.AMES' DECISION
DUE THIS WEEK
BELIEF GROWING THAT 1T WILL
BE REVERSAL.
The Understanding Is That the For
mer Mayor Will Be Granted New
Trial Because of Too Much Proof
Under the Omnibus Indictment.

The supreme court is expected to
hand down a decision in the case of
DR.. A. "A. Ames next Friday. 'Attor-
neys for the state and the defense I'M
derstand that the fateful document
will be filed at that time and the
opinion is now pretty we'll settled that
the. former mayor will get new trial.
Fatal error. in the opinion of attor-
neys who watched the case and noted
the attitude Of the supreme court at
the argument, was made when the
prosecution introduced evidence of a
number of separate acts Of bribery.
The omnibus Indictment was valid,
and would have been sustained against
demurrer, but to prove DR.. Ames
guilty under the indictment it was
only necessary to prove one specific
case of bribery. When the court adj
mitted evidence of a number Of such
criminal acts, it. is believed to have
constituted error prejudicial to the de-
PENDANT.
On these grounds, it is believed, the
court will grant a new trial. The in
dictment Will still hold good, and the
state could bring 1t to. trial again at
any time, combining it's evidence to
some one offense instead of the whole
scheme f.sI --.. sgi

DOWNING THE CIGARETTE
ING CREATED AT CENTRAL
HIGH SCHOOI-IMPROV
LEAGUES CRITICISM.

Sentiment against cigarette smoking
is being created with a cOnsidera bic
degree Of success at the Central high
school. Professor j: N. Greer, prin-
cipal of the school, to-day said that he
realized that there was some cigarette
smoking among the. boys of the school,
but not more than would be found
among like number of boys gathered
under other like circumstances. The
boys of the Central high school are at
the age when habits such as smoking
are likely to be acquired, and if Cen
trail high boys smoke, it is because of
that fact. The professor says there is
cites, except by personal efforts to
create a sentiment against the habit.
This he has been trying to do for
years, aided by the schools corps of
teachers, and he believes these efforts
are meeting with a measure Of sue
cess. -
The evil was discussed at the meet
ing of the Minneapolis Improvement
league at the courthouse yesterday af-
ternoOn. The, subject was introduced
by Mines. J. K. Hosmer and J. r. Gar
land, in the educational report, and
they spoke Of the growth of the evil
among the children, many of whom
learn to smoke before they enter the
schools. The boys of the Central high
school were especially censured. Mrs.
T.. f. Quinby was elected to take the
place of Mrs. Hayes on the civic com
mittee., Mrs. c.. M. Loring, first vice
president. presided and gave a re-
sumo of the work of the league. ~;

GRAIN MEN DIDN'T BITE
WE'RE SUSPICIOUS OF TELE-
T GRAPHIC ORDERS TO BUY
WHEAT ON PROMISES TO SET
Tie UP LATER.

The well-known local grain houses
of Poehler & Co. and e. L. Welch &
CO. have posted notices at the Cham
Der Of Commerce warning the grain
trade against a clever swindler now
operating in the snorthWest. Andrew
Peterson and Peter Simonds are two
names used by the man, who repre-
isents himself as a traveller covering
southern Minnesota and Iowa. His
scheme is to send in an order to buy
wheat futures for his personal account.
The order to buy five or ten May
wheat is usually accompanied by the
information that the purchaser will be
in town the next morning, that, he
would like his order filed at the OPEN
ing Of the market and that he will call
in at noon and deposit the necessary
margin. to protect the trade.
The scheme mot new, but it is a
long time since any, one has tried to
operate it. The recent activity in the
wheat market with quick changes of
gested the possibility of successful
Surprising a grain firm to have filed
the order when received and that the
market has since advanced. Mr..
Simonds or Peterson would have a
profit and would, very likely show up
smiling. Had the market declined he
would not show up sS.:s~..S.
The firms named above were too
old in the grain trade to be caught,
and poor judgment. as shown in Sc
lecting them for victims.
-. A straight. order to- sell 10000 BUSH
els May wheat came to Poehler &
Co., but they suspected that all was
not right; it was not filed, which was
a very good thing, for. the market, soon
after: advanced sharply and the I'M
known plunger has not been around
with any margins up to this time.
