in the Met
ropolitan hotel in Chicago. He re-
fuses to say more.
The police think that Walters is
one of the trio of hotel thieves that
operated in Chicago, st. Louis and
New Orleans, and went to the Paris
exposition with the booty. Two Of
them were arrested in Denver and
taken to Chicago for trial. One OF
them confessed the crimes and told
a startling story.

awaiting the arrival of the Califor-
mia officers. Kerry will probably be
held on charge of receiving stolen

CHIEF CONROY'S STORY
Head of the Police Department Tel

of Calderone Interview.
The crowd at Calderones trial was
as big as usual this morning and in
claded a noticeable sprinkling of
italians and colored people.
Superintendent E. j. Conroy of the
police department was the first wit
ness. He was called with reference
to the confession.
II asked Calderone if he killed Bat
talia," said Conroy, land he said 'yeS,
and went on to tell the story as COW
cred in the written confession. At the
bridge Battalia hit him with a
bridge Battalia had hit him with a
knife which Calderone grabbed then
I stab and stab him.
IT asked, did you mean to kill
him?' He said, Yes. I thought I
going to die and I, want him to die,
The knife found near the scene OF
the crime and now in evidence was
brought by Chief Conroy to Calde-
rome on Sunday the day after he had
given himself up. At that time Cal
derone shrank from the weapon and
had refused to look at it.
On the following day, the day OF
the confession, Calderone declared
that he had never owned the knife
nor seen it before, and positively re-
fused to acknowledge that he had
bought the knife, when Informed that
the state had a witness who would
swear to the sale of the weapon tc
him. He could not describe the knife
used on the bridge, as he did not re.
call having seen it.
Chief Conroy said that. Calderone
admitted that he might have stabbed
Battalia ten or twenty times; other
wise he had no changes to make in
the written confession.
McGhee Rejects confession
