- \ GCHANGE MEETING WITH . FAMOUS LITERARY MAN Judge Spooner Had Novel Experience With Harry Leon Wilson, Author of ““The Spenders.” | Minneapolis Tribrne: | Judge Marshall Spooner of Be-| midji, Minn,, who is registered at| the Hotel Vendome, basked in the presence of literary greatness for a whole day on a recent trip to the | coast before he “tumbled” to the identity of his chance acquaintance. | It was while the judge and a few congenial spirits were playing crib-| bage in the “after cabin™ of the‘i Oriental Limited, that they got mixed up with "a real live genius who was traveling incognito to se-| cure material for another of his charming tales of Western life. He just “butted in,” like an ordinary mortal, and asked if he might take a hand in the game, which short-handed enough to nicely ac- commodate him. He was a tall, well-built, smoota-faced young man | of pronounced blonde type. Set well apart in his massive forehead | were a pair of remarkable eyes, which were never weary. In fact, they were so actively engaged in the observation of every detail of:‘ their owner’s immediate surround-| ings that Judge Spooner began to| suspect the man who “‘chipped in” | was a Pinkerton detective. Conversation touched on all live} topics of the day. The blonde man inadvertantly spoke of the royalties coming to him on a certain book. “What book is that?”” asked Judge | Spooner. " “Why the name of it is “The Spenders.’” ““And you are—" “Harry Leon, Wilson—that’s my name, sir.” . The author of one of the most fascinating of Americaw. novels had] been spendirg the summer with Booth Tarkington in Indiana, dram- atizing the Hoosier novelist’s works. He had just finished a dramatization of Tarkington’s most recent success, *“The Conquest of Canaan.” Mr. Wilson was editor of Puck before he took to writing seriously. “The most unassuming, unosten- tatious man, with absolutely no sug- gestion of the ‘literary feller’ about him that I ever met,” was Judge Spooner’s comment. was To Patrons of Bemidji Public Schools. I have b(_-:en requested by a majority of the school board to announce that owing to the crowded | conditions of our public schools, it will not be possible to admit beginning pupils this spring as has been the custom in former years. All the primary rooms have an enrollment which exceeds the seating capacity—the total seating capacity of the primaryi rooms in 126; enrollment 180, two | primary teachets in the central building occupying the same room. | The fact that we have not room to accomodate a beginning class | this spring is a direct loss to the' {and permitting the district of something like $200 state | . apportionment. It might be well to state here that the total seat- ing capacity of all school rooms owned by the districtis 703, while the total enrollment to date is 910. Could a beginning class be entered this spring the enrollment would reach at least 950 pupils. A. P. Ritchie, Supt. Judge Spooner Considers Cases.

WOULD QUST JEROME New Yorkers Send Petition to| Governor Hughes, MAKE CHARGES OF NEGLECT Allege District Attorney Failed to Prosecute Insurance and Traction Men and Assert That He Favors Contributors to His Campaign Fund. New York, Feb. 28.—Twenty-two specific charges are made in a petition praying for the removal of Willlam T. Jerome as district attorney of the county of New York which was sent to Governor Hughes at Albany by a committee of stockholdegy of the Met- ropolitan Street railway tiirough their chairman, William F. King. The petition alleges that Jerome failed properly to prosecute charges of alleged “jury fixing” and the giving of false testimony in street rallway cases; that the prosecution of viola- tions of the criminal law by the life insurance companies .of New York, as disclosed by the Armstrong commit- tee, had been delayed; that an alleged criminal conspiracy to divert the prop- erty of the Metropolitan Street Rail- way company of New York into the hands of a few men was allowed by Mr. Jerome to go on and hundreds of stockholders robbed of their money and that no attempt was made to punish men alleged to have committed other frauds in connection with New York city traction deals. Mr. Jerome’s statements as to judges are alleged to have been not only improper but scandalous in their nature and to have tended to destroy the confidence of the people in the integrity of their courts. Various other cases of alleged failure of the district attorney to per- form his duty are cited in the com- plaint.. d The petition also charges that con- tributions to the campaign fund to elect Mr. Jerome were received by one of Mr. Jerome's assistants from men connected with large corpora- tlons seeking favors from the district attorney and that the sum, the amount of which is unknown, was consider- ably upwards of $50,000. Among these contributors, it is al- leged, was the attorney for James H. Hyde, who contributed $5,000. It is also alleged that the assistant who received these funds and who has since resigned and entered law prac- tice has undue influence with the dis- trict attorney. FREES MANY PRISONERS. Decision Declares 8t. Louis Court Unconstitutional. Jefterson City,” Mo., Feb. 28.—An opinion, writien by Judge Gantt, has been handed down by the supreme court holding that the law creating the court of general sessions in the city of St. Louis is unconstitutional and the court is invalid and void. More than 700 cases have been tried in the court since its creation in May, 1907, e According to the supreme court’s decision criminals who are confined on pleas of guilty and on sentences imposed by Judge Rodgers of the court of general sessions are illegally restrained of their liberty and are en- titled to freedom. The court’s decision was based on the suit of the school board of St. Louis against the city of St. Louis, in which it was sought to divert moneys collected by the court of general ses- sions to the school fund instead of al- lowing them to go to the state, as pro- vided by the law creating the court.

