Heilpern's Trial Begun— Some Sensational Developments Hinted At. Judge Young Receives a Hand some Testimonial From the Bar. How Some People Seem to Make Money by Los ing It. The eight-hour question ln city work is practically settled in Minneapolis for the next two years. The special com mittee, consisting of an alderman from eacli ward, met last night to consider Alderman Rand's resolution. The Re publican aldermen had previously cau cused and resolved to defeat the resolution, and voted according to programme. Aid. Grimes was the only member of the committee absent, those present being; Aldermen McGowan, Burrows, Durnam, Love, Brazie, Band, Peterson, Blichfeldt, Rollins, Bradish, Reeves and Gray. Aid. Gray presided. Aid. Bratish moved to take tip the mat ter of ward work first, but finally changed his mind and offered the fol lowing. Kesolved. That we recommend to the council that the rate of waves paid to the men engaged upon city work be the same as paid by private parties and firms for similar work, and that ten hours shall constitute a day's work, except upon such work as bncK laying. The number of hours recognized by the trade as a day's labor shall be so consid ered by this council, ana thai the hours of a day's labor and the pay therefor on all ward worn be fixed by the aldermen of the ward. Aid. McGowan amended the motion that tbe men employed by the city shall receive 20 cents per hour 'during the six months of sum mer. He thought that they should receive this much because of the fact that many who make their living by outdoor work are forced to remain idle during the winter. Aid. Hand moved as a substitute that eight hours shall constitute a day's work for city employes. These three motions represent the phases of the question in which it was dismissed. The stock arguments pro and con were used, and neither side handled the sub ject ln a very capable or brilliant manner. Three lonely labor agitators and the reporters constituted the audience. Aid. Rand , tooK up the cudirel in behalf of eight hours, and conse quently became the target for the Republi cans, who sat facing him with the appear ance of men who had already decided what they were going to do.and only tolerated him for the sake of the appearance of allowing the matter 1 1 be discussed. As a consequence Aid. Hand did not even get . eiuuusea, while Aid. McGowan, who was his main supporter, seemed even subdued by the feeling tbat lt was a waste of time to talk when everything had been cut and dried beforehand. Aid. Burrows made his usual stand us the avowed friend of the workirg man, whom he is determined to protect by giving low wages and long hours, so that no one will try to get his job away from him. Aid. Love would like an eight-hour system if 16 was for the best interests of the working men. The time is near when this will become tin) rule. If it was left to a popular vote now he did not thin that it would be sanctioned. St. Paul has recently come bacn from ten to eight hours, and such a move as is con templated by Aid. Rand is at present inex pedient. He was In favor of ten hours at $1.75 a day. . Aid. Rand replied that it did not matter much which way the question was looked at. By curtailing two hours the number of men given employment will be increased. From the laborer's standpoint, more of them will be hired, and the opportunity of getting work will be greater, while from the business man's standpoint, there will be more people receiving money with which they can patron ize the merchants. Aid. Harrows wanted to know if it was fair : to those workingmen not employed by the city, that the city should pay its employes more than current wages. Aid. McGowan believed that the eight hour theory is correct. There' has been a. gradual reduction of the hours of labor, and eight hour's work Is the natural division of time. Years ago meu used to work sixteen hours a day, but just as much work Is now being done. The only effect is that the work ingmen get a little more lime to themselves, and ii little more pay. The law of supply and demand is the regulator. Men did not gel more for sixteen hour's work than they do now for ten hours. He did not think the question of wages was at issue. The wages will be regulated by the demand for labor. He hoped to see the city set the ex ample, which will soon be followed by indi viduals and corporations. Aid. Bradish claimed that he did not know of a single workingman in the Ninth ward who wants the eight-hour system. It will be time enough to establish this when the workingmen ask for it. He thought the city could not afford, this year. especially, in view of the financial condition, to increase the expense of hiring day lanor one-fifth. He regarded Aid. Rand's motion as simply a scheme to get the council to appropriate ohe-fith of the peeple's money to make political capital for the Democrats. The discussion progressed in this desultory way until a vote was taken on Rand's substi tute. The vote stood: Ayes— Rand, Peterson, McGowan, Blich feldt and Rollins. ays— Barrows, Brazie, Bradish. Reeves, Durnam, Gray and Love. The eight-hour matter being out of the way McGowan's twenly-cents-an hour amend ment was similarly disposed of. Then Al derman Love offered another amendment to Alderman Bradish's motion that $1.75 be paid for ten hour's work. Alderman Brazel offered a substitute that heads of depart ments grade the price of wages, and that not less than $1.75 be paid for a day's labor. This was a quicker and neater wav of getting at the desired end than Alderman's Bradish's cumbersome motion, and it was adopted, despite the fact that it would lead to discrim ination and corruption. HEILPERN ON TRIAL.. His Attorneys Spring