Flanagan, former chief of police, and Fred Turner, former city detective, were acquitted in the Ram- | sey county district-court at St. Paul . on the charge of bribery in the third degree in connection with the alleged * payment of $1,000 by Dorothy Hazzard | for police protection for her resort. The jury agreed as to the verdict | of not guilty after being out nineteen | hours, but only about six and a half | hours were spent in actual delibera- | tion. The trial has been in progress | since Jan. 26. It w the first case of | the kind in the history of St. Paul | and was characterized by sensations | from the first day of taking testi- | mony. The two defendants went to trial | again Monday on a similar charge in | connection with the alleged payment | of $3,000 by Ida Dorsey for protection | for a resort which she conducted on | Vashington street. County Attorney ‘O’Brien moved before Judge Morrison | to proceed to trial at once in the Dor- sey case. Counsel for the defense! asked that the date for beginning the | Dorsey trial be fixed for Feb. 16, in-| timating a change cf counsel for Flan- | agan. The court suggested beginning the trial in a day and Flanagan in a per- sonal appeal to the court had the date | set for Monday morning. | When the verdict of the jury in the | Hazzard graft case was read there | were hisses from courtroom specta- tors and no applause. The court rapped for order. The hisses, however, did not repre sent the sentiment of all present, for many pressed forward to shake the; hands of the defendants and congratu- late them.

Did You Know They Closely Resemble Those of a Human Being? Your eyes are like a pig’s. If any- body told you sv you would doubtless feel insulted. And yet such a state ment would be quite correct. Your eyes are very much like a pig’s—more so, indeed, than they are like any other animal's. This is one of the most curious truths of physiology. A pig’s eye so closely resembles that of a human being as to serve a very important practical. purpose. Young men who are learning to be eye doctors are taught the rudiments of their business with the help of pigs’ eyes. They dis-| sect them and practice all sorts of | operations on them, from removing a cataract to the snipping of the muscles GRAND RAPIDS HERALD-REVIBW UNDER A LEOPARD And Just Within the Reach of the Jaws of Death. COOL NERVE OF A BRAVE BOY Courage, Presence of Mind and a Lucky Knife Thrust Put Him Out of Peril Curious Experience With a Vici Man Eater In South Africa. “Bulala” Taylor was one of the early settlers in the South African country that is now Matabeleland. He was the Chartered company’s right hand man in those days, and the natives held him in wholesome respect. More than once he checked threatening dis- | order almost single handed, and when- ever there was an uprising it was Bu- lala who took command of the white forces. But this is a story of Bulala junior, his son, a stocky little chip of the old block. It happened during one of the father’s absences in the field. The youngster, left in charge of the family commissariat, spent two or three evenings each week in hunting |—and with invariable success, for he was a “crack” shot. for all his youth. One morning he was late—hours late. His mother became anxious and sent some Kaffirs out to take up his spoor. A little way out they met his horse limping home. shivering and bleeding from many wounds.

U.S. CONTROL OF | WIRES EXPECTED Tendency ot Today Is Toward Government Ownership. TO MEET PEOPLE'S DEMANDS VEDNI re Armor Factory and Powder Plant Owned and Controlled by Uncle Sam Erected — Monopolistic Conditions Met—inquiry May Result In Advance of Second Class Postage Rates. By ARTHUR W. DUNN. Washington, Feb. 9.—[Special.]—The proposition to acquire the telegraph and telephone lines, urged so strongly by the postmaster general, is taken as a matter of course these days, or at least with less surprise than would have been the case a dozen years ago, when all suggestion of the government owning and operating public utilities was considered wild and fanciful. But there has been a tendency in tue direction of government control and operation of utilities, particularly when the government was the principal user of the product. A powder plant has been erected by the government, and it is proposed to build a plant for the manufacture of armor plate for the ships of the navy. In both cases it was because the products had been monopolized. The government refused to be “squeezed” in purchasing these war materials and decided to manu- facture its own powder ard armor, or at least a portion of them. It is the fear of monopoly in Alaska that causes the construction of a government rail- road in that territory. Demand of the People. Many men. speaking for the people. say that if the government builds and operates a powder plant and armor factory in order to meet monopolistic conditions where the government is 3 purchaser it ought to do the same where the people are purchasers, for, after all, the government is the people, and the payment in the last analysis comes out of the people. And so gov- ernment ownership of certain utilities receives high indorsement these days. Recalled by Mann. About the time that the ukase of the president put the rider for offices out