=t DETEGTIVE HAS EXCITING BOLD ROBBERY AT GRAND FORKS: THIEF 60T AWAY Brother of Dr. Palmer of This City Lost Considerable Valuable Prop- erty Yesterday Morning. The Grand Forks Herald con- tains the following account of the daring robbery of a jewelry store in Grand Forks owned by A. E. Palmer, a brother of Dr. Palmer of this city: “The jewelry store of A. E.| Palmer was burglarized some time Monday morning. Mr. Palmer estimates that the burglar secured $600 worth of jewelry. Eatrance was secured through the rear of the building. A plate glass window was smashed. Through the opening made the burglar crawled. He used a towel and handkerchief to cover the glass and prevent his being injured. “A clue was discovered at the Great Northern depot yesterday morning when a ring was found on a window ledge. The ring had been stolen from the Palmer store. This leads to a suspicion that the plunder was packed at the depot| and the robbers left on the morning Oriental Limited for the east. “Ten rings and bracelets were secured by the burglar. Oue of the rings was valued at $110. The police believe that only one man was concerned.” The police of all and the northern part of Minne-| sota (including Bemidji) are work- ing on this case, but there appears to be no clue whatever to the robber or robbers, or what disposition was made of the plunder. 0. E. Bai'ey Here from Spokane. | O. E. Bailey, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Bailey of this city, arrived in Bemidji last night and will remain here for several days, visiting with relatives and old friends. 0. E., who is one of the pioneer residents- of Bemidji, is now state salesman for the tional company for the states of Washihgton, Idaho and Oregon, with headquarters at Spokane, and is said to be doing very well. Omer is looking over the political situation, and is wont to give the Hon. I. B. Olson the old-time advice, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again,” etc. WOULD umusrfim GAME FROM LOGAL HIGH Crookston Paper Gives Unreliable Re- port of Saturday's Football Game, Saying Fosston Won. The Pioneer has on many occa- sions been moved to ‘“jack up” the Crookston daily papers for their un- rivaled nerve in appropriating col- umns of matter from the Piouneer, without giving this paper proper credit therefor; and in this con- nection, it is somewhat amusing to note that ‘when they haven’t the Pioneer bandy, they “ball up” accounts of events here. This 1s forcibly illustrated in the following account of the Fosston- Bemidji football game, which was played in this city last Saturday, and which was published in the Crookston Daily Journal of Monday: *“At Fosston Saturday the Fosston High School Football team defeated the Bemidji High School aggrega- tion by a score of 12 to 0. It was a hard fought battle all the way through but the Fosston boys showed more training and also had a little the best of the deal on weight.” The above account of the game was about as far from the truth as well could be, with the exception that the two teams did play Satur- |down from Jelle, Beltrami county, {SEASON FOR PARTRIDGES jhunting partridge starts.

Mr. Jelle comes from the promised land of the north country and he is very optimistic over its future. “A little drainage, few more highways and a railroad or two, and we wouldn’t trade with the best there is in Minnesota,” remarked Mr. Jelle. OPENS THURSDAY, OCT. Can Be Legally Killed on that Date, and Until December 1.—Good Hunting. There is considerable joy in the hearts of the next Thursday the open season for Unlike local hunters, for can be found right here at home. The woods that skirt Bemidji on all sides are frequented by this fine game bird and in the average year the birds are plentiful. Men who follow the woods say | that this will be a great year for | partridges. The spring was dry, lwhich gave the birds an excellent jchance to hatch their eggs. While the forest fires may possibly have | caused the birds some worry, the bunters believe that the little harm ithe recent haevy rains. | The law relative to the hunting of partridges is the same as that of date of the beginning of the open season. Chickens may be killed be- | ginning with September 1, while the lawful season for shooting part- i ridges, does not open until October 1. You can lawfully kill partridges, quail, ruffed grouse and pheasant until December i, as well as wild duck, goose and all other acquatic fowl. But the season for killing | turtle dove, snipe, prairie chicken, pinnated, white-breasted or sharp- tailed grouse, woodcock, upland plover and golden plover closes November 1, a provision of the law which is not generally known, even among hunters. One day’s bag for patridges is the same as chickens, etc., being fifteen birds, with forty-five allowed in possession of a single person at one time. License regulations are the same for all birds and fowls— and one must have a license to hunt outside his own county, and birds or fowls cannot be shipped on common carrier without license tags. School Tablets. The Pioneer has prepared a special school tablet of the uniform size, 6x9, which we will retail at 5 cents per tablet. This tablet has been prepared especially for the Bemidji public schools, and with cloth back, which makes the tablet very durable. These should be purchased by all pupils. Notice.

