It expanded north and west from the Twin Cities through the Dakotas and east across Wisconsin to the Canadian border, where it connected with the Canadian Pacific RailRoad at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. The objective of the Soo Line RailRoad was to open an entirely new route for transporting flour and grain to the Eastern Seaboard and break the stranglehold on rates by rail carriers operating through Chicago. The new rail route to the East through the Canadian Pacific RailRoad connection at Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, was 200 miles shorter to Boston than transit through Chicago and it brought new competition for business and helped ease transportation costs for grain companies.

Kinkead was the Ramsey County Attorney who prosecuted the Green Lantern murder case in 1931, shortly after taking office after being elected in a bitter political contest with then county attorney Christopher O'Brien in 1930. The Green Lantern murder occurred when a young cook, Frank Ventress, was shot to death as he stepped away from his dinner at the Green Lantern saloon on North Wabasha Street, a notorious gangster hangout. Frank Fay was the suspected murderer. "Dapper" Danny Hogan (1880-1928,) an underworld figure, the boss of St. Paul's Irish Mob during Prohibition, and overseer of the notorious "O'Connor System" in St. Paul, once owned the Green Lantern. The "O'Connor System" was named for St. Paul Police Chief John "The Big Fellow" O'Connor. At the turn of 20th century, the eventual chief of the St. Paul Police department, John J. O'Connor, sent word out to gangsters all over America that they were welcome to St. Paul and that it was a safe haven and a safe city for them if they followed a certain set of rules. When bank robbers and kidnappers arrived at the Union Depot in downtown St. Paul, they had to identify themselves to police, pay the police a little tribute, frequently stolen jewelry, had to identify where they were staying while in St. Paul, and, while in the city limits of St. Paul, could not kill, maim, kidnap or rob anyone. If the gangster did not have a girlfriend in St. Paul, the police would direct them where to satisfy whatever personal vices they sought. Under the system, the gangsters could go to Minneapolis, Des Moines, Milwaukee, or Madison and kill, rob or loot so long as when they came back to St. Paul, the gangsters were on their best behavior. Pretty Boy Floyd, Machine Gun Kelly, the Barker-Karpis gang, Alvin "Creepy" Karpis, John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, Verne Miller, and virtually every other major hoodlum in the United States, with the exception of Pretty Boy Floyd, came to St. Paul during the period. The O'Connor system was called the "lay over" agreement because gangsters could "layover" in St. Paul and it lasted until the mid 1930's and the Edward Bremer and William Hamm kidnappings by the Barker-Karpis gang. That violation of the O'Connor system and of the safe haven stunned the influencial folk of St. Paul and led to the total collapse of the 36 year old agreement between the crooks and the police and the FBI came in, hunted down portions of the Barker-Karpis gang, and killed or arrested many members of the Dillinger gang. Other cities across America, such as Hot Springs, Arkansas, Toledo, Ohio, and Cicero, had "safe haven" agreements, but St. Paul was unique, functioning like a department store for gangsters, with machine guns being sold to bank robbers on Wabasha Street, loose women were available to be a gangster's girlfriend or moll, heavily armored getaway cars were offered for sale by the auto dealerships on University Avenue, substitute license plates were available, to be attached with quick-release lug-nuts, some of the best jazz musicians from across America could be heard at the speakeasies and blind pigs across St. Paul, illegal liquor was available throughout the city during the Prohibition period, and casinos and underworld gambling joints popped up in various parts of the city. John J. O'Connor (1855- ) was born in Louisville, Kentucky, came to St. Paul with his parents in 1856, was employed by the P.H. Kelly & Company for ten years, was a St. Paul police detective from 1881 until 1896, married Annie B.

