ENGLISH LAW FAVORS
REAL ESTATE AGENTS
Practically re-Anglicized, Edward S.
Baring-Gould ,a director in. the Min
nesota Debenture company,- returns to
Minneapolis, after an absence of three
years spent in London. Mr. Baring
Gould is making a business trip of ten
days, and will investigate the# proper
ties of the debenture company, in which
he has a heavy personal interest.'
Changes in Minneapolis since his de
parture to represent the Minnesota De
benture company in England, as well
as to look after his personal interests,
amazed Mr. Baring-Gould greatly.
Three years ago both of the Walton
enterprises, at Walton Park and Co
lumbia Heights, were new and unde
veloped. Today Mr. Baring-Gould finds
extensive settlements in Doth places.
His company is in a fine new office on
Fourth street, a feature which was a
surprise also.
Superior tax laws in England make it
possible, to make more money in the real
estate business there than in America,
according to Mr. Baring-Gould *s ex
perience. Vacant property is "passed
up" in the tax lists. Only revenufi
oducing property must yield tribute.
this reason, he says, prices remain
firmer and are higher than in Minne
apolis, other things being equal.
Mr. Baring Gould left his wife, for
merly Miss lanton of Minneapolis, and
family iu ^England.

Says, in Answer to Charge' of Fraud
Thru Use Of Mails, that He Simply
Drew a Salary of $20 a Week for
the Use of His Name.
The trial of Edward A. Vaughan, on
a charge of devising a scheme to de
fraud by the use of the United States
mails, was begun before Judge Page
Morris in the United States district
court this morning.
Vaughan's line of defense was early
apparent. He claims that he was paid
a salary of $20 a week for the use of
his name by a brokerage firm, which
was really operated by three other men,
H. F. Raymond, J. Hogan and T Lane.
Several exhibits of printed circulars
were given, attention. One showed a
fine stone residence on Park avenue,
which was labeled, "The Residence of
Edward A. Vaughan." Frank R.
Chase, custodian of the Guaranty Loan
building, and Otto E. Naegele,preaident
of the Germania bank, identified the
picture as that of the residence of Ches
ter Simmons. There was a circular pic
ture of what was labeled "TJie
Vaughan Elevator," which witnesses
identified as the elevator of the Sowle
company, Minneapolis. There was also
a booklet of alleged letters from men
of prominence to Mr ^Vaughan, highly
indorsing his honesty antt'Sability. These
letters had facsimile signatures, and
among them were signatures of William
J. Bryan, and Senator W. B. Allison.H
That Vaughan had considerable capi*4
tal when he started in his Minneapolis
venture, is shown by the testimony of
Mr. Naegele of the Germania bank. He
stated that on Dec. ift), 1804, the
Vaughan account was started with a de
posit of six $1,000 'bills, two $100 bills,
and one $50 bill. Later he became sus
picious and rejected the account.
Testimony was introduced to show
that Vaughan had advertised very ex
tensively.
LIBRARY GDLPRIT IS
DENIED PRIVILEGES
At its meeting yesterday afternoon
the library board passed a motion de
priving one of the culprits, who has
been taking books from the library, of
all rights and privileges of the library
for a term oi. five years. Her library
cards will be canceled for that time
and admittance to the library will not
be allowed. This is the form of pun
ishment which the board has meted out
for the other offenders, now being
traced by the employees and officials
of the library. Miss Countryman, the
librarian, after a careful investigation,
succeeded in discovering the lost books
and then, confronting the woman who
took them, obtained a full confession
from the offender. The woman made
no denial of the charges, asserting that^
she found it a more simple matter
take out the books without having them
charged, altho she held library cards.
While there was no intention of
Stealing the books, the. woman took a#?
many books as suited her fancy and
kept them for an indefinite length of
time, all of which interfered with the*
records of the library and caused a
jood deal of annoyance. In no other
are visitors granted privileges
as generously as in# the Minneapolis
public library, and wKile the board does
not wish to curtail these privileges, a
continuance of the violation of the laws
and rules will eventually lead to strict
measures. The steps which the board
has taken and the publicity which has
been given the matter have apparently
had good effect, for of late a number of
books reported as missing for some
weeks have appeared unexpectedly on
the shelves.

