KING MAY TESTIFY
FOR DR.A.A.AMES
EX-POLICE CAPTAIN MAY BE OF
SERVICE no DEFENSE.
Trial Promises to Be Long-One Of
Ames' Attorneys Says Defense Will
Prevent Selection Of jury Case
Comes On for Trial Monday, June Is.

Norm" King, a captain on the
Ames police force, now serving time in
the penitentiary on account of his con-
nection with the graft" which -four
ished under Arnes, may appear as a
witness for his former chief in the
trial which will be taken up by Judge
G. B. Elliott June Is.
Just what the former captain could
tell of benefit to DR.. Ames is not given
out. The Ames attorneys believe that
he can help the defense, If he will, and
one Of them to-day went to Saltwater
to ask King to be witness.
The defense will be, as It was in the
blame of the graft upon Gardner,
Brown, Fitchette, Tanner and Others
Along this line 1t Is intimated that
King might prove valuable.
That the trial will be taken up
June 10 is practically certain. Why,
1t will take six months to get a jury"
said R. r.. Odell, one Of the Ames
tried any tricks yet; we let the state
pick the last jury and they couldn't
get conviction, and this time we are
going to get into the game ourselves.
What course do you intend to pur-
sue in the selection Of a Jury"
well, we will keep them from get
ting jury. That's what Wen do"
Il eiA4s AS LAC A1SSiIioiA VI 1At IiAS uS-
PENDANTS attorneys it is a foregone
conclusion that the trial will be long.
Every intelligent man in Hennepin
county has read something about the
Ames bribery case and very few have
failed to form some opinion. All
either side will have to do in order
to have venireman excused will be
to show this condition Of mind, and
If they want to make it so, the selec-
| ton of a jury may be made next to
impossible.

LOW RATES MADE
FOR NEXT MONDAY
Milwaukee Follows 500 in Making
Rates for Liberty Bell
Day.

High railway rates will be no ex-
cuse for any man in Minnesota who
fails to bring his wife, children and
relatives to Minneapolis to see the
Liberty Bell next Monday. In addition
to a sight of the famous relic, the
railroads have added attraction to the
occasion by setting dates which make
it possible to spend three days in the
twin cities. .ut
The 500 has made a rate Of one fare
for the round trip from points on its
system, on sale June 9-5 and good
returning not later than June 6, and
to-day the Milwaukee announces that
it will sell tickets within radius Of
100 miles at one fare for the round
trip plus so cents. These tickets will
be on sale June s and 6, and good for
returning June 81. Other lines are
expected to make the rate which will
bring the opportunity for every man,
woman and child in the state to be-
come inoculated with a good dose of
enthusiasm thru sight of the famous
old bell from Independence hall in
PHILADELPHIA. b.

TO PLACE PARK AY.
UNDER PARK BOARD
RESIDENTS WISH TO BAR HEAVY
TRAFFIC VEHICLES.
The Thorofare Is Not Territorial
Road and Those Behind the Move
ment Believe the Traffic Can Be
4 Legally Restricted Portland Az
enue Residents Pondering.

Park avenue desires to have that
famous thorofare included in the park
system of the city and made into a
parkway In fact as well as In name.
Park commissioners and aldermen are
being approached on the subject Of
transferring the street to the control Of
the park board and in a short time
the matter will be formally preached
to the city council and the park board.
An informal meeting will be held this
evening at one of the clubs. where
Park avenue residents and park COM
eral proposition. Those attending will
be the guests Of Frank Heffelhnger,
who Is greatly interested in the move
ment.
The main purpose in having Park
avenue made q parkway is to exclude
traffic wagons from this handsome av-
enue. Under present conditions drtv-
ers will go blocks out of their way in
order to make use Of the asphalt paw
ing on Park avenue and the result Is
that the travel on this street at times
resembles that Of the wholesale or
milling district and when two or three
|sociable teamsters drive abreast, as
they often do, the avenue is blocked
for anyone moving faster than a walk.
It is believed that Park avenue can
become legal parkway subject to
the rules of the park board. Unlike
Hennepin avenue it is not an old terri
torial road and the chances are that an
attempt to exclude certain forms Of
traffic from the street would be sus-
tanned in court.
The report Of the Park avenue
movement is filling the residents along
Portland avenue with alarm and they
are taking counsel among themselves
as to what shall be done. If heavy
traffic Is excluded from Park avenue,
it will naturally divert to Portland
avenue, which owing to the activity of
the Portland Avenue Improvement as
sociation is one Of the finest dirt
streets in the city. In fact many peo-
pie prefer Portland avenue to Park
avenue for driving purposes. But
heavy teaming in Portland avenue
would cut that beautiful roadway all
to pieces and render 1t quite unde-
sirable as compared with it's present
popularity. Residents along Portland
avenue do not wish to place them
selves in opposition to the park con-
troll of the neighboring avenue, but
demand that their street must be pro-
tected in some way. AS far as they
can see there is no other way thar
to include Park and Portland avenues
in the same plan.

TRIED TO BE HIS
OWN DETECTIVE
Experiment Resulted in Landing
James Simpson in Work
house for Ten Days.

James Simpson, Canadian farmer,
will serve ten days in the workhouse
because he wanted to act as his own
swindler. Simpson told the police
yesterday that he had been cheated in
a Washington avenue restaurant. He
ordered pork chops and they said they
had none. He gave waiter a dollar
to go to the meat market, but the
young mans didn't come back, tho
James waited nearly an hour. The
police told him to go to the city at
torney and get a warrant, but he met
with no success, and last night after
filling up on Washington avenue whts-
ky, he went to the restaurant and de-
nanded the money. The manager
didn't recognize him and called a po-
liceman, who locked him UP on a
charge of drunkenness.
Simpson told an officer this morn
ing that he would get his dollar back
If he had to serve a dozen sentences
in the Workhouse.

North High Graduates Entertained In
School Auditorium.
The graduating class Of the North Side
High school, numbering about ffty-flve.
held their class day exercises In the school
auditorium this morning and won appre-
ciative applause for the clever stories told
between the numbers, as well as with the
solo numbers. The young men especially
were apt in vaudeville.
Worthy of particular mention was Guy
Allen, who gave a song full of local hits,
accompanied by a clever dance. The trio,
Politely" sung by the president treas
urer and secretary Of the class, H. Clou-
tier, S. Cohen and j. Wingate, was Of
unusually pungent quality. Emma Cross
gave the prophecy, with Ina McAllister,
Rose Mcclellan the poem and the class
song was composed by Louise Hickey. The
last number was a double sextet sung by
Misses Schreyer, Oswald, Carr, Ellis,
Trough and Doyle, Messrs. Cloutier,
Cohen, Wingate. Mortimer, Barrett and
Allen. The girls wore suits Of white
duck and picture hats Of green, while
the costumes of the boys also showed the
class colors. The twelve gave a charm
ing shepherd dance. Miss Alice Angst, as
chairman Of the class day committee, de-
serves especial credit.
