ZABLOCKE CANNOT
s DISMISS HIS SUIT
Court Blocks Mans Attempt to Dodge
Order to Pay Alimony

Felix Zablocke, who lives on the up
per flats, discovered yesterday that it
was not such an easy matter as he had
and the action brought by him against
his wife, which he contemplated hav-
ing dismissed yesterday, is still pend
ing. When Zablocke tried to let go it
didn't drop.
Zablocke charged his wife with elop-
ing to Milwaukee with another man,
and explained that $3.50 of his savings
had disappeared at the same time. He
brought an action for divorce, but
when ordered to pay alimony in the
sum of So per week until the case was
settled, he weakened and began to fig
ure how he could escape the payment
of the alimony.
He finally decided that he would dis
miss the divorce action, in which event
he would be relieved of the responsible
ity of paying alimony. He would in
vite his wife to return to him, al
though he had no idea that she would
do so, but it would put the matter up
to her.
But Zablocke's plans didn't work out
when he got into court. Judge Orr
declined to entertain motion for the
that Zablocke was already in arrears
for alimony, and when that was paid,
a. motion for dismissal, if made in good
faith, might be entertained. Zablocke
didn't have the money with which to
settle, and the court gave him until
Wednesday to get it.

should now send two good men to the
St. Louis convention. / do not believe
in sending to the convention an in
structed delegation, and there may
come time in the st. Louis conVen-
ton when our delegates will wish its
hands were not tied. Our delegation is
not large, but it should be intelligent.
Strong men have come to the front
in the last few years. There is Will
liams, of Mississippi, that brainy man
who has demonstrated the greatest
craftsmanship in the house since Car
Isle. Think of Williams when we name
our delegates. And there is Gray, of
Delaware. There may be a time when
your vote might be cast for Judge
Gray, that great exponent of Democ-
racy in. the settlement of the coal strike.
Wouldn't you be glad to do it?"
Cries of mo" were raised from one
part of the room and yells of .open
shop" open shop" were heard.
"The other side deserves some con-
sideration here" cried Williamson, wild
with anger and excitement. I'VE have
right to word or two. Remember
this is a compromise convention
What did you get for it?' yelled
Hearst delegate, and bedlam broke
loose.
Williamson Is Hooted
Williamson held the floor and flung
back defiance to the men who were
trying to hoot him down. 81 worked
for this party when some Of you were
in swaddling clothes" he shouted back
at them, and then he closed his nomi-
mating speech by declaring that Win
ston, with his brother, had done more
for the party than any other man on
the convention floor.
d. A. Kennedy, an old white-haired
man, interrupted to second the nomina-
tion of Lind, though Mr.. Lind had not
been nominated for anything He paid
him q fine tribute and wanted to read
a letter he had received from the Min
neapolis congressman. After several
votes had been taken and in the last
Of which Kennedy won his point, he
was prevailed by friend to leave the
platform to George Douglas, who nomi
mated Elijah Barton for district dele
gate. He said Barton had done more
in the last half dozen years for pure,
clean Democracy in Minneapolis than
any other man in the county. He had
sacrificed his time and his business to
the cause of the party.
Several others tried to speak on the
scheme of voting for delegates, among
them Henry Warner and William Dor
rian. but the chair would not hear
them, and one delegate threatened to
know eff this is a Democratic conven-
ton or gag law" He contended that
the vote must be by ballot, as there
were four candidates and two to be
elected Chairman Bowler refused to
consider the proposition and the con-
vention voted to vote by precincts on
the roll call.
Then moment later the chair an
nounced that some wards had agreed to
vote as a unit. Williamson protested
that the resolution called for the vote
by precincts, a Hearst delegate thought
that the Bowler ruling would engender
bad feeling and the convention stood by
the precinct plan.
The secret of the Hearst mems oppo-
sition to the -precinct plan was appar-
ent on the first call Of the roll. On the
call of the First preciHct, First ward,
delegate announced three for LARA
bee and three for Corrigan." Instantly
The Saint Paul globe., 1904-06-12