Otto Bremer (1867-1951) was a banker's son who emigrated from Seesen, Germany to America in 1886 and, after a stint in Aberdeen, South Dakota, settled in St. Paul, was initially employed by Farwell, Ozmun, Kirk & Co., but when his paycheck didn't increase along with his work responsibilities as the assistant shipping clerk, left for a job as a bookkeeper with the National German American Bank of St. Paul, rose over the next 13 years to the position of chief clerk with the bank, became a major stockholder in the bank, and was elected Treasurer for the City of St. Paul in 1900. Bremer was nominated as a candidate for mayor of St. Paul in 1912, but lost the election by 546 votes. Otto Bremer bought into the newly organized American National Bank, in 1913, was elected to its board of directors, and became its president in 1921 when Benjamin Baer, the bank's second president and an original board member, died. In 1914, Otto aBremer and Adolph Bremer built the Bremer Arcade at Seventh and Robert Streets in St. Paul, and, in 1916, the American National Bank moved there. Bremer was an advisor to President Woodrow Wilson. By 1929, just before the stock market crash, the American National Bank had become the second largest bank in St. Paul. Bremer also established a chain of country banks, and, by 1933, he held large or controlling interests in 55 banks in Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, and Montana, apart from his holdings in American National, including the Western State Bank in Marshall, Minnesota. By 1934, his investments in "home banks" had brought Otto Bremer to the edge of bankruptcy. To avert proceedings by various creditors, particularly Chicago and New York banks, Adolf Bremer stepped in and pledged 200 of his shares in the Schmidt Brewing Company to secure the necessary portion of Otto Bremer's debt. A settlement was reached that cost Otto Bremer all his stockholdings in Chicago and eastern banks, and transferred all of his American National Bank stock from the creditors to Adolf Bremer, thus saving the country banks and the American National from probable sale. Perhaps in part because he was President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's advisor, Otto Bremer reached an agreement with the federal Reconstruction Finance Corporation that salvaged the American National from take-over. In 1939, Otto Bremer suffered a serious accident, stumbling backwards over a stool, one day at the brewery, severely fractured his arm and leg, and subsequently only got around with the help of a male nurse. President Roosevelt drafted Bremer to manage the Home Owners Loan Corporation for Minnesota and was added to a committee trying to prevent a strike on the Kansas City & Southern Railway. The Otto Bremer Foundation was formed in 1944 to make charitable grants in the communities served by the country banks. The American National Bank was sold to Milwaukee-based Firstar Corporation in 1996. Otto Bremer had a brother, Adolf Bremer (1869-1939), who, in 1896, married Marie/Maria Schmidt Bremer, the daughter of Jacob Schmidt, the founder of the Jacob Schmidt Brewing Company. In 1890, Jacob Schmidt hired as his bookkeeper Adolf Bremer, a fellow German whom he had met while trapshooting in the woods around the current site of Hamline University. When Jacob Schmidt died in 1911, his widow, Katherine Schmidt, Adolf Bremer, and Maria Schmidt inherited the brewery. The Bremer brothers donated heavily to the Democratic Party, which they believed best represented the interests of German brewers against rural prohibitionists. The brewers were thrust into politics in the 1890's to lobby against the Minnesota County Option Law, a law that gave counties the option to institute liquor prohibition. Otto Bremer became the president of the Schmidt Brewery when Adolf Bremer died in 1939. After Otto Bremer died in 1951, the Schmidt Brewing Company fell on hard times and was sold in 1954 to the Pfeiffer Brewing Company of Detroit. Otto Bremer never married, but was devoted to his younger brother and financial partner, Adolf Bremer, and provided his sister, Freida Bremer, a comfortable home during her life. Bremer created the Otto Bremer Foundation, funded by the profits of the Otto Bremer Company. Bremer Financial Corporation was founded in 1943 by Otto Bremer, is headquartered in St. Paul, and provides banking, investment, trust, and insurance services in over 100 locations throughout Minnesota, North Dakota, and Wisconsin. Adolph Bremer had a son, Edward George Bremer, president of the Commercial State Bank, who was kidnapped by the Barker-Karpis gang in 1934, as he drove his nine year old daughter, Hertzy Bremer, to the Summit School. Adolph Bremer was inducted into the Blackfeet Tribe in 1937. Adolph Bremer, Jr., was the president of the St. Paul Jaycees in 1941.

