HIS DUTY IN FIXING DATE Continued from First Page doing his duty, and that verdicts and sentences could be nullified at the dictates of the governor’s private views concerning capital punishment. The proposition is preposterous and would put murder in the first degree on the free list. “I prosecuted those people to the best of my ability, and I have noth- ing to gloat over or apologize for. 1 feel as though I did my duty as the law defines it. I the law is not right let it be changed. “In the face of the great difficulty that northern Minnesota has experi- enced in convicting criminals, it is a disgusting situation that representa- tive citizens will express themselves as not favoring the enforcement of law and the prevailing of justice.” Was a Very Fine Lecture. The first number in the lecture course which will be given this fall and winter under the auspices of the Ladies Aid society of the Presbyter- jan church, was the lecture Saturday evening by Professor Elliot A. Boyle. There was a fair-sized crowd, con- sidering "that it was Saturday even- ing, which is always a busy time, and those who attended were repaid with by far the cleverest lecture ever delivered in this city. The speaker was scholarly and eloquent and his lecture on “The Seen and the Unseen” was filled with wit, humor and sentiment. The next number of the course will be a Ladies’ Quartette, on Sat- urday evening, November 16. given Made Good Deal on Land: ¥ W. T. Blakeley has the laugh on some parties who have been “josh- ing” him for some time past on having purchased a section and three quarters of land near Aberdeen, Saskatche\\‘an, two years ago. Mr. Blakeley bought the land at a low figure, and made no special effort to re-sell. However, a few weeks ago, he was approached by parties who desired to purchase some of his land, with the result that he has disposed of one section of the land, receiving $11,000 in cash therefor, realizing a clear profit of something like $35,000 on the original price paid for the property, and he still has three-fourths of a section left. Band Concert Nov. 15. Professor Thomas Symington, leader of the Bemidji band, an- nounces that the first of a series of winter band concerts will be given in the city hall about Friday evening, November 15th, when a specially- arranged program of high-class music will be rendered.

The railroad track is on the side of the lake and, according to the messenger, the track settled, throwing every one on the train into the water. The messenger said that he drove to the scene and saw the tralnmen reach a place of safety, but few of the workmen escaped. ON VARIOUS CHARGES. Pennsylvania Bank Cashier Indictment.

POLICY WILL BE CONTINUED Railroads Must Be Run More In the intaralt- of the People and Less for Wall Street in Order to Avoid Gov- ernment Operation, Chicago, Oct. 28.—“If the rallroads and the corporations claim the square deal they must be willing to give a square deal. The president wants neither more nor less from citizen, official, corporation, state or nation than that which is right, just and tair.” This declaration was made by E. E. Clark, member of the interstate com- merce commission, at a dinner given by the Traffic club of Chicago and at which he vigorously defended the presidential policy and ‘insisted ve- hemently that it must continue to the end. Mr. Clark was the principal speaker'and the subject under disqus- slon was the prosy one of “Car Ef- clency.” The commissioner seized the occasion, however, to issue an emphatic warning not only to the rail- roads but to the shippers and to the Industrial and commercial interests of the country generally. The men wWho listened to the message, so full of great imjort, were men who had made commercial and traffic history both as officials of railroads and of industrial corporations. In his. peroration Commissioner Clark sent broadsides into the ranks of presidential critics and placed this estimate upon the chief executive: “History will write Theodore Roose- velt as one of the nation’s immortal executives, who in his day saved the republic from impending destruction.” The commissioner took occasion to deplore the “high finance,” with which, he Insisted, the majority of our rail- roads is tainted; declared that it was time the raflroads were run for the people and not in the interest of Wall street; excoriated the rallroads for not better meeting the demands of Increasing tonnage; blamed the ship- pers for not having kept pace in the matter of facllities with increasing business; indignantly denied that the presidential policy had contributed to the present financial flurry; sang the gospel of co-operation between the railroads, the shippers and the ad- ministration as sweetly and eloquent- ly as Edward H. Harriman ever sang it and warned the rallroads that if they did not relleve car shortage with car efficlency the government would have to take a hand in the operation of rallways. SALE OF MILITARY SECRETS French Army and Navy Officers Un- der Arrest. Paris, Oct. 28.—Ensign Charles B. Ullmo of the French navy, who was arrested at Toulon Oct. 24 on the charge of being a spy and who con- fessed to having abstracted a secret naval signal book and the naval cipher code, and Berten, the army reserve officer, who was arrested at Vendome charged with negotiating with an agent of a foreign power for the sale of the military secrets, were brought to Paris and arraigned before an ex- amiring magistrate. Ullmo confessed everything, declar- ing he was heavily in debt and that his object was to raise money, but adding that he never intended to be a traitor, Berten denied the charge of trea- son, but nevertheless the correspond- ence seized when he was taken into custody seemed to prove that he ar- ranged to deliver certain military doc- uments to an agent of a foreign power. The latter is not named, but it is un- derstood to be Germany. SEPARATE STATEHOOD. President’s Position Regarding New Mexico and Arizona, ‘Washington, Oct. 28.—President Roosevelt has announced through Sen- ator Flint of California that he shall use his influence for separate state- hood for Arizona and New Mexico. The president, however, expressed the opinion that nothing in that direction could be accomplished at the next ses- sion of congress. Negro National Convention, Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. 28.—Lleu- tenant Colonel Allen Allensworth, U. 8. A., retired, one of the most prom- inent negroes of the West, has ad- dressed a communication to the mem- bers of the colored race in the United States asking for expressions regard- ing the holding of a national conven- tlon looking to the solution of the race problem in the Southern states and the desirability in particular of establishing a purely negro common- wealth in some part of the United States. Casts Deciding Vote for Rival. Bridgetown, Conn., Oct. 28.—Charles Bartlett, chairman of the Republican city committee, had to cast the vote which would place himself or his po- litical rival, Henry Lee, in nomina- tlon for mayor of this city.

