Burdette Thayer of Fillmore has a plan

election The lists of delegates are then
certified to the county conventions. which

NEAR TO FRANCHISE
Union Company Ordinances
Amended and Laid Over

The Union Manufacturing company,
which has been trying to secure a
franchise from the city for the extern
sion OF its lighting and power service
Tor many months, will, by the action of
the board OF aldermen last night be
compelled to wait two more weeks.
In accordance with a resolution
passed by the board of aldermen two
weeks ago. an ordinance was drawn UP
Dy the corporation attorney and read
last night providing for the granting
of the franchise as requested by the
company, provided the poles used by
the company for stringing it's own
lighting wires could be used by any
other company upon payment of a pro-
portlonate share of the cost.
Aid. Bantz objected to that section
OF the ordinance. and moved that it be
stricken out. He stated that the COM
pany would not accept franchise
with such a clause tackled to 1t. Aid.
Rohland seconded the motion, and 1t
was carried, Aid. Moriarty being the
only one voting no.
AS amended, Aid. Bantz moved that
1T be approved and laid over until
the next meeting, in accordance with
the terms of the charter. Carried
without a dissenting vote.
The main objection raised by the
aldermen to granting the company the
desired franchise was the fact that the
attorney for the company refused to
divulge the principals. This difficulty
was at last overcome by the offer of
the company to increase it's bond from
$4,000 to $4,000. 1t was then that the
measure was proposed by the commit
tee on streets to force the company to
place it's poles and conduits at the dis
posal of any competing company upon
payment of a probortionate share of
the initial expense. This the Union
manufacturing company is understood
to have refused to accede to-

FINNISH INSURANCE
COMPANY IS BARRED

The Finnish Mutual insurance COM
pany of Hancock. Mich. was yester-
day refused permission to do business
In the state by State Insurance Com
missioner Thomas d. O'Brien.
The principal objection on which the
refusal was based was that the articles
OF Incorporation did not show that the
funds of the organization were to be
kept separate. but allowed the entire
proceeds. including the $4,000 reserve
fund. to be used for expenses. Other
objections were that there was nothing
to show that the company was author
lied to do business under the laws Of
Michigan as alleged. and that no pro-
vision was made for an accumulative
emergency or reserve fund.

F0RGER WEAkENS
Gus Kreuger Admits Guilt and
Goes to Prison

After being forced to acknowledge
that his signature occurred in the in
uorSement OF seventeen different bo-.
gus checks. Gus Kreuger yesterday
changed his plea of not guilty while he
was bling tried by a jury in the Grim
lnal division of the district court, and
entered plea of guilty. He was SEN
fenced TO three years in the peniten-
tiary, one year upon one count and two
years upon another.
kreuger was arrested last January
under the name of Otto WeSburg and
at the last session of the grand jury he
was indicted for forgery upon three
separate counts. The amount of the
forgery in each case was small. being
for checks of from 50 to $40. He re-
tanned the services of Herbert p. Keller
to defend him and stoutly protested his
innocence. claiming that the checks
mad been given to him by another
party.
The most persistent search upon the
part OF his attorney failed to reveal the
slightest trace of this other party up
trial yesterday. When jury had been
secured County Attorney Kane made
MS opening address to the jury and It
was an eye opener TO the defense. for
Mr. Kane promised to show that the
prisoner had not only forged, but had
passed many more checks than he was
charged with in indictments He pro-
ceeded to do so and when he had fin
lshed the Introduction of the seven
teenth bad check Kreuger decided that
the time had come for him TO quit and
throw himself upon the mercy of the
court Every one of the seventeen
checks was for amounts varying within
few cents of 50.
The process of securing the jury
proved an interesting undertaking. At
torney Keller's leading question to each
talisman was:
Have you ever been the victim of a
fraudulent check worker?
Out Of 29 talismen examined. % adj
mitted that at some time in their lives
they had taken in checks which were
not all that was represented for them.
The climax in this questioning process
was reached when James B. Price. gro
Ger. In St Anthony Park. was called.
Have you ever taken a bad checl2
Yes Seven or eight of them
Have you had one passed upon you
lately?"
Yes. I have one in my pocket that

1t is quite needless to add that James
B. Price was not one of the jurors who
J started in to try the case of Gus Kreu-

PINCHES A SPO0k
Bad Lands Specter Is Laid by
Policeman

A female wrath, wandering about
the bad lands at the hour when grave
yards yaWn, caused some scores OF
dusky denizens of the district to for
swear the shooting of craps and
dreaming of gigs last night. If a po-
liceman had not happened along in
time to lay the hand of the law on the
spook, Senator Grease, "Hotfoot"
and some other lights of Minnesota
street might have been on the mourn
ers' bench now.
The ghost got out of a cab at Scott
Walkers place just before IL o'clock.
1t was a thoroughgoing spook, so far
as appearances went, irradiating
CLEANS of light from a costume that
set well on trim little figure. The
cabman heard the swish of skirts as
the ghost darted up an alley. He
grinned and awaited developments. He
didn't have long to wait. colored
man wandering through the alley saw
the ghost back of Walkers place. He
emitted one yell and alarmed the
neighborhood. Dusky faces lined door
ways for an instant and then disap-
peared, blanched. The ghost settled
down on an empty packing case and
awaited the midnight hour.
A colored brother who was in the act
of swearing off everything and going
home. told policeman that there was
ghost in the alley. The policeman
has been on the bad lands beat for
some years and is skeptical in the mat
ter of ghosts. He went up the alley
and pinched the wrath. The ghost
was giggling and not angry because
her flaming garments attracted the at
tention of a little crowd. She explain
ed to the policeman that she was Miss
Betty Corbitt. dancer in the radium
dance at the Star this week and was
playing ghost in order to win a bet.
Il said l could stay out half hour
and scare people, and l guess I did,"
said Betty.

man. Now you hike, before the pop
ulation finds the bones that were
