Groundlings and Skyscrapers.
With the rush to the highest offices there
has come sharp division between two
classes of New Yorkers-those who dwell
on the ground and those who dwell in the
air Already many of the streets in the
true skyscraper section are in perpetual
dusk. The sun ceased long ago to try the
impossible job of shedding a little natural
light into the narrow defiies. All day long
the only light that comes to the workers
there Is from gas and electricity.
On the brightest morning of the year the
men in many ground-fioor offices turn on
their light when beginning work as me-
chemically as they hang up their hats And
still below, in the vaults and Easements
that extend under the streets, stealing a
little ground subterranneously as the up
per part of the building steals light aerialiy,
are thousands Of men who never see even
glimpse of blue sky and rarely know any
light except what is man-made. Indeed, it
is not too much to say that the porters and
other workers in the deep vaults of the
skyscrapers, whose homes are in the tene-
rnent districts. never see more than
handbreadth of the sky and no sun at all
from one year to the other.
When they emerge from the working
places they haven't the energy to crane
their necks for the unsatisfactory glimpse

of crime in Minneapolis il has been de-
clded that the present force is not ade-
quate to cope with the conditions. There
have been at least two murders and no
one has been held to the grand jury.
There have been numerous holdups and
daylight robberies and no one. except the
man who was plundered has suffered.
Now there is to be a change. Joseph
Lawrence, one of the. veteran detectives
of Minneapolis, who was dismissed by
Mayor Ames in 1901. has been summoned
TO Minneapolis by Chief Doyle and he is
to be made chief of detectives. He will
begin work May ]. Lawrence is a man of
ability and has good record as a de-
tective. For some years he has been on
the Pacific coast, but Chief Doyle realizes
that some men who know the thieves and
crooks are needed on the police depart
ment and Lawrence has been called to
the post of chief of the plain clothes
force. 1t is expected that James Howard

ANOKA. Mimi, April 27.-Work
progressed much more rapidly in the
Kaldewit murder trial today than any
day previous. The defense spent less
time in croSSexamination. No sensa-
tions were sprung, but the state stack
ed the evidence a little higher against
kalderwit by the testimony of Frank
Dorm, who saw Hammons face and no.
tieed Kalderwit's walk as they were
leaving the saloon. WiSeman and Good
man, pawnbrokers from Minneapolis,
were on the stand this afternoon. The
state found that Kalderwit had pur-
chased a revolver which was identified
by Wiseman on Nov. 19, 1904, for $I.25
Goodman testified that Kolb shortly
after the holdup pawned a revolver and
some clothing. all being shown in court
Julian Garfield, conductor, testified
that the defendant asked for a transfer
to the Columbia Heights line on the
evening of Nov. p. Among other wit
nesses examined were Mr.. and Mrs.
David Wright, Stoner, a conductor,
Mrs. Dorm and William West. No dam
aging facts were brought out, but their
stories formed link i'm the chain which
the state expects to convict Kalderwit.
Among the new arrivals and witnesses
are James Carry, Mrs. Garfield. Lizzie
Kolb, a sister of John Kolb, defendant,
and Mabel Ward, Hammon's sweet
heart, it is said; will testify for the de-
Tense. Carry is subpoenaed by the state
and is said to be a valuable witness.
At the morning seSs much time was
spent in arguments over whether Con-
ductor Manley's evidence at the pre-
liminary examination should be allow
ed, as the witness was now dead. Judge
Stewart, who presided at the hearing,
and Stenographer Stetler were called.
The court overruled the objection and
the evidence was admitted. This is a
strong point for the state, as il makes
the chain of evidence relating to the
trio's movements to the scene of the
murder complete. Ed Helm of Mime
apolis was put on the stand. He told
that he was the first to arrive on the
scene about 80. after the alarm for
the police was turned in. He told of
finding bundle of clothing supposed
to have been dropped by the three men.