Johnson, Second cavalry, sta- tioned at Fort Robinson, Neb., has atarted for the Cheyenne River reser- vatlon in South Dakota to use his influence with the troublesome Ute Indlans with a view to suppressing the outbreak.

Y., Oct. 28.—As the re- sult of an attempt of the Yonkers City Railway company to run cars over its line three policemen and a strikebreaker are in & hospital. The factorles had just closed for the Baturday half holiday when the cars left the barns and the streets were filled with workmen. As the cars moved slowly along the avenues they were followed by thou- sands of men and boys yelling and hooting. Two cars that went along Riverdale avenue were attacked by a mob and every pane of glass in them was smashed with stones. Mounted Policemen Cunningham and Smalley trled to drive back the rioters, but both were knocked off their horses and were finally rescued by other po- licemen who charged into the mob, hitting right and left with their heavy night sticks. The motorman of one of the cars attacked was struck on the head by stones and knocked un- conscious. It is feared that his skull is fractured. He and the two police- men were taken to the hospital. A similar scene was enacted in .Warburton avenue, where Policeman Kennedy was seriously injured. CLEAN RECORD MARRED. First Collision Occurs on London Un- derground Road. London, Oct. 28.—Three persons were killed and a dozen injured in a rearend collision at the West Hamp- stead station of the Metropolitan Un- derground railroad. The rear train, it appears, ran past the signals in a fog and crashed into a train standing at the station. This is the first accident of the kind since the London lines were elec- trified, when a system of electric sig- nalling was installed which the com- pany claimed would absolutely pre- clude the possibility of such a catas- trophe. The Metropolitan has had a remark- able record of immunity from fatali- tles. This is said to be the first accl- dent resulting in the death of a pas- senger, although 301.010,000,000 peo- ple have been carried since the open- ing of the road. NOT WARRANTED BY LAW Union Pacific Claims Time Limit on Tickets May Be Extended. Chlcago, Oct. 28.—The Union Pacific rallroad has taken issue with the in- terstale commerce commission in the matter of extending the time limit of round trip tickets. In direct violation of the ruling made by the commission, prohibiting the extension of the return limit for any cause, the officials of the road have announced the privilege will be granted in case of sickness. The only provision is that the request is to be accompanied by a doctor’s cer- tificate. The Union Pacific’s attorney contends the ruling of the commis- slon in this particular is not warrant- ed by the law. The other transcon- tinental lines will be forced to make like concessions unless the commis- slon acts. HAD BROKEN HIS PAROLE Reformatory Prisoner Suicides When Rearrested. St. Paul, Oct. 28.—George Blackwell, aged twenty-five, a paroled prisoner from the St. Cloud reformatory, blew out his brains at the entrance to the Central police station. Blackwell had been working for four months as book- keeper in the Minneapolis steel and machinery works. Several days ago he broke his parole by quitting his job, State Agent Bancroft arrested him at the Union depot and had just reached the station with his prisoner when the latter pulled a 38-caliber re- volver from his pocket and shot him- pelf through the temple, dying almost Instantly.

