Congressman Abraham Lincoln Brick of South Bend, Ind., who died yesterday, is the fourth member of the lower house to suc- cumb, while the morality among the senators is even more remarkable. William J. Bryan of Florida died on March 22, less than three months after his election. William Pinkney Whyte of Maryland died on March 17, Redfield Procter of Vermont on March 74, Asbury C. Latimer of South Carolina on Feb, 20, Stephen R. Mallory of Florida on Dec. 20, 1907, and John T. Morgan and Ed- mund W. Pettus, both from Ala- bama, passed away during the sum- mer recess. OBSERVATIONS. [By “Doc”] Emma Goldman has “Crossed the line.” We predict much wind and threatening conditions in many cities. The whisk-broom shape of Mr. Hughes’ beard is probably the basis of his friends’ claim that he will sweep everything before him. In going after the race-track gamblers and neglecting Wall street variety, Governor Hughes is like the man fishing for whales with a mosquito net. Is that fearful concoction sold at soda fountains under such varying names as “Sondi,” “Soundea” and “Sundea” named after the former ball player and very much present evangelist, Billy Sunday? If so it must be one of the instances where the uses of adversity are sweet. CALL IT A SMALL MATTER Jape Try to-Smooth Over Attack on American Consulate. Peking, April 1 .—The American le- gation here has recelved no informa- tion regarding the invasion of the American consulate at Mukden by Japanese and the resultant encounter between the Japanese and the native staff of the consulate. The Japanese legation also was questioned and here partial verification was obtained, to- gether with expressions of regret that such a “small matter” should have been cabled to the United States. An official of the Japanese legation quoted a Japanese newspaper pub- lished in Mukden as saying that Wil- lard D. Straight, the American consul general there, was an excitable man, glven to exaggerating trifles and diffi- cult to deal with. Otherwise the le- gatfon minimized the occurrence and deplored it. A court of inquiry has been ordered by M. Kato, the Japanese consul gen- eral at Mukden, and a full report will not be submitted to either Washing- ton or the king pending the report of this court. It is hoped that this in- vestigation will lead to an acceptable explanation and proper reparation. Former Broker Ends His Life. Chicago, April 1: .—Lorenz D. Knee- land, fifty-five years old, former senior member of the firm of Kneeland, Clem- ent & Curtis, brokers, committed sui- cide at his home here by shooting himself in the head with a revolver. Mr. Kneeland was a member of the Chicago board of trade and the Chi- cago Stock Exchange, but retired from active business about a year and 2 half ago and had been in ill health for some time. Wife Dead; Husband Dying. Pittsburg, April 1 .—Mrs. Emma Reiss, aged thirty-two years, was found shot to death and her husband, Will- iam F. Relss, forty-two years, propri- etor of the Old Economy hotel at Hconomy Station, near here, fatally ‘wounded, with a bullet through his temple. From present indications it is apparently a case of murder and at- tempted suicide on the part of the thusband. Billek Denied a Rehearing. Springfield, IIl, April 1 .—The su- preme court has denied a petition for & rehearing of the case of Herman Billek, found guilty of murder in Chi- cago. Unless Governor Deneen or the state board of pardons intervenes Bil- fek will hang in Chicago April 24. THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER ENEMIES OF HUMANITY President Urges Legislation for Suppression of Anarchists. BRIEF MESSAGE ON SUBJECT Executive’s Recommendations Accom- pany Report of Attorney General Bonaparte Reviewing the Legal Phases of the Question. Washington, April 1..—In one of the shortest messages which he has yet transmitted to congress President Roosevelt called the attention of that body to the necessity for further legis- lation on the subject of anarchy. With the message he transmitted a report reviewing the legal phases of the question by Attorney General Bona- parte. The president says: “When compared with the suppres- sion of anarchy every other question sinks into insignificance. The an- archist is the enemy of humanity, the enemy of all mankind and his is a deeper degree of criminality than any other. No paper published here or abroad should be permitted circulation in this country if it propagates an- archistic opinions.” Besides his direction to the post- master general to exclude from' the mails such publications as “La Ques* tione Sociale” President Roosevelt, in a letter to Attorney General Bona- parte asking for an opinion on the legal phases of the subject, says he has had the particular case called to the attention