After graduating from Mechanic Arts High School, in 1925, the Harvard Club of Minnesota offered Blackmun a scholarship to Harvard University, where he compiled an impressive academic record as a mathematics major while working part-time as a janitor, and faced with a close choice between law school and medical school in 1929, he chose Harvard Law School, graduating in 1932. Blackmun taught for a year at the St. Paul College of Law (now known as the William Mitchell College of Law) while he served as law clerk to a U.S. circuit court judge, John B. Sanborn. Warren Burger had received his law degree from the St. Paul College of Law only two years before Blackmun's teaching stint, attending at night while working during the day as an insurance salesman. Blackmun was a member of the law firm Dorsey, Colman, Barker, Scott & Barber of Minneapolis from 1934 to 1950, and was a partner in firm from 1943 to 1950. In 1941, Blackmun married Dorothy E. Clark. From 1935 to 1941, Blackmun was an instructor in real property and taxation at the St. Paul College of Law and from 1945 to 1947, Blackmun was an instructor in wills and administration at the University of Minnesota Law School. Blackman was the resident counsel at the Mayo Clinic and Mayo Association from 1950 to 1959 and was nominated by President Eisenhower as judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, succeeding the Honorable John B. Sanborn, in 1959. Harry A. Blackmun was appointed to the Supreme Court by Richard Nixon, after his attempted appointments of Clement F. Haynsworth Jr., a federal appeals court judge from South Carolina, and G. Harrold Carswell, a federal district judge from Florida, failed. Blackmun was appointed to an auspicious seat on the Supreme Court, the seat once held by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Benjamin N. Cardozo, Felix Frankfurter, his former law school professor, and Abe Fortas. Justice Fortas resigned in 1969 after the disclosure that he had accepted a $20,000 fee from a foundation controlled by Louis E. Wolfson, a friend and former client who was under Federal investigation for violating securities laws. In his decisions, Blackmun attempted to balance First Amendment rights of free press with Sixth Amendment rights of fair trial, was conservative on obscenity cases, overruled the commercial speech doctrine and extended speech protection to commercial advertising, found a woman's fundamental right to personal privacy in the Fourteenth Amendment's concept of personal liberty affording a woman protection in determining whether or not to terminate her pregnancy, voted to curb the expansion of defendant's rights, and took a restrictive view of the "exclusionary" rule and modified the guarantees of the Fourth Amendment permitting routine police inventory searches of cars without warrants. By the time he retired at the age of 85, Blackmun was the third-oldest person ever to serve on the Supreme Court, with only Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes (1841-1935,) who retired at age 90, and Chief Justice Roger B. Taney (1777-1864,) who died in office at 87, serving at an older age. In 1997, Blackmun appeared in the role of Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story (1779-1845) in the motion picture Amistad. Blackman was quite close to his lifelong friend Chief Justice Warren Burger during his early years on the Supreme Court. Justice Blackmun had become a good friend with Burger when they attended grade school together. Justice Blackmun was even Chief Justice Burger's best man in Burger's wedding. By the end of Burger's tenure on the Supreme Court in 1985, however, they voted together on less than half of the decisions and their friendship had cooled. Blackmun and his wife, Dorothy Clark Blackmun, met on a municipal tennis court in 1937. The couple raised three daughters, Dr. Nancy Clark Blackmun, Psy.D. (Mrs. John C. Coniaris,) a psychologist, of Framingham, Massachussetts, Sally Ann Blackmun (Mrs. Michael V. Elsberry,) formerly an executive assistant for the Council on International Economic Policy in the Nixon White House and now senior associate general counsel for Orlando-based Darden Restaurants, Inc., and the chair of Planned Parenthood of Greater Orlando, of Orlando, Florida, and Susan Blackmun (Mrs. William H. Brown,) a freelance writer, also of Orlando, Florida. Sally Blackmun is the trustee of the collection of her father's correspondence, including the hate mail her father brought home because he was the author of the Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade in 1973. Corwin Manning Blackmun was born in Hancock, Minnesota, the son and only child of Andrew Perkins Blackmun (1839-1920) and Eliza Jane Cooley (1845-1926.) Corwin M.

A. Renz, after 1865, was the Ramsey County sheriff from 1876 to 1878, and died in St. Paul. John C. Becht and Sarah Schilling Becht had three children, Ida Becht (1857- ,) George Becht (1858- ,) and Anna Becht (1866- .) William Hamm, Jr., was the heir to the brewery fortune and, on June 15, 1933, was kidnapped near the brewery by the Barker-Karpis gang. Hamm was taken to Bensenville, Illinois, until the ransom was paid, and then was left in a vacant field in Wyoming, Minnesota, on U. S. Highway 61. None of the Hamm ransom money was ever found. Prohibition had all but closed down Hamm Brewing and there were whispers in St. Paul that the respectable William Hamm was in business with the Holden-Keating gang (Tommy Holden (1897-1953,) Francis "Jimmy" Keating (1899-1978,) Harvey Bailey (1888-1979,) Verne Miller ( -1933,) George Barnes/"Machine