Department. ‘The members of the Bemidji Fire department will give their eighth annual masked ball in the city opera house on Friday evening, February 21. Heretofore the masked ball has always been given on Feb- ruary 22(Washington’s birthday) but as that notable event falls on Saturday, it was decided to give| the dance on the evening before so there would be no dancing on the Sabbath. No pains are being spared to make the forthcoming dance a suc- cess in every way. Prof. Syming- ton’s full orchestra will furnish the music for the occasion, which insures the best in the city in musical lines. The following are the committees who have the dance in charge: Floor Committee—R. Russel, A. Gould, C. S. Dailey, A. Doran. Special Committee—Gary Bren- nan, John Cline. Arrangements—George Fleming, J. J. Doran, M. Downs, M. F. Cun- ningham, E. H. Cornwall, H. Doran, Bart Stafford.

Chicago, Feb. 20.—(Special to Pioneer.)— E. H. Harriman today gained] a complete victory in the Illinois higher court in the case of the Illinois Central litigation, which has been in the courts since last | October. Judge Ball today rendered a decision dissolving the temporary in- junction granted to Stuyvesant Fish last fall, by which injunction 286,- 231 shares of stock were enjoined from being voted at the annual meeting of the Illinois Central Rail- road company. This stock, which was held by the Union Pacific railroad and the Railroad securities company of New Jersey, can now be voted at the annual meeting of the company, which will be held in this city on March 2nd. The case has been a closely con- tested one and the decision will be one, which will have far reaching effects on the handling of railroad shares of stock and securities. Personal Property Taxes. County Treasurer G. H. French is busy receiving and receipting for personal property taxes, which be- came due January 1st of this year. Personal property taxes must be paid not later than February 29, to avoid the penalty of 10 per cent which attaches after that date. As is the usual custom there is a great rush the last day for the pay- ment of the taxes before they be- come delinquent. It would be quite an accomodation to Treasurer French as well as a saving of time to the business men of Bemidji, if they would pay their taxes within the next few days and not wait un- til the last day.

Russell was at Big Falls yes- terday, where he appeared as attor- ney for the contestants iu five swamp land cases, Miss Hattie Haldeman of this city acted as commissioner and took the testimony. W.

ON GROUND OF INSANITY. 8aid Marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Thaw Will Be Annulled. Pittsburg, Feb. 20.—Following on the heels of the report from New York that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw and Hary Kendall Thaw- are to be legally separated comes the rumor that the marriage of this unfortunate couple, like that of the sister of Harry Thaw, the former Countess of Yarmouth, is o’clock. to be annulled and that the action will be brought in the courts of Allegheny ! { dounty, where {he (wo were marrled. The laws of the state of Pennsyl- vania provide that an insane person cannot legally wed. The Thaws will make a claim that {f Harry Thaw was insane when he killed Stanford White, as the New York courts decided he ‘was, then he was aleo insane when he married Bvelyn Nesbit. The Thaws, it 1s declared here, are very glad to accept this loophole through which legally to separate the couple. It is said that Bvelyn Nesbit Thaw is equally pleased and that the only person who objects to the arrange- } ment is the man now confined in the asylum at Matteawan, who still has an insane passion for the little Dresden doll whom he made his wife. FIERCE FIGHT IN MOROCCO Moors Attack French Column in a Narrow Defile. Paris, Feb. 20.—A dispatch from Vice Admiral Philibert, the French naval commander in Morocco, says that on Feb. 16 and 17 the French had a serious battle with the Moors fifteen miles southeast of Fedala. The French had two officers and several soldiers killed and three officers and twenty men wounded. The casualties of the Moors were heavy. The French column, which was commanded by Colonel Taupin, was attacked by the Moors in a narrow defile. The en- counter was marked by a series of fierce struggles at the point of the bayonet. In an. engagement between troops of General d’Amade’s forces and the Madaghra tribesmen the casualties sustained by the enemy were heavy. General d’Amade was assisted by the i Mzab tribesmen, who surrendered re- cently. ALL TREFIC INTERRUPTED Chicago Still Suffering From Effects of Blizzard. Chicago, Feb. 20.