PRICES ADVANCED AGENTS WILL BUY SUPPLIES IN OPEN MARKET TO ESCAPE EXTORTION. ‘Washington, Aug. 4. Provision trusts and combinations in the isth- mian canal zone succeeded in increas- ing the price of meats, vegetables and fruits more than 100 per cent and forced the isthmian canal commission to pass a resolution at a recent meet- ing enabling its agents to buy supplics in the open market and without ad- vertising for bids. Members of the commission say they discovered that all the dealer: visions who had sutlicient ca to furnish the bond required of bid- ders on supplies had pooled their in- terests and cornercd the centracts for all vegetables, meats and fruits re- quired for the commission's hotels and messes. The combination i a position to demand proh prices and the commission was forced to change its methods and cnable small dealers and producers to com- pete for the business, As a safeguard the commission res- olution provides that not more than $500 worth of supplies is to be boughi dalily in the open market without ask- fng for bids. This limits the pur- chases in open market to perishable provisions, f&:cxg‘y TRUST ON THE ISTHMUS oicTaronstiP NexT IN LINE[INJUNCTION AGAINST RALL PLAYING IN DOWN-TOWN PARK IS DENIED BY COURT 100 PER CENT| BEMIDJ1, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 4, 1906. CZAR REFUSES TO ACCEPT PRE- MIER'S PLAN TO REORGAN- IZE CABINET. St. Petersburg, Aug. 4.—The report that Emperor Nicholas had flatly re- fused to accept the conditions to which Premier Stolypin agreed in his nego- tiations with Count Heyden, Alexan- der Guchkofi, Prince Nicholas Lvoif, Paul Vinogradoff and Scnator Koni for the reorganization of the cabinet and which the premier recommended the emperor to accept turns out to be true. Official confirmation comes in a one line announcement as follows: “The reports that the non-burean- cratic elements will enter the cabinet are untrue,” Count Heyden and his conferees have now washed their hands of the government. The count himself has already left St. Petersburg for his estate in the country and all M. Sto- Ivpin's glittering promises of “strong handed reforms” are thus suddenly dashed to the earth. At his first en- counter with the influences at court he has been worsted and the predie- tions of the liberals that the dissolu- tion of parliament would inevitably lead to a dictatorship appear on the point of realization. There is no doubt that the panic created at court by the mutiny at Cronstadt, within earshot of the emperor, made the vie- tory of the camarilla easy. It is diffi- cult to understand how M. Stolypin can now remain in office without stul- tifying himself in the eyes of the na- tion and the world. WHHEr S Suspension Fermanent. Washington, Aug. 4—W.

TEN CENTS PER WEEEK e Judge McClenahan Refuses to Stop National Game in Bemidji.— Necessary to Show That General Rights of Public, as Well as Plaintiff’s Private Right, Is Violated, Says Judge; Also That Property Right Has Been Damaged. Judge McClenahan has filed his decision in the case of John Wallin vs. Earl Barker, Walter S. Brooks and Lee LeGore, wherein the plaintiff soughtan order from the court to the defendants to show cause why they should not be restrained from maintaining a nuisance, in plain ‘lay’’ terms, using the new baseball park for purposes for which it was origin- ally intended, exemplifying the rudiments of the great national game. He has denied the order. In their appeal for the injunc- tion, G. W. Campbell and L. T. Larson, counsel for Wallin, set forth that the defendants had used the grounds to play ball on Sunday and ‘‘had threatened to play thereon both Sundays and week days,” and they filed affi- davits to that effect. According to the plaintiff, » great multitude of people as- semble at the grounds, and there is “applause, shouting, and un- seemly noise and distvrbance,” horns and niegnphones being used; that “such noise and dis- turbance made it impossible for the plaintiff to enjoy rest and quiet on the Sabbath day,” and that as a result of the use of the grounds for ball playing, he had beendamaged in his private right. In their answer, the defend- ants deny that ' there has ever been or will be other than natural conversation and quiet, good- natured and orderly expressions of approval of plays that please 1he spectators; that police officers are in attendance at all games to maintain order, and that the best citizens of Bemidj, with their families, attended the games.

Belcher, who while mayor of this city absconded a year ago and who sur- rendered himself on Monday last, has been sentenced to twelve years’ im- prisonment in the state prison at Trenton on a charge of embezzlement. Belcher disappeared from this city about'a year ago while he was mayor. He was alleged to have embezzled from $100,000 to $150,000 from per- sonal friends-and from the Manchester Building and Loan association, which was forced to suspend business. No trace of the missing man was discov- ered by the authorities until he ap- peared at the county jail Monday night and voluntarily surrendered. The courtroom in which Belcher the plaintiff, the judge avers that apparently no private right of the plaintiff has been violated by the knowledge that games were be- ing played on Sunday; that the defendant must show that some property right has been damaged, and general rights of the public as well as his private right, and that the findings show that the complaint of the plaintiff cannot be made the Lasis of an enjoining order. 3 was sentenced was crowded with his H.