of the governor of New Jersey by Secretary Root that the gov- ernor may proceed under the state laws. The opinion of the attorney general, Wwhich the president transmits to con- gress, embraces a discussion of the whole subject from many legal angles. His first conclusion is that the article in question, which advocates the use of arms and dynamite in annihilating police and soldiers that anarchy may prevail, constitutes a_“seditious libel” and is “undoubtedly a crime at com- mon law.” He declares that there is no federal statute which makes such publications an offense against the United States and that the federal courts conse- quently have no jurisdiction in the matter. That there is full power in the possession of congress to make such publications criminal, the attor- ney general asserts, and quotes Chief Justice Fuller of the supreme court and Mr. Justice Field -as authority. FIVE KILLED IN COLLISION Funeral Carriage Struck by Electric Train Near Chicago. Chicago, April 1\—When an electric train on the Chicago, Elgin and Au- rora railroad struck a carriage, which was part of a funeral procession, near Maywood four women were killed and the driver so badly injured that he died later. The dead are: Mrs. F. Rohloff, sixty-five years old; Mrs. Paul Rohloff, her daughter-in-law, twenty- nine years old; Mrs. Charles Dressel; Mrs, Minnie Pottshoff, thirty-five years old, and Frank Newman. All were residents of Chicago. The carriage was cut in two and the rear portion was carried several hundred feet along the tracks before the train could be stopped. The train proceeded after the accident and the first notice of the occurrence was re- celved from Wheaton, several miles further west, when an official of the raflroad company telephoned to May- wood asking that ambulances be sent to the scene. ‘When the undertakers arrived the occupants of the other carriages were caring for Newman and endeavoring to extricate the mangled bodies from the wrecked carriage. COURT ORDERS ACQUITTAL Directed Verdict in Case of Michigan Legislator. Detroit, Mich., April 1..—Judge Con- nelly, in the recorder’s court, has or- dered a verdict of not guilty in the case of Representative Charles E. ‘Ward, formerly of Bancroft, Mich., who was charged with manslaughter in connection with the death here from an illegal operation on April 29, 1907, of Miss Edith Presley, a proof- reader in the state senate at Lansing. Representative Ward’s trial began March 31. On the conclusion of the prosecution’s case Ward's attorneys moved that the case be taken from the jury and Ward discharged on the ground that the prosecution had mnot succeeded in proving the commission of a crime, nor connecting him in any way with the crime which they allege to have been committed. Judge Con- nelly’s action followed. It is taken for granted that the manslaughter charge against Dr. George R. Fritch of this city in con- nection with Miss Presley’s death will now be ‘dropped. BITTERLY DENOUNCES JURY Court Criticises Verdiot of “Acquittal in Murder Case. Detroit, Mich., April 1\.—This is one of the vilest miscarriages of jus- tice that has ever been heard in this community,” said Judge Phelan in the recorder’s court when a jury found eighteen-year-old Percy Bowin of Woodville, Ont., not guilty of the mur- der Jan. 7 of sixty-three-year-old Mrs. Cornelia Welch, proprietress of a dis- reputable house, which Bowin had fre- quented. After his arrest Bowin made a confession that he killed the woman and stole and pawned her diamonds. During the trial he repudiated his statements, although the police offered much evidence to confirm them. Judge Phelan told the jurors they ought to be ashamed of themselves and that the community should be thankful that they are barred from trylng any more criminal cases for years, AN BLOOD OF ALL IMPURITIES Try this Simple Mixture Which Anyone Can Easily Prepare at Home. All medical authorities are agreed that the blood is the great source of disease or of health in the human system. If the blood is pure, _the individual is strong and healthy, if the blood 1s impure or diseased then there is sickness or decay in the whole system. Rheumatism is strictly a blood disease. Itis caused by excessive uric acid. Sores, pimples, etc., mean bad blood. Catarrhal affections must be treated through the blood to get permanent results. To get well, to feel strong, hearty and vig- orous one must have good clean blood and lots of it. You can’t clean the blood thoroughly unless the kidneys are made active. Bad blood means clogged, inactive kid- neys and liver which causes, too, such symptoms as backache, ner- vousness, bladder and urinary diffi- culties and other sympathetic trou- bles. Here is a simple home remedy and the Recipe for making it up is as follows: Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half ounce,Compound Kargon one ounce, Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime. The ingredients can be obtained at any good prescription pharmacy at small cost. Here the readers of this paper have a simple yet powerful and effective remedy for all forms of blood, kidney and bladder diseases which should relieve rheumatism and catarrhal affections and replace that week, worn-out indifferent feel- ing with strength, vigor and health. BITTER CONTEST AHEAD. Saloonmen and Antis Seek Control of Ilinois Legislature. Chicago, April 1(.