PAUL GLOBE, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 27, 1902 J. (I»iiNnNEAPoG^r TELL OF EXTORTION ALLEGED VICTIMS OF EX-CHIEF AMES DESCRIBE THEIR DEALINGS TWENTY-FIVE WOMEN ARE SUMMONED BY THE STATE Effect of Defense in Trial at Minne apolis to Confine Testimony to Transaction Mentioned in Indict ment Fails—Will Admit Visits Were Made and Orders Given to Pay Ncth ing to Gardner. When the Ames trial opened in Judge Brooks' court yesterday the space inside the rail was packed with women, called as witnesses for the state in its effort to prove the charges of extortion against the former chief of the Minneapolis police department. Spectators filled every inch of space alloted to the public, and interest in the proceedings was intense. Prom the opening of the trial At torney Victor Welch, who, with Attor ney Hubachek, is defending 1 Ames on the charge of taking $15 from Addie Mills, made constant objection. He hotly contested every inch of ground, taking refuge behind every possible technicality. His last important stand was taken upon the admission of tes timony of other women In regard to similar transactions. The objection was that the state was endeavoring to prove the commission of other crimes than that charged in the indictment. The objection was overruled and At torney Welch's exception noted. Thereafter there was constant objec tion to questions and answers, and ex ceptions were noted for a possible ap peal. The state, according to the opening statement of County Attorney Board man, will not only attempt to prove that Ames extorted money from Addie Mills but that .he visited twenty-five other persons while chief of police and ordered them to pay no more money to Irwin A. Gardner nor to anyone else until they heard from him. Paid by Number. The state expects to prove that "Reddy" Cohen, under instructions from the chief, later informed the wom en that they must pay tribute to him at his jewelry store on Washington ave nue; that the money was paid in num bered envelopes, no names appearing, and that three or four times this money was paid by the state's witness under those same circumstances. The defense, as developed by the trial yesterday, will admit all but the actual crime of soliciting and receiving the money. The visit to the resorts will be acknowledged; the orders to pay noth ing more to Gardner will be admitted, but the responsibility for Cohen's ac tion or the receiving of any money, either from him or directly as a price of protection or for other reasons will be denied. Tells Damaging Details. Addie Mills, named in the indictment, was the first important witness. Her story was a detailed account of the call made by Supt. Ames; of his order not to pay any more money to Gardner; of the coming of Cohen, who said he was under orders from the chief, and of the arrangements made for the payment of tribute. On cross-examination the Mills woman surprised the attorneys for the defense, who attempted to se cure an admission that she had paid the money under no promise of pro tection, by stating that Chief Ames personally had promised her such pro tection when she visited him in his of fice. Jessie" Harris, 251 Hennepin avenue, told practically' the same story, but HERE AT HOME. St. Paul Citizens Gladly Testify. It is testimony like the following that has placed "the little conqueror" so far above competitors. When peo ple right here at home raise their voice in praise there is no room left for doubt. Read the public state ment of a St. Paul citizen: Mr. Peter Zeller, of 577 Charles street, says: "It does not require a very long use of Doan's Kidney Pills to prove their great value. I suffered from pains in my back, and, learning of this remedy, procured it at F. M. Parker's drug store, corner of Waba sha and Fifth streets. In a short time its use freed me from all pains in my back. I know of others who have used Doan's Kidney Pills with wonderful benefit," For sale by all dealers. Price, 50 cents.

The city council, at Its meeting last evening, by a vote of 20 to 8, decided that Mayor Ames should not draw salary for the month of September. This was in face of the statement of City Attorney Healy, to the effect that A. A. Amea was de Jure mayor of the city, and could col lect the money in the courts. The three negative votes were cast by Aid. Foell, Mumm and Adams, one Democrat and two Republicans. Acting Mayor Jones voted in favor of "docking" his honor the $166.66 to which he is entitled under the law. Aid. Schoonmaker was the man who proposed to cut the mayor off the pay roll. Aid. S. E. Adams asked for information, and when Informed that the mayor had a legal claim against the city, moved to pay the mayor his salary. Aid. Holmes, President Jones' col league from the Fifth ward, gave notice that at the next meeting of the council he would move to reconsider the vote, so there is a possibility that the mayor may receive the money. BEN DRAKE IS CHOSEN. Seniors at University Hold Election—Stu dents After a Policeman's Scalp. The senior class of the university got together yesterday morning and after the usual amount of wrangling elected of ficers for the coming year. The custom ary "frat" and "barb" contest did not de velop this year, owing to the withdrawal from the contest of William Deering, the only fraternity nominee. After the first ballot for president had been taken it was found that a number of freshmen were in the room and had taken part in the balloting. After the objection of the daring underclassmen, the second ballot was proceeded with and it re sulted in the election of Benjamin Drake over R. P. Chase by a vote of 92 to 84. Considerable indignation is felt among both the faculty and studenfs of the uni versity over the action of a policeman in arresting several of the students for rid ing their bicycles on the campus side walks. The students feel that the policeman is overstepping his duties in making the ar rests. Several of the faculty have been caught by the officer while.riding on the walk, but have been released after being warned. In every case students have been taken to the lockup, and there is now some talk of organizing a vigilance committee among the Students to "make )t unpleasant" for the objectionable po liceman.

