WILL MANEUVER
WITH REGULARS
General Macarthur Is Plan
ming to Take State Guard
Into a Fifteen Days Camp
LOOKING FOR THE SITE
Conference Is Held With Ad-
jutant General Lauck Re-
garding Field Practice

Major General Macarthur, command
ing the Department of California, held
conference yesterday with Adjutant
General Lauck of the National Guard
relative to plan, which the former has
under consideration. for the co-opera-
tion of the State troops with those of
the regular army in series of field
maneuvers during the latter part of
August, as provided for in the recently
adopted Dick bill.
In response to General MacArthur's g
inquiries, General Lauck stated that
he would be able to furnish about 1000
men for the maneuvers, provided the
time is set during the latter part of
August or September 1t was agreed
that the latter part OF August would
be the most suitable time, and Cen
eral Lauck took his departure, after re-
ceiving assurance from General Mac
Arthur that he would soon submit
plans for the maneuvers to the military
department of the State.
General Macarthur says ii is his
intention to devote fifteen days to the
maneuvers, which he purposes to have
take place on some site in the Interior
of the State, to be selected by him.
Doubtless the location will be one of
the sites recently considered by the
army board while 1t was searching for
a permanent camping ground. The Ma
tional Guardsmen will go into the camp
on a footing with the regular troops,
of which 1t is contemplated to drill
several thousand, and will be thor
oughly instructed under the eye of
army experts in the maneuvers of war
fare and camp life. During their SER
vice in camp the guardsmen will re-
ceive the same pay and rations as the
regular troops, ample provisions being
made in the Dick bill for their care on
such occasions.

vacant seats. / noticed when | sat

looked around as if he didn't know
Just where to sit. One old fellow in
particular attracted my attention. He
first took a seat near the door. Then
he got up and started toward the
middle of the car, but finally, after
good deal of hesitating, he went back
and seated himself near the place he
had decided upon first. Still he wasn't
satisfied. He looked at the vacant
seats around him, and several times
seemed to be inclined to change over
to one of them. Now | have seen this
man hundreds of times scramble upon
the cars when they we're well filled,
and rush for the first seat he could
get: but never before had | seen him
exhibit so much uneasiness and dis
satisfaction. When the car is crowded
he is glad to find room to sit down
anywhere. AT such times he doesn't
stop to see whether the vacant seat
is at the end or in the centre, or on
the right or left side, He just takes

Ex-MAYoR AMEs A FREE MAN.
Supreme Court of Minnesota Decides
Indictment Was Faulty.

Supreme Court of Minnesota Decides
Indictment Was Faulty.
The prison sentence over DR.. Albert A.
Ames, former Mayor of Minneapolis and
central figure in one of the most sensa-
tional stories of civic corruption ever re-
corded in the United States, was removed
Friday. The verdict in the lower court
which sent the exMayor to Saltwater
penitentiary was overthrown by the Su
preme Court of Minnesota on the ground
of lack of proof.
The entire court held that the evidence
was faulty. Judges Stuart, Collins and
Lewis concurred in the majority opinion
that the offense was not proved while
Judges Lovely and Brown disagreed with
that part of the opinion, DR.. Ames was
charged ana convicted in the District
Court of Hennepin County of receiving
money illegally as Mayor of Minneapolis.
An appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court on the ground that the indictment
was not drawn properly in that it was
omnibus III character, charging in fact
more than one crime. This contention
was not sustained by the Supreme Court,
however.
The majority opinion of the court.
written by Justice Lewis, was a surprise
to the defense as we'll as TO the State.
The court says the indictmeH. was valid
and charged bat one offense, but declares
the State did not prove the offense
charged.
