WILLIAMS MUST
FORFEIT HIS LIFE
FOUND GUILTY, HE SHIELDS HIS
PARENTS.
Disgrace Accruing from Murder He
Committed, He Bears Alone-Sen-
tence of Death Passed Upon Him at
Night Session of Court-Strange
Woman Tells Him "'Good-by''

William Williams is guilty of the
murder of John Keller and must forfeit
his life. The date of his execution will
be fixed by the governor Of Minnesota.
Shortly after IL last night the jury,
after celebrating for six hours, filed
county courthouse. The defendant and
his counsel were in their accustomed
places, and the man accused of two MIR
ders waited with apparent calmness for
the announcement Of his fate. When
the clerk read the verdict of guilty, the
prisoner did not even change expression.
County Attorney Kane moved imme-
date sentence, and the convicted man
without hesitation, stepped to the bar.
He refused. to tell the name of his par
ents or their residence, and had nothing
to say as to why sentence should not be
passed upon him. Judge Lewis then
proceeded in the formal way to con-
denim the prisoner to be changed by the
neck until he is dead.'
When Williams was led out Of the
courtroom and back to his cell, in
murderer's row. he was followed by
mysterious woman, who has been in
constant attendance at the trial, and
who has taken strange interest in the
defendant. Her identity is unknown,
but it is believed that she is religious
fanatic, who has been sending him spir-
itual letters for the past few weeks.
When the party reached the Jail, the
woman rushed up to the prisoner. She
said: Good bye, Bill,' and disap-
peared in the darkness.
Yesterday sessions were entirely
and the charge of the court. F. Clarke,
for the defense, dwelt strongly upon the
incompetence Of his client, and argued
that the shooting Of Keller was the re.
suit of emotional insanity. County At.

that had been introduced, showing a

Keller and his mother. He laid con
siderable stress upon the defendant s
bad record, and his threatening letters
written to Keller were read.

RINKER DUBIOUS
ON CREEK PLAN
CITY ENGINEER HAS BEEN MAX
ING CLOSE OBSERVATIONS.
He Fears That Diversion Will Make the
Park Lakes too High-Also Believes
That the Natural Drainage Below Di-
version Point Will Still Keep the
Greek Going.

Andrew Rinker, city engineer, has
been spending two days In the field
with corps of engineers to ascertain
whether it is feasible to divert Bias
sett s creek into the chain of park lakes
and eventually into Minnehaha creek.
The purpose of the improvement is
three-fold, namely: to maintain high
stage of water in Cedar lake, Lake of
the Isles and Lake Calhoun and Har-
haha. creek, and to eliminate Bassett 8
creek inside the city limits, because it
is simply an open sewer.
Mr.. Rinker does not find the task an
easy one. Medicine lake, the source
of Bassett s creek, and the lakes in the
park system are full beyond their shore
lines. Bassett' s creek and Minnehaha
creek are more than bank full. The
high water at Calhoun is injuring the
boulevard, and washing away the soil
from the roots of the trees. The boule
ward around Lake of the Isles is also
being damaged. Minnehaha creek is
SO high that work on the Nicollet ave
nue. bridge has been suspended.
"All this has come to pass under
normal conditions,'' explained Mr.
Rinker today. "Now, what will hap
pen if Bassett' IS creek is turned int
the lake system? Where shall be store
| the water after we divert lt7 1T any
more water should be turned Into thu
lakes, the damage would be greatly in
creased.
eff we should make large storag
reservoir of Medicine lake, we woul'
also be storing up trouble. When tn
lake is high, the hay meadows surround
ing are full of water and if the hig
stage is maintained, it is plain that tn
farmers cannot cut any hay. Naturally
they could claim damages and we woul
have the same trouble as the count,
has had in connection with the famou
Minnetonka dam out of which numerou
costly suits have grown. Undoubtedly
the damage would be greater than tn
value of the land that would be re
claimed by Strengthening the creek
"To eliminate Bassett s creek is no
an easy matter. 1t is proved by meas
urement that there is more water in tn
creek one mile below the proposed poin
of diversion than at the latter poin
This is to be expected, for, leavin
Sweeny. Twin and Keegan s lakes OF
of consideration, the creek also drain
big swamps.
NTo divert Bassett's creek is on
thing, but to provide safeguards agains
future damage by high water is quit
another problem, and I have not "
: solved it. -

MUST TURN OYER $500
OR GO TO COUNTY JAIL

The maze of entanglements surround
ing the affairs of Joseph Cisarslzy was
summarily disposed of today IN the
United States court of bankruptcy by
Referee O. G. Merriman. He issued an
order for Cisarsky to turn over $500
forthwith to Oscar Ertsgaard, appoint
ed receiver. In case the money is not
turned over, Cisarsky will be commit
ted to the county jail for contempt
of court. This is the second time in
the history Of the court that such an
order has been issued.
The lawyers for the creditors, among
whom are some Of the largest dealers
at the Central market, are Charles Fow-
Ter, w. e. Furst and Dan E. Richter.
This morning, when Cisarsky was on
the stand, they attacked his evidence
and impeached the witnesses, who de-
clared that the money had been stolen
from a bureau drawer. When Captain
Norman issued the order he said that
it was a plain case Of conspiracy to
conceal the money. Cisarsky, who was
a meatdealer on the "row,' failed for
about $4,000.

