ERNST VICTIM SUES
Priest Seeks to Recover on
Original Notes

Rev. p. A. Baart of Pennsylvania, a
victim of Casper Ernst's faculty for
selling forged paper, yesterday begun
three separate actions in the district
court to establish the validity of mort
gage notes purchased by him from
Ernst In the aggregate sum of S2,250.
The actions are brought against the
original signers of the notes and judg-
ment for the face OF the note with in
terest from date of issuance is asked in
each instance
Father Baart bought up about $780,
900 of notes and mortgages from Ernst
while the latter was still in business
and when the crash came he found that
while some of the notes were the origi-
nal ones others were forgeries. He is
now bringing suit upon the original
notes against their signers. A deci-
sion upon such a suit was made in
his favor by Judge Brooks of the Hen
nepin county bar Monday. The cases
which he has instituted here are exact
ly similar in their nature, the Mime
apolis case having been in the way OF
a test case.
The major action in point of amount
involved is that against John Mollner
and others, whose note and a mortgage
on Ramsey county real estate he
holds in the sum of $500. The note
was given by them to Casper Ernst in
September, 1902, and he alleges to have
since learned that a forged copy of
the note was sold by Ernst and others
to another party. The mortgage and
note do not fall due until September
this year. The suit is brought to OBJ
tain judgment before that time and
thus establish the validity of his pa
pers.
Louis Tretcher and others are made
the defendants in an action to secure
Judgment on a mortgage and note for
$500, which was given to Ernst Dec.
20, 1902, and transferred by him to the
plaintiff, Father Baart, later. The same
charge as in the former suit, that of a
forged set of papers being in existence,
is also made in this suit.
The third of the trio of suits is that
against George Fleischacker, Anna +.
Fleischhacker and Michael Beasen, on
a note and mortgage in the amount of
$3.50 given by them to Ernst Oct. 6,
1902, and now in the possession of
Father Baart, who alleges, as in the
preceding cases, that forged copies of
the paper have been sold since he Sc
cured the original papers.

CIRCUIT COURT HOLDS
WOMAN WAS NEGLIGENT
Augusta Christensen Denied Damages for
Injuries Received on Car

Four decisions were handed down yes
terday by the United States circuit court
of appeals for the eighth district, affirm
ing the judgment of the lower court in
every case but one.
In the case of Augusta Christensen VS..
the Metropolitan Street railway company
of Kansas City, in which the district
court sustained the demurrer of the de-
PENDANT, it was held that no error had
been made. The plaintiff sued the de-
PENDANT company for $4,000 for personal
damages alleged to have been sustained
while she was riding on a street car.
The injury was alleged TO have occurred
in most peculiar manner. The plaintiff
claimed that as she was riding from
Kansas City, Mo-, to Kansas City, Kan,
the car became so crowded that she be-
came faint, and that she stood up and
put her head out of the window to get
fresh air. One of the trolley posts was
so close to the side of the car that her
head was jammed against it.. The de-
PENDANT claimed that the plaintiff was
guilty of contributory negligence, and
this view was maintained by the court.

