REFEREE IS APPOINTED
viii Take Testimony in Hart
Disbarment Case.
JusTIFlEs HIS STATEMENTS
Al Preliminary Hearing Accused AZ.
torney Does Not Withdraw Crit.
IcIsm Of Supreme Court.

Francis B. Hart of Minneapolis ap.
peared at st. Paul before the spe.
cial supreme court appointed by. Gov
ernor Johnson to act In the disbar-
ment proceedings brought against him
by the state board of law examiners
for his criticism OF the supreme court.
Mr.. Hart not only did not offer to
withdraw or modify any Of the state
ments complained Of, but sought to
Justify them on the ground that they
were truthful statements and that in
making them he had not been guilty OF
any violation OF his duty as an attor-
ney at law. He insisted that he was
prepared to stand by his statements.
After the court had overruled his
objection to the petition, which was
based on the. ground that It does not
allege facts SUFFICIENT to constitute an
offense. the court appointed ex.Lieu-
tenant Governor Gideon 8. Ives OF st.
Paul referee, to take the Testimony in
the proceedings and set March 10 as
the date for the final hearing in the
matter. The taking of testimony will
commence at Mr.. Ives office on Jan.
10. Upon the conclusion OF the, evil
dence In chief Of the prosecution the
respondent will be granted, If he SO
requests, ten days in which to pre-
pare his defense. The prosecution will
be required to serve its brief on the
respondent by Feb. 25 and both briefs
must be filed in the court not less than
three days prior to the final hearing.

READY FOR THAW TRIAL.
Second Case Of Murderer Of White on
Docket.

New York, Jan. 6.-District Attor-
ney Jerome and the lawyers for the
defense have cleared ship for the Sec
ond trial of Harry Thaw. He will be
called in the criminal branch of the
supreme court Monday to answer for
the killing of Stanford White. The
trial promises to be replica Of the
first one, with all the original errors
omitted and many new thrills added.
Martin w. Littleton, Daniel O'Reilly
and Russell Peabody say that the de-.
Tense will be insanity-that Harry
Thaw was insane on the night of the
Staying and that he is insane now.
A dramatic feature Of this trial
which did not appear in the previous
one will be the testimony of Ida Vera
Simonton, an actress, who has a
knowledge of facts believed to be
damaging to Thaw, and makes no
secret of her enmity toward him. Dur
ing the first trial Miss Simonton was
in Africa. The defense stands ready
to make an effort to impeach her tes-
timony.
Mrs. ]. G. Holman, mother of Eve
Ign 'Thaw, will again be conspicuous,
1t is expected. She aided the prosecu-
ton in the first trial, but it Is rumored
she has undergone change of heart.

A PRIVATE ENTERPRISE.
Court So Declares Minnesota Univer.
x sity Athletic Association.

Vourt so declares Minnesota Univor.
sity Athletic Association.
The University Athletic association,
Is a private and not state. institu.
ton. This has been decided in a de.
cision handed down by Judge Brown In,
the Hennepin county district court in
the case of Edward E. George VS.. the
University Of Minnesota Athletic as.
ISOLATION, In which the plaintiff sought
to recover damages because OF injuries
sustained at. game at the uniyer.
sity field last fall.
Upon the fling of the complaint the
state demurred, claiming under the
statutes and constitution the state
could not be made defendant in action
for damages.
The theory was that the state, being
all the people. could not be sued by
one Of itself.
Arguments were lengthy, but In
making his decision the court allows
the complaint and the case will come
to trial under the theory that the !.
soctation is private enterprise and
has nothing to do with the university
or the state.

Guild IN OFFICE
FOR THIRD Term
MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNOR 10
AGAIN iNAUGuRATED AT
BOSTON.
SCORES CONDITION
OF TRANSPORTATION
State Roads Come In for Playing at
Hands Of Occupant Of euberna-
toriaI chair-Makes Plea for Peace
Of Nations.

Boston, Jan. 3.-Curtis Guild, Jr.,
was inaugurated Thursday for a
third term as governor OF Massachu-
sets. The two houses were Assem-.
bled in joint convention, and several
hundred business men crowded the
atsles Of the chamber and the area
In front of the speakers desk, while
the galleries were filed with women.
The oath having been administered to
Gov. Guild and Lieut.. Gov. Draper,
the former proceeded to read his
inaugural address. He said:
Talks of Need Of Peace.
+ THE need of to-day is peace, and
peace with honor-peace between ma
tions, comfy between states, good
temper as well as honesty between
individuals. We must enforce, we
have enforced the law, whether those
who encroach upon it's provisions are
corporations or individuals. We must
control, We have controlled great pub
lie service corporations. The alterna-
ton of such control is not Individual
ism, but socialism. If, however, there
is a year when it is particularly de.
sirable to avoid recklessly sensational
onslaughts on property, shattering
public confidence, curtailing COM
merce, checking investment, reducing
alike the earnings of capital and the
employment Of labor, 1T is this year,
1908.
Traction Needs Solution.
THE most serious question to be
determined in this session is the set
Element Of the transportation prob
lens Of Massachusetts,. It should be
taken up In broad spirit, free from
prejudice. Especially should legisla-
tive action that is merely destructive
be avoided. No policy which has not
been thoroughly and carefully fol-
lowed to its conclusions should be
adopted. 1t is not an exaggerated
charge, but simple statement Of
fact, to say that no steam railroad
operated In Massachusetts is giving
the service that 1t should give to the
public.
Delays in Shipments.
apelay in the shipment of freight and
2 general hardness of all trains has
marked the service on all OF our rail-
roads. Existing law is inadequate to
deal with public control of railroads.
The Massachusetts, railroad commits
sion, the pioneer in state control Of
public service corporations, should be
clothed with ampler powers. It should
at least be given the same control Of
railroads within Massachusetts that is
given to the interstate commerce
commission in regard to roads doing
an interstate business"

ROBBERS WOUND OFFICER
FAN to Secure Booty From Bank at
Sleepy Eye.

The attempted robbery of the State
bank of Sleepy Eye was foiled by
Night Policeman Roman Kruger.
That the robbers were not profession
ais was shown by the crude outfit of
tools which was left behind and which,
1t Is suspected, was stolen from pas
senger coaches and the roundhouse in
this city.
In making his rounds Kruger went
through an alley near the bank and
was Knocked down from the rear by a
robber stationed on guard with club.
The officer was also badly gashed with
q knife. The robbers then ran away
and there is no clue to their identity,
