"KING SOLOMON"
BEHIND The BARS
COURT CAUTIONS SHERIFF TO
BEWARE OF HIS MAGIC.
Master of Mysteries Makes Himself

Judge Brooks yesterday afternoon as
the alleged monarch of Indian magic

an indictment charging assault with
intent to kill upon Mrs. Minnie Solo

morous vein. 81 presume locks don't

promptly hypnotic his captors, and

How about the court and jury?"
questioned the deputy sheriff.
oh, [ think we will make out all
right, answered the judge. THE
wheels of the Hennepin county courts
sometimes grind slowly, but they grind
exceeding small and if the man is
guilty he will surely be punished

less than tWenty-four hours King Sol

to him and the Kaleidoscope Whirl of
fortunes wheel seems to have par
TALLY supplied the man.
The monarch of mystery had little
to say when he stood before the bar of
justice yesterday afternoon. He did
not know whether or not he had a
lawyer engaged and the only thing he
was sure Of was that he wanted to
plead not guilty to the charge of
shooting his wife with intent to injure
her. He stated to the court that he
hated to stay in Jail, but could not Sc
cure the necessary. $1,000 bond.
Arrayed in broadcloth Prince AL
bert and fine linen the colored prophet
was led back to his cell in the main
ward of the county Jail. Once there
he sent for some cigars and dainties
which cost him $40 and which he
distributed among the other prisoners.
In return for this courtesy the Jail
gang conceived the brilliant idea of
getting some of the kings gold and
when Tailor Clausen next visited the
ward to his surprise he found King
Solomon the principal figure in a
friendly game Of draw This was
stopped and during the rest of the af-

A NINE.HOUR COMPROMISE
ALDERMANIC COMMITTEE ON
LABOR TERESHES OVER THE
RESOLUTION OF ALDERMAN
NEIIS j. NELSON.

To increase the day to nine hours
and the pay to So is the compromise
offered by the councils special COM
mittee on labor in lieu of Alderman
Nels J. Nelson's resolution to pay So
per day for eight hours. Yesterdays
meeting of the committee was we'll at
tended and each side to the controver-
sy was well represented. Fred Chute
and c. w. Gould Of the real estate
board, and N. w. Nelson of the Build
ers' and Traders exchange opposed
the resolution. Hugh Jennings, Phil
Carlin, A. G. cambridge and c.. r.
Peterson spoke in behalf of the labor
ing men. Mr.. Jennings commented
sarcastically on the silence of the real
estate board and the builders ex-
change on the proposition to increase
the salaries of the aldermen and the
mayor.
When the arguments had been con-
Guided Alderman Bow moved the pas
sage of the Nelson resolution. Alder
man Lane proposed as a substitute
that the city laborers be paid 50 for
nine hours. The substitute was APP
proved by Aldermen Lane, Mccoy,
Holmes, Peter Nelson, Dwyer and
Clark, Aldermen Nels j. Nelson, Bow
and Vaughan voting in the negative.
When the resolution is reported
back to the council tomorrow night
there will be a minority report favor
ing the eight-hour plan, to which the
aldermen are committed by previous
acts.

WHY FRED TEFFT
LOOKED GLOM
THE SMILE FROZEN OUT OF
PIONEER LIMITED "CON.''
BY an Unusual Combination of Cir
cumstances Over Which He Had No
Control, He Had to Travel Thru
subzero Atmosphere in Rather
scant Clothing.

Employees at the West hotel who
are accustomed, to a triWeekly CHEEKY
greeting from Fred q. Tefft, a Pioneer
Limited conductor, were not a little
surprised this morning to miss the
cheeriness from Mr.. Teft's greeting.
Mr.. fTeft appeared at the hotel wear
ing long ulster, carefully buttoned
down to his ankles, and a face almost
as long. He asked for his room in a
elevator shaft In about two hours a
small boy bearing a suit of citizens
clothes, appeared, and was directed
to the popular conductors room. The
story, as it is told partly by Mr.. Tefft
and partly by his friends, is this:
Coming up from Chicago last night
the Pioneer Limited suffered a slight
accident at La Crosse, a draw-bar on
one Of the sleepers breaking. Rather
than delay the train until the. car
could be taken out, turned around
and hooked to the end of the train,
Conductor Tefft had the car cut out
altogether and left for the fast mail
to pick up an hour later.
This car had safely slowed in one
of it's lockers the conductors wearing
apparel, designed for use when off
duty. This he discovered when he
awoke in Minnesota this morning
form to wear. And this is where the
friends take UP the story. Determined
that he would not decorate the streets
Of Minneapolis looking like a blue
bird, the conductor called for help
DOTTED his suit of blue and sent cut
for something else. And then an
other switch was made, and that is
why the popular and genial conductor
walked forth into the frosty air and
]liked for the West hotel, attired
chiefly in derby hat, pair of shoes
and long, black ulster.

