E Ex-Sergeant Otto, who is acting as recruiting officer for the proposed new Bemidji militia company, de- { sires the Pioneer to state that it is the intention to have an athletic| club in connection with the organ- ization of the company, and he says further: “I notice that there is consider- able talk among the young men of the city relative to organizing an athletic association and putting in a gymnasium. That is just what we would like in connection with the military company. In fact, ath- letics is essential to a good soldier, as none but strong, able-bodied men will be taken in as members. Cer- tainly, a gymnasium would be a desirable addition to the militia quarters.” It is expected that the resolution required by the adjutant general will be offered for passage at this evening’s meeting of the council, providing ways and means for quar- ters for the proposed militia com- pany. K. P.s Plan a Good Time. The Bemidji Lodge, K. of P.is planning on having a real, old-fash- ioned, enjoyable time, next Tues- day evening, . when the Knights will bring their wives and lady friends to the lodge room to get better acquainted with each other, and also to work up a more lively interest in the order. | It is proposed to have a nice “feed,” and to agitate among the ladies the proposition of resurrect- ing the Ladies lodge. | All members of the order and their lady friends are invited to attend.

Spooner of this city will preside, the judge having returned this morning from St. Paul. The term will begin tomorrow i forenoon, at 10 o’clock.

COUNTRY NEEDS REST James J. Hill Says It Is Time to Stop Ghost Daxcing. WILL BE DULL FCR A TIME 88 Positive That Railroad Earnings the Coming Swmmer Will Be Less Than Last—Northwest Not Hit as Hard as Other Sections. New York, Feb. 10.—James J. Hill, chairman of the board of directors of the Great Northern railway, has ar- rived in New York from St. Paul and stated that the coming summer would show a decrease in railroad earnings over last summer. “I am not so much of an optimist,” he said, “as to predict that railroad earnings this summer will not be be- low those of last summer. “I am sure that they will be. But there are more people in this country today than ever before and they are people of fair in- telligence. What the country needs now ls rest. Let it have rest and let a stop be put to this ghost dancing and everything will work out all right. “Things are quiet enough every- ‘where, but up in the Northwest we are % feeling it less than in some other | = places. We have no large industrial | Dplants there and the farmers will plant as much wheat as ever. I should say that the percentage of idle equipment on the Great Northern was somewhat less than the percentage re- ported to be idle on the roads of the country as a whole.” Commenting on the earnings of the Great Northern, which a few days ago T % ‘ reported a large increase In gross | earnings for the month of January, f Mr. Hill said that it had to be borne in mind that compariscn was being made with the same period last year Wwhen the Toad was greatly handi- capped by an unusually severe winter. Mr. Hill, in reply to questions, said JAMES J. HILL, that he could nof foresee how long present conditions would last. “If 1 knew,” he said, “I would be glad to tell y But I cannot predict how long it will be before things right themselves.” IN DANGEROUS CHANNEL. Battleship Fleet Proceeding Through Straits of Magllan. Punja Arenas, Straits of Magellan, Feb. 10.—The American battleships, accompanied by the torpedo boat flo- tilla, have cleared from the harbor on their way through the western half of. the straits to the Pacific coast of South America. Through the dangerous channels of the western portion of Magellan straits, navigating with extreme cau- tion until Cape Pillar, the western- most point of the soathern side of the straits, has -been left well behind and the waters of the broad Pacific fairly entered, the American battleship fleet and torpedo boat destroyer flotilla now continne their remarkable cruise. From Punta Avenas their course lies southward to Cape Froward, the south- ernmost point on the mainland of South America. From Cape Froward the straits turn and extend 150 miles in a northwesterly direction. After Cape Fillar has been cleared the bat- tleships’ prows will be turned north- ward and a course laid along the Chil- ean coast to a point off Valparaiso and thence to Callao. CONDITIONS GROW WORSE Reading Road Has More Idle Equip- ment Than Last Month. Philadelphia, Feb. 10.