—The blizzard which has been raging twenty-four hours and which almost paralyzed all transportation facilities in Chicago and suburbs is still in progress, al- though the greatest fury of the storm has passed. A light snow is falling and is piled into deep drifts by a strong wind. Traffic on all surface and elevated street car lines as well as on steam roads is greatly delayed in spite of the strenuous efforts of the officials of the various lines, who have large squads of men working in an endeavor to Neep the tracks clear of snow. Even worse delays were experienced by through trains from the West, which arrived here all the way from one to eight hours late. Detroit, Mich., Feb. 20.—The bliz- | zard which swept down upon the low- er portion of Michigan from the west still prevails with great severity and already the snowfall ranges from eight inches in Detroit to eighteen inches in the southwestern section of the state. Accompanied by a twenty to thirty-mile an hour wind the snow is drifting badly through the country dis- tricts and roads are badly blockaded. DIL MGACPOLY PROPOSED German Government May Go Into Petroleum Business. Berlin, Feb. 20.—The imperial treas- ury department is considering the pos- sibility of a government petroleum monopoly. No decision has yet been reached, but experts continue to study plans for the taking over of the busi- ness in Germany of the Standard Oil company, as well as that of this com- pany’'s Russian and Roumanian com- petitors. Baron von Sedlitz, leader of the Free Conservatives in the Prus- slan diet, who has made a special study of the subject, says the empire would have to make an initial outlay of $18,000,000 for oil plants, tanks and the necessary tank steamers and cars and that yearly profits of from $10,- 000,000 to $12,000,000 would be ex- pected. The baron is of the opinion that the government could deal success- fully with the probable refusal of the Standard Oil company to supply crude petroleum at a reasonable rate and he thinks the requirements of the gov- ernment in American oil would be supplied by the Texas rivals of the Standard Oil company. Experts have found that the oils of Roumania, Ga- licia and Russia cannot be used suc- cessfully with the burners generally employed in Germany without a con- siderable mixture of American petro- leum, consequently the projected mo- nopoly must include the buying of about 200,000 tons of American oil a year. The imperial treasury finds this matter full of difficulties, but its ex- amination will be continued along with the study of the possibilities of creating a state monopoly in alcohol. PRELIMINARY MOVE MADE Pullman Company to Stop Sale of Liquor on Cars. Chicago, Feb. 20.—The Pullman Pal- ace Car company is going to discon- tinue the serving of alcoholic liquors in its buffet and dining cars. An order has been issued at Phila- delphia against serving liquors on the Pullman buffet cars cn the Philadel- phia and Reading railroad and it is believed that the company will grad- ually extend the scope of this order until all railroad systems on which its cars are used have become “dry.” This move has been contemplated and discussed by high officials of the company in Chicago for some time. The many and varied questions in- volved have required the company to move with extreme caution so as not to antagonize any of the conflicting interests and at the same time enable the company to pursue what it be- leved to be for the best interest of the people at large and of the com- pany itself. The initial order issued at Philadelphia will draw the com- ment of the press and pulpit and &7 able the company to properly* public opinion. FEARS GREAT STRIKE President Instructs Commission to " Be Prepared to Mediate. WESTERN ROADS MAKE MOVE Notify Officials of Brotherhoods That Reduction in Wages Will Go Into Effect Shortly—Unions Affected Pro- pose to Put Up a Stubborn Fight. ‘Washington, Feb. 20.—President Roosevelt has sent a letter to the in- terstate commerce commission in which he indicates the importance of the commission’s action with respect ito the limitation of the hours of la- bor of railway employes and points out the possibility of serious differ- ences arising between the railroad 'companies and their employes with respect to wages and hours of labor. The president strongly deprecates the making of any issue between railroad ‘companies and their employes in the matter of wages if that can be avoid- ed; instructs the commission to se- cure all possible information in ad- vance so that the responsibility may be fairly placed and to hold itself in readiness to mediate. EMPLOYES WILL RESIST. Railroads West of Chicago Ask Re- duction in Wages. Chicago, Feb. 20.