DIRECTORS DIDN'T KNOW
G.. w. BATCHELDER TESTIFIES TO
THIS EFFECT IN THE TRIAL OF
T. B. CLEMENT. 4@.

George W. Batchelder, the oldest Of
the directors of the wrecked Faribault
bank, today told in the trial Of T. B.
Clement at ST. Paul, the story of the
gradual realization by the board that
the affairs of the bank were not as they
should be. Like all the other directors
who have testified, he sWore that he
tions of which Mr.. Clement IS accused
of wrongfully entering until-the doors
of the bank were closed. The first in
timation that he or any Of the other
directors of the institution had of Mr.
Clement IS investment in the bonds of
the Desota fruit farm enterprise was
in the report Of the controller Of cur
rency of March, 1904.
In that report and entry appeared ref
the bank Previous to that report the
entry had always read stocks and Sc
curities
The witness went to Judge Buckham
and asked him to see Mr. Clement about
these entries and it was then discov-
cred that the bonds were those of the
DesOto company.
Unofficially, Mr.. Batchelder informed
Mr. Clement that he did not consider
gested that it would be good thing to
reduce the bank s holdings of them.
When the next report came out, it
was noticed that the holdings Of bonds
had been reduced to the extent of
$50, 900. Nothing official was done
about the bond matter until Deem
Der, when each director received notice
from the controller Of the currency that
a letter had been sent to Mr. Clement,
concerning which it would be well for
the directors to see him. A meeting of
the directors was held and the letter
proved to be a communication in which
among several other things of minor
Importance it was stated that the bank
held too many bonds "of uncertain
character, and that these had not
been properly transferred to the bank.

Minneapolis September wheat sold up

Later the market doomed. Broom

takes very, serious view of the Rus

The fact that the, Paris bourse was
only slightly. affected by the news made
1t look as tho the Situation might not

'MINNEAPOLIIANS
MAY Be D.EPORTED
CANADIANS JEALOUS OF THEIR
n SUCCESS IN THE DOMINION.
I. McMichael and His Son, Formerly Of
This City, and L. P. Humes, formerly
Of st. Paul, Center Of Latest Attack
on 'Americanization" of Telegraph
Company.

If the present agitation in favor Of
a rigid enforcement of the Canadian
alien labor act is successful and deporta-
lions are ordered, two former Minnie
apOlltanS and a former st. Paul resident
will be in line for removal. I. Ne
Michael, former district superintendent
OF the Western Union and for many
years stationed in Minneapolis, has been
mentioned in the debates in the Cana
dian parliament as one Of the offensive
aliens taken into the country to replace
Canadians. He is now general manager
OF the Great Northwestern Telegraph
company at Toronto, replacing II. P.
Dwight of that city.
1t is claimed also that in violation
Of the law, S. B. McMichael formerly
OF Minneapolis, and son Of I. McMich-
ael, has been taken into Canada from
Chicago and made general superintend-
ent at Toronto, and that L. P. Humes,
formerly Of st. Paul, went into the
country under contract and was given
system -
The matter was the subject Of warm
debate in Ottawa last Monday, F. D.
Monk, member, being particularly &C
tive in the debate and complaining of
what he termed the 's,Americanizing'7
OF the Great Northwestern company.
The Minnesota men were particularly
mentioned as incidents in the alleged
systematic violation of the Canadian
alien labor act, inasmuch as some of the
most important positions in the com
pany had been given to them. A strong
effort is being made by certain ele-
ment in the government to exclude high
grade American managers who are taken
in for responsible positions. American
managers on the Pere Marquette rail
road have been ordered deported and
the same effort is now being made in
connection with other lines.

HUSBANDS DEATH
FOLLOWS SUICIDE
WIFE KNEW HE WOULD DIE, so
SHE KILLED HERSELF.
While William Adamson Lay at Death IS
Door at st. Mary's Hospital, Mrs.
Adamson Drank Poison and Leaped
Into the Riverside Had Threat
ened to Do It.

Before the body of William Adamson,
who died at st. Mary s hosuital this
forenoon, had been removed from the
deathbed, the police started a diligent
search for the body Of his wafe, Grace
Adamson, who drank poison and then
leaped from the steel arch bridge last
evening.
The young woman faced death rather
than live a widow. Hearing few days
ago that her husband could never re-
cover from the effects of an operation
she told her friends that she would take
her own life. as soon as he ceased to
live. Yesterday she started to his bed
side but, saying that she did not have
the heart to see her husband near to
death, she gave up her purpose. In
stead she went to the bridge and there,
after several minutes of brooding and
wavering, dank the poison. In an
other moment she was at the mercy
Of the rushing water.
The tragedy occurred at 6 o clock,
when, the bridge was thronged with pc
destrians on their way home, yet no
one saw her take her life but J. H.
Martin, who lives at the Commercial
hotel on Nicollet island.
Mrs. AdamsOn spent Yesterday after
noon with a friend, Miss Pauline Fay
at III First avenue S. Several times
she said that if her husband did not re-
cover, she. would commit suicide. She
parted with her sister in a respondent
mood at $3.50. Half an hour later she
had said good bye to the sister, she
leaped over the railing Of the bridge.
She was seen standing there by Jo-
seph P. Marticco, who lives at Sc Cen
trail avenue. AS he passed her she had a
bottle in her hand, and when he reached
the end Of the bridge she raised it to
her lips. "
J. H. Martin who saw her climb the
railing and fall was in his room at the
hotel; He ran down stairs and calling
of the bridge. The body of the woman
rose to the surface once, but disap-
peared in moment making rescue i'm
possible.
There is no doubt in the minds Of
the police Or the relatives Of Mrs.
Adamson that it was she who jumped
from the bridge. Since Mrs. Adamson
and her husband returned from trip
to New Orleans several weeks ago she
has been living with her own parents
at 28lO Twelfth avenue S. They have
not seen her for two days, but knew
she was respondent and her death was
no surprise to them.
Altho the police are working to find
the body they have little hope of sue
cess. The water is, unusually high and
it is feared that the body was carried
far below the city during the night.