Gun" Kelly ( -1954,) and Frank "Jelly" Nash (1887-1933,)) a bank robbery gang and St. Paul's leading bootleggers, in selling legal near-beer out of its front doors, while shipping the illegal bootleg beer out the back door. The Keatings used their muscle to get Hamm's illegal brew into the St. Paul and Wisconsin area speakeasies, with the Hamm's legal supply operation distributing the illegal brew and collecting the revenue. A business dispute between Hamm and Keating resulted in the Karpis-Barker gang, working with the Keating's permission, snatching the brewer off the streets. The U.S. Attorney in St. Paul was convinced by Melvin Purvis and J. Edgar Hoover of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, relying on the accusation of St. Paul's notoriously corrupt police chief, John J. O'Connor, that the Roger Touhy gang had kidnapped Hamm and brought the indictment before a grand jury. Roger Touhy (1898-1959) was apprehended in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, after having been arrested for leaving the scene of an accident after knocking down a $22 telephone pole and refusing to pay for the damage. On the day on which Touhy was indicted, Alvin Karpis and the rest of the Barker gang returned to St. Paul and robbed a Swift & Company messenger of $30,000 on the steps of the main St. Paul Post Office, after killing a police officer in the process. None of the witnesses in the case could identify Touhy or the others during three separate line ups nor could they pick them out of photographs. William Hamm, Jr., was such a reluctant witness before the trial that the government publicly criticized him for his lack of cooperation. He avoided the FBI, and during the entire investigation, Hamm forced Purvis to work through his business manager, William Dunn, who in turn, would only answer questions through the Hamm family lawyer. When Purvis sent agents to collect Hamm and bring him to Chicago, Hamm took a plane to New York and did not return until the trial was almost over, but did testify. Attempting to get a confession out of Touhy, Purvis reportedly had the gang tortured in Chicago and over the course of a week, the gang members were only allowed to sleep in twenty minute intervals, and then woken up and beaten. As a result, Roger Touhy lost twenty-five pounds, had seven of his teeth knocked out, and had three of his vertebrae in his upper spine fractured, but Purvis never got his confession. The government prosecutor was Joseph B. Keenan, a former special aide to U. S. Attorney General Homer Cummings, who unsuccessfully requested that the trial be broadcast on national radio. The defense counsel was William Scott Stewart, a former Cook County Prosecutor who had defended every big name in Chicago from Dion O'Bannion to Al Capone. The case fell apart and the jury decided, eight to four, for an acquittal. In 1933, Roger "Terrible" Touhy, Gus Schafer, and Eddie McFadden, were arraigned in municipal court in St. Paul for kidnapping John Jacob "Jake the Barber" Factor (born Iakow Factrowitz,) the half-brother to the cosmetic king Max Factor, and Touhy and Schafer were convicted on the kidnapping charges, escaped from prison in 1942, and served a total of 26 years in prison before a federal judge overturned the conviction in 1959 on the grounds that Factor and the Chicago Capone mob had arranged the kidnapping. Roger Touhy was shotgunned to death in 1959, 25 days after his release from prison, by vengeful mob assassins on the front porch of his sister's house in Chicago's Austin community. Alvin Karpis was eventually tried and convicted for kidnapping William Hamm and served two decades in Alcatraz prison and lesser institutions. The Hamm house is reported to be haunted. The Hamm family donated the house in 1932 to the Community Chest, which used it as the East Side Relief Center, where long lines of poor people came for public assistance. The Hamm family sold the house in 1934, beginning its 40 year use as a boarding house. Following the killing of Ma Barker and Fred Barker in a Florida shootout, Alvin Karpis and Harry Campbell fled north to Atlantic City. Cornered by police at the Dan-Mor Hotel in early 1935, they shot their way out and escaped, but their mistresses, Dolores Delaney and Wynona Burdette, were captured and later sentenced to 5-years for harboring federal fugitives. Dolores Delaney gave birth to a son in custody, Raymond Alvin Karpis, who was given to Karpis' parents to raise in Chicago. Karpis and Campbell kidnapped a doctor in Pennsylvania and stole his car, released him unharmed in Ohio and abandoned the car in Michigan. They later organized a new gang, robbed a mail truck in Warren, Ohio, of $72,000 in mid-1935 and robbed a mail train at Garrettsville, Ohio, of $34,000 later in 1935. One member of the new gang was the Barkers' old friend Sam Coker, whose parole from the Oklahoma state prison was allegedly bought by Karpis. Rosa Marie Benz ( -1914) and Lydia M. Benz ( -1946) died in Ramsey County. George W. Benz (1906-1974) was born in Minnesota, had a mother with a maiden name of Hamm, and died in Ramsey County. Karin DuPaul and Richard DuPaul are the current owners of the house and are renovating the house. Karin DuPaul is a member of the Dayton's Bluff Community Council. Karin DuPaul formed the Swede Hollow Task Force, a community group dedicated to park issues, in 1978, and founded the Upper Swede Hollow Neighborhood Association in 1982. She also is the Crime Prevention Coordinator of the Payne-Phalen Neighborhood Council. [See note on Reed and Stem for 340 Summit Avenue.]

