URGES LAW TO PREVENT SCANDALS Washington, April 17.—Pres1- dent Roosevelt transmitted to congress today an important message relating to insurance legislation. Accompanying the message were the reportand rec- ommendations of the insurance convention held in Chicago last February. Among the recom- mendations is the draft of a bill which congress is urged to enact into law. The president urges the enactment of the proposed measure to prevent the possibility of a repetition of such scandals as those that have occured in con- nection with the insurance busi- ness as disclosed ty the Arm- strong committee. CHARGED WITH SERIOUS CRIME Ray Veats and Florence Lippee Will Have Hear- ing Tomorrow. The preliminary examination of TAKEN UNDER ADVISEMENT Sig; ars of Red Lake Right of Way Agreement Demur to Complaints. The Red Lake right. of way Roy Veats and Fiorence Lippe, who, it is claimed, went from Northome to Grand Forks, where they stopped together for seyeral days at a hotel in that city, will be held before Judge Skinvik to- morrow morning at 10 o’clock. Both the parties were arrested in Grand Foaks by Sheriff Bailey and brought back to Bemdji. The complaint upon which the warrant was issued, was issued upon information given by the woman’s husband. POLICE DANCE A BIG SUCCESS Large Crowd Participated in Ball Held at City Hall Last Night. Few former events of the kind ever given in Bemidji can be said to compare with the calico ball given last night at the city hall under the auspices of the local police department. It was a grand success in every way and showed that the ‘‘cops’ had made every preparation for the convenience and entertainment of the dancers. Flowers and bunting decorated the walls and ceiling with excellent effect. As each lady emerged from the check room after depositing her wraps she was presented with a beautiful brooch, the gift of Mayor Carter. Good feeling and excellent floor management pre- vailed throughout the evening and the dancers retired at an early hour well pleased with the evening’s diversion. The Be- midji orchestra furnished musiec. _— Strange “Tens.” Tea Is not always the fragrant bever- age which cheers but does not inebri- ate, and the name has curious applica- tlon. Ginger tea was once a most pop- ular beverage. Cowslips and other flowers and herbs, including camomile, thyme, marjoram, balm and mint, have been used. Historles have made us fa- millar with the substitutes for tea which our Revolutionary grandmothers used after the tea from the Last India company’s ships was poured into Bos- ton harbor. Tea made from the leaves of ribwort, strawberry plants and cur- rant bushes, sage, thoroughwort and other herbs was drunk. So called “lib- erty tea” was made from the leaves of four leaved loose strife, while Hyperion tea, according to a valuable chronicle of the time, was made from raspberry leaves and was said by patriots to be very delicate and most excellent. The beverage may have tasted so to the patriotic palates, but many a colonial dame must have longed if she had al- lowed herself for the fragrant Hyson ;vh!eh she had been accustomed to en- joy. e o A Curious People. That very curious race of “web footed,”short legged Papuan dwarfs, the Agaiambos, is not quite extinet. Cnptmn Barton, an official in New Guines, tells of a visit he paid at the end of last year: “A rumor having reached Cape Nelson that these in. teresting folk had all been massa- cred, it was gratifying to find a few of them still extant. Six males and four females were scen and exam- ined. They averred that they have ;m te]:néd.ren lfivi.ng, and it seems like- ly that in a few years ibe wi have wholly died ):mt-.” tetbel matter was up before Judge Spooner 1n district court yester- day when the attorneys for about 40 of the signers of the right of way agreement -pre- sented demurrers to the com- plaints served upon them by the railway company. The grounds for the demurrers were that no cause of action was stated in the complaint and that several causes of action were improperly united. BAPTISTS WILL COME IN JUNE Northwestern Baptist Associ- ation'Is to Convene " In Bemidji. - & Bemidji is to entertain a Bap- tist convention early in- the summer. The Northwestern Baptist association, whose mem- bers include churches in 25 cities and villages in the north- western part of the state, is to hold its annual meeting in this city from June 14 to 17, inclusive. Delegates to the number of 100 or more-will be present and the event will be one of interest and importance to Bemidji, and especially to the local Baptist church. The last annual meeting was held at Park Rapids last June and Bemidji was selected at that time from among several cities as the most desirable place for holding the 1906 convention, An- nouncement of the event has been deterred until now, how- ever, by Rev, Thomas Broomfield because of the uncertainty of the exact dates. 