A the regular meeting of the latter committee yesterday the matter of lake levels was held to be of such interst to the business interests of Minneapolis as to warrant special investigation the subcommittee. I is believed that some agreement between the park board and the city council would be the best plan. MILLERS COMPLAIN Expensive Wheat May Cause a Tem porary Shutting Down. Unless flour business improves, some of the Minneapolis mills may close tem porarily. Millers were complaining this morning that Minneapolis wheat prices are high, and out of line with other markets, and that it is impossible to sell flour for export. A this is the sea son when flour trade is usually heavy, It is unlikely the mills will remain down long, should they close. SOO EARNINGS AWAY UP Last Week's Total Made New Record i Road's History.

FOUND NO COLONISTS REPUBLICAN SCARE ABOUT "PACKED" POLL LISTS WAS GROUNDLESS. I is estimated that between 4,000 and 4,500 voters registered at the polls yesterday, the greater part of them far being republics ns. A stated in Tuesday's Journal, the registration the first half of the day was very light. I the afternoon and evening! however, business was better with the officials at the various polling places. The downtown polling places were closely watched last evening re publicans for the alleged attempt that was to made to "pack" the poll lists, but no illegalities were attempted. The registration proved a quiet affair. The legal requirement is that the registration officers return the poll lists to the city clerk before 10 a.m. the day following the registration. This rule was little observed today, scarcely a hundred returns being in by 1 Evening-, [THE noon, and a number of these were left untabulated by the registration officers. The registration seems to have been heaviest in the downtown precincts. Generally speaking, from twenty-five to forty-five voters on the average, were registered at each voting place, and with few exceptions, no more women were registered. Unless the unregis tered vote turns out in good numbers next Saturday for registration, the vote in Minneapolis the coming election will be little if any larger than it was two years ago. ORGANS GIVEN AWAY Many St. Paul Dunn Papers Sent Here to Nonsubscribers. Final efforts to advance the interests' of E Dunn, republican candidate for governor, are becoming picturesque. For several days a copy of the Pioneer Press has been delivered reg ularly to many residences of Minne apolis business men who never sub scribed. Finally one gentleman made a careful investigation and learned enough to satisfy him that corporate in terests at St. Paul were paying for the circulation up to Nov. 9 of hundreds of copies of the Pioneer Press in Minne apolis to advance the interests of E C. Dunn. The Press is avowedly the Dunn organ, and with columns of campaign matter published daily about Dunn, is doing its best to turn the tide of pub lic sentiment a little toward the for mer state auditor.

There are four. circulars in the series, the first explaining that: "The inclosed circulars are for the purposer-as will be seenof informing a ll the people that old Satan has been cast out of heaven to earth and has established headquarters in the city of Los Angeles, Cal. I (J. Marks) say that he must take his place in hell, where he belongs, or else he must get me there.

