RULING OF POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT ON CONTESTS Newspapers Containing Guessing Con- test Ads Are Not Allowed the Use of Mails. During the past year, the ' Pio- neer had “turned down” several advertisements, wherein the parties requesting the “‘ads” have desired to advertise some guessing contest or free-gitt enterprise. The refusal of the advertising vexed. some of our friends, and they possibly thought we did not desire their business. In order that all may know the law relative to the publishing of “lottery matter,” we reproduce the following,taken from a recent issue of the American Press: “During the Ppast year or two many of the publishers of weekly news- papers in South Dakota as well as other states, says a Sioux Falls spec- ial to the Sioux City (Ia.) Journal, have grown somewhat careless in re- gard to printing advertisements or articles concerning the giving away of prizes by business men, church societies or ether bodies as the result of guessing contests. “Unwittingly the newspapersallud- ed to have assisted in breaking the postal laws prohibiting the circula- tion through the mails of lottery schemes. A few days ago Post- master Dobson of Alexandria, S. D., had his attention called to a weekly newspaper which contained articles in reference to guessing contests, the | ‘holder of the lucky number’ and otker similar propositions, and to definitely determine whether or not these came under the government definition of a lottery scheme he sent a copy of one of the advertise- ments to the department at Wash- ington and requested an opinion as to whether the paper containing the advertisement was entitled to mail- ing privileges. “Postmaster Dobson mnow has received a reply from the postoffice department officials, whose ruling is in substance to the effect that te all intents and purposes the advertise- ment was exploiting a lottery scheme and that the newspapers publishing the same or similiar advertisements were not entitled to mailing privi- leges under the postal laws of the United States. “In view of this ruling, newspaper publishers will exercise more care in future and not publish anything concerning guessing contests or any other proposition wherin there is the slightest suspicion of a lottery chance scheme.” Bishop Morrison Here Feb. 9. Archdeacon Parshall, in charge of the Episcopalian congregations in this district, wishes the Pioneer to announce that Bishop Morrison of Duluth will be in Bemidji February 9th, at 10:30 a. m., and will preside at services to be held at that hour. Bishop Morrison will deliver a ser- mon and officiate at the communion. Good Residence for Sale. C. C.

W. B. Stewart, superintendent of schools of Beltrami county, has re- ceived a letter from J. W. Olsen, state superintendent of schools, in which the latter states that it will probably be necessary for the pub- lic schools to install an anemome- ter for the purpose of testing the ventilations of the schools. The letter, which will be pre- sented to the board of county com- missioners, is as follows: “Department of Public Instruction, “St. Paul, Minn. “Jan. 8, 1908. “Dear Sir— All who have given the matter thought agree it is exceed- ingly important that the pupils of our public schools be supplied with plenty of fresh air, heated properly, and distributed through all parts of the room without causing dangerous draughts. . “Every county superintendent should provide himself with an ane- mometer, that he may measure scien- tifically and exactly the amount of fresh air admitted, and of foul air omitted, by the heating and venti- lating appratus of each school room, and be able to give the school board accurate data for determining its efficiency or defects. The cost of such an instrument should be allowed by the county commissioners for it constitutes just as valid a claim against the county as the stationery and postage of the county superin- tendent. “After this year, applications for state aid will require county superin- tendents to furnish results of com- plete anemometer tests in each instance. “Yours very truly, “1. wW. Olsen, “Superintendent.” FIRE LOSS §1,000,000 City and County Building at Poriland, Me., Destroyed. ‘MANY LIVES ENDANGERED At Time of Conflagration Seven Hun- dred Persons Were Attending a Pythian Jubiles in the Auditorium Located in the Structure. Portland, Me., Jan. 25.—A fire which caused a property damage of $1,000, 009 destroyed the ecity hall and police buildings and endangered the lives of more than 700 persons. Although known as city hall the building was divided between city and county offices, while the police building shel- tered the supreme, judicial and munic- ipal courts in addition to the police department. The fire was the worst in the state since the great Portland conflagration of 1866, when the city’s business and residential sections were almost com- pletely wiped out. That there were no fatalities is re- fmarkable, as there were more than 700 persons attending the Western Maine Knights of Pythias jubilee gath- ered in the auditorium of the city hall when the flames were discovered. Only a few persons were hurt, Chief Engineer Melville Eldridge being the only one khown to