—Traffic condi- |tions on the Reading railway are not improving, according to a comparative statement made public of locomotives In reserve. The company now has 169 good locomotives idle, as compared ‘with 145 in January and 28 on Dec. 1 last. The company, in order to keep together its operating forces, will put into effect a new order whereby the trainmen now in th2 service will be put on a four-day per week basis. Those of the experienced men it was necessary to suspend by reason of the falling off of trafic will be brought back into the service so as to give all its good operating men em- ployment. Seven Per Cent Cut in Wages. Sharon, Pa., Feb. 10.—The Republic Iron and Steel company has announced a 7 per cent reduction in the wages of the blast furnace workers in the Ma- honing and Shenango valleys. AFFINITIES IN FIGHT. Woman Who Had Two Cause of the Trouble. . Chicago, Feb. 10.—Mrs, Grace Franke of Sault Ste. Marie boasts of a hus- band and two soul mates. Hence she Is in jail here. “This talk about affinity is right,” said Mrs. Franks, “but it’s ridiculous to talk about having only one ‘soul mate’ I have had two. But you must not let your affinities mix.” Mrs. Franks is a prisoner in the Harrison street police station annex; Todd Naylor, soul mate No. 2, seri- ously wounded, is a patient in the county jail hospital and Percy Me- Donald, soul mate No. 1, is confined in the Maxwell street police station. The two men fought a knife duel in an apartment house for the possession of the woman. Mrs. Franks gave a graphic descrip- tlon of her life since she adopted affinity principles. She is twenty-one years of age and attractive. “I was married when I was sixteen,” she said, “and soon afterwards be- came acquainted = with McDonald. From the first I knew he was—well, what professors call an affinity—so I left my husband and went with him to Minneapolis. He was employed there by the Northwestern Railway company. Life was happy for several years, when my second ‘soul mate’ appeared and we came to Chicago to live. “But before we were settled here McDonald droppeg in from apparently nowhere. All I remember after that ‘was that some one was stabbed and the police came and “arrested all of us.” Kills His Father and Siicides. Chicago, Feb. 10.—Wilhelm Will- {ams, twenty-two years old, who shot and killed his father, John Williams, is dead at St. Bernard’s hospital. The tragedy was the result of a quarrel. Both men had been out of employment for several weeks. The father re- turned from a search for work and found the young man at home par- tially intoxicated. He upbraided his son for not trying to get work and the son thereupon drew a revolver and shot his father twice and then turped the weapon on himself. Overdue Liner Causes Anxiety. Philadelphia, Feb. 10.—The Philadel- pbia Transatlantic line steamer Eagle Point, from London for this port, which was spoken in latitude 48, longi- tude 40, on Jan. 25 with a broken shaft, bas not since been heard from and there is some anxiety here as to the safety of the big steamer. The Eagle Point is now twelve days overdue. NATION MOURNS DEAD Portuguese United in Prayer for Murdered King and Prince. FUNERALS WITHOUT INCIDENT Bitter Partisan Feeling Apparently Forgotten for the Moment and the Whoie Country Joins in Fitting Ob- sequies for Their Dead Leaders. Lisbon, Feb. 10.—The funeral serv- dces over the bodies of King Carlos and his son Luiz, crown prince of Por- tugal, who were shot to death a week ago, was held in the Church of San Vincente. The ceremonies were sim- ple but impressive and the final act in the bloody tragedy of Feb. 1 was carrfed to a close without any unto- ward incident. The line of the funeral procession from the royal chapel in the palace to the church was guarded by troops, several additional regiments having heen brought into the city for the purpose. All the governments of Europe and America were represented by special missions. The day was one on which the Por- tuguese people united in prayer for their murdered king and prince. Op- pression, real or fancied, the restric- tion of lberty, the bitter clash of party, sinister intrigue, merciless vengeance seemed all to have been abandoned, for the moment at least, as the nation prepared for the funeral. It was the day of the burial of their royal dead—the day also of the burial of fellow Roman Catholics—and fol- lowing the custom of Roman Catholics