prison was passed on Harvey S. Rog-
ers and Percival R. Ross by Judge
Lochren of the United States district
court Monday. The two men were
found guilty in separate trials of using
the United States mails for fraudulent

cred light. Both were former en-
ployes of the Minneapolis post Office

Fifty prominent members of the
Roosevelt cdub were mustered into
Battery B of the National Guards last
Saturday evening. The battery will
continue to be Minneapolis organiza-
tion. 1t had been known that the club
was planning to reorganize the old
battery, but every effort was made to
keep secret the mastering in last Sat.
urday Albert F. Pray was elected
captain of the battery. He is the only
one of the fifty new members who is
not a member of the Roosevelt club.
George K. Belden was elected senior
first lieutenant, Thomas H. Ingersoll
junior first lieutenant and George E.
Leach second lieutenant.
Mayor Jones asserts that he is thor
oughly enlisted on the peoples side
in the controversy which the residents
of the Minnehaha district have waged
with the lawless and disorderly ele-
ment, and that he intends in the fu-
ture to do his part in preserving order
and decency at any cost. Talking
about the matter Tuesday, he said:
Order must be preserved there, if it
takes dozens of police to do it. Min
nehaha is one of the favored spots in
the city and it is absolutely essential
to the best interests of Minneapolis
that something radical be DONE want
1t distinctly understood that l shall
leave no stone unturned to accomplish
my purpose with regard to the dis
trict, and the lawless element will
soon find it out"
The trial of the $4,000 SANDER suit
of C. A. Quist against ]. L. Kiichli has
developed into case of washing dirty
linen in the court room. Quist alleged
on the stand that Kiichli was the
handler of the money which was used
to push a certain terminal deal
through the city council, and he named
Alderman Ryan of the First ward as
one of the men who received $500.
When called to the stand Mr.. Ryan de-
MED the accusation with vehemence.
The theory of the attorneys for Quist
is that when it was learned that he
was foreman of the grand jury and
sought to investigate certain alder
manic transactions, the accused per-
sons became affrighted and sought to
start back fire against Quist by max
ing charges which caused him to be
excused from the grand jury.
If all the assets of the Coe Com
mission company, the big bucket shop
organization, can be converted into
cash the creditors will realize about 20
cents on the dollar, for, according to
the schedule filed last Saturday by E.
L. Crocker, the attorney for the COM
pany, and verified by H. L. McRea,
the secretary, the assets are $75,312.64
and the liabilities are $362,62S.24.
Owing to the legal entanglements it is
believed that some of the Canadian
assets may be lost and it is a question
whether the $4,000 deposited at Fargo
to cover a judgment which the Beidler-
Robinson company secured against the
company can be collected. 1t is
claimed that this firm drew down the
money on March IA, four days after
the Coe Commission company went in
to the hands of the receiver.
There is no doubt about it-Minne-
apolis is growing like a weed, and
there is evidence of it on every hand"
said ex-Congressman John Lind, sur
veying the foundation work for the
new Deering building to be erected at
Fourth street and Second avenue
south. Thomas Lowry was emf
