i ) < METCALF IS IRRITATED Deprecates Warlike Interpretation of Naval Movement. SIMPLY A PRACTICE CRUISE 8ays There Is No Justification for Re- Ports That the Atlantic Fleet Is Goling to the Pacific for the Purpose of Overaweing the Japanese. Oaklang, Cal, July 10.—Secretary ot the Navy Metcalt deprecates the war- lke nspect that has been given the order for the cruise of the great bat- tleship squadron from the Atlantic to the Paclfic coast. The secretary sald that the proposed movement was that of a practice crulse and that the fleet would not be kept in the Pacifio per- manently. He declared that the length of time that the fleet would remain on the Western side of the continent had not yat been decided. With considerable emphasis the secretary voiced his opinion that the warllke Interpretation that had been made In connection with the fleet's movement was not justified by the facts. In fact the widely published reports suggesting hostile preparations seem to be a source of irritation for tho head of the navy. He sald: “The fleet which will be moved from the Atlantio to the Paclfic this- winter 1s coming to this side merely on a practice crulse. The fleet will gonsist of sixteen or more vessels, not fore than twenty, and its stay on this side will not be permanent. Of course the fleet will not come ‘here, turn sround and go right back again. How fong it will remain in the Pacific will be.determined at the proper time. “There s no sound reason or excuse for all this talk by the public and through the press of an attempt to overawe the Japanese by a warlike naval display. I do not belleve that the newspapers are justified or right In so construing and coloring the crulse of the warships to the Pacific. “Every year the Atlantic fleet has been sent on a crulse. Last year it it will order the fleet to the Pacific. The long crulse will give the men and the vessels a thorough test and im- prove the efficiency of both.” — a ENGULFED WHEN DAM BROKE | credit from the State Game and Fish Commission of Minnesota for his efforts to prolong the life of one of the state’s inhabitants of the forest—a big bull moose.

Lowry, superintendent of the northern division of the Great Northern railway, and E. A, Mills, master carpenter of the G. N. for the northern division, were visitors in the city last evening. The gentlemen were here for the purpose of inspecting the condition of the Lake Irving spur, which ex- tends from the main line of the G.

Bank Cashier at Northome Resigns. Northome, Minn., July 10.—(Spe- cial to the Pioneer.)—John E. Cow- an, who has been cashier of the First State Bank of Northome ever since that institution first opened its doors to the public here four years ago, has tendered his resignation and the same has been accepted. Mr. Cowan’s successor, William T. Barry, formerly connected with the First State Bank of Deer. River, is expected to arrive here this evening to take up his duties as cashier of the local bank.

NUMBER €7 BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 10, 1907 S eena s —— RED LAKE INDIANS WILL PLAY BALL HERE SUNDAY Some Good Players Among Them--s Notes of Players Well Known Here. — | 4 B The Red Lake Indians will prob- ably play a game of baseball in this city Sunday against the Bemidji team, arrangements for the game having beén about concluded. The reds on the diminished reservation to the north of - Bemidji have among their number some very speedy ball players, and if the best of these are gotten together, they can make any semi-professional team in the north country “go some” to win a game from them. Among the players available at the Red Lake agency are Omer Gra- velle, for several years first baseman and pitcher of the famous old White Earth Indian team of 1900, which was well nigh unbeataf)le; Simon Fairbanks, another White Earth ball tosser who plays a good game, and several other lesser lights who are of the latter-day school and who learned the game while attending the various Indian schools about the country, Omer Gravelle is captain of the red team and he will%bring the strongest bunch he can get together. Emerson, the Indian pitcher who did such good work for the Bemidji ball team three years ago, is now a member of the Red Lake Falls team, He is apparently as good as ever. Recently, he and Eddie Carl (also a member of Bemidji’s 1904 team) engaged in a pitchers’ duel in a game between Red Lake Falls and Thief River Falls. The contest went 17 ionnings, and Theif River Falls got the long end of the score (3 ta 2), Carl winning his own game by a corking single in the last inning. Benny Holstein, the White Earth Indian catcher who was a member of the Bemidji team of 1905 and 1906, is now playing with Warren. He is catching a great game and hitting the ball regularly. “Tony” Hoover, second baseman for last year’s Bemidji team, has gone to Minot, where he is playing with C. F. Learnard’s independent ball team. The Akeley ball team is very chesty, this year. The aggregation down the line will not play in Be- midji unless given expenses and a purse of fifty dollars on the side, a “pound of flesh” for their appearance on the field.

CAUSED T Further Testimony Covering Ex- plosion at Bradley Home, ALL CONTRADICT ORCHARD Depositions of Witnesses Taken at 8an Francisco Read at the Haywood Trial—Cook Emphatically Denies Going to Theater With Orchard. Boise, Ida., July 10.—Practically the entire day in the Haywood case was taken up with the reading of San Francisco depositions _covering the alleged attempt to assassinate Fred Bradley in that clty in November, 1904, The day began with a continuance of the testimony of J. B. Rellly, who lived near the Bradley apartments in ‘Washington street, Rellly declared | he had passed the apartment house but a few minutes before the explo- slon and saw a Japanese servant clearing the stoop and vestibule. He did not belleve it was within the range of possibility for any ome to have placed a bomb there in the manner indicated by Orchard in the time which elapsed between his passing and the report of the explosion. Or- chard testified that after placing the bomb he hoarded a street car and got out of hearingbefore the explosion occurred. The next ‘deposition taken up was that of Mrs. Charles Pickard, who, as Mrs. Crow, had been employed by the Bradleys as cook. She told of having smelled gas in the house for several days prior to the explosion and had called up the gas company to complain of it. Mrs. Crow denled absolutely that she had gone to the theater with Orchard as he testified. She declared that he told a falsehood when he tes- tified to that effect.” Explosion Was Taerrific. Attorney Darrow next took up the deposition of Mrs. Lucy A. Cummings, who occupied one of the flats in the building with the Bradleys. She de- scribed the explosion as the most ter- rible noise she had ever heard in her life. The witness and her husband “It's gas.” Gas had ‘been leaking about the house for some time. Asked it she heard one or two explosions Mrs. Cummings sald there was just “one big noise.” Rushing into the hall she smelled gas, but no powder. The wit- ness did not know, however, whether exploding dynamite smelled like or- dinary powder or not. John J, Eckelman, & member of the San - Francisco fire department who was with the company which respond- ed to a fire alarm following the explo- sion at the Bradley house, told of smelling gas strongly when be arrived at the scene. Several other members of the fire department gave testimony similar to that of Eckelman. Joseph Vincent de la Veaga, an at- torney of San Francisco, ‘'who occu- pled the apartment directly under the Bradleys, told in his deposition of having smelled gas in the vestibule of the house six or seven days prior to the explosion. .
