A few of the present team will be retained, but a majority of the boys are not in the class de- manded by the local fans, although they do quite well in their class. Akeley fans will support a good team, but are out with their “ham- mers” when it comes to bum ball playing. Long Prairie is especially requested to play a return date in the near future. The team will play at Cass Lake the Fourth.” All four of the above named are Indians and known in Bemidji. Carl, Emerson and Hallett have played with local teams in the past, and Weaver has been seen here several times, The boys are fast players and will greatly strengthen the Akeley bunch. Summers is again playing with the Duluth “White Sox,” after hav- ing been suspended for indifferent playing. Summers has an uncon- trollable temper, and it is said that his suspension was due to his hav- ing thrown a ball into the grand stand while in a game, his rage re- sulting from “booting” a grounder. Summers is a very fast player, but his fits of anger render him useless at times. Leigh LeGore, who recently went to Minot to pitch for the ball team at that place, did not start out very auspiciously. He was batted very freely the first two games, but will probably improve from now on. Leigh isa great hot-weather “slab- biSt.” “Tis said that “Red”Freeman, the great southpaw of Hibbing, has not been showing good form so far this season, and has not pitched good ball. I nothing has happened to Freeman’s left wing, he will be mow- ing down opposition batsmen as regular as ever before long. Ed. Ferrell, the old Little Falls pitcher who played with the Cass Lake team a portion of last year, is now a member of the crack Leeds, N. D, team, and is doing great work. He is said to have a world of speed this year, and has already officiated on the slab in two games where the opponents were shut out. Louis Roy, who has been playing with the Duluth White Sox in the Northern-Copper Country League, and who has been in Bemidji visit- .ing for several days, left last night for Devils Lake, where he will play with the local team of that place. Roy is one of the very best semi- professional players in Minnesota. He is steady, has a good head, is “a reliable hitter and thoroughly under- stands the game: . Local “fans” re- gret that he could not be retained to play with Bemidji. Beat His Wife; Forty Days. Fred Robertson, We ?ub“lh the formulas of ‘all our proparations, Oa Grar”, Forks Bay. £, V. Murray of East Grand Forks + came out to the bay to look over his property, yesterday, and catch a few fish. L. B. Holmes returned to Grand Forks last night after getting his family comfortably settled at Lake Side. M. Titus and family of Minto came last night and went to Lake Side today, where they will remain all summer. Mrs. M. Sullivan and son of East [Grand Forks came yesterday to oc- cupy the cottage with her sister, Mrs. LaValley. Harry Bliler Goes West. Harry Bliler, who has been in the employ of the Forestry Service of the U. S. government for the past two years, was in the city today. Mr. Bliler has been ordered to go out west, with an indefinite location or point of destination, and-left this noon for St. Paul, having been in- formed that he would find complete instructions relative to what was wanted of him contained in a letter which would be delivered to him at the Merchants hotel in the capital city. Fished With “Walt” Harris. J. E. McGrath, the traveling sales- man for the B. Heller Liquor Co., of Minneapolis, is im this vicinity on his regular tour among the local (trade. John tells of a fishing “bee” which he and his wife had at Fox- boro, Wis.,, with G. W. Harris (yclept ahe “Black Diamond”) who is running what John declares is a “Bungalo” on a fine trout stream near Foxboro. John says he had the time of his life and that Walt is certainly enjoying himself over in the Badger state. Watertank Collapsed. When the M. & I. nortk-bound passenger train yesterday afternoon stopped at Backus to take water, the tank which has been used there for several years, collapsed and fell to pieces, a large amount of water flooding over the tracks and nearly washing away the ties and rails. Fortunately no great amount of dam- age was, done, and the tank will probably be replaced in a few days. Park Rapids Team Here Sunday. Mantager A. E. Otto, of the local baseball team announces that he has secured the Park Rapids team for Sunday. The team at the Rap- ids is a good one and some interest- ing ball playing is looked forward to by the local fans. Likes Rural Life. John Vogler is in the eity today from his claim near Nebish. Mr. Vogler now has all his, “folks” at the claim,including his: mother, wife, son, daughter—and “Five Spot,”— and John is enjpying rural life, immensely.