Dakota, Minn.,, Feb. 28.—The re- mains of John Jones, famous as the “Jim Bludsoe” of the upper Missis- sippi river, have been laid to rest here.

About forty years ago the War- saw caught fire while in the middle of the channel, with several hundred passengers aboard, but Jones headed the steamer for an island in the cen- ter of the river and in the words of the poem, “held her nozzle against the bank until the last galoot was ashore.” TFe was then obliged to make his own way to land through the burning boat. * Although he re- ceived serious Injuries he survived and died of old age.

SHLOONS Government Licensing Bill Before British Pariiament, MOST IMPORTANT MEASURE Provides for the Compulsory Closing ! Within a Certain Time of About One-third of the Retail Liquer Es- tablishments of the Country. London, Feb. 28.—Chancellor of the Exchequer Asquith has introduced the liquor licensing bill in the house of commons. This is the principal gov- ernment measure for the present ses- sion of parliament and involves vast money and labor interests. The cap- Ital invested in licensed property im this country is not less than $1,200,- 000,000, while over 2,000,000 peoble are employed in the traffic. The chancellor, in presenting the bill, de- clared that, in the opinton of the gov- ernment, all’ effective reform in this fleld must aim at the attalnment of two principal points, namely, a pro- grossive reductien of the excessive facilities now allowed for the retail sale of Intoxicating liguors and the gradual ocomplete recovery by’ the state, with due regard for existing in- terests, of its dominion over and its property in a monopoly which it had improvidently allowed to slip from its control. The plansg proposed for the attain- ment of these objects were detailed at considerable length by the chan- cellor. Briefly, the bill provides for the compulsory reduction within a specified period and on a uniform scale of the number of regular saloon licenses throughout the country. The number of salocns to be licensed is based mainly upon the density of the population. In cities it is proposed to allow one saloon for every 700 per- sons and in the country districts one saloon for every 400 perseas. This regulation, it is estimated, will wipe out in the neighborhoed of 80,000 licenses, about one-third of the pres- ent total. = SCORES SAVED BY FIREMEN Number of Persons 8eriously Hurt, Two Probably Fatally. New York, Feb. 28.—Two persons were burned so severely that they may die, a dozen moere were severely hurt and scores were rescued from perilous positions by firemen in two early morning fires.

The flames were first noticed on the third floor. upper floors were aroused the fire had spread throughout the third floor, cut- ting off all escape by the stairways. Even before the firemen arrived the fire escapes were crowded with scantily clad and badly frightened men and women, many of them carry- ing children in their arms. So close- ly were the tenants crowded on the fire escapes that the openings were choked and they remained there help- less until the firemen raised ladders and took them down to the street. Several persons who were caught by the rush of flames on the third floor were badly burned. Calegro Bar- bareite and his daughter Lena, aged nineteen, inhaled flames and are in a critical condition. Several others who were taken to a hospital suffering from burns and bruises will recover. The second serious fire was in an apartment house at 247 East One Hun- dred and Fortieth street. Forty per- sons were removed from the building by policemen and firemen. Refuses to Pardon Labor Leaders. ‘Washington, Feb. 28.—The presi- dent has denied pardons in the cases of P. D. Lenihan, M. J.
