State Historical Society Not in {

Eor An Exono; - ,fiop

st. Paul, May 10.-Failing to adopt
the recommendation of it's special
museum committee, that money be
appropriated with which to take the
famous Kensington rhinestone to
Europe for further investigation, the
Minnesota Historical society, at a
meeting took action which resulted in
of the stone, H. r. Holland, that it
would be shipped out of the state.
The meeting was the final business
meeting of the spring for the society
and the committees recommendation
was unanimous. Unexpected opposi-
ton developed, however, and the
vote to continue the investigation in
Europe failed by small margin. The
society, instead, authorized its mu-
scum committee to continue its in
vestigation in this country.
The famous stone tells in dra-
matte way of supposed visit OF
Morse explorers to what is now
Minnesota in 1362-one hundred and
thirty years before Columbus.

PROBE THE POISONING
Of DR.. AND MRS. DAVIS

Trustees of the Minnesota Soldiers
the county attorney and sheriff of
Hennepin county to investigate the
alleged arsenical poisoning of five
persons. including DR.. E. J. Davis
and his wife, by coffee supplied from
the hospital storehouse, and to en-
power the executive committee to
employ skilled detectives to ferret
out the poisoner.
Crush Spirit of Complaining.
Then, in an effort to crush ''spir-
it of complaining and unrest" at the
institution, G. w. Nash, the veteran
who put stop to the custom of
charging each inmate 81 quarter
for table help, was summarily dis
charged from the home
No doubt was expressed by the
trustees or the officials of the institu-
ton that the arsenic was put in the
coffee Intentionally. DR.. and Mrs. E.
J. Davis, Dr. and Mrs. A. j. Heron
and the maid, Hilga Johnson, who
got the coffee from the hospital, were
the sufferers. DR.. and Mrs. Davis
are still sick abed.
Did Not Think He Had Enemy.
Dr. Davis said he had no idea that
he had an enemy in the home. Com
mandant F.. H. Barnard and COM
mittee of the board of trustees made
investigation, it was stated, but all
were baffled by lack of discoverable
motive.
Coffee from the same source was
used in the hospital afterward with
no bad effects.
The arsenic was in large pieces
and had evidently not been ground
when the coffee was put through the
grinder. Secretary Harries of the
board said that probably the drinking
of the coffee would have been fatal
had not arsenic been present in such
quantities as to sicken rather than
poison.
Dr. and Mrs. K. j. Davis are for
mer residents of Mankato.

Passenger No. SOB Encountered q
Pile of Ties on Track Near Rock
land Wis., Yesterday

What is believed to have been an
attempt to wreck and possibly rob
passenger train No. 500 on the North
western Monday morning near Rock
land. Wis, was frustrated when a
northbound fast freight struck six
heavy hardwood ties that had been
carefully placed on the track, dis
abling the engine. Train SOB arrives
in MankatO at 1880 daily.
1t is believed by railroad authori-
ties that the ties were placed on the
track between the hours of four and
4:3O in the morning by persons who
were planning on wrecking and rob-
bling the passenger train, which
leaves Sparta at 4:45 a. m. and
which would have reached the OBJ
struction about 5:55. No. SOB is a
through passenger, going to South
Dakota
The freight train was in charge
of Conductor Magler and Engineer
Loos. Loos was thrown, with his
fireman, from their seats by the force
of the collision with the ties. The
engine was disabled on one side, and
was barely able to creep into Ban
gor where it was necessary to obtain
another engine before the run could
be continued.
The agent at Bangor Immediately
notified Superintendent Villas at Bar
aboo and the authorities are making
every effort to land the parties re-
spOnsible.

