TWO MEN HOLD UP
CONDUCTOR OF CAR
Bold Robbers Board Car In
Minneapolis and Rob
Grew

The first street car holdup which the
city of Minneapolis has had for sew
eral years occurred about midnight
last night at Minnehaha and Thirty
second avenue. Conductor Edward
Kress and Motorman Alfred Zellet
were relieved of $50 in cash and two
watches.
The car had just pulled on the Y
and was waiting for the time to start
back on the return trip. Two young
fellows, well dressed, clambered on
and began TO chat pleasantly with the
trainmen. They seemed to be very
good fellows"
The conductor turned to the motor
man to remark that il was time to
start, and just as he turned again he
found himself looking into the barrel
OF big revolver which one of the
holdup men carelessly displayed. An
other gun was flashed on the motor
man, and the two strangers proceeded
leisurely to relieve the trainmen of
money and watches. With a warning
not 10 make any outcry the robbers
jumped off of the car and disappeared.
On the way back the first passenger
who got in the car rendered Conductor
Kress a silver dime IN payment of his
fare. So completely had he been cleaned
out by the robbers that he could not
make the change, and the passenger
rode free. There is no clew to the rob-
bers

ID. A. X. Vice Regent

WASHINGTON, April 24.-At a
meeting today of the national board
of management of the Daughters of the
American Revolution Mrs. Donald Nc
Lean, the newly elected president gen.
eral, refused to recognize Mrs. Walter
H. Weed, of Washington, d. c.. as the
duly elected vice state regent of Mon
tana. Mrs. Mclean holds that Mrs.
Weeds election had not been confirm
ed by the congress, and Mrs. Mclean
said she would not act on the matter
until the stenographic report of the
proceedings had been Transcribed.
During the congress just closed Mrs.
Amos G.. Draper, who managed Mrs.
McLean's campaign, declared she had
letters from Montana proving that Mrs.
Weed was not the choice of the ma
Jority of the chapters of the state for
vice regent. Mrs. McLean's supporters
say Mrs. Weed was not recognized be-
cause she is not and does not claim to
be resident of Montana Mrs. Weed
managed the campain of Mrs. George
NJ. Sternberg of this city, who was a
candidate for president general.

Beautiful Sentiments Tickle Him
MUM NOVGOROD. April "a. = A
farmer named Zoorikin and his en-
ployes have sent touching address to
Emperor Nicholas expressing in simple
language their heartfelt sympathy with
the grand czar" in the unhappy mo-
ments he is enduring and completes
faith that the clouds will pass away.
The address concludes:
We pray night and day for you and
your family

WARSAW. April 24.-The socialistic
leaders of Poland and Lithuania have
issued a manifesto to workmen and
peasant laborers directing them not to
work on May l as a protest against
existing conditions. The manifesto
concludes with the hope that this will
be the last May l under despotic gov-
ernment. The holidays passed off
Quietly. The garrison has been heavily

Had No Orders
ST. PETERSBURG, April 24-The
official telegraph agency publishes the
following note:
I'VE are in a position to assert that
there is no truth in the announcement
issued by the Tokyo foreign office con-
corning Rojestvensky's fleet The
French governor general of Indo China
addressed no request to the Russian
government, nor was any demand made
upon Rojestvensky to leave territorial
waters, as he doubtless most punctili-
ously observed all the rules of neu-
trality.''

DUEL BRINGS DEATH
North Dakotans Fight Out
Their Differences

Special to The Globe
GRAND FORKS, N. D., April 24.-At
farm house. midway between Willow
City and Calmer postoffice, duel was
fought last evening, as a result of
which William Clark is dead and John
Coldmayer is badly injured by bullet
wounds. The men, who are farmers,
had been drinking in a store at Calmer
during the afternoon. and in the even
ing they started to drive to Willow
City. On the way they stopped at a
farm house for supper, and while thefe
they became engaged in a quarrel 9th
er men were present, but it cannot be
learned what the quarrel was about.
The two went out to the yard to
fight it out, followed by others who
appear to have offered no objection,
though it seems to have been under
stood that only fists were to be used.
Scarcely had the fight begun before
both men drew revolvers, and several
shots were exchanged in rapid success
sion. The witnesses fed for safety and
Clark fell dead after the third shot.
Coldmayer fell with one bullet in his
scalp and another in his leg.
A Doctor and an officer were sent for to
Willow City and Coldmayer, whose leg
wound is regarded as dangerous, was
arrested and placed under treatment

Witness Will Tell of Seeing DR.. Koch
Turn on the Light just Before the
Murder---Gen. ChiIds, Opening for
the State, Traces New Route for
the Escaping CriminaI--.Gate Posts

