Ole Bernstad doesn' It think it pays
to be a. good fellow and he said SO
plainly in police court few days ago
when he was fined SIS for trimming his
neighbours tree without a. permit.
The neighbor lives at 526 Girard ave
nue. N. The wind had blown a small
limb from the top of tree on the
boulevard. The owner didn't like the
looks Of the tree and Bernstad offered
to trim it in the latest style. His idea
of style and that of Park Policeman
w. H. Morris did not agree and the
result was that Bernstad pleaded guilty
to violating the ordinance before Judge
E. F. Waite.
Morris testified that the tree was
ruined and an investigation by the park
board revealed a decolette condition
that was shocking even in a tree.
More than 800 arrests have been
| made by Officer Morris in little more
than year for damaging shade trees
This case appeared SO fragrant that the
members of the board decided on dras,
tic action and the police department
was asked for help. The result is thai
every policeman in the city will assist
Officer Morris in his work. Hitching {
horse near a shade tree, even tho the
tree is not damaged, is a misdemeano7
punishable by fine Or Imprisonment
in the workhouse. From now on every
offender, regardless Of class, will b.
taken into court.

amounts borrowed by this pawn shop
from our company and from other in,
situations to loan out that it was doing
a large business.

George E. Allen, of New. York, sec
rotary Of the American Institute Of
Bank Clerks, who has been inspecting
the Minneapolis chapter, makes a sug-
gestion that will interest local philan-
thropists. It is nothing less than the
foundation Of a loaning institution
where poor people shall be treated de-
Gently. In short, he suggests a COM
plement to savings institutions.
HSince I have been in this room,'
said Mr.. Allen at the Hotel Nicollet
yesterday, Gan idea has come to me. ]

shops. Do you know, every large city
like Minneapolis should have place
where people who wish to borrow on
small things could receive as much at

on the best Wall street collateral. This
is the most important thing that is I'M

That Sui phur Does
For the Human Body in Health
and Disease.

The mention Of sulphur will recall to
many Of us the early days when our
mothers and grandmothers gave US our
daily dose Of sulphur and molasses
every spring and fall.
It was the UNIVERSAL spring and fall
"blood purifier -. tonic and cure-all,
and, mind you, this old-fashioned rem
edy was not without merit.
The idea was good, but the remedy
was crude and unpalatable, and large
quantity had to be taken to get any
effect.
Nowadays we get all the beneficial
effects of sulphur in palatable, con-
is far more effective than a table
spoonful of the crude sulphur.
In recent years research and expert
ment have proven that the best sulphur
for medicinal use is that obtained from
Calcium Calcium 5sulphaiide) and sold

small chocolate coated pellets and con-
tain the active principle of sulphur in

of this form of sulphur in restoring and
maintaining bodily vigor and health;
sulphur acts directly on the liver, and
excretory organs and purifes and en-
riches the blood by the prompt elimina-
ton Of waste material.
Our granumOCnoTS knew CulS Wu0u
they dosed us with sulphur and mo-
lasses every spring and fall, but the
crudity and impurity Of ordinary
flowers Of sulphur were often worse
than the disease, and cannot compare
with the modern concentrated prepare

Calcium Waters is undoubtedly the
best and most widely used.
They are the natural antidote fol
liver and kidney troubles and cure con

that often surprises patient ant

GRAND JuRY's WORK
HAMPERED BY CODE
LAWYERS UNCERTAIN AS TO
PRESENT BODY.
Theory Is Advanced That Indictments
Returned Since March 1 Are Illegal
Because Jury Was Not Drawn Ac-
cording to Provisions of New Laws
Prisoners May Be Released.

Hennepin county prisoners indicted
since March l are illegally indicted and
held because the present grand jury
is not legally drawn and no further
true bills can be returned until new
grand jury list is made up and new
grand jury drawn and impaneled &C
cording to the provisions of the new
code. ...;-.-. ,.- ...r.-
This is the contention of attorneys
both in Minneapolis and in st. Paul
and their beliefs will undoubtedly be
urged upon the courts in the near fu-
ture. If they are right it will mean I'M
told trouble for the county authorities
and may mean the escape of certain
prisoners. --,'sa." IT, = =. -..f'
Provision of Code.
The new code provides that the
county commissioners select ga larger
list of names from which the jury is
subsequently drawn. On receiving from
the county auditor the list of grand
jurors selected by the county board,
the clerk shall write the names in said
list on separate pieces Of paper and
fold each as nearly as possible in the
same manner, so that the name written
shall not be visible, and deposit them
in a box At least fifteen days before
the sitting Of any district court, the
clerk thereof, in the presence Of the
sheriff and a justice of the peace or
district judge, shall draw from the box
the names Of twenty-three persons to
serve as grand jurors at said term of
court ... ..
This, it is contended by the lawyers
takes the place of all other law on the
subject and invalidates the present prac'
tice under which the grand jury was
drawn, viz. Of selecting the jury from
a grand list made up at the beginning
of the year by the district judges.
Eleven Indictments Here.
The new law went into effect Marcel
1, and it is claimed that all bills return
ed since that time are invalid. In thi
county there have been eleven indict
ments returned. OF this number, how
ever, pleas Of guilty have been entered
in all but two cases, those of William
Wade, who has defaulted his bond, AM
Robert A. Martin, who pleaded not gull
ty to forgery and was released on hi
own recognizance. The grand jar.
meets again on the fifteenth, and wha
they may do after that is question.
When asked about the propositio,
yesterday, County Attorney Al. J. Smit
stated that he did not want to discus
it in any way. He said that it was hi
present opinion that the code did no
change the law Of Hennepin count
in regard to grand juries, but that h
was not prepared to pass an officis
opinion. eff the point is raised in thi
: county then it will be time enough t
: thresh it OUT he said. eve will fgf

Police Superintendent Doyle's men
found q new lid when they raided
gambling house at 251 Hennepin ave-
nue. last night, and it was taken to
police headquarters where it will be
studied for pointers.
This lid is success and sure thing,
FOR it makes the roulette game an exact
science-for the house.
The police received hunch last night
that game was on at the club rooms
conducted by Al Chapman at 25l Hen
nepin avenue, and Sergeant Thomas
Garvin and Detective Al Johnson were
sent to raid the place quietly. When
they entered the rooms they found
Chapman and four other persons seated
about table, while in a bed and Gov
cred up with sheet was peculiar
appearing roulette wheel.
Discovery Is Made.
By the side Of the bed was the lid
that is likely to make trouble for Chap
man. The lid resembledL a cake dish
with hole thru the standard. This,
it was discovered, was the lid for the
roulette wheel. When this was inverted
over the wheel the part resembling the
standard was used to guide the ball to
the numbers. A hole or outlet for the
ball was directly over each number.
Tho ball, however, never went out at
but one Of these holes, as the apparatus
was provided with direct chute from
the top of the disc to the lower surface
of, the lid. A scratch on the standard
tells the operator where to place the
disc SO the ball may be directed to any
number on the wheel.
Cake Dish? No7
Chapman protested in vain that the
pretty little piece Of furniture was &
fruit or cake dish, and was no part o.
any gambling paraphernalia. The off
GERS, however, discovered the good quail
tiles Of the whole outfit and set it W
at police headquarters as an object les
son for new "coppers. >,.......s>:
Judge E. F. Waite's new order max
Ing it impossible for prisoners charged
with gambling to get bail without
written order from the police judge wa
enforced, and Chapman occupied a eel
alongside Of the DRINKS. He will b.
arraigned Monday morning and tn
officers say they have good cas-
against him. 81 - ~
