cuses the Hearst delegates who did not
have tickets attempted to- force their
way into the halls, where the meet
ings were held. In few Instances they
were successful. A sufficient number
of Hearst people gained admission to
both caucuses to starr and maintain a
pandemonium as soon as the Parker
people opened proceedings. Appear
ances indicated that the Parker people
were In the majority, and on that
showing the district organizations de-
clared the Parker states elected and so
reported to state headquarters The
Hearst people then took possession and
held their rump caucuses. The Parker
people left the hail.

ments and Possibly Judges
Charge to Jury.

Testimony in the Ames case is all in,
and today will be taken up by the argu-
ments Of attorneys, the case going to the
jury either late this afternoon or tomor-
row morning. zs-ez
The sensation which the defense prom
ised failed to materialize No attempt
was made to pillory Thomas r. Brown
Jr., and no evidence was introduced to
show the disposition of the graft, into
hands higher than those of the mayor
as R. R. Odell phrased it In his opening
to the jury.
Capt. w. w. Brown had a bad fifteen
minutes on the stand yesterday. Brown
had testified that Mayor Ames had had
nothing to do with the closing of his
theater, and County Attorney Boardman
called him to the witness stand for cross
examination armed with a COMPLAINT in a
civil action instituted some time ago by
Brown against Charley Sodini in which
the charge was made, under oath, that
Sodini had paid the mayor 81, 900 to close
the standard theater, and that DR.. Ames
mad carried out his part of the bargain.
BfoWn was compelled to admit that he
mad sworn to the complaint, but explain
ed iamely that 1t had been drawn by his
attorney. and that while he thought the
charge. was right at that time he had
since nee, been persuaded otherwise.
William H. CoWles testified that he had
talked with Thomas r. Brown Jr., fol-
lowing DR.. Ames' first conviction. and
said Brown had told him Ames was not

Henry A. Roth a pawnbroker, testified
tnat Gardner had told him die intended
TO saddle the blame for his own misdeeds
upon DIR. Ames, and thatThe5 felt confident
ne could do 1t. He admitted that he had
PAID Gardner money for the privilege Of
running an auction shops1skh.
Roth was the last witness NV he

ana the defense then rested.
irwin A. Gardner, called in rebuttal by
the state, testified that he had turned
over the money paid him by Roth to Dr.
AmeS. He declared that when Augusta
Hayden doubted his authority to collect
protection money" he had mot referred
ner TO Tom Brown, as she claimed, but
TO the mayor himself. ~
Mrs. Nellie Fitchette, widow Of Coffee
Jonn, testified that Mayor Ames had

SHE WANTS HER BIT
Judge Bum Gets Letter From
Wilder Estate Claimant.

Mrs. H. w. Beer, Of Staten Island
N. Y, evidently reads the daily papers
closely. Though 1900 miles from st.
Paul, her attention was attracted by
the dispatches in her home papers con-
tanning the accounts of the hearing of
the Wilder will case before Judge
Bum.
The matter interested her vitality.
and her pulse quickened as she noted
the seven figures it required to express
the value of the estate.
Noting the name Wilder" Mrs.
Beer bethought herself that her hus-
band had grandmother once whose
name was Miss Wilder" What if she
should have belonged to the st. Paul
Wilders! Felicitous thought But
how to find out for sure, that was the
question.
Mrs. Beer didn't know soul in st.
Paul to whom she could write. The
Wilders were all dead, else she might
have dropped a line to some of them.
Suddenly a bright idea fitted across
her brain. There was the judge who
was hearing the case-Judge Bum
He would surely know, and being the
Judge he would treat her fairly.
To be sure Mrs. Beer didn't know
Judge Bunn's address, but then he
must live in st. Paul.
So what does Mrs. Beer do but SIT
herself down and indict the following
missive, addressing it, Judge Bum
st. Paul, Mimi"
May 8, 1904.
Judge Bum. Dear Sir
Please excuse me for addressing you
I read in the paper your name and die
not have any address to write to l read
of the Wilder case my husbands grand
mother was Miss Wilder and he is called
after her. will you be so kind and give II
to some newspaper who will trace 1t VI
as we may be the same Wilder my hus-
band came from England. If we should
have any hope we will return your kind
ness by you giving this to some news
paper or someone who viii trace them VI
hoping you will oblige yours Respectful

Every Instrument
to Be Sacrificed

Perhaps your old piano may have
been used but a few years, yet is
not satisfactory, or is old and has
served its usefulness. Possibly it
is considerably worn = the tone
sharp and thin, the action loose, and
it does not stay in tune. You may
have an old square, fine piano 80
years ago, but now out of date and
occupying too much space. If for
these reasons, or any other, you
would enjoy a new piano, we shall
be glad to talk over the matter of
an exchange, and if you cannot af-
ford to pay the entire cash differ
ence we will accept easy payments.
Also If the second hand instrument
is Of sufficient value, will accept it
as an advance payment, allowing
balance to be- paid in small in
stallments.

HOLD BERTHS FOR
REGULAR PATRONS
Sleeping Car Accommodations
Are Refused Cheap Chi.
c6go Excursionists.

Chicago excursionists who came to
the Twin Cities because of the SO
round-trip fare have found difficulty in
securing sleeping car reservations for
the return trip. The Milwaukee and
Omaha roads have insisted upon car
ing for their regular patrons before
providing berths for the visitors.
At the city ticket offices the excur-
sionists were refused berths, being told
that they would have to secure their
sleeping car accommodations at the
train. Travellers who purchased tick
cts at the regular tariff rate found no
difficulty in securing reservations, but
the holders Of the cheap-rate transpor-
tation were turned down.
If there are any berths left you can
get them at the depot" the excursion
lists were informed. And each appli-
cant for berth was obliged to pre-
sent his ticket, SO that no holder of
the So transportation could possibly
get berth reserved in advance.
@ Visitors GrumbIe.
There was a great deal of grumbling
amongsthe excursionists, but the Off
Gals of the two roads claim that they
were forced to take the action to pro-
tect their regular business and pre-
vent 1t from being diverted to other
lines. ar
1--WE are sorry to be obliged to refuse
the excursionists berth reservations, .
said an official of the Milwaukee, ''but
we must protect our patrons who are
paying the regular tariff rates. If,
after caring for them, we have ac-
eommodations for the holders of the
So tickets we will gladly furnish them
with berths."
The Omaha and Milwaukee kept up
its crusade yesterday against the pur-
chasers of the cheap-rate tickets
which have fallen into the hands of
brokers. Eleven passengers were
forced to get off trains leaving st. Paul
for Chicago because they were not
provided with funds to pay their fares
when the conductors took up the
tickets which they had secured from
scalpers. About 400 of the tickets
have been confiscated and full fare
collected.

Senator tonight, and spent consid-
cradle time in conversation can
hardly analyze his attitude. Yes, he

things that do not suit him.

done everything IN it's power for him.
Every suggestion he met with some
objection But assured him that if
his objections We're true, neverthe-
less it was time now for all to join
and help in the campaign. Events
we're more forcthle than any mans
opinion"

tIor lectured Bryan. but his words
did not apparently make much inn

has been plotting against the oppo-
sition forces, and trying to prevent
Ohio from climbing upon the Parker

to do to their satisfaction.
Then into the clear-cur moving pic

the road and about it big and little
children played. some throwing bal!
over the house in the ancient game of
"Ant'ny over and others playing
marbles and jumping a rope. Then a
big boy appeared with a brimming

much as not being able to collect
