and CASE OPENS
Continued from First Page.)

the state expects to prove in the case
against DR.. A. A. Ames:
That DR.. Ames, soon after he be-
came acting mayor, proposed to lr-
about among a certain class Of women
in the city and assess the sum which
each was to pay for protection"
That Gardner did go about the city.
in pursuance Of this arrangement, and
visit from thirty-f1ve to forty Of them.
That in December Gardner called
upon Bessie Lee, named in the indict-
ment, and collected from her $40 In
money. te3
That he paid this collection over to
DR.. Ames some time in the month Of
December, 1901, at his office In the
old city hall.
That he collected other sums from
this woman and sums from some
twenty-five or thirty other women
who sought police protection.
That some time in December, 1901,
Irwin Gardner visited DR.. Ames' pri-
vate office in the city hall. counted out
a large amount Of money and handed
it to DR.. Ames, and that this trans
action was witnessed by Thomas R..
Brown, the mayors secretary.
That patrolmen We're ordered to re-
port to Gardner, under whose direc-
tion they located those women who
were not paying any graft" secured
evidence against them, but did not ar
rest any of them without Gardner's
orders, acting for the mayor.
That these same patrolmen were de-
tailed to pick up "street-walkers' who
were interfering with the business Of
the women who paid for police protec-
ton. &
That Norbeok objected to taking or
ders from Gardner, but when he .ap-
pealed to DR.. Ames he was told: "You
do as Gardner directs YOU"
That Ray Harris, a woman paying
graft" was arrested and that DR..
Ames paid her fine.
One Juror Excused.
After twelve Jurors had been Sc
cured in the A. A. Ames case yester-
day afternoon, Mr.. Odell, for the de-
fense, asked that Edwin J. Forster, the
juror who in the morning had an
nounced that he was biased, be re-
called. The court granted this re-
quest, a challenge for actual bias was
interposed and quickly found to be
true. This necessitated the empanel-
ling Of one more juror and the task
was too much for yesterday afternoon.
This procedure established a bad pre-
cedent, and as a result of it. several
Of the jurors who were chosen with
out challenge, called upon the court
and informed him that they had opin-
ions. Judge Elliott, however, refused
to listen to their pleas.
This morning the search after juror

A Motion to Quash.

defendants counsel, moved that he be
allowed to enter a motion to quash the
states two separate offenses, or rather,
stated the same offense in the same
indictment twice.
Counsel admitted that the time for.
entering such a motion had passed
but pleaded as an excuse that he had
not been called into the case until two
days ago and had not had time to
study the Indictment.
''If the court please ?'' said Mr..
Boardman. 'This case has been un-
der consideration for a month past
and everything Of this nature should
have been attended to long ago. If
there was any merit in counsel's con-
der the circumstances think it is a
useless waste of time, and as the de-
fense has waived it's rights in the
matter, the state objects. This de-
fendant has been shown every cour-
tesy but there is no reason why all the
rules of procedure should be waived
for DR.. Ames."
Mr.. Cary made further arguments,
but the court finally stopped him and
denied his motion.
rw, A Defense Objection.
County Attorney F. H. Boardman
opened in a dispassionate and direct
statement Of what he intended to
prove and only one objection by de-
PENDANTS attorneys narred the even
tenor of his opening effort.
1--WE object to the statement of
counsel that he is going to show. an
agreement between Gardner and
Ames," exclaimed Mr.. Cary, 1--WE OBJ
ment is anything. Of that kind alleged.
"The court did not pass upon the OBJ
lection but allowed the county attor-
ney to proceed. Mr.. Boardman
smiled and remarked: IT don't won
| der that attorneys for the defendant
object. They would like to object to
evidence we offer, and they probably
will, but we are going to get enough
Of it in to prove to you that this de-
plorable condition existed.
City Clerk L. A. Lydiard was the
| first witness called this afternoon and
| and installation as mayor Of Mime
apolis. Irwin A. Gardner, the states
| star witness, will be called next and
will tell the main facts Of the case as
stated by Mr.. Boardman. His test1-
mony will be the same as that given
| months ago at the first trial.
Witnesses in Waiting.
For the first time since the trial
opened, the witnesses who are to tes-
tify for the state appeared in the
| courtroom. The women who have
been prominent in court circles since
( the beginning Of the investigation into
the Ames administration were all pres
ent. Irwin A. Gardner and Thomas
| r. Brown were in the courthouse, but
| did not remain in the courtroom
DR.. Ames occupied his accustomed
| seat and seemed to take an unusual
| interest in the selection Of the twelfth
member Of the jury which is to pro-
nounce him guilty or innocent of bri-
berry. He conversed almost continu-
ally with one or the other Of his attor-
neys and apparently dictated the pol
Icy of counsel in their examination of

