Mayor Jones today" that, I did not
order the ball games discontinued be-

simply because they were noisy and a
nuisance on that account. I still be-

Sunday than to be hanging around sa-

FINDS ANIMUS
IN IOWA SUIT
MANAGER OF NORTHWESTERN
NATIONAL DISCUSSES IT.
Says Discharged Employee Is Respon-
sible-Had Threatened to Begin the
Action Unless Reinstated-Courts
Must Decide as to Regularity Of Con-
solidation with the Iowa Company.

cease Of disgruntled discharged en-
ployee," is the explanation given by
Leonard K. Thompson, manager Of the
Northwestern National Life Insurance
company, for the suit reported to have
been begun at >Deg Monies against the
that no notice had been served on the
company, and all he knew of the re-
ported application for a receiver was
from the newspapers. - e.. 49,
The employee referred > to by. Mr..
Thompson is Walt J.. Butler former
congressman, one Of the parties to the
Iowa action. He said today that Mr..
Butler had said that unless he was re-
installed he would begin this action, but
that if he were put back in his position,
he would let the matter rest. The man
discharged just before the present man
agement took control.
The dispatches say that application
was made in the district court at Des
Moines, Saturday, for receiver for the
Northwestern National Life Insurance
company Of Minneapolis. Fraud on
the part Of the officers of the company,
illegal purchase of the Northwestern
L I snv9g &c cG g9pfac Of fd p s M1s
securities Of 10000 Iowa policyholders
in the former Iowa company are the al
legged reasons for asking the receiver
ship. The case involves $4,000.000 in
surance claimed to be unlawfully held
in the name Of the Minneapolis com
pany, on account Of purchase and the
control Of $2,l00,000 securities now on
file with the auditor Of the state of
Iowa. Joseph A. Dyer, as attorney for
former Congressman Walt L. Butler,
Alice NJ. Butler, R. R. Nesbitt, F. L..
Witt and others, has brought the suit.
Illustrative Of the mixture Of fact
and fiction, in the Iowa reports, Mr..
Thompson called attention to the fact
that he is said to have been a credit
man in retail store, getting only
$1,000 year, and that he knows moth
ing about life insurance-while in fact
he has been in the business twenty
years. The statement that w. F. Bech-
tel had anything to do with the pres
emit management Of the company, he
declared untrue, as the company has
been completely reorganized.
The question whether the North
western Life &. Savings, company, a
stock organization, had right to sell
out to the local company Mr.. Thompson
was not prepared to elucidate from a
legal standpoint, but the deal had
ben closed in August, 1908, and ap-
proved by the stockholders.

MURDERER GRIEF
OYER HIS VICTIM
JOHN DEVINE' THREATENS TO
TAKE HIS OWN LIFE.
Stabbed William Wallace for Supposed
Theft Of Watch Which Is Later
Found on Person Of the Murderer
Does Not Know that His Victim Is
Dead.

Weeping over his deed and praying
for the recovery Of his victim, of whose
death he has not been informed, the
man who stabbed William Wallace on
a 500 train near Buffalo, Mimi, is on
the verge of collapse in the Buffalo
jail. His guards hesitate to inform him
of Wallace's death, as they fear he
will lose his reason when told that ne
is a murderer.
The prisoner gives his name as John
Devine, but admits that it is assumed
He says he comes from California, is
of French parentage and has never be-
fore committed crime. He will be
brought to Minneapolis late today by
Chief Deputy Sheriff Arthur L. Jones
William Wallace, the victim Of nDe-
city hospital Saturday morning and
died there yesterday. Devine missed
his watch while on the train and ac-
cused Wallace of stealing it. He did
not wait for reply, but assaulted Wal
lace at once, stabbing him several times
with a dirk. The passengers overpow.
cred him and he was taken from the
train and locked up at Buffalo, charged
with assault, -. ~ .:->~.<..'. a. =.
waS wheS He ssaTshe cd the the
tragedy was found in his clothes. The
prisoner was overwhelmed with the
realization Of his terrible blunder. His
grief is pitiful and seems to be more
for the man whom he injured because
he mistook him for thief than for
himself. He threatened to kill him
self if his victim died: Those who have
him in charge fear that he will make
good his threat when be learns that
Wallace is dead. To all appearances
his grief is sincere.

GR0CERS ALSO CRUSADING
NINE DEALERS CHARGED WITH
SUNDAY SELLING BY AssoCIA-
TON OFFICERS.

Following close upon the crusade
against the Sunday saloon, the Mime
apolis Retail Grocers' association has
started crusade against the grocers
who refuse to close on Sunday.
Nine warrants were sworn out today
by William Furst and the men will be
arraigned in police court tomorrow.
The defendants are: R. A. John, 96
Western avenue; w. G. Harris, Bryant
and Western avenues; J. Byrnes, 2116
Plymouth avenue; G. M. Lund, Dupont
and Plymouth avenues; P A. Confers,
629 Plymouth avenue; F. Dvorak, 1928
Plymouth avenue; F. Dvorsky, 1928
Washington avenue N; A. Koppel, COL
Washington avenue N, and NJ. A.
Weiss, 500 Washington avenue N.
According to Mr.. Furst, grocers in
all parts Of the city have been lax in
observing the Sunday closing law, and
this is unfair to the majority who do
close their places. Private detectives
have obtained evidence against forty
grocers, but they will not all be brought
into court at once. With the saloon
crusade on hand, the clerk of the mu-
nicipal court has about all he can
handle. ~. ,.--.. ~. :. =
The association proposes to close all
the grocery stores on Sunday and to
keep them closed.