Some Intelli gent Motions. At the opening of the criminal court yesterday morning there was. quite a crowd in attendance, to listen to the trial of Leo Ileilpern, the dapper litttle bookkeeper of the Columbia mill, who had been indicted for the embezzlement of $1,030 from the con cern.' He was brought into court and seated directly behind his attorneys, Messrs. Hart and Longbrake, Couuty Attorney Thian aud •his assistant, Ben Davenport, holding down the 6tfaer,side of the piece of furniture. The 'Whole morning was consumed in selecting a jury, and it was 2 o'clock before the jury was all lv its place ready to hear the opening of the case. Mr. Thian opened his case in a masterly manner, giving briefly a history of the crime charged against the prisoner, with which the public is already familiar. When he came to mention dates Mr. Hart arose and stated that he had some objections to offer under the law to that part of the statement. Mr. Thian stated that he had a right to men tion to the jury anything contained in his bill of particulars and wished to read it to t he jury. Mr. Hart stated thai when the prosecuting attorney was through he should move that he be required to elect upon which item he would try his ca*eif he went back to Aug. 1, 1890. He held that the action could only be held upon oue item. Judge Lochren "held with him, and Mr. Longbrake called atten tion to the fact that the items named in the bill of particulars, with the exception of two, dated prior to the time mentioned. He held that they must either elect one of the prior items or one of the subsequent ones. "If this is correct, what protection has an employer'/" asked Mr. Thian. ••That is a conundrum that I do not feel called upon to answer," said the court. The judge finally allowed Mr. Thian to select the two items subsequent to the date mentioned on which to try his case, and the hearing went on. Some little delay had been occa sioned in a wait for the books aud it was now rather late In the day. - YYx • ' Ernest Zledler was put upon the stand lo testify and the case proceeded. He was asked" In regard to the manner in which Hell pein had charge of the cash, which he placed iv the drawer of the safe, to which he alone carried the key. He was then showed the petty cash book and asked to identify entries in the book. During this testimony, which was rather tedious, Mr. Hart objected to the questions as leading. "I admit that they are," said Mr. Thian, "but I am only bringing the witness down." "That's lust what 1 want to do to you," in terrupted Hart grimly, "Dring you down." W. H. Donaldson, "the expert accountant, was placed upon the stand, and then arose a dispute over the introduction of a portion of the written testimony contained in the books, which was argued at length. Finally it was decided that the case should be adjourned I until the city attorney and his assistant could THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 12, 1891. I ■ consult on what portion of the books they might introduce in evidence. After the court had adjourned the legal lights sot together and made arrangements for the perusal of the books. Dapper, dark visaged little Ileilpern assisted them, and such instructions as he could give his attor neys, he gave. "What time shall we get together and look these things over,' ! asked Mr. Thian. "I have hardly time to-night," said Hart. "To-morrow morning will do." '•You will always rind me at home." said Ileilpern, with a laugb, as he followed the deputy out of the court to his quarters in the Jail. The trial will be continued to-day. Some sensational testimony is expected. Minnie Frost, the woman with whom Heil pern associated, is in the city, and it is whis pered that the defense will endeavor to show that she did not receive her tine clothes and expensive furniture from Ileilpern. but from gentlemen who are quite prominent. TRIBUTE TO YOUNG. A Testimonial From the Bar to the Judge. Judge A. Young last evening received both an eloquent and a substantial testimo nial of the affection and esteem in which he is held by the members of the bar. His re tirement from the bench, after . seventeen years of service, made such a testi monial particularly fitting, and the opportunity was cordially embraced. About sixty members of the bar. including many of the most prominent attorneys, met by appointment at his pleasant home at 1010 Clinton avenue last evening at 8 o'clock, aud fairly overwhelmed the judge with flattering tributes and assurances of personal friend ship, while they presented him with such tokens of their good faith that he could hard ly enter a demurrer. Judge Ell Torrence acted as spokesman, and after a pleasant and eloquent review of the work of Judge Young upon the bench, presented him on be half of the bar with a beautiful chest con taining fifty-four pieces of silverware, a tea set of five pieces and the library of American .Literature in eleven volumes, bound in mo rocco. There were addresses by Judges At water, Horker, Hicks. Lochren, J. W. Law rence, R. I). Russell and others. Judge Young, although evidently much surprised, responded with much feeling and eloquence. SYMPATHY WASTED. How Some Young Men --Make" Money by Losing It. An emotional evening paper seems to have wasted considerable effort in creating sym pathy for a young man, the sou of a police officer, who it is alleged lost $800 gambling which he had received from the sale of real estate. Quite a pitiful tale of woe has been made up by picturing the youth of the unfort unate gambler who went "agin tbe clock," and his despair at losing the money with which ho wanted to marry and start house keeping. His father, the policeman, called on the proprietor of