be seriously in- Jured and he was able to direct the fight against the flames throughout, being supported by two assistants. The financi2l loss is estimated at $1,000,000, but this sum will not cover the loss of the papers and documents In the registry ot deeds, where every- thing was destroyed. Other city de- partmenis were swept clear of every- thing by the flames, with the excep- tion of the city clerk's and the city treasurer’s offices. The money and securities in the latter are_believed FomiA to 'be Tniact, although 1t will he al- most impossible to ascertain definitely until the vaults have cooled suficient- ly for an examination to be made. One of the most valuable libraries in the state, the Greenleat law collection, was completely destroyed, with a loss estimated at $10,000. The blaze originated in the city electrician’s office and was caused by crossed wires and this made it im- possible to ring a call for the fire de- partment in any of the boxes. FRONT OF BANK WRECKED Bomb Hurled at New York Institution. Italian New York, Jan. 25.—An exploding |* bomb wrecked the front of an Italian bank building on Elizabeth street, briefly exposing $40,000 in silver and gold which the bankers, Pasquale A. Pati & Son, had piled in the windows as ocular proof of their ability to pay depositors on demand. The junior partner, Salvator Pati, Wwho was on guard inside, was cut by the glass that crashed in upon him, but stuck by his charge and soon had the money stored away in the vaults. The score of clerks had left the place some hours before and the ex- plosion injured none but the younger Pati. The bomb throwers, who were not seen by the banker, were quickly lost in the crowd of several thousand ex- clted Italians who gathered about the wreck. LOST MOST OF ITS TRADE Labor Boycott Has Ruinous Effect on Tobacco Comipany. New York, Jan. 25—A boycott placed against the brands of tobacco manufactured by the Day and Night Tobacco company in February, 1907, by the labor unions resulted in the company losing 75 par cent of its busi- ness, according to Walter G. Fried- lander, president of the company. Mr. Friedlander made this statement while testifying in the hearing on the gov- ernment’s suit against the American Tobacco company for alleged viola- tlon of the Sherman anti-trust law. He told of the organization of the Day and Night company by the Amer- ican Tobacco company at Cincinnati and of the disastrous effect of the boy- cott during the past year. At the conclusion of Mr. ¥Friedlan- der’s testimony the hearing was ad- Journed until Feb. 6. DIES OF PNEUMONIA. Chicago Attorney Recently Target for Woman’s Pistol. Chicago, Jan. 25.—Samuel R. Ha- mill of Terre Haute, Ind., one of the counsel for John R. Walsh in the banker’s recent trial and at whom Mrs. Beatrice Metcalf fired several shots as he was leaving the court- room, is dead at the Auditorium hotel of pneumonia. Mr. Hamill had been ill for several days and his condition, although crit- ical, was not considered hopeless. Drives Engine Through Crowd. Baku, Transcaucasia, Jan. 25.—In consequence of the accidental killing of some laborers by a locomotive at a suburban station of the railroad here a mob of comrades of the victims sur- rounded the engine and attempted to lynch the engineer. To escape the fury of the excited workmen the en- sineer opened the throttle of the loco- motive and dashed through the crowd, killing six men and injuring many others. . _SHOW MUCH IGNORANCE. Russian Papers Discuss Possibility of American-Japanese War. St. Petersburg, Jan. 25.—The rela- Yons between the United States and Japen are receiving considerable at- tention in several St. Petersburg newspapers and there have been pub- lished recently two or three series of articles which express the opinion that war between these two countries & certain to come. The writers, how- ever, show little famillarity with polit- fcal conditions in the United States and the present status of the negotia- tions between that country and Japan. A writer in the Russ, who recently announced the cession of Nakhotka bay, on the Siberian coast, to the United States to be used as 2 base for the battleship squadron under Rear Admiral Evans, follows this statement with a series of alleged diplomatic revelations concerning what he calls the “negotiations for a Russc-Amer- lcan offensive and defensive alliance.” He avers that the chief obstacle to the conclusion of such a treaty is the naval weakness of Russia and says that the construction of a fleet of tor- pedo boats and fast cruisers would ex- ort a favorable influence on the nego- Uations. This is the reason that Em- peror Nicholas is so insistent upon an sxpansive naval programme. Ambagsador Riddle, in interviews published in the Novoe Vremya and other newspapers, has done much to diseredit rumors of this kind. ‘He has pointed out that the negotiations bo- tween Japan and the United States are proceeding satisfactorily and that they are approaching & successful conclu- sion. 4 REBELS GET ANOTHER TOWN Occupy Port de Paix, Not Far From Cape Haytien. Port au Prince, Hayti, Jan. 25.—The revolutionists have taken possession of the town of Port de Paix, thirty-five mileg west of Cape Haytien.