Both the father and the mothef stood

Judge Smith Says Workhouse Sentences
and Not Fines Will, Be Imposed Upon
ViolatorsPolice Will Aid Park
Officer in Apprehending Offenders,
Owners and drivers of horses who
are too careless to keep their animajs
from destroying shade trees are to be
given opportunity to take an advanced
course in forestry under Superintendent
O'Donnell at the workhouse.
Judge C. L. Smith gave his ulti
matum in police court today in sen
tencing Charles Rice, who hitched his
horse to a tree. "This nuisance is be
coming too common," said the court,
"and no prisoner arraigned here can
plead ignorance of the law for it has
been published hundreds of times. The
cyclone destroyed nearly one-third of
our shade trees two years ago and we
need every one that is left.7
The ."judge then cited a branch of
work at Camden Place, where a score
of men are kept busy all summer keep
ing bugs off the trees and seeing that
they grow as fast as possible. He
thinks this would be excellent em
ployment for those who wilfully allow
their horses to destroy beautiful shade
trees. A year ago the park board
changed its ordinances allowing the
court to give straight sentences to
the workhouse for violations of the
ordinances. These will be enforced from
now on.

arrested 300 men for and
he is still kept busy bringing them to
the central station. In many eases,
however, he finds shade trees de
stroyed, but is unable to find the man
responsible for it. Now that he is to be
assisted by the .regular police, the
vandals will be very sure to euffer.
GO-EDS G1YE UP BASEBALL
BOLDEST LEADER COULD NOT EN-
DURE THOUGHTS OP BROTHERS
SEEING PRACTICE GAMES.
Unable to provide against the possi
bility of masculine inspection, the girl
baseball enthusiasts of the university
have abandoned their idea of forming a
team and there wil Ibe no co-ed league
on the university campus. This de
termination on the part of the girls
comes as a direct result of the refusal
of the university athletic board ,to
grant a request for barred gates and
canvas screens at Northrop field.
The plan for forming a co-ed baseball
league originated among several of the
athletic university girls and it found
enthusiastic support upon one condi
tion. This condition was that men
should be barred from the bleachers
during 4the progress of play^and that
precautions should be taken to prevent
the possibility of masculine inspection
from outside the* gates of Northrop
field.
2 Undismayed, ^Xifbe^Migtear of curb
&g the mimW*&i$&V%m men thl
ring leaders in the* mo#ne|S| appealed
to the athjetie board of fifc^troi and
asked that the screens used in secret
footbarl^ practice be placed in position
at oettai3ft-^ours each day, thus barring
the diamond ,&om outside -^inspection.
The athletic' betf a,^feowoyer, called the
attention the girls to the fact that
Northrop field, was in constant use and
that varsity baseball and track candi
dates should be given the preference in
tne use of the field.
MAYOR ORDERS LOW
WYES CLEARED OUT
Peremptory orders were issued hy
Mayor David P. Jones today to clear
out women of the town who' mhabiF8Td
frame dwellings opposite the city hall
on the Third avenue side and the tene
ment row. opposite the Fourth street
side. These places have been under
suspicion for some years and have borne
an unsavory reputation, but the inmates
have been very prudent until lately.
But now they have become unusually
bold. It is understood that the offend
ers are recent arrivals in the city, and
they have doubtless come from places
where police supervision is not so strict
as Minneapolis.
No leniency is shown this class of,
people when proper evidence can be ob
tained. The tenants of a building on
Third avenue S, between Seventh and
Eighth streets, have been driven out
three times by the police within a few
months, and the owner has now be
come so tired of the game t^at he is
about to convert the prdperiy into a
store building.

PRlZm^SSAY CONTEST AND JIM KEY

work which his owner, A. R. Rogers, hopes to accomplish. But the horse's
henefit exh|b#|pnsjk $0 only a small part of the work.
Workers are now busy in the public schools supplementing the interest
created by Jm Key's wonderful feats. These workers are forming Jim
Key Bands of, Mexcy,
To maintain the enthusiasm and give it direction, The Journal,
in co-operation with Mr. Rogers, has arranged a prize essay contest for
pupils in the fourth to eighth grades, inclusive. They axe asked to write
brief essays based on their own observations showing how animals respond
to kindness and patience.
Papers should be plainly written on one side of the paper only, and
should not exceed 800 words.
Each paper should bear the name, address, school and grade of the
writer, and, of course, all must he original and neat. Spelling will also be
a factor in the consideration.
If you have done or seen any act of kindness to any animal, just write
the story pimply and send it to "Uncle Bert," care of The Minneapolis
Journal. This is the name by which Mr. Rogers is known to some 700,000
Band of Mercy members in the United States, and he keeps closely in touch
with the writers.
Prizes will be awarded each week for the papers from each grade, each
class receiving three prises, $1, 75 cents and 50 cents, respectively. After
Jim Key goes, the best of these papers will be published every day for a