—Notice of a re- duction in wages of the employes of all railroad lines west of Chicago has been given officials of the unions hav- ing wage agreements with the rail- roads. President A. B. Stickney and Charles H. F. Smith, receivers of the Chicago Great Western railroad, have served notice on W. J. Trost, business agent of the Switchmen’s union, that a general wage conference has been called for March 8 at St. Paul. The movement on the part of the rallroads threaiens to open a wide- spread wage controversy. Engineers, firemen, brakemen, switchmen and conductors have agreed to make a stubborn resistance against attempts to cut their wages. The Cincinnati Southern railroad served notice on its switchmen sev- eral days ago that it wants the wage schedule question discussed with a view to reducing the present scale. J. B. Connors, vice president of the Switchmen’s union, left Detroit for Cincinnati to confer with local union officials. Officials of the Gould system issued orders from Denver to reduce the wages of all employes on its lines dating from March i4. Votes to Resist Reduction. Local No. 1 of the Order of Rail way Conductors of Chicago has voted unanimcusly to resist all efforts to reduce the present scale. The wage committee of the Brotherhood of Lo- comotive Firemen has issued a call for a wage conference to be held in Cleveland next week. A large num- ber of lay delegates from the various locals will be asked to bring in re- ports from various sections. Most of the railroad employes’ un- lons have wage agreements contain- ing a proviso that a thirty days’ no- tice shall be given before any changes in the wage scale shall be made. It is in compliance with this provision that the railroads are sending out {the notices. It is -more than likely that em- ployes of the Great Western will de- mand a hearing in court, as the Erd- man act provides that controversies hetween employes and officials of a railroad in the hands of a receiver shall be heard in court. BLAME PLACED ON UNION Stove Manufacturers Issue Statement About Closed Plants. Detroit, Mich., Feb. 20.—The De- troit, Michigan, Peninsular and Art Stove Manufacturing companies of this city, which employ between 6,000 and 7,000 men, have issued a joint statement to the public pointing out that the demands of 280 stove mount- ers, which they consider unreason- able, are keeping 7,000 other men out of work. Ordinarily the stove works open for the season about Jan. 10. In the conference with employes at the close of last year agreements were reached with all branches of them except the mounters, who, the companies say, demanded that the full force must be employed in shifts i{instead of the number the concerns had employment for. The companies unite in stating that as soon as the Mounters’ unjon concedes them the right to lay off men for whom there is no work the four establishments ‘will open. REPORTS BILL FAVORABLY Senator Nelson Sends Drainage Meas- ure to Senate. ‘Washington, Feb. 20.—Senator Nel- son, acting chairman of the public Jands committee, has reported favor- pbly on the general federal drainage ill. The committee, after going into the question of the benefits to be de- rived from federal drainage, because the federal government i8 far better equipped than that of the states, de- clares that regardless of any legal questions the joint co-operation of the federal government and one or more states becomes necessary in any large undertaking for reclamation of swamp or overflowed 1inds. TO TEST THE NATAL ACT. fwo Japanese Under Arrest at New Westminster, B. C.. New Westminster, B. C., Feb. 20.— The Natal act, passed unanimously by the provincial govérnment, was test- ed when the two Japanese from Port- land whko on Friday last insisted on entering British Columbia were fined $500 each and sa}iteneed to twelve T e ARe—This is the chosen by the Japanese governmeént to make the test, were given (he op- tion of putting up two sureties and $250 each that they would leave the country immediately: They refused this chance of escape, as instructed by their counsel, and will continue the fight on appeal. Nelther man can speak a word of English and both were clearly at- tempting to enter the country in defi- ance of the act. Counsel for the pro- vincial government asked that full penalty be imposed that the sentence might be a salutary one. Chief Justice Hunter, counsel for the Japanese, who is really acting at the instance of the Ottawa govern- ment, will initiate habeas corpus pro- ceedings. JAPAN SUBMITS ANSWER Agrees to Suggestions of Amer- ica on Emigration. Tokio, Feb. 20.