Early this morning, a plainclothes policeman is beaten and thrown out of a room at the St. Paul Hotel, where members of the state legislature and their friends are said to be playing cards. The officer returns with six more plainclothes men and "exciting scenes" follow, including the flight through a window into another room by a man who had hit the first policeman with his fist. Although at least one man is told to appear later in court, the entire matter is dropped while the legislators complain of a "frame-up" by the police to make trouble for members in disfavor with the city administration.
