D. F. LONGSTRBET, OF MEXICO,
AND J. H. HAWTHORNE MADE
DEFENDANTS
IN AN ACTION FOR DAMAGES.
J. FRANK WHEATON, A MINNEAPO
LIS COLORED MAN, IS THE
PLAINTIFF.
RESULT OF SOME LOST DRAFTS.
Some Colored Men Momentarily
Suspected of Having Secured
Possession of Them.
"Where is the man from Mexico?"
The speaker was Attorney F. L. Mc-
Ghee, who yesterday afternoon pro
pounded the above Query to the clerk
at the Metropolitan hotel. He was
not in search of Willie Collier, but de
sired an audience with D. F. Long
street, manager of the city railway
system of the city of Mexico, who Is
at the hotel as the guest of J- M.
Hawthorne. The clerk, however, with
that sagacity peculiar to hotel clerks,
divined who it was that Attorney Mc-
Ghee desired to see, and called a bell
boy.
"Show the gentleman up to 303," di
rected the clerk.
Attorney McGhee caught step with
the bell boy and followed him to the
second floor. A knock at No. 303
brought an elderly, medium-sized gen
tleman to the door.
"Mr. Longstreet?" asked Attorney
McGhee.
"Yes, sir."
With the answer, Mr. Longstreet
found a document thrust into his
hands, which, upon perusal, he found
to be a complaint and summons In a
$20,000 damage suit for false arrest.
As co-defendant, the papers named
J. M. Hawthorne, Mr. Longstreet's
friend and host. Attorney Hawthorne
and Mr. Longstreet became acquainted
while the former was scouring Mexico
last spring for free silver Informa
tion. Mr. Hawthorne was entertained
in Mexico by Mr. Longstreet, and,
when Mr. Longstreet stopped in St.
Paul a week ago on his w*y East, Mr.
Hawthorne was delighted to return
his hospitality. The signature attach
ed to the complaint Is that of J. Fr*»nk
Wheaton, the colored clerk of the mu
nicipal court, of Minneapolis.
When Mr. Longstreet, In the purest
English, asked for an explanation^ At
torney McGhee stowed away his Span
ish dictionary and proceeded to eluci
date. He informed Mr. Longstreet that,
as himself and Mr. Hawthorne had,
last Tuesday evening, caused the de
tention of Mr. Wheaton on suspicion
of having stolen $100 and two $200
drafts which Mr. Longstreet had lost,
that the colored man, as a consequence
of the unfounded action, considered his
good name and reputation damaged
to an extent where $20,000 was the only
equitable adjudication of the matter.
Bowing himself to the staircase, Attor
ney McGhee descended, and, humming
a fandango lightly to himself, mur
mured, as the hotel door slammed be
hind him:
"Now for that other man from Mex
ico."
Straightway he went to the office of
Attorney J. M. Hawthorne. Mr. Haw
thorne was busy, but discontinued his
work long enough to peruse the docu
ment, which Attorney McGhee tendered
him. Then he closed up his office for
the night and went to the hotel to con
sult with Mr. Longstreet. Attorney
Hawthorne and his guest talked the
matter over briefly, and then adjourned
to the home of the former for dinner.
To be sued for $20,000 is not a daily
privilege, and after dinner the discus
sion of the subject was renewed.
The suit grows out of the loss by Me,
Longstreet of a pocketbook in the Met
ropolitan hotel sample room, Tuesday
evening, containing $100 in cash and
two drafts for $100 each on Denver, Col.
Mr. Longstreet had for a short time
been in the company of J. Frank Whea
ton, Richard Jones, Black Pattl's hus
band, and C. H. Jones, a member of
the colored prima donna's company.
Mr. Hawthorne was apprised of his
friend's loss and the attendant circum
stances. Both thought that the color
ed men should be detained pending an
investigation. Attorney Hawthorne
went to the central police station,
where Capt. Rouleau dispatched two
officers back to the hotel with instruc
tions to bring the negroes to the sta
tion. This was done, but Mr. Long
street did not accompany the party.
The colored men were detained until
Attorney Hawthorne went for his
friend. "When Mr. Longstreet went to
the station a few minutes later, ho
told of losing his money, but declined
to make a formal charge against the
three men, and they were allowed to
depart. Attorney Hawthorne at once
telegraphed to Denver to stop payment
on the drafts and the incident had al
most been forgotten, when, yesterday,
it was quite vividly recalled by the
action of Wheaton in instituting the
$20,000 damage suit.