New Jersey Girl Drowned Under Pe- cullar Circumstances. Bridgeton, N. J., June 20.—Miss Mary Vennell of this city lost her life in Sunset lake under such peculiar circumstances as to cause the police to start a thorough investigation. Shortly before 10 p. m. the girl start- ed with George Evans of this place for a row on the lake in a steel non- sinkable boat. Shortly afterward the boat was found filled with water, while nearby was floating a hat. The boat was towed ashore and the police notified. A policeman was sent to Evans’ home, where he was found in bed. His wet clothing was hanging over a chair. He was taken to the lake and when asked for an explanation of the aftair said that he hired a boat and started for a row with Miss Vennell. When near a place called Piney point the girl wanted te row and in changing their positions the boat sank under them. Evans said he had great diffi- culty in freeing himself from his com- panion, who, he said, was screaming for help, while she held him tightly about the neck. They had gone down twice, Evans said, when he freed him- self and swam ashore. He ran all the ‘way home and did not tell any one of the drowning of the girl. Her body was found in four feet of water. The body showed several bruises and there are cuts on the face. MOTIVE IS A MYSTERY. Wealthy New Yorker Murdered on His Own Grounds. New York, June 20.—A reward of $5,000 has been offered for the arrest and conviction of the two men who murdered Julius T. Rosenheimer, pres- Ident of the London Needle company, at his home in Pelham. Two sus- pleious persons have been arrested, but they are not believed to have had enything to do with the murder. Rosenheimer was struck down by two men while walking in a secluded path i{n his own grounds. - It is believed the weapon used was a small sledge ham- mer. The motive is not known. Mrs. Rosenheimer fainted upon seeing the fatal blow struck and has been un- able to give any lucid account of the events preceding the assault or ac- curate description of the murderers. Wedded in Bandages. ‘Wadhington, June 20.—The wedding of Miss Maud Vera Hanna, daughter of the late Joseph H. Hanna of Cin- cinuati, and Captain Horace Fairfax Morseby Browne of the British army took place during the day in spite of the fact that both of the principals wore bandages as the result of an automobile accident in Rock Creek park on Monday last. Explosion of Gas Causes Panic. Chicago, June 20.—An explosion of gas blew up eight sections of the stone sidewalk in front of the Dearborn hotel, causing a panic among the guests and injuring several persons. Guests ran through the corridors screaming and climbed down the fire escapes. Three firemen in attempting to shut off the gas were overcome and were aurried to the street by com- rades. COMPROMISE OFFER MADE Threatened Strike of Chicago Freight Handlers May Be Averted. Chicago, June 20.—Five thousand freight handlers in the employ of rail- roads in Chicago probably will receive wage advances amounting to $250,000 annually within the next few days. The St. Paul road has offered its men a 7 per cent increase in pay and other roads are expected to follow the ex- ample. The St. Paul employes at a meeting practically accepted the wage offer, although it is less than the advance demanded by the unien, which was about 124 per cent. This makes the second fincrease received by freight handlers within the last year, an ad- vance of 1 cent an hour having been granted by all roads last September. The settlement, if participated in by the other roads, will tend to clarify the local labor situation, since the freight handlers had threatened to strike on July 1 unless a satisfactory agreement was secured. Announcement also ‘was made that all clerks in the freighthouses of the 8t. Paul and Northwestern roads will receive an increase in pay amounting to 10 per cent beginuing July 1. DEVOTED TO ARGUMENTS. Little Progress Made at Day’s Session of Haywood Trial. Boise, Ida., June 20.—The entire session of the Steunenberg murder trial was consumed in hearing argu- ments on the admissibility as evidence of the editorial utterances of the Min- ers’> Magazine, official organ of the Western Federation of Miners; as to Frank Steunenberg and others con- nected with the labor troubles oF the miners. On both sides the arguments were based on the Chicago anarchist cases, the defense contending that un- jder no ecircumstances could the pro- cedure there be made a guide in this case, while the prosecution con: tended that it covered the very propo- sitions involved here. sz LEADERS BEHIND THE BARS btrong Body of Police and Soldiers Capture the Men Wanted, Their De- fenders Being Overawed by the Great Show of Force Made. Paris, June 20.