CARRIES DYNAMITE
Police Are Curious as to This
Mans History


CHICAGO, in. 20.-The police have
arrested man who gives the name of
Jack Williams and will hold him
until they are convinced that he is not
wanted for some serious crime This
afternoon while riding in an omnibus
Williams seized pocketbook from a
woman and attempted to get. away
with it. In jumping from the rear of
the omnibus his coat caught on the
handle of the door and he was thrown
to the pavement and dragged in the
mud
When his coat gave way he sprang to
his feet and ran, but was caught by
an officer and arrested after a hard
fight. When searched magazine re-
volver, two knives and razor were
found on him. In addition he had in
his pockets two chemists testing tubes
filed with a mixture of nitro -glycerin
and dynamite. How this mixture miss
ed an explosion while Williams was
being dragged through the street is a
mystery. He declares that he is from

Prof. Hays May Stop the Aai-

Legislation
Globe Special Washington serxic.

1417 G Street
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 20.-Sur-
prise has been caused in Washington
by the unexpected opposition which
comes from agricultural department
scientists to the proposed Importation
of Canadian wheat for seed. Prof. w.
M. Hays, assistant secretary of agri-
culture, lately of the. Minnesota ex-
pertinent station and one of the best
known experts on wheat in the country,
says that 1t Is all "a mistake to import
the Canadian wheat. He adds that this
course would tend to reduce the acreage
and undo all the labor of the wheat
breeders during the past ten years.
The position taken by Prof. HAYS
may result in the abandonment of ef-
forts to secure legislation permitting
the importation of seed wheat free of
duty. This remains to be determined.
Members of congress have had doubt
cast on their minds by this eomplica-
ton. Prof. Hays says 1t would be
wiser to select the large grain by
screening from the rusted and shrunk-
en- grain, providing it is grain that has
been bred at the state experiment sta
tions. This will yield better and be
more apt to prove resistant to rust than
the fair looking Canadian grain Going
back to the old-fashioned fife, the yield
would be reduced 20 per cent.
farmers and grain men should be
able to find stocks of these good home
bred wheats in the bins,'' said Prof.
Hays. .'There were many counties
around the infected region where the
grain is good. Wheat which will weigh
more than fifty pounds and has not been
bin-burned is better than common Ca

STATE DRAINAGE Law
WIPED OUT BY CODE
Plan to Secure Suitable Appro-
priation Is Blocked by the
Commissions Report

The state drainage law, under which
the state has drained large areas of
swamp lands and reclaimed thousands
of acres of land, has apparently been
repealed by the statute revision COM
missions new CODE
Northern Minnesota legislators had
planned a campaign to be waged at the
present session Of the legislature to se--
cure an appropriation of 100000 for
state drainage, but they are confronted
by the task Of re-enacting state
drainage law if the new code is to be-
come effective in it's present form.
The state drainage commission, con-
sisting of the governor, secretary of
state and state auditor. with the state
drainage engineer, George A. Ralph.
are legislated out of Office by the new
CODE
Senator A. d. Stephens, of Croekston,
who is the leader of the fight in the
senate for state drainage for Northern
Minnesota counties said yesterday that
he had been unable in cursory review
of the new code to find anything relat-
ing to state drainage.
1t is barely possible said Senator
Stephens, that the code contains pro-
visions continuing the drainage COM
mission and regulations under which it
performs the functions of it's office, but
certainly there is nothing in the chap
ter relating to drainage in the new
code about state drainage"
GrindeIand Law Changed
The Grindeland drainage law, by
which drainage districts are formed and
the benefited property pays for the
Improvement, has also been changed
in the new code. Provisions in the new
code in many respects differ from the
sections of the old law, and the power
to institute proceedings to improve
low and marshy lands has been confid-
ed entirely to the judiciary in the new
code. The old law gave this power
to the county commissioners.
I'VE expected to obtain an appro-
priation of 100000 for state drain
age" Senator Stephens said, ''and the
finance committee of the state was
practically committed to the appropria-
ton. If this code is enacted in it's
present form, we will have to pass a
law under which the appropriation
shall be expended. 1t is business
proposition for the whole state
My county two years ago expended
but $4,000 in. state drainage, for near
ly all of the state land is now owned
by private parties Northern Minne-
sofa needs. Improvement of its state
lands, however, and the entire northern
tier sof counties will be benefited in
some degree by the appropriation. /

