Minn., s second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM Says that naughty old “sinner” Granville S. Pease, in the Anoka Union: “J. Adam Bede’s bluff for a post office - building at Hibbing, was a miserable one. All the time he knew the government could not obtain title to the land.” . John T. Oyler says, in his Big Falls Compass: That Cass Lake ‘Jail Joke” obser-| vation Doc talks so much about, can’t show Big Falls a shadow of the first spring flower. Recently, there were so many ‘jail birds” in the coop—that they crowded the walls off the foundation—picked the thing up, took it down to the Big Fork river, turned it bottom- side up, and are now using it for a ferry to transport hoboes to and from Granfalls, in their attempt to keep from getting “‘pinched”—by the alternate tilt of the “Lid.” OBSERVATIONS. [By “Doc”] Clarence Darrow is compared to a “bull in a flower garden.” Why not a “serpent in a china shop?” “The excessive talker,” declared a London clergyman, “is a human vampire who saps the vitality of those about him.” But he meant “her” but didn’t dare to say it be- cause his wife was in the room. A Memphis lawyer secured a judgment for $507 against a girl who had jilted him, the amount representing the value of jewelry he head given her during the courting. This appears to be the first legal recognition of leap year. We are of course sorry to hear that the Colorado fruit belt, the Nebraska wheat belt and the Michi- gan peach beltare hurt by the cold spell, but the thing that really wrings our heart is the possible damage to the Bemidji back yard garden belt. Mr. Carnegie confesses that the bohemian side of life always appealed strongly to him. Only the other day he lunched with the staff of the Outlook. This was devilish enough, but wait till Mr Carnegie breaks into the charmed inner circle and is the editors of the Youth’s Compan. ion. Judge Gray of Deleware has re- fused a proffered salary of $200,000 a year because he believes no man should receive more pay than the President. The judge evidently is practicing the economy that life in the ‘White House makes necessary, but it is to be feared that his ex- periences in this line never will be- come of value to him. BITTER LEGAL BATTLE ON Former Chief of Police Collins of Chi- cago on Trial. Chicago, _ == °°.—A legal battle which promises to be one of the most remarkable in the history of Chicago has begun in the criminal court before Judge Chetlain. Several hundred wit- nesses will be called on to testify and all the old animosity of a bitter polit- fcal campaign will be reopened. The case is that of the state of Illinois egainst John M. Collins, former chief of police, and Frank D. Comerford, former police attorney, who are charged with conspiracy to defraud the city of the services of its police- men. The prosecution will be conducted by State's Attorney Healy and his as- sistant, James J. Barbour. -Attorneys Nathaniel C. Sears and James Hamil- ton Lewis will represent former Chief Collins. Attorney Comerford will plead his own case. The prosecution expects to show that 800 or more policemen, by the direct orders of Chief Collins and of Police Attorney Comerford, were taken from their regular duties short- Iy before the election of Mayor Busse and set to work campaigning for the | re-election of former Mayor Dunne. Some were at this work, it is alleged, for as long as two weeks. The indictment is under the old qouspiracy law, under which many convictions for the misuse of public funds have been obtained, but the de- fense denies that such an offense as the misuse of labor is within the con- templation of the statute. Railroad Employes Protest. Omaha, Neb., ap.. =o.—Railroad empleyes, representing every railroad in Nebraska, adopted resolutions re- questing the state railway commission te refrain from ordering further reduc- tions of freight and passenger rates.

