NEW REGULATIONS MADE BY STATE HEALTH BOARD Secretary Bracken Says the Emptying of Sewage Into Lakes Must Be Stopped. St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 16.—A campaign against the population of waters of Minnesota lakes, with Minnetonka and White Bear espec- ially in view, is to be begun by the state board of health. At the October meeting of the board a series of rules for Minne- tonka, which have already been tentatively drafted, will be revised and formally adopted. The regula- tions relate especially to the dispo- sition of sewage. “At Excelsior on Lake Minne- tonka,” said Dr. H. M. Bracken in discussing the subject as secretary of the state board, “I understand there is a private sewer being dis- charged from the town directly into! the lake. ~ While not far away, on a dock, there is an intake pipe which supplies a number of houses with their supply of water, part of which is used for drinking purposes and considered pure. “At White Bear, the subject is more serious even than at Minne- tonka, as the lake is smaller and its shores proportionately more thickly settled and dotted with houses and cottages. In fact, at some places, three and even four cottages may be counted on a single lake front lot, put just as close together as they can be built and not be one struct- ure, “Just what our regulations rela- tive to lakes will be, I am not at liberty to say until they are revised by the board. It is certain, how- ever, that we prohibit the emptying of sewage into lake waters through- out the state, and insist that sewage from cottages and houses along lake shores be drained into sanitary filter beds and not be allowed to gradually pollute the ground until the lake waters are made impure and full of filth and disease. “If there be no control of inland waters by the state, we have asa result, the general pollution of such waters as population increases. It is a remarkable fact that cause of decease among human beings will be tolerated much longer than a nuisance which is offensive ora cause of disease among animals which results in direct financial loss to their owners. This it demon- strable, for all of us know that a known infected water supply may use indefinitely by a municipality or company. On the other hand, a farmer who thinks his cattle are suffering by drinking impure water, will by injunction promptly restrain the offending parties from further endangering the lives of their stock. “It would seem that the short- sighted policy of ths past in deal- ing with stream and lake water pollution would be so evident to all concerned, as to call forth the need of drastic action at once. It is not a difficult problem to care for sew- age properly, Its discharge without purification into bodies of water is given a scare, some time ago, at the hands of the president of the State Board of Health, relative to the outlet - of the local sewers, Later, the president took the matter under advisement, and noth- ing further has been heard of the matter. Just what action will be taken, under the present ruling of the board is not known by the Pioneer. No Ball Game Yesterday. There was no ball game yesterday on the local grounds, the manage- ment of the Bemidji team failing to secure an opposing team to play. An invitation was extended to North- ome to play here, but the north-line "champions" saw fit to claim they could not come. And, by the way, it would be interesting to see just how much of a contest the Koochiching county fellows could put up against the Be- midji team. At M. E. Church. By special request, Miss Blanche Boyer, sang “The Holy City” at the Methodist church yesterday morn- ing. The song was exceptionally well rendered and delighted the audience. In the evening the pastor delivered a special sermon on amusements and was greeted by a fine congregation. Mr. Hawkseth greatly pleased the audience with his solo.

