PRAISES EVENING STATESMAN
T. G. Davies Says That as an Adver
Using Medium 1t Cannot be Ex-
celled.

Il must give the Evening Statesman
credit for being one of the best adver
tsing mediums l ever used" said T.
G. Davies, the real estate man, yes
terday, after he had announced that
he and his business associate, Harvey
Mcdonald, had sold the entire Bowman
tract of land, lying west Of the o. r. &
n. depo- and which had been on the
market less than a week. with the
exception Of a few circulars distrib-
uted, we used the Statesman exclu-
sively and it certainly brought the re-
sults.''
Mr.. Mcdonald echoed the sentiments
of Mr. Davies, last night saying that
the classified advertising that he has
used in the Statesman brought him
many replies daily. The Statesman
must have a wide circulation to bring
us the replies that it did, Mr.. Me-
Donald said.

ORDINANCE RAILROADED.

The public are no longer in doubt
regarding the position of portion OF
the city council. Last night it was
we'll demonstrated that even holder
tactics and politics than were ever
practiced in New York City are now
saddled upon our quiet inland town.
The expression, the public be damn
ed is what rooted the rascals out in
New York City and the council should
take warning when property owners
act under rules established by the
council, and come before them with
solid petition requesting that they be
treated honestly in paving matters.
1t has been plainly stated by certain
members of the council who nave been
leaders in promoting bitulithic pave
ment, that men who have accumu-
lated property should be the sole
judges of the kind of pavement laid
in front of their property. These coun-
cilmen were well satisfied to follow
this rule when bitulithic pavement
was petitioned for, but seem to forget
the rule when other kinds of pave
ment are asked for by property own
ers. The way in which the Fourth and
Elm street petition was handled by
certain members of the council last
night would make one suppose that
it was infected with leprosy.
Had the petition included bitulithic
the pet of these councilmen, no fault
would have been found with it.
The ordinance drawn by the city
attorney for the pavement Of this
street, which calls for the various kinds
of pavement, is fair and honest one
and satisfactory to the property own
ers who have camped in the council
chamber for the past month in antici-
patton of its Introduction.
But, alas for the bitulithic members
of the council, the ordinance includes
other bituminous pavements as we'll
as the bitulithic.
1t was therefore railroaded to the
judiciary committee to meet the fate
of many other petitions drawn for
the good of the people.
1t is rule of the council that all
ordinances shall pass through the
proper committee, but it became man.
itself last night than when bitulithic
ordinances were up for consideration
the rule was always waived, and
the ordinances were carried to final
passage without delay

DOESN'T VALUE GIFT
Historian McMaster Takes Fall
Out of Carnegie

PHILADELPHIA, April 2S.-Much
day by officials of the University of
Pennsylvania concerning Mr.. Carne-
gie's gift of $1O,O00,000 as a pension
fund for superannuated college pro-
fessors. Members of the administra-
ton department praised the gift.
Members of the teaching force viewed
the matter with disfavor. DR.. John
Bach McMaster, the historian, who
holds the chair of history, expressed
himself as directly opposed to the
principle of the gift. He said:
Il don't believe in this scattering of
Carnegie libraries over the country, as
he has been doing in the past few
years. 1t is not good thing, and L
don't like Mr.. Carnegie's methods. In
the first place l don't believe in pen
sion systems in general, and j am es
pecially opposed to them in the teach
ing profession 1t would be practical
ly the same thing as police pensioning
and il could not help but lower the
profession.
when one of us enters the teaching
profession we do not do ii with the
have an entirely different end in view.
This pension system will certainly
lower our standard. l believe that in
this and in all professions, as in busi-
ness, each man should stand on his
own basis and on that alone. Per-
sonally, would not accept such a pen
sion. but 1 think that it must prove ac-
ceptable to the majority of the profess
sion. We have Carnegie libraries
and Carnegie heroes Now we are to
have Carnegie professors 1 do not
like it."