NEW YOJtK, Sept. 26. — The Irish potato famine of last year threatens to be almost repeated this winter, and the product will have to be imported again from Europe to satisfy the demand. Last year the trouble was due to pro longed drought, finally excessive rains and blight in the potato. This year it will be charged to drought and blight in the vines. The Maryland and Pennsylvania crops are both about over, and the market is at present drawing on Dela ware and New Jersey, but principally on Western New York. In the latter section the blight has already set in and its ravages have been great. It has also begun to manifest itself In the New England states, also a great po tato growing country. Nowhere near is there anything like a good crop, and it is said that where the output seems to be fair the blight is worse. In consequence of the short supply prices may be expected to shoot up like a rocket before long. Yesterday they brought from 75 to 80 cents a bushel. In some parts of the West— Michigan and Wisconsin, for instance —the crop is fair and the quality also, but the territory in which these grow ers will have to operate is so extensive that the Eastern and Southern mar kets will derive little benefit there from. In those sections the blight has thus far not appeared. The Eastern and more Southern crops are expected to become exhausted by the latter part of October, and then it will be up to Baltimore to draw on Europe again. Last year several hundred thousand sacks were imported from Germany, Ireland and Scotland for the Baltimore market alone. Probably not so many will be needed this year. The quality of the foreign product is considered superior to home-grown potatoes. Apples will be plentiful this year. There is a condition in connection with this industry this year that occurs not more, it is said, than once in a century. Nova Scotia is importing from 15,000 to 30,000 barrels of apples from Bos ton, while, as a rule, Boston has to draw on that country to a much great er extent. Numerous factors are said to have brought about this condition. At present prices range from $1.75 to $2.25 a barrel, which are considered fair. OLD WOMAN LIVED ON BERRIES AND HERBS Woman 82 Years of Age Wanders for Weeks While Lost in the Woods. ALTOONA, Pa., Sept. 26.—The rela tives of Mrs. Mary Button, who disap peared Aug. 10 from her son's resi dence, at Haneyville, were overjoyed to find her last Friday.

She was placed In a blanket and carried to Cross Forks, where physicians are try ing to save her life. Mrs. Button is eighty-two years old. She had frequently walked from Ha neyville to her other son's home, and when she started this last time noth ing was thought of it by her relatives.

Since the eruption of May 8 in Martin ique volcanoes in many parts of the world have been showing marked activity, and earthquakes Jrave been numerous. The list given herewith suffices to show the widespread nature of the vibrations and disturbances. From Alaska to South America, From Europe to New Zealand, where the great Waimangu geyser has burst into activity and thrown 800 feet high its column of blackish water, and far away to the ever boiling pit of the Mauna Loa, in the center of the Pacific, this awesome and often death dealing act ivity has passed as by some subterranean sympathy. The insistence of the reports, according to the Sphere, of London, brings the ques tion of a possible connection into vivid prominence, and emphasizes the fact that it is necessary for us to know more of the interior of the globe if we would guard ourselves as a race from these seismic and eruptive menaces.

From! astronomical calculations it is evident that, the earth acts as a solid body, or at least as a rigid body. The temperature at the center must, from the superimposed pres sure, be sufficient to not only melt, but vaporize, under ordinary conditions, any known substance, but matter at the center of the earth is not under surface condi tions, and it also appears that the melting point of rock is raised under great pres sure, so that for all the great heat the rock need not for this reason be in a fluid condition, and the fact that molten rock wells up from volcanoes may be explained by the fact that the pressure is released owing to buckling strains. Seismograph records of distant earth quakes also show that vibrations are con veyed very rapidly through the earth's' interior, denoting a rigidity not in keep-i ing with the old-fashioned idea of a 1 flaming interior.