of the postoffice bill Minority Leader Jim Mann recalled something to the Democrats. “You told us in those davs “when your stock in trade was abuse of Cannonism.” be said, “that the only manner in which a man could get a bill through the house was to go in a bumble manner, with hat in hand, to the door of the speaker and make a powerful appeal to that auto- crat. We have had ail that corrected by your new rules. Now it is in order for you to move up the avenue—up to the White House—leave your hat on the table and beg permission to ask the secretary of the president if you can ask the president for the right to } bring a matter before the house.” And he might have said that there were days, too, when Cannon, auto- crat of the house, as he was called, of- ten went to the White House for or- ders. Times have not changed—much, but parties have. Missing an Opportunity. The manufacturers of the “movies” | are missing an opportunity. They could get some mighty good scenes in the United States senate. There are occasions when the “action” in the senate would be worth while. There are senators who prance up and down while speaking, and there are others who keep moving rapidly while other men speak. Old Border Line Prejudice. There was always a border line be- tween Kansas and Missouri. It figures in the most important features of our history. They may wipe out state lines hereafter, but they will never eliminate that line between Kansas and Missouri. It is drawn sharply these days between the Missouri sen- ators and at least one of the Kansas senators. The Missourians and Sena- tor Bristow have not been able to keep the peace any more than the men who lived on the border in the antebellum days. Second Class Rates. With the postoffice department de- termined to increase the rates on sec- on class mail and with the determina- tion manifested by Chairman Moon and other Democrats to increase the rates, it seems almost certain that it is only a question of time before the ad- vance to 2 cents a pound, doubling the present rates, will be made. Chairman Moon will have hearings, although there have been tons of literature and hearings for months on the subject. Lane’s Levity. Senator Lune furnished as. much amusement for the galleries as any senator has in a dozen years. The Oregon senator has not spoken often nor for long drawn out remarks, but he says something every once in awhile that is interesting. He is a unique character. Taking the floor one morning, he said. “I had the floor when the entertainment closed yester- day.” And be was right. It was “en- tertainment” all right. ABOUT THE STATE Wes, of Especial interest to, Minnesota Readers, FIVE MEN PERISH IN BLAZ Number of Others Seriously Injured When Hotei at Kelliher Is De- stroyed by Fire. Five persons perished and seven others are seriously hurt as the result of the burning of the Kelliher hotel. The dead are: ODIN NICHOLSON, | thirty-three years old, general store clerk. GABRIEL SCHOBERG, thirty-two years old, laborer. E, PRATT, homesteader. CHARLES LARSON, laborer. M. McQUINN of Deer River. Most of the injured persons were employed at the hotel. Five travel- ing men were severely cut by broken glass when they escaped through win- dows. The fire started from an overheated furnace, it is believed, and was be- yond control when discovered. Most of those who met death were sleeping and the flames prevented the giving of warning to some of them. The hotel was a modern three-story building and had the fire been dis- covered a few minutes earlier the escape of all the occupants probably would have been effected. THREE MINERS MEET DEATH Smothered by Mass of Earth and Timbers. Three men were killed in an acci- dent at the North Uno mine on the Mesabi range near Hibbing operated by the Oliver Mining company. Ex- tra crews immediately were assigned | to the task of digging out the victims. Two of the dead are Steven Brown, twenty-two years, mining captain, sin- gle, whose home is at Hubbell, Mich., and George Setinich, twenty-five years old, believed to be married, with a family in Austria. The third is an Austrian, who has been employed at the mine only a short time. The three men were working in a small room on one of the upper lev- els and were planning to blast away a portion of the weight over the roof. Before the blast was touched off by other members of the crew they en- tered the room to cover up several open ore chutes. Owing to confusion over the signals, it is said, the men remained in the room too long and were buried by a mass of earth and timbers. a LUCIUS K. STANNARD DEAD Last Survivor of Minnesota Constitu- tional Convention in 1857. Lucius K. Stannard, aged ninety, the last survivor of the Minnesota constitutional convention of 1857 and the first attorney admitted to prac+ tice in Chisago county, is dead at his home in Taylors Falls. He served as prosecuting attorney and probate judge of Chisago county. Mr. Stannard numbered among the early pioneers of the state. He came to Minnesota in 1852, two years after he had been admitted to the bar in Vermont, where he was born, July 6, 1824, and where he received his edu- cation. Mr. Stannard was elected a delegate to the constitutional convention of District Court, Fifteenth Judicial Dis- trict. Gust Ersbo, ve. . C.