9 The convention'Hias no power to make rules and laws for the denomination, but -questions of importance to the church are discussed and the Baptists of the various towns are brought into closer touch, The program for the four days includes a meeting of the ministerial association, the regular business meeting, and meetings of the women’s soci- eties, the B, Y.P. U. and the Sunday school societies, Several high-class addresses are promised, Dr. W. B. Riley of the First Baptist church of Min- neapolis having agreed to be present or to send some able Nearly every attorney in the city was present representing several of the signers and A. Ueland appeared for the railway company. The arguments of the attorneys were heard, after which the matter was taken under advisement by the court. COURT REFUSES WOMAN ALIMONY Interesting Divorce Matter Up Before Judge Spooner Yesterday. Judge Spooner yesterday dis- solved an order to show cause and refosed to grant alimony to a woman claiming to be the wife of Peter Ducett of Kelliher. The case was entitled, Ada Ducett vs. Peter Ducett. The woman brought an action for divorce against Ducett some time ago, claiming that she was his common law wife, having entered into an agreement with him that they were to be husband and wife on or about Nov. 1, 1904. Ducett was cited toappear yesterday to show cause why he should nov advance money for the woman’s attor- ney’s fees and her support from the present time until the next court term in September. The defendant showed that Mrs. Ducett was married in Wisconsin in the year 1901 to ome John Campau and that she had not secured her divorce from him until Jan. 9, 1905. The defense brought out further that she had resumad her maiden name of Ada Newman after securing the divorce' from Campau and that she had brought suit against Ducett for wages, claiming that she had been in his employ as a thousekeeper. After hearing the arguments of the attorneys the court dissolved the order to show cause and refused to grant either attorneys’s fees or alimony. She Had to Apologize. This from Berlin: A well known woman Socialist agitator, Frau Tietz, recently visited the adjacent town of Kopenick, a place known | as “Berlin’s wash kitchen,” on ac- count of its numerous laundries. At 8 public meeting there, mainly_ at- tended by washerwomen, Frau Tietz stigmatized laundry owners as “pa- shas.” This remark, withall it meant, was regarded as libelous by the own- ers, who took action against the la- dy, and she was condemned to eight months’ imprisonment. Frau Tietz, to escape punishment, has agreed to insert an apology in the press to the effect that the laundry owners are not pashas. speaker in his place. The cities and villages sending delegates are as follows: Sauk Center, Brainerd, Breckenridge, Crookstor, Detroit, Moorhead, St. Cloud, Park Rapids, Parkers Prairie, Staples, Akeley, Battle Lake, Carman, Red Lake, Fair Haven, Frazee, Hubbard, La Porte, Little Falls, Maine Prairie, Neyis, Osage, Philbrook, White Oak. George H, Newton is a visitor in Bemidji today from Funkley. Queer George Bernard Shaw, Some one offered to send G. Ber- nard Shaw a box of game, but he re- lied that he would rather die than ive at the price of bloodshed. So the anxious donor offered flowers. “Surely you must be fond of flow- ers, Mr. Shaw?” “So I am of chil- dren,” he replied, “but I don’t eut off their heads and stick them .in pots about the room.” The Ark Born Man. Hundreds of the ancient gleaners of miscellaneous ecurlos, legends, myths and traditions give us fo understand that Cush was born on the ark. Others claim that there was a child born on the sacred vessel, but that it was sac- rificed to one of the wild beasts, Noah declaring that no person should leave the ark who had not gone on board ln the regulation manner. The weight of the evidence as it is given by the