FIREMEN'S MASQUERADE WILL BE GIVEN FEB. 21 Eighth Annual Ball Promises to Be the Best Ever Held by the 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- nixlgham, E. H. Cornwall, H. Doran, Bart Stafford. Everybody in the city should buy a ticket to this dance and thereby assist one of the most worthy organi- zations 1n the city. 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.

These photos were taken before the body was disturbed or moved.” Sheriff Walsh produced the pictures in court. Mr. Walsh further testified that the grass .about the body of Williams and near the shot gun beside the body was not disturbed; laying the foundation for the belief that the gnn had been laid there after the shooting. John Samuelson was the next wit- ness called. He testified to the tak- ing of the revolver from Big Falls police. He also said the revolver was loaded. He later identified the | revolyer and cartridges exhibited. Ed.Bennett and George Garaneboe each testified to visiting Williams’ home and corroborated Sheriff Walsh’s testimony as to condition of premises, the grass undisturbed and the position of the body and gun, It looks as though the state will be successful in the introduction of all photographs, which they have of the scene of the tragedy, and which are very damagiug. At 4 o’clock this afternoon but three witnesses had been examined. Two photographs were admitted to evidence, which showed the dead (body of Williams lying face down- ward; the other a reproduction of the premises around the Williams’ home. Mr. Scrutchin, the defendant’s attorney, objected to the introduc- tion of testimony indicatory of the alleged self-confession” of Godatte, claiming that it was improper for. the court toadmit any of these confessions made while the prisoner was handcuffed and in the custody of the sheriff. Judge Spooner reserved the ruling and permitted the further evidence to be introduced by witnesses giving testimony regarding said self con- fession. Another witness was placed upon the stand who gave distances and position in and around the Williams home and the place where Williams was killed. At present,sindications point that the state will be allowed to intro- duce most of the damaging photo- graphs where Godatte illustrates how he killed Williams. Dancers Attention. For the benefit of those attending the dance this evening, the Be- midji High School Athletics Associa- tion will serve a supper at the Win- ters’ block from 11:30 o’clock until 1.30.

WOULD DRIVE OUT JAPS. Chinese in Manchuria Make War on Mikado's Soldiers. Portland, Ore., Feb. 21.—Advices have been received in Portland from Hongkong and other Chinese cities that a species of guerrilla warfare has broken out in Manchuria between’ the Japanese soldiers who make up the army of occupation and the native Chinese, who are bent on driving out of the country the representatives of the power whom they fear as an en- croaching menace. It is said in these advices that sev- eral conflicts have already occurred between the soldiers and the people and that the Japanese have been driven entirely from two towns. It is said that one of the causes of the grievance the Chinese have against the Japanese is the fact that the latter are trying to get control of the railways, the revenues and tele- graphs in Manchuria. 3 The fact that trouble exists be- tween their country and Japan is well known to well informed Chinese of this city and all of them are eagerly awaiting developments. They look upon the situation as serious and some of them go so far as to say that a long and bitter struggle has begun. HARRIMAN WINS OUT Given Decision Against Fish in Iltinois Central Litigation. INJUNCTION IS DISSOLVED Stock Held by the Unign Pacific Rail- road Company and the Railroad Se- cufities Company Van Be Voted at Directors’ Meeting. Chicago, Feb. 21.—H. H. Harriman gained a complete vietory in the IIli- nois Central litigation which has been in the superior court since last Octo- ber. Judge Ball rendered a decision dissolving the temporary injunction granted to Stuyvesant Fish by which 286,231 shares of stock were enjoined from being voted at the annual meet- ing of the Illinois Central Railroad company. This stoek, which was held by the Union Pacific Railroad company and the Railroad Securities company of New Jersey can now be voted at the annual meeting which will be held in this city March 2. The decision of Judge Ball was quite ex- tended, amounting to about 10,000 words. He says, in part: “No act prejudicial to the Illinois Central or to its stockholders is shown to have been donme unless the mere fact that the Union Pacific and the Railroad Securities company own 29 per cent of the stock of the Illinois Central be considered to be so. Since the retirement of Mr. Fish from the presidency the policy of the company has been the same and its executive officers, with one exception caused by death, have remained the same from that day to this. “The relations between the Union Pacific and the Illinois Central are now what they were when Mr. Fish was in power and assisted in shaping and consented to such relations. Nor is any change intended, if the affida- vits of well known and reputable