SAYS THE INDIANS ARE NOT ENTITLED TO LAND Federal Court Decides That Aboriginees Who Leave the Reservation Lose Their Rights. Duluth News-Tribune: “I'm an Indian, he’s an Indian, you’re an Indian, too,” did not appear to strike the ear of Judge Morris in the United States district court with convincing melody yesterday. He decided that a number of applicants for allotments of land were not real aborigines and there- fore not entitled to consideration in the demands they had made. The case at bar was that of Julia B. Oakes, Jane B, Jones, Jane Adams and Cornelius Van Etten, against the United States. All the evidence and arguments had been submitted and the matter was before the court for decision. Judge Morris decided in favor of the government. The decision in this suit will be of widespread interest to hundreds of othersin the northwest who are said to have contemplated institut- ing similar proceedings. The suit just decided was brought some time ago by the plaintiffs, who claim they are Indians—or have Indian blood in their veins—or are entitled to allotment of lands in the White Earth reservation under the provi- sions of an act of Congress. They produced evidence to show that their fathers and mothers were Chippewa Indians, but addmitted that they, themselves, had left the tribe. Some of them had married into anotherrace and they had not sustained relations for many years. Counsel for the claimants insisted this fact did not militate against the inherent right of the claimants when the fact was made clear that they were Indians and as such wards of the nation and entitled to share in the allotments of lands provided. Judge Morris listened to the evi- dence and the arguments with extreme care and took the conten- tion under advisement for some weeks. When it came up for decision yesterday Joel M. Dickie of St. Paul, assistant United States district attor- ney was on hand. The findings of the court were stated with consider- able elaboration. His honor reached the conclusion that while the claim- ants may be Indians they have abandoned the reservation and lived away from it absolutely cutting the tie of tribal relationship for many years and they were not now entitled to any award or allotment of lands. The court’s decision seemed to imply that even if they may be Indians in fact they have lost cast with the government as far as sharing in the lands of the great father. An exception was noted to the ruling of the court and notice of an appeal to the United States court of appeals given by counsel for the plaintiffs. Citizens’ Papers First Day. Clerk of Court Rhoda desires the Pioneer to state that the first day of the term of district court to begin simply an evidence of shiftlessness.” The city officials of Bemidji were next Tuesday, will be given over to the issuing of citizens’ papers to all who make application therefor.

Public Invited to Inspect New Dirigi- ble Balloon. Berlin, Sept. 16.—Major Parsevals’ dirigible balloon was virtually placed at the disposal of the public during the day at Tegel, near here, by the company which constructed it in order that experimental voyages may be made to show the progress in the building of airships. About a dozen ascents were made successfully dur- ing ths day. Each time the airship carried one passenger in addition to the aeronaut in charge and the engi- neers. Minister of War von Einem and other leading military officers and ministers enjoyed voyages in the air, during which every possible maneuver was carried out with precision. There was almost no wind blowing. Major Parsevals and his colleague, Captain von Kehler, in conversing on the subject of the ship, said that more powerful motors Were necessary, the maximum power of the present en- gines being not sufficient to drive the alrship against a fairly strong wind. New motors are under construction and will be fitted to an improved Par- sevals airship. BACKED BY BUSINESS MEN Evangelist Torrey to Begin Campaign . in Chicago. Chicago, Sept. 16.—Chicago’s forces of evil are to be attacked by a gospel army of business men and evangel- ists who will open tkeir campaign on Sunday, Oct. 6, in a double canvas, steam heated tent with a seating ca- pacity of 5,000 people.

It is a movement intended to stir 2,000,000 people of the city to religious heights and depths. The project will be backed by the most representative: laymen of the various Protestant denominations of the city. The laymen’s evangelistic council of Chicago is at the head of the organization. Lake Vessel Goes to Bottom. Detroit, Sept. 16.—The steamer Da- vid W. Rust, towing the C. G. Barnes, both laden with ore, went aground off Poiut Pelee, Lake Erie, during a blow. When the steamer went aground the Barnes bore down on her and struck the Rust in the stern, tearing it open. The Rust settled to the bottom, while the Barnes’ stem was badly twisted and crushed by the collision. The crew of the Rust was taken off. THREE KN DEA Four-Story Building at Cincin- nati Suddenly Collapses. WAS UNDERGOING REPAIRS Entire Front of Structure Falls For- ward Into the Street, Leaving Only the Rear Section Standing—Many Narrow Escapes From Death. Cincinnati, Sept. 16.—Two unknown men and one woman were killed and & dozen others narrowly escaped death in the collapse of the Dohan Shoe company’s four-story bullding on Central avenue, near the Sixth street market. The building was one of the dldest in the retail section of the city and was undergoing repalrs, a new front being added and other improve- ments made. Shortly before noon, after a warning rumble, the front of the bullding fell torward into the street, leaving only the rear section standing. An un- known man, passing on the sidewalk, was stricken down, being dead when reached, while an elderly woman with- In three feet of him was uninjured A second man, apparently a laborer, was found dead in the ruins, as was Mre. Mary Dalley, who lived on the second floor. Of the seven workmen ln the building three were reported missing, but all were later found un- hurt. A number of women in the apartments that occupied the upper floors were carried down with the wreckage but managed to make their escape. The busy Sixth street market was thrown into a panic when the buflding fell, but fortunately no one wag injured in the crush. FIVE ROADS AFFECTED. Beilermakers on Strike for an Increase of Wages. 8t. Paul, Sept. 16.—Following the refusal of the Chicago Great Western, 0 line, Chicago, St. Paul, Minneap- olis and Omaha, Great Northern and Northern Pacific railways to grant their boilermakers an increase in wages to 45 cents an hour east of the Missouri river and 47% cents west of the Missouri the boilermakers of all five raflways went on strike at 8 2. m. The Great Northern’s big St. Paul shops have closed down so far as the boilermakers are concerned. The Great Western boilermakers at Oelwein, Ia., where that company has its principal shops, are out and at the Omaha’s St. Paul shops, the Soo line shops at Shoreham, the Northern Pacific shops at Brainerd, Fargo, Liv- Ingston and South Tacoma the same conditions prevail. The men have struck with the de- termiration of tieing up the boiler shops and the strike will in all prob- rbility extend to all the shops of the intercsted lines.