Escape. Cass Lake, Sept. 29.—(Special to Pioneer.)—For some time past thieves have been plundering the Great Northern cars lying in the yards here and carrying away meat, vegetables, etc. Sunday night, unknown to any- one in the village, the company stationed a detective at a point where he could easily see any intruders at the yards. About 1 a. m. two desparate-look- ing Greeks made their way toa car filled with meat, and after gaining admission, were about to help them- selves, when the detective ‘grabbed one of them. Before he could handle the Greek satisfactorily, the Greek’s companion grabbed the detective and after having a few good bites, the detective was obliged to loosen his hold and the two Greeks made a daring dash for liberty. The officer pulled his revolver and | fired several times at the desperadoes but missed his mark, and they got away. The detective had a good look at the men and still believe he can land them. GENERAL RAINS AFFORD RELIEF Long Drought Broken Over Entire Country. AN END TO FIRE FIGHTING Many Eastern Industries Closed Down for Lack of Water Power Will Again Resume and Farmers Are Assured an Adequate Supply of Water for Their Live Stock for the First Time in Many Weeks. ‘Washington, Sept. 29.—Hope at last is seemingly justified that the drought which has prevailed over the entire Eastern section of the United States for months 1s about {o be broken. Al- though only light rains have fallen thus far the precipitation has bLoon general over the entire affected area. ‘While it has not yet been of sufficient volume to have any marked effect on the disastrous forest and brush fires Ewhich have been sweeping hundreds of thousands of acres, or on water courses, which have fallen to the low- est points in many years, the prospect of heavy and continued rains through- out the East is held out by weather forecasters. " If these expectations are realized the work of the fire fighters will be relieved, the wheels of many factories which ceased to turn because of lack of water power will again be- come active and farmers, for the first time in many weeks, will be assured adequate supplies of water for their live-stock. | ROOSEVELT REPLIES. { i Answers Bryan's Recent Speech on a Square Deal. ‘Washington, Sept. 29.—President 1 Roosevelt has replied to William J. Bryan's recent speech in which he maintained that the Democratic party and platform were not getting a square deal in the campaign. The president’s reply deals particu- larly with Mr. Bryan's assertion that the administration has been neither sincere nor effective in the prosecu- tion of trusts. Mr. Roosevelt combats this charge with characteristic emphasis and sets forth in detail what has been done un- der his direction toward curbing the tendency of capital to control with a view to destroying competition. The president also scores Mr. Bryan for “insincerity” in making statements calculated to create an impression that because men having connections with large corporations contributed to the Republican national campaign fund four years ago and to the Repub- Hcan campaign fund in New York | state two years ago Mr. Roosevelt and Governor Hughes necessarily must be | believed to have guided their official { conduct with particular consideration for these confributions. He mentions his own administra- tion’s record and particularly the case of Harriman and Governor Hughes’ unvarying policy of impartiality as sufficient to show the unfounded na- ture of any such insinuation. President Roosevelt again delves into the career of Governor Haskell, the deposed treasurer of the Demo- cratic national committee, and also draws some striking conclusions, far from complimentary to the Democratic presidential candidate, from a compre- hensive review and consideration of the Nebraska man’s candidacies and the source of the funds that went to finance them. HASKELL TO SUE HEARST Says He Will Make Latter Prove What He Said. Guthrie, Okla., Sept. 29.—Governor Haskell announced on his arrival here from Chicago that he would bring suit against William Randolph Hearst. Well, T don't Kilow WhaL you would eall it.” =0 “To make him prove what he sald?” “No, sir; to make him prove that what he said was not true.” Alleges Overcharge in Bills. ~ Guthrie, Okla.,, Sept. 29.—Governor Charles N. Haskell, on behalf of the state, has filed suit in the district court here against the State .Capital Printing company, Congressman B. S. McGuire and Dennis T. Flynn, former delegate in congress, for the recovery of $195,062, an alleged overcharge ir the stdte printing from 1891 to 1907. The petition alleges. that the State Capital company did not recelve alt this money and charges Flynn and McGuire with being beneficiaries. PETTIGREW MAKES CHARGE 8ays Republicans Offered Him $10,000 to Speak for Watson. Salem, S. D., Sept. 29.