), Several coal dealers have been de-

DEMURRERS OVERRULED
Clements Attorney Picks Flaws in the
Indictment, y

Demurrers to half the counts in the
Indictment against Thomas B. Clement,
the Faribault banker, were argued by
his attorney before Judge Page Nor
ris in the federal court at st. Paul yes
When notice was given by Mr.. Bax-
ter Of his desire to argue the. demur-
rers, the jury was excused. Mr.. Bax-
ter then asserted that about half the
counts in the Indictment were based
on the allegation that the drafts men
toned were drawn by the Minnesota
Lumber company and discounted by it
at the Faribault bank in the manner
Of valid obligations Of the lumber COM
pany; while nearly as many other
counts were based on the theory that
these same notes were not the valid
obligations of the lumber company.
For this reason, argued Mr.. Baxter,
tho position of the government in re-
spect to one set Of counts is incOn-
sistent when considering, the other.
MI. Baxter also made the point that
the law holds that, no, matter how ne
Of actual fact it is not false entry.
He held that the entries mentioned in
the Indictment were entries of fact.
The court intimated that the proper
time to make such demurrers, now that
the evidence was partially in, would
be when the taking Of testimony is all
completed; that then a motion could
be made for directed verdict on Ger
tain counts as not being sustained by
the evidence.

COUNCIL SHES AT
BILL FOR HAULING

Several bills for crushed rock were
held up by the council committee on
claims today, on the suspicion that the
charge for hauling was excessive. The
Mineral Supply company, which is de-
ivering crushed rock for the sewer
work on Twenty-sixth avenue N, makes
charge Of 90 CENTS per cubic yard for
hauling. City Controller Dan G. Brown
called the aldermens attention to the
charge and suggested that It be inves-
tigated.
City Engineer Andrew Rinker, who
the city was supposed to pay for the
hauling Of crushed rock at the rate of
Sc a day for four.horse team, which
was supposed to take about eight cubic
yards in one load. Ninety cents yard
might not be excessive, if the haul was
long one. He could not say how
many loads a day could be hauled from
the company s crusher on Fifteenth
avenue NE and johnson street to
Twenty-sixth avenue N. The members
Of the committee thought that team
ought to make the trip four times in
one day, or, in other words. to deliver
thirty-two cubic yards for Sc. AS the
company delivered only about seven and
one-half yards for Sc, an explanation
seemed Forthcoming. The bills were
sent to the city engineer for auditing.

RIVER GIVING TROUBLE
SAW MILLS ALL SHUT DOWN AND
PLYMOUTH AVENUE BRIDGE
CLOSED TO TEAM TRAFFIC.

Minneapolis saw mill operations are
suffering an interruption, for the sec
ond time this season. The Mississippi
is is : on tear and is within two feet Of
mills have been Obliged to to shut down ,m
on account Of the high water and the
inability of the boom company to ham
die logs, and 1900 mill men are out of
employment. The approaches Of the
Plymouth avenue bridge have given
way under pressure Of the gigantic
flood Of water against the piers and
braces, and the bridge has been closed
to traffic. The flat dwcllers are
carrying ballast and anchor material
into the homes and outbuildings to pre-
vent the river from floating them
away if the rise continues.
Of the saw mills the seasons lumber
cut Of Minneapolis will fall far be-
hind. In May the mills were obliged
ter, and with the present flood thirty
days at the very least will be lost in the
present season. The lumber cut here
may fall as low as 350,000,00O feet.
According to lumbermen and river
men, the river is now higher than it
has been since 1897. The worst Of it
is that the river is holding it's high
rains thru the north continue to keep
It up, Ei1 ef4 a. ea&tdz :
A1tho the damage to The Plymouth
avenue bridge is slight as yet, the city
engineer decided to close it to team
traits tEa6ie yesterday afternoon, but con
The east end approach supports are of
wood and were put in some years ago
when the bridge was damaged by the
big lumber yard fire. The IRON and
stone piers under the old part Of the
supports have been unable to stand the
strain. AS consequence the roadway
has settled several inches for distance
Of twelve or fifteen feet, the north side
being considerably lower than the
south. A thoro Investigation will be
made and traffic will be kept off until
there is no possibility of danger.
The river fell about an inch last night
and remained stationary today. Log.
gers and lumbermen are hoping that the
high point has been reached. Tt is not
believed that the logs now hold by the
boom company above the city are in any
danger. 8Est$

LOCAL MILLING COMPANY IN
CURING AS TO ADvIsABILITY
OF BUILDING WINTER WHEAT
MILL .t-tEH

G. A. Thomas and W. H.. Bovey, of
the Washburn-C Crosby company, W no
have been in the. southwestern winter
wheat fields inspecting the crops, are
in Kansas City today looking into at
fairs in that market. It was rumored
in Kansas City that the big Mime
apolis milling company has decided to
invade the southwest and will build a
plant at Kansas City.
Officers of the company say it is
possible they may decide to build mill
In Kansas City to grind winter wheat,
but that nothing appertaining to such
a move is on a definite basis as yet.
No property has been bought.
Messrs. Thomas and Bovey have
been investigating conditions as to cost
of manufacturing in Kansas City, and
the report is based upon this. H
So far the company has done little
more than inform itself thoroly relative
to the southwest, and while a mill may
ultimately be erected in Kansas City,
by Minneapolis capital, no arrange
ments Of the kind have yet been made.

FOR CLEMENT
BANKERS ATTORNEY, ARGUING
DEMURRERs, MAINTAINS POS
sIBLE ERRORS WE'RE NOT GRIM
Il NAL.

II. Attorney Baxter, for the defense in
the case of Thomas B. Clement, the
Faribault banker, devoted all forenoon
to arguing special demurrers to counts
IN the Indictment, the jury being ex-
cused.
He first attacked the charge that
Clement had embezzled $1,000 in lawful
money. He said that the $1,000 had
been credited to Clements account
while in the form Of a draft, and sub
sequently checked out. He contended
that the draft and the checks are not,
properly speaking, legal money.
In the second count, charging the
defendant with a false entry in listing
the Barton farm as an asset of the bank
on Oct. 20, 1904, Mr. Baxter said it
could not be denied that the bank then
owned the legal title to the land, but
the indictment drew no distinctions be-
tween legal and equitable titles.
10 the court Baxter admitted that
the bank had carried both the North
rup. and White notes as assets, when
both were secured by the same collat-
eral.
With reference to the Shaft-Pierce
note, which is dealt with in the third
count, Mr.. Baxter said there had been
no evidence produced to show that this
note had been entered on the books by
Mi. C6ueuC Of dL MS ulrecGlOn.
With regard to the two counts char
ging the defendant with unlawfully
falsifying a report to the controller of
the currency by increasing the amount
Of gold held in the bank, Mr.. Baxter
commended that the only testimony was
the uncorroborated evidence Of the
cashier, who, by his own statement, was
an accomplish.
In the counts dealing with drafts to
DR.. A. G. Rogers, Mr.. Baxter explained
the drafts were given in the ,expectas-
of the fruit company as soon as the
title to the property had been cleared,
and without intent to deceive. The
misapplication, if any existed, was not
with intent to wilfully defraud the
bank. At the worst it was maladminis-
tration.
Regarding the charge that the bank.
er had distracted $68,256.45 Of the
funds and credits Of the bank and
substituted fruit company bonds, the
lawyer argued there was no abstraction
as the documents were not taken out
of the bank building and are now in
the possession of the government.
