Holraer, a mechanical engineer, who
used to be a close friend of Stensland
but who had not seen him for two years.
Holmer had gone to the station to meet
a friend that was on his way East and,
while they were talking In the Pullman
car, his attention was attracted to a
man seated near. In telling of the inci
dent, Holmer-said today: .
"I walked up to him and said, 'Hello,
Stensland. what are you doing here?"
" 'For God's sake," he said, 'Is it you?
Don't give me away." .
"I told him he and his affairs were
none of my business and then he started
to talk. He said he supposed I knew all
about his trouble and declared he was
almost out of his mind with worry. He
told me he was going East and said he
had plenty of money.
"My friend, who came from Rochester
via Buffalo, told me the man whom I
recognised had been on the train from
that city and they had talked together,

CASHIER BACKED BOOKIES.
Hering Represented Himself as a
Wealthy Man Seeking "Suckers."
CHICAGO. Aug. 15. (Special.) Abso
lute proof tlrat Henry Hering. cashier of
the wrecked Milwaukee-Avenue State
Bank, was financial backer of a book
making syndicate which laid odds on
horseraces, was brought to light late to
day, when Inspector Shippy found a
check made payable to Harry M. Smith,
who for years ran the Buffet at 56 South
State street, and whose place waa closed
this Spring, because of running a hand
book, that handbook being none other
than that run by the syndicate headed by
Hering, but whose name never appeared
as connected with it until today. Other
men In the syndicate were Charles Fran
cis, Thomas Rowe, Walter Frantzen,
Harry Thorpe and Henry Troy.
All these men were interviewed by the
inspector and all admitted that they were
connected with the book, but denied that
they knew that Hering was connected
with any bank, and said that he repre
sented that he was a wealthy man, and
that he wanted to increase his wealth by
separating "a few suckers from their
loose change."

HEAT PROSTRATES MANY
Minneapolis Enjoys Grand Arnty
Spectacle and Cheers Old Sol
diers Oldest and Youngest
In Line One Dies.
MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 15. For the 40th
time since its work was finished and its
glory won, the Grand Army was In line
today. There have been many parades
more gorgeous, spectacles more dazzling
and bewildering, but never has there
been In this country one more appealing
and Impressive than that which passed
through the streets of Minneapolis dur
ing the greater part of this morning.
The parade was a notable affair, as
such things go, well handled, quick
moving and inspiring to look upon. It
was a day of pride for the old soldiers
in themselves and for the multitude in
the soldiers. Over the heads of the vete
rans, as they marched along," countless
flags snapped in the breeze, . and their
lines passed for miles between buildings,
gorgeously decorated in their honor. The
day was ideal. Several sharp showers
during the night dispelled the oppres
siveness of the season and a cool breeze
swept the streets.
Cheers for Female Drill Corps.
With the head of the column, which
moved promptly at 10 -o'clock, was a
mounted platoon of police. Directly be
hind the police and at the head of the
parade proper came the magnificent Cook
Drum Corps and Band, of Denver, its
showy Zouave uniforms making a splen
did appearance. Twenty-two young wo
men, who form a arlll corps and are a
portion of the organization, were espe
cially favorites with the multitude, and
were given a continuous ovation during
the parade.
Next came the chief marshal of the
parade, ex-Governor Van Sant, and his
chief of staff. General Fred B. Wood.
Adjutant-General of Minnesota, who was
followed by officers composing the regi
mental and staff officers of the Minnesota
National Guard. Then, marching in
splendid, even ranks, with their forma
tion superbly kept throughout the entire
parade, came the first of the old sol
diersColumbia Post, of Chicago acting
as the principal escort of the commander-in-chief.
Behind this post came Commander-in-Chief
Tanner, mounted, and
attenfied by his personal staff. Following
the officers of the organization came the
men who were the life guard of the Na
tionthe heroes of the Civil War. The
states marched In order of their admis
sion to the Grand Army, Illinois having
the right of the line, followed by Wis
consin, Pennsylvania, Ohio and New
York in the order named. Twenty other
states followed these.
Oldest and Youngest Veteran.
In the band which preceded the Bock
Island, 111., veterans were represented
the extremes of enlistment in the Civil
War the one being Anson M. Hubbard
of Mollne, 111., who, although 90 years
old, marched In as springy a manner
and blew his fife as shrilly as he did
during the war. The other extreme was
seen in the person of Lyston D. Howe, of
Streator, 111., who was the youngest man
to enlist during the war.
After the men from New York came
the scarlet banner of Massachusetts, then
New Jersey and Maine, after which came
the first of the far Western states, Cali
fornia and Nevada being massed together.
Their men were few in number. New
England came to the front once more
with the men' from Rhode Island, New
Hampshire and Vermont. The latter
state was especially well represented,
many members of the famous old "Ver
mont Brigade" being In line.
Maryland had a small detachment and
then came long ranks of the Western
soldiers of the armies of the Cumber
land and of the Tennessee, marching un.
der the banners of Michigan, Indiana,
Iowa, Missouri and Kentucky. The last
of the line was Minneapolis. Its soldiers
received hearty greetings as they closed
the long line. The column was about
three hours in passing a given point. The
line of march was two miles.
The relief corps was busy during the
day collecting the men and women who
became prostrated by heat and fatigue
and carrying them to the hospitals. In
addition to these prostrations there were
many cases of exhaustion, none of which
la serious.
Thomas A. Martin, senior vice-commander
of the Department of the Potomac
and a clerk in the Treasury Department
at Washington, became ill while march
ing and died as he was being taken to
the hospital.
George Penney, of Logan, la., stepped
In front of an automobile and was run
over and seriously Injured.
NO ROOM FOR JAPANESE
Berkeley Grammar Schools Declared
to Be Too Crowded.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. . 15. (Special.)
City Superintendent of Schools Water
man, of Berkeley, has refused the ap
plications of at least a dozen Japanese
students for the grammar grades, alleg
ing that there is Insufficient room at
present for even the American children.
Berkeley Is cramped for school accom
modations, but it Is known that no Amer
ican children have been kept from school
on that account. However, In every case
Japanese applications have been refused.
Consul Uyeno has begun an inquiry and
will protest to Washington. When San
Francisco made an effort to 'segregate
the Japanese from other school children
a year ago, Consul Uyeno made such a
protest that the plan was immediately
abandoned.
Court-Martlal of Executive Officer.
MARE ISLAND, Cal., Aug. 15. A court
martial convened today to try Edward H.
Dunn, executive officer of the receiving
ship Independence, on the charge of con
duct unbecoming an officer and gentle
man. The court-martial is composed of

