INVESTIGATING N. Y. POLICE
Nv HnftAd pnnRa

New York, Dec. Pit was stated
at the Office of District Attorney
Whitman today that he is working in
complete sympathy with the Curran
aldermanic committee, which is in
vestigating police conditions in New
York, and that every move made by
the aldermen has the entire approval
Of the district attorney.
Because of this it is believed that
whenever there is suspicion that
any proposed witness is in any way
connected with the graft payments or
collections he or she will not be per-
mitted to be sworn unless they first
sign the waiver of immunity.
Police Captain John B. Ormsby
will be called late this afternoon, it
is expected, by the committee. He
will be the first of thirty police cap
tains who will be asked what they
know regarding police matters and
the prevention of vice generally.

Indianapolis, Dec. 27.-Whatever
is to be the outcome of the three
months dynamite" trial, in which
forty labor union officials are accused
of completely in the dynamiting plots
now rests with the jury.
Judge Anderson last evening in
structed the jury and ordered It to
retire.
The court then adjourned until

the returning Of verdicts before ths1
time, should they be found.
All verdicts while separate Is to
each defendant, are to be returned at
one time. That the verdict won't
come today was indicated by the
courts instruction to the jurors to
s'carefully weight all the evidence"
indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 27.-As the
impassioned tones of the district at
tOrney died down to the last word OF
his closing argument in the dynamite
conspiracy case at four O'Clock yes
terday afternoon. a dead, momentary
silence filled the packed and dimly
lighted court room and the forty in
d1cted union men gazed intently at
Judge Albert B. Anderson, who faced
them from the bench, his instructions
to the jury held in his hand.
District Attorney Miller's voice
trembled as he closed his argument
with the declaration that the jury's
failure to convict the forty defend
ants would be an everlasting disgrace
to this country.
Judge Anderson began the reading
OF his instructions in a calm. even
voice, the only sound audible in the
marble-trimmed, high ce1linged room.
Wives and relatives of the forty
men, scattered about the room, could
be told at glance as they leaned
forward in their seats to catch every
word spoken by the court.
The forty defendants sat three
deep facing the court and jury.
Some of them leaned forward,
their heads bowed upon their hands.
Others swung nonchalantly backward
and forward in their swivel chairs,
while yet others sat stiff and straight
in their seats, looking straight before
them.
The faces of the twelve jurors, men
whose lives have been spent in the
open, were impressive, almost express
sionless:- They seemed not even to
see the forty men seated to their
right, whose fate was then being
placed in their hands by Judge An
derson.
Judge Anderson instructed the jury
1t must follow the courts interpreter

consider that the court is attempting

ment.

jury that their verdict should Affect

THE MINNEAPOLIS REPORT

Minneapolis, Dec. 27.-The year
1912 opened with promise of a
bountlful harvest throughout the
Northwest. This promise was full
filled and the Northwest raised one
Of the largest crops of wheat and
coarse grains in its history. Weather
conditions were good and the crop
matured favorably for good quality.
During the harvest and threshing
period however a serious labor short
age developed, which proved very
expensive to the farmers. Wages and
threshing fees were the highest ever
paid in the Northwest.
In some sections, particularly
Northwestern North Dakota, Eastern
Montana, and Southern Manitoba,
rain interfered with harvesting to an
extent that probably five to twenty
per cent of the wheat in such sections
has not yet been cut and much of it
will be abandoned. When the grain
was ready for market the price had
declined sharply and the movement
to terminal markets was much slower
than anticipated
While receipts at all of the North
western primary markets have been
heavy since September /, as compared
with the same period for 1911, the
price has been much lower and the
difference between the two years, in
money, is not marked. There is much
of the present crop still in farmers
hands and heavy receipts at primary
markets are looked to for some time
to come.

NORTH DAKOTA HORSES DYING

Ashley, N. D., Dec. 27.-Fearing
the ravages of the disease which de-
cimated the horses of Kansas and Ne
braska, a number of the farmers
and stockmen in this part of the
state permitted a young man to vac
cinate their horses. He used a
blackleg vaccine. A large number of
the animals he treated have died and
many others are in bad shape. There
have been threats of damage suits
against the youth but as Judgment
would be of no value and there is no
way of securing criminal action, there
will proba bly, be no redress for those
who have lost their horses.