DEFECTS IN THE BRIDGE. Evidence Tending to Show Cause of Quebec Disaster., Quebec, Sept. 16.—D. B. Haley, president of the local Bridge Work- ers’ union and employed here since June last by the Phoenix Bridge com- pany, gave evidence before the gov- ernment commission which threw some new light on the case. This witness was on the traveler When the bridge collapsed and went down with It, being rescued by a boat from the opposite side. According to this wit- ness he and several companions on the bridge had noticed defects in the bridge. One of these was in the chord just outside of the cantiléver arm, the first one outside of the main diag- onal on the Quebec side. All the four webs of the chord were giving way. The lacing was bent down in some places end up in others, While ‘some showed signs of kKinking. About four feet of the chord séemed in this con- dition. This examination was.made on the eve of the acc MAKING LITTLE PROGRESS Governor Magoon Outlines Yellow: Fe- ver Situation in Cuba. ‘Washington, Sept. 16.—In a dis- pateh to the war department from Havana Governor Magoon outlines the vellow fever situztlon in Cuba. The cablegram says there were seven new cases ddiscovered at Cienfuegos in the last two days. All are Spaniards ex- cept one American soldier, Private William Foster of the Fifteenth cav- alry, whose case is believed to have been contracted in town and does not indicate an infection of the camp. The discovery of these cases is attributed to the increased efliciency of the med- leal patrol. There is also one new tase at Alacranes and one at Nueva Paaz, both Spaniards. Charged With Intimidation. New Haven, Conn., Sept. 16.—Frank A. McGee of Worcester, Mass,, organ- Izer of the International Molders’ un- lon, and John A.

American Investors Buying Up mense Tracts. ‘Washington, Sept. 16.—American in- vestors rapidly are gobbling up the timber lands of Western Canada. Dur- ing the precent r a Michigan syn- ddicate purcha 00 ccres of tim- ber land in the Klaanch river country, In the northern part of Vancouver isl end, which land is estimated to hold £,000,000,000 feet of fir, yellew and red cedar and white pine lamber. This company is building mills, also a rail- road twenty-two miles long to enable them to ship their laumber, making a total investment of nearly $2,000,000. The Standcrd Cil company has pur- chased 50,000 acres of timber lands at Ash and Dixon lakes, near Alberni, on this island, on ich are fir and cedar trees in large quantities, the in- vestment amounting to millions. So far nothing has been made public as to whether the company proposes to cut and sell the timber or to hold the property for an advance. A syndicate of Towa capitalists has purchased 210 square miles of timber lands on Vancouver island and the mainland, declaring their intention to erect mills on the island and cut tim- ber for the export trade. This com- pany says they expect to invest $2,- 000,000 in tws province. Other large purchases by American syndicates are being made every week, while small capitalists are also making invest- ments, which in the aggregate foot up to immense sums. RAILROAD STATISTICS.