Tal- mudie writers is to the effect that Cush 1s the person referred to by the old time mystery gleaners when ‘they speak of the “ark born” man. The sa- cred books as well as the scores of Biblical encyclopedias, handbooks of ancient history, ete., are silent on the subject. In the “Saxon Chronicles” the following occurs; “Bedwig was the son of Shem, who was the son of Noah, and he (Bedwig) was born on the ark.” Herbert's note in “Nimrod,” volume 2, page 37, says, “Kybelc is the ark, and as Cush was begotten in the ark his posterity were in a peculiar sense de- scended from that ship.” Although Herbert makes no direct reference to the fact of Cush being actually born In the ark, he speaks of him in several places as “Cush, the ark born.” The Talmudic writers discredit the Bedwig story, but declare that Cush was born on the day that “God’s covenant” (the ralnbow) first appeared. The Birds at Dinner. If we notice carefully the beaks of all the birds we see, it will help us, by Indicating their habits of feeding, to locate them in their families and thus lead us to their correct names. All the sparrows have short, stout beaks, well suited to cracking open seeds and grain, which are their usual food. The thrushes have a curved bill, convenient: for holding worms and digging in the 6oil. They find most of their food on the ground, poking among the dead leaves and rubbish for grubs, beetles and larvae. Our robins, which are true thrushes, do valuable spring work in the garden and lawn pulling worms from the soil. Have you ever watched a robin at work? How he- tugs and pulls when the worm s long and does not come easily! There are an energy and a certain ‘business air about him when at work which are very interest- Ing. The tiny humming birds, with their long. needle shaped bills, are well equipped for securing honey from the very heart of the trumpet flowers and honeysuckles. They find numerous PUT ON NIGHT TRAIN Minnesota & International Said to Be Seriously Considering Project. WOULD RUN BETWEEN BE- MIDJI AND ST. PAUL. Claimed That New Schedule Will Go Into Effect on or About May 15, That the Minnesota & Inter- national railway will soon put on a daily night train running from Bemidji to St. Paul is a report, which, although not verified by the officials of the road, may have some foundation. It is common talk among the men working on the railway that this is the intention of the com- pany and some declare positively that it has already been decided to put.on the new service. Super- intendent Strachan of the M. & I, itis claimed, has expressed himself as being in favor of the project. The night train, according to the report, will be installed on or about May 15. E. K.

Brainerd Minn., April 17.— The officials of Cass and Crow Wing counties think they have solved the mystery surrounding the murder of Pat Holly of Mot- ley, whose dead body was found in & pile of refuse in his stable on March 28. Two men are suspected of having committed the deed, and the officers are searching for them. One is a halfbreed known as Indian Pete, and the other is known as George Pazo. Pete is a big strapping fellow who had \been doing no work and was “flush” about that time, having spent $7.50 in slot machines in Staples the night he left there. He departed the night the coroner arrived to make an in- vestigation and is said to have bought a ticket to Bismarck, N, D,, but is thought to have got off at Valley City, N. D. Pazo, believed to be the man who offered Holly’s team for sale in Brainerd, is small, of dark complexion and is thought to be an Italian or Bulgarian. He tallies perfectly with the de- scription of the man who offered the team to Sheriff Erickson and is known to have worked with Indian Pete in Dakota last sum- mer. Pazo has liyed around Aitkin off and on for some time. He was in Motley about the time of the discovery of the murder, but disappeared before the fact was known that the murdered man’s team was offered for sale here. First class descriptions of both men are in the hands of officials all over the northwest, and itis not believed that they can long escape apprehension. Pete is said to be a desperate man and handy with his knife. The case of Louis Larson of Fosstonvs. D, 8. Dennis of this city, involving a number of prom issory notes, was up before Judge Spooner yesterday, and on stipu- lation between the twoattorneys, J. A.
