APPROVE VACATION Aldermen Favorable in Martin Matter, but Issue Is Involved The members of the aldermanic com mittee on streets were yesterday will ing to make a favorable report on the vacation order for the John Martin Lumber company, but the tang'e in which the issue has become involved could not be straightened. Action was postponed until the meeting of the al- dermen Tuesday, when the corporation attorney is expected to point out the method that should be pursued to un ravel the tangle. The lumber company secured the passage of a vacation order on the stub ends of Gauitier. Blair and Van Buren streets running through its property. Mayor Smith vetoed the or der upon the ground that the company was not paying enough for the prop erty when it gave $20 and a lot worth $500. The company then came in with a proposition to pay $1,000 for the streets, equal to three lots 60 by 150 feet, but in the meantime the veto of the mayor has not been acted upon.and the aldermen are endeavoring to find a way by which the vacation can be made without commencing the proceedings anew. The vote to send the order back to the aldermen was 3 to 2. with Messrs. Rohland and Hebl recorded in the neg ative. Mr. Rohiand explained that he considered such vacations too common. and was not sure i>ux that other prop erty would be damaged in this instance. Mr. Hebl said that he had been over the ground and could not approve of the proposed vacation. The property through which the streets that it is proposed to vacate iies aimost directly east of the Como avenue public playgrounds. MORE DUNN FROST Senator Clapp Fails to Arouse Blue Earth Voters A report which reached St. Paul yes terday of Senator Clapp's meeting at Biue Earth indicates that the junior senator is meeting with the usual lack of warmth when he attempts; to argue for R.

"Mr. Clapp at once entered upon the defense of Mr. Dunn's record and char acter. His remarks concerning Mr. Dunn were made in so haif-hearted, \\ish-I-didn't-have-to-do-it kind of sort of way that they fell absolutely flat and received but the faintest rec ognition of the audience. "He then, without alluding to an other man upon the state ticket, launched into national politics and Re publican policies, and he very soon had his audience with him and gave one of his characteristic and natural ad dresses and was rapturously applaud ed. •He did not make a vote for Mr. Dunn, and in fact left the impression on his hearers' minds that he didn't io.''

OCTOBER- 14. 1904 ■^.■ K .^- :^;r-_^T---[™--;f -,^~;£---^^^ WITNESSES TELL OF GAtOF GRAFT Interesting Testimony Given In the Case of Former Mayor Ames There is every prospect of interesting developments before the end of the trial of Dr. A. Ar Ames, the former mayor of Minneapolis, who is indicted on the charge of accepting bribes from women of the town in return for protection, and it is said that Jadge W. A. Kerr. at torney for the state, will have pome sur prises to spring on the-defense and the evidence will be stronger that it was when the former mayor was tried the last time. Yesterday several women were called to the stand aiid they admitted the payment of money to Irwin A. Gardner, who had been detailed to superintend the collec tion of the graft. Detective George Sinclair, a member of the police force, testified to the effect that he and other officers had been de tailed to report at Dr. Ames* medical office in citizens' clothes and there they received orders from Gardner to se cure evidence against street walker? and* roomers and report to Gardner, who gave them expense money. The policemen worked for six niehts. Policeman Frank G. Ferrr and Policeman John Knight cor roborated the testimony of CaDt. Sin clair and said they received orders from Gardner, and former Detective Norbeck. who has just completed a term in the penitentiary for the part he played in the game of graft, also appeared. Attorney Oary for Dr. Ames took occa sion in the cross-examination of all the?e witnesses to show that the meetings in Dr. Ames' offices were heid after office hours and he seemed to be determined to make it appear that Gardner and Fred Ames, the chief of police, and not the mayor, were responsible for the grafting campaign. Emma. Murphy testified to paying $15 to Gardner in the presence of former Detective Malone and she admitted that at a former trial she said Gardner had told her if she doubted his authority to collect she could call at police head quarters and learn his status with, the administration. C. C. Norbeck. the former detective, told of being directed by Gardner to secure certain evidence and he declined to act upon them and received ocders direct from the mayor to -eport to Gardner. Late yesterday afternoon there was an interesting turn to the proceedings. Thomas R. Brown, the former private secretary, told of finding a list of the women of the town in Mayor Ames' desk after his flight in the summer of 1902. and former Capt. Henry Krumwiede. al though an unwilling witness, testified to the orders he had received in connection with the game of graft. Former Capt. C. R. Hill said he made out the list of thf women of the town, a of which was found in the mayor's desk. He did so at the command of the mayor. P. D. Boutell. head of a furniture es tablishment and a new witness, furnish? Ed the sensation of the day. He said his !irm sold furniture to many of the peo ple who were engaged in proscribed oc cupations and se.veral of them had called on him. and said they had been subjected to th i.j-m. He saw the mayor. and was referred to Gardner as the man who had the matter in charge. Joseph L. ("Reddy") Cohen, who was appointed manager of the graft after the removal of Gardner from this position, was called late In the afternoon, and At torney Gary objected to his appearance as a witness. Judge Harrison took the mat ter under advisement and will rule on the question this morning. Cohen was arrested- in Montana and brought to Minneapolis. At one time he pleaded guilty, but later withdrew his plea and on a jury trial secured his free dom. Later he claimed exemption on the ground he had- been a witness before the grand jury and was immune from pun ishment.
