HS MIIII] UNBALANGED; WORRIED OVER BlISIIIESS John Fitzgerald Brought from Baudette by Sheriff Bailey.—Hearing Is Postponed. John Fitzgerald, a business man of Baudette, was brought to this city last night by Sheriff Thomas Bailey and was brought before Judge of Probate Clark, for examination as to his sanity. It was decided to adjourn final action on his case for thirty days, in order that developments may be watched. . Fitzgerald has been worrying for some time over financial affairs to such an extent that his mind is un- balanced, to a considerable degree. The delay in his case was taken in order to note whether his mind be- comes affected to the extent that it will be necessary to send him to the asylum, in which case he will be committed. In the meantime, Fitzgerald will be kept at the county voor farm. ““North Star” Laid Up. While I was coming through the narrows between Lake Irving and Lake Bemidji, with the “North Star,” the paddle wheel and top of the boat were damaged to such an extent that I have been compelled to lay up the boat until tomorrow morning. ' The “North Star” will be ready for business early on the morning of the Fourth. DEATH OF GOTHEHUE PROBABLY AN ACGIDENT Resident of North Country Authority for Statement that Gothehue Was Not Murdered. Sheriff Thomas Bailey, who came in last night from Baudette country, states that he was informed by a man living near Baudette, that it was generally considered that the reported murder of Peter Gothehue was an accident, and that Deputy Coroner Lahr would so find when he| arrived at Baudette. From the reports that were sent to County Attorney Funkley, the inference was naturally drawn that a murder had been committed. Mr. Lahr should have reached Baudette today, and his official re- port on the case will probably be received tomorrow. To the Public. I have resigned the management of the local baseball team, effective this date. —Adam E. Otto, SUB-AGENT KILLS. APAGHE Outbreak of Indians Fqired‘fit Fort McDowell, Ariz.

He called upon Sherift Hayden at Phoenix for protection and Hayden with five depu- tles hus gone to the reservation. TO PROVE HIS INNOCENCE Court Says Defendant Should Have Called Certain Witnesses. ‘Washington, July \—In refusing some of the prayers in behalf of Yor- mer Assoclate Statisticlan Holmes of the department of agriculture for cer- tain Instructions to the jury in his trial on the charge of betraying the secrets of the department Judge Staf- ford took occasion to say that he would Instruct the jury to the effect that Holmes should have produced Frederick A. Peckham and Moses Haas to testify in bis behalf. They were the two persons in all the world who could testify whether or not the charge of conspiracy was true. If the charge was not true and Holmes’ statement was founded on fact they would not imperll their own freedom in appearing in court and corroborat- ing Holmes’ testimony. If, on the other hand, the charges against him were true they could protect them- selves by refusing to testify on the ground of self-incrimination. POLICE WITNESS SCENE. White Man Strung Up by a Mab at Dalton, Ga. Dalton, Ga., July '—Dock Posey, a middle aged white man, the self-con- fessed assaulter of his nine-year-old stepdaughter, was taken from the ‘Whitefield county Jail here and hanged to a raflroad viaduct in the middle of the city. On the way to the scene of the hanging several policemen were forced to accompany the crowd, which numbered about twenty-five men. Not a shot was fired. Pcsey,.who lived with his family some miles from town, brought the girl here after the crime and accused another man of the as sault. Posey's wife declared the truth, however, and added that he made an attempt to assault his victim’s elder sister a week ago. The victim Is in a serious condition. Bechtel Gets Five Years. Minneapolis, July \ — Willlam Bechtel, convicted of embezzling the funds of the Northwestern National Life Insurance company, has been sentenced to serve five years In the penitentiary at Stillwater.