McAl- lister, white, aged seventy-two, waa ajtacked and beaten by a mob of abett a hundred negroes when he had been pointed out by Mrs, Henry Pace, colored, as the man who had attempt- ed to assault her thirteen-year-old daughter. McAllister was passing the Pace house and was taken unawares. The mob had knocked him down and was kicking him when Pace ran out and fought with the negroes for the man’s life. McAllister was hit on the head with a stone and renm- dered unconscious for a time. He was finally rescued by the police and taken to the city prison. McAllister denies that he attempted to assault the girl. DRANK MILK OF MAD COW Score of Minneapolis People Advised to Take Pasteur Treatment. Minneapolis, Oct. 28—City health officials have advised more than twen- tv Minneapolls people, members of the five families 'who drauk milk from John Swanson’s cow, which went mad several days ago and killed itself, to take the Pasteur treatment. .

New York, Oct. 28.—The stock ex- change and the banks closed for the day without any further failures of |mportance, with considerable im- provement in the stock market and with several important remedial measures taken or agreed upon to strengthen the financial situation. The pnly reverse of the day was the sus- pension of the Terminal bank, Brook- 1yn, a mew and small institution with- oat any importance in the general #nancial world. Already arrangements for the importation of gold are well wnder way and it is hoped this will furnish the relief needed. It is un- derstood that the treasury department will, as heretofore, advance the gold for immediate use o as to save the tlme occupied in transit from Eu- ‘Tope. Meanwhile, as a _precautionary measure, &lthough not regarded vitally esgential, the clearinghouse has au- thorized the issuance of loan certifi- cates. This means that the clearing- house banks are to present a united front in this emergency and that the aggregate resources of all of them are to be pledged for the maintenance of each. The runs upon the Trust Company of America and the Lincoln Trust com- pany continued in very much abated form, but both institutions met all de- mands. The drafts of country banks on their New York reserves were heavy but not alarming, since at this period of the year such drafts are to be ex- pected for the purpose of moving the crops. The imposition of the ninety days’ rule in Rhode Island stopped runs thére and matters assumed a normal phase. The stock market opened at an advance and showed little symptoms of serious agitation. London and other foreign points also gave reas- suring advices. The rate of exchange was such as.to facilitate gold imports and confidence abroad was evidenced by the improved tonme of all foreign { bourses, the only weakness apparent- 1y being the result of a failure in Con- stantinople and the financial crisis in Chile. STOCK MARKET STEADY. Prices Are Firm, but Littie Business Is Tiansacted. New York, Oct. 28.—Early condi- tions in the stock market were quiet. Opening prices showed good advances, but - there was very little activity. There was a sprinkling of losses and some reactions after the strong open- ing, but the tone generally held steady in the secondary dealings. There was some selling of the Hill stocks and prices yielded all round in sympathy. Great Northern preferred and Delaware and Hudson fell 2%, Northern Pacific 2, Great Northern Ore Certificates 1%, New York Cen- tral 1% and Reading a point. The market was tending towards re- covery when .the bank statement ap- peared. There was some wavering of prices on the showing of a deficit be- low the legal reserve, byt its small amount, little more than $1,000,000, ‘was regarded favorably on considera- tion and the market showed resistance to depression. There was no increase in the activity of the dealings. There was a sale of American Smelters’ se- curities preferred B at an advance of 15 points over the lowest price of the week, There were some further unsettled fluctuations in the final dealings, but the market continued to shovw resist-’ ance and closed irregularly strong. Berlin Bourse Is Affected. Berlin, Oct. 28.—Prices on the bourse were flat, the tone was de- pressed and there was little :specula- tion. Domestic shares were slightly lower. The adverse conditions were attributed to the financial troubles in New York and at Santiaga, Chile, where the gold premium has reached 70 per cent, the highest rate known there, Another Brooklyn Fallure, New York, Oct. 28—The TTerminal bank of Brooklyn, a small state instl- tution with a capital of $100,000 and deposits of about $240,000, has sus- pended payment. ANNOUNCEMENT BY BRYAN His Candidacy WIill Not Depend Upon Choice of Republicans. Kingston, N. Y., Oct. 28—W. J. Bry- an declared here that his decision whether to announce himself as a can- didate for the Democratic nornination for president will not depend vipon the choice of Republicans. While pass- g\g through Kingston on his way to ort Jervis, where he was scheduled to speak,~Mr. Bryan authorized the following statement: “Mr. Bryan's decision as to being a candidate will not depend on Who the Republican candidate is. The question will be considered entirely from the standpoint of Democratic principles and Democratic advancement.” " CARNEGIE IS OPTIMISTIC. Genuine Busin WIII Not 8uffer by Finanolal Flurry, { New York, Oct. 28.