MINNEAPOLIS NEWS


AS a result of the reversal of the case
of DR.. Ames, a movement has been
started to secure a pardon for his broth
er, Col. Fred w. Ames, who is now in the
state penitentiary.
Petitions have been prepared and are
being numerously signed. Those present
ing the petitions say that Col. Ames was
no more guilty than his brother, and
they argue it is not fair that he should
suffer if the mayor goes free.
DR.. A. A. Ames will not be tried upon
any of the indictments pending against
him, says County Attorney Boardman.
Mr.. Boardman believes any attempt to
convict the former mayor on any one
of the ten true bills would prove futile
in the light of the supreme courts re-
versal of the conviction under the omni-
bus indictment.
Mr.. Boardman has read this decision
carefully, and finds there is nothing more
he can do. He is surprised over the way
public sentiment has been swayed.
Two years ago this sentiment was
strong against the administration, and
vigorous prosecution followed. Now peo-
pie seem to be satisfied that former Mayor
Ames shall go free, although his brother
and other subordinates are serving peni-
tentiary sentences.
Mr.. Boardman is willing to proceed to
trial If it can be shown there is any chance
to convict.
Following are the ten indictments
standing against DR.. Ames:
Ten Indictments Pending.
Offering bribe of $1,000 to E. P. Sweet
for the removal of Sheriff Megaarden.
Receiving bribe of SIS from Ida Ell
Receiving bribe of SIS from Addie
Mills.
Gardner and Christopher G. Norbeck to
collect 5000 a month from women of the
town seeking police protection.
Extortion with Irwin A. Gardner of SIS
from Ida Elliott.
Receiving a bribe of $25 from Gladys
Barr.
Receiving bribe from numerous women
of the town. This is the omnibus indict-
ment'' upon which the defendant was
tried and convicted.
Receiving a bribe of $25 and promise
of $25 month from David Ravitch, an
auctioneer store proprietor.
Receiving a bribe of 5000 from B. D..
Crandall for permission to run the Stand

MRS. PARKER CONDEMNS
"JIM'S" PROSECUTORS
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-Mabel Parker
said today:
$50 far as his treatment of my hus-
band was concerned 1 think that Judge
Foster was not only unfair, but that
he was unnecessarily cruel when he
called Jim a forger and perjurer. If
Jim did make any false statement
while he was on the stand he did so
only in order to save me. What kind Of
man would he be if he did not try to
save a woman from a long term in
prison, especially if she was his wife2
mo. Jim Parker, with all his faults,
has better qualities than some of his
prosecutors, who attempted to compel
a husband to contribute to their eff
forts to make convict Of his faithful
and helpless wife.
II expect to be out Of the reforma-
tory within a few months. My foster
mother, who is now in Minneapolis,
will soon be in this city and viii sign
my parole. Just as soon as 1 am re-
leased 1 will set to work to get MY
husband out of prison. I usually ac-
complish things that I set out TO do,
and 1 am confident that 1 will not fell
in this attempt"

NO INDICTMENTS
FOR LABOR LEADERS
Some Members Of Chicago Unions Are
In the Tolls, However.

CHICAGO, Jan. 30.-The January grand
jury adjourned today without voting in
dictments against labor leaders for guilty
knowledge of assaults perpetrated during
recent strikes. Thirteen indictments
against members of unions were returned,
but none of the men is of any prominence
In labor circles. Eleven of the indict-
ments were for riot, one for assault with
intent to kill and one for intimidation.
Secretary Edward Nockels, of the Chi
cago Federation of Labor, was counseled
from the bench by Judge E. Gary today
to reconsider a determination to defy the
grand jury in the matter of producing the
books and records of the federation before
the grand jury.
Secretary Nockels was later discharged
by the Judge from the charge Of contempt
of court. No plea of discriminating him
self, the court held, was legal.

LACK OR ORDERS CLOSES MILLS.

