o e A - — i ADDITIONAL LOGAL MATTER EXTEND THE BOUNDARIES OF THE FOREST RESERVE Chief Forester Pinchot Gets Together With ‘‘Captain” Bernard on Cass Lake's Jonah. Washington, March 21.—Chief of the bureau of forestry, Gitford Pinchot, yesterday sent letters to Senator Kuute Nelson, Moses E Clapp and Congressman James A. Tawney relative to the nationai forest reserve in North- ern Minnesota. The letters are the result of the series of conferences which Captain A. G. Bernard, repre senting the Cass Lake com- wercial club, has bad with Mr. Pinchot for the purpose of ad- judicating the forest reserve con- troversy in northern Minnesota. Mr. Pinchot in his letter to the senators and Congressman Tawney, says: “I have carefully considered the suggestions of Captain A. G- Bernard concerning the final ad- justment of the national forest quest'on in Minnesota incunnec- tion with the Morris act of 1902. I undersand that it proposed that boundary lines of the present forest reserve known as the Black lines (s shown on the map attached) shall be modified even further than provided in the Twaney bill of the last congress by ranning the said line south Tt is said that the indictments. i McGraw wiitnessed the crime or received a confession and . fled fearing arrest as plice ‘‘Hiver since then he has avoid- ed detection by the officers and came here from Butler county, Iowa, two weeks ago. “The grand jury of Bemidji met yest:rday to reconsider the case and Sheriff Bailey and Mec- Graw left last night for that place. “The officers feel that with McGraws testimony and other new evidence that conviction is probable.” THAW SUFFERING FROM A FORM OF PARANOIA an accom- Seven Alienists Employed by District Attorney Jerome Swear as to Condition of Thaw. New York, March 21.—(Spe- cial to Pioneer.)—Seven alienists employed by District Attorney Jerome in the Thaw case today signed affidavits for presentation to Judge Fi'zgerald in argu- ment this afiernoon for the ap- pointment of a commission 1n lunacy to examine Thaw. Six alienists in their affidavits declared Thaw was suffering from aform «f paranoia; that he should not be discharged from custody; that if discharged, he would be dangerous to public peace and safety, and thatitis along the division line between ranges 29 and 30 west to the northern boundary of township 144, north thence west, to the suggested edge of the forest reserve. “] understand that Captain Bernard and others ‘confidently believe that the Tawney bill so amended would be satisfactory to the people of Cass Lake and the vicinity and would receive the support of the entire Minne- sota delegation in congress. “I also understand that if the Tawney bill should become a law with this new boundary that the people of the vicinity of the new forest reserve will lend all their moral support possible to the maintenance of a national forest ~nd that they will advocate some :quitable method of making the ttate lands a part of the national orest reserve after the said lands 1ave been cut over, and that in he meantime they would endeav- ir t> have a forest service to nanage and protect the timber m state swamp lands within the 18w boundary. “Such an arrangement taken 18 a whole would be entirely sat sfactory to me, but of course it would b» useless and unfair to Mr. Tawney to reopen the ques- tion unless with a united effort to put the whole plan through “(Signed): “GIFFORD PINCHOT, Forester,” Devine Logged Some. Mark Devine, the logger, re- turned to his home at Blackduck last evening, after having spent yesterday in the city. Mr. Devine has completed his logging for this winter.

DEPUTY SHERIFF GETS VERY MATERIAL WITNESS Allen McGraw, Arrested in lowa, Said to Know Much Concerning Dahl Murder. The following telegram, which appeared in the Minneapolis Tribune of yesterday, would in- dicate that the county attorney is leaving no stone unturned in his efforts to fasten the Dahl murders on Paul Fournier and James Wesley. Just how much there may be in the story the Pioneer 1s not prepared to say, but we reproduce the telegram in full: ‘“Waterloo, Iowa, March 20.— (Special ) — After a search of three years Sheriff Bailey of Be- midji, Minn., yesterday located Allen McGraw, said to be the star witness in the case of “Shorty” Wesley and Paul Fournier, under arrest for the second time, at Bemidji. —They are suspected of the murder of N. O. Dahl and daughter in April, 1904, whose bodies were found three months later in deep weeds in Beltrami county, where they had homesteads. Mr. Dahl was shot in the head and his body hid under the root of an upturned tree. The daugh- ter was shot and her head crushed. “Fournier and Wesley lived on a neighborirg homestead and the theory of the state is that the crime was committed for the money that was secreted on the Dahl claim. “At the first trial the lack of evidence caused the nolling of reasonably certain that he will net recover. The seventh alien- ist, Dr. Hirsch, agrees with his colleagues, except he declared that Thaw cannot possibly re- cover. The affidavits are signed by Doctors Flint, Mabon, Mec- Donald, Pritchard, Ferris, Hirsch and Diefondorf. Musical Tonight.