Jim Key's wonderful performances
have'been the chief topic of conversa
tion among the children and the men
and women have also been greatly in
terested. The children accept Jim for
what he isan educated horsebut
thfcir elders are often skeptical. The
majority believe there must be a trick
of some kind, and nearly every one
has a theory as to how the horse ac
complishes these wonderful acts.
How Is It Done?
As a rule these explanations as to
"how it is done" would make Jim a
much smarter horse than to be merely
educated. One declares that Jim is
touched in various places with the little
whip Dr Key carries to indicate the

different numbers and letters to answer
the questions asked. This would make
Jim a very wonderful horse, indeed, if
he could remember that a touch on the
shoulder might mean the letter "A,"
or a touch a few inches lower would
indicate to him that "L" was desired.
Poor Jim would have to remember that
about every different inch of his body
had a meaning. A theosophist declared
he had a soul and urged Mr. Rogers to
S guard him carefully. A child expressed
the belief that Dr. Key made the letters
or figures on Jim's back with the
whip others declare it is hypnotism
3 by Dr. Key, but all are reluctant to
$ believe it possible really to educate a
horBe. The theory of hypnotism is done
5 away with, for Jim will give his won
derful performances also for the groom,
Stanley Davis. Dr. Key was becoming
hoarse with so much talking during the
various performances and Thursday
this groom took charge of the per
formance and Jim never hesitated to
do anything that was asked of him.
Jim and the Apples.
Jim's fondness for apples led Dr.
Key to first discover Jim's unusual in
telligence. Dr. Key had a little apple
tree just beginning to bear fruit,
which he prized very highly. The first
ripe apple he found on the tree he
placed in a box with a cover, in the
barn near Jim's stall. Jim watched
him very closely, but the doctor thought
nothing of that.
The next day he found another ripe
apple and when he opened the box
to place it with the other he discov
ered the first apple was gone^ He de
cided at once that some of the little
pickaninnies on the place had taken
it, when the second and third apple
were taken. Dr. Key determined to
watch the thief, so after placing an
other apple in the box he secreted
himself in the hayloft where he could
see what was going on.
Presently he saw Jim open the latch
of his stall with his nose, and go
directly to the box with the apple,
raise the lid, again using his nose,
take out the apple and carefully close
the lid. Dr. Key decided so bright a
horse could be educated.
Jim was taught to do one of his
most difficult actstaking a half dol
lar from a glass nar partly filled with
water, without drinking any of the
waterthru his fondness for apples.
An apple was first placed in the
bottom of the jar with but a little
water and Jim took it out at once.
Each time more water was poured
into the jar and Jim finally understood
if he wished to have the apple he
must put his mouth under the water.
Dr. Key told him again and again
what to do, but the fact that he must
hold his breath during this act he
must have reasoned out for himself.
Kindness, Always.
Nothing but kindness has ever been
shown Jim and this is manifested in
his exceeding love for Dr. Key. Only
once have they been separated.
When Jim was in Atlantic City Dr.
Key left, for his old southern home for
a two weeks' vacation. When night
came and no Dr. Key, Jim began to
be restless and finally paced up and
down his stall, refusing to eat, drink
or lie down. All night he kept this up.
In the morning the groom telegraphed
for Mr. Rogers, and when he arrived
he found the horse in such an ex
cited and restless condition that he
feared for his health. Dr. Key was
telegraphed to return at once.
When he arrived the old colored man
placed his arms around his pet and
cried like a child, while the affection
that Jim showed was really touching.
In a few moments Jim was lying down,
resting peacefully.
MUCH GUHMINGS CASH
GABNISHEEB BY BIYAL
By garnishments served this morning
upon a half dozen Minneapolis banks
and individuals, albout $75,000 belong
ing to A- J. Cummings, a Chamber of
Commerce firm, has been tied up, and a
decided point has been scored by the
Edwards-Wood company in their long
fight with the local chamber.
The garnishments are the outgrowth
of a suit begun by the Edwards-Wood
company against the A. J. Cummings
concern in the Ramsey county district
court. The plaintiff claims that the de
fendant is indebted to it in the sum
of $100,000, and that all efforts to
secure an adjustment have proved fu
tile. Since the complaining concern
was"" expelled from the Chamber of Com
merce there has been considerable feel
ing shown, and the present suit is a con
tinuation of the fight.
The coup sprung this morning by the
Edwards-Wood people was highly suc
cessful, and before anything could be
done with the Cummings funds, garnish
ments were served upon the First Na
tional bank, the Bank of Commerce, the
Northwestern National bank, the Ger*
man-American bank, Minnesota Nation*
al, Security and Swedish-American
banks,.and upon Watson & Co. and W.
H. Dickinson, The case will come on
for hearing in Ramsey county next
week.

One reason why we can deliver your lum
ber quickly is because the "Salzer Dryers"
are so arranged that any kind of lumber can
be loaded right from the shed to the wagon.
Another reason is that we have teams at the
sheds ready to deliver. But the principal
reason is that we have the right kind of lum
ber in our sheds. If you want dry lumber
quick, phone and it will be there.