the vote was challenged. "That man
doesn't live in the precinct" shouted a
First Warder. The convention was in
an uproar, but sheepishly the man ad-
mitted that he did not reside in the
precinct The three delegates had gone
home. The chair ruled that their votes
could not be counted.
The roll call was proceeded with and
the result Of the ballot was: Winston,
165; Barton, 1853; Larrabee, 1877; Corri-
gan, 1876.
The announcement was received by
the Hearst men with all kinds of en-
thusiasm and for fully five minutes
their demonstration continued. The
success of the Hearst managers made
them brave.
I'VE have all been together for years, -
said Orville Rinehart as he mounted
the steps leading to the stage. Il have
fought today some of my best friends.
But it has been a fair fight, and the taiI
goes with the hide. We have won and
I think we're entitled to 102 delegates
to the Duluth convention TO carry our
desires at that convention. I move that
the chair appoint committee of three
to select these delegates and move that
they be instructed to vote as unit"
Stevens Admits Defeat
E. A. Stevens was on his feet in an
instant. 1--WE are willing to concede to
you what we should have demanded
had we won," he said, and there were
cheers for Stevens from the Hearst
men. "The chair shall appoint this
committee" he said land they to name
this delegation to be approved by the
convention
1t was after o'clock and things NOV
ed rapidly. Peter Weingart and John
Burns were named as alternates to the
convention, and the matter of recon-
mending delegate at large for Hen
nepin county to the state convention
was referred to the Hennepfn county
delegation to the state convention. The
committee to select the delegation is
w. H. Williams. Peter Gunderson and
Nicholas O'Connor, and it is practically
certain that Swan ]. TurnbIad will be
presented to the convention by the
Hennepin delegation. Williams moved
that the delegation be instructed for
Turnblad, but was ruled out of order.
On Williams motion the district del
egates to st. Louis were instructed for
w. r. Hearst amid triumphant howls
by the Hearst following, which was
about all that was left in the conven-
ton hall.
The resolutions committee reported
resolutions indorsing the Kansas City
platform, declaring against graft,
charging the protective tariff with be-
ing the greatest graft, and saying It
must be corrected; declaring for reci-
procftY with Canada and Mexico: that
revenues raised by taxation should be
limited to the needs of the government:
that constitutional amendments should
be submitted to a vote of the people.

how he had been born on farm in
New Hampshire, of his preparation for
the bar and of his location in Mime
sofa in 1854. A fitting allusion was
made to his long career in Minnesota,
to the success he attained as a lawyer
and to the distinction he won as a
soldier.
At the conclusion of the address
Gen. Childs paid a personal tribute to
the memory of the deceased, and asked
that the memorial be spread upon the
records of the court.
Ex-Lieut. Gov. w. H. Yale, for many
years a warm personal friend of Gen.
Sanborn, reviewed the life Of the de-
ceased from the time he arrived in
Minnesota until death had claimed
him. He had never known a more true,
a more conscientious man.
1T is now nearly forty years since
Gen. Sanborn returned the sword to it's
scabbard, removed the epaulets and
stars from his shoulders, and laid them
aside as mementos of the past" said
Gov. Childs. He renewed his practice
in the profession to which he was so
devotedly attached and resumed his
place in the ranks as private citizen;
and it is in these last thirty eight
years that the present generation has
become better acquainted with his real
merits and great ability. However
high Gen. Sanborn may have stood in
the legal profession, whatever praise
he may have received as a wise and
efficient legislator, whatever laurels he
may have won as a commanding gen.
eral, 1 think he earned his greatest
fame as a public spirited, generous
hearted, energetic and philanthropic
citizen. A grateful people are united in
testffying to their high appreciation Of
his everyday life"
Tribute From Neighbor
C. D. O'Brien spoke from the stand
point of one who had known Gen. San
born for thirty-six years. They had
been neighbors and warm friends. Mr..
O'Brien said he believed he was a bet
ter man for having known Gen. San
born.
"St. Paul owes much to Gen. San
born," said J. F. Fitzpatrick. For
fifty years he devoted much of his time
to the interests of the city. He was
public spirited in every sense Of the
word and to his wise and untiring eff
forts the city and state owes a great
deal. He was a kindly, courteous gen.
tleman-always the same"
Representing the bench, Judge Has
cal R. Brill ordered the memorial
placed upon the records of the court,
and in conclusion paid a glowing trib-
ute to the memory of Gen. Sanborn.