MERRY:G0.R0UND
MADE ALICE Ill

Medical science has not yet tabu-
lated all of the symptoms Of the con-
sequence Of ride on a dizzying ca
rouselle, SO physicians at the city hos
pital were not certain, when they dis
missed Alice Hoagland this morning,
whether or not her indisposition could
be debited to the nickel which the
merry go-round conductor credited to
his institution last night.
. The policeman, who found the girl
on the steps of a carpenter shop near
Lake street and Blaisdell avenue last
night, didn It believe her story that the
merry go-round was solely responsible
for her illness, and summoned a patrol
wagon, and had her taken to the hos
pital. He feared she had taken poison,
but at the hospital it could not be def.
nitely determined just what was the
trouble, so the story of the merry go
round was accepted. The girl is 1S and
lives with her parents at 1916 Clinton
avenue.

STUDENT ETHICS
WARMLY DEBATED
GLASS PERFORMERS GET BUSY AT
THE GUS
Gopher Boards Conceptions for the
Year Book Vehemently Denounced
Glass Directs It to Apologize to the
Kappa Girls-Managing Editor Tells
of Some Peculiar Revenue.

With 5000 in the class treasury
turned in by the board Of editors Of the
1906 Gopher, the members of the junior
class at the university refuse to pay
for the tickets to Washington avenue
variety theater, used by the artist of
the book, in obtaining a reproduction OF
the theater curtain for ''josh' fea-
ture of the junior annual.
At meeting of the class yesterday,
not only did the Gopher board come in
for scathing denunciation by certain of
the class reformers who harped on the
vulgarity'' of many of the concep-
tions of the board, but an apology to
the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority was
ordered by majority vote Of the class,
who expressed it as their belief that
even tho the young ladies Of the soror-
Of their chapter picture in the book, this
did not justify the Gopher board in
running the chapter picture of a GER
tain men s fraternity in it's place label
ed with the names Of the girls.
No mention was made at the class
meeting of the "'Wine, Women and
Song,,'' and ''The High Rollers, - two
burlesque literary features Of the book,
but it was evident that the students,
who were allotted speaking parts in the
casts Of these productions did not ap-
preciate the honor, for a motion was
made that the board be censured by the
class on the ground that many Of the
things in the Gopher were indicate
and indecent. This motion was lost
after a heated discussion, in which the
ideas Of the juniors in regard to ethics
and propriety were shown to differ ma
terially.
The meeting was called primarily fol-
the purpose Of listening to report from
the auditing board selected by the class
to audit the Gopher accounts, and the
business end Of the meeting was not
devoid of excitement. Before the re
port of the committee could be read
the managing editor of the book rose
and told the class that he had withheld
1925, received from a downtown photo
graph firm. This money was given hin
J by the members Of the firm, who de
clared that they had been benefited b,
, the Gopher patronage to this extent
, and he announced that he was willin,
to turn the amount over to the class O
! back to the firm as the class saw fit. H

HAMMERING AT

STRONG ATTEMPT TO FLOOD MAR.
KET IN MINNEAPOLIS
More Than Two Hundred Cars Were
Thrown into the City This Morning
Time, It Is Thought, Will Be Too
Short for the Market Gamblers to
Accomplish Their Purpose.

Men who fought the Gates corner in
Chicago and put that plunger to the
bad, are now working hard to smash
the price of Minneapolis May wheat by
flooding this market. They have only
eight days yet to work in, and holders
OF May believe they cannot, do it in
SO short a time. Nevertheless, they
threw 200 cars into Minneapolis this
morning. A year ago today, with the
receipts were 80 cars. The excess to-
day represents wheat rushed >up here
under the cut rates of the Rock Island
and Great Western roads, by Chicago
shorts, and also considerable country
wheat put away in the bins for long
holding, but drawn out by the high
price in Minneapolis.

have stocks of No. northern wheat

apolis. One large terminal elevator
company bought 10000 bu at the price

and a 14-year-old boy were fishing in
the Minnesota river yesterday. When
about seventeen miles above the ferry
at Fort Smelling, Clark had occasion
to- cut piece Of wood with his pocket
knife. &. The blade y slipped and sank
deep into his left leg above the knee,
severing, an artery.oty.. n.,.
ton, twisted a h&ndkerchief about his
leg and the two started down the river
in the boat, the boy rowing. On the
way Clark tainted several times from
weakness and loss Of blood. He was
almost in collapse when he arrived at
the Fort.