the state went on the theory that Koch
went home by the creamery. The route
by Dahm's place is not the one where
the hat was picked up.
The attorneys for the defense are not
at all disturbed by the new evidence
or the state, 1t would seem from con-
versation with them. Said w. D. Alb
bott this evening:
1T took three Or four months for
Mrs. Dahm to come forward with her
story, although everybody in New Ulm
was Interested, and gave every bit of
light they could throw on the case.
The girl who is to testify to seeing
Koch get something in his office was a
domestic In the house of a member of
the citizens committee. This member
was hunting all over New Ulm for evil
dence against Koch, and 1T is strange
that he did not discover what the girl
in his own household Knew until four
months after the occurrence. Why did
he not produce this evidence at the
New Ulm trial? The scrubwoman was
taken soon after the murder to the
police station and shown the hammer
found in Gebhard's office. She then
declared she had never seen It before
The defense is not losing any sleep
over the states new evidence"
Jury Is Completed
1He jury was completed today, and
Gen. Childs made his opening argu-
ment to the jury. The taking of evil
dence will begin tomorrow morning
The eleventh juror was selected this
forenoon, and the twelfth this after
noon. The eleventh man was A. A.
Just, a Rapidan farmer, and the last
one was Albert Hagerman, a young
farmer residing in Mankato township
In order to secure the twelve men
who will try DR.. Koch there were 157
talesmen called, of whom IA were ex-
cused and 143 examined. Nearly five
days have been occupied in the tedious
task, and when the last man was sworn
all in the court room heaved a sigh Of
relief. This morning Judge Cray or
dered that a fifth special venire for
twenty talesmen be ordered and re-
turnable at o'clock. Four out of this
bunch were examined. The state in all
used Z peremptory challenges and the
defense IL.

HALL.GllMAN SUIT
IS ON ONCE MORE
Woman Claims to Be Tea Merchants
Adopted Daughter

NEW YORK, April 24.-The suit OF
Helen Potts Hall, who claims to be the
adopted daughter of the late George F.
Gilman, the millionaire tea merchant,
to recover from George E. Hartford,
partner of Gilman, one-third of $780,
600 which he received in the sale of the
business, was begun before Justice
Fitzgerald in the supreme court today.
Mrs. Hall alleges that as q result of
a settlement Hartford obtained $780,
600 for the business; that before en-
tering into that agreement Hartford
agreed TO give her one-third of what
he got in settlement if she would with
draw her claim and he failed to keep
his promise.
The defendant alleges in his answer
that the agreement was obtained by
fraud and deceit.
Mrs. Halls brother. Frederick Potts,
testified today that he told Mr.. Hart
ford's lawyer, soon after the death OF
Mr.. Gilman. that his sister would
claim the whole estate including the
tea business. The estate, he said,
would amount to about s2.O00,000

Special Cable to The Globe
TOKYO, April 25.-Two Japanese
torpedo boats, accompanied by Il
cruiser scout. We're fired upon by Ro-
Jestvensky's ships Saturday off Kam-
ranh bay. The fire was returned, and
one Russian vessel, believed to have
been cruiser, was disabled. The Jap
anese vessels then retired.
The governor of Hainan island has
wired the Chinese government that the
Baltic fleet, consisting of twenty-eight
vessels, is taking coal off the coast of
Hainan. 1t is stated at Hongkong that
the third Russian (Nebogatoff's) SQUAD
ron will join the Baltic fleet about Fri
day and that the Russians will make a
prolonged stay at Hainan island.
Japan is vigorously protesting
against the preparations for flight
from Shanghai of the Russian protect
ed cruiser AskOld. There are now
fifty-three ships altogether in the two
Russian squadrons, and 1t is believed
Admiral Rojestvensky will avoid bat
tie until combination is made and
the vessels all victualed.
Admiral Togo has instruction to
however, and it is hoped here that he
will bring about a battle within the
next forty eight hours.
Glad, but Regrets
The Japanese press is gratified that
France recognizes and undertakes to
observe her neutral obligations, there
by terminating a situation that was
exceedingly perilous. At the same time
great regret is expressed at the tardi-
ness OF the French action, since Ad-
miral Rojestvensky was thereby en-
abled TO derive all necessary advan-
tages from French hospitality and the
delay In obtaining justice has shocked
the sentiment of friendship which ia
pan is sincerely desirous of entertain
ing toward France. The presence of
the powerful Russian squadron in the
far eastern arena is considered to be
largely due to assistance rendered by
French disregard of neutrality.

Snecial to The Globe

Special to The Globe
MANKATO, Mimi, April 24.-The
state disclosed it's hand today in the
Koch case, and it was a stronger one
than it had at New Ulm on the first
trial of this celebrated case. 1t has
witnesses that it did not have then and
who are of first Importance in helping
to fasten the crime of the murder of
DR.. Gebhard on DR.. Koch. AS Gen.
Childs outlined the matter, the state
has strengthened its case at three i'm
portant points. All this has necessi-
tated the abandonment of one theory
held at the New Ulm trial.
A witness has been found who claims
she saw Koch enter his office between
8 and $3.50 the night of the murder, go
TO the corner of the room where he
kept hammer that tallies exactly with
the one found at the scene of the mur-
der, strike light, apparently take the
hammer down and put it in his pocket
and then put the light out. 1t is then
presumed he went across to the barber
shop, waited till the way was clear and
went up to Gebhard's office.
This hammer is to be identified by
the scrubwoman who cleaned Koch's
office shortly before the murder and
found and used it, 1t hung on the wall
in one corner, where witness says she
saw Koch get something a few mo-
ments before the murder. When she
scrubbed the office few days after the
tragedy it was gone.
Murderer's Supposed Route
The third point newly developed by
the state involves the route taken by
the murderer after leaving the Geb-
hard premises. Mrs. Dahm will testify
that some party a few moments before
10 ran through her yard toward the
Koch residence, using the private gate
and path often used by the Koch fam
lily, as the Dahms are tenants of the
Kochs. Fresh blood was found on the
gatepost in the morning where none
had been before. This is the most di-
rect road from Gebhard's office to the
Koch dwelling, and is the most likely
path Koch would have taken if he was
the murderer. At the New Ulm trial
