Requisition for Denny Granted.
Montana Stock Inspector asks Gov. Sarles to
Honor Request Of Gov. Poole for arrest of the
Minot Banker.

The governor of Montana asks Gov.
Sarles to sign extradition papers for w.
H. Denny mayor of Williston and cash
ier of the First National bank of that
town, on the charge of receiving stolen
horses and for conspiring in the stealing
of horses from the ranchmen of Valley
county.
Arguments pro and con in the matter
of the requisition were heard by Gov.
Sarles at his office Wednesday. The
case has now become celebrated in the
two states and the outcome will be
watched with interest. The Montana
stock interests seem to be in dead ear
nest and Denny would appear to have
on hand the fight of his life to keep out
of their clutches.
While Sheriff Griffith did not 60 into
details regarding the evidence which the
Montana men claim to have against
Banker Denny, it has been stated that
the evidence is largely in the shape of
alleged letters that were found on a
horse thief who was shot and killed by
one. of the many inspectors employed by
the big cattle and horse raisers of Mon
tana. At any rate they figure that the
evidence is sufficient to convict Denny
should he venture into Montana.
Bismarck, Nov. u: Gov. Sarles heard
the application of the governor of Mon
tana for the extradition of w. H. Denny
this afternoon and took the matter under
advisement Stock inspector Hall rep
resented Montana and Attorney Mid
dough of Devils Lake appeared for
Denny. The extraditionpapers charged
Denny with conspiring in Montana to
commit crime and that therefore he
was a fugitive from justice, which latter
charge was combatted by Denny's at
torney.
Nov. Ex-Governor Sarles today
granted the requisition of Governor
Toole for w. H. Denny. Stock Inspec-
tor Hall left on the west bound train this
afternoon for Helena, SO he said, which
seems long way round to Devils Lake
and Williston. Before leaving Inspector
Hall said he expected to clean up quite
bunch of North Dakota citizens before
long for completely in this noted case.

TAKE SPIN ON LAKE
Duluth Enjoys Novel NewYear's
Excursion

DULUTH, Mimi, Jan. 1.-The un-
usual spectacle of a New Years ex-
cursion on Lake Superior was what
thousands of Duluthians witnessed this
afternoon. Owing to the extreme mild
ness of the day and to the fact, that
there is no indication whatever of Ice
In the lake, score or more of repre-
sentative citizens chartered the steam
.er Annie l.. Smith and took a spin out
into the lake.
The two immense piers of the ship
canal were thronged with hundreds of
sightseers at the time, and as the
steamer left the harbor a shout went
up from every throat, hats and hand
kerckiefs were waved In the air in rec
ognition Of the unusual event.
Never In the history of the head of
the lakes has so mild New Years
day been witnessed. The streets of
the city are practically bare of snow
and pedestrians were out in full force
to enjoy the day. Thirty-four years
ago Jan. 1 no ice in the lake had yet
formed and a regatta was pulled off,
but the temperature was much lower
than today, it registering SO degrees
above at o'clock p. m.

which yielded and a heap of men and
women fell to the street.
In the front end of the car men and
women, seeing no escapes <through the
rear gate smashed the window glass
and climbed or jumped out of the car.
In climbing out of a window Jacob
Finger, seventeen years old, living at
$50 Randolph street, was pressed
against the sharp glass and his left
arm was badly cut. He hung with a
glass buried in his arm until a less
frightened passenger lifted him to the
street. The police ambulance took him
to the city hospital.
The fire started when, with a sudden
report in the front end of the car. a
fuse snapped and the motor burned.
The lights were suddenly extinguished
and in place of them there was an cleo
tr1cal display which circled about
through the car over the heads of the
terrified passengers. Curtains were set
af1re and the woodwork was singed.
The injured were taken to a drug
store, where their cuts were dressed.
Eight people were cut and as many
were severely bruised. No one was
seriously injured.

EPISCOPAL BISHOP
F[AYS HIGH GRIMES
Church and State Denounced
for Attitude Toward Guilty
Ones

BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 1. - Rt. Rev.
William Lawrence. Episcopal bishop
of Massachusetts, preached on Law
'lessness' at Trinity church today. The
bishop in part said:
We are told that in the United
States in three years have been killed
in murders and homicides $1,000 men
and women.
"A criminal now in a Boston jail.
condemned by a United States court,
awaits his release to take his seat by
the election of Boston's citizens as one
of the administrators of this city on a
board entitled by tradition honorable
1t is matter Of common belief that
great corporations have silent fund
for oiling the machinery of legislation
in their favor and that their officers of
high standing in our communities are
not unwilling to be ignorant as to how
the money is spent.
Church Negligent
Although the church is in many
ways more alive than ever to her duty
to the people and the upbuilding of
character, it must confess with shame
and sorrow that her garments are not
free from the stain of lawlessness.
Men who have stood high in parish
offices. women who are active in wor-
ship and good works, have been, and
still are, far from what they ought to
be in sustaining the highest standards
Of obedience to the laws of GOD and
man. 1t is the amusement of a scoffing
world; the inconsistency between our
faith and our deeds.
Ecclesiastical discipline is out of
date; it is no easier for the church to
prove moral delinquency than for the
state. Most of the lawless are left by
the church as well as the courts to
roam at large.
Communicates of the church today,
men and women, who in business and
social life are guilty Of acts against
moral and civil law and the healthy
conventionalities Of society, and are q
scandal to people of no faith, are drag
ging the Christian faith in the dust.
I'VE are all of us responsible, my
friends. Even if we have not that par
ticular form of sin, we have not so
sustained the character of our Chris
tian calling as to make such evils inn
possible in the church and good So
ciety. We lack moral courage, a con-
sistant determination. a readiness to
stand with the minority.
Il believe that skepticism is at the
bottom of much Of our lawlessness.
With a complete conservation Of all
the people at the church's altar, would
disband most of our police force, dis
miss the criminal court and open the
gates Of our prisons. A man of Chris
tian faith. living faith, sustains the
laws of God and Of the land"