—Andrew Car-| negle, upon his return from Europe after a -long vacalion abroad, ex- pressed himself in a most optimistic way coucerning the financial situa- ‘tion. “I was delighted to read the latest news,” he said. “I am surprised that the fall in stocks has been so small. | Talg proves that the situation is not alarming and that_the country is all right. Tnyestors have only 6 Thold on, The financial authorities have acted boldly hut wisely and the flurry will soon blow over, It is quite right that savings banks should require no-| tice, “It should not be forgotten, how- ever, that we have had the greatest expansion of modern times and sure as fate reaction must come and has already begun, but(it will be healthful, ‘We may have a season of less activ- ity in trade, but that will be followed ine due time by another perlod of ex- pansion. Nothing can prevent the rapid progress of the republic. She is all right and bound to distance all competitors in the race. Speculation will be less to the front for a time, but genuine business will not.suffer seri- ously. “It lies in the nature of things that the attempt to attribute the recent end spasmodic fall in prices to the wise and in the truest sense the truly conservative resolve of the president and his cabinet to enforce the salutary laws against the abuse of their pow- erg by certain trusts 1s only a device to serve political intrigue.” GOVERNMENT GIVES AID. Russian Westinghouse Company Will Continue Business. St. Petersburg, Oct. 28—Owing to the embarrassment of two of the American Westinghouse companies and the cessation of financial support from them the municipality of St. Pe- tersburg has come to the assistance of the Russian Westinghouse com- pany and has given assurances to General Manager Smith that pay- ments on the electric street railroad contract will be hastened so as to prevent a stoppage of the work. The sltuation for a time was critical, as instead of a remittance of $125,006 expected from America this week the Westinghouse people advised Mr. Smith that the Russian company would have to depend entirely on its own resources. A stoppage of work at the big Moscow factory might have precipitated grave labor troubies. There are funds enough in sight now to meet the obligations. AFTER KING EDWARD. Former South African Under Arrest in England. Newmarket, Eng., Oct. 28.—The po- lice here have arrested a man sus- pected of having designs on the life of King Edward or the Prince of Wales. The prisoner, who was a member of the Bechuanaland (South Africa) police named J. H. Pearse, was found wandering in Chippenham park, where the king had been shoot- ing and in which the prince is going to shoot. Pearse, when taken into custody, said he intended to “shoot the boss who was shooting here.” After a preliminary examination in the police court he was remanded for further inquiries regarding his past life. It appears that he participated in the Jameson raid into the Trans- vaal and is laboring under the im- pression that he has a grievance against ' King Edward. His majesty has returned to London, AFFECTING MARRIED LIFE Newark Judge Renders Decision on Interesting Points. New York, Oct. 28.—Every married couple must be interested in two de- cisions rendered by the learned Judge Howelle at the first criminal court, Newark. First, it is every husband’s simple duty to wash the dishes in his house- hold if need be. But that duty is not cumulative; if his wife carefully col- lects the dishes used at their three daily meals and demands that he wash them he is perfectly right to refuse to do so. Second, if a husband earns $35 a week and gives $34 to his wife each week he should be free from her sus- plcion that he'is leading a double life, Aided His Wife to Suicide. New York, Oct. 28—Charged ‘with having aided his wife Laura to com- mit suicide on June 7 last James War- dell, aged twenty-three, has been con- victed of manslaughter in the first de- gree.

Pettibone Trial Again Delayed. Boise, Ida., Oct. 28.—Attorneys for the state and defense in the case of George A. Pettibone, charged with complicity in the murder of ex-Gov- ernor Steunenberg, have signed a stipulation that the trial shall be con- tinued until Nov. 18.