Recovery of Property May Not Lead to Detection of Burglars, Who, Chi- cago Police Think, Are Probably Still in Minneapolis and Are Lying Low. Ladies of the Golden Rod Cinch club are now holding their respective breaths. The case of Mrs. Hannah Larson accused Mrs. Ella Gerber of steal ing $20has gone to a municipal court jury, which retired shortly before noon. Before a large audience, which in cluded representatives of St. Paul so ciety, the case was reopened this morn ing Judge Holt. Mrs. Larson was on the stand in her own behalf. 1 wont to the club meeting Oct. 13," said Mrs. Larson, "and toek part in all the games. When I went in I left wraps on "the second floor and after taking 1 0 cents for dues, I left my purse with clothing. After the games, I went to the second floor for a moment and when I came back down stairs they were hunting for Mrs. Ger ber's purse. W were all searched and I was the second one to be searched. When they searched purse they, found $21.75 in it. Mrs. Gerber looked at the money and said: 'That is not money. I had two $10 bills.' money was one ten and two fives. After Mr. Gerber came he said his wife had one ten and two fives, and described money. "The money I had was given to at noon the day of the club meeting. husband gave $20 and told that he would order two tons of coal that afternoon. I told him to wait till the n.ext morning as I was going to the club. The money in. purse was own, and not a penny of it belonged to Mrs. Gerber." O crossexamination Mr. Finney ques tioned Mrs. Larson as to the exact lo cation of the room in Mr. Brown's resi dence to which she had gone. She seemed confused and was unable to de scribe the room satisfactorily. O other points she flatly contradicted the testimony of other club members. Yesterday afternoon A Gerber, husband of the complaining witness, testified that he earns $15 a week and Astrakhan, Mink, Persian, positively identified the money found in'Seal, Squirrel, Sable. The Plymouth Altho C. 8 Pillsbury has not yet per sonally identified the jewels found the Chicago police in a raid on a bur glar's "plant," the police of Minne apolis are positive that they are the ones stolen the twilight workers that entered his residence a month ago. Two detectives were, sent to Chicago last night with a minute description of each article and when the identification is established Mr. Pillsbury will called to Chicago to make it legal. The men in whose possession the stolen property was found are out on bail, and it is not likely that the Minne apolis officers will get a chance to iden tify them. The identification was made in the first place the six plumes stripped from hats the burglars. These plumes were among the wares offered for sale by the suspects. A peculiar hand carved charm, representing a mummy in.an -Egyptian casket, was also among the articles found. Such a charm, thought to be the only one in the world, was taken, from' the Pillsbury residence. These two things alone are sufficient to satisfy the police that the property belongs in. Minneapolis. But to get the burglars is another thing. Even if the men who had the jewels are found, they may not be the burglars. The Chicago police think the burglars are still in Minneapolis and have an underground system of getting the goods to Chicago for sale. I most cases the crook and the agent are in different cities.and it is possible that when the excitement dies down more "touches" will made. The police here have done everything in their power to run down the gang and Jack Garrity, a crook of interna tional reputation, is now doing time in the workhouse. I he was the leader, the gang has probably gone to iome other city. Fur Mfg. Floors, 3 and 6th. OLD LAW HITS L|KE QUESTION PROPERTY OWNERS' CONSENT NEEDED O CHANGE LEVEL. A Act of 1897 Which S Provides Was Passed to Assist an Up-Country Village, but I Seems to Apply to the Present Minneapolis Controversy. When the city council undertook to supersede the park board in controlling the water levels in Lake Calhoun, it appears to have overlooked an im portant provision in the act authorizing incorporated cities to make whatever arrangements are necessary to raise and preserve lacustrine stages of water. This act is Chapter 187 of the General Laws of 1S97. Section 2 of this law reads as fol lows: None of the waters of any said lakes shall be raised or the waters of any stream be diverted from its natural course under the authority conferred hereby, until said incorporated city or village shal lobtain the consent in writing- of a lthe property owners whose property wi ll be damaged or injured by the said raising or diverting, arid shal have filed such consent together with a release of such or any damages oc casioned by the same in the office of the recorder of said incorporated city or vil lage or until said incorporated city or village shall have acquired by condem nation proceedings as hereinafter pro vided, the right to flow or otherwise in ju re any lana of any of the owners which may be injured thereby and whose volun tary consent cannot be obtained or pro cured. I is well known thai the city council did not obtain the consent of the owners of land about Lake Harriet nor around Lake Calhoun when it established the level of these lakes, and no attempt is being made to secure the consent of the owners of real estate at Lake of the Isles, nor to offer them any compensa tion. A attorney says that the action of the council i s' invalid and that the park commissioners need give no considera tion to the action of the city council or any of its servants. When the law was passed, the author had no intention of depriving park boards of any authority, nor had any member of the legislature any idea that the law was to be construed as it has been the aldermen. A a matter of fact it was passed for the sole benefit of a little town in the northern part of the state which became involved in a dispute with a corporation over the stage of water in a lake. I was in tended to apply to a special case and no one thought for a moment to abridge the authority of any constituted park board nor did anyone think that the law would be called into use again after it had served its specific purpose. S say those who are in position to know. ADVANCE FERE RATES Underwirters Consider St. Paul and Du- luth Fire Protection Insufficient. Advances in fire insurance rates slated for St. Paul the Western Fire Underwirters association have just gone into effect. While the Minneapolis ad vance was only 1 Oper cent, that set for St. Paul is 1 5 per cent. O this amount five is charged for in adequate fire department, five for un protected vertical openings and five for unprotected side and rear wall or win dow openings. A these defects are corrected the rates will reduced. When the fire board makes certain changes and additions to the force the first 5 per cent will be removed. Du luth is groaning under a 2 0 per cent advance which it urges is unwarranted. I Minneapolis the fire force was con sidered sufficient and the extra 5 per cent was omitted. RUNS AWAY AGAIN Young Robert Amos Wright Makes His Second Disappearance. The police have been notified that Robert Amos Wright, 1 2 years old, has run away from 3117 Third street N wore" a grey- checked suit, Norfolk jacket, knickerbockers and cap.