kins, Phelps and McCracken. Medical In
spector and Commander A. W. Dodd, Pay
master Potter, Captain Robert Cutts,
Judge - Advocate. Second Lieutenant
White Is assisted by Attorney J. T. Ricen
for the defense.
The defense challenged Admiral Miller
and Commander Dodd as members of the
court, on" the ground of implied bias In
cases where liquor acted as a means to
irresponsibility or insanity. The chal
lenge of the defense was overruled. Mil
ler and Dodd stated that they would give
the defendant an impartial trial.
A motion that the trial be held behind
closed doors was overruled by the court.
The trial was continued until tomorrow.
UNWRITTEN LAW SUPREME
New Orleans Judge Discharges Slayer
of Unfaithful Wife.
NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 15. (Special.)
The belief of the people of the South in
the unwritten law was evidenced here
today, when Peter Manale's acquittal of
the charge of murder of his faithless
wife and the serious shooting of her
paramour was greeted with such ap
plause that the court officials had diffi
culty in restoring order. As the acquit
tal was announced, tears were stream
ing down the face of the Judge, and im
mediately after the trial he hastened to
shake hands with the man who had just
been' acquitted.
Never before In the history of the court
has there been a more dramatic climax
to a case than there was in the dis
charge of this young man, whose home
had been ruined. Throughout the case
Judge Auceln paid the closest attention
to the nature of the testimony given by
some of the witnesses, and when Manale
was placed on the stand It was with the
most sympathetic look that the magis
trate swore him. Manale gave all his
testimony, and his attorney. Thomas J.
Ford, said the defense would rest there.
"Let the accused go," said the Judge.
As the decision was announced by the
crier, many of the spectators clapped
their hands and beat the floor with their
feet. The state made no effort to pro
duce witnesses for the prosecution.

LEAVE COURTS TO DECIDE
Extra Fare to Be Repaid if Company
looses Three High Officials of
Rapid Transit Arrested
for Causing Riots.
NEW YORK, Aug. 15. The troubles of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
with those of Its patrons who since
Sunday have acted under an opinion by
Supreme Court Justice Gaynor and re
fused to pay two 5-cent fares to Coney
Isfland seemed tonight to be nearlng
an amicable adjustment. The company
this afternoon adopted a plan suggested
by Acting Mayor McGowan to give a
rebate receipt to every person paying a
10-cent fare, 6 cents to be returned to
the holder if the Court of ADneals ud-
f holds the decision of Justice Gaynor
that 5 cents is the legal fare to Coney
Island. If the court should decide that
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
is acting within Us rights in charging
double fare, however, the receipt is to
be null and void.
Police Magistrate Hlgglnbotham late
tonight personally caused the arrest
of Vice-President John E. Calderwood,
General Traffic Manager Dow Smith and
District Superintendent W. S. Newberry
of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company,
on charges of Inciting to riot and com
mitting acts- productive of public disorders.