—While trav- eling with William J. Bryan from Sioux Falls to Mitchell former Sen- ator R, F. Pettigrew publicly an- nounced that four years ago he had been approached by the Republican national committee, through a former United States senator, with an offer of $10,000 if he would deliver ten epeeches at such places as the com- mittee would dictate in support. of the candidacy of Thomas Watson of Geor- gia, the People’s party candidate for R. F. PETTIGREW. president. Mr. Pettigrew said that with the view to ascertaining what was behind the offer he wrote his sen- ator friend and asked him if the amount could not be increased to $20,- 000, but the reply was that they were not inclined to give one man that much. Senator Pettigrew declared that he declined the offer and con- ducted an investigation with the re- sult that he satisfied himself that the Republican party financed, in a large measure, Mr. Watson’s campaign. 'WILL PLAN WAR ON THE WHITE PLAGUE Many Natie=s Represented ai Tuberculosis Gongress. ‘Washington, Sept. 29.—A remark- able educational campaign formally was inaugurated here. It was human- ity’s crusade against a most deadly foe, the white plague. The occasion was the official open- ing of the sixth triennial international congress on tuberculosis at the new national museum. A more distin- gnished gathering perhaps has never before met in the national capital Scientists of international fame, mem bers of the diplomatic corps, philan- thropists and representatives of prac- tically every civilized nation were present. The first day of the congress was marked by simple but unique cere- monies. FPreliminary to the formal opening the diplomatic corps, the spokesmen of the various countries, the officers of the congress, the hon- orary presidents and the section pres- idents met in the office of Dr. Henry G. Beyer, chairman of the committee on exhibits in the museum building, and accompanied by Doctors Beyer and John S. Fulton, the secretary gen- eral, proceeded to the stage in the great auditorium. There Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou, as the per- sonal representative of the president of the United States, extended the official welcome on behalf of the gov- ernment of the United States. A wel- come to the national capital was then extended by District Commissioner MacFarland, followed - by brief re- sponses by the representatives of about thirty foreign countries. The assembly hall was a prism of colors, the flags of every nation being dis- played. The national anthems of this snd other countries were played by the Marine band. The greater part of the day’s ses- sion was devoted to responses by for- eign delegates. At the conclusion of this feature Secretary Cortelyou closed the meeting, the delegates dispersed and will not assemble in general ses sion again until Saturday morning Oct. 3. Rate Hearing at St. Louis. St. Louis, Sept. 29.—Interstate Com: merce Commissioners Martin A, Knapp, E. E. Clark, F. K. Lane and Charles A. Prouty began a series of hearings in this city to determine the reasonableness of an increase in freight rates which has been an- nounced hy Southwestern lines. More than one hundred representatives of commereial bodies were present at the hearin, Judge Taft not only wins votes by arousing public interest in his person- ality, but he adds strength to his party in every doubtful state by showing “For_criminal libel; governor?” the hesitating a man they can trust. . OTE FOR BILL Indiana Legislator Accuses Governor Hanly. - GIVES DETAILS OF DEAL 8Says in Signed -Affidavit That the State’s Chief Executive Promised Him a Position Paying $2,000 a Year if He Would Support the County Option Measure, Afterwards Passed and Signed by the Governor. Indianapolis, Sept. 20.—Luther W. Knuisely, member from Dekalb county of the lower house of the Indiana leg- {slature, now in.special session, has signed an affidavit in. support of a charge made by him Saturday on the floor of the house when he voted against the county option bill, that Governor J. Frank Hanly had offered him a position paying $2,000 per year if he would vote for the bill. The affl- davit explains the alleged transaction GOVERNOR HANLY. in detail, naming Senator Wickwire, a Republican, in connection with the charge and setting forth the alleged conversation with the governor. Sen- ator Wickwire has denfed the charge. Governor Hanly has declined to make a statement until after he has seen the affidavit, which has been placed in the hands of Stokes Jackson, chair- man of the state Democratic commit- tee. The county option bill was passed by the house Saturday and was signed by the governor. KING OF ITALY CONSENTS Duke of Abruzzi to Marry Miss Elkins in November. Rome, Sept. 20.