Hayward, Wis, May 1O.-John

likes in his examination of witnesses
has been taken from him. Although
the prosecution shrugged it's six
shoulders at the pro-Deitz testimony
given yesterday afternoon by Cap
tain Robert Kane Of Milwaukee, the
expert gun man, 1t met Deitz this
morning bristling with legal points
and pinned him down to strict court
procedure. The new and intangible
resistance angered 'the old man"
to such an extent that for the first
time since the trial began he includ-
ed Judge Reid. sitting in cases, in
his general suspicion. Deitz spent
much of the morning trying to i'm
peach the testimony of the state. He
brought out one point in which the
deputy who was with Oscar Harp

killed him could have come from no
place but the barn but later reversed
his statement. The impeachment eff

WHEN DID BOW TO THE
KING AND QUEEN TODAY

London, May 10.-Vivien, Lady
Decies, the second daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. George Jay Gould, today
won signal social triumph at the
very outset of her career in England
by being the first American present
ed to King George and Queen Mary.
The presentation took place today
at Buckingham Palace during the
course of the first court. Mrs. White
law Reid, wife of the American am
bassador, introduced Lady Decies to
their majesties, and the girl from
Uncle Sans land curtesied and bow
ed with as much grace and ease as
if she had been accustomed to hob
mob with royalty all her short life.
Created Quite a CommotIon.
The precedence given to Lady Dec.
les created quite a commotion among
the Yankee peeresses, who did not
relish the idea of being displaced by
the latest recruit to their ranks. The
list of debutantes and brides for
presentation at today's court was the
longest ever dealt with, and many
remain to be presented at the courts
to be held May "a and 25.
While Lady Decies was most cor
dial to their majesties today, it is
known that the petted daughter of
the Goulds is somewhat "peeved" be-
cause Queen Mary has put the ban
of her official displeasure on hobble
gowns. The gorgeous trosseau of
that Gould girl'-as the jealous
American noblewomen call her-in-
cludes numberless costumes with
tight skirts and hobble effects.
Edict Against Hobbies.
If she bows to the edict of the
queen-and she did today-she will
have to abandon a good part of her
wardrobe and have new ones made
in the fuller fashions favored by the
queen. Even her wedding gown has
had to be remodeled to meet the
almost Victorian prudishness of
Queen Mary, who falls in a faint at
sight of any gown which offers the
slightest suggestion that ladies have
legs. Friends of Lady Decies say that
it will take about thousand Ameri-
can railroad men a year to pile up
enough profits to replace the ward
robe her ladyship with gowns that
will pleaSe the Queen

MUST GIVE WHITTIER
TRIAL, LEGAL ADVICE

Attorney General Simpson has in
formed the board of control that in
order to remove Superintendent
Whittier from the management OF
the training school at Redwing
charges must be filed and he must
be given a hearing.
In reply to questions asked in a
recent letter Mr.. Simpson has held
as follows:
Neither the resolution nor testi-
mittee constitute written charges as
contemplated by the law. on which
the board is authorized to act
Excerpts from the governors let
ter to the board of control complain
ing against Whittier and his refusal
to resign do not constitute charges
OH which the board is authorized to
act.
'The legislature had the power to
remove Whittier if it had chosen to
remove him.
The board of contgOl, because of
the legislative investigation. is not
precluded from holding further in
vestigation.
Complaint Must Be Formal.
The plan which should be pur-
sued in ousting Whittier, is outlined
by Mr.. Simpson, as follows:
Upon the foregoing the duty of
the board of control is to await the
filing before it of specific charges
by some person other than a mem
Der of the board of control. That
thereupon a copy thereof be fur
nished to Mr.. Whittier, and he be
given an opportunity to be heard at
a time and place to be fixed by the
board. Such complaint under the
law must be limited to allegations
of misconduct. incompetency, or neg
lect of official duty. Thereupon
the board of control should take the
testimony and determine the contro-
versy thereon according to its
merits, removing the officer COM
planned of if the evidence warrants
such action, otherwise dismissing
the complaint"
AS the result of Mr.. Simpsons
findings, the matter is left in pc
culiar condition. The governor has
told the board of control to remove
Whittier, but the board must review
the case after some person has filed
the charges against him. Then, if the
board does not sustain the charges
it has not complied with the drec-
ton of the governor and may be
subject to removal itself, The gov
ernor has authority to remove men,
bers of the board and is not subject
to restraint. 1t is technical point
of law. according to the attorney
general, whether the governor would
be justified in removing members of
the board of control should they
find the charges against Whittier
not sustained and fail to dismiss
him