the people wished to join in some way in the solemn mass which was offered up for the spiritual welfare of Carlos and his son. Streets Thronged With People. The streets were thronged with peo- ple. They poured in from the country, from towns of the provinces and from nearby cities, some by trains, some by carriages or by cart and many on foot. In the crowd were large numbers of simple peasants and tradesmen from the provinces who knew or cared noth- ing of political strife, but wished only to mourn the dead leaders. The route of march between the palace and the church was densely Hned by the mourning people. All the business houses and shops of Lisbon were closed and the.ministerial offices situated in the Praca do Commercio were closed as a measure of precau- tion. Furthermore all the windows of these buildings were carefully . shut- tered. Yielding to earnest solicitations King Manuel did not take part in the procession. He and his mother, Queen Amelis, and the mother of the late king, Queen Maria Pia, were present at the services in the.mortuary chapel and followed the coffins to the doors of the chapel, whence they returned to the palace. STARTS HOME AT ONCE. Charles W. Morse Already on Way Back From Europe. Liverpool, Feb. 10.—C. W. Morse of New York has left here for New York on the steamer Etruria. This com- plete change in Mr. Morse’s plans was caused by the receipt of a cable- gram from New York. Mr. Morse ar- rived here earlier in the day on the Campania. The message changing his plans was received at Queenstown or by wireless hetween Queenstown and Liverpool and when he landed here he informed a correspondent of the Asso- clated Press that he was going to re- turn at once instead of proceeding to the Continent. Mr. Morse lingered in his cabin on board the Campania and was the last of the saloon passengers to step ashore. Iis face bore distinet traces of worry when he finally appeared at the gangway, down which he hurried. It was evident.that he was anxious to escape interviewers and he hastened in the direction of the baggage room. Mr. Morse declined to discuss in any way the status of his financial affairs or his prospects of getting out of his reported difficulties. TO WED HUNGARIAN COUNT Said Mrs. Vanderbilt Will Follow Ex- ample of Daughter. Berlin, Feb. 10.—The Tageblatt pub- Mshes a dispatch from its Budapest correspondent purporting to confirm the reported engagement of Mrs. Cor- nelius Vanderbilt to-Count Alexander Hadik. The correspondent says that the count has already notified his fam- ily that the wedding will take place immediately. Count Alexander Hadik was born in 1865, the cerrespondent continues. He was at one-time very rich, but his fortune has been greatly reduced. He is a member of the.im- perial council and is well known on most of the racecourses of Europe and he belongs to the Jockey and other exclusive clubs of Budapest. Indirect Victim of Horror. Boyertown, Pa., Feb. 10..— Mrs. George H. Grim, aged thirty-nine years, I8 dead here, an indirect victim of the Rhoades Opera House horror. Bofore the fire she- was in excellent health. Her daughter Lilllan, aged six- teen jears, was burned to death in the opera house and the next day Mrs, Grim was prostrated by the shock and never recovered. Her death is the 171st fatality due to the holecaust. LAWS WOULD BE INVALID Chalrman Jenkins Criticises = Argu- ments of Reformers. ‘Washington, Feb. 10.—The feature of the hearing of the anti-saloon repre- sentatives before the house judiciary committee was the remarks of Judge John J. Jenkins, chairman of the com- mittec, to Rey: S. B. Nicholson, who spoke for the American Anti-Saloon. league. The remarks were made at the conclusion of an argument by Mr. Nicholson urging the adoption of the | Littlefleld ' or some similar bill pro- hibiting the shippinf of Tigdor into prohibition territory, Chairman Jen- ltins said that 90 per cent of the bills of the kind under discussion brought before his cc.nmittee were aimed at the very throat of the government. Men full of entiment would appear there, lie declared, and wrge the com- mittee to report a bill and ask con- gress to pass a law to be tested be- fore the supreme court. “Your argument,” said Mr. Jenkins, “4s to put it up to the supreme court. ‘We are not here to report bills that appear to us to be unconstitutional. It is our duty to prevent, iIf possible, the passege of laws that are unconsti- tutional. I do not think that we should listen to