BELLS, BIRDS, BABIES
A Unique Program by Dunbar Company In
Y. M. c. A, Series

The next entertainment in the Y. M. c.
A. lecture course following the Jacob A.
Riis lecture will be the Dunbar company
concert to be given March In the Y. NJ.
G. A. auditorium. The Dunbar company
is made up of male quartet and hand
bell ringers, with Miss Elma B. Smith,
reader and bird warbler. The male quar-
tet is made up thus First tenor George
E. King; second tenor, Ralph Dunbar;
barytone, Harry c. Dunbar; basso, Ralph
Fl. Parland. 81. i5
The company is almost unique in the
list of musical entertainers on the road.
Last season was a transcontinental one,
and not evenings enough were provided
by the calendar to let the company ac-
cept the numerous demands on it's time.
The male quartet is a complete concert
organization in itself. The bell ringers
are unequaled, carrying a peal of more
than a hundred musical handbeHs, cast
specially for the company by England
greatest bell founder. Ralph Dunbar of
the quartet is know as 1.-The American
'cellist." Harry Dunbar plays the flute.
Miss Smith is probably the greatest
novelty reader. impersonator and imitator
before the public. Her limitations of birds,
babies and children are unique feature.
Her bird warbling is unsurpassed.

CHAMBER DISCIPLINE
A Member Suspended for Alleged Vio-
IatiOn of Trading Rules.

T. E. Cole, member of the Chamber
of Commerce, was this morning sus-
pended for one year from the privi-
leges Of the trading floor. This is the
first severe disciplinary measure taken
by the chamber for some time, and it
caused some comment.
Mr.. Cole is said by. the directors to
have violated section Of rule of the
bylaws.
Under rule four a member of the
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce,
receiving an order from a customer to
buy or sell grain at the market, is
obliged to execute the order at once
in the pit. No member is permitted
tt carry trade on his own RESPONSE
bility. The recent heavy trading has
made it difficult to keep close tab on
trades in the pit and it may be that
unintentional violations of rules have
been committed. The directors are
determined, however, to punish every
violation, whether accidental, inten-
tional, or merely technical.

LITERATURE AS TRUTH
Best Modern Work True to Life, Says D

Best Modern Work True to Life, Says Dr..
Burton.
DR.. Richard Burtons third lecture at
the Unitarian church last evening, on
Literature as TRUTH" brought out some
Of the best fruit Of the lecturers ripened
experience and wholesome views. He
spoke in beginning of the tendency to
criticise the novel and the drama as I'M
real, because they portray life and Incl
dent that are unfamiliar to our narrow
eXistences. The best modern literature,
he maintained is true to life, and gives us
more correct ideas than we can form by
personal experience, because our view is
limited. while the field Of literature Is
world wide. Literature Of to-day Is far
more faithful to life than it was even
fifty years ago, while even the so-called
rcalsts Of the eighteenth century do not
always ring true
DIR. Burton made a partial justification
for Mary MacI.ane, saying that this young
thing revealed some things which had not
been seen in literature before, about the
inner self of woman. She told frankly OF
herself what Is true of many people of
both sexes, that they swear inWardly'
when occasion provokes. In spite Of vul-
garity and lack of art, there was some
thing in the book, while her second effort
tho more artistic, was common place, and

SILBERBERG'S LUCK
There May Be No Star Witness to Appear
AGAINST Him.

Will Harry Silberberg, alias j. J. Car
Isle, return to Minneapolis when his case
is called next April? 1t is freely pre-
dicted by the county officials that he will
be on hand, and the reason for this belief
is that Miss Clarce Heebner, the COM
planning witness in the case against him,
has gone to California. In case she does
not return, the man cannot be prosecuted,
and the advertised defendant can
come with impunity and carry away his
81 900 bail
