BOOM HAMMOND
FOR PRESIDENCY
GOVERNOR-ELECT REFUSES TO
DISCUSS MENTION AS POS
SlBLE CANDIDATE.
VOTE AGAINST PROHIBITION
Declares Hobson Resolution Was Bad
Because 1t Woula Simply Turn
Business Over to Canadian
Srewers and Disti!lcrs,

ST. Paul.-Governor-ele w. S. Ham.
mond is not counting mention as pos
sible candidate for president. On his
arrival in Minnesota to prepare for
assuming the governors duties next
Monday, Mr.. Hammond refused to dis
cuss the boom started for him in some
OF the eastern papers. 1t grew out Of
1T the University club, where he has
been living, in Washington. Three
Minnesota republican colleagues,
George R. Smith, James Manahan and
Clarence 3. Miller, all heralded Mr..
Hammond as presidential timber for
the democratic party, according to the
Philadelphia Public Ledger and othc"
eastern papers.
There were some very compliment
tary speeches made, | remember said
Mr.. Hammond, "but I do not believe
the presidency was mentioned. Some
of them said l would grace higher
position or something of that kind,
but that was only the usual compli-
ment of such an occasion"
Defends Vote Against Prohibition.
Defending his vote in Congress
against nationwide prohibition, Mr..
Hammond met a perfect hail Of cues
tons from the st. Paul Ministers as
ISOLATION at the end of his short talk
to the clerical gathering. Mr.. Ham,
mond declined the requests of the min
listers that he outline his ideas for tenn
perance legislation in Minnesota. He
said he did not think much of county
option, but that he was ready to sup
port any measure they would devise
to suppress the evils of the saloons.
The Hobson resolution for national
prohibition was bad, Mr.. Hammond
told the ministers, because it would
simply turn business over to Canadian
brewers and distillers and they could
ship liquor without stint into the
states.
AS long as you permit the use OF
liquor in the United States you should
permit it to be manufactured here. The
Hobson amendment would only be a
slight deterrent, making it somewhat
more difficult to obtain liquor.

STATE NEWS IN BRIEF
WINS sur AGAINST HUDSON
MRS. CAROLINE KING TO HAVE
FORTUNE RESTORED.
Aged Woman Has 100000 Christmas
Present-Court Calls Defend
ant Blackmaier.

Minneapolis, Dec. 26.--In the form
of court decree awarding to her
property valued at more than 100000,
Mrs. Caroline Nj. king, aged plaintiff
against Carleton Hudson in a suit to
recover large part of her husbands
fortune, received the most handsome
Christmas present Of any woman IL
the city.
Judge Asidon of the Federal court
gave an oral decree at the close of
attorneys arguments, which cancelled
all deeds executed by Mrs. King and
all notes given by her to Hudson dur
ing the eleven years Hudson acted as
her business agent.
Hudson Called Blackmailer.
Judge Amidon's oral decree was one
of the most scathing rebukes ever
heard in a court room in this county.
Hudson was characterized as "a min
lister of darkness who exhibited all
the qualities of a confidence man, q
blackmailer and loan shark" He
declared that Louis c.. Ehle was ga
tool" and that ''the two co-conspira-
tors had worked upon the credulity of
the aged woman to rob her of her prop
erty."
The court decree cancels four deeds
to the Haywood property at Fifth and
Washington avenues north, and sets
aside notes amounting to $4,000 held
by Ehle, and notes held by the Moody
church and A. E. Davis. Other notes
held by Mrs. Ella K Johnson, amount
ing to $4,000, while not included in
the award, are adjudged by the decree
to be worthless SO far as being Sc.
cured by property held by Mrs. King.
Declares Notes Obtained by Fraud.
In a sweeping statement the court
declared all the outstanding notes were
obtained by fraud, force and black
mail and that none of the holders was
an innocent purchaser. The relation.
ship of Hudson and Mrs. King as at
torney and client, was the basic prin.
ciple upon which the court made de
cisions. Judge Amidon said that Hud.
son introduced himself to the woman
as her attorney, because of his rela.
tons to her husband before his death
that he held out u her hopes of OBJ,
tanning large. property interests in
Chicago as means of obtaining her
confidence and t"en began system of
'kiting notes and checks" and pad
ding expense accounts until he had
the aged woman in his power and rob.
bed her of everything but q roof over
her head.
with q woman's instinct she chung
to her home" said the court. "If she
had died Sc eral years ago this paper
case would have given Hudson prac
tically all the estate. Had she sold
her home to reduce interest charges
as Hudson advised, she would now be
a penniless old woman. This disgrace
full story shows an unfolding conspir
acy by Hudson and tragedy for Mrs
King"