This fact devel oped yesterday afternoon during Judge Kerr's examination of the state's star witness, Irwin A Gardner, and was the sensation of the day. This entirely new line of evidence was admitted, when Judge Simpson overruled Mr. Gary's objections to the witness' testifying concerning the co l lection of other grafts. The ruling will enable the state to show collections of graft for protection from keepers of winerooms, gamblers, fake auction shops, flat joints and fake shows. I practically means that the jury will made cognizant of the whole system of graft introduced and carried alftpg the Ames administration. .The Bench Concurs. This departure was only made after due consideration and consultation. I was decided some of the judges and the prosecutor that a false idea as to the admissibility of certain evidence had grown up arid that in showing the. general scheme of the defendant's al leged illegal operations while mayor of Minneapolis, it was immaterial whether the graft was collected from women of the town or from gamblers or any other lawbreakers, so long as this collection was connected with the defendant, and was a part of his general levy of tribute. Acting upon this theory, Judge Kerr made offers to show Gardner that he collected protection money from Ravitch and at least four other fake auction shops, and the offer was ad mitted despite strenuous objection on the part of defendant's counsel. The witness testified that Eavitch came to him and asked if there was not some way in which he could secure protection for his place. Gardner told him there was, and that paying $25 a week he would be unmolested. "Did he pay you the money?" asked Judge Kerr. "He did." "And was he protected?" "He was." "Will you please explain what you mean fake auction shops? What went there?" Auction Methods Disclosed. After considerable haggling by the attorneys as to the admissibility of this testimony, the witness was allowed to explain. said the ordinary pro cedure was to have a few cappers'' to boost'' the game and to keep rais ing the bid on some valueless article until the "live man" would go no fur ther, and he was allowed to carry off the article at a absurd price. "If he made a holler," explained Gardner, "and could not be kept away from the police station, he was then referred to a detective detailed the mayor for that purpose. This officer would run the complainant out if pos sible. This was usually done unless the objector was too insistent, when he would be given his money back." "Who ordered you to collect from these places?" "Mayor Ames." The witness then tolS .o collections from gamblinghouses which were under the supervision of Colonel Tanner, to whomGardne was ordered the mayor' to report. Thomas Watson, th,e man who kept a saloon at 247 Washington avenue S during the Ames administration, was mentioned, and Gardner testified to co l lecting protection mone.y from him. I is rumored that Watson pai money di rectly to the then mayor, but no hint of this was given yesterday. Wide-Open Trial.. Following the new theory of trying the case disclosed in yesterday's exam ination of Gardner, Judge Kerr this morning made few objections to the questions asked of his witnesses. I is a wide-open, trial now in. every particu lar and everything will be shown to the jury. Questions relative to alleged conver sations between Brown and Cowles and between Brown and some other persons claimed to. have been overheard in Schiek's restaurant were asked and negative answers given Brown this morning, thus laying a foundation for the introduction of proof of these al leged conversations the defendant's witnesses. Judge Kerr has some more new evi dence which will show the scope of the graft system. wants to get this in and in order to make it clear sailing he is letting the defense lay foundations for whatever it wants to prove. Brown One Cary. Thomas Brown appeared this morn ing in the role of artist. A the solici tation of Judge Kerr the witness made a sketch of Dr. Ames' office to show the exact location of tables, desks, par titions, chairs, and people. The witness told the same old story of seeing Gardner pay the $600 graft money to Dr. Amesand his other oft related connections with the notorious administration. Under a parid-fire cross-examination Brown refused to change his assertions and landed one body Dlow. Mr. Cary was asking ques tions, rapidly, and was about to close with he query: "Did you receive orders from the mayor to give that piece of paper to the Haden woman as a means of identifying Gardner."* "No, not directly," was the answer. Counsel paused, and then, appreciating the full meaning of the statement, said: "What do you mean that word 'directly'?" The witness recalled his testimony in regard to the doctor's return from West Baden, referring to the fact that Hill and King had told him about Gard ner's going to Sadie Bird for money and added: "The mayor's orders to me at that time were to tell Hill and King to mind their dd business. A I was in Dr. Ames' employ, these in structions were enough to inform as to what I was exported to do in such cases." Women Repeat Their Stories. The first witness this morning was Patrolman John Knight,... who testified" to his share in rounding up the street walkers" under Gardner's instructions, acting for the mayor. Joseph Eees, proprietor of an Ames auction store, told of paying money for protection. Bessie Lee, Grace Ver non, Frankie Buell and the rest of the regular women were sworn and told their stories as they have at three other trials. The trial is progressing with un wonted rapidity. Long hours are the rule, and unless some unforeseen ob stacle is encountered, it will be finished in record-breaking time. BORN A SLAVEDEA A 100. New Tork Sun Special Service.

I order to secure judicial interpre tation of the contract between the cit.y and the Minneapolis Mill company rela tive to the lease of four millpowers at the West Side pumping station, the city has refused to pay tne quarterly in stallment of $1,000. The action was decided on the council committee on waterworks yesterday afternoon, and it is'assumed that the council will stand by the committee. I that event it will for the mill company to show that the contract is valid. There has always been discon tent on the part of the city authorities over the arrangement with the mill company. When the West Side station was in daily operation the annual charge of $4,000 per year was cheerfully paid, but when the North Side station was completed and the lower pumps were used very little, the amount was considered excessive, particularly as it was assumed that the mill company had the use of the four mill power's which were leased as well as the two powers which the city owns outright. Every request for reduction has been refused. I is argued that the lease is invalid on the ground that the city council has no authority to enter into a perpetual contract of that kind.

TRY MODEfiN FORESTRY WALKER AND SONS O ADOPT NEW PLAN I N CUTTING TIMBER FOR WESTERN MILLS. Thomas Walker of Minneapolis, the millionaire lumberman, who, -with his sons, owns some 375,000 acres of timber lands in Shasta, Siskiyou and Modoc counties, California, will adopt modern forestry methods in the cut- ting of the timber for the mills, and will this means have a timber sup- ply for sixty years. A the outset, no trees under thirty inches in diameter are to be cut. That will take about one-third of the for ests, and leave still a heavy wooded district with an opportunity for the smaller trees more speedily to attain their growth. After the ground is once covered, it will be gone over year af ter year under the same system, thus supplying timber for over half a cen tury to come. A new sawmill is to be established Mr. Walker, and a logging railroad will connect it with the Southern Pa cific line at Bedding.