men be considered as true. The bill, how- ever, charges many things which may happen to the detriment of the Illi- nois Central and its stockholders if the Union Pacific and the Securities company be permitted to vote at such meeting; but no facts are alleged or proved which even tend to bring about such results. Courts of equity act on facts alleged and proved and not on fears or supposed prophesies. If it were not for the fact that the name of Harriman is a name to conjure with these allegations would not be taken s0 seriously. Charges Not in Concrete Form. “There are many things stated in the bill as to the intention of the de- fendants which, if put in force, or even attempted to be put in force, would call upon the court to inter- vene; but a diligent search of this record fails to show that such things exist in any concrete form.” The court then entered upon a long discussion of various statutes regard- ing the holding of stock by corpora- tions in other corporatioms, declaring finally that such holdings are not pro- hibited nor opposed to public policy. He then said: “The right of the Railroad Securi- ties company to vote its Illinois Cen- tral stock is unimpaired by the fact that the Union Pacific owns prac- tically all of its stock. 8o long as the voting power of the Securitles { company is secured in a lawful man- ner and for lawful purposes it is im- material who. ogas its stock.” The decision further asserted that the Union Pacific and the Illinois Cen- tral are not competing but connecting lines and that the Union Pacific un- der its charter and the laws of Utah hag a elear right to own shares of stock of Illinois Central, which it pur- chased in 1906, and that it has the essential right to vote that stock at meetings of the stockholders of the Illinois Central. The attorneys for Mr. Fish agreed that the opinion of Judge Ball could Rot be appealed from. “It is a non-appealable order,” said Attorney Farrar, between puffs from & large black Havana. “The merits of the case must now be tried, a de- eree entered and then we will be able to take an appeal‘" RECEIVERSHIP MAY RESULT 8uit to Foreclose Mortgage on New York Street Railway. New York, Feb. 21.—A move which pay result in placing the Third Ave- nue Raflroad company, which oper- ates fourteen miles of street surface railroads in Westchester county and the borough of the Bronx, in the bands of receivers has been begun. The Central Trust company gave no- tice that it had begun a suit to fore- close a morigage of $50,000,000 which the road gave to the Morton Trust company in 1900. The Third Avenue road is leased for 9§99 years to the Metropolitan Street Railway com- pany, which is now in the hands of raceivers. It is controlled by the In- terborongh-Metropoliten company. Passes Thirty-nine-Foot Stage. Evansviile, Ind., Feb. 21.—The Ohio river has passed the 89-foot stage and is still rising slowly. Snow has fallen throughout Ecuthern Indiana and parts of Kentucky and railroad trains are delayed by the heavy drifts. At Shawneetown, 111, there is some fear for the levees if another flood should follow: The Wabash river is rising at "‘New Harmony. ALLEGE SHORTAGE OF MEN Railroads Ask Application of Nine- Hour Law Be Postponed. Washington, Feb. 21.—A proposi- tion very serious to many thousands of people residing at and in the vicin- ity of small railroad stations through- out the country is presented to the interstate commerce commission in an informal petition in which the Wa- bash Railroad company and others ask for an extension of the time of the going into effect of the nine-hour Jaw, ‘Which applies to rallway em- ployes who have the direction of movements of trains. It is declared in thé petition that unless the order of extension is made, either by the commission or by congress, the only alternative will be the closing of a large number of stations on the vari- ous roads. This action, it is recog- nized, will impair the efficiency of the service and result in public incon- venience and interfere with the prompt movement of trains, but the officials assert that they see no way out of the difficulty into which they will be plunged by the operation of the law. It is pointed out in the petition that in order to comply with the provisions of the law the Wabash company alone would have to employ an additional telegraph operator at each of the 245 stations on its line. Thus far the company says that it has not been able to secure the services of efficient and competent operators in such num- bers as will enable it to comply with the act. DEMAND WELL SUPPLIED. Skilled Laborers Should Keep Away From Canal Zone. Washington, Feb. 21.—Reductions in force are being made by the isth- mian canal commission in the divi- sions of building construction and that of mechanics, also in the clerical force on the isthmus. Notwithstand- ing these facts there has been a con- siderable number of unemployed me- chanics and clerks migrating to the isthmus recently as a result of the commercial depression in the United States, but their chances of securing employment are remote. The com- mission is anxious that prominence be given these facts, as any vacancies that may have to be filled are given to former employes who have not left the isthmus. Americans who do come, however, and fail to secure work with the commission can seldom find other employment, as the vol- ume of other business is not large and the local supply of skilled labor is amply sufficient to meet all de- mands. ADMIRAL EVANS IS ILL. Rear Admiral Thomas in Command of Battleship Fleet. Callao, Peru, Feb. 21.