Larceny-Eighth Man Arraigned in
Police Court Today. ....4

Ben F. Kane, colored, was arraigned

stealing a steel range from the T. M

set for March 81, and the prisoner was
released on $500 bail. ,I:.s.$.
Kane is the eighth man arrested in
connection with the looting of the sup
ply house. The police say he is the last.
He worked in the stove department
with Mike Brown, arraigned last week.
The other employees arrested are Will
lam Austin, Fred A. Blixt, Louis Lar
sen, Henry Roberts and Mike Brown.
Andrew Olson and Gus Gordon, two ex-
press drivers, were arrested in connec-
ton with the robberies.
Not Grand Larceny,
Owing to the system said to have
been used, the cases present many unu-
sual and difficult features. The arti-
cles stolen were in no instance worth
more than $25, the amount necessary to
constitute grand larceny. First AS
sistant County Attorney j. F. Dahl said
today that to prove grand larceny the
state will have to show theft from
building, and that he is doubtful if this
can be done. He thinks it will prob
be held that an employee in build
ing who steals goods from his employ
stolen from a building. In this event
petty larceny would be the only charge
that would stand.
Even petty larceny could not be
proved, but for the confessions Of GER
tain Of the defendants.
A Clever System.
An employee in one department
'"sold'', goods for half-price or less to
an employee in another department and
then pocketed the proceeds. In return,
he paid for goods from the other man s
department. In the end the employees
were not out any money and had the
goods.
If it is shown that the man pur-
he is not punishable. If it is shown
that he knew the money he paid was to
be pocketed by the salesman, the county
attorney holds that the purchaser is
equally guilty with the man who stole
the receipts. The difficulty will be to
show such knowledge.

HAMMOND SEEKS TO
# KEEP COE CO.'S BOOKS

Friction has developed between Re-

the receivers attorney, on one side and
George H: Hammond, president of the
defunct Coe Commission company, on
the other.
Mr.. Hammond's legal representative
the company's office since the failure.
Salmon and Porter informed these men
that after today they would not be al
lowed to work in the office, nor to have
access to the books and the agents re-
ports.
The Hammond forces insist that they
are entitled to access to books and to
work in the office. They will bring
the matter before Judge Loehren. =
The Marshall, Mimi, claims were re-
ceived by Mr.. Salmon today and show
that the losses Of fourteen customers

THE AUDIT0RIUM'S COST
TO DATE IS $4l2,450

The total cost to date of the Audi
tori UNI and office building Of the North
western National Life Insurance COM
pany has been $412,450. Changes and
additions with completion, equipment
and seating of the recital hall, will
likely. bring the amount very near half
million.
The amount will be a surprise to a
good many who have supposed, from
the size Of the original building per-
mits, that the Auditorium had cost
about $4,000. When it is remembered
that before the building was completed,
an offer of $4,000 profit was made to
the insurance company for deed, the
intrinsic value of the big plant can be
pretty nearly calculated.
The figures thus far are: Audito-
rum and office building, including con-
tractor and architect fees, $277, $50;
ground, $90,O00; lighting fixtures,
$4,000; seats, $8,500; organ, $21,OOO;
stage equipment and extra stage wir-
ing, $4,000.

RAILROADS ARE ACTIVE
SEEKING SIGNATURES TO PRO-
TEST AGAINST DEMURRAGE
BILL WITH INDIFFERENT Sue
CESS.

Railroad agitation against the pas
sage of the reciprocal demurrage bill
by the legislature showed itself today
at the Chamber Of Commerce in the cir
culation. Of protest for signatures.
The paper received the signatures of
several firms of high standing. The
fact developed that big firms are by no
means unanimous in advocacy Of the
bill and that many large shippers be-
ieve it should not pass.
E. S. Woodworth, president of the
Minneapolis chamber, says he does not
believe the present bill, as it stands,
should go thru. Grain men are averse
to suggesting particular modification,
but say there are features that are
undesirable from both the railroads
and shippers standpoint.

The Mississippi river has furnished
link in the chain of circumstantial
evidence which appears to be dragging
Edward Gottschalk to the scaffold
The mutilated body of Joseph Hart
man, the young man who has been miss
ing from his home since the murder of
Christian Schindeldecker, one month
ago today, was found in the river near
Mendoza yesterday afternoon.
The crushed skull and fatirons at
tached to the feet to weigh the body
down leave no. doubt that Hartmann,
believed to have been an accomplice in
the murder of Schindeldecker, was also
foully murdered and his body thrown in
the river to hide the evidence Of the
crime.
Six frightful wounds were discovered
on the head of Hartmann when the
autopsy was held at the Ramsey coun:
Ter, DR.. Nippert and DR.. Finnell made
the examination. A depressed frac-
ture over the right ear was what killed
Hartmann. It was an inch above the
ear and slightly forward. On the
temple bone was another wound and
below this was another less serious.
A long crack extended from the
temple wound over the crown and to the
base of the skull. Two small wounds
they had been made with sharp in
strument, such as an ice pick, but
neither penetrated the skull.
Positive Identification.
Positive Identification establishes
the identity of the body. Charles Hart
mann, the father, and Charles Hart
mann, brother of Joseph Hartmann,
viewed the body at the morgue and rec
ognized it. The police have been
searching since his disappearance the
Monday following the murder of
Schindeldecker.
It is certain that the young man was
murdered. The body was taken to the
morgue about 8 PIN. Charles Hart
mann, the father, was called. He
walked into the morgueroom and stood
for moment beside the body OF his
son, gazing upon the dead boy. Then
with broken words he sald