Harrisburg, Pa, 4. 3 .—The Re- publican state convention, which met here, reaffirmed the action taken by the state convention last year when United States Senator Philander C. Knox was placed before the Repub- licans of the country as Pennsylvania’s choice for the presidential nomina- tion. The resolutions adopted strongly endorse the senator for the nomina- tion and also praise President Roose- PHILANDER C. KNOX. velt’s administration. The platform calls for a review by the next con- gress of tariff legislation to the end that modifications may be made to meet present conditions. The convention, besides adopting a platform, renominated Judge W. D. Porter of Allegheny county for the superior court bench; named dele- gates at large and alternates to the national convention and - selected presidential electors. An attempt by a delegate to get a local option reso- lution before the convention failed. BRYAN PLANK DEFEATED. Connecticut Delegates to Denver Un- instructed. New Haven, Conn., “z«ix $'—Not many minutes were needed to dispose of the business of the Democratic state convention. Immediately prior to the call to order the committee on resolutions opposed a resolution in- structing the delegates for William J. Bryan by a vote of 19 to 13. ‘When the convention was called to order Temporary Chairman Comstock yielded the gavel to former Governor Thomas M. Walter. The county and congressional district delegates were accepted as fast as they were reported from the floor and then John J. Walsh of Norwalk, a former state committee chairman, and Alexander Troup of New Haven, one of Mr. Bryan’s most intimate friends, were unanimously chosen the two delegates at large. The other delegates chosen are: Henry C. Ney, Farmington; Louis A. Fisk, Pranford; Frank P. Fenton, ‘Windham; Melbert B. Cary, Ridge- fleld; Henry J. McManus, Hartford; Thomas Noono, Vernon; William Ken- nedy, Naugatuck; Rollin U. Tyler, Haddam; Tyron Robertson, Montville; Oscar Ross, Thompson; T. M. Cul- linan, Bridgeport; James L. Farley, Torrington. Ot the delegation the personal pref- erences of only Messrs. Troup, Ken- nedy, Cullinan and Cary are outspoken for Mr. Bryan. Mr. Cary was a dele- gate eight years ago and is a personal friend of Mr. Bryan. Each delegate has the right by convention vote to appoint his own alternate and va- cancies on the delegation will be made by the delegation itself. NINE KILLED, MANY INJURED Collision of Trolley Cars Near Ypsi- lanti, Mich. 5 Detroit, Mich., Az~ 3 .—Two large Interurban trolley cars on the Detroit United Railways system running from Detroit to Jackson collided head on near Ypsilanti while running about forty-five miles an hour. Nine men were killed and about thirty men and women injured, some of them seri- ously. All of the severely wounded were taken to the University hospital &t Ann Arbor. A mistake in orders on the part of Aotorman Isa Fay of the limited car, who was crushed to death beneath his vestibule, is alleged to have caused the collision. It is charged that he overran his orders. Endorse Foraker for Przsident. Indianola, Miss., 172 2 ' —Besides endorsing the present national admin- istration, except for the action of President Roosevelt with regard to the Brownsville affair, the Third con- gressional district Republican conven- tion approved the candidacy of Sen- ator Foraker for the presidency and the delegates selected were instructed for him, COLORADO FOR TAFT. State Republican Convention Held at Pueblo. Pueblo, Colo., -~ 27 —The Repub- lican state convention called to select delegates at large to the national con- vention at Chicago was held here without a contest so far as the nom- ination for president was concerned. The entire state delegation will go to Chicago as a unit for Secretary Taft. Delegates-at large to the national con- vention were chosen as follows: Crawford Hill, Denver; Dr. Hubert Work, Pueblo; William Lenox, Fl Paso; Horace T. Delong, Mesa; Thomas F. Walsh, Arapahoe; W. A. Drake, Larimer. A slight hitch in-the programme came in an attempt to secure the en: dorsement of Clarence C. Hamlin of Colorado Springs for United States senator, but State Chairman John F. Vivian did not permit the senatorial question to disturb the harmony of the convention. The administration of President Roosevelt was endorsed, ns was the handling of reins of state sovernment by Governor Buchtel. NON-PARTISAN RECEPTION Governor Johnson of Minnesota tho’ Guest of Detroit, Mich. Detroit, Mich., ...—~ os.