TRUST GAIN NOTHING BY ATTACK ON TRIAL JUDGE. ESCAPE IMPRISONMENT FOR A TIME DECISION AWAITS APPROVAL OF HIGHER COURT, ADJOURNED FOR THE SUMMER. Toledo, O., Aug. 4—Judge Babcock, in common pleas court, has handed down his decision in the ice cases, sustaining Judge Kinkald in every particular and exonerating him of hav- ing made any promise or suggestion of leniency as claimed by the attor- neys for the ice trust. The judge de- clared the contentions of the attor- neys for the trust to be ridiculous and should never have been brought into court, ‘Were it not for the fact that the icemen’s attorneys succeeded in get- ting into circuit court on error the defendants would at once have to go to the workhouse. Technically their cases are yet pending in the upper court, although Judge Babcock’s de- cision removes the case entirely from the circuit court. That court, however, is adjourned until the middle of Sep- tember and sentences are suspended until the court meets and decides it has nothing further to do with the cases. Should the attorneys for the icemen appeal from Judge Babcock to the circuit court, which they are likely to do, that court will either send the® cases back for rehearing in common Muslin Underwear Ladies’ Muslin Underwear at cost ] i i i !

When our orders finally came we were told to leave without making any attempt to arrest our man. “The expenses of this expedition were paid by the United States mar- shal at Madison and it was he who told us to withdraw when we were so near success.

Great [I*alis, Mont.,, Aug. 4.—Tha electrolytic smeiters of the Boston and Montana company of the Amalga- mated Copper company have closed down as the result of a strike of the smeltermen following the refusal of Superintendent Whecler to recogni a commitice of the and Smel men’s union, which demanded that 1 smeltermen be rein- e been tacked up fag all smelter- men that a strike is on. ots have been posted to prevent any workme from entering. The strike affects 3,000 men in Casccada county employed in the smelters, railroads, coal com- panies and Gther industries connected .with the AmAlgamated. About 3,000 wminers in tlec Boston and Montana mines in Putte are affected, as it will be necessary to close down the prop- | erty if the shutdown continues. The Boston and Montana electrolytic smelters are the largest in the world, handling about 4,000 tons of ore daily from the Butte mines. Militia to Guard Negroes. Frankfort, Ky., Aug. 4—The Frank- | fort and Barbourville companies of state guards have been ordered by Governor Beckham to Barbourville Tuesday next to protect, during their , trial, the negro and negress charged with the murder of Mrs. Broughton last week. A Gatling gun will be taken along on the trip. Open Shop the Issue. Des Moines, Aug. 4.—Fifty litho- graphers went on a strike here in accordance with the order of the Na- tional Lithographers’ association. The eight-hour day has already been grant- ed in Des Moines and the local strike is entirely on the question of closed or open shop. Admiral Dies of His Wounds. St. Petersburg, Aug. 4—Rear Ad- miral Beclemscheff, who recelved miany wounds in the fighting at Cron: stadt, died during the night. When the sailors mutinied the admiral im- mediately went out with his staff, heedless of warning, and entered the barracks. Within a few seconds he and two captains were shot down, Troops Guard Railroad Line. 8t. Petersburg, Aug. 4—All the sta. tlons on the Finnish railway between St. Peteraburg and Viborg, as well as the entire coast which the line skirts, have been occupled by troops. ———— e o o Nearly $500,000- is in- volved. i The decision is an affirmation of the ruling of the St. Louis county district court in the case of the suit of the state against the Shevlin-Carpenter company of Minneapclis and upholds the right of the state to collect treble damagés where deliberate trespass is | proven. It may.even include impris-! onment. % | The case in question involves only ' a bateh of timber valued at $17,108.14, but when it is understood that the company must not only pay three stimes this amount and farfeit the orig- Inal value of the timber which it paid to former State Auditor Dunn the, scope of the victory can be appre-' ciated. Then there are a dozen other cases involving sums just as big and even larger awaiting the decision just handed -down and their status is ac- cordingly settled. They must pay and in the amounts designated by the tim- ber board. Indirectly it is a rejection of the compromise settlements made by former State Auditor Dunn, which . he said were for the best interests of the state, and a viclory for former Public Examiner Johnson, who at- tacked them on the ground that they were not sanctioned by the law. CRITICISES PILGRIM FATHERS. Address of John D. Long Excites His Hearers, | Plymouth, Mass., Aug. 4—John D. Long, former secretary of the navy, ! stirred up a lot of excitement here at the tercentenary of the First church ! of Plymouth by his adress on the Pil- | grim fathers, “The saints in Plymouth colony can be counted on the fingers,” he said. ' “Some of the very elect were false to . their trust and used their positions to } feather their own nests—falser to the j trust than any president of a modern munity; drunkenness, bickering, slan- der, licentiousness and even crimes i against nature were common. All this {took place in a community of very limited numbers. No New England . village of -.today need fear comparison with the early Plymouth colony.” HELD TO BE INVALID, Law Limiting Hours of Labor of Wo- New York, Aug. 4—The state law of New York restricting the labor by i women and children to ten hours a ' day and sixty hours a week in a fac- .tory was declared during the day by Justice Olmstead in a decision handed ! down in the court of special sessions to be “an unwarranted invasion of constitutional = rights.” The ruling was concurred in by Justices McKean and Deuel.” Judge Olmstead declared that the law was class legislation.
