HAS FOOLISH IDEAS
States Star Witness I'm Slime
Case Is lndisposed

When w. I. Slime, charged with the
theft of $4,000 worth of Southern Pa
cific bonds from the estate of W. A.
Scott, former general manager of the
Omaha, was arraigned in police court
for preliminary examination yesterday,
County Attorney Kane announced that
a continuance was necessary on ac-
count of the main witness for the
prosecution being confined at ST.
Joseph's hospital suffering from hallu-
cinations.
The county attorney stated that
James P. Murphy, the tailor at $685.
~Wabasha street, who negotiated the
bonds in the East, is suffering from a
nervous disease, and produced a GER
tificate furnished by DR.. Arthur SWee-
ney, showing that Murphy was in the
hospital.
Murphy became i'll three days after
Shines arrest and was placed under the
care OF. DR.. Sweeney" said County At
torney Kane. He suffered from hallu-
cinations, imagining that some one was
trying to kill him, and he-worked him
self into highly nervous condition.
1t was thought that by placing him in
the hospital, where he would be re-
moved from all excitement, he would
recover. DR.. Sweeney says that Muir
ply will probably be able to leave the
hospital soon."
Judge F'inenout continued the case
until Aug. Is, with the stipulation that
if Murphy should be in condition to ap-
pear in court before that time, the
hearing would be taken up sooner.

.FAvORS ia. JOHNSON
}. M. Freeman Thinks Demo.
Gratis Should Run Him

If John Lind persists in his refusal
to become the Democratic candidate
for governor, said John M. Freeman,
OF Olivia, prominent attorney and
member of the Democratic state CEN
trail committee, who was in the city
yesterday, Il believe that the party in
the state should unite on John A. John
son, of st. Peter as the most available
man to make the race. johnson is
widely and favorably known, he has no
entangling alliances with any big in
f1uences, and if elected would give the
state clean, business like administra-
ton free from favoritism.
He has no enemies to punish nor
any coterie of friends to reward He is
a good campaigner, pleasant talker,
and makes friends with the public very
readily. Then, too, he has the friend
ship and esteem of the state press
both Democratic and Republican-and
this is powerful factor in a political
campaign.
Il don't know for certain Freeman
said in answer to a question whether
or not Johnson was seeking the office,
that he is candidate, but he would
have liked the nomination two years
ago, and he is silent now when his
friends are urging him for the nominal
ton this year"
Speaking of local conditions in Rem
vile county, Freeman said: 1T has
been feared that the Democrats would
not do much in our county this year.
but at a meeting last week of the Dem
Focratic county committee, we invited in
few of our leading men, and it was
determined to make fight all along
the line. Candidates for practically all
the county offices will file and we have
a full legislative ticket in the field for
the suffrag es OF the people this fall"

O'D0NNELL ON RAGS
Labor Commissioners Secures.
Data for New Report

A paper read by John O'Donnell,
Minnesota commissioner of labor, at
the annual meeting of the American
and Canadian commissioners of labor
at Concord, N. H, last week was on
Rags, Bones and Bottles" and it was
the first intimation to the public that
the Minnesota commissioner has in
augurated an investigation as to the in
dustry connected with the gathering
of these not very promising articles.
Miss Marie L. Obenaur, one of the
editors Of the Courant, the organ of
the Minnesota Federation of Women's
Clubs, has been detailed by the labor
bureau to make an exhaustive inquiry
into the conditions that surround the
persons engaged in the collection for
the market for old rags, bones and bot
ties. Data is being secured relating to
the compensation of those engaged in
the collection of the castof clothing,
derelict bones and empty bottles of the
Twin Cities, and to the profits that
usually accrue to the retailer, the
wholesaler and finally to those who
manufacture the bones and rags into
articles of commerce. The work, it ap-
pears, has been pushed with as little
publicity as possible in order that no
obstacles might be thrown in the way
of the young woman making the in
Quiry.
ODonnells paper brought him an
original ballad entitled Any Rags,
when the commissioners journeyed to
the top of Mount Washington, in New
Hampshire, and were entertained at a
big hotel. The commissioner reached
st. Paul on his return from the con-
vention yesterday.

MRS.C.P.V VENUS DIES
At WINDSOR HOTEL
Delegate to Ladies' Benevolent
Catholic Association Con-
vention Expires

