Duty of the Hour.
In view of the work thus Inaugural
ted. it is to be hoped that democrats
throughout the city viii respond
readily to the call to duty and neg
lect no effort, not only in securing a
distinct anti-Looney delegation to the
city-townshfp convention, but ward
commit teeInen who viii resist his
domination. but VIII pledge both del
egates and committeeman To under no
circumstances yield proxies that may
fall into Mr. LoCney's hands.
The evidence that has been furnish
ed of late to all democrats who were
willing to observe, Mr.. LoOney's al
lance with the municipal wing of the
republican party has served to
strengthen the determination of all
right-minded members of the party
that the time is not only at hand, but
was never more prcpitious to rid the
party of this disturbing and disrupt
ing element And this is what will be
done next Thursday.

DENIED SIGNING MORTGAGE

Soloman Eckberg, the only man by
that name to be found in Minneapolis,
was brought from the county poor
farm to-day to testify in a forgery
case in police court against his former
employer, Robert Berglund, and his
business associates, Peter Scholl and
John Bosky.
The men were accused of forging
the name Of Soloman Eckberg to a
mortgage calling for a payment of
1910 and giving it to Moses Price In
exchange for other property rights.
The mortgage was on Minnetonka
property, and was duly signed Eek
berg Eckberg appeared in court
and testified that he had lived at the
poor-farm for eight years and never
owned property at Minnetonka- Thir-
teen years ago he worked for Berg
lund and became involved in a prop
erty deal with Berglund. in which he
was to stand responsible for any loss

DOESN'T
HAVE TO GO BACK
Escaped Asylum Inmate, Who
Wanted to See Roosevelt,
Was Discharged. :

Z
Peter O. Elliott, the Minneapolis in
ventor who tried to force an audi
ence with President Roosevelt and
was afterwards adjudged insane and
sent to 5, the st. Peter asylum,
from which he soon afterward es-
capped, is in the city.
Elliott, tho an escaped inmate, can
not be arrested and sent back to the
asylum unless he becomes dangerous,
information is filed against him. and
he receives another examination by
the county authorities. This is due
to the fact that he has been dis
charged by the asylum authorities
Elliott escaped on the night Of
Nov. 10. No trace of him could be
discovered and May 10 notice was sent
to the Hennepin county probate court
that the Minneapolis man had been
discharged, unimproved." The
process Of reasoning employed by the
state officials, by which the conclusion
that an insane man committed to their
charge who had escaped was regularly
discharged, is a mystery to the local
officials, but the fact remains that Eli
lfott cannot be taken back without
another examination.

Excelsior Village Infested with Gangs
of Insolent Toughs, Who Keep
Women of Place in Terror--W Wom-
an Threatens One with Revolver
to Drive Him Away.

The tramp problem is becoming
extremely serious at Excelsior. Bands
Of men have been camping on the
outskirts of the village and have in
tested the village itself, causing ter
ror to the feminine population.
One approached the residence of
Frank Palmer Thursday evening and
was driven away only when threat
ened by Mrs. Palmer with a revolver.
Mrs. Palmer saw the man coming
and locked all the doors. The man
knocked loudly and persistently. Mrs.
Palmer ventured to ask what he
wanted. He replied that he wanted
to get in. This frightened Mrs.
Palmer and she got revolver, and,
going to the door, told the intruder
to leave, at the, same time cooking
heard outside. The ominous sound
had the desired effect an dthe tramp
went away muttering.
Another tramp went to the resi-
dence5 of L. B. Newell and tried to
gain entrance by the rear door, but
was finally driven away by the serv-
ant. =
Constable Powers decided to act and
arrested tramps found in the village
limits and locked them up. Twelve
were routed out of an ice house on
the lake front last evening.
The officer also made visit to a
camp just across the village line,
where he found a score Of roughs had
gathered about a camp fire. His order
to them to get ou! was laughed at.
The officer gave them an hour in
which to leave the place. At the ex-
piration Of that time he found the
gang still there. He was informed by
the leader that they had no intention
Of leaving until they were ready
Powers started to rout the gang
which at once showed fight. They
had not taken into account, however
a reserve force. This was the ''as-
sistant chief of police" the officers
dog, which attacked the tramps right
and left. With his assistance Powers
soon had the gang going.
The village authorities are consider.
ing the advisability of putting tramps
| to work on the streets.
| One Of the tranps being asked
what caused so many tramps this sea
son, said that their most easy method
of finding food had been taken ava,
from them in Minneapolis when thu
city council barred the free lunch.

New Charge Against Freeman P. Lane In
DIsbarment Proceedings.

Amended charges in disbarment pro-

Minneapolis have been filed by Eli South
worth, secretary Of the state board Of
law examiners. BY order of the supreme
court, Mr. Southworth is allowed to add

Ada Hubbell with the understanding that
she should not appear as witness against
Edward Leland, who was accused of brib-
ing John Roberts and Patrick Cunning
ham, two state prison guards, to assist
Leland and his fellows to escape. Mr..
Lane appeared as Leland's attorney, and
it is alleged that he went to the Hub
bell woman, who was in Jail, gave her
money, induced her to escape and after
ward sent her $50 more to enable her
to remain in hiding Leland was never
brought to trial, as the woman's testi-
mony was absolutely essential to con
viction.
