The following, written in memory
of Alma Heiken by John B. Butler,
was sent to The Journal by the fami-
ly with the request that we print it !:
Alma Grace Heiken was born in
the southern part of Audubon county,
Iowa, on May 6, 1890, and died on
August %, 1906. She was born in
the home, down in The Smoky Hill
Country, where her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. John Heiken, now reside and
sudden death in the prime of splen-
did Young womanhood, makes the
bereavement especially severe. AS a
pupil in school she was among the
brightest, and as a friend she was the
embodiment of truth and faithfulness;
and nowhere did these virtues mani
fest themselves more than in her
home and there, too, they were the
most appreciated. The short week
of her sickness especially brought
into clearer view the beauties of her
character. Her voice, so often heard
in joyous song, is hushed; her closed
eyes return not the farewell look, nor
do the marble lips, the farewell kiss.
She sleeps peacefully and silently, her
pain and suffering passed, for God, in
his infinite mercy, has called her to
rest. Like a sunbeam she has come
and gone, leaving only loneliness.
Alma thou art gone from us forever
and in our homes we will miss thee
for thou wilt come oh, never; but the
angels whisper that our darling is in
l the land of love and that she is wait
ing close beside The Golden Stair.
So weeping we give up our treasure,
And lay darling Alma to rest;
But we know in our hearts we shall find
4 her,
By and by in the home of the blest. "

PERJURY TRIAL is
DRAWING BIG CROWDS

An attempt to prove the persecution
of his wife by John G. Berry vindictive
is one Of the main, features in the de-
Tense Of Emma G. Berry on trial for
alleged perjury before Judge John Day
Smith. In the cross examination Of
Mr.. Berry, called by the state, Captain
Hart brought out the animus Of the
witness and impressed upon the jury
that the witness had been hunting up
evidence against the defendant and
seeking in every way to bring disgrace
upon her for nearly two years. Mr..
Berry admitted that he was the prose-
cution'' in the present case.
In opening the defendants case
counsel called William j. Painter ALB his
first witness. He testified that Mr..
Berry had talked with him about his
divorce case and the present prosecu-
ton a few weeks ago and had declared:
81 will put my wife and the rest of
them behind the bars at Saltwater
within month or two. -
The witnesses who testified for Mrs.
Berry at her divorce trial; and are now
under Indictment are to be called by the
defense. They will tell the same story
they told then and the defense, while
admitting that perjury may have been
committed in the divorce trial, will try
to throw it on the prosecution.
The case is attracting large crowds
in fact Judge Smith g court room is sc
| filled with curious onlookers that wit
| nesses and officers of the court are able
] to force their way into the court room
only at the risk Of physical injury.

WALKER NAY Be
ON A BLIND LEAD.
GAS ARBITRATION rs FAR AHEAD
AT BEST.
No Action Can Be Taken TILL the su-
preme Court Decision Is Handed
Down, and if Trial Court Is Reversed
There Will Be Nothing to Arbitrate.

At the meeting Of the council COM
mittee on gas next Monday afternoon
the aldermen will run up againstAa Sc
rious legal question, in the event that
they attempt to approve Alderman
Platt B. Walkers resolution calling for
an arbitration on the price Of gas.
While the city officials are correct in
for street lighting exists, because oil
the decision of the district court, hold
ing that the action of the council in
awarding contracts by the adoption Of
mere committee report, this decision
does not dispose Of the rights Of the gas
company.
The appeal to the supreme court is
held by competent attorneys to have
stayed any further council proceedings
the appeal. While many people expect
and hope that the supreme court will
sustain the ruling of the district court
and uphold the mayor in his position
that street-lighting contracts must be
awarded by formal resolution, it is pos
sible that the supreme court may re-
| verse the district court. In that event.
the Minneapolis Gas Light company,
the Minneapolis General Electric com
pany and the Patterson Street Lighting
company will be entitled to bonafde
| contracts, which the city officials must
execute.
If the gas company has contract
which the council has voluntarily voted
there is no dispute between the two re.
garding prices, and without such dis;
agreement there is no ground for arbi
| tration. ~,
Should the lower court be. sustained
the former proceedings are nullified and
the council can then raise the question
Of prices. It is likely that the supreme
court will not speak for months to come
and hence, in either event, it will be :
long time before arbitration proceed
ings can be inaugurated. In the opin
ion of authorities on legal points, there