P mpE (ABORERS FOR CANAL SPAIN AND ITALY OBJECT TO IM- MIGRANTS GOING TO ISTH- MUS OF PANAMA. SOVERNMENT AGENT NOW IN EUROPE HAS SECURED THOUSANDS OF WORKMEN DESPITE OFFI. CIAL OPPOSITION. Parfs, March 21.—Leroy Parke, an agent of the war department, has been in Europe for some months soliciting foreign labor for-work on the Panama canal and although he has encoun- tered much opposition he has suc- ceeded, since October, in shipping 4,500 men, nearly all Spaniards or Itallans, and they:are now going for- ward at the rate of about 500 a month. They are being sent from three ports, Vigo, Spain, and Bordeaux and Sainte Nazalre, France, by the Spanish and French lines. They are given free .| transportation, repayment to be out of their earnings at the rate of $4 a month, and are guaranteed pay at the |3 rate of 20 cents an hour, with every- thing In the shape of lodgings, med- fcal attendance, etc., on the isthmus found,’ except: the meals, which are paid for at the rate of 20 cents a meal, or 60 cents a'day. Notwithstanding the inducements offered both the Spanish and .Italian governments were opposed to allow- ing their subjects to go to Panama. The objections of the Spanish govern- ment were in a measure overcome and with the advent of the new Maura Conservative cabinet there was still less hostility, but on the other hand a sudden agitation has grown up in Spanish commercial circles against emigration in general on the ground that it is draining the country of la- bor, The Italdan government has re- mained steadily hostile and formal notices warning Italian laborers not to go to the isthmus were placarded throughout the country. Nevertheless, many Italians attracted by the offer of work crossed the frontier and left from French ports. SELIGMAN SEES ROOSEVELT. New York Banker Visits White House by Invitation. ‘Washington, March 21.—Isaac N. Seligman of the banking house of J. W. Seligman & Co. of New York had a talk with the president during the day. Mr. Seligman is on his way home from the South and is stopping for a few days in Washington. He came to the White House at the invi- tation of the president and remained with him for some time. As he came out of the president’s office he admit- ted having discussed the financial and rallroad situation with Mr. Roosevelt and added: A “The president will do anything he can in order to allay any kind of feel- ing of want of confidence. He does not see, however, what he can do. He 18 not responsible for the action of the state legislatures in their attitude to- ward the railroads and regrets action of this kind. The president is willing to meet the raflroads half way.” g Mr. Seligman added that the pres- ident had the greatest confidence in Mr. Cortelyou, his secretary of the treasury, and would not interfere with him in the operations of the treasury department. MAY GET BEYOND CONTROL. Roumanian Revolt Becoming a Serl. ous Affair. Vienna, March 21.—The Austrian minister of the interior, Prince Con- rad Hohenlohe-Schillingsfuerst, has ordered a considerable increase in the number of gendarmes on the Rou- manian frontier in order to prevent riotous Roumanian peasants from crossing and starting disturbances in Austrlan territory. The opinion is expressed at the for- elgn office that unless the Roumanian government promptly suppresses the agrarian and revolutionary movement in Roumania it is lable to soon get beyond control. It is belleved here that Russian agents are responsible for the recent anti-Jewish riots, thefr object being to inflame the anti- Semites in the southern provinces of Russia. . A dispatch from Itzkani, on the frontler, says that 1,500 Jews, old men, women and children, who were ex- pelled from Burduzheni, Roumania, after their houses had been plundered, are now camped near Itzkani in the open alr. - The entertainment given at the Salvation Army hall last night GRAND REDUCTION | | AND Clearance Sale i Beginning Friday, March 22 and Ending April Ist.
