BIG EFFORT BEING MADE

and to Put Mayor Baxter on Defensive-"Pappy" Me-

The, Gang All There.
On the first evening of chief Nc
Kinnon's trial, the Bingoland bunch
was out in force, coming at early
enough an hour to pack the trial cham
Der. When the old chief entered the
chamber, he was hailed with storm OF
applause, cheering and whistling, max
ing the demonstration a wild ovation
It was we'll staged and well pulled off
Those citizens who are anxious to see
law and order maintained and who
stand back Of mayor Baxter with votes
and moral influence, comprised IS pei
cent of the spectators, but they took
no part in the demonstration, one way
or the other. With good taste, due to
good breeding and a proper sense OF
propriety, they refrained from any
INSTRUMENTATION when mayor
Baxter entered the trial chamber.
All this gave rise to a mouthy dec
laration by the Bingoland bunch that
chief McKinnon was a hero in the
public estimation and that no one cares
for mayor Baxter.
Konkel Got Chiefs Thunder.
Idlers, loafers and even bad actors
from Bingoland have pulled off their
"Hail to the Chief' stunt at every
session of the trial. They not only
cheer when their friend and benefacto1
enters the trial chamber, but they ever
are alert to show their approval when
the attorneys for the underworld gang
make especially nasty insinuations
against the advocates of law and order
or against some Of the witnesses.
When mayor Baxter or his attorney
scores, the Bingoland bunch laugh as
nearly like horses as possible, thereby
showing their hate, scorn and contempt
for the man who has stood between
them and their raids on the public.
One day that "Hail to the Chief"
stuff went badly astray. "Silver Joe y
Konkel, former mayor and under whose
regime the underworld bunch prospered,
entered the trial chamber. All the ap-
plause went to "Silver Joe' and there

non slipped into the trial chamber.
That miscarriage in a demonstration
of hero worship made chief McKinnon
and his lawyers feel very sheepish
Leaders of the clacquers have given
strict orders not to let such mistake
occur again.
"Pappy' McCausland Goes Wrong.
Many high-minded, moral, law-ob.
serving people in Superior have been
astonished to see "Pappy" McCaus'
land lined up with the bad actors and
bibulous boys from Bingoland. Law
yer McCausland ever has posed as a
dry man, although he came from old
Missouri, the state of hickory-bark
democrats, mules, pawpaw beer and Sc
cession illiteracy.
"Pappy" McCausland has personal
hatred Of mayor Baxter, said to rest
heavily on party politics. The refugee
from Missouri is what Duluthians call
a HTax-title Shark The old gent.

Brethren from st. Paul.
The defense brought up three wit
nesses from st. Paul to testify to
Chandler bad character and the bad
reputation of his hotel. Under cross
examination one of those witnesses, a
former prize fighter, admitted that he
had lived with a woman known as
"Bess," to whom he was not married.
Another witness, detective from the
Sanity city, said that the Northern
hotel did not have the best of reputa-
ton, which, however, did not prevent
that same detective from coming in
every night to get free supper and a
bottle Of beer from the barkeeper.
The third witness, also a st. Paul
detective, corroborated the first two
witnesses. It is whispered by persons
familiar with the Minnesota capital
that this third witness, an Italian,
while serving as policeman Of his
city, in the name of his wife, con-
Quoted an Italian restaurant la chop
suey, which was a favorite meeting
place Tor the hlghllghts OF the st. Paul
underworld; that he had another estab-
lishment where Dame Chance was the
mistress Of wheel of fortune, and
that he was interested in so-called
hotel with pretty dimpled sirens to en-
terrain the guests, who were chiefly
Of the male gender.
McKinnon Cause Is Weak.
AS these lines are written the de-
Tense has had it's in2ing and the evil
dence has been of a character to prove
to the thinking people of the commun-
ity that McKinnon 8 case has been too
weak to try on its merits, hence his at
torneys have been forced to resort to
subterfuge.
Bad actors have made the boast that
Chief McKinnon cannot be removed
unless he is found guilty of malfeas-
ance in office. Those things are often
as hard to prove as campaign contribu-
tions, but it would he serious condi-
tion if the civil service laws would
prevent the removal of a man for non
feasance in office and inability or un-
willingness to enforce the laws and
keep his department efficient.
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1920-01-10

SUPERIOR, Jan. 7.-(Special to the
Rip-saw.)-The Investigation Of Vim
cent McKinnon, chief of police OF Su
perior, on charges preferred by his SUI
perior officer, mayor Baxter, has come
dangerously near turning out farce
thus far. As play, it is better than
anything offered by the showhouses IN
the Twin Ports. At the time these
Zines written, entirely too little prog
ress and too few results have been
shown.
Cone trouble is due to the fact that
the police commission does not have a
LAWYER in it's membership. AS a result,
a great mass of irrelevant and imma-
teriaI evidence has been permitted to
90 into the records. Of course the cir
cult court will throw out all that, in
case of an appeal, but it cumbers the
record, confuses the real facts and en-
ables the Bingolanf bunch, back OF
McKinnon, to put up a good bluff at
trying Baxter instead Of McKinnon.
Three Main Features.
There are three main features of this
trial of chief McKinnon, viz:
1.-The defense is making frantic ef-
forts to side-step the real issue by try
ing everybody or anybody, except the
foxy old chief. Special efforts are
made, of course, to put mayor Baxter
on the defensive instead Of the often
sive.
AT least one supposedly respect
able man has been forced to come out
into the open in his alignment with the
underworld bunch.
3.-The men and women in Bingo-
land, underworld bad actors and those
in sympathy with their low moral en-
deavor, have about decided that chief
Mcinnon is a losing horse, but they
are backing him to the limit, prefer
ring to win with a loser than to lose
with winner, as they say on the turf.
'sHail to the Chief
The Bingoland bunch began on the
very first day of the trial to chant
"Hail to the Chief" whenever the vet
eran head of the police department en-
tered his trial chamber. There was
some talk of hiring band to play
"Hail to the Chief" as so many of the
McKinnon clacquers had "whisky
throats,' which made cheering and
hailing rather difficult. But it was
found that union bands cost real money
and the Bingoland bunch lacked the
nerve to hire a scab band.
The Bingoland bunch is consistent in
It's admiration of chief McKinnon. 1t
is natural for redlight women, gam
blers, blindpiggers, panderers and yegg-
men to admire chief of police who is
lax in the performance Of official du-
ties; who makes no real effort to Sc
cure information as to existing lawless-
ness; who is inclined to discredit in
formation given unless substantiated by
q mountain of insurmountable proof;
whose pets in the department play the
part Of bad actors in their personal
habits, frequent dirty damps and con-
sort with lawless characters and who
"tip off" their underworld cronies be-
fore raids can be made.