WHY DIETz PERSISTS
Cannot Get Justice In Courts,
His Brother Says

MADISON,Wis. April 2S.-Wm. Dietz.
up the Mississippi Logging company's
logs at the Cameron dam on Thornap-
pie river for over year, appeared be-
fore the assembly committee on lumber
and mining today. Mr.. Dietz said:
"A poor man cannot get justice in
the courts as against a wealthy cor
poration. That is why my brother re-
fuses to submit this controversy be-
tween him and the Mississippi Logging
company to the courts"
Two conflicting abstracts of title, re-
peated denunciations, denials and de-
ifs were features of the hearing.
Attorney Connor, for the logging
company. said that Dietz sees a good
opportunity to make a big stake out of
the company and is willing to risk his
life for it. He declared that the COM
pany's abstract was valid.
William DietZ argued to the contrary
and said his brother was determined to
enforce his rights and would do so. A
bill is now before the legislature to an
null the franchise for the dam.

en- United States officers and deputies

at Madison on Monday. He Is to show
cause why the injunction restraining
him from interfering with the driving

made permanent. The officers are

HEARST GETS TOWNE
Obtains $4,000 Judgment on
PrOmissOry Note
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
NEW YORK. April 2S.-Justice Ver-
non M. Davis, sitting today in part 1,
special term of the supreme court, or
dered judgment in favor of Will
lam r. Hearst in an action brought
by Hearst to recover from ex-senator
Charles A. Towne $4,000 and interest
loaned by Hearst on a promissory note
Feb. 16, 1904. The complaint sets
forth that payment on the note has
been refused. The defense put in by
Towne is that Hearst lent the money
with the understanding that the bor-
rover shoIld write various articles for
publication owned by Hearst in Wash
ington. Towne says he was not asked
to write these articles, although he was
ready to perform the services as
agreed. Justice Davis, in awarding
judgment against Towne, says:
Allegations of the complaint are
substantially admitted by the answer,
and there are no allega tons of new
matter that amount to a defense. I'm
der the circumstances the plaintiff is
entitled to a judgment"
The note transaction was made
when Hearst was making an active

tial nomination

A LITTLE TALkSN

GUNSHU PASS, Manchuria, April
2S.-Gen. Linevitch granted an inter-
view at his headquarters here today,
in which he expressed himself as
highly satisfied with the condition of
the Russian army and it's readiness to
assume the offensive. He manifested
emphatic regret for the retreat from
Mukden. The new commander in chief
believes that the peril to the army at
that juncture was overestimated and
that the day was far from being lost
when the retreat was ordered. Gen.
Linevitch exclaimed:
Il would certainly not have retreat
ed. l realize that it is easy now to
pass judgment upon accomplished
facts; but, nevertheless, l repeat 1
would not have retreated. l persuaded
Kuropatkin to stand at Tie pass and
we halted there for a time. We could
have remained, but on account of GER
tain administrative factors he consid-
cred it inexpedient and the retirement
was continued"
Gen. Linevitch discussed the Gripen-
burg incident, taking the part of Gen.
Kuropatkin as against his former sub
ordinate. The correspondent later
lunched with the staff, where Gen.
Linevitch warned his officers against
forces. He favored rather concentra-
ton, even of cavalry.

dazed and everybody in the courtroom
held his breath to hear what would
come next. 1t appeared that Mrs. Kasz
had not seen the hammer since two
weeks after the. murder. Officers knew
then that she scrubbed DIR. Gebhards
office, but did not know that she per-
formed the same service for Koch and
they showed the hammer to her and
asked her whether she had seen it in
Gebhards office. She replied that she
had not
Was Most Positive
Afterwards it came to them that
Mrs. kasz had told certain parties
that when she saw the hammer she
was startled and could have picked it
out of thousand as being the one
that hung in Koch's office. Chief
klause and Detective Ridell saw her
and she told them that the hammer
she was shewn was the one that hung
in KOch's office. They were dunn
founded today at her failure to so
identify it and laid it to strong feeling
and pressure at New Ulm.
The attorneys for the defense claim
to have heard from time to time that
Mrs. Kasz would not identify the ham,
mer, and claim not to have been sur
prised. Mrs. KasZ still claims that the
hammer she was shown was one that
never to have had such hammer.
Wanted to Spare Koch
The other sensation of the day was
young Dahm's testimony, positively
Identifying the hammer as the one he
had frequently used while working the
past six winters at the Koch home He
gave as his reason for keeping his
knowledge to himself until now that
he had known Koch long and inti-
mately and did not want to testify
against him.
Egdar Dingler, who also identified
the hammer as one he had seen at the
Koch barn, added little to his testi-
mony as given at the New Ulm trial
in that he had seen Koch Sr. pull
nails out of board with it. Among
those present at the trial today were
w. l. Eibner and f. H. Retzlaff of the
New Ulm citizens committee.
