Grand Jury Finds Indictment
Against Alleged Procurer

Louis Herschowitz was indicted yes
terday on the charge of drugging a
homeless girl and, then attempting to
sell her to life of shame.
His plans. it is said, were frustrated
by the keeper of resort, Clara Lar
son, who laid trap for him and when
the young girl-she is only sixteen
johnson was in the locality and Her
schowitz was taken to the central po-
lice station 60,
Yesterday the Larson woman; who
had notified the police of the plan of
the young man, appeared before the
grand jury and told the story. The
result was the voting of an Indictment
at once Sls.ssss
The girl was left an orphan some
weeks ago and come to Minneapolis
and secured employment in a restau-
rant. Herschowitz took his meals at
the place, and Wednesday, evening, it
is said. he asked her to take a walk
with him. She consented and after
much persuasion and threats she was
induced to take a few drinks: She
realized nothing more until about 4
o'clock in the :. morning, when. she
found herself ON the street in COM
pany with the man.
Half dazed though she was, she
realized her position was gone and she
asked Herschowitz to secure her a
place in a private family.r.i'sa SIT
To her surprise she learned he had
done so already, and taking her to the
resort told her to enter and tell the
proprietor that she was over eighteen
years of age. 1t was then Sergeant
Johnson gathered in the pioneer "ca-
det'' of Minneapolis.
The Larson woman, who had in
formed the police of the arrangements
which had been made for the ruin Of
the girl was only too glad to appear
against him. The girl is still suffering
from the effects of the drug, but will
be able to appear in. court in a, few
days.

BIG WHEAT BULL
SEES HIGH PRICES
J. A. Patten, of Chicago, Asserts That
Present Figures Are Too Low

]. A. Patten, the big Chicago whea,
trader, was visitor on the floor of the
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce
yesterday. He denied he was in Min
neapolis in connection with the mar
ket, but said he was en- route to the
Pacific coast on a vacation trip
Mr.. Patten insisted he was a wheat
bun for the reason that wheat is GER
tain to be worth more money this year
than it was last and the traders might
as well make up their minds to the
fact. Wheat, he said, is bound to sell
for higher prices than those which are
prevailing at the present time.

JOE NIX HAS BEEN
OFFICER Fl YEARS
OLDEST MAN IN POINT OF SERV-
ICE-HAS HAD MANY NARROW
EscAPEs-HAs SERVED UNDER
MANY ADMINISTRATIONS.

Policeman Joe Nix reached his majority
in service on the police force yesterday.
He has served twenty-one years as a
policeman in Birmingham, and with the
exception of two months 1t has been con-
tiuous service. In one Of the political
changes he was not reelected, and for
two months he was not on the force, but
he soon returned to his old love and has
been there ever since.
There is not a policeman on the force
today who started in service with Police
man Nix. During his service Mr.. Nix has
been severely wounded two or three times
and had any number of narrow escapes
but he has come out of them all without
permanent injury.
Policeman Nix has served under every
mayor and chief of police since Uncle
Tom" Jeffries stepped down from the
chair of the executive. He started on the
force on February r. 1883. Three years
afterwards he was elected night captain,
and the following year lieutenant.
Nix has served through the three terms
of A. o. Lane as mayor, the term of B.
A. Thompson, one term with d. J. Fox,
one with Frank V. Evanse and through
the term of ], A Van Hoose. He has
served under Chiefs Mcdonald, Austin
and Wier. and has always been consider
ed one of the most reliable officers of the
force.
In 1880 Policeman Nix was shot through
the hand in fight with three white men
on Twentieth street. They all escaped
and were never captured. The following
year he was again shot by white man
on Fourth avenue and Twentieth stree.
This time in the hand also. In 1887 he
was stabbed over the heart by white
avenue just below the Opera House Hotel
and in 1885 his entire right check was
laid open py a blow from a lathe Ratchet
in the hands of a negro, whom Nix fatally
shot. He took the Ratchet and a knit
from me negro, but was so badly cut that
the negro escaped, although shot In the
leg The negro lay out in the woods six
weeks and was captured, but died from
his wound.
Policeman Nix was captain during the
Halves riot and stood side by side witt
Sheriff Joe Smith when the police and
deputies were first fired on by the mob
Had he not been off the force for two
months during 1895 he. would now be
wearing badge No. /, If not shoulder
straps. AS 1t is, since 1895 he has worked
through the ranks until he now wears
badge No. 8. When he started on the
force there were only nine policemen.

