DISCREPANCIES
THOMAS SHEVLIN CROSS-ExAM-
INED BY MIR. JACKSON.
Says Later Testimony Recalled to
Mind Many Incidents of Stock
Transfer Which He Had Forgotten
-Hovey G. Clarke Sworn as a Wit

Hovey c. Clarke, partner in the
Sheylin- Carpenter Lumber company
and stakeholder of the Crookston and
the st. Hilaire Lumber companies
was sworn as a witness for the de-
tense in the Shevlin VS.. Shevlin case
just before adjournment today. He
witnessed the transfer Of the stock
transaction which has brought the
brothers Shevlin into court.
The morning was taken up by Mr..
jackson in cross-examining Thomas
Shevlin. Mr.. Jackson found several
discrepancies between the testimony
given F-Hlay and today, when com
pared WIN that given when Mr.. Shev-
lin was on the stand week or more
ago. The witness explained that he
was unable to recall all of the details
of deals between himself and his
brother made over four years ago. but
as one event and another had re-
ffreshed his memory, he desired to
the former evidence corrected.
Mr.. Shevlin insisted that the reason
he was so anxious to purchase his
brothers share was because he did
not consider it right that he should
have the burden of managing the
business while his brother was travel

think it would have been right for
you to travel about the country leav-

your brother?"
Il don't consider that parallel
case" replied the witness.
When my brother entered, the
business he did not buy any stock. I
sold him his holdings and took his

understood that he was to manage the

FOUND CORN IN
GOOD CONDITION.
EDWIN HAWLEY. AND Il. II. DAY
REPORT AFTER INSPECTION.
They Say the Southerly Portion Of
the Territory Tributary to the Iowa
Central and the Minneapolis s. st.
Louis Shows Good Promise-Roads
Prepared to Handle Crops.

An inspection by high officials just
finished has shown the Minneapolis
& st. Louis and the Iowa Central
the two Hawley roads-to be in good
shape. Edwin Hawley has just COM
pleted an investigation Of his new
property, the Des Moines & Fort
Dodge, and for the first time in two
or three years has taken a run over
the st. Louis and Central roads, of
which he is president. 9
Mr.. Hawley was accompanied by
his business partner, r. H. Davis,
treasurer Of the st. Louis and vice
president and treasurer Of the Cen
trail; Vice President and General
Manager L. F. Day, and Chief Engi-
neer II. C. Kelley. General Superin-
tendent Michael Sweeney spent Sat-
urday with the party going over the
southwestern division and the new
line.
Mr.. Day said today that the physi-
cal condition of the roads and the
crop outlook on the whole was the
best 1t has been for years. He said:
The Illinois crop prospect is ex-
cellent. The southern Iowa prospect
is just as good. And by that I mean
at least tWo-thirds of the state. North
ern Iowa and southern Minnesota
have had too much rain and too much
cold weather, and the crop is very
backward. Corn has a good color,
but 1t is small and in some parts it is
not very clean. A great many fields
seem to have been too wet to cult
vate. Small. grains look good every
where, and the last two or three days
have helped corn amazingly, the first
real corn weather we have had.
I think the prospects for the road
are better than for, the last two years.
We are in fine shape to handle the
crop. Our road is in a better physical
condition than ever. We have ample
motive power in perfect condition, and
we have bought a lot of box cars for
August and September delivery. We
have no uneasiness about handling
all the crop we get"

A LOSING VENTURE
NO Profits from Park Band Concerto
Board to Discuss 1t.

Money is lost by the park board
every time the Minneapolis park band
gives concert at Lake Harriet, and
the reasons will be discussed at a
meeting Of the board this evenine
The board can hardly discontinue
the concerts, as it has entered into
an agreement to employ the band for
a stipulated series, but the commits
sioners would like to see the con-
certs pay expenses. The loss is not
great, Of course, and if the increased
boat rentals are taken into considera-
ton, there is little loss
From an artistic standpoint the mu-
sic is all that patrons can desire. In
fact, only satisfaction has been ex-
pressed, and there is a feeling that,
under the circumstances, the board
should be satisfied with the results,
even If 1t did not make big profits.

for chief judge of the court of ap-
peals and was elected by a large
majority.

Schoonmaker, and two children
have been born to them, John and