Marc, has been removed ftem office by the American legation because of his complicity with the rebels. Moit is a Haytian. Work for the Unemployed. Pittsburg, Jan. 25.—In an effort to glve work to the unemployed the Pittsburg Railway company has adopt- ed a new rule providing that all reg- ular motermen and conductors shall lay off two days a week in order tc help hundreds of idle men. At New- kastle, Pa., over 400 glass workers are Bonsidering a plan to operate a fac- tory upon a vo-operative basis. Wi@te i THREE FIREMEN DEAD Sixteen Others Injured During a Blaze at Baltimore. WALLS SUDDENLY COLLAPSE Give Way Without Warning Shortly After the Flames Break Through the Windows and Scatter Death Among the Fire Fighters. Baltimore, Jan. 25.—An early morn- ing fire took heavy toll of the mem- bers of the fire department of this city, three being dead and sixteen others more or less seriously injured. The list of the latter in.ludes the name of George .Horton, chief of the fire department, who is in a serious condition. He has a badly lacerated scalp and internal injuries. The first hasty examination indicated that his skull was fractured, but a more care- ful investigation showed this not to be the case. The financial damage is estimated at $400,000. The blaze, which is the worst . that has occnrred in this city since the calamity of 1904, started on the third floor of the building on the southeast corner of Holliday =and Saratoga streets, occupied by the J. Regester Sons company, plumbers’ supplies. Other occupants of the build- ing were the Baltimore Bell and Brass company and the William L. Hollings- worth company, machinists. Upon these three the heaviest losses will fall. The fire had apparently been burning some time before it was dis- covered. The first alarm was quickly followed by a general alarm, which brought most of the fire apparatus in the city to the scene. A strong wind frem the northwest and a very low temperature made the work of fight- ing tbe fire more than ordinarily diffi- cult and the flames spread very rap- idly. In an incredibly short - time after the blaze broke out of the win- dows on the Saratoga street side of the Regester building and without the slightest warning a large section of the north wall of the building fell. Tt was this tbhat scattered death and in- juries: among the firemen. who were working close to the building. For a time it seemed that the fire would sweep diagonally through the block to Gay street and a number of people living on that thoroughfare moved their effects. Changes in the wind, however, helped the firemen and enabled to confire the damage, in addition to that already mentioned, to the plants of the E. B. Read & Sons company, prianters, and the Flynn & Emrich company, machinists, located in a fivesstory building on Saratoga street, in the rear of the Regester building. WITNESSES ARE DELAYED Thaw Trial Forced to Adjourn Until -~ Monday. New York, Jan. 25.—Sessions of the Thaw trial were abandoned at the re- quest of the dafense and an adjourn- ment was taken until Monday morn- ing. A heavy snow storm tied up ship- ping in the bay and prevented the docking of the steamer Adriatic, on which three physicians and a trained nurse are coming from Europe to tes- tify as to irrational outbreaks by Herry Thaw at Monte Carlo, 'Paris and London. Another witness, Dr. Bingaman of Pittsburg, who is recov- ering from an attack of pneumonia, wiil not be in the city until Monday. Mr. Littleton, in his request for ad- journment, said he believed the delay would really result in expediting the case, as he would employ the interven- ing time in preparing the hypothetical question for the experts and submit- ting a draft of it to District Attorney Jerome for any suggestions or objec- tions he may have to offer. FEAR AN UPHEAVAL. Chicago Saloonkeepers Decide on Cer- tain Reforms. ‘ Chicagec. Jan. 25.—Music and slot machines will disappear next week from 5,000 Chicago saloons by order, not of the police, but of officials of the saloonkeepers’ organization. Closer observance of the Sunday closing or- dinance also has been commanded and drawn shades and unlighted windows advised for Sunday. At a directors’ meeting of the Chi- cago Liquor Dealers’ Protective asso- ciation the decision to banish music and slot machines came after an earnest plea of several officials. The activity of State’s Attorney Healy in the Sunday closing cases and the work of the No.License and Chicago Law and’ Order leagues- were declared to precede a saloon upheaval if close observance was not paid to the law. Alleged Conspirator Escapes. London, Jan. 25.—A dispatch has been received here from Lisbon say- ing that Dr. Farmano Lopez, who was connected with the recent conspiracy to blow up Premier Franco with a bomb, made a daring escape from the San Julia prison, a strong fortress at the mouth of the Tagus river. Public Schools to Be Closed. Pitisharg, Jan. 25.