WOMEN WILL FIGURE AS
NATIVE "SONS" OF MINI,

Some of the Native Sons Of Mime
sofa will be women. At the annual
meeting Of the organization held at
the Donaldson tearooms last evening
the motion to admit women was unani-
mously carried, as it was acknowledged
that the women pioneers had just as
large part in the real history of the
state as the men. The proposal to re-
duce the minimum age limit from 35
to Is years was defeated in spite Of the
argument that the larger the associa-
ton the more it could accomplish. The
question was complicated by motion
to reduce the limit to, 81 years Of age,
and this killed the project.
Officers were elected as follows last
night: President: DR.. Leo M. Crafts;
first vice president, Judge Robert Jami-
son; second vice president, Frank w.
Cook; secretary, Harlow A. Gale; treas
urer, f. l.. GOWen.
After. the business meeting the an.
nual banquet was held, the most inter.
esting feature being the absence OF
speeches. Captain John Taper, the old
| ferryman at Nicollet island, was pres
| emit and was greeted with much pleas
! ure.
Following the banquet, Edward A
Bromley gave an especially interesting
talk on early days in Minneapolis and
St. Paul, illustrated by stereopticor
views from old photographs and da
guerreotypes. Most Of the scenes were
wildly remembered by most of those
present.

GRAB
DIVORCE EVIDENCE
KoFoED CASE IN MINNEAPOLIS
INVOLVES QUARLEs FAMILY.
Milwaukee Man Gets History Of Case in
Which Husband Alleges Wife Desert
ed Him to Live with Relative Of
Former Wisconsin Senator Decree Is
Granted.

Judge D. F. Simpson has granted a
divorce to Anthem Dahl Kofoed from
Anita Kofoed, the daughter Of promi-
nent Baltimore family and now alleged
to be living in Hamburg, Germany,
with Edward L. Quarles, near relative
of Judge and former United States SEN
ator Quarles Of Milwaukee, Wis.
In his findings Of fact the judge
states that the evidence is conclusive
that the defendant, shortly after her
marriage with Kofoed, sustained illegal
relations with young Quarles, and is
now living with him openly.
The case attracted more than ordi-
nary interest at the time Of it's hearing
several weeks ago on account of the
prominence of the parties interested.
The defendant was Anita Carol Nc,
lavish Elder of Baltimore. She was
prominent socially and her family is one
of the oldest and best known in Mary
land where she Is direct descendant
Of Charles Carol, the last signer Of the
declaration Of independence. Miss Ell
der was also known in Baltimore on &C
count OF her efforts on the stage: =.
Kofoed, a Minneapolitan and they went
to Germany on a wedding trip. Not
more than a month after the ceremony
the young wife deserted the bridegroom
it is alleged, for Edward L. Quar1es, to
meet whom she is claimed to have mar.
ried Kofoed, and travelled abroad.
The case has caused unusual interest
in political circles in Wisconsin, and A.
]. Dietrich Of Milwaukee has ordered a
transcript of all the evidence and a
copy of all the exhibits in the case. Tt
what use they may be placed is, Of
course, unknown, but it has been sug
gested that the order may have some
political Significance.

BIDS FOR LAKE TRAFFIC
GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY Or
r DERS NEW CARS AND WILL RUN
MORE FREQUENT TRAINS.

South shore cottagers at Lake Mime
tonka will not be able to crow over the
north shore people about the frequent
electric service they are going to have
to and from the city. The Great North
ern road is going to take care Of the
north shore, and will 90 the south shore
people one better by serving both the
upper and lower lake.
Five more daily trains than were
scheduled last summer are promised by
the Great Northern officials, and last
seasons trains practically constituted
an hourly service. To prepare for the
best service possible the company has
relaid the track as far as Mound with
new s0-pound steel. When the season
opens the company will have new cars
built especially for suburban service,
with clearly cane seats. and other APP
pointments common to such service in
other parts of the country. r..
| These trains will be hauled by extra
large, quick arting locomotives Of the
les class, which have a reputation
for annihilating distance. These en-
gines will make it possible to- lower
the time to Mound and back without
effort.
| Whenever special occasions call for
extra heavy travel, the Great Northern
will not be found wanting, or niggardly
in affording all the trains needed.

TWO BIG GUNS PASS
THRU MINNEAPOLIS

Two huge oast-defense guns, that oc-
cupied nearly every inch Of space on
a large fatcar, passed thru Minneapo.-
lis yesterday on their way to Puget
sound. The car bearing the monster
cannon was turned over by an eastern
to a western line in the Minnesota
Transfer yards.
Tho the exact destination and the
purpose of the guns were kept secret by
the freight officials, they say that
there has been a considerable move
ment Of cannon recently.
It is thought that the guns will be
placed in the masked batteries that
the government is placing along the
Pacific coast. Tho it is known that
Pacific defenses are fast being built
the government has not given the move
ment wide publicity, and hence tn.
mystery surrounding the destination Of
the big guns that are passing thru Min
neapolis from the eastern arsenals.