you sentimental gentlemen when you try to overpersuade us. We are trying to save this government and do not want to be continually re- porting out bills for the sake of Chris. tlanity or anything else that will be turned. down by the courts. I have been in prohibition territory and have seen how the laws were evaded. There I saw the men with a prayer book in one hand and a knife for an enemy in the other.” - Mr. Nicholson explained that it was not his intention to ask the committee to do anything wrong. Judge Jenkins said that politics had nothing to do with the work of the Judiciary committee, but that there was a dJdiversity of opinion as to whether the various liquor bills were constitutional or not. OPERATES SIXTEEN PLANTS Receiver Named for Big Hardware and Woodenware Concern. New York, Feb. 10.—The appoint- ment of Nicholas H. Colwell as re- ceiver of the Hardware and Wooden- ware Manufacturing company, which owns and operates sixteen hardware and toy manufacturing plants in Con- necticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Pennsyl- vania, Michigan, Ohio and Missouri, is announced. Judge Martin of the Unit- ed States circuit court made the ap- pointmeént on a bill of equity filed by counsel for Orville R. Noble and Ralph B; Cooley of Granville, Mass., who are holders of notes of the cor- poration. The company took over the property and husiness of the National Novelty corporation last year and is capital-. ized at $3,750,000. James R. Burnet, counsel for the receiver, said that its assets are $3,500,000 and liabilities $1,160,000 and that its quick assets would probably exceed ihe liabilities. The company's embarrassment, he said; was due to the contraction of its bank credits during the recent finan- cial stress. A plan for resuming busi- ness is under consideration. WOULD LIMIT THE SALOONS Cardinal Gibbons Believes Prohibition Impossible in Large Cities. New Orleans, Feb. 10.—Cardinal Gibbons, who is stopping here, in an interview on prohibition says: “I am persuaded that it is prac- tically impossible to put prohibition Into’ effect in''any large community and the best means therefore to pro- mote temperance is to limit the num- ber of saloons by high license. I would be in favor of inflicting severe punishment on the proprietors of sa- loons who violated the law in the first instance and in the second instance of “violation 1 would witidraw the license altogether. “In the country places I would sug- gest local option as an excellent means for the repression of intemperance if, in the judgment of the majority of the voters, the sale of liquor should be entirely eliminated. “Laws like prohibition that are cer- tain to be violated had best not be made, for incessant violation draws down upon them disrespect.” "THREE BIDS ACCEPTED. War Department Purchases Several Flying Machines. ‘Washington, Feb. 10.—The secretary of war has approved the recommenda- fion of the board of ordnance and for- tification that bids for furnishing heav- ler than air flying machines to the United States government be awarded es follows: J. Scott of Chicago, for $10,000, to be delivered in 185 days; A. M. Herring of New York, for $20,- 000, to be delivered in 180 days; Wright Bros. of Dayton, O., for $25,000, to be delivered in 200 days. These three were the only bids out of the forty-one received that complied with the requirements of the advertise- ment. They have been examined by a board of experts and are believed to embody the principles of practical fiy- lng machines. It was part of the agreement in issuing the call for bids that none of the particulars of the bids were to be given out for publica- tion but were to be retained as confl- dential. . - Two Perish in Nebraska Fire. Sioux City, Ia., Feb. 10.—In a fire of unknown origin at South Sioux City, Neb., the rooming house of Edward Btreator was burned to the ground. Two lives were lost and five persons injured. FAST TRAIN WRECKED. Guard Rail Saves Coaches From Go- ing Into River. Detroit, Mich.,, Feb. 10.