TELL OF BADER MURDER

Upon the Interpretation Of the word
shooting, as 1t is written in the accident
policy Of the late Chorles O.. Bader, the
murdered proprietor Of the Falls hotel,
depends the outcome of the suit to collect
$4,000 brought by Louise P Bader, the
widow, against the New Amsterdam Cas-
ualty company. The case is on trial to-
day before Judge II. D. Dickinson and
the witnesses are telling for the first time
IN court the story Of the notorious Bader
holdup and murder of last December.
The company has refused to pay more
than half Of the amount of the accident
policy. claiming that a peculiar clause in
the Bader, policy provides the assured is
entitled to but half damages II his death
is the result Of shooting. The plaintiff
contends that shooting" as used In the
policy means the discharge of firearms in
connection with hunting or other lines OF
craftsmanship. She insists that her hus-
bands death was from external violent
and accidental means and that she is
entitled to the full amount Of the policy

PENCE SITE HAS
ACTIVE FRIENDS
PosToFFICE LOCATION INTER
EsTs COMMERCIAL CLUB.
Washington Departments Will Receive
Charges that Selfish Interests Are
Back Of Opposition to Location Of
New Building Near Center Of Whole
II sale and Other Business Interests.

Active defence Of the Pence site as
the best and most available for the new
postoffice will be undertaken at once,
and the interests opposed to it for va
rious reasons will find that there is to
be sharp, interesting fight before
the question is settled. Already vigor-
GUS protests have, been forwarded to
North Side Commercial clubs protest
ing against the selection of site south
Of Hennepin or Nicollet avenues as has
been suggested as probable by press
dispatches.
General indignation is constantly
growing against what is characterized
as the interference Of certain individ-
uals and small interests that are work
Ing for a site in an out-of- the-ways loca-
ton for the sake of personal gain thru
increased value Of surrounding proper
the: site. This latter feature was avoid
| ed by the Commercial club in it's &C.
tivities. 49,,
Consider the Future. :,
The defense Of the Pence site and
/ nepin are based on the established fact
that the future greatness and activity
of Minneapolis will be based on the
rapidly increasing manufacturing and
jobbing business Of the city. While il
is admitted that the banks, for the
most part, and the Chamber of Com
merce are south of Hennepin avenue, il
is pointed out that the larger part Of
the manufacturing and jobbing inter
ests are now ind always will be nortt
of Hennepin avenue. The bulk of tn.
postoffice business from business sources
comes from and will continue to come
from that source. For that reason il
is maintained that the Pence site il
better. - - -.- w.,
| Another point brought out is the &C.
co1nmod ation Of the general public
which, at certain times, makes heavy
demands on the postoffce and is en-
1 titled to consideration. It is estimated
THAT fully 80 per cent Of the streetca1
traffic of the city passes Hennepin anG
! Washington avenues, convenient to thu
Pence site, or passes the doors of thu
4 proposed new building: On the othe,
T hand, it is urged that the suggested
sites south Of Hennepin are all less con
, venient to the general public than th'
Pence cite. 8<
The public affairs committee of tn
Commercial club has been CAREFUL,
preparing it's campaign and it is prob
able that as soon as definite informa
ton on certain details can be secured
public mass meeting will be called a
which all sites will be discussed.

SUSsMAN INDICTED AGAIN
County Attorney Makes Sure that Muir
;. derer Cannot Escape.

The grand jury yesterday found a
new Indictment against Henry Sussman,
accused Of numbering his wife. The
reason for the new bill is that the de-
ceased woman went by two or three
different given names. She was bap-
tized - Faye, :. :. married as 'sFanny''
and has since been known by other
names. In order to be perfectl ysure
that the Sussman n. Indictment is good,
all Of these names mentioned in the bill.
The Sussman and several other in
dietments will lbe returned tonight and
the grand jury will probably submit it's
final report and be discharged. It is
believed that there will 7be bills against
Quirk, and possibly against Policemen

Weather Conditions.

The pressure is moderately low be-
tween the Rocky mountains and the
Mississippi river, the lowest barometer
readings being over Manitoba and New
Mexico; this condition has caused
southerly winds and a continuation Of
mild weather in the Mississippi valley,
upper lake region, Minnesota, the Da-
kotas and Manitoba. There is evident
y tropical storm south Of Florida,
which is causing northeasterly winds
along the Atlantic coast, and rain from
Florida to Maryland. The barometric
depression over Manitoba is causing
unsettled weather over much of the
upper Mississippi valley, MINNESOTA and
the Dakotas, and it is probable that
in this vicinity there will be cloudy OF
partly cloudy weather and possibly
showers tonight and Thursday. The
temperature changes will be slight.