residence last evening, and asked about
the suit, laughingly declared the affair
a ridiculous proceeding. Said he:
"To establish false arrest It is neces
sary to prove a lack of reasonable
cause, and in thhs case there was suffi
cient reason for the course pursued,
and under the same circumstances I
should act in a like manner. The even
ing I called to see Mr. Longstreet he
was making arrangements to leave the
city. He suddenly missed his pocket
book, and telling me of having been
with the colored men, said possibly they
had stolen it. I went down to the sam
ple room, and just then the men came
in. I spoke to Mr. Barker, who sug
gested that in view of the suspicion,
that the colored men ought to be
searched. I went to the police sta
tion, where, after hearing the facts,
Capt. Rouleau sent the officers with
me to bring the men to the station. Mr.
Longstreet was disinclined to formal
ly charge the colored men with takin's
his pocketbook and they were allowed
to go. They were in reality not under
arrest, and were detained less than ten
minutes. From the statement made to
me by Mr. Longstreet. I did perfectly
right in trying to protect my friend
and to recover his money. There was
nothing whatever malicious in the pro
ceedings and far more than the reason
able cause existed."
Mr. Longstreet will leave St. Paul
this evening for his former home in
Bcston, Mass.
NO SHARE IN IT.
Local Pops Will Not Mix Up in Nash
ville Quarrel.
An important meeting of the People's
Party Central club, held In Labor hall
last evening, put an end to the attempts
of the Nashville faction to draw the
club into the quarrel made on the legal
ly constituted national People's party
national committee.
A large delegation of the middle-of
the-road faction from Minneapolis,
were present, and spoke strongly in
favor of anihilating for ever any at
tempt at fusion on the part of any
member of the People's party organiza
tion.
The real trouble arose over an at
tempt on the part of J. C. Hanley to
reconsider a set of resolutions adopted
seme time ago, by the club, which in
dorsed the People's party national com
mittee, represented by Senator Marion
Butler.
Dr. Fay, of Minneapolis, who spoke
in favor of the motion, said that he
has received communications from all
over the country, which go to prove
that in all those states where fusion
with the Democrats had taken place,
the People's party vote has greatly
diminished. He urged his hearers to
read an adiress issued recently by the
Nashville committee, and if any Popu
list could answer the arguments laid
down in that address, he, for one,
would favor fusion.
Mr. Hanley made a spirited address
and said that it was time that the club
put itself upon record as being either
in favor of or exposed to fusion, so
that the Populists would know just
where to stand. He was willing to
confess, however, that hitherto he had
favored fusion, but was willing to ad
mit the error he made in the past, and,
he said: "I hope the motion to recon
sider the resolutions will be carried as
there are a large number of Populists
who regard that resolution as a com
plete assent to fusion."
A. Paradis asked for the privilege of
answering Mr. Hanley and Dr. Fay.
In substance he said: "The word fusion
has been much abused. Before the
Democrats had adopted the Chicago
platform, fusion meant to divide the
spoils reaped in official patronage.
Prior to the formation of the People's
party, a large number of reformers
upholding different political creeds, had
seen fit to organize a new party." The
Omaha platform, he said, was as vari
gated as the colors in the prison— a
plank was Incorporated in it for the
purpose of satisfying each different fac
tion."
Finally the motion of Mr. Hanley was
lost. The vote being 14 in favor and
15 against— a good many not voting.
WHERE IS JOHN W. LARSON?
His Friends Are Afraid He Will Not
Be Married.
Today was to have been John W.
Larson's wedding day, but Instead of
enjoying the marriage festivities,
friends and relatives of the young man
are worrying over his mysterious dis
appearance. Larson lives at Belden
ville, Wis. He came to St. Paul last
Monday with a considerable sum of
money in his possession and has not
since been seen. His brother, Albert
S. Larson, was In the city yesterday
looking for the young man and asked
the assistance of the police in his
search. The brother fears some harm
has befallen the missing man.
The Larson brothers are well-to-do
farthers and own considerable land in
Pierce county, Wis. For a number of
years they have operated a threshing
machine throughout the Dakotas and
have thus obtained a comfortable bank
account. The missing man has been
engaged to an estimable young woman
living at Hudson, Wis., for two years
and today they were to have been mar
ried. Larson left Hudson Monday for
St. Paul for the purpose of purchasing
a suit of clothes. He was expected to
return within a couple of days and also
to call upon his cousin, Mark John
son, living at 878 Park avenue, this city.