IN NEBRASKA

LINCOLN. Neb.. Aug. 4.-The Demo
cratic and the PopuIist leaders have
agreed upon a plan OF fusion which they
believe will be ratified by the convention
which will meet here on August 10.
Ex-United States Senator William v.
Allen is TO be nominated for governor;
W II. Thompson, the fusion guberna-
torial nominee two years ago, ana Il
Democrat. is TO be named for attorney
general An anti-Parkcr Democrat viii

remaining five places on the State ticket
will go 20 the Populists.
There is to be no trafticking between
the two conventions The Populists are
to name this ticket first. after which IL
Will be Endorsed by the Democrats. Each
party is 10 put up an electoral ticket

WASHINGTON HAS
SELECTED TURNER

TACOMA. Wash. Aug. 4.-The State
Democratic convention which closed
Tuesday night at Bellingham, was one
Of the most harmonious ever held in this
State.
Former Senator George Turner was
nominated for governor as result OF
the almost unanimous desire among
Democrats TO have him head the ticket.
Though Washington is a strong Repub-
Iican State. it is conceded that Turner
has a good chance to win, because the
farmers Of eastern Washington, where
Turner is very popular, are opposed to
the domination of the Republican party
by railroad influences.
Turner left Spokane for the East Two
days ago, thereby saving himself from
mixing up in the selection of the other
candidates.
The platform indorses Parker and Da-
Wis, demands division Of State into Con-
gress districts. favOrs the nOn-partlSaD
selection of judges. favors laws for cleo
ton of officers by direct primaries aid
national irrigation system.

KERN IS NAMED
FOR GOVERNOR

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 4.-The Demo-
cratic State convention was harmonious
and the ticket nominated is regarded as
one Of the best and most representative
that the party ever put in the field in
Indiana
1t was the aim of the party managers,
led by National Chairman Taggart. 10
concede a good deal to the men who
were for Hearst in the recent campaign
for national delegates and they got
a fair representado on the ticket
The old-time politicians are represent
ed by John W. Kern for governor. the
farming element by Warder W. Stevens
for lieutenant governor; the labor peo-
pie by Edward W. Fogarty, mayor Of
South Bend. for secretary of state, and
the Spanish War Veterans by Mayor Da-
vid F. Allen for treasurer.
With four exceptions. and these minor
Offices. about which the party managers
were Indifferent. all the nominations
were made by reclamation.
Early yesterday morning the candi-
dates for all the more important places
on the ticket were called into consulta-
ton and were asked to reach an agree
ment that would prevent friction. It was
urged that Indiana had received the ma
tiOnal Craftsmanship and that MT. rag
CART had given a pledge to restore IN
diana 10 the Democratic column, ana 2
harmonious convention should be ire
first step 10 that end.
Some of the candidates withdrew, 9TH
ers shifted to other places on the ticket
and when the convention met the selec-
lions had practically all been made
The platform made no reference 70 nd-
tiOnal questions except in plank ap-
proving the work of the st. Louis con-
ventiOn.
II is declared that the Democracy OF
Indiana heartily approves and indorses
the wise and conservative declaration
Of principles by the Democratic National
Convention at St. Louis and the sturdy
and able statesmen, Alton 3. Parker and

Nearly every prominent Republican in
Illinois has been credited with planning

marked influence on results in that

played as to what part Secretary Nor
ton Will play in the coming campaign.
1t is said that Secretary Morton never
made a political speech in his life and
knows nothing of the art in which Sec
rotary Shaw and Attorney General
Moody are said to be 50 skilled.
a few days ago a newspaper man who
prominent Administration leaders are TO

Parker. dealing with the problem Of the
development of the trusts, mas Just
come to light. This speech was de-
