For the second time this year the
New York bank statement shows a de
~iciency in the reserve. Wonder if the
insurance muddle is not responsible for
this condition in a very large degree?
New York is the great insurance GER

Recently comparatively few new poll

true that there has been a decrease il

Again, the policyholders have shown 6

The jury in the trial Of Thomas B.
Clement, the Faribault banker, in the
United States court in st. Paul, brought
in q verdict Of guilty at 10 'clock last
night.
The Indictment charged twenty seven
different counts. The jury found the
defendant guilty on twenty four counts,
bringing in voluntary verdict of not
guilty of abstracting nearly $4,000 of
bank securities, and a directed verdict
of not guilty Of embezzling $1,000, the
first count, and not guilty of crediting
the Minnesota Lumber company with
$4,000 on draft never collected.
The penalty on each Of the counts for
which Clement is found guilty is five
to ten years imprisonment The court
may make these sentences concurrent,
and probably will in pronouncing the
punishment, as the convicted man is Is
years of age. in feeble health, and was
recommended to the mercy of the court
by the jury. e sgs
George N. Baxter made a motion for
a new trial for the defendant. Judge
Page Morris set Nov. 10 as the date
for hearing arguments on the motion.
In the meantime, the defendant will
continue to have his liberty on his for
mer bond, which continues in force.
The aged banker sat behind his at
torney without showing any emotion
when the verdict was read in court.
81 do not feel as bad about it as /
might he said, when the Jury had
been dismissed. "I intend to 20 back
to Faribault, where I will wait until the
argument for new trial is made and
ruled upon.

CENSUS CHECKERS
ADDING NEW NAMES

Census Supervisor A. A. D. Rain and
his force Of clerks are about the bus1-
est people in Minneapolis. The work
of the census was not completed when
the count was taken by the regular
enumerators and the full limit Of time,
July 10, will be needed to complete the
checking and tabulating Of the enumer-
ator's reports.
In addition, there are many names
brought in by the specials that have
been checked over and those not re-
ported by the regular enumerators will
be added. These specials went over
the ground after the regular eh'lmera-
tors, covered the Lake Minnetonka dis
trict for Minneapolis people temporar-
lily out of the city, and in that way
found many who had been missed.
These names when added will increase
the total Of 257 500 as reported by T h e
Journal last week. These special
reports were all turned in before July
l, but it has taken the entire week to
check them over and compare them
with, the schedules turned in by the
regular enumerators. Bets are being
placed that the final total will be $780,
900.

PRISONERS HERE

WITH RUSSIAN DUNGEONS.

Minneapolis Provides for Criminals
Rough Treatment for Accused Per-
sons Over There.

GA cell in the Minneapolis police
station is a palace compared with the
dungeons into which prisoners are
thrown in Russia said Mrs Rosa
Rosenberg Of ST. Petersburg, who is
visiting relatives in Minneapolis.
For several years Mrs. Rosenberg has
been engaged In relief work among the
Hebrew people of Russia and is famil-
lar with the conditions there at the
present time. When she was shown
into the white-enameled cell block she
place for criminals AS she stood look
ing about the place man was brought
in charged with drunkenness and was
taken into one of the well-lighted cells
and given a good dinner.
"They don't treat prisoners with
that much respect in Russia, she said.
"There they usually throw them into
the cells and aften they are brutally
scourged as they pass down the gloomy
damp and poorly ventilated and bright
ness is never thought Of. They are
poorly fed, and I think that plumbing
in cellroom is unknown in my coun-
try. A month in a place like this is
preferable to day in the common
prison at st. Petersburg.
The greatest surprise to Mrs. Rosen-
berg was to find well-eguipped hos
pital ward at the station for emergen-
cy cases. The room is as well fur
nished and fully as sanitary, she said,
as the best hospitals in st. Petersburg.
Mrs. Rosenberg is taking an exten-
sive trip thru America, and during her
stay in Minneapolis is visiting he1
daughter, Mrs. David J. Wolk, at 2102
| Seventeenth avenue 8. She will leave
shortly for st. Louis and other large
western cities.