Larson's prolonged absence, in the face
of the approaching wedding, led his j
brother to make inquiry, which devel
oped that the prospective groom had
not called at his cousin's home nor been
seen in St. Paul by any of his friends.
His brother reached the city yesterday
and after a fruitless search for trace
of the missing man, solicited the aid of
the police.
Larson Is a Scandinavian, thirty
eight years old, five feet, ten inches in
height, and weighs 170 pounds. When j
he disappeared he wore a black sack ;
suit of clothes, soft brown hat and long j
black ulster overcoat. He is of light
complexion, with sandy hair and is said
to be a man of good habits. This lat- ]
ter fact, together with the fact that |
Larson had upwards of $50 with him,
leads his relatives to fear some serious
experience has befallen him.
WILL HELP HIM ALONG.
New Building Inspector Will Get
Cash for Expenses.
The comomn council, as a committee
of the whole, will meet Monday even
ing, to consider the tax estimate as
prepared by the comptroller and adopt
ed by the conference committee. One
of the first things to be done by the
committee will be to amend the budget
so as to allow "a reasonable sum." as
one of the aldermen expressed it, for
the building inspector's department.
In the estimate as presented to the con
ference committee the amount allowed
for the building inspector's department
was placed at $5,900, of which $1,800 was
allowed for the inspector's salary; $4,000
for the five clerks and assistants in
the office, and $100 for office expenses.
The conference committee cut the ap
propriation down to $3,900, the opinion
of the committee being that the in
spector and two clerks could do all the
business necessary. Now that a Re
publican has been selected for the posi
tion as building inspector, the council
will undoubtedly decide that the de
partment is one of the most important
branches in the city government and
appropriate as near to the $11,000,
which, under the charter, is the limit
for the department, as possible. Under
the Bell charter the salary of the in
spector is fixed by the council, but can
not exceed $2,500 per annum.

DISPATCH GETS THE PRINTING,
>a 'I
After a Delegation From the Trades
and Labor Assembly Had
Been Heard.
Building: Inspector— Samuel H. Haas.
City Printer— St. Paul Dispatch.
These were the results of a caucus
held by the members of the council yes
terday afternoon in the parlor of the
mayor's office. All of the twenty mem
bers of the council attended the session,
which lasted a little over two hours.
The councilmen met in the council
chamber, but Assemblyman Reardon
advised an adjournment to the mayor's
office where it would be more quiet.
As the members filed out of the council
chamber and started for the caucus
room the scene reminded one of the
start in a six-day walking match. The
politicians, light and heavyweights.who
endeavor to carry out the impression
that they heel and handle the council
men, buttonholed the city repre
sentatives at various points along
the corridor and whispered words of
advice and instruction as to how they
should vote in the contest for build
ing inspector.
As soon as the transoms had been
battened down, the shades carefully
drawn and the doors locked the caucus
began its labors by selecting Aid. Al
lard chairman and Aid. Bigelow secre
tary. It was suggested that the ques
tion of selecting the official paper for
the coming year be taken up, as there
were delegations from the trades and
labor assembly and the St. Paul Dis
patch desiring to be heard.
There seemed to be no objection to
this and Assemblyman Daly was depu
tized to notify the trades and labor
assembly delegation that the caucus
would listen to their tale of woe. Mr.
Daly was gone so long on his errand
that another member of the assembly
became suspicious and Mr. Reardon fol
lowed after to learn what was the cause
of the delay. Before the two assembly
men returned to the room, a motion had
been put and carried to proceed with
the selection of a candidate for build
ing inspector. There was some discus
sion as to whether the first ballot
should be a formal or informal one, and
it was decided that the first should be
an informal one. A member of the
board of aldermen announced that he
wanted it distinctly understood that
even if one of the candidates should re
ceive a majority of the votes cast on
the informal ballot there should be no
motion to make the nomination unani
mous and a second ballot should be
taken. This was agreed to and the
balloting commenced.
The first or informal ballot gave
Charles F. Arrol six votes, Assembly
man Craig four, Samuel H. Haas five,
Gates A. Johnson Sr. two and A. F.
