the story Of the scare he 1threw into -
the system - last month, and lesson
IN the financial system Of the, nation.
Mr.. Lawson shows in this dual article
that he has not lost the power to shock
a much shocked people into close atten-,

ton OF the coming power OF the men at
the head Of the system: ~
It is only a matter Of simple mathe-
MATES to ascertain the day, and that only
as absolutely and completely the legal
owners Of the entire United States and all
there is Of value in it, as John D. Rookie
Teller is the absolute legal owner Of the
sarge section Of it Of which today he is
possessed. " -' s az.
When that day Is here, the people Will
legally be the slaves of these ten men.
He says as preliminary to this pre-
diction: -.s
In fact, the system has cunningly
possessed itself Of the financial mechan-
ism Of the country and is running it, not
for the object for which the machine was
devised, but for the benefit and personal
profit Of Its votaries, and so the vast cor

LAWS GRASP ON

First Prosecution Under Anti-Re.

Washington, .Jan.xl9 Within week

the Santa Fe railroad and the Colorado
Iron and Fuel company, touching the al
legged payment Of rebates by the form

southern terminal points, for the use Of
the big smelling companies. This case
grows out of what Isl said to be gross
and open violation Of the law, the effect

here, there have been no other viola.
tions Of that law as to which evidence
can be had which will support prosecu
tions. No. doubt, several Of the great
transportation companies of the coun

Denver, Jan. l9.-Former Governor
Peabody Is legal fight to GUST Governor
Alva Adams begun yesterday. II the
testimony given before the legislative
investigating committee is fair index,
Colorado election methods will be shown
to be the most openly corrupt and
shameless ever known.
Three men swore that they had cast
$40 votes for the democratic candidates.
For each vote they got from 30 cents
to 81. In the morning they were paid
ST. vote, but when their extreme activ
ity was discovered the price was cut
in half because they were making too.
much money.
This was the lifting of t:tthe lid'
from the caldron of crookedness. just
what will come from the pot no one
.dares predict.
Talk of Assassination.
The feeling is bitter-so bitter that
threats Of . assassination have been
made.
Governor Adams has shown a letter
received several days ago from an en-
ployee Of a state newspaper, Offering
to kill couple Of republican supreme
court Judges, and announcing the time
he would leave for Denver to do the
job. Adams, before exhibiting the let
ter, tore off the signature and wired his
enthusiastic democratic friend to stay
at home. .-
Both Peabody and Adams have re-
ceived so many letters threatening them
with death that they have become in
different. Both men have sublime
nerve.
MARTYRS" Demand Pardon.
Governor Adams is in a peculiarly
embarrassing position. The jails OF
Denver are fairly we'll tenanted with
democratic election officials sent up by
the supreme court for various sins
against the purity Of the ballot. These
T martyrs in a political cause can see
| no good reason why the leader of
the party, for which they forged and
stuffed and lied, - as one republican
lawyer puts it, should not pardon them
lat once. They are now talking OF
nsquealing. Some of them already
| have made overtures to the enemy. ~

piece of humor that Melted the demo

JUDGE WEBBER's CHARGE
Not Necessary to Prove Motive-CiI-

New Ulm, Mimi, Jan. 19.-Judge
Webber, in his charge to the jury late
yesterday afternoon, entered upon dis
cussion of circumstantial evidence, and
his language was objected to by the de-
Tense because the states case rests
solely upon such evidence. The Judge .
instructions that the state is not bound
to show an adequate motive for the
murder also were objected to.
submitted thirty -seven requests for spe-
cial charges, but the court denied most
of them. Exceptions were taken In each
instance.
The court told the jury that the only
verdict it could find was guilty as
charged or innocent. He called atten-
tion to the evidence Of Asa P. Brooks,
telling the iurymen that they must de-
termine as to his truthfulness as wei

timony Of the defendant and his rela-

Only Question for Consideration.
tThe only question you. have to con-
sider,'; said the Judge, is whether OF

defendant, DR.. Koch. Evidence has
been introduced on the part of the state
| to connect DR.. Koch with the crime.
It is wholly circumstantial. The state
has attempted to show that set OF
circumstances surrounds the crime in
guilty. 1f these circumstances have
been established and satisfy you beyond
reasonable doubt that G.. r. Koch ID

Fire Damage, So, 900.

The powerhouse fire, cause unknown,
caused money damage Of about $4,000,
caused by the burning out Of the interior
Of nine transformers and destroying the
cable connection from the end of the
tunnel which leads. from the steam
powerhouse near by into the. water
-powerhouse. Further examination. Of
the station apparatus may reveal dam
age to some of the rotaries and machines
in the lower house. The help of the
fire department was required in putting
out the flames and the freproof con-
struction was the only thing that saved
the plant from destruction.
A crew Of men was put to work at
once getting material to make tempo
rarv overhead connections with the tun-
mel and new fittings for the transform
ers were ordered by wire from Schenec-
tady. Two cables had been put in
place by 1910 and service was resumed
on South Washington and the intertr-
ban lines. By night the other eight
cables will be put in place and the
| East Side service will be resumed.
To understand the situation, it may
| be explained that a cable line leads
direct to the Eleventh street station
from the steam plant. This, after trans
formation, supplies the West Side lines
except those on lower Washington and
! the interurban. Another cable line
i leads from the steamhouse over the
bluff to st. Paul for transformation.
These two lines were uninjured.

Minneapolis stepped backward fifty
years today.

current was cut off from all the city

East Side lines was complete for the
entire day. 49,. LIS.
= The first trouble came shortly after
6 am, when smoke was seen issuing
from beneath the floor Of the power
house at the lower dam. A fire alarm
was turned in and within half an hour
additional apparatus was called. The
cables supplying the East Side lines
terurban systems were burned off. The
big, new steam pOwerhouse near by was
not connected so as to take the entire
load and even that was wholly cut off
for several hours, as the fremen were
| in danger from the live wires. Ordi-
narily the steam plant supplies power
thru the Eleventh street transformers
disconnected, the entire city was with
out a moving street car. This was about
1880 am. =.
AS soon as the fire was located and
extinguished, an emergency gang of
men was set to work replacing the
burned and severed cables. It was nee
essary to lay temporary cables between
the two plants at the lower dam and
these were placed above ground. When
they were connected, sporadic service
was resumed on the West Side.

hung up all along the tracks. AS soon

what farce comedy now implies. Some
years ago there we're only five styles
OF entertainment on the stage, dramas,

ali these known styles of entertain
ment. This is especially SO In the pro-
duction OF "Hooligan's Troubles" which