Burr, former member of the board of public service, who disappeared last March, after having been indicted for accepting a bribe, has surrendered. He had been in-Canada. Later he pleaded guilty. PETECTIVES JOINED " UNION Alltged Methods Used to Disrupt Western Federation of Miners and to Discredit Its Officers Brought to Light by the Correspondence. - Bolse, Tda., July. —The confiden- tial reports upon the miners’ strike in Colorado in 19023-4,- which were taken from the Pinkerton detective agency at Denver by Morris Friedman, are being read to the jury that is trying ‘Willlam D. Haywood upon the charge that he murdered Frank Steunenberg. Friedman was recalled to the stand when the trial was resumed and at once identified several more of th¥ documents which he took. The prosecution interposed no ob- Jection to any of the documents and Attorney Clarence Darrow at once began reading them to the jury. Friedman identified letters written by Detective McParland, but the de- fense did not offer them in-evidence and declined to even- permit counsel for the state to see them. The first of the detective reports showed that an operative named A. W. Gratias handled the federation’s relief funds at Globeville during the strike and that Gratlas cut- down the relief in order to create sentimeut against Haywood. With the opening of the trial=Mr. Friedman was recalled to the stand. He spent the first half hour of his stay on the stand in identifying many reports from secret operatives, of ‘which, he says, he made copies while in the Pinkerton office. He also iden- tified three letters said to have been written by James McParland, super- intendent of the Pinkertons in the ‘West, and the records of several op- eratlves. The prosecution offered no objection to the introduction of the reports of the detectives in evidence and many- of them were read to the jury by Mr. Darrow. The first report read was from op- erative No. 42, A. W. Gratias. It was dated Denver, June 29, 1904. Gratias was In charge of distributing relief to the striking miners. In his report he sald some of the men were asking if he thought the strike would be set- tled soon. “I told them,” he wrote, “that T heard nothing of a settlement or anything that would indlcate a set- tlement; that the strike would last a long time yet and also that I be- leyed the union would have to give up by next fall if we did not win by that time. WIll Carry Out Instructions. “Now that the convention is over I will again take personal charge of the relief work and will carry out the in- structions I received from Mr. Caiy (Pinkerton manager) about a -wee: ago in regard to putting down the re- Hef as much as possible so as to cause dissatisfaction and get the men against the union. I will put the blame for not giving the men more rellef as much as I can on W. D. Hay- wood by saying that I carried out his instructions.” The next two reports read from op- erative No. 42 were detailed accounts of the proceedifigs at the Western Federation of Miners’ convention, which he attended as a delegate. There was nothing out of the ordinary in the proceedings and no speeches- of an inflammatory character. Mr. Darrow next read reports from Philander P. Bailey, known as oper- atlve No. 8. They were dated from YVictor, Colo., during the Cripple Creek orsjssiorelvevelvlalsicld The India.ns Are in Camp at Red Lake Agency GO SEE THEM Sunday, July Seventh & ‘union meeting. oped _hothing agalnst the law and or- der as had ‘been mentioned by the speakers or interviews with members of the union. Following Balley's re- ports came the report of an-operative named ' Raimer in Cripple Creek. Raimer declared under date of Sept. 9, 1808, that the miners claimed to there was a break in the Mine Own: “| era’ asgociation the operative thought their claims were doubtful. Raimer reported that he heard no radical talk or threats from the miners and that each miner acted as a committee of one to stop all disputes and disturb- ances, The soldiers and miners seemed to be growing quiet and friendly and many of the soldiers expressed sym- pathy for the strikers. Mr. Darrow next read two lengthy reports from Pinkerton Operative J. N. Londoner, now assistant captain in the Denver office. The, reports were from Victor, Colo,, at the time of the Independence depot explosion, June 6, 1904. = Londoner told graphically of the intense excitement prevailing in the Cripple Creek district at this time and - the threats made ngalnst the union. “1 was made a deputy as soon as I showed my face,” Londoner wrote, “and was told to kill any union man or sympathizer who spoke to me.” The operative wrote that at the #me’ of his writing there was strong talk of taking the leaders of the union from the “bullpen” and hanging them. The oltizens demanded the resigna- The letters devel” have all the best of it, but unless: Plan to_ Boycott American Goods Being Serionsly Considered, DANGER POINT NEAR AT HAND Taklo Dispatch Says Although War Is 2'Not Dreamed of the Mutual Feel- Ing of Good WIll and Friendship s Likely to Be Alienated. Tokio, July )—The Impression fs growing here that the antt- -Japanese feellng 'and demonstrations 1n -San Francisco are the outcome of a deeply laid plan based upon racial hatred and the fl:ent developments- apparently support this impression. The news- papers here which had special corre- spondents of American nationality in San Francisco have ceased to receive news from them. Neo explanation was offered for the discontinuance of news dispatches, but the impression here/is thht pressure was brought to bear upon the correspondents in San Fran- ciseo not to serve the Japanese papers. The. fear is expressed that the danger point will soon be reached. Although war is not dreamed of the mutual feelings of good will and friendship will be serlously allenated if prompt tion of Sheriff Robertson. He de- clined. They got a rope and put a noose about his neck. He was glven five minutes in which to decide. Rob- ertson looked at the mob. He_then sat down and wrote his resignation. WHOLESALE FRAUD ALLEGED Offlcials of St. Paul Commission Com- pany Arrested. St. Paul July ~.