—The king of Italy has officially sanctioned the wedding of the Duke of Abruzzi to Miss Kath- erine Elkins, daughter of the United States senator from West Virginia. The approval of the king came only after a bitter struggle in both family and court circles, to which the papers of Italy added the full weight of their open and expressed hostility. The duke will leave immediately for America, where the wedding will be solemnized in November. Plans for the wedding, in so far as they relate to the city and wother details, have not been made public on this side, but it is thought that Washington will be the scene of the ceremony and that it will eclipse in splendor and state attention | anything ever known in the United States. A squadron of Italian warships will meet the bridal party at New York and will escort the duke and his bride across the water with regal state. Here, too, will be an innovation for American brides who have carried titles. None have heretofore listened to the booming of cannon in official salute as the finale to their wedding march. But such a chorus, belched from the guns of the warships, will mark the departure of the latest belle of the States to seek a new home in titled circles. THREE BULLETS FOR BURGLAR Chicago Physician Finds Intruder in His Home. Chicago, Sept. 29.—A masked bur. glar armed with an open knife was shot and instantly killed by Dr. Adolph Gehrmann in his home here. The physician was awakened by a nolse in the lower rooms. Arming himself with a heavy rifle Dr. Gehr- mann went to the hggd of the stairs. Switching ca the light he saw the in- truder advancing up the stairway, knife in hand. Raising the weapon the physician fired three times. Each bullet took effect. No marks which would identify the man were found by the police. From the appearance of the rooms and a bundle of valuables which the intruder had collected he had apparently been in the house a considerable time before he was heard by Dr. Gehrmann. Twenty Hurt in Collision. New York, Sept. 29.—Twenty per- | sons were injured, two of them prob- ably fatally, in a collision between two trolley cars in the Flatbush sec- tion of Brooklyn. BRYAN CRITICISES TAFT. Addresses Big Crowd at Station at Sioux Falls. Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. 29.—Will- fam J. Bryan, Democratic candidate for president, opened the fourth week of his present tour by a renewal of hia criticisms of Mr. Taft and the Repub- Hean platferm. A big crowd waited at the station a long time for the belated train bring- ing in the distinguished—Nebraskan. Mounting a truck near the station Mr. OFFERED J0B TO Bryan sald: Avese “I am glad to be here again,” be- cause you in this great Western state have been studying public questions for a long while and you saw here-be- fore they did in some other parts of the country the tendencies of our gov- ernment and you tried as best you could to correct them.” He briefly discussed the issue, “Shall the People Rule,” and, taking up the subject of the trusts, publicity of campaign contributions and elec- tlon of senators by direct vote, de- ounced the Republican party, and ore particularly Mr. Taft, on their attitude on the public questions. REFUSE TO RESUME WORK Strikers Reject Agreement Made by Officers of Union. Boston, Sept. 29.—The employes of the Interndtional Paper company in New England have refused to return to work in the various mills of the company in Massachusetts, Maine and New Hampshire under a § per cent wage reduction, denying the right of the president of their national union to accept for them the lower rate. The workmen, who are members of the International Brotherhood of Pa- permakers, have been on strike for several weeks because of a notice that wages would be reduced 10 per cent. Officials of the company had confer- ences with officials of the interna- tional union and last week Présigent Carey of tlie brotherhood notified*‘the local unions that the union's officers had accepted a compromise proposi- tion and that the strikers would re- per cent. This the strikers have refused to do, claiming that President Carey had no right to bind them to return to work { until the local unions had been given an opportunity of accepting or reject: ing the compromise offer. McCleary’s Successor Named. ‘Washington, Sept. 29.—Joseph Stew- art of Missouri, superintendent of the division of railway adjustment in the postoffice department, has been ap- pointed second assistant postmaster general, succeeding James T.

Lansing, Mich., Sept. 29.—The su- preme court has handed down a de- cleion in favor of Governor Fred M. Warner in the Bradley-Warner re- count cases. The court held with Governor Warner that the board of canvassers has no power to go behjnd the returns. MINISTER AND THREE WORSHIPPERS KILLED Drunken Men Fire Info Con- gregation Leaving Church. Jellico, Tenn., Sept. 29.—One of the bloodiest affairs in the history of East Tennessee occurred near the Tennes- see-Kentucky line north of Anthras postoffice. The scene was a little Bap- tist church within fifty yards of which is a “blind tiger” which has been oper- ated for months. The services had closed and nearly all the congregation had emerged from the church when a crowd of drunken men who had visited the “blind tiger” began firing into the worshippers with pistols. Jchn Ben- nett, J. W. McKinney and Edward Thomas were shot down at the church door and died almost instantly. The preacher, Rev. Kind, was shot and mortally