In view of the fact that no more holi-

UNKNOWN PROVES TOO
FAST FOR MUNROE
Y. M. C. A. Athletes Entertain
Visitors With Burlesque
Exhibition

"Jack Munroe" was clearly out
pointed by a brilliant Unknown when
the big fight was finally pulled off last
night in st. Paul. Before the police
interfered in the middle of the ninth
round the miner was all in, sparring
wild and utterly unable to defend him
self.
A decided innovation at the local
who formed part of the great crowd.
Several hundred young women and
more than a dozen children occupied
prominent seats when "Munroe" made
his bow at the rooms Of the Y. M. G. A.
He was introduced by his trainer, Prof.
Carl Rothfuss. Men with their money
on the miner were disappointed at his
comparatively feeble physique. But his
chest, which protruded at least four
teen inches, gave promise Of staying
power that failed to develop.
At the last moment telegram was
read announcing that Corbett was
showed up near Minneap polls, and that,
not to disappoint the ladies and gen
tlemen, 'Munroe'' would box" with
all comers. He. promised $500 to any
man that could stay in the ring and
live' after the tenth round.
The challenge was accepted from the
gallery by a Weary Willie whose name
is said to be Ben Ferris He proved
himself a wonder. His Japanese re-

he turned a back somersault whenever
he got a solid tap on the jaw or the

real things in America sit up.
At the central station "Munroe" gave

Social Side of Life
The theaters had matinees; private in
formal receptions were not far between
throughout the residence districts; many
young folk went a-shating. But public
entertainments were few yesterday out

Judge Kelly, in charging the grand
Jury yesterday, called particular at
tention to the claim of Frank Haskell,
representative elect, that an attempt
was made to bribe him in the sena-
torial contest, and deplored strongly
the fact that there is strong proba-
bility that the legislature will abolish
the grand jury system.
Taking the position that there is
considerable doubt whether a crime
was committed by the person alleged
to have offered the bribe to Haskell,
the court holds if such a construction
of the law is found correct the attention
of the legislature should be called to
the fact, that it may so amend the
law SO that it will be crime to offer a
bribe to a members elect of the legis-
lature or other officer, as we'll as after
he has taken office. The charge is
that the jury shall consider the ques-
tion.
Speaking of the possible abolition of
the grand jury system, Judge Kelly
said that he viewed with alarm the
action that would entirely do away
with the system. He took the position
that the law guarantees that no man
shall be deprived of his liberty with
out concurrence by jury of his peers,
and that he believed the strength and
guard of citizens of all and every walk
of life lies in the jury system.
NJ F. Kain was selected as foreman
of the jury, the following reporting,
the court not ordering the issuance of
attachments for the persons of those
who failed to report: M. F. Kahn,
James A. NOVEL;, William O'Donnell,
Anf1 f1ar1Y. ID
William f. Peet, Theodore A. Schulze,
Charles E. Stowel, Grant P. Wagner,
George A. Doran, l.. B. Newman,
Charles Orsinger, Ernest B. Putnam,
Charles r. Pease, wellington Penning-
ton, Adolph T. RoSen. Frank J. Schlick
and Chester r. Smith. The first regu-
lar session of the jury will be held
Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at
which time it will begin it's investiga-
tions.
Judge. Kelly's charge on the points
noted follows:
Fears End of Grand Jury System
'It may be, gentlemen of the grand
jury, that in the wisdom of the law
makers of this state the grand jury as
an arm of the public service shall pass
by, and it may possibly be that this
Will be the last time that it will be my
honor to address a grand jury in Ram
sey county, because, as you all know,
the people have adopted an amend
ment to the constitution which places
in the legislatune the power of doing
away in a measure with the grand Jury
system.
'The great charters of English liber-
ties, forced from King John in the year
1915, contains these golden words:
That no man shall be deprived of
life, liberty or property, or In any way

proceeded against except it be by the
Judgment of his peers or the law Of the
land
Trial by jury, the inception of which
antedated Magma Charta until it's
origin is lost, became thus crystallized
into English law, and has descended
as, in my Judgment, precious heri-
tage to all English speaking people for
all time
"And /, for one, view with alarm any
attempts to break away from the cid
standards either by the abolition of the
grand jury or by the curtailment of the
petit jury, because / believe firmly
: that in the jury system has always
lain the strength and the guard for the
citizens of all and every rank of life.
Refers to Haskell Incident
Now, gentlemen, do not know that
there is anything of especial note that
feel it is my duty to call to the at
tention of this grand jury. except pos
sibly one or two matters that have
come to my knowledge through the
public prints.
1T has appeared in the public press
of this city and county that a gentle
man, member-el of the next legis-
lature of the State of Minnesota, has
said in effect that certain persons have
approached him and offered him money
Tor a certain consideration. While as
to that matter, the manner in which
that matter has been stated in the
press is concerned, there may be grave
doubts whether that particular trans
action, If it occurred, constituted q
public offenSe, and there may be grave
doubt whether, under the peculiar Ian
guage of the statutes of this state, it
is public offense to approach an Off
er-elect, before he shall take office,
and offer him corrupt considerations
for doing of something that pertains to
his office when in Office, but if that
be so. it is high time that the atten4l
ton of the legislative body should be
directed to a manifest omission in the
law of the state.
For it seems to me that it is a
travesty upon all ideas Of justice and
decency to say that man who has
been elected to Representative county in
the legislature Of the state, or in any
other public place in the state, should
be from the time of his election and
until he qualities for Office, simply a
private citizen, in the sense that he
may be corrupted without offending
against the law.
any corrupt consideration for the pur-
pose of influencing the action of any
officer in his official character. And
If anything of that kind has taken
place in this country that is triable
within the country, If any crime against
this law has been committed, or shall
hereafter be committed, charge you
as citizens and conservators of the
peace and good morals of the county
to look well to it that the offenders
be brought to Justice

American colony, officials and diplo-

Miss Porter and DR.. Mende, who were
present, received Congratulations upon
their engagement.
During President Loubefs reception
at the Elysee palace, the president ex-
pressed great regret at Gen. Porter's
approaching retirement, and urged him
to reconsider, as he had hoped Gen.
Porter would remain through the rest
of his president Loubet's) term. Gen
Porter acknowledged the presidents
cordial appeal, but said family and
business reasons compelled him to re-
turn to the United States.