—Governor John A. Johnson of Minnesota arrived here from the Upper Peninsula. Mayor William B. Thompson and a commit- tee of thirty prominent men met Gov- ernor Johnson at the Michigan Cen- tral station and escorted him to the Hotel Pontchartrain for breakfast. An hour’s informal chat with various per- sons followed. Then Governor Fred M. Warner, the Republican governor of Michigan, joined the party and the two governors spent the morning in an automobile drive about the city, escorted by Mayor Thompson and the local reception committee. At noon Governor Johnson was entertained at luncheon by the Wholesalers’ associa- tion and made a short address. In the evening he lectured before the Western High School Alumni associa- tion and later attended a banquet in his honor. During an interview on his candi- dacy and the issues of the coming campaign Governor Johnson said: “New York has no connection with my candidacy. My support will have to come from another direction than ‘Wall street. I may say that I have had no relations, politically or other- wise, with the other side of the Hud- son. I have had absolutely nothing to do with Tammany or Murphy. Mr. Bryan and I are good friends. I am not in a fight for the purpose of de- feating Mr. Bryan. “The tariff is the big issue in the coming campaign. The others are subordinate to that. I believe in the legitimate combination of capital and I do mot believe in the destruction of the corporation system. I do mnot be- lieve in government ownership of rail- roads. I believe in government reg- ulation, but not ownership.” NEW CURRENCY MEASURE Bill Has Support of Republican Lead- ers in the House. ‘Washington, ol.~—Another emergency currency measure, which will_have the support of the Repub- lican members in the house, has been drafted after a.conference of the house leaders. It was framed by Represen- tative Vreeland of New York. The new bill eliminates practically the bond secured circulation author- ized in the Aldrich bill and in Mr. ‘Vreeland’s first bill. It does not men- tion bonds, government, state, munic- ipal or county, in express terms. In a way it authorizes an asset emergency currency. It provides for the formation of clearing house asso- clations, with capitalizations of $5,- 000,000 each, as originally proposed. It fixes the amount of emergency cir- culation to be issued at $750,000, to be taxed at the rate of 1 per cent the first month of issuance, increasing to 2 per cent the second month and up- ward until the tax shall be at the rate of 10 per cent. The bill provides that this emergency currency shall be based on securities held by the banks, commercial paper, bonds, etc. A commission to devise a permanent plan of banking and currency is one of the features of the measure, PAPER TRUST HEARING. John Norris of the New York Times Again on the Stand. ‘Washington; s, od.—Upon resum- ing his testimony before the select committee of the house on wood pulp and print paper John Norris, business manager of the New York Times, fur- nished the‘'committee with data show- ing that H. G. Craig & Co. controlled the output of seven independent mills. Tntil these mills were combined into one selling agency, Mr. Norris said, there was no concentration of control of news print paper mills. Respond- ing to a series of questions from ‘Chairman Mann Mr. Norris said that the mills controlled by Craig & Co. did not undertake to make.sales inde- pendently. “Is it your claim,” Mr. Mann asked, “that all these mills agree upon a price which H. G. Craig & Co. carry out, or, after conference, that they de- cide upon the price which they carry out, so that there is no variation in price—no competition?” “The claim of the publishers,” the witness replied, “is that in some way, either by direction of Craig & Co. or by arrangement with them, a common price is agreed on among all the mills.” TO APPEAR IN GRAND OPERA Mrs. W. E. Corey Will Study Under Jean de Reszke. New York, *--" Zi.—Before sailing on the Hamburg-American Iliner Deutschland for Europe with her hus- band Mrs. W. E. Corey, formerly Ma- belle Gilman, the actress, said she in- tended to go to Paris to study for the operatic stage under Jean de Reszke. “I have several roles entirely learned,” Mrs. - Corey said,” “which I have to finish with Mr. de Reszke, with whom I shall appear in grand opera this season. I am not doing this with any desire to appear again before the public, but simply for the sake of work. I have always- been used to an active life and cannot re- main idle. I shall appear in opera and Bope to be able to do something for a phase of music in this country which should' be developed.” Condition of Admiral Evans.