Mrs. c. P. Venus, of Norwalk. Ohio,
died very suddenly at her room at the
Windsor hotel early yesterday morn
ing. She was delegate to the Ladies
Catholic Benevolent association con-
vention, and her sudden death proved
a great shock to the delegates when
announced at the opening Of the ses-
sion at the Peoples church Monday
morning.
Mrs. Venus death came, with prac-
illness of only fifteen hours. Death was
due to ptomaine poisoning, according
to the death certificate signed by DR..
w. A. Dennis, but DR.. Dennis later adj
mitted that only symptoms of pto-
maine poisoning were evident, and that
possibly death may have been due to
natural causes.
Accompanied by Mrs. M. A. SHIRLEY,
also of Norwalk, the remains were tax
en- East last night via the North West
ern line, and a son OF Mrs. Venus will
meet the body at Chicago this morn.
ing.
Mrs. Venus came with the Ohio state
delegation to st. Paul week ago to
attend the Ladies' Catholic Benevolent
association, and during her stay in the
city was guest at the Windsor hotel.
Taken Ill in Minneapolis
In company with other women of the
association who were guests of the
same hotel she went to Minneapolis
early Sunday morning and attended
high mass at the Holy Rosary church.
The members of the party had planned
a trip to Minnehaha falls and Fort
Smelling for the afternoon, but at the
conclusion of the church services Mrs.
Venus complained of illness and with
her friends returned to st. Paul.
She was able to walk from the Wa
basha car line to the hotel on st. Peter
street and did not retire to bed until
about o'clock in the afternoon She
was attended by her women friends,
but late in the afternoon DIR. Dennis
was summoned and prescribed for her
She complained of having suffered
similar attacks before, but the physi-
c1an questioned her closely as to what
she had eaten. 1t was admitted that
she had eaten heartily Of watermelon
and sherbet on Saturday evening, and
the physician said it was possible that
one Of these foods had been the cause
of her trouble.
Death Came at a. m.
On leaving the patient DR.. Dennis
notified the hotel authorities that he
considered Mrs. Venus a very sick
woman, and later in the evening DR.. E.
f. Walsh, the house physician at the
Windsor, was summoned. He remained
With Mrs. Venus, who was then known
to be in a dying condition, for some
hours. Her death occurred at a few
minutes before 4 o'clock
Mrs. Venus was about fifty years of
age, and was a delegate from Branch
No. 20S, Norwalk. She is survived by
her husband and five children all
grown. The husband is an insurance
man of Norwalk, and the eldest son is
also business man of that town.
The announcement of the sudden
death, at the opening of the session
yesterday, came as a great surprise to
the delegates, and many expressions of
grief were heard. Requiem mass will
be sung at the Cathedral this morning
for the soul of the departed, and many
of the delegates still in the city will at
tend.

nomination Of county commissioner
from the county district now repre-
sented by Commissioner A. P. Wright,
Withdrew from the race yesterday. Mr.
Wright will now have clear field, I'M
less some one else should file
Mr. Moulder's withdrawal is sup
posed to have followed promise on
the part of Mr. Wright to "be good" On
the question of good roads. 1t is said
to have been for the express purpose of
securing a pledge of this kind from
Mr. Wright that he entered the field.
Mr. Moulder,, who lives at White
Bear, is one of the promoters of the
good roads movement, and a member
and officer of the recently organized
Ramsey County Good Roads associa-
ton, which is seeking to have the coun-
~ board expend more of the road and
bridge fund for permanent roads. and a
much lesser amount for patchwork
Mr. Wright has all along been opposed
to the effort to do away with the old
system of road work, and it was to
get him in line" that Mr. Moulder be-
came a candidate against him. The
filing by Mr.. Moulder is said to have
had the desired effect
At the last meeting of the board
Mr.. Wright voted with the so-caHed
permanent road crowd" His sudden
change was credited to politics at the
time.
During the past few days Mr.. Wright
is said to have made pledges to the
White Bear people that he would sup
port the permanent roads movement,
these pledges having been made with
the understanding that MrMoulder was
to withdraw from the race and leave
Mr.. Wright clear field. The with
draWal by Mr.. Moulder yesterday is
SAID to have been with the explicit I'M
outstanding that Mr.. Wright would

Tee, has not called the Democratic state
convention as yet. and is understood
TO De awaiting developments as to in
oucements to be offered bv ST paul

1t is probable that the convention
Will go to Minneapolis. The Democro+
lc leaders of that city are understood
TO nave rendered the free use of a hall
large enough to accommodate tho con
Ventlon and to have offered the com
mittee 500 to be used for necaseor,,
printing and incidental expenses. The
oiier OF 81. Paul is simply the use of a
nail, and it is doubtful if a suitable
hail can be secured for the occasion,
DIS ooth the opera houses will be in use
at that time, and there is no other hall.
save possibly one, that could we'll be
utilized.
lnasmuch Dis the conventions date is
aug 80 and will be held during the
progress OF the state fair, st. PauPs ho-
Tel men are not specially anxious to
nave the convention brought to the
Capital city. They will have all their
hotels can care for. and the presence of
an extra thousand men in the city for
day or two will mean only an added
effort to care for them.

I am in favor of giving the conven-
ton to Minneapolis said Daniel All
erie, one of the leading Democrats of

no accommodations for a state conven-
uon this year, but l hope that by an
other two years at least we will be i'm
position to entertain the biggest kind of
convention. There has been some
talk OF holding the convention in one

hall and the legitimate expenses of
the convention were expected from the
city to be selected Minneapolis is ap-
parently candidate for the convention
