Special to The Globe
NEW sULM, Minn., Dec. 3.-Attorney
George M. gPopham, the Chicago law
yer retained by the Gebhardt family to
assist in ferreting out the murderer of
DR.. Louis A. Gebhardt has arrived in
the city and was in secret conference
with the members of the citizens COM
nlittee during the greater portion of
the morning and this afternoon as
sisted in the examination of more wit
nesses. Up to the present time about
twenty persons have been exam
ined.
No arrests are expected to be made
until the fore part of next week, as it
will take the committee that long to
finish with the examination of the wit
nesses. The sentiment prevalent
throughout the city and the surround
ing country is that DR.. G. r. Koch
should be arrested and either be proved
guilty or have his innocence estab-
lished
Certain facts regarding the recent
secret meeting of the citizens commit

ing the residents of this city to sus-
pect that the county attorney has been
delaying matters rather than further
ing the prosecution. This joint meet
ing was held to ascertain upon what
lines the county was prosecuting the
search for the murderer.
The committee questioned the coun-
tvs representatives concerning the evi-
dence they had on hand and were
thunderstruck when the county attor-
ney informed them that there had
been sufficient evidence all along to
make an arrest. With one breath the
committee demanded why an arrest
had not been made. Hoidale stated
that it was not one of the duties of
his office to arrest persons for crime
nor to be the complainant, but to sim
ply issue the warrant if it was de-
sired.
Such a statement from the county
attorney staggered the committee. 1t
asked if he would not step down and
out of the office and allow some one
to be appointed who would prosecute
the case as it should be- He refused,
but stated that as soon as warrant
was desired for an arrest he would
vacate Both Detectives Rydell and
Chandler, of st. Paul, have made the
statement that all the evidence that
was necessary to secure an arrest had
been obtained.

divorce, refused to allow him to ac-
company her home from work tonight,
Louis Haxer, aged thirty-five years,

the back of the shoulder and passing
out through the breast. Miss Tina

shot through the chin. Within half an
hour after the two women. were shot
Patrolman Peter Redmond, in at
tempting to arrest Haxer, was shot

dangerously, when he ran to the
wounded officers assistance.
Notwithstanding his wound, which
is likely to prove fatal, Patrolman
Redmond, assisted by Patrolman Her
man Schnabel, succeeded in placing
Haxer under arrest. The Haxers had
been married six years, but separated
two years age. When Haxer began
shooting his wife saved herself by
dropping behind the bakery counter.

ran towards a back door, Haxer mis-
taking the fleeing woman for his wife.

LONDON, Dee. 3.-The Russian
Baltic feet is moving east in four sec
tions, three of which have already left
the Baltic. The first section, under
Admiral Rojestvensky, consists of five
battleships and four cruisers, with col
liers and storeships. It is moving via
the Cape of Good Hope and is proceed
ing either to Diego Smaroz, a French
port in Madagascar, or to Bourbon and
Chagos islands. The nearest port IS
$500 miles, and the furthest 1856.
The second section, under Admiral
Folkerson, consists of two battleships,
four cruisers, seven destroyers and
several transports, and is proceeding
via the Suez canal. 1t is probably
bound for the French port of Obok,
where it will coal and proceed to
Chagos. Chagos belongs to England.
The Russians regard England as not
counting, so they may violate neutral
fly. These two sections should concen-
trate at Chagos by Jan 4.
Section consists of two cruisers,
several armed steamers and torpedo
boats and is also proceeding Wit the

dian ocean, which will be reached, if no
accident happens. also by Jan. 4.
The fourth section consists of one
new and two old battleships and sew
eraI armed steamers. It will start in
April, being possibly reinforced from
the Black sea by seven battleships.
This section cannot arrive at its desti-
nation before June.
There is no gainsaying that this is a
formidable force when combined, and
probably much superior in material to
what is now left of the japanese fleet:
but the inferiority of the Baltic fleet
lies in the moral qualities, shooting
and maneuvering. which have no
comparison to the japanese. After
leaving the Indian ocean the first three
sections viii probably steer for Saigon,
q French port, thence either for Kiao-
chou or islets off the west coast of
Japan, finally approaching Vladivos-
tok unless intercepted by the Japanese.