—Four public schools are about to be closed because of the epidemic of measles. Already this month 1,033 cases of measles have been reported from all parts of the censolidated city. Since the epi- demic began a few weeks ago there have heen 3,033 cases. MOSTLY SECOND CLASS MEN Harvard Professor Would Kill Off Ma- Jority of Our Educators. Chicago, Jan. 25.—In an address to the Germanistic society of Chicago Professor Hugo Muensterberg of Har- vard university declared that Amer- lean universities would be better off If two-thirds of the professors were killed. He said: “There seems to be something weak and mollyagddie about our whole scademic’system. “In our highest in- stitutions of learning_we find, with a | still Civie Tew Totable excéplions, only second class men. And we may be sure that second class schoolmasters never will bulld up first class scholarship. An PROFESSOR. MUENSTERBERG. increase in the salary of the assistant vrofessors and instructors in our col- leges and universities by a few hun- dred dollars a year will never accom- plish anything. What is needed is great premiums at the top. “One of the greatest evils from which our American universities suffer is too great an abundance of men. As soon as an institution gets some money the first thought is to add more men to the faculty, to outdo some neighhoring institution. Every one of our American universities would be nearer to the ideal if it would kill two- thirds of its instructors and profes- sors.” CAMPAIGN IS OPENED, Cummins Boom for United States Sen- ate Launched. Des Moines, Jan. 25.—Red hot ora- | tory by Judge S. F. Prouty opened | ihe campaign of Governor Albert B. Cummins in his fight to wrest the United States senatorship from Will- jam E. Allison, who has represented Towa for over three decades at Wash- ington. Men, railroads and political topics were handled without regard to the niceties of language. Judge Frouty devoted a large part of his speech to the discussion of the struggles in the Iowa legislature for railroad law amendments. He de- clared that the railroads having inter- | ests in the state had destroyed, polit- ically and in business life, one after another, all men of state prominence who had dared to oppose their pro- jects. He devoted a half hour to’ Sen- ator Allisen persenally and condemned him in general for the things he had left undone during the past three decades of his legislative career. TAFT WILL MAKE NO FIGHT Governor Hughes Likely to Get New York Delegation. Albany, N. Y., Jan. 25.—Governor Hughes has refused to comment for publicaticn or privately upon the let- ter of Secretary Taft in which, writ- ing tc Representative Herbert Par- soms, chairman of the Republican general commiftee of New York coun- ty, Mr. Taft deprecated any effect to secure the New York state delegation in his interest agaiust that of Gov- ernor Hughes. = The general belief here is that there would be no further opposition to the endorsement of Governor Hughes at the sprirg state conven- tion to name delegates at large to the national convention. The conflict, in view of the case, will be over the per- sonnel of the delegation, the Hughes movement leaders being determined to secure the choice, if possible, of delegates at large who will be loyal to the governor and not use his can- didacy for trading purposes. Aid for Chicago Unemployed. Chicego, Jan. 25.—Plans to raise a fund of $100,000 for the relief of the | unemployed of Chicago were made at a meeting of twenty-four of the most prominent men of the city at the Grand Pacific hotel. Practically every industry in the city was representdd, as well as all the large clubs, com- | mercial organizations and charitable associations. Wage Reduction at Homestead. Pitisburg. Jan. 25.—Rumors circu- lated in Homestead are to the effect that orders have been received from New York that a wage reduction of from 10 fo 30 per cent, affecting the entire Homestead steel works, is scheduled for Feb. 1. All the depart- ments of the big mills will resume work Sunday evening. Suspected Murderer Surrenders. Chicago, Jan. 25.—Edward McGee, who is suspected of the murder of his wife, Katherine Cartwright McGee, has surrendered himself to the police. He refused to talk about the death of bis wife and would neither confess nor deny that he had killed her. PROGRESS STILL SLOW. Some Improvement Noted in Trade Situation. New York, Jan. 25.—Dispatches to Dun’s Review indicate that trade in- creases sgradually, but progress is slow. The financial improve- ment is still the best feature of the situation. An improved tone is noted at’ Chi- cago and there is more confidence re- garding the outloock. Heavy settle- ments are made by the banks without difiiculty and the weather has been favorable to the absorption of winter merchandise. Satisfactory = reports come from the interior as to trade conditions and the agricultural out- look is reassuring. 