Washington, D. c., April 30, 1904,
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Dar-

mittee onnaval affairs yesterday, and,
to the surprise of all of its members,
made a plain and straightforward
argument against any plan for gen
eral staff for the navy.
Mr. Darling said Secretary Moody,
though holding directly contrary
views, urged him (Darling) to appear
before the committee to make a state

A NEW BUILDING
FORC.G.W. OFFICES
COMPANY MAY HAVE GENERAL
OFFICES IN MINNEAPOLIS.
The Plan, Which Has Been Officially
Urged, Provides for the Erection of
an Ample Office Building in Minne-
apolis-St. Paul Offices Cramped.

The Great Western is said to be
considering the erection of a general
office building in Minneapolis. AS
with other Chicago lines, except the
Minneapolis & st. Louis, Minneapolis
is the initial point and the proper
place for headquarters. Such a move
has been officially urged on the COM
pany and it is probable that following
other lines, such as the Wisconsin
Central and Omaha, who have sta
toned general offices here, the Great
Western will transfer all departments
to the terminus of the road.
The Great Western now rents offices
in four buildings in st. Paul. The
quarters are cramped everywhere and
would not permit the assembling of
the heads of departments in one build
ing. Economy of operation calls for
this com bination, SO that circum-
stances will force some sort of a move,
and Minneapolis is therefore consid-
cred. The Great Western is the pio-
neer in so many new railway moves
that is would be perfectly logical if it
should be the first to break away from
the tradition that railway headquar-
tiers must be in st. Paul. .-a
The company plans the expenditure
of $250,000 this season in Minneapolis,
including an enlargement of the en-
CINE roundhouse. These improvem ents
are simply steps in a general plan
evolving for two or three years and
looking toward recognition of the i'm
portance of Minneapolis as railway
center.

S. c. HAZARD
GUILTY OF BIGAMY
JURY so DECLARES AFTER FIVE
HOURS OF DELIBERATIONS.
Prisoner Takes Verdict CalmIy-Dr.
Burfield Complains of It's Injustice
Viva Fitchpatrick's Regrets
Judges Charge Was Favorable to
the States Case.
Guilty as charged in the indict-

Guilty as charged in the indict-
ment.''
So read the verdict returned at 8
o'clock last evening after five hours
elaboration by the jury in the Samuel
G. Hazard bigamy case. The dashing
hearts and heretofore one of tickle
fortunes fayorites Is now branded a
felon and seems doomed to serve time
in the state penitentiary.
After o'clock the jury watchers
began to think an agreement might
not be reached last night. The SYM
pathizers of the prosecuting witness
began to fear lest their case was not
so strong as they had thought it and
the accused and DR.. Burfield began to
hope for at least a disagreement.
These hopes were blasted, however,
just before o'clock, when a summons
came to the watchers in the county
Jail, that the jury was ready to re-
port.
Hazard, accompanied by the faith
full doctor, repaired to the courtroom
and took the chair occupied by him
during the trial. The prisoner
showed no signs of fear or agitation as
he waited to learn his fate. The
verdict was handed to the clerk, who
and returned the document to Deputy
Clerk Ryberg, who slowly pronounced
the words declaring Samuel c.. Har-
grave criminal
The convicted man did not change
countenance and gave no sign of car
ing. He quietly rose and with DR..
Burfield and the jailer left the room
and went back to his Jail home. When
upstairs the woman burst into tears
and sobbing Historically denounced
the conviction as unjust. Hazard
comforted her as best he could, but
remained quiet.
The news was received by Viva
Fitchpatrick, Hargrave with sorrow.
The woman who was indicated by the
jury's verdict evidently still loves her
handsome husband and admitted that
she did not want to see him convicted.
II do not love that man." she said
yesterday, pointing to the defendant as
he sat talking to DR.. Burfeld. II do
not love him, but love and always
will love the man who was my hus-
band. I am sorry for my dear boy, he
is not nearly so much to blame as
someone else" --.r
Sentence will be passed upon the
prisoner within a few days or as soon
as the attorneys can perfect the mo-
tons for new trial.
Judge Brooks charge yesterday aft
ernoon was a strong exposition Of the
marriage laws of this state and care
full review Of the evidence introduced
in the case. His Interpretation Of the
law was distinctly favorable to the
states case and was a revelation to
some members Of the bar present.
The court announced that in order
to commit the crime Of bigamy there
must be two legal marriages. A legal
marriage, however, did not necessitate
the taking out Of license, neither did
it require a record Of the ceremony
performed by minister or magistrate.
- c,,>~s<o -
this state, Eaid the judge, IF an
agreement III made between the par
ties to become husband and wife and
thereafter they cohabit,, together as
man and wife. A common law mar
riage is legal marriage in this state. -

How to Enjoy Breakfast

trying to digest things which should
never have been put into it and in

tarrhal waste matter. While this

them frightful in nature. Result

The stomach of a healthy person

Eight persons barely escaped death
In a fire which broke out in the
clearinghouse Of Mrs. Daniel Rath-
jeans, 1O15 First avenue S, at o'clock
this morning, and but for the prompt
and cool-headed work Of Mrs. Rath-
jeans daughter, Laura, who herself
was seriously injured by the flames
reached the open air. AS it was, Mrs.
Rathjeans was dangerously injured,
while seven others were seriously
burned and injured by inhaling the
smoke and hot air that filled the
room. ...
The fire started from the furnace in
the basement and was not discovered
by the roomers until it broke thru the
floor of the living room. Even then,
before the inmates could make their
way to the outer door, the flames cut
off their retreat and they found them
selves caught like rats in a trap. To
remain in the room meant sure death
and to reach the outer air meant a
brave struggle thru wall Of living
flame.
Just as they were about to despair,
Miss Rathjeans caught up her mother,
who had already tainted, and started
for the stairway leading to the second
floor and to a door which connected
the building with the one next door.
Inc others Followed her, when the way
of escape had been suggested, but they
had not gone far when the girl was
compelled to drop her burden and
reach the fresher air to restore her
waning strength. AS she dropped the
unconscious woman a number of the
others trod upon the helpless woman
and some Of her serious injuries are
attributed to this. Miss Rathjeans
tainted at the head of the stairs, but
a minute later regained consciousness
and returned to where she had left her
mother, picking her up and bearing
her out of the burning house, across
the street to safety
1t was while the inmates Of the
burning building were struggling thru
the flames to reach the stair door that
they received their burns and the
smoke and hot air which they inhaled
there may prove more serious than ex-
pected. AS it is the eight mentioned
above needed the attention of a physi-
clan and the outcome Of their injuries
cannot be foretold. -
After an alarm was turned in 1t was
not long until the fire department had
the flames under control. The dam
age to the building, which is owned by
w. G. Whitney, is estimated at $500,
while Mrs. Rathjeans, who owns the
furniture, will lose about 5000.