—M. Ferroul, the striking mayor of Narbonne and next to Marcellin Albert the most prom- inent figure in the wine growers’ re- voli in the south of France, was ar- rested at his residence at Narbonne at 5:20°a, m. and hurried away to Mantpellier. Before daybpeak all roads leading te M. Ferroul’s house were held by ouirassiers in strong force. His body- guard of wine growers, among whom were many women, which had been nightly watching over the safety of their leader, was on duty as usual; but when the wine growers found themselves surrounded by the armed forces of the government they did not attempt any ance. - When M. Perroul appeared in custody of a po- lice commissary’ the crowd momen- tarily threatened a rescue, but the mayor begged that there be no conflict with' the troops and he was placed in A carriage and, escorted by 160 cuiras® slers, taken to the railroad station at Narbonne, where a special train was walting, and started immediately for Montpellier. SED Intense excitement prevails at Nar- bonne, but the people thus far have been overawed by the military dis- play. Troops Raid Headquarters. At Argelliers the state and police authorities, escorted by an imposing military force, raided the headquar- ters of the central committee of the wine growers’ organization at day- break with warrants for the arrest of the central committee, but they found that the leader of the movement and several of his lieutenants had already fled. Only thrce committeemen were captured. They were sent to Montpel- lier. Strong forces of troops are scouring the country hunting down the fugi- tives. Their escape was facilitated by the fact that the people burned the bridge at the entrance of Argelliers, making a long detour necessary and delaying the arrival of the govern- ment’s represeniatives. Martial law is in full force in the vinevards of the South and the gov- ernment is hopeful that the display of strength whieh it is making will soon crush the incipient rebellion. Premier Clemenceau remained at the ministry of the interior all night long so as personally to direct the procedure of his representatives on the spot. The telephone lines south- ward have all been seized for the ex- clusive use of the ministry of the in- tericr and they were kept busy all night long. Tater in the day Marcellin Albert, the leader of the wine growers’ move- ment, was arrested and brought here in custody. ‘ ALLEGED SLAYER OF JUDGE Suspect Identified as Sender of Infert nal Machine. Paterson, N. J., June 20.—The mys- terious murder of Justice Robert Cor- tese of this city, who was killed by the explosion of a bomb in his office last winter, may, the police believe, be solved as a result of developments following = another murder. Michael Mohochin was found murdered on Garrelt mountain - last week and Marcellin Albert and the members of [ Joseph Mustel was arrested charged witi the crime. Now Hampton A. Voorhees, a clerk in the United States Express company’s office in Newark, has identified Mustel as the man who delivered to the express office the in- fernal machine which later killed Jus- tice Cortese. Voorhees also identified |2 photograph of Monochin as that of a man who accompanied Mustel when | the infernal machine was delivered.

They visited Minneapolls and they were returping home when the accldent happeried. They were run- ning at' a fast clip along a straight plece of road when Mr. Schroeder fell from the machine. He apparently fell on his head and death was instantane- ous. . Just what caused the accident has not been determined. One theory is that- the machine may have struck some obstruction in the street or have made a sudden lurch, Another theory suggested is-that Mr. Schroeder was stricken : with paralysis or apoplexy. Mr. Hill' said that Mr. Schroeder seemed to be affected in some way. He reached out both hands apparently In an effort to take hold of something and then fell out.

JOHNSON. ‘| doctor of laws was conferred upon Governor Johnson of Minnesota, among others. Governor Johnson delivered the commeéncement oration. He took for his subject “The University Days’ Op- portunity.” AMAZED AT THE SCHEME Interstate Commission and Ex- press Company Bonds. ‘Washington, June 20.—Interstate commerce commissioners were amazed when they read of the Adams Express company’s proposal to issue an inter- est bearing bond dividend of 200 per cent. First, because.the officials of ‘the company thus publlclyf advertise that they have a large surplus on hand, and, second, that they propose to - distribute the surplus in such a manner that future generations will be asked to pay rates high enough to pay the interest charges on dividends. As individuals commissioners talked about the effrontery of the express company officials in making such a proposal. Officially they considered it their duty to say nothing because they will be called upon to pass upon the question of whether rates on express business are too high. T The general view among them s that the express company officials chose the most offensive way to dis- tribute their surplus. As outlined in the press reports they are not pretending to be issuing bonds to make “betterments” or in- crgase the equipment of the company. They are: proposing to distribute a large surplus in such form that, in the future, they will be able to charge rates high enough to pay interest on a long paid interest. The proposal is regarded as more obnoxious than anything Harriman ever did or proposed to do. HEAD OF DEFUNCT FIRM. Prominent Milwaukee Man Placed Un- der Arrest. Milwaukee, June 20.—Ira B. Smith, a member ‘of the wholesale grocery firm of Smith, Thorndike & Brown, which recently went into involuntary bankruptey, has been arrested on a warrant sworn out by Oliver C.
