After pleading guilty to a charge of
petit larceny and being sentenced to
ninety days in the workhouse, Thomas

clared that they were innocent and
that they had been :.fkangarooed."
They were then taken before Judge
Hine and he asked them whether they
had not voluntarily pleaded guilty. He
reminded them that when they were
first arraigned before him he told them
that they should not plead guilty un-
less they We're perfectly willing to do
SO. They hesitated for some time and
then withdrew their pleas of guilty.
The sentence was accordingly re-
voked. and the county attorney will

PLEASED WITH CODE
Probate Judges Praise Work of
Revision Board

The executive committee of the Min
nesota Association of Probate Judges
met Yesterday in the Office Of Probate
Judge Bazille and considered the codl-
fication of the probate laws as SUD
mitted by the statute revision commit
tee.
All present joined in saying after the
evening adjournment that the result
of the labors of the revision commits
sion had proven most satisfactory,
the laws being simplified in detail and
kindred matters treated together in
such manner that is possible to OBJ
tain a correct idea of the meaning al
most at a glance.
$50 far as we have examined the
probate code as revised we have been
highly pleased said Judge Wilson, of
Washington county, chairman of the
committee. I'm all possible ways the
probate court practice has been SIM
pliffed and put on a more modern
basis. If the code is adopted by the
legislature and thereby becomes a law,
administrators, guardians, ETC., will be-
come in a legal sense representatives
of an estate, instead of it being neceS-
sary to designate their exact title in
each instance This will be particular
ly useful in the sale of real estate be-
longing to minors, deceased and incom-
petent persons. Throughout we were
delighted with the code, and as a body
tender our compliments to the MEM
bers of the revision committee. We
will continue the consideration until
the entire code applying to probate
courts is gone over"
Other members of the committee
who were present were Judge Frank
enberg, of Otter Tail county; Judge
Callahan, of Todd county; Judge Ed
wards, of Swift county; Judge Taft, of
Mcleod county, and Judge MiddIecof.
of st. Louis county.

COAL COMPANY SUED
FOR ALLEGED DELAY
Plaintiff Charges Failure to Fulfill De-
: livery Contract

Worren Clarkson yesterday brought
suit in the district court for $4,000
against the ]. E. Kelly Coal company,
claiming that he was damaged to the
amount mentioned by the refusal of
the Kelly company to carry out its
contract with him to deliver to him
from 10000 to 10000 tons of coal.
Clarkson alleges that he entered into
a contract with the company through
H. A. Van Aulken, a regularly author
lied agent of the company, whereby he
was to pay $3.50 ton for New River
egg coal, free on board at the mines.
The amount to be taken was not to be
less than 10000 tons and not more
than 10000 tons. When an order was
placed for the first delivery it is al
legged that the company sent notice
that it would ship at once, but plaintiff
asserts that he did not get any of the
coal, with the result that he was dam
aged $4,000.

METROPOLITAN ENDS
ITS FOURTEENTH YEAR
Its Anniversary Tonight VIII Witness
First Presentation of New Play

Last night saw the end Of the four
teenth year of the Metropolitan opera
house in this city. Tonight the new
year commences for this playhouse,
and although the occasion will not be
marked with a souvenir distribution it
is proposed to make it quite an event
Of the season. Robert Edeson will
present "Strongheart, a new play for
the occasion.
L. N. Scott, of the theater, recounted
some of the history Of the house and
said:
'The theater was opened fourteen
year ago with the Bostonians in Robin
Hood The cast was practically the
original company which lent so much
fame to that organization. Jessie
Bartlett Davis, Camille dAryille,
Barnabee, Karl, Macdonald, Frothing-
ham and the rest were there and the
business was more than fair. Since
then I believe the people of st. Paul
will join with me in saying that the
house has done its best to furnish the
highest class of theatrical amusement
possible under the circumstances.
Il would call attention to the fact
that in spite of the terrific disasters,
such as the Iroquois fire and other
misfortunes of a lesser nature, no rule
has ever been passed by a city council
in any town even under the stress of
horror caused by those accidents that
would interfere with the performances
at the Metropolitan. This means that
the builders foresaw the times and pro-
vided against accident as far as skill
and judgment in construction could
foresee."
Mr.. Scott said that on the occasion
of the fifteenth anniversary a suitable
permanent souvenir would be pre-
pared.

no crime has been committed. Mr..

Minnesota National Guard associa-

Minnesota National Guard associa-
ton.
The association yesterday went on
record as favoring the acquisition of
Camp Douglas, Wisconsin, for joint
maneuvers between the militia of the
states and the regulars of the war de-
partment; the increase by congress of
the appropriation to the militia from
one to two million dollars; free am
munition to the national guard, and
providing for the use of penalty en-
velopeS by officers of the national
guard.
A resolution introduced by Capt M.
]. Wiley, of ST. Paul, favors legislation
that will permit county commissioners
to issue bonds in aid of armory build
ings. 1t was passed on the showing
that one county in the state is ready to
take affirmative action if the necessary
legislation can be secured.
Capt. p. w. Walton, of Minneapolis,
fathered a movement to recommend to
the adjutdnt general the abolition of
competitive markings. 1t was urged
that the markings system engendered
feeling between the companies of the
national guard, without compensating
advantages of military perfection.
Col. William Gerlaeh, inspector gen.
eral for Minnesota, spoke in favor of
action abolishing the markings, and 1t
| was carried without serious dissent.
Col G. A. Van Duzee of st. Paul.
urged the necessity of some form of
compensation for the enlisted man as
stimulus to his attendance upon
drill. The suggestion aroused a hot
debate, but the general proposition
that the adjutant general be urged to
take some steps to secure compensa-
tion for enlisted men at drill, camp and
guard duty was carried by an over
whelming vote 1t was said that a
majority of those voting against the
! proposal were officers of the First regi-
ment.

New Trial Denied utman

Judge Bum yesterday declined to
give plaintiff new trial in the case Of
George Utman against the Northern
Pacific. Utman sued for $4,000, and
was given judgment for 81. The court
holds that the contention of plaintiff
that the jury should have been in
structed as to punitive or exemplary
damages is not well grounded, and that
so far as actual damages is concerned
the verdict grants sufficient compensa-
ton.

While l presented my views at the

Importance of this question impels
me to refer to it again. The issue
is oftentimes referred to as Constitu-

If we would retain our liberties
and constitutional rights unimpaire1,
we cannot permit or tolerate, at any
time or for any purpose, the arrOga-
tion of unconstitutional powers by

The magnitude of the country and
its diversity of interests and popula-

the usurpation of authority and the
aggrandizement of personal power
before the situation could be fully