—The Amer- ican battleship fleet has arrived here. Rear Admiral Evans is still in poor health and Rear Admiral Charles M. Thomas, commander of the Second squadron ‘and Third division of the fleet, has assumed charge of ihe ves- sels. The American warships had a suc- cessful and uneventful passage up from Punta Arenas. The welcome extended by the peo- ple of Callao was enthusiastic. Vast crowds -had come down from Lima and the docks and headlands were thronged. Both Callao and Lima are in holiday attire and the only topic of conversation is the brilliant spectacle of the American armada as the white ‘warships swung into port. An exten- sive programme of entertainment has been arranged by the Peruvian au- thorities and people for the American visitors ‘during their stay of ten days. Invalid Burned to Death. Kansas City, Feb. 21.—Wardie Han- ahan, twenty years old, an invalid, was _burned to death in the home of his mother in Kansas City, Kan. His clothing caught fire from an overheat- ed stove. He was unable because of his malady to speak or move any part of his body and when his mother found him he was a mass of flames. The ‘flames were smothered Wwith a blanket, but he died without regaining consciousness. Pettibone in Serious Condition. Boise, Tda., Feb. 21.—George A. Pet- ifhone, recently acquitted of the charge of complicity in the murder of ex-Governor Steunenberg, will sub- mit to a serious operation at San Diego, Cal,, according to information received by his former attorneys here.

Manila, Feb.. 21.—Major General Leonard Wood, in command of the military division of the Philippines, 1s about to leave for Europe on a six months’ leave of absence. Major Gen- sral John F. Weston will assume com- mand of the division during his ab- sence. Would Impeach Judge Wilfley. ‘Washington, Feb.' 21.—In the house of representatives Mr. Waldo of New York made a demand for the impeach- ment of Judge Lebbius R. Wilfley of the United States court for China at Shanghai. He presented and had read articles of impeachment. Merchant Shot and Robbed. Colorado Springs, Colo., Feb. 21.— Otto Fehringer, a druggist and whole- sale liquor dealer, was slugged, shot and robbed on a country road three miles from this cky by an unknown man who had induced the merchant to accompany him to the place on the pretext that an uncle had some fine wine which he wished to sell. Fehrin- ger was shot through the lung and it is feared the wound will prove fatal. The robber secured $1,600 in jewelry, bills and checks. Racing Autos Stuck in Snow. Fort Wayne, Ind, Feb. 21.—The American car in the New York to Paris automobile race, driven by Mon- tague Roberts, has arrived at Ken- dallville. The machine was stalled in the snowdrifts east of that city the greater part of the night. St. Chaf- fray, with the Freneh car, came in a short time later. Farmers along the route turned out to shovel away the blockading drifts for the American. NOT AGAINST RUSSIA Turkey Explains Military Opera: tions on the Frontier. SULTAN NOT SEEKING WAR Present Movement of Troops Made Necessary by the Threatening In- ternal Situation in Armenia and Kurdestan. St. Petersburg, Feb. 21.—A repre- sentative of the foreign office declares that Russia has received definite as- surances that the Turkish military preparatiors in Northwestern Turkey in the vicinity of the Russian border were not directed against Russia, but ‘were made necessary by the threat- ening internal situation in this region, which includes Armepia and Kur- destan. The assurance has been con- veyed also that the sultan has no wish to quarrel with Russia. The foreign ofiice looks with disfa- vor upon the bellicose attitude as- sumed by a portion of the Russian press, as this tends to complicate an international situation already in a sufficiently delicate stage. Whether the Turks believe themselves to be confronted with a revival of the Ar- menian revolutionary movement is not stated, but the recent discovery of a large quantity of arms in the prov- ince of Van may be recalled in this connection. The above assurances have received due consideration here and it was further explained that the steps Wwhich the general staff is taking in the Caucasus should in no sense be regarded as a menace to Turkey, but simply as precautionary measures which the military authorities nat- urally must adopt in view of this con- siderable concentration of Turkish troops, regardless of the pacific object of the movement. The hope is en- tertained here that these assurances will put an end to the alarming ru- mors regarding the situation on the Turko-Russian frontier that have been circulated abroad. Takahira at White House. ‘Washington, Feb. 21—The formal reception of Baron Takahira as am- bassador of Japan to the United States took place at the White House.
