PIPE STORIES
PLEASE COLLINS
JUDGE is GLAD TO BE ATTACKED
BY HILL PAPER
Says He was Never Better Satisfied
With His Prospects-People Are Be-
coming Acquainted With the Issues
NO String to His Resignation from
the Bench

A yellow political article in the St.
Paul Globe this morning declared that
Judge Collins was about to withdraw
from the contest for governor in favor
of Gov. Van SAINT, and that there was
a string" to his resignation, which
would be recalled.
A j o u IN ! man called the artf-
Gle to Judge Collins attention to-day.
The judge said: az
lit is a matter of great satisfaction
to me to have the Globe, with it's own
ership so well known, continually mis-
representing me, and continually
urging on the people the nomination Of
Dunn. ..... ...
$50 far as I am concerned, was
never better satisfied with the pros
poets than at this moment. I believe
that the people are fast coming to un-
derstand the issues, and if they do,
the result is not at all uncertain.
''The statement that there is a
String to my resignation is as false
as many other things the Globe has
published. When my resignation was
accepted, Mr.. Douglas was appointed
my successor. The commission was
made out, taking effect April /, and he
has it in his possession. Further than
that, If there is one falsehood that is
bigger and more malicious than an
other, 1t is that + lam. about to- with
draw from the contest, 4 I await with
great curiosity the developments of fur
! Their stories along that same line OF
falsehOOd and MISREPRESENTATION"

SEEK SEPARATION.

Sentence and Will Make a Motion
for New Irial--No Appeal Will Be
Taken-U. S. Officer Waited Result
of Trial to Arrest Hazard.

II shall never get a divorce from

witness against him in his trial for

A stay of sentence has been asked
by the defendants attorneys and
granted by Judge Brooks. A motion
for new trial will be made and ar
gued within few days. If this mo-

be no appeal taken, and the prisoner
will accept his fate and go unresist-
ingly to saltwater.

verdict" he said this morning. II
have not talked yet and this is no time
to begin. I will face any charges that
are made against me and will take
what punishment is meted out to me
with the best grace possible"
It is stated that a United States Of
fcer was waiting for the conclusion of
the Hazard trial, and if the defendant
had been acquitted he would promptly
have been arrested on the charge of
ernbezzicment and forgery, alleged to
have been committed while in the
army in connection with the handling
Of government vouchers. When asked
concerning this charge this morning,
Hazard said: well, I would be per-
fectly willing to face any accusation
Of that kind. It Is the first time ever
heard of such thing but in the event
of its being true any claims of this
kind are outlawed long before this

FREIGHT IN A HARD KNOT
EFFECT OF THE BIG FREIGHT
BLOCKADE EAST OF PITTS
BURG is FELT HERE.

The freight congestion between
Pittsburg, Buffalo and New York is
only one of a piece with the discour-
agement which has come to the job
bers and retail dealers of the city.
The cold, snow and ice has so delayed
"in' freight that in some cases mer-
chandise due early in January is still
en- route. Just as the local blockade
and the. results of the Milwaukee
freight-house fire are being unraveled,
comes the announcement that the old
trouble, lack Of power, has tied up IT,
900 loaded cars between these eastern
cities and as many more east of Buff
falo. About one-half the cars are
loaded with eastbound freight and
that affects shipments of oats and
coarse grains from Minneapolis.
Herculean efforts are being made to
break the blockade, but the immense
strain put on the locomotives the last
two months makes them unequal to
anything like the work they could do
in miIder weather.. .....--.

SAYS PLACES MUST CLOSE AND

BLERS SAY ORDER is ONLY
TEMPORARY.

Another antigambling edict went
forth from police headquarters last
night and as result several gambling
houses have been closed. The order
was simply a reiteration of similar
edicts that have emanated from police
headquarters in the past year. Many
Of the gamblers say that it means that
the places must be closed until after
the next session Of the grand jury, but
the text of the order is that they shall
remain closed.
''Well I am sure + don't care" said
a prominent gambler last night to a
reporter after receiving the order. II

ministration began and I am ready to

WARMING-HOUsE GONE
Lake Harriet Residents Have Griev-
81 ance Against the Park Board

Residents Of the Lake Harriet dis
trict have a grievance against the park
board. After long persuasion they fin
ally induced the board to give them q
warming house, which they were to
maintain at their own expense. Even
ing skating was more popular and
after circulating q subscription paper
the Harriet people had a lot Of incan-
descent gasolene lamps ready to flood
their rink with brightness for the first
time last night. In the meantime the
park board had ordered the Kinks
closed and yesterday, unbeknown to
.the Harriet promoters, their warm
ing house was carried away. A move
ment is now on foot to have the house
returned as it's patrons were just in
shape to enjoy it.

not the Hartford, Conn.,, millionaire
who adopted her a few months ago,
but the man of her choice. And the
foster father has relented and said
BLESS you, my children"
Mrs. Wilfred Parsons Weaver, nee
Bardwell, had long been engaged to
her newly acquired husband whom
she had known since childhood. But
known to Byron A. Simmons, the
wealthy Yankee, whose sudden fancy
for her last year caused him to adopt
her and to make her his heiress.
It was one Of the conditions Of the
adoption of Miss Bardwell that she
should not marry during the life, of
her benefactor. Nevertheless her
lover called her and she announced
that she would go to him. Mr.. Sim
mons threatened to disinherit her.
Last Monday husband-to-be came in
the flesh and called for the wedding.
Mr.. Simmons refused his consent.
Deciding for love against worldly
wealth, Miss Bardwell quilted the
Simmons home and with her lover
sped for the union station and New
York. The foster-father, relenting at
the last moment in true melodramatic
style, sped after them in his carriage.
The reconciliation occurred on the sta
ton platform, the wedding followed in
the Simmons mansion and Mr.. Sim
mons with rare tact, withdrew to
New York for the winter, leaving the
happy couple in possession of the
house at sos Asylum avenue.
The husband in the romantic case is
connected with the Central New Eng
land railway and the bride was for

May wheat climbed UP to another new
high point this morning selling to 95Ac.
There was strength from the start and a
lively trade in the Minneapolis pit.
That the foreigners are at last waking
up to the situation is now the argument

markets have held back stubbornly, but
this morning Liverpool London, Antwerp,

predict a further rise if wheat continues
strong. Late to-day sales were made to