—Federal warrants have been issued for the arrest of seven officers of the Wisconsin Stock and Grain company. The charge is using the United States mails to de- fraud. The accused officials are L., A. Wood, George W. Wood, Clinton D. Phelps, Martin P. Quigley, Charles T ‘Kely, Bruce D. Tuttle and H. P. Erns- berger. L. A. Wood, George W. Wood, Quig- ley and Tuttle were arraigned before Umted States Commissioner Spencer. THe two latter were released on a $3,000 bond, while the Woods put up $5,000 bail aplece. Phelps, Kelly and Ernsberger, the latter residing in Wisconsin, were not arrested. Postoffice Inspector W. M. Ketcham of Chicago, who was detailed- on the case six mpnths ago, has found sixty- five complainants, who assert that the methods of the company are not as represented. The transactions of these complainants amount to $342,- 000. They claim their trades were “bucketed” and not placed legitimate- ly on a board of trade, The government authorities charge that the defendants conspired to de- celve those with whom they were dealing and-that they used the United States mails for this purpose. State- ments sent to the complainants, pur- porting to be memoranda of actual rales of stock and grain, say the cus- tomers, were not genuine and there had been no actual sales of stock. ITALIANS WILL ORGANIZE. National Union of Rallroad Laborers Proposed. New York, June \—Following the strike of 500 Italian trackmen on the New York Central railroad a move: ment has been started to organize the 200,000 or more Italian railroad em. ployes all over the United States and bring about a higher scale of wages. At the head of this movement is Michael Sylvester of Chicago, who is here managing the strike against the New York Central. Without a word to thefr employers the 500 trackmen quit their jobs in the Grand Central yards. The men want a new wage scale of 20 cents an hour for a day of ten hours. They have been receiving $1.60 a day. L Efforts have been made by the rail- road officials to 6btain Italian strike- breakers to fill the places of the strik- ers, but without success. gt,rlke Leader Sylvester has ad- dressed many meetings of the New York Central employes. He says that the Itallan trackmen throughout the country are ready for organization and that a national union will soon be formed, with branches in almost ev- ery clty of pmmlnence in the United States. TWO0 MEN MEET-DEATH. Terrific Explosion of Ten-Ton Steel Cylinder. Schenectady, N. -Y, July '—A measures are not taken to allay the general indignation Lere against the latest discrimination in San Fran- clsco, which, according to Japanese contention, is a flagrant violation of treaty rights. Apparently certain measures. of re- taliation are seriously being contem- plated by influential men in political and business circles. Just what action will be taken has not yet developed, but a boycott against American goods, it 1s believed, will certainly be one of the steps taken. POLICE GUARD ALL WAGONS Effort to Break Ice Drivers’ Strike at New. York. New York, July l—Police reserves were called to quell several street dis- orders when the American Ice com- pany made an effort to break the strike of the delivery wagon drivers. When two wagons driven by strikebreakers drove from the company’s pier on the East river a crowd of men set upon the drivers, using clubs and bricks. The police charged the crowd, which finally fell back. Two policemen were then assigned to each wagon. More trouble occurred on Avenue C, when a score of men set upon a driver, but were beaten off by the police. = One hundred and fifty police reserves have been detailed to prevent diSorder aris- ing at the company’s pler, where the ice is discharged from the boats. The ice company .declares that the strike is broken and that it can em- ploy all the men needed to fill posi- tions of the strikers. The-company says there is not a sign of an ice fam- ine. EVACUATION OF CUBA. Secretary ~Taft Throws Additional Light on His Plans. Washington, July !—Secretary Taft has.thrown some additional light upon his plans respecting the American evacuation of Cuba by sending the following cablegram to Governor Ma- goon at Havana: “I am in receipt of a telegram from General Leonidas Castillo as to some- thing I have sald with reference to the restoration of Cuba to the republic. The plan_ for the devolution of the government of the island upon the person to be selected by a fair elec- tlon as outlined in my letter to you has not been changed in the slightest. The question of the time within which that can fie worked, as to the time in which' tife.cénsus. can be taken, is a mere matter of opinfon. Pleaae advise General Cas- tillo accordingly.” LITTLE INTEREST/SH(;WN. § Registration in the Philippines Proves a Disappointment. Manila, July .—The result of reg- istration for the coming election has proved a disappbintmient. When' the books were closed only 7,300 voters, including - 800 Americans, had regis- tered. The native leaders anticipated that there would be about 19,000 yotets, but the majority of the men in the great crowds which thronged the booths upon the. first day they were opened apparently lost interest and failed to qu CONSPIRACY ALLEGED.

Bome of the reductions are as much as 50 per cent and the new deal is in harmony -with the reduction effective In Minnesota some time ago. HEALTH DEPARTMENT ACTS Nonunion Men Removing New York’s Accumulated Garbage. New York, July .—Scores of carts manned by nonunion men and volup- teers from the health department have tackled the mounds ‘of garbage and refuse that has accumulated in the streets since the strike of the city’s drivers began several days ago. Conditions in some parts of the East Side can be imagined when it is said that the accumulations have actually made streets impassable. The air is 80 befouled that residents have had! to keep their windows closed, a condi- tion that adds to the discomfort in the prevailing hot spell. Several doc- tors who have visited the districts where conditions are the worst say that a great deal of sickness and many deaths must necessarily follow as a consequence of this disastrous strike. The health department, which has been called upon by the mayor in this emergency to prevent pestilence, is moving with vigor. Dr. Walter Ben- sel, who has been put in charge of the work with full power, personally di- rected the onslaught on the garbage heaps. Many Estates Devastated. Tula, .Russia, July 1.—The incen- diary movement among the peasanis In revenge for the dissolution of par- - llament has assumed serious propor- tlons. Six large estates, including those of Count Vladimir Bobrinsky, president of the Genstitutional Dema- cratic party, and Princess Vjadbola- kaya were_devastated by incendiary fires in one day. The losses were very heavy. Urge Early Trial of Thaw. New York, July 1.—Counsel for Harry K.