:THEL is MRS. MAUI
Record Case in Matrimonial
Problems


CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-Mrs. Ethel Har-
vey McKinlay Maui was this afternoon
told judicially whose wife she is. Judge
Brentano informed her from the bench
that she is Mrs Albert T. Maui. At the
same time was settled what is thought
to be the only case on record of man
trying to establish common law mar
riage. The decision declared that the
plaintiff, Samuel McKinlay, had not
proved Mrs. Maui his wife, McKinlay's
bill was dismissed.
McKinlay and Mrs. Maui were mar
ried in 1892 and lived at Racine, Wis,
until 1896, when Mrs. McKinlay went
to Milwaukee, where she secured a di-
vorce two years later. In 1900 the Nc
Kinlays met in Chicago and the d.
vorced woman returned to her former
husband Later she left him and was
married to Albert It. Maui Recently
McKinlay wanted to know whether he
was legally a married man. He brought
suit for divorce against Mrs. Maui, who
declared she had no marriage contract
with McKinlay since their divorce.
SO far as I can learn" said Judge
Rrentano, this is the only case on rec
ord where a man is trying to establish
common law marriage"
One of the first to congratulate Mrs.
Maui on her victory was her present
husband. Smiling, she left the court
room in his company.
Il am glad to learn where I was att
said McKinlay, Il don't care if she was

Moves New Trial 4
Attorney Brown, in the interest OF
the defendant, made a motion for an
immediate new trial. This the court
denied on the grounds that Gen.
Childs, the prosecuting attorney, did
not desire immediate retrial
The defense made second motion
that the case be brought to trial again
In this county Feb. l or thereabouts,
which was also denied. A third motion
by Attorney Brown was that new,
trial be granted at the regular May
term of court. Gen. Childs suggested
to the court that change of venue be
taken, citing the impossibility of se-
curing another jury in Brown county.
Judge Webber concurred in Gen.
Child's statement, saying that he
deemed it next to impossible to secure
a fair and impartial jury to sit in this
case again in this county without great
cost. Attorney Brown asked if this
fact was not only true of Brown coun-

Shortly before 9 O'clock the tele-

jury was coming in. The judge, attor-
neys and reporters We're already in the
court room, together with few others,
numbering probably fifty. A deathlike
silence reigned over the court room.
No gaily dressed throng was present,
no continual whispering.
AS the bailiff was ordered to bring
the jury in and the twelve men came
from the jury room where they had de-
liberated forty-one hours, the stiffness
became oppressive. The venerable
judge asked the jury if 1t had any COM
munlcatlon to make to him and the an
swer was in the affirmative. Clerk of

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 90
Some confusion in the public mind has
arisen in regard to the drawback on
-four, owing to the fact that two sepa-
rate questions of this kind have re-
Gently been before the treasury de-
partment. One was the allowance of
drawback on flour ground entirely
from imported wheat, and the regula-
tions on this subject were issued sew
eral days ago in the form of a letter
from Secretary Shaw to the collector of
customs at New York.
The other question, and the one
which is of surprising interest to the
Northwestern millers, is the PROPOSE
ton to allow a drawback on flour
ground partly from imported and part
ly from domestic wheat-that is, mixed
wheat. Some fine legal questions are
involved in this proposition, as has
been told in these dispatches hereto
fore. and the matter was referred to the
attorney general for an opinion. Re-
ports have been published that the at
torney general had rendered his opin-
Ion, and that the decision was favor
able to the drawback plan,
Attorney General Moody said today,
however, that he has not yet taken up
the matter for serious consideration,
for other subjects have been occupying
all the time of the department of JUS
tice officials. Mr.. Moody himself had
no time to devote to the question while
the beef trust question was pending
and other matters before the depart
ment had to wait. There has been a
press Of such business in the attorney
generals office for the last ten days.
Shaw Expects Favorable Outcome
Mr.. Moody said today that he hoped
to take up the flour drawback question
very soon, and it is likely that he will
be able to report on the matter at one
of the regular meetings of the cabinet
next week. Secretary Shaw will be
greatly disappointed if the attorney
generals opinion is not favorable to the
plan, for he has assumed it will be fa-
vorable,. and that there will be no legal
obstacle to the granting of a rebate of
duties paid on imported wheat subse-
,quently mixed with American wheat,
ground into flour and exported.
There is a belief in some quarters
that Mr.. Shaw has been over confident,
and that the whole matter will wind up
in a bitter disappointment for the mil
lers, but there is no definite ground for
this feeling. An important outcome of
this question will probably be the ex-
tension of the drawback privilege to
| several other articles, in case the attor-
ney generals opinion is favorable to
the case presented by the Northwestern
mlliers. Walter E. Clark.

The situation had entered an acute

sumed an open political stage. Mill