Six Minneapolis flour mills shut down
last night, and will remain down"
during the early part Of the week.
Four mills were already down. hav-
ing been closed within the past few DAYS
1t is expected that the shutdown will
pe OF short duration. Millers say the
closing Is due to the fact that buyers are
slow to adjust their business to suit the
changed conditions in the market
The mills are sold ahead on flour. but
shipping directions on old lots are hard to
get, and now business is light. Flour
buyers fear that Armour may break the
wheat market any day by selling his big
me OF futures, and are. holding off with
the nope that this will happen, resulting
in lower flour prices
Mlllers report the situation legitimate
ly strong, and that it would have to be
big break in wheat to affect flour prices
to any important degree

ROME, Jan. 3O-In view of the in
creasing hostility of the Italian gov
ernment to the church, the pope is
discouraging heads of religious con-
gregations expelled from France from
buying property in Italy.
: It has been carefully computed at
the Vatican that the expenses of the
coming year will amount to nearly
100000. Papal moneys invested as
contingent fund will bring interest OF
more than s250,0OO, and other property
will increase the income to nearly
$500, 900. 1t is then $1,5OO,OOO which the
Vatican must receive from contribu-
tions.

ALUMNI MEETING
is WELL ATTENDED
University Graduates Perfect
Organization at Last Nights
Session.

More than 300 people attended the meet
ing at university armory last evening for
the purpose of organizing general alum
nj association for the university.
The association intends to promote the
general welfare of the university and 9TH
er kindred objects All graduates are ell
gfble to active membership, while stu
dents who attended the university but
| who have not graduated may become as
sociate members. Members of the fac.
ulty and board of regents are entitled
to honorary membership.
All who are eligible may become mem
bers on the payment of the annual fee
of 30 cents, or for $40 they may secure a
life membership. The proceeds of
this latter fund are to be kept intact as
a permanent endowment fund, the income
from which is to be devoted to the in
terests of the university.
The government of the association will
be vested in board of directors, con-
sisting of two graduates from each de-
partment. They are to elect the officers
from among themselves.
After the business meeting the banquet
was held, followed by snort programme
of addresses, as follows: 1.-The General
College Alumni Associations" DR.. Louis
B. Wilson; ''The University and the
State" Arthur Helffwell; "The Board of
Regents and Boards of Control" Fred B.
Snyder; The Future of the University"
Judge Edwin A. Jaggard.
Mr.. Snyder, in his speech introduced a
series Of resolutions voicing the sentiment
of the association in favor of the removal
of the university from the authority of
the board of control for the purpose Of
more efficient management. The resou-
tion was unanimously carried.
All the speakers also urged more united
efforts of the alumni to secure greater
funds for the maintenance of the univer-
sity. Prof. Nachtrieb, the chairman Of
the board of directors, read a letter of
regret from Congressman Lind, and said
that several thousand similar letters had
been received from alumni and former
students.

no interests at Excelsior.
Kiichli UnfoIds.
What his company has really done
and plans for the future, Mr.. Kiichli
says is this:
IAN undeveloped water power which
will give about $4,000 horse power two
miles above Elk River and thirty miles
from Minneapolis has been purchased
and 100000 has been expended in i'm
proVements so far. The site for the
power plant has been located, land on
both sides of the river for six miles
has been purchased, soundings for the
dam taken and the river plated above
and below the dam. The war depart
ment has approved the water plats
and the house of representatives has
passed bill giving authority for the
erection Of the dam. The senate is ex-
pected to concur early this coming
week.
"a right Of way has been secured
from Minneapolis to Anoka, and from
Minneapolis to and across the Mime
sofa river in the direction of Shako-
pee. The old motor line right of way
from Hopkins to Excelsior has been
bought, and the present plans of the
company include an interurban line
between Minneapolis and st. Paul,
lines to Anoka and Shakopee from
Minneapolis. the latter by the way of
Lake Minnetonka. Some time in Febru-
ary, the city councils Of Minneapolis
and st. Paul will be asked to grant
franchises. If this is done this COM
pany will have $2,OOO,OOO to be in
vested and other lines will be added"
Mr.. Kiichli does not specify what
bridge 1t is desired to use in crossing
the river for the interurban line, but
1t Is supposed to be the Marshall ave-
nue. bridge. This will require the wild
ening of the bridge at cost of about
$4,000.