The Great Northern Railway, created by the 19th century railroad tycoon James J. Hill out of the prior St. Paul & Pacific RailRoad, ran from St. Paul to Seattle, Washington, with more than 1,700 miles of track. The Great Northern RailRoad was the most northern transcontinental railroad in the United States and ran north of the Northern Pacific RailRoad. The Great Northern RailRoad was a privately funded transcontinental railroad, refusing federal government subsidies for construction (although some of its predecessor railroads received land grants). The Great Northern RailRoad was the single transcontinental railroad avoiding receivership during the 1893-1897 depression. The Philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron Company was part of coal mining history in Pennsylvania. The first discovery of coal in Schuylkill County of eastern Pennsylvania is traced in legend to 1790. By 1817, a number of small individual mines had been opened and, in 1822, anthracite mining and shipping as a business was under way. By 1825, the Schuylkill Navigation Company completed the Schuylkill Canal for the transport of anthracite from Pottsville, Pennsylvania, to Philadelphia in barges. In 1842, the first Philadelphia & Reading RailRoad train left Philadelphia for Pottsville Pennsylvania, to compete with the canal for the coal trade. The canal began to fade in the 1860's and, in 1870, the Schuylkill Navigation Company leased its waterway to the Philadelphia and Reading RailRoad before ceasing operations completely before 1920. In 1871, the Philadelphia & Reading RailRoad established a subsidiary, the Philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron Company to capitalize on the demand for anthracite. The Reading Company, a holding company for the Philadelphia & Reading RailRoad and the Philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron Company formed to evade antitrust laws, was challenged in 1924 and the Reading Company was ordered to divest itself of the Philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron Company. The demand for anthracite lessened after World War II. The Reading Company was unsuccessful in shifting its profitablility to reliable business areas other than anthracite and went bankrupt in 1971, was not successfully reorganized and was folded into Conrail in 1976. In 1956, the Philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron Company changed its corporate title to the Philadelphia & Reading Corporation, and sold off what remained of its coal operations in 1961, including the Reading Anthracite Division, to its present day owners, with Reading Anthracite remaining the largest anthracite mining company in the world.

Keller, the owner of a small brewery called the Excelsior Brewery, then producing 500 barrels a year, needed money for expansion. Theodore Hamm lent Keller the money, with the brewery as collateral. When Keller defaulted on the loan in 1862, Theodore Hamm became the owner of a brewery. With its clear spring water and cool caves for storage, Swede Hollow was a perfect place for brewing beer. Theodore Hamm's brewery was located at the north end of the Hollow as early as the 1860's. The 1893 city directory included an advertisement for Hamm Excelsior beer. By 1894, the Hamm's brew house was an imposing five stories high, built of red brick and stone, with long rows of arched windows, ornate North Germanic gables, and a splendid baroque dome crowned by a cupola. The brewery was incorporated in 1896, with Theodore Hamm as president and his son, William Hamm, as vice-president and secretary. Theodore Hamm is buried at Calvary Cemetery in Saint Paul.

William Hamm served on the St. Paul City Park Board and the St. Paul City Council, and believed beautiful parks were an important part of city life. The large rock circle flower garden was part of the original design of this park. The deed for the property states that if not used as a park, the property should go back to the owner's descendants.

On December 16, 1977, eight women from the Citizens National Bank of Willmar, members of Willmar Bank Employees' Association Local 1, went on strike. Their jobs at the bank were to train men who then moved into higher paying jobs than the women had. They went on strike because they wanted to see job openings posted, and qualifications listed. They also wanted a chance to advance in their jobs. By conventional measures, their nearly two-year-old strike was a failure. When the strike was at its peak, few people in Willmar expressed whole-hearted support. The bank's directors used leverage wherever they could, including putting the financial squeeze on a nearby service station that allowed the striking women to use its restroom. The lawyer who took the women's case, John Mack, lost his position as chair of the Kandiyohi County Republican Party, but stayed with the "Willmar 8" until the end. In Summer 1978, the women dropped their discrimination lawsuit against the bank in exchange for a tiny financial settlement brokered by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Eventually, the National Labor Relations Board issued its final ruling on the women's labor complaint, finding that the bank had committed unfair labor practices, but that economic issues rather than unfair labor practices had caused the strike.
