JOE COHEN s TESTIMONY
HELD TO BE ADMISSIBLE
Fred Ames Has Been in Jail Two
Days Without a Call From
His Brother.

Judge Kerr for the state in the A. A.
Ames trial this morning. Ida Eaton,
a hitherto unexpected witness, gave
evidence that tends to draw more tight.

the states case.
The Eaton woman, tho an unwilling

she was ordered by Gardner to move:
She appealed to DR.. Ames; He told
her that she would have to " fix it up'
with the man who had come to her
and that he would send man to see
her. She says that on the day follow
ing the interview she was visited by
Gardner; that she pleaded poverty and
sent him away without any money, and
that a few days later she was arrested.
Judge Harrison s admission of Joseph
Cohen s testimony and that of the
women who paid money to him after he
succeeded Gardner as graft collector,
marked milestones in the states prog
ress toward complete case.
The admission Of the Cohen evidence
permits the most complete expose of
the whole nefarious system given the
public. Cohen has already testified that
he succeeded Gardner as collector of
money from the women and has iden-

Washington, Oct, 15.-It developed
yesterday that pouch containing mail

aboard the steamer Calchas when that

Vladivostok squadron, was opened while
in the possession Of the Russian off.

This information came to the post
office department today in communi-
cation from the Japanese postal admin

always followed when there has been
any mishap in. the delivery Of mail
pouches.
The affair will be referred to the state
department. for action, as was done with
the case Of the ordinary United States
mail on the vessel at the time she was
seized. This latest phase Of the seizure
Of the Calchas mails has caused a pain
full surprise in official circles, and if the
act of opening the pouch addressed to
the Cincinnati was Willingly done, the
probability is that q strong protest will
be lodged with the Russian government.
It is said at the navy department that
the mail pouch referred to did not con
tain any official communications, sim
ply mail for the men aboard the ship.

ditions existing, which are said to be
worse that those in Norbotten two
years ago. In fact, the famine is more
severe than any that has afflicted the
country since 1926.
The government has refused to grant
reduced freight rates to the district and
the agricultural society has raised ST.,

additional sum must be raised speedily

now lies idle in The Norbotten treasury
will be used to allay the distress in