MEETS A WOLF PACK
Minneapolis Woodsman Has a
Frlgh}ful Experience

Special to The Globe
DULUTH, Mimi, Dec. 3.-Alone in
the woods for two nights, with both
feet and one hand frozen and sur
rounded by pack of lf-famished
wolves, Sever Peterson, woodsman
whose home is in Minneapolis, has
Just passed through most narrowing
experience in the vicinity of Northome.
Peterson, who is a cruiser, started
from a lumber camp near Beaudette
Monday morning to walk to the rail-
road at Northome. He made thirty
miles that day, waiting until after
dark to pitch camp. He carried his
matches in a tin tobacco box in the
pocket of his mackinaw, which while
chopping wood for fire he removed and
laid on the ground. While engaged
at this work he noticed a timber wolf

wolf was Joined by another. and then
another until pack of between twelve
and fifteen surrounded the man.
Peterson had no rife, but he carried
a revolver. which he emptied into the
pack. slowly retreating as he did so.
The wolves paid no heed to the sound
of the pistol or to the bullets, although
more than one of the latter lodged in
their bodies. When the man started to
get his coat. in the pockets of which
were his matches and extra cartridges
for his. revolver, the pack closed in on
him. forcing him to take refuge in the
branches of a tree. He remained there

his mackinaw and found that it had
been torn to shreds by the pack. The
tobae o box containing the matches
was missing and but one or two car :
tlidges could be found on the surface of
the snow. What food he had brought
along for the journey had been de-
voured by the wolves. All that day
he was tracked by the pack, and the
following night was again spent in the
branches of tree. The next day Pc
terson reached Northome, too exhaust
ed to do more than crawl. Both feet
were frozen and his right hand was
useless from the cold.

PORTLAND, Or, Dec. 3.-Prolific in
surprises as have been the develop
ments in the land fraud cases. no one
was prepared for the clmaxes Of to-
day. Frank Walgamot, defendant,
through his attorney, asked for leave
to withdraw his plea of mot guilty.
and be allowed to plead guilty to the
crime of conspiracy as charged. Judge
Bellinger. took the matter under ad-
visement. Almost equally unexpected
was the request on the part Of the spe-
cial prosecutor, Francis J. Heney, that
an order of acqufttal be issued in the
case Of Marie L. Ware, on the ground
that the prosecution did not believe
that she had been proved guilty of aid
ing the alleged conspiracy.
OF hardly less surprise was the an
nouncement, not more than twenty
minutes after the government had con-
cluded its case, by the defense that it
rested and the case was ready for
counsel.

Special Cable to The Globe
ROME. Dec. 3.-The refusal of the
I French parliamentary commission this
week to adopt Conabes' bill separating
church and state for presentation to
parliament has caused great rejoicing
at the Vatican. Many here attribute
the defeat of the measure to the. inn
preston made in France by the pope's
speech in the last consistory about the
relations of the French government
with the Vatican.
AS soon as separation of church and
state becomes an actual fact, it is the
firm intention of the pope to fill all
vacancies in dioceses in France re-
gardless of the wishes of French OFF,
cials and instruct the French clergy to,
refuse to submit to any law proposed
by the French government for the reg
ulation of religious worship.

ANOKA, Mimi. Dec. 3.-Orlin Kali
derwit, Charles Hammond and John
Kolb, the three young men suspected of
being the guilty men in the Columbia
Heights robbery and murder, were this
afternoon bound over to the grand jury,
without bail, by Municipal Judge Fred
S. Stewart. Later in the day, Ham
mond and Kolb were taken to Minne-
apolis, where they were lodged in the
Hennepin county jail, and Kalderwit to
ST. Paul, where he was turned over to
Sheriff Justus.
The state made out sufficiently
strong case on the first day of the pre-
liminary hearing to hold the suspects,
and it was an understood fact that the
attorneys for both sides had agreed to
have the men bound over to the grand
jury to await the March term of the

put on more witnesses today, but they
were not the strong ones who are ex-
pected to make conviction certainty
when the men appear to answer the
charge of murder.

victed of murder in the first degree on
the evidence submitted thus far. What

either of the detectives on the stand.
1t is also understood that several
other witnesses, whose names are kept
secret, will appear, among them the
foreman of a driving gang in which
Kalderwit was formerly employed, who
can give some interesting facts regard
ing the habits and life Of the young
man.
One of the strongest points in favor
of Kalderwit, however, was not brought
out during the hearing, but was told to

This latest stockmarket bloom has been
 notable for the correctness of inspired
 tips which find circulation in the Wall Street district. There has been a very
 generous distribution of gratuitous in formation as to further market action.
 Tipsters ran from office to office conf1- dently announcing that this stock or that stock would have a 1, 2 3 or 4 point rise within certain named limits as to time and that the value O. business would approximate a specified number of others. Times almost without number these tips turned out to be true and 1t thus happened that ere long a multitude of traders learned to act blindly on this sort of so-called news. Latterly, how ever, some of the tips have been going wrong and they are now followed with less avioity than formerly. Steel for in- stance was a favorite with the tipsters who seemed to have an inside line on the intentions of the manipulators. The same was conspicuously true of Union Pacific Reading.