A former Chlcagoan, now a member of
the stock exchange and living In New
York, tells story of how Judge Cross
cup made his first start towards com
potency: When Judge Grosscup began
practicing law in Chicago said the
broker, The had very little money and a
yer small practice. He was taken sich
one time and as / knew him very well |
got into the habit of calling on him al
most every evening to cheer him up. On
one of these visits he told me that he
had couple of hundred dollars saved III,
and in order TO give his mind occupa-
ton he would like me to take 500 of 1t
and buy him so shares of stock on a
point margin. Being In stock brokerage
establishment | could watch trade of
that kind and agreed to make the spec
ulation for him. We picked out Chicago
gas. then known as the Chicago Gas
Trust The stock moved up day after
day, and the judge with the spirit of a
true gambler kept increasing his line as
fast as the broker would permit. One
day he bought cali on 500 additional
shares at some points above the market
The price got there and beyond Judge
Grosscup was sick for four months, and
on his first trip down town he called at
our office and received his profits in the
form OF check for $16,5O0. The next
INNS ht dib was " ktI lnLO some real
estate which quadrupled in value inside
OF two years From then on 1t was easy
sailing for him. and when he ascended
the Federal bench he was worth easily
100000. When l read his decision in the

his only speculative venture and thought

tainly repaying that good turn Chicago
gas once gave YOU. I hear, by the way,
that Judge Grosscnp is nursing a well de-
veloped Presidential bee In his bonnet"
1t is current gossip that Smathers, the
horseman, entirely separated himself
from any connection with the Baxter
chain of so-called commission houses six
weeks or two months before the collapse
in the cotton market and that he got out
with his great fortune of $1,000 900 to 49,
100000 practically intact. They say he

COTTON IS CHIEF FACTOR
BY w. G. NICHOLAS.

New York. February 14.-(Speeial)-
Wall street has passed through a week
of excitement and turmoil There has
been plenty of calamity and at times
bearish sentiment in the stock market
was very pronounced so much so, indeed,
that opinion seemed almost unanimous
that there must be a resumption of ex-
tensive liquidation and decline in
prices to a lower range than has yet
been seen. This sentiment found express
sion in violent raids the first part of the
week, but strong interests combined to
check the ineipient Generalization and
give tone to market that seemed on
the point of going to pieces. The street
had about made up its mnid to look with
complacency on the Russo-Japanese war
provided the struggle could be confined to
those two nations, but the panic in the
cotton market and the Baltimore fire
were incidents too near home to be view
ed with indifference.

some of the strongest spectators in the
street and he Is supposed to have abso-
lutte control of a larger cash backing than
was even given James r. Keene when
placed in charge Of the manipulation of
United States steel stocks. 1t Is an open
secret that some of the biggest men in
Standard oil are associated with Sully
and have been. They have the utmost
confidence in his generalship and In his
thorough understanding OF the cotton sit
uation Terrific losses were suffered by
the public on the slump in cotton. and
the bucket shops that wi.hstood the
pressure won back all they had lost and
more. Cotton planters, for the most
part, disposed of their product before the
climax of the advance. and the real sub
stantial interests of the south were not
materially affected by the riotous furry
in the speculative pits.
The break in cotton disclosed the fact
that a close intimacy existed between
stocks and the gamble in that commodity.
Great numbers Of stock spectators had
gone into cotton and one effect of the
crash was to cause alarm among the
stock houses as to the solveecy of many
of their clients. Indeed, not a few stock
exchange concerns were themselves hurt
badly, so badly In fact that they have
announced their intention to give up their
seats in the cotton exchange and get out
of that line of business entirely. There
have been innumerable freeze outs" of
speculative. accounts due to the cotton
fluke, but a remarkably small number of
actual failures such as attract public

There is more than a suspicion that
John w. Gates the western plunger was
acting for the Standard oil interests in
the recent bull manipulation and that
his principals succeeded in unloading an
immense quantity of securities at a good
average range of prices. a level consider
ably above that now prevailing. In re-
cent letter l mentioned that Mr.. Gates
and the Rockefelers had established
community of interest and the street is
just beginning to hear and believe the
quiet gossip. Mr.. Gates succeeded in
working up a considerable Juror in the
stock market and his following for a
time had the game all their own way.
Then something hit the boom amidships
and after struggling about for a few
days there came a wholesale collapse.
The Gates orators on the exchange and
in not a few of the offices were as vocif-
erously bearish after the break as they
were bullish around the top The news
papers were full of cutlery over the b
judgement of the weste.,l p4unger and
alive with warnings to the public to here
after fight shy of his leadership. 1t is not
improbable however, that the willy oper-
ator made a successful coup for Standard
oil principals. BY the way the ex-govern-
ment official who posed somewhat as the
mouthpice of the Standard oil crowd is
quoted as having said few days ago
that his people would probably not turn
bulls on the market for a year or more.