REGULATE SALOONS
Alderman and Minister Would
Bar Women

An ordinance patterned after the
Jones wine room ordinance of Mime
apoliS, though not so stringent, was in
troduced by Aid. Hackney at meeting
of the board Of aldermen last night
1t provides that it shall be unlawful
for a woman unless accompanied by
her husband or father TO drink in any
saloon in st. Paul, or to loiter about or
frequent such resorts. A saving
clause is incorporated which relieves
any restaurant connected with saloon
from liability under the terms of the
ordinance. Upon conviction under the
ordinance, a penalty is provided, max
ing the minimum fine $25 and the max
imum fine 500, or not to exceed sixty
days in the workhouse.
In supporting the ordinance which he
fathered, Aid. Hackney stated that he
had consulted with Chief O'Connor,
and that he was heartily in favor of
such a law. Rev. David Morgan, who
had suggested the necessity for such
an ordinance to Aid. Hackney, was
asked to make few remarks explain
atory Of the purpose of such a law.
He stated that the strict orders which
women being in saloons had resulted in
a general removal of women of the
street from that city to st. Paul. He
explained that the measure was in
tended simply to give the police more
power over the conduct of disorderly
places. He assured the aldermen that
it was not intended nor would its
terms permit of injury to legitimate
saloons, but that 1T would put the
dives out of business.
According to the Rev. Morgan's in
depreciation of the ordinance, there is
no clause therein which would pro-
hibit a woman from rushing the cam"
Or bodily entering a saloon and buying
bottled goods, so long as she does not
drink. anything on the premises.
After these explanatory remarks Aid.
Moriarty moved that the ordinance be
referred to the committee on streets.
To this Aid. Hackney objected, for a
moment, but decided not to press the
question to a vote, as three or four
aldermen had indicated a dislike to the
bill. 1t was referred to the committee
on streets. ...-... ,.. .... ~.
Several of the aldermen frankly adj
nit the necessity for such law, and
state that they will support the Hack
ney ordinance.

CALENDAR IS CALLED
IN SUPREME COURT
Several important Cases on
List to Be Heard at
April Term

The supreme court will hear 1872
cases during the April term of court,
which was called yesterday and Will
continue until June 80. The calling of
the calendar occupied the entire atten-
ton of the court yesterday. More than
a hundred attorneys and visitors were
present when the court was opened, the
occasion being the first time the cham
Der was thrown open to the public. La
Farge's painting, Moses Receiving the
Law on Mount Sinai" was in position
above the bench and was much adj
mired, as was the room in general.
The Wilder will case, as the legal
proceedings following the death of
Amherst II. Wilder, his wife and daugh-
ter, are generally known, will again oc-
cupy the attention of the court. This
time DR.. e. Villiers Appleby, husband
of Cornelia Day Wilder, deceased, and
one of the executors of her estate, APP
pears as the appellant against Victor
NJ. Watkins, Charles L. Spencer and
Charles N. Bell, as executors of his
wifes estate, respondents. The case
hinges on the Wilder residence on
Summit and Selby avenues. A clause
in the will of Mrs. Appleby provided
that on her death the homestead was
to become the property of DR.. Appleby,
provided he never remarked, and $4,000
annually was to be appropriated to
conduct the establishment. Mrs. APP
pleby died before her mother and the
executors contended that as the prop
erty reverted to Mrs. Wilder and the
clause turning over the property to DR..
Appleby became inactive. Several other
legal points regarding the construc-
ton of the will are also in contro-
versy
The states appeal from Judge BrilPs
decision in the Ramsey county district
court in the case of Congressman G. B.
Buchanan, accused of having trespassed
on state timber lands in Itasca county,
is also on the calendar. The suit is for
q total of $50, 900 and was brought by
the state in Ramsey county. The de-
PENDANT demurred on the plea that the
state could not sue outside the county
in which the alleged trespass occurred.
Judge Brill upheld the contention and
the appeal is the result.
The st. Paul City railway company
appeals from judgment for total of
$102, 600 secured by the city of st. Paul
in the Ramsey county district court.
The city brought the suit to collect the
amount due from the taxes of 1898.
The Northern Pacific railway COM
pany is the respondent in a suit
brought by the state to secure the
payment of $1,000,000, tax assessment
levied in Ramsey county in 1903. The
company contends that the property on
which the state sought to secure the
tax was included in the gross earnings
tax and therefore not again taxable.
Charles Crawford, found guilty in the
Ramsey county courts of working a
confidence game and sentenced to five
and half years at Saltwater, where
he is now serving time, appeals from
the Judgment.

weird contrast to the lavish waste of money by that
Croesus appeared in yesterdays Herald, in dispatch
from Goldhed. The dispatch told Of prospectors just
arrived at Bullfrog who found two insane men, nearly
in extremis, wandering in Death valley.
It stated in regard to the unfortunates that
their misfortune is but repetition of the disasters
Of that region during the past week" The springs
drying is usual at the beginning Of summer and
it is hazardous for any but experienced desert pros
pectors to enter the valley of death. Remains of

Death valley is not directly the line to the gold dig
gngs but it is not far distant point. The whole
region however is perlous at this of the year
to any parties not thoroughly familiar with It,
The admonton is especially timely because
there intimations of parties who intend to make
outing tours by private conveyance to the gold
regions. Possibly some adventurers, spurred by the
display Of wealth made by the Croesus of Death valley

cay. None but persons who have been through that
region fully comprehend the frightfu risk taken
by inexperienced desert tourists.

