REFUSED TO PROSECUTE
Mclver, Who Was Sold a "Phony'
Watch In St. Paul.

Hyman Machinsky and Abraham
Marks, the st. Paul men charged with
swindling Alexander McIvor of Man
kato, near the Union depot, st. Paul
were dismissed by the police Judge yes
terday, owing to want of prosecution
Mc1vor passed through the city a few
days ago on his way from Mankato to
Butte, Mont. While sojourning in ST.
Paul he caused the arrest of Machinsky
and Marks, complaining that they had
caused a "phony" watch to be sold to
him. He stated that while he was in
the store with these men fourth party
came rushing in, pretending to be very
eager to sell watch. He had to get a
train right away and wanted to raise a
few dollars on the piece of jewelry Me-
Ivor said Machinsky and Marks gave
him the wink, as much as to say
There is your chance" He accordingly
bought the watch for Sc.
1t seems that McIvor expected Ma,
chinsky and Marks to restore the money
to him and take the 'phony" article
back after he had discovered the worth
less quality of the watch and caused
their arrest. This they did not do.
The police endeavored to persuade Nc
Ivor to remain as a witness for the
prosecution, but he insisted on taking
the train out of town. Z.

APPLICATION DENIED.
City Loses Round in the Bro
Street Paving Lite alton.

Judge Cray today filed identical de-
| cisions in the cases of the city of Man
kato against the lots of the two prop
erty owners who are fighting the collec-
ton of the Broad street paving assess
ment The action is on the petition of
the city to the owners of the lots di-
recting that they show cause why the
plaintiff should not be relieved from the
mistake of admitting upon the trial of
the cause certain allegations of the an
swer and reopening the ACTION for fur
Their proof in the premises, The court
orders that the plaintiffs application be
denied and the order to show cause dis
charged; without prejudice, however, TO
the rights of plaintiff to renew the APP
plication if the supreme court of the
state shall order a new trial or the
cause or the matter again comes before
the court for further or other proceed
ings.
The following memorandum accom-
panles the order:
81 think that this court has jurisdic-
ton and the power in the exercise of its
discretion to grant the plaintiff the re-
lief asked for. And the fact that 1T
would have been expensive for the prop
erty owners to prove the allegations OF
their answer, had they not been admit
ted, is not entitled to much considera-
ton upon this motion. But it seems to
me that it would be very unj Just to the
property owners to now open tins case
for further proof, they having done SO
much work and incurred such great eX-
pense Incorporating this case Tor review
since it was known to plaintiff that the
property owners so greatly relied upon
the stipulated facts herein involved.

Order To Give Attorneys a
Free Hand.
Especial to The Free Press

New York, March 20-The Thaw trial
came to a sudden stop today on a state
ment to the court by District Attorney
Jerome that all the facts in possession
of counsel for the defense regarding the
mental condition of the defendant were
not being brought out. He did not ask
for a lunacy commission but left the
matter to the conscience of the court.
Justice Fitzgerald at once excused the
jury until Friday morning but will hold
court tomorrow afternoon to hear testi-
mony regarding the appointment of a
lunacy commission. Both sides declared
they would be prepared by that time to
sumbit affidavits for and against such
action. DR.. Hamilton declared on the
stand today that the defendant was in
capable of conducting his defense.

FENCE CATCHES FIRE
ON PALACE AVENUE
Small Blaze Last Night In Rear Of
Home of Forest Supervisor
Ross Mcmillan.

An alarm was turned in last night
shortly after 9 O'Clock which called
the fire department to Mrs. W. A. Nc
Kenzle's residence on upper Palace
Avenue which is occupied at present
by Ross Mcmillan, the forest super
visor, and mis- family. The blaze had
been extinguished, however, before
the arrival of the fire fighting appara-
tus.
A dense cloud of smoke was discov-
cred issuing from the back yard and
upon investigation the wooden fence
in the rear was found to be on fire.
The flames were promptly put out
with buckets of water before the fence
had entirely burned or the fire COM
municated with any of the adjacent
sheds. The loss is insignificant, not
more than SIS.
A large crowd was attracted to the
scene as the hour was early and there
were a number on the streets.

BURLINGTON MODIFIES
ITS ANNOUNCEMENT
Two Cent Rate Will Apply Only in
States Where Such Law Exists
Local Rates in Others.

Denver. July 11.-An error was
made yesterday in the statement that
the Burlington Railroad would make
a two cent rate over its entire sys-
TEN. John F. Vallery, general agent
of the road in Denver, explains the
new tariff system of the Burlington
by saying that two cent rate will
prevail for through as we'll as local
traffic in the states where a two cent
law has been passed but that in other
states there is no reduction on local
traffic.
Thus residents of Colorado and
Wyoming will have to pay the regu-
lar local rate to the state line but can
buy through tickets to any point in
the states where two cent rate pre-
walls by paying the local rate plus the
two cent rate.
Previous to this order it was nee
essary to buy local tickets in each
state to obtain advantage of the two
cent rate. The new tariff will go into
effect In about month.