RIVER WATER UNSAFE
AND AT ITS WORST

It is a long time since the health
department has recommended reservoir
water for drinking purposes. Since the
discovery of coli communis bacteria in
the, reservoir last fall, the health off
Gals have been suspicious of reservoir
water as beverage. The bacilli have
disappeared from time to time,s but the
last archaeological examination, made
last week, showed coli present in small
numbers.
Ever since the rise Of the river the
water has been dark and turbid and
the percentage Of organic matter
high. AS the river is at it's highest
now, the turbidity and the amount Of
organic matter are worse than ever be-
fore. In other words, city water is now
at its worst, and even people. who are
not fastidious shun city water fol
everything except bathing and steam
making purposes:
That the Mississippi river water in
amount Of organic matter as the stage
of water rises is graphically shown by
a chart prepared by F. w. Cappelen
former city engineer and member OF
the pure water commission, from the
regular analyses of A.. D. Meads, the
city chemist. The showing Of the
chart is fully borne out by the pres
emit conditions.

NEW SYSTEM EXPENSIVE
ONE SPRING WATER COMPANY
QUITS Observation-Disclosures ARE
COMPLYING WITH CONDITIONS
OF ORDINANCE. &

One spring water concern has gone
out of business since Health Commits
sioner P. M. Hall began to enforce the
provisions Of the new ordinance regu-
lating the handling of spring water.
The owner explained that to comply
with the ordinances would compel the
purchase OF more glass bottles and en-
tail the employment Of more help than
his capital would permit.
AS a general proposition, the spring
water companies are complying with
the law in every detail. Consumers
will notice that all corks in the bottles
are new and are nicely sealed, and
that when the case is empty the bottles
are taken back to the headquarters in
stead Of being filled from tank wag-
on. Covers are provided for all pals
and every precaution is taken TO pre-
vent the pollution of the water from
any cause whatever.
A driver who was overlooking some
detail was called to order by Inspector
w. D. Mccall, who in addition to in
spec,ting bread and milk also has charge
of the spring water inspection. The
driver protested against being threat
ened with arrest on the ground that he
was only carrying out the orders of his
employers, who had neglected to OBJ
serve some Of the lesser details, and
insisted that if any arrests were to be
made it should be Of the employers.
| ".Now if / catch you filing those jugs
from the wagon again I'll arrest YOU
that is all there is to it, announced
Mr.. Mccall after explaining to the
the law. The driver thought that he
saw the point and altho he has beer
closely watched he has not oversteppel
the ordinance SINCE

The Mississippi is still on the ram
page, with little sign of abating. The
government gage at st. Paul registered
1873 feet this morning, or an increase
of about 10 inches over yesterday. The
gage in the G. A; Smith pond, at Forty.
~ inches early this morning, and by
noon had climbed two inches higher.
Yesterday the same gage registered 10
feet inches.
T. S. Outram of the weather bureau
issued the following statement today:
The Mississippi river has about come
to stand at Little Falls, the rise during
the past tWenty-four hours being only
half an inch; at points farther down the
river the rise since yesterday morning has
ranged from 2 inches at St. Cloud to 10
inches at st. Paul. It is thought that the
crest of the high water will reach st. Paul
today or tomorrow, and that the highest
reading will not exceed 14.2 feet. After
the crest is reached, the fall will be grad
ual for some time.
The engineers and lumbermen whose
property interests are affected are
watching the river closely and are pre-
pairing for any situation that may
arise. The high water is doing little
actual damage, but is causing great in
convenience, inasmuch as it has flooded
y
riously interfering with business.
The fatters living nearest the wa
ter are packing their few belongings
and preparing to move at moment s
notice. The dam and power companies
are keeping constant watch, and al
tho confident that their property will
stand any strain occasioned by the
present stage are somewhat worried
over the reports Of still more water.
Much depends on the situation far
ther. up the river. If the dams at the
weathered here. The breathing Of q
dam or reservoir in the upper basin,
however, would bring disaster to the
city. This is the greatest menace at
the present time. y
The jam above Camden Place is still
solid and as the river is widening with
each inch of rise the water is finding
new outlets and channels around the
obstruction.

into the store, where he was made to
give up the contents Of his safe, 500

cash taken was personal property Of

Waldorf attempted to escape from

Just as the jail elevator stopped at