SYMPATHY VERSUS JUSTICE

1t is pitiful indeed the misery of that crushed wife
of an unfaithful and criminal husband, expressed
thus in local newspaper advertisement;
Send word of comfort. Live and pray am
faithful until DEATH"
Such exhibitions of wifely love and devotion not
but the in question is peculiarly noticeable
There is apparent excuse whatever for the der
ELECTION of the husband whose eyes pathetic
advertisement is intended. With seeming
for going astray turned deliberately from the path
of rectude which he had rodden honorably for many
years His downfall could have been the result of
a misstep. He started wrong in the full blaze of
knowledge that he not only wreckng his own life
but the same time bringing misery and disgrace
upon his family
But this particular has broader bearing than
that of single domestic circle 1t is ntimated that
the surety company which is liable for the amount of
the embezzlement will push the prosecution if the
guilty make good the amount of the shortage"
1t is said, Also that the railway company is "averse
to prosecuting the case and is simply looking to the
bond company for the money lost"
1t is understood that the absconder has relatives
voved in the case hence the intimatons above
important.
The sympathetic aspect of this case unusually pa
thetic though it may be- is not paramount by
means. The crime committed by this culprit admits
of no extenuation. The embezzlement is only
feature not the most important one, in the moral
Indictment. Let this culprit go unpunished,
suit of restitution of the money he stole for base
purposes and the example will be tdeplorable. The
case would be travesty of justice.

THE MAKING OF MILLIONAIRES

How did William Ziegler acquire that immense for
of $3O000OO0? That thought has occurred to the
reader in connection with the pictures and de-
scrptive matter relative to the boy to whom the vast
sum was willed and the contest centering here. Zeg
er's name is familiar to many readers that of
enthusiast in Arctic exploration and particularly as
hacker of projects for discovering the north pole That
is about the of the popular knowledge concern
ing him.
The fact is that the Ziegler money purely and
solely product of printers ink judicously directed.
Examples of great fortunes made by newspaper adver-
tsing are quite common but the Zeger experience is
the most remarkable of all now remembered. This,
of the almost fabulous result-equivalent to
sixty of gold coin-and also because of the
ngy weak basis which the great fortune was built.
William Zeglers basis for his wealth
mon baking POWDER manufactured and sold in accord
ance with the business maxim-"It to advertise
good thing" The mark is hit by contemporary in
this application of the maxim to Zeger: advertising
is the baking powder that makes business rise in
the world"
There are dozens of baking powders on the market,
and yro in chemistry discover the constituents
and proportions of any of them The process employed
in manufacturing the stuff is simple. Nothing of bus
ness kind is easier than the starting of baking
powder enterprise. To make the business success,
however is quite another matter. Just there is where
the sagacty and judgment of William zeger assured
the fortune of his baking powder venture.
AS result of knowledge concerning Zeglers bust
ness methods it is said that "he wasted money
bill posters landscape destroyers in other unproft
able ways paid out millions of dollars for
in the newspapers, and his money came back to him
many times over"
In these days of strenuous business activity and
acute competition it is folly to expect business success
without the aid liberal newspaper advertising Any
other kind of advertising is either thrown away
or Of very questionable value The theory followed by
William ziegler is recognized by nearly all classes
of business men the only pointing directly to
success. It may be tersey embodied in this sentence:
Waste no money in paste but use printers ink, ju
dciously but largely in the advertising columns of
reputable newspapers"
