CLARK OF PITTSBURG, SIX YEARS FOR BA-MAYOR AMES. Bribes, Gets a Long Term in State’s Prison. : EX-MAYOR AMES. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., May 16.—Dr. Albert? A. Ames, formerly Mayor of Minneapolis, was to-day sentenced to six years’ imprisonment for accepting bribes during his term ay the Chief Executive of this city. Ames was on the verge of a collapse when he ap- peared in court. A bond of $19,000 was accepted by the court and he will not have to go to prison until the Supreme Court has passed on his appeal. The bribes which Ames was charged with having accepted were taken from gamblers and proprietors of disorderly resorts. The arrest of two of these gamblers led to the exposure of a gigan- tle “ring” of corruptionsts, with Ames as the central figure. Ames was then serving his fourth term as Mayor, and was posing as a reformer. It-was white he was talking of en- forcing, the “blue laws’ of Minnesota that the Grand Jury met in April, 1903, and voted indictments against him, Hush Money trom Gamblers. These indictments came as the result of the arrest of “Billy” Edwards and “Cheerful Chane” Howard, confidence men. Upon being convicted of having swindled two men Edwards declared the police had played him false, and he made a statement in which he aid Ames and his followers had been ac- cepting a weekly “rakeof from the gamblers in Minneapohs, “Cheerful Charlie’ was the head of the gamblers’ syndicate in Minneapolis, He produced a’ book which he cailed the “Big Mitt Ledger,” which showed that Ames and the polic¢ had been paid $500 in cavh and $50 a week for “pro- tection.’ An Investigation which followed showed an appalling lot of corruption, The first Indictment voted against Ames charged him with having offered to bribe former County Commissioner E. P, Sweet If he would cast his vote for one of Ames's friends in the selection of a sheriff to succeed Phillip T. Megaarden, who had been removed by the Governor for malfevsaice In office.

There was a great report, and then a great flame shot up from below. deck where the two men were, carrying hatches and everything in the a way with it. The fire was not long in communicating itself to the other parts of the Vagabond. 3 + It happened that Mrs. Gibson and Mr. Folger, a guest on the yacht, were just preparing to go ashore when the explosion occurred. They were : standing within an arm’s length of the hatch cover when it blew off and the ; flames enveloped them. : ‘The Vagabond had been up the Hudson all morning, returning to Her anchorage and the scene of the explosion about noon.
