THEY BELIEVE
AMES WILL WIN
SOME EXPECT SUPREME COURT
TO REVERSE DISTRICT COURT.
One Prominent Lawyer Says He Would
Be Willing to Stake Much that That
Will Be the Outcome Of the For
mer Mayors Case.

There are men in Minneapolis,
versed in the law, who are firm in
their opinion that the supreme court
will reverse the district court in the
A. A. Ames case, and that the former
mayor will have to:sbe tried and con-
victed again if he is ever to be sent
to saltwater. f2
A man prominent in local legal cir
cles expressed the above opinion very
emphaticallyb yesterday, backing his
assertion by arguments to show that
he'sAmes indictment was invalid oW-
ing to it's "ofnnibus" character. He
stated thats altho, Of course, the SUI
preme court had given no intimation
of what their decision would be, from
some things he knew and had heard,
he was willing to stake good deal
that a reversal was coming.
This feeling that DR.. Ames will win
has been gaining ground among court
house officials and members of the
local bar and the expression of opin-
ion as to the nature of the supreme
court, decision freely favor the re-
versal theory. If the supreme court
should grant new trial, 1t is said
that it will undoubtedly be upon the
technical error in the indictments
charging more than one offense. There
seems to be no difference of opinion
on the question of the defendants be-
ing, properly found guilty on the evil
dence. Notwithstanding that fact
however another conviction would be
very hard to secure, to say nothing
of the big expense to the state.

EASY GRAFT OF
ANNlE'S BROTHER
THE CONFIDENCE MAN. HAS A
NEW GAME.
re, Takes Advantage of the Prevalence
of the Name Among Working Girls
to Victimize Their Former Mis-
tresses-He Invariably Asks for 50
to Help Her.

Housekeepers who have ever en-
ployed a servant girl named Annie,
and, there are few who haven't, must
watch out for "Annie's brother" if
they value their money. He is one
of the most original house to mousse
confidence men who has come to- the
notice of the police.
This man, who is a smooth young
fellow, well-dressed and of good man
ners works entirely in the daytime
and depends on the sympathetic ma
ture Of the lady of the house for his
living. His game is to learn the
name of the occupant of some mouse,
call there and inquire if it isn't the
place where annie used to work.
If the lady is off her guard she Will
ask il he means Annie Anderson or
Olson, as the case may be, and ne
replies in the affirmative.
He then loses no time in telling
her that he is a brother of Annie,
who has been seriously i'll at Toronto
Can, and that he wants to bring her
back to Minneapolis where she can
receive his personal care. He always
lacks lust 50 of having enough
money to pay the expenses. This
amount he wants to borrow until next
pay day. He is sorry to impose on
strangers, but sees no other way out
of it, for Annie must be brought PACK
at once or she will die.
If Annie was a good girl and
hard worker during her term of serv-
ice, the brother usually gets the money
and goes away rejoicing.
The man has worked his game or
several persons in the eighth ward
but one woman who never knew Annie
told him she did, and after he had re-
cited his story she telephoned to the
notice.

Anthony Falls in the Foreground,
Shown in the Design-The Legend
Is "Forward"-Board Holds Elec-
ton.

At the annual meeting of the Min
neapolis Real Estate Board this after
noon, in the Kasota building head
quarters, the special committee on
trade mark for Minneapolis, of which
7. j. Janney is chairman, made it's
report. This committee was appoint
ed a year ago to consider ideas for
a trade mark, and to stimulate COM
petition The Journal at that
time offered prize of $25 for the
accepted design.
Out of several hundred designs sent
in the committee recommended that
of Mrs. l.. M. Crafts of Minneapolis
for acceptance. With few modifica
tons this was offered in its final shape
along with the recommendation
The design is within a circle and
shows the mill district and the steel
arch bridge strongly outlined against
the sky, with the beautiful ST. An
thony falls in the foreground. The
word minneapolis in large letters is
shown in the foreground, and in the
sky appears the word Forward" a
free translation for the EN- Avant"
in the seal of the city of Minneapolis.
This trade mark is designed not
only for business stationery, but, be-
ing SO simple, will suffice, in enlarged
form, for use in the shipping placards
of manufacturing companies which
send their products out of the city
in car lots The board will promote
in every way the use of the trade
mark which is accepted.
In retiring, President Lester B. Ell