—While the smoke is barely sweeping from the statewide battlefield generals in both camps are proclaiming that Tuesday’s terrific sa- Ioon combat was a mere skirmish and that the heavy artillery will begin booming immediately all over Ilii- nois. The aspect of the election returns varies, the only point of agreement be- tween the Anti-Saloon league on the one hand and the liquor allies on the other being that both sides are to initiate at once unyielding strife for the control of the next Illinois gen- eral assembly. The saloon leaders plainly state that they will exercise every influence and bend every endeavor to induce the legislature to: Repeal the local option law. Repeal the Sunday closing law as applying to Chicago and the larger cities. 5 ‘The local option forces, on their part, will fight quite as determinedly to retain what they now have in the way of laws. WILL NOT TOLERATE LAXITY |knoa Michigan’s Governor Says Anti-Liquor Laws Must Be Enforced. Lansing, Mich., April 1 .—Governor ‘Warner states that no laxity will be permitted in enforcing the anti-liquor. law in those counties which voted “dry” at Monday’s election. ‘“Officers of the law in those coun- ties which have adopted Iocal option,” said the governor, “will be expected to keep their bailiwicks dry.” Under. the authority vested in him relative to prosecuting attorneys and sheriffs of counties the governor can make considerable trouble for such officials who do not do their duty. The governor said that he has already re- ceived one letter relative to his as- sistance being given to the enforcing of the law in a “dry” county and that he will not tolerate any laxity if com- plaints are made to him. Names Furnished Government. Paterson, N. J., April 1L.—Mayor Mc. Bride has called upon Chief of Police Bimson for a list of the names and addresses of all persons who are known to be members of the anarchist group in this city. It is believed that the mayor will turn over this list to the federal government. According to the police there are not more than twenty-five anarchists now in Pater- son. Railway Management Criticised. London, April 1 —The usual cut and dried proceedings at meetings of the Grand Trunk railway of Canada || were varied at the semi-annual gath- ering of the directors of the road by heated charges of mismanagement and the report of the board was only adopted after earnest appeals for unity of interest for the company’s | credit had been made. Liabilities of Half a Million. London, April 1 .—One of the larg- est grain firms in the city is in serious difficulties. The liabilities, it is de- clared, exceed the assets by nearly $500,000. Attempts are being made to arrange for an extension of credit, failing which the creditors of this firm will hold a meeting on April 13. The trouble is attributed to overspecula- tion. Would Remove Outy on Wheat. Chicago, April 1 .—The annual con- vention of the Millers’ National asso- clation opened here. The most im- portant matter to come before the meeting is the introduction of Cana: dian wheat into this country without duty in order that it may be milled by American labor. A report will be wade on this subject later in the con- Yention. Alabama Prohibition Law Upheld. Montgomery, ' Ala., April 1..—The Alabama supreme court has held both the general prohibition and the 9 o'clock closing laws to be constitu- tional and effective. Attack had been made on both by the liquor forces of the state. Suit Causes Actress’ Collapse. Ithaca, N. Y., April 1.—On receiv- ing the news in this city that she had been named as corespondent in the suit for divorce brought by Mrs. Clara Louise von Hermann against her hus- band, Karl Stephens von Hermann, Miss Julia Marlowe was overcome and concelled her engagement in “Gloria” at the Lyceum theater in this city. Not a Candidate for Governor. Cincinnati, April .—Judson Har- mon, former attorney general of the United States, who has been frequent- ly mentioned of late in connection with the Democratic nomination for governor of Ohio, gave out a state- ment in which he says he is not a candidate and could not accept the nomination this year.