—A heavy fron and cement guard rail.on the ‘Wabash railroad bridge over the Hu- ron river at French Landing, about thirty miles west of here, saved the fast New York-Chicago passenger train, which had been derailed by a sprung rail, from falling into the Hu- ron river, which is forty feet deep at this poiut. The train was moving about thirty ‘miles an hour when it was derailed. The engine did mnot leave the rails;-but all five passenger cars behind the baggage car jumped and when the train was stopped sev- eral of them were resting against the guard rail after haying scraped along ‘against it for-a number of feet. The frightened passengers rushed from the day coach and Pullmans, but it was oon learned that no one had- been injured. They were taken to Romulus and quartered in the hotels and resi:. dences there. The derailment block: aded the line for & number of hours. DEFENDS OUR NAVY Admiral Converse Submits Result of His Investigation. ANSWERS RECENT CRITICISM Fighting 8hips of United States at the Date of Their Design the Best of the World in Their Class and They Are Today the Equal of Any. Washington, Feb. 10.—Admiral Con- verse has submitted to Secretary Met- calf a report upon the results of his |E investigation into the recently pub- lished criticisms of the designs of American naval vessels. It is mot probable that its contents will be made public until the presi- dent has had an opportunity to read the report if then. It may be stated, however, that the report undertakes to demonstrate as clearly as figures, com- parisons of foreign navies and scale drawings can establish the fact that the fighting ships of "the American navy were at the date of their design the -best ships in the world of their class. and that they are today com- parable on even terms with the ships of any other navy. It is declared in the report that everything that human forethought on the part of intelligent and highly trained naval officers could do to insare this result is shown to have heen done by the veteran naval efficers, both line and staff, who per- fected the designs for the vessels of the new navy. Few, if any, of the ob- jections which have been found by later day critics were unknown to the designers of the ships, who consid- ered them while the plans were being prepared, which, it is said, represented the necessary compromise between ex- treme views of different schools of construction. MINOR DETAILS IN DISPUTE Cause of Delay in Japanese-American Negotiations. Tokio, Feh. 10.—The delay in reach- ing a final settlement of the emigra- tlon question betwc:1 Japan and the United States is due to differences be- tween the two governments concern- ing statistics and minor details. The Japanese government in its memorandum of Dec. 31, maintaining the incorrectness of the figures pre- sented by Ambassador O’Brien, which showed an extraordinary number of Japanese entering America since March, replied to-the American mem- crandum with the Japanese figures, showing a wide divergence. The American memorandum of Jan! 25, couched in the friendliest terms, said that it appeared impossible to reconcile the discrerancy in figures end suggested the possibility of frauds. The Japanese government, determined to discover the exact cause of the dis- crepancy, engaged last week in a com- prehensive investigation to unearth possible frauds and it is conceded that some cases have been discovered, but these are insufficient to explain the disparity. This investigation has caused ten days’ delay in the negotiations. The foreign office has pointed out to the Associated Press, however, that while it doubtless would be gratifying to be able to write finis to the vexatious problem it believes it best to clear up the statistics: In the meanwhile no passports will be issued to laborers. The fact that emigration is completely stopped removes ap element of dan- ger. The foreign office is confident of a satisfactory outcome of the question. ALLEGED POSTAL FRAUDS Maine Publisher and Postoffice Clerk Indicted. Portland, Me., Feb. 10.—George Fred- erick Terry, general manager of the Sawyer Publishing company at Water- ville, and Henry W. Boshan, who for a number of years has handled the Becond and third class mail matter in the Waterville postoffice, -were in- dicted in the United States district court for alleged joint comspiracy to defraud the government of postage. It is alleged that the government has been robbed of many thousands of dollars a year for several years by | Terry and Boshan, the amount being as high as $50,000 a year. GUILTY OF CONSPIRACY. Former District Attorney of Oregon Convicted. * Portland, Ore., Feb. ,10.—Former United States District Attorney John H.

Woman Commits Suicide. Philadelphia, Feb. 10.—Miss Harriet Baird Huey, former president of the Philadelphia chapter, Daughters of the ‘American Revolution; committed sui- cide at her home in this city by inhal- ing- illuminaling gas.
