But'such'appears to be the "fact, and no sooner did the woman receive her sent ence than "Superintendent of Police Waite informed Peterson th at he wished to In terview him' upon the subject of receiving stolen property. The-result of the inter view was that Peterson was locked up and his case laid before the county at torney. The Williams woman was arrested yes terday by Patrolman W. A. Martin a nd Sergeant Thomas Russell charged with stealing a watch from a man she had met in a Washington avenue saloon. She told the officers that-she had given the watch to John Peterson, a barber. Peterson ac knowledged in court that he had received two watcheY the '-girl"- had stolen. The woman testified 'that^ Peterson had received all the property s$e had stolen and that on one occasion he had told her he Wanted" her to -snatch a pocketbook containing ?150 from a man who would prohably get^ drunk .. She said:. "He is more to blame than I am. lie told.me,that I could snatch these things better .than' he-could, and if T got caught he would get me'out of the Scrape.

Westlake of the Commercial Club Makes Pointed Talk to St. Paul Commercial Club. i Secretary 15. J. Westlake of the Min j neapolis Commercial Club made a strong : plea for more friendly relations between J Minneapolis and St. Paul at the annual | meeting of the St. Paul Commercial Club last evening. Both cities, he declared, were vitally interested, in the promotion of reciprocity with Canada in order to give them a broader commercial field. The day had gone when either town could even afford to be jealous of the other. All of their efforts, he said, should be bent toward the development of their mu tual interests. Incidentally Mr. Westlake took a few' "census war" veterans to task for having opposed the extension of the Minnehaha car line to Fort Snelfing. reminding them that' such an extension would mean the speedy construction of a connecting link with the^ West .Seventh street- line in SL Paul, 'thus giving the cities' a much ^needed $hird ihterurbah line.
