new "COPPER"
OUT FOR RECORD
LUMBER JACK HoAxED BY CITY
HALL ..JoSHERs.'
They Made Him Run Three Heats to
Test His Wind, and Then Started
Him Out to Get Sidewalk Spitters
First offender Refused to Come
Along.

Few applicants for positions on the
police force show enthusiasm to equal
that of Victor Melando. a lumber jack,
who asked superintendent Conroy for
a uniform this morning.
Melando, who was partly intoxi-
Gated, was told that vacancies were
scarce and was about to leave the
building in despair when he was taken
In hand. by self-appointed commits
sion of city hall employees. This
commission agreed to see that he got
a place If he was physically sound.
To test his powers he ran three heats
in the corridor Of the basement, each
time lowering his first record by one
second. After that he was measured
by the Bertillon system and received a
certificate declaring him a capable
"bouncer," with the right to question
suspects. If he wanted to make a rep
utation, he was told, he must make an
arrest Immediately. Some one Of
fered a tip that a sidewalk splitter
would be easiest to get and Melando
started on the hunt.
At the corner Of Hennepin and
Washington a teamster spit on the
walk and the prospective copper
collared him, showing his voucher.
The man refused to be arrested or
questioned and pushed Melando off
the curb giving him a bit of choice
advice. The applicant walked away
somewhat crestfallen, but still anxious
for the place, and told his friends he
would move further down street
where the men We're not so big. He
was still looking for spitters this
| afternoon

that the illegal trespass settlements
made by Mr.. Dunn are entirely void

claims that the Buchanan case is not

GARDNER ON THE STAND
Told Story Practically as Outlined b
County Attorney.

Following the examination Of three
witnesses to prove that DR.. Ames was
elected and sworn in as mayor of Min
neapolis, Irwin A. Gardner took the
witness stand and remained there DUR
ing the entire afternoon yesterday.
The witness, who is the states main
dependence, told the story of the
Ames' administration graft essentially
as outlined by the county attorney in
his opening to the jury and as he told
it during the former Ames trial.
Gardner related how he had re-
ceived his orders from the mayor, had
gone out and collected money from
whom was Bessie Lee, the witness
named in the Indictment, and had
turned over the $40 received from her,
together with nearly 5000 more pro
lection money to DR.. Ames. He told
that Norbeck and other officers were
ordered to hunt up the women not
paying graft, and that DR.. Ames paid
the fine Of the Harris woman.
On cross examination r. r. Odell
for the defense failed in any way to
weaken Gardeners testimony, but the
trend Of his questions indicated the
line Of defense would be to throw all
the blame upon Gardner, Brown and
their crowd. ss
did you collect any of the gambling
graft ~ asked Mr. Odell. ETi.6st9

versation." "A
did you not tell Brown that you
had snap Of your own, and that the
old man did not know anything about

was the official custodian of the pawn
shop graft, and that out Of 500 he
(Gardner) collected from a certain
pawnshop he turned $50 over to Dr.
Ames and $50 to Captain Fitchette.
Colonel W. A. Tanner was described
as the collector Of the gambling graft
and the witness swore to paying over
to him a s21 collection from a gamb-
ling house.

So RATE FROM CHICAGO
Chicago Minneapolis Lines Charge So for
Roundtrip,

Chicago Minneapolis Lines Charge So for
Roundtrip.
Chicago, May 6.-Sunday all the rail-
roads will make rate Of SO to the twin
cities and return. The tickets will be
good for return until May 26.
The rate is the result of the rivalry Of
the various lines to Minneapolis to secure
the patronage of about 400 delegates to a
convention of the Wonen's Catholic Or
der Of Foresters, to begin Monday in St
Paul. -.
Little stock is taken in Minneapolis
in the story that the Wisconsin Contra
has put in a 50 roundtrip rate. In fact nc
notice has been given local agents Of that
road of even a So rate to meet that made
by the Milwaukee.
Altho eastbound rates are not affected
it is feared that eventually they also will
become demoralized because of the cu
made for the ST. Paul convention.

Said to Come in Part from Mrs. ].

Hill.
The official announcement by Arch
bishop Ireland that a site has been pur-
chased upon which grand and imposing
cathedral is to be built on the site Of the
iKttson home, st. Paul. has been the topic
of wide discussion in all parts Of the
archdiocese. Archbishop Ireland, in maxi
ing the announcement said that he had
practically abandoned the idea of build-
ing new cathedral until short time ago,
having about made up his mind to SUR
render this heavy task to younger hands.
This leads to the natural inference that
money has been Forthcoming and that the
archbishop has derived material aid from
some source In this connection, a story
has been current for some time that Mrs
j. j. Hill, whose charities and benefcenes
have so, often been extended to worthy
purposes has offered substantial aid. The
amount is variously estimated from
| 81 100000 to $1,500,000.

Wholesale houses in Minneapolis have

of the possible long continued difficulty

is evident that the lake and rail lines ex-

straits open, because agents have init
mated to customers that they would bet
ter hold shipments at initial lake points
a little longer if they want to secure the
low lake and rail rates.