Gauger three. The friends of Arrol
had claimed ten and possibly eleven
votes on the first ballot, and in fact
had this number pledged Wednesday
night, but, during the darkness of
Wednesday night, those of the council
promised to Arrol had been visited,
and all kinds of stories poured into
their ears, which undoubtedly caused
the defeat of the machine candidate.
There were two candidates for the
Eighth ward, Johnson and Gauger,
and this made the chances of both for
landing the prize very slim. Assem
blyman Craig was surprised to learn,
when the Informal ballot was announc
ed, that three others beside himself
had voted for him. Four votes, how
ever, was the highest he received, and
on the last ballot he received only
one vote. Haas started off with five
votes on the informal ballot and in
creased until the final one, which nomi
nated him.
The following' is the result of the six
ballots taken: .
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
Arrol 6 7 6 7 4 5
Craig :..... A 3 2 13 1
Haas 5 4 6 6 7 11
Johnson 2 2 5 3 3 1
Gauger c 3 4 2 3 3 2
S. H. Haas, having received the ma
jority of the votes cast -on the sixth
ballot, was declared the caucus nomi
nee, and the members sat down to dis
cuss how it happened. The only solu
tion offered was that it had been any
thing to beat Arrol, and he had been
beaten. It was 'reported that Haas was
the candidate indorsed by Mayor Do
ran, and this brought about the re-"
suit, but those who know about how
much the councilmen care for the
wishes of the mayor on any particular
question did not put much stock in
the report.
Those voting for Haas on the ballot
on which he was chosen were Messrs.
Kenny, Donahower, Stutzman. Larson,
Lindahl, Kaldunskl, Sanborn, Daly,
Johnson and Dix.
The caucus then invited in the dele
gation from the Trades and Labor as
sembly, and Messrs. A. M. Knox and
H. T. Black from the Dispatch. Pat
rick Geraghty, the spokesman for the
labor organizations, said that the ob
jections of the labor unions against the
Dispatch being made the official paper
was owing to the publisher of the pa
per not having lived up to «the agree
ment made with the typographical
union in June 1896 and had paid no
attention to the report made by the
state board of arbitration of a latter
date. Messrs. Black and Knox, rep
resenting the Dispatch, followed Mr.

unanimous vote, selected the Dispatch

Assemblymen Johnson and Daly pre
pared the folowing reslolution:
Resolved, by the members of the common

relative to certain difficulties between said
bodies, and while not wishing in the least to

MET IN JOINT SESSION.
Elementary and Child Study Sec
tions Got Together.
The exercises in the auditorium of
the Central Presbyterian churoh of the
elementary and childhood study sec
tions yesterday afternoon, were some
what curtailed owing to the inability
of two of the speakers to be present.
The opening exercise was a talk by S.
S. Parr, chairman of the joint meeting,
and president of the child study sec
tion. Mr. Farr's address was on "The
Culture Epochs of Childhood." He in
troduced his subject by calling atten
tion to the observance of phases of de
velopment in common life. The Jews
had substantially six epochs of per
sonal development, to-wlt: Infancy,
childhood, youth, young manhood or
womanhood, maturity and old age. In
all reforms of educational methods
there was the observance of the epoch
Idea. The Greeks and Romans made
the distinction between man and boy.
The humanists taught that the little
boy was different Trom the big boy.
The realists held that boys of the same
age were not alike, while the natural
ists of the time of Montaigne and Mil
ton held that there were as many kinds
of boys of the same age as there were
different powers to develop. The child
hoodlsts, Locke, the Jesuits, and Froe
bel held that there were as many
stages of growth as there were faculties
to develop. The theory of culture
epochs was comparatively modern. It
had its origin in Germany out of an at*
tempt to fit instruction more fully to
the successive stages of growth.
After President Farr's address, Dr.
R. O. Beard gave a very comprehensive
address on "The Influence of the School
on the Health of the Child."
Prof. J. E. Frederick Woodbridge,
made an address on "Intellectual De
velopment of the Teacher." Prof.
Woodbridge led up to his subject with
a series of definitions of intellect. He
recommended reading, good reading,
that which had stood the test of cen
turies. Such works as Dante and
Homer were calculated to develop the
highest qualities of a teacher. He did
not think there were many teachers of
the present day who read Homer.
Reading was only one of the many
methods by which the teacher might
feed his intellectual life.
The following officers were elected on
recommendation of the committee on
nominations. President, D. H. Roberts;
vice president, M. I. Taggert, and sec
retary, MIS 3 Monnette.