—The memorandum of the Japanese government in reply to that of the United States on the subject of emigration has been hand- ed to Ambassador O’Brien. It is un- derstood that it agrees in general terms with a number of suggestions made by the’ American government and requires a further restriction of emigration by the practical prohibi- tion of laborers. The Japanese gov- ernment points out that the restric- tions already enforced, including the closing of emigration to Canada, Mex- fco. and the Hawalian islands, will make further complaints from Amer- ica almost impossible. Every evidence goes to prove that the Japanese government has been unsparing in its efforts to avoid fur- ther complications rising from the emigration question, but the govern- ment is facing a powerful opposition from the ‘emigration companies, who are behind a proposed resolution in the diet to censure the foreign policy of Viscount Hayashi, minister of for- elgn affairs, toward China, America and Canada. Should the resolution be introduced in the diet it will probably be defeat- ed by a narrow margin. Its passage ‘would certainly entail the resignation { of the cabinet. Shou'd the cabinet be changed the best infermed Japanese believe that a new administration would closely follow the emigration policy of Minister Haya hi. BOLD DIAMOND ROBBERY. Thieves Secure $15000 Worth of Gems in Broad Daylight. New Orleans, Feb. 20.—A §$15,000 diamond robbery in broad daylight in the heart of New Orleans, with hun- dreds of persons passing at the time, was perpetrated at the jewelry estab- lishment of M. Waldhorn & Co., Conti and Royal streets. Two men drove up in front of the store in a buggy. One of them alight- ed and smashed one of the large plate | glass windows in the front of the store. He quickly seized two trays filled with diamonds and, jumping back into the buggy, was driven off. A large crowd started in pursuit, but the men, buggy and horse were soon lost to sight in a cloud of dust in th old French quarter. 2 The proprietors of the jewelry store say the trays contained 112 diamond rings. DENIED BY GEORGE GOULD Report That Receiver Would Be Asked for Missouri Pacific. New York, Feb. 20.—Reports which have been circulated in.the West: for Beveral days to the effect that a re- ceivership was about to be asked for the Missouri Pacific railroad were given positive denial by George J. Gould, president of the road. “There is absolutely not a word of truth in these reports or any reports of that kind involving this property,” saild Mr. Gould. “Receivership pro- ceedings have not been thought of, or even dreamed of, and there is not even the most remote possibility that they will be.” Wholesale Robbery Alleged.

MEMBER IN FACETIOUS M0OD Knowland of California Moves That the Biblical Inscription, “I Know That My Redeemer Liveth,” Be Put on Clearing House Certificates. Washington, Feb. 20.—President Roosevelt was overridden by the bouse committee on coinage, weights and measures when, by unanimous vote, it was agreed to report favor- ably the McKinley (Ill.) bill requir- ing the restoration to gold and silver coins of the national motto, “In God We Trust.” During the discussion Representative Knowland of Califor- nia, being in a facetious mood, moved that the committee further recom- mend the placing upon all clearing house certificates the Biblical inscrip- tion, “I know that my Redeemer liv- eth.” ASKS CANNON TO MAKE GOOD Speaker Invited to Show His Interest in the Toilers. | Washington, Feb. 20.—As the result of Mr. Boutell’s laudatory remarks of Speaker Cannon in the house of rep- resentatives Mr. Henry of Texas said | that if Mr. Boutell's statements were | sincere and truly represented the speaker’s attitude toward the toilers of the country the speaker would give the weight of his influence to much neded legislation. Mr. Henry dis- avowed any intention to detract from the praise which had been accorded Mr. Cannon, but he said there were several matters that could be enacted into Jaw within the next few days or weeks “If the speaker would but re- spond to the demand of the country and the demand of the Democrats of the house.” One of these was the employers’ liability bill, which, he said, the president had urged in his recent “pyrotechnical message.” The other was the bill requiring notice be- fore injunctions shall be issued by federal judges. “One of your candi- dates for president, Secretary Taft,” he said, “has declared in favor of it and the president himself has asked congress to pass it.” Mr. Henry asserted that if Speaker Cannon wished to reflect the views of would aid in passing thése measures and to that end Mr. Henry pledged the solid Democratic vote of the house.
