$4,000 FRAUD
SUIT STARTED
Sensational Testimony Expected
in Case Brought by Widow
of Prominent Citizen.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 15.-Judge C.
+. Amidon in federal court yesterday
denied the application of Louis C.
Ehle, Chicago lawyer, to have his an
swer in the Caroline M. King case re-
instated, thereby beginning the un-
travelling process in one of the most
complicated and entangled legal cases
ever tried in Minneapolis.
Mrs. King, widow of William T.
King, who was a leading citizen Of
Minneapolis generation ago and who
left fortune, alleges that Carleton
Hudson, a Chicago lawyer, through I'M
due influence an dthreats of exposure
of alleged family secrets, secured from
her practically her entire fortune of
$4,000 in the form of long suces-
sion of promissory notes, based on
mortgages on valuable Minneapolis
real estate, title to which Mrs. King,
impoverished in her old aga, now has
lost.
Mrs. King, who is rs years of age,
is expected to take the witness stand.
Miss Marguerite Hudson, daughter of
Carleton Hudson, will also appear.
Whether other women involved will
be brought into the case at this time
is uncertain.
Mrs. King gave notes to Hudson,
who disposed of about $38, 5000 of them
to Louis c. Ehle, who turned them
over to E. A. St. John, a prominent
Chicago club man, who obtained judy
ment on them.
The Moody church of Chicago holds
some of Mrs. Kings notes. H. V.
Mercer was prepared to ask the court
to make ruling that all persons in
any way involved as note holders or as
otherwise interested be made defend
ants. This, according to Mr.. Mercer,
when made, would make the plaintiff S
attorney defendants in the case.

LOOKS
FOR AcQUl'I||''T'|''AL

r have not the least fear of the
outcome Of my case and am perfectly
willing to- stand or fall with the de-
cision Of the jury selected" said John
R. Meining, sheriff of ST. Louis county
in Duluth yesterday. The interview
was given a Virginia newspaper man
who was in the Zenith City on bust
ness.
Mr.. Meining said that the taking
Of testimony would be finished early
this morning and that the arguments
of County Attorney Warren E. Greene
FOR the state and Attorney Fryberger
for the defense, would not take up
more than one and one half hours.
Mr.. Meining expected that the case
would be in the hands Of the jury not
later than 8 o'clock this afternoon.
"Doing favors for prisoners at the
county jail is a serious matter, as I
have found OUT" said Sheriff Mem
ing. 'This fellow St. Marie, who has
testified so bitterly against me is one
of the most contemplate ingrates that
l have ever come across. This fellow
was serving time on white slavery
charge. He pleaded with me to let
him out so that he could attend the
confirmation exercises at certain
church in which his little sister was
to take part. st. Marie had already
served long time and I figured that
he had been sufficiently punished and
that he earnestly desired to reform.
His little sister came to the jail and
pleaded with me. Finally I relented
and let him go.
|1f I am reelected sheriff of St..
Louis county, (and I sincerely think
that will be), no favors will be shown
to any prisoners who are placed in
my keeping. The Jail rules will be
observed to the very letter.

ENGINEERING COLLEGE
GAINS IN ATTENDANCE

ST. PAUL, Oct. 15.-President Geo.
E. Vincent issued a statement today
correcting an earlier announcement OF
the registration officials which showed
a decrease in the attendance of the
college of engineering at the Univer-
sity of Minnesota.
The statement follows:
'In the table made public October
4 the college Of engineering showed a
loss Of sixteen. AS a matter Of fact
there was an increase of twenty-six
and this in spite of the fact that rs
students we're dropped last year be-
cause of unsatisfactory work. While
the gain is due in some measure to the
introduction of architectural growth
in the college as whole.
"The revision of the figures makes
total gain up to October for the
whole university of 341 students, an
increase Of 81 per cent over a year
ago."

WAR SPIRIT SHOWN
 BY YALE STUDENTS
Eli Undergraduates Parade Shouting
 "W1 is HeI|!!'

New Haven, April 2O.--Ex-Presi- dent Taft, President Hadley, Secre- tary Stokes, and Prof. William Lyon Phelps of Yale last night told 2,000 Yale undergraduates of the serious ness of the Mexican situation, and predicted a stubborn war if the con flict should be begun. Their speeches were invited by an undergraduate demonstration impromptu on the campus. The students formed and marched to the residences of the uni- versity officials and called for ad- dresses on the Mexican situation.
 Prof. Taft said the situation resem- bled that of the Philippines fifteen years ago. He predicted long fight, costing thousands of lives. if war should be begun. because of the need of garrisoning every large town In Mexico.
 President Hadley told the students that today was the most serious of their lives, if war was to follow, as seemed likely. Prof. Phelps asserted that war was wicked and absurd. Secretary Stokes said he hoped Pres ident Wilson would exhaust every re- course before war was declared.
 Ex-President's Speech.
 The parade climbed Prospect Hill and called MT. Taft to his veranda. The ex-president said:
 "war is a dreadful thing. Gen Sherman said war was hell. When friends and family leave you in great conflict, when your comrades are sacrificed you know it is fearful. After war come defects in govern ment, dishonesty, great expense on pensions. A war in Mexico would be most difficult to carry through though of course we would carry it through and would conquer. Tonight an expert, a man who knows the sit- uation as few know it, tells me we would need from 350,00O to 500,0O0 troops, and that it would be most difficult problem.
 But after war comes a more diff ficult task. When it comes to tran utilizing a country, great territory, where both sides will go into the bushes and carry on a guerilla war fare, it is gigantic problem. know. because I have had experience. The problem in Mexico would not be dissimilar to the one in the Philip pines, where the natives took to the swamps, the bushes, the mountains. and where it was necessary to sacri- flee thousands of splendid fellows to drive them out.
 This war we are talking of would mean the garrisoning of every town and village in Mexico. It would be easy by comparison to capture the cities, but the tranquilizing of the land would be long fight. It would mean. training our men to run as fast as the Mexicans can. In closing, l can

 'I hope and trust that President Wilson and his cabinet will avoid armed conflict, and l hope they will do everything that is best and right for us and nothing that is wrong to any nation. If we must have war, may it be speedy and for the best in terests of Mexico. as we'll as our selves. However, hope there will be no war"
 War Is Wicked.
 Prof William Lyon Phelps, when called to his doorstep, said:
 My opinion about war is not valu- able. However, I think the time has gone by for war. There should be no war in this day and generation. It Is not only wicked, but it is an absurdity in our time. am not familiar with the inside of the situa- tion, except as I can be familiar through reading what the papers and magazines have been able to tell us all.

Say only that I fervently hope God may avert this war"
 Hadley Addresses Students.
 Called to his doorstep, MT. Hadley said:
 You come at a serious time. can remember the days of '61, and that. too, was a most serious crisis. I know nothing of the probability of war, but hope that you will ever re- gard your patriotism as something not alone to be talked about, to be ex- pressed in emotion, but as something which may mean great suffering to many. Whether war is inevitable know not. If so, this is the most serious day of your young lives. Whatever transpires I trust that you will take your patriotism to heart. that you will realize the full measure of your responsibility, and that you will make good. I know that you will always rem ember and be prompted by the inspirations which are ex- pressed in our motto: For God. for Country, and for Yale.