5 Mild weather at St. Paul has re- tarded the movement of seasonable wearing apparel, but footwear shops have ample orders and payments are fairly prompt. Northwestern retailers place orders freely in the Minneapolis market for spring goods. The recent stringency caused limited prepara- tions for winter trade, but mild weather rendered light stocks suffi- clent. s BLIZZARD IN THE EAST Severe Snow Sterm Rages Along the Atlantic Coast, CREAT SUFFERING I GOTHAM —— b) The Unemployed, the Homeless and the Poorer Classes Caught Unpre- pared and Hundreds Are Compelied to Beg for Shelter. { New York, Jan. 25.—A severe bliz- zard is raging here. The city streets are piled deep in places with drifts ment of ferryboats and other harbor and river craft is badly hampered. The steam roads also are seriously delayed. More than nine inches of snow has fallen and there appears to be no immediate prospect of a cessa- tion. Coming suddenly on the heels of a long period of unusually weather the storm caught the unem- ployed, the homeless and the poorer people of the East Side totally unpre- pared. Many who have in the warmer weather found shelter yarded for the night were driven out and there was a rush of the homeless to the city lodging houses and charita- ble institutions to beg for shelter. For the first time this winter the city lodg- ing house was overcrowded and the covered pier of the charities depart- ment at the foot of East Twenty- sixth street was turned into an emer- gency lodging house. Many applica- tions for shelter were received at the { various police stations. The work of removing the snow was begun early and many hundreds of men who were in sad need of employ- ment were given work clearing the streets, The body of a man about whom | nothing is known except that his name wag James Smith was found under a stoop in East Twenty-third street. He had crept under the stoop to seek pro- toction from the storm and had frozen to death. Marine observers report the storm to be particularly severe off the coast. At Sandy Hook a northwest gale was blowing and the swirling snow re- tion extremely hazardous. Railroad Traffic Is Crippled. Philadelpkia, Jan. 25.—In Pennsyl- vania, New Jersey and Delaware snow has reached a depth of six inches and the prespects are that the storm will | continue for some time. A high wind | prevails and the snow is badly drift- ed. The storm is worse in New Jer- sey, where railroad trafic is badly crippled. New England States Affected. Boston, Jan. 25.—Southeastern New snow storm. It was the first snow of any amount, that has fallen in this section since Dec. 14. The storm de- layed railroad and streét car traffic. PICKED UP “BY STEAMER. Mii ing Passengers of the Amstérdam Are Safe. Took: of Holland, Jan. 25.—All the missing passengers and crew from the steamer Amsterdam bave been brought in here safely. The steamer Amsterdam belongs to the Great Eastern Railway company. She sailed from Harwich for Rotter- dam Jan. 21 with fifty-six passengers on board. That same night she col- | lided with the British steamer Axmin- ster near Nieuwe Waterweg and sus- tained serious damage. Her crew and passengers left her in small boats and all the boats excepting one were speedily picked up. The passengers on the missing boat numbered twenty-one and the crew seven. They were picked up by the Norwegian steamer Songa one hour after they left the Amsterdam in a small boat. Consequently they suf- fered no hardship. The Songa was bound from Norwich for Rotterdam. The heavy fog which has prevailed prevented the Songa from landing and made impossible an effective search for the missing people. WAGES WAR ON TERRORISTS New Governor of Odessa Begins Task With Energy. Odessa, Jan. 25.—General Tomalt- cheff, who has been made governor general of Odessa in succession to General PFouffal, has inaugurated his regime with a detérmindtion to fight the revolutionists of Odessa with en- ergy. The police discovered a bomb in a public tea room. The place was cleared and closed, the bomb left where it was and the new governor general notified. He gave orders that the bomb be exploded where it was found. This was doné, with the result that the house where the tea room was located was totally destroyed. General Tomaltcheff announces that this method of fighting the revolution- ists will be continued. The new governor general came here from the Caucasus, where he held the post of governor. Great Lockout Is Averted. Manchester, Eng., Jan. 25.—There will be no lockout of the Manchester cotton operatives. Lengthy negotia- tions between the cotton mill workers and their employers resulted in the capitulation of the workers. The em- plovers insisted upon the acceptance of their tsrms and to these the men agreed. This understanding averts at the eleventh hour the great lockout. For Statewide Prohibition. Raleigh, N.