the "clock" and obtained the restoration of $450 of the money, but has since been called upon by Mayor Winston to explain why he com pounded a felony by receiving the money, and why he did not report the existence of tue gambling house. Whether the young mau in question really lost $800, or even $+*"*■'>. is not known, but in gambling circles, at least, it is much doubted. The young man, by the way. is not so very young, and has been a frequenter of gam bling houses for several years, being one of those hangers-ou whose patronage was not very earnestly solicited. It is said that this is not the first lime he has demanded money back, wbich he claimed he had lost. It isn't very long since the proprietor of another "clock" house had to return $125 which the "young" man lost in trying to win some oue else's money. A well known proprietor of a gambling house recalled yesterday a time when this same object of evening newspaper sympathy claimed he had lost $+00 and wanted it back. His father, the policeman, appeared as usual, and said there would be trouble if the $+00 was not made good. An Investigation was made and it was found that the '-young"' man had lost only $16. The father was told that the matter would be submitted to the chief of police, and ceased his importuning. It is likely that some investigation will be made into this latest escapade of the "young" man, and the part that his accomodating parent has been playing. ROADS AND BRIDGES. Mary Place Will Be Opened— Street Matters Considered. The preponderance of population in the First ward yesterday visited the city hall for the purpose of protesting before the commit tee on roads and bridges against the, opening of Grand street, in Northeast Minneapolis. The property owners objected to paying for the opening because it was unnecessary. They seemed to think' that McGowan had gone too far in offering the resolution, since they had never petitioned for it. The matter was recommitted. -yn Mary place will be opened. That was de cided yesterday by the council. This mailer has beeu hanging fire before the council ever since last summer. The part to be opened extends from Eleventh to Twelfth street and will pass through the property of Hugh Har rison and A. B. Jackson, who may make some fight against it. The original plat of that part of the city is said to have provision for the opening of .Mary place, but for some reason it never went through. The petitiou for opening was not acted upon when first presented to the council because Emerson Cole, then au alderman, feared that it might have some bearing on his candidacy. The old matter of opening Lincoln avenue from Emerson to Humboldt was considered by the committee and proceedings were or dered abandoned. The committee will rec ommend that Perm avenue be widened from sixty-six to eighty feet between Thirty-fourth and Forty-fourth avenues north. Twenty second and Twenty fifth streets were ordered opened from Eighteenth avenue south to Cedar avenue. The opening of Sixth-and-a- Half avenue south, or Columbus avenue now, was left over at the request of property own ers. - GRAY AND SCHWARTZ. They Are Now Anxious to Solve the Garbage Question. Aid. Gray and Schwartz have evolved a new scheme for the disposition of garbage. It is that it be hauled to the dumping grounds 1 on the street railway tracks. The more of- ; fensive material can be deposited in water tight barrels, such as are now used in Phila delphia, wilhout serving the natural notice of its presence. It is claimed by its advocates that the new plan will be infinitely superior to the use of scavenger carts, aud that the street railway company will not object to such use of its trackage. The city engineer says this plan is not feasible. It would prac tically convert the street railway into a traffic road, which is prohibited by existing ordi nances. The transportation of all sorts of refuse and stable manure would soon make the street over which they pass filthy and a menace to public health. Furthermore, peo-: J»le living along the street car lines would ob- ect to an agreement of that kind. NORRIS "LIGHTS OUT. Adamson-s Old Side Partner Flees From a Warrant. F. P. Norris, well known to the public as the man on whose testimony W. 11. Adam son was sent to Stillwater, has disappeared. It is believed that he has gone to Spokane Falls. The cause for his sudden disappearance was the indictment found against him by the grand jury at its last session. Norris was seen in town the day that the grand jury con sidered his case, but has not been seen since, and those who have reason to know say that he has left town to return no more. He had already been found guilty of forgery in a; civil action before Judge Lochren, and he knew that his chances for doing time were good if he stayed and stood trial in a criminal prosecution. His debts, all of which he left behind, are unnumbered. For a year past Norris has been working at his trade and do ing a small contracting business. HENDERSON'S FIRST. His Report on the Police Depart ment During January. Bupt. Henderson yesterday made his first monthly report to the mayor, as follows : There were arrested in January 36+ persons, 130 of whom were charged with drunkenness.

Of the 2+ persons arrested 4 were held to the grand jury, 2 turned over to other cities, 3 ordered out of the city, 7 sent to .the workhouse, while seven paid tines. During the month stolen property valued at $2,380 and horses valued at $5,800 were, found and turned over to the owners. In the municipal court there were' 172 cases, 94 of them criminal and 78 civil. - Another Collom Note. J. Frank Collom figures as the defendant in another suit just entered in the district court.