In the course of a cleverly humorous and satirical speech he unrolled and held up to view the following petition to Speaker Cannon, Learing the signatures of 164 of the 166 Democratic members: “We, the undersigned, representa- tives in congress, request, each for himself and each for each of the oth- ers, that you recognize one of us, or, if you prefer, some other representa- tive, to move to discharge the commit- tee on ways and means from further consideration and to suspend the rules and pass the Stevens bill or any other bill having the effect to put wood pulp and print paper on the free list.” £ Mr. Williams said that the two Dem- ocratic members whose names were not appended to the petition were out of town, but efforts were being made to reach them by wire; when their signatures were added only thirty Re- Dublican names would be needed to swell the strength of ‘the petition to the proportions of a majority request, which, Mr. Williams said with good natured sarcasm, he felt sure the speaker would heed. A table had been placed in front o the stenographer’s bench and on it the petition was spread with flank- ings of ink bottle and pen, while the minority leader, simulating the voice and manner of a revivalist, exhorted the Republicans to rise and go for- ward and sign up, pleading for “thirty, only thirty,” and asked: ‘“Are there not thirty who will come forth?” He concluded amid handclapping and laughter, indulged in by Democrats and Republicans alike. ON CURRENCY QUESTION. Mr. Fowler (N. J.) Makes a Speech in the House. ‘Washington,. 4izril S3.—While the house was proceeding under the order of general debate on the sundry civil appropriation bill. Mr. Fowler (N. J.), chairman of the banking and currency committee, delivered a speech on the currency question. —~He said that in all of the hearings given by the banking and currency committee only two defendants of the Aldrich bill put in an appearance, one of them being former Comptroller of the Currency Dawes. Mr. Fowler said that in recognition of an expressed sentiment in favor of limiting financial legislation at this session of congress to the passage of a currency commission bill, the bank- ing and currency commiftee had re- ported for passage such a bill, intro- duced by himself, and he spoke briefly for its passage. Opposing favorable action on the Aldrich bill Mr. Fowler warned the house that the enactment of that measure would precipitate on the United States treas iry $750,000,- 000 of national bank notes and he de- manded: “How are you going to redeem them?” He asserted that not even the few champions of the bill had succeeded in answering that question.

In a brief speech he charged that 10,000 persons of Indian blood {had failed of enrollment and, address- {ing Senator Foraker, told him that if he wanted to help the “niggers” now was his opportunity, as many of those who had been counted out were of mixed negro and Indian ancestry. The resolution_was withdrawn for amend- ment and was not acted upon. Senator Davis later reintroduced his resolution without the preamble, which was regarded as offensive to the secretary of the interior, and it ‘was passed without further debate.

The royal mourning for the late King Carlos and his son was sus- pended for the occasion. The entire garrison of Lishbon was turned out at daylight and formed along the route from the Necessidades palace to the parliament buildings. King Manuel proceeded to the cor- tes accompanied by many dignitaries of state and escorted by a strong guard of troopers. The floor of the chamber was filled with deputies and peers, while the galleries were crowd- ed with a brilliant audience. His majesty slowly mounted the tribune that had been especially erect- ed for his use. His address, which he read in strong and full tones, was a pathetic one and at the same time calculated to win the sympathies of the people. He touched upon the tragedy of Feb. 1, when his father and his brother were shot down, as “the cruel disappearance of my father and brother.” He called upen the country to con- centrate all its energies in a supreme effort to attain the realization of the destinies of Portugal. “I hope to work with you,” the king said, “in order to bring about the happiness and great- ness of our country; to these I hence- forth dedicate my life and activitles.” Probing Methods of Big Trust.

He selected a time when Mrs. Coster was at a reception and, after preparing himself for bed, telephoned to his family physician that Mrs. Cos- ter had a severe cold and asked him to come to the house at once.