READY FOR LAWSON
THE System" VIII Fight His
Attack on Copper
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
BOSTON, Mass, Jan. lit is learned
today that plans have been made by
the so-called Standard Oil Analga-
mated crowd of financiers whom
THOMAS w. Lawson calls 'the system"
to balk his next attack upon Amalga-
mated Copper and other stock Of the
Standard Oil group which he has an
nounced for this coming Tuesday.
Lawson stated that he would have an
other big advertisement in Tuesday
morning in the leading papers of the
United States and Europe, and the big
Wall street group, taking him at his
word, have fixed up deal to defeat
his scheme and pour millions of money
into the market If he tries to attack it
and bolster up stock in a way that will
discredft him forever, if possible. by
preventing any serious break. Evident
proof that Lawson is feared as dan
gerous enemy through his ability to
spoil their plans for rise in prices
was seen yesterday in the way ssthe
system" turned to the support of
Amalgamated, which, it is believed, is
to be the center of his attack. United
States Steel and Rock Island are un-
derstood to be weak points, and the
financiers responsible for the market
ing of these stocks were busy all day
yesterday planning to repel the ex-
pected attack Tuesday
1t is understood that J. P. Morgan
has instructed his brokers to protect
United States Steel from going to
smash at the cost of his entire for
tune, if necessary, though it is not be-
lieved that he will interfere if there are
only small recessions in prices.
Usually Lawson's raids are made
without warning and this public an
nouncement of his proposed move took
away the breath Of veteran operators
and leaves them with the uneasy feel
Ing that he may break out in some
other unexpected stock.

NEW WITNESS WILL
COM |RM MANS STORY
Mysterious Meyer Admits See
ing Caesar Young
Tragedy

JACKSONVILLE. Fla, Jan. Fol
lowing the somewhat sensational de-
velopment of the publication that w.
B. Meyers, a prominent naval stores
man of Jacksonville had stated to
Savannah, Ga, lawyer that he had wit
messed the shooting of Caesar Young,
and Meyers denial and assertion that
he was never in New York, followed
by published affidavit to the lawyer
in question, it now develops that Al
gernon c. Meyer was in New York at
the time and saw the shooting and that
he has given his testimony to District
Attorney Jerome.
Attempt to Find Meyer
Soon after the shooting IT was re-
ported that Algernon Meyer witnessed
the affair and at the time an attempt
was made to confirm the story. 1t
could not be done in New York for the
reason that Meyer had left New York,
and District Attorney Jerome had said
nothing concerning the testimony. 1t
could not be confirmed in Jacksonville
for the reason that Meyers where
abouts were not known to his mother,
who lives in Jacksonville while Mey-.
-ers has been living at Deland, Fla.
The story was dropped without fur
ther investigation until the story of
W. B. Meyers alleged connection with
the. case developed few days ago. 1t
was then that the Associated Press
correspondent ascertained the where
abouts of Algernon Meyer and asked
him direct concerning the matter. The
following reply was received:
WAS in New York, witnessed the
shooting, testified before Jerome, my
testimony being about the same as Nan
Patterson's. A. C. Never,
Meyer, it is believed, is the man
whom Martin Hazelton says, was
standing beside him when he saw
Caesar Young shoot himself. The
counsel for Nan Patterson has been
unable to locate this important witness
for the defense. Algernen Meyer is
not related to w. B. Meyers. whom
rumor has connected with the affair.

Maxwell Stevenson, of this city.
The accused chorus girls father vis-
tied Philadelphia on Saturday with

While no definite arrangements were
made or any contract entered into it

POLICE CHANGES
ARE DUE TODAY
Mayor Jones viii Announce a
Switch Among Higher
Officials

At noon today Mayor Jones will make
public some of the proposed changes in
the police department. 1t is unlikely that
more than one or two appointments will
be made today, but it is certain there
will be reassignment of some of the
higher officers of the department Some
OF the captains are certain to be reduced
in rank and possibly one or two will be
dropped from the force.
The reason for this change is to pro-
mote some of the younger and more ac-
tive officers to posts of greater response
bility.
Captains Are Worried
1t is almost certain that four of the
five precincts will have new commanding
officers.
1t is expected that George Sinclair or
Lieut.. George Riviere will be placed in
charge of the central precinct; that Lieut..
Patrick Quealey, of the second precinct,
will have charge of this precinct with
the rank of captain, and Patrolman John
Van Rickly will be made lieutenant. De-
tective- Mic Smith is slated for the cap
and either Capts. Sinclair or Riviere will
have charge in South Minneapolis. Capt.
II. i: Getchell vii remain in command of
the fifth.
If these changes are made it will mean
the reduction or removal of Capts. Cosk-
ran, Of the central precinct, Bosworth of
lne SECOND, kv1ttum, of the third, and
Helm. of the fourth. Some of these men
are likely to stay On the department, but
some of them will be relieved.
Today's list will include number of
dismissals and but few appointments.
VIII Outline Policy
When the list is made public, said a
man close to the administration, s'the peo-
pie will have an excellent opportunity to
learn the policy which the administration
proposes to follow There will. be no
wholesale dismissals. The mayor will
take his time and it probably will be
sixty days before the department is re-
organized"
There are about 225 policemen who are
awaiting with interest the publication of
the changes which the new mayor will
make today. Some men have received
notices of dismissal and they are not in
tereSted. So
Detective James Howard forestalled all
doubts as to his position by lresigning
exactly at the first stroke of the clock at
midnight Saturday night.
