ABOUT The STATE
News Of Especial Interest to
Minnesota Readers.
GORDON AbANDONS SCHEME
Lieutenant Governor Decides Not to
Summon State Legislature In
Extra Session.

The little group of advisers which
| had gathered around Lieutenant Gov.
! ernor Sam Y. Gordon at St. Paul
| the last few days urging him to step
| into the governors office in the alb.
sence of the chief executive and call a
i special session of the legislature has
! dispersed. --
J A brief statement was issued by Mr..
| Gordon, in which he declared that he
had never sanctioned any statement
that he would call the extra session
il he did assume the oflce and that
his previous opinion had been that he
had no authority to act in a case of
this kind.
Thus ended what has been the most
exciting two days at the capitol for
many months or years and it is as
serted by many that, with the sudden
end OF the extra session talk, also end
ed the hopes of the Gordon candidacy
for governor. His managers, however,
will not concede that it has seriously
injured him, although they do not as
sert that they gained anything by
what happened. .--...s Il
The opinion of the attorney general
was disappointment to the Gordon
people, who had assumed, because Mr..
Simpson referred to the Frank A. Day
case, that he would rule favorably to
them. Mr. Simpson had merely an
swered the question Of a reporter as
to whether the point had been passed
on in this state by referring to the
Day case. When the matter was put
up to him officially he searched fur
ther and found the Nebraska case
holding that the governor upon his
return could revoke an extra session
called by the lieutenant governor

BREN Is AGAIN INDICTED
Another True Bill Against Former
Minnesota "U" Treasurer.

Another indictment has been re-
turned at Minneapolis against Joseph
D. Bren, former treasurer of the Uni
versity of Minnesota, already under in
dictment on charges of being short
more than $4,000. The indictment
charges failure to turn over to the
state treasurer public funds intrusted
to him.
Bren says he was robbed last spring
Of $4,000 on the university campus
Aside from this there is also an al
legged shortage of nearly $1,000. Some
money was turned over to the uni

Sympathizers Break Windows and
Strikebreakers Quit.
Violence developed in the street car
motorman's strike at Winona and 1t
brought to halt the attempt of the
company to resume service.
One of the three cars on the line
was attacked by sympathizers in the
extreme outskirts of the city, where
stones and bottles were hurled through
the windows.
No one was hurt and no arrests were
made. Immediately afterward all of
the cars were taken off and the city is
again without street car service.
Adequate police protection has been
demanded by the receivership. Strike
breakers from Chicago manned the
cars, three of which were in operation
until the trouble developed.

CUBS FALL HEIRS
To THE TIGERS
SPRING CAMP
Murphy Sends Word To Chicago That
He's Stuck On San Antonio
As a 1911 Training
Base. !,
President of National League Cham
pions Now in the Neighborhood
and Is Very Favorably Impressed. .

CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-The Chicago
National league team probably Will
train at San Antonio, Texas, after
1918.
This Is the semi-official report from
the Cub headquarters here today fol-
lowing a conference In San Antonio
between President c. w. Murphy and
the management Of the San Antonio
team.
The Cub magnate, however. still has
a two-year contract to train In New
Orleans He Is said To contemplate
change then and Is favorable TO San
kntonio.
Murphy will spend some time on
the immense ranch OF Charles p. Taft
near Corpus Christi, on his present
trip, fishing and hunting.
That some big-league club would
snap up the quarters which Detroit
left vacant at San Antonio was re-
garded as certain by the members OF
either OF the parties which have occu-
pied the Texas training camp In 1909
or 1910.
In all probability. the Tigers would
still be retaining II, but for the rift
in pleasant relations with the San An
tonic management, due TO the fact
that the Tigers failed to leave play
er behind last year az q sort OF
ground rent.
Whether or not Monroe will serve
the purpose as well remains TO be
seen. It's climate Is not nearly as
warm or as dry as that OF San An
tonic and its accommodations will
have to be close to the ideal to equal
that of the South Texas metropolis.
There is a pleasant time and a lot
of fine workout opportunity In case
the Cubs do their spring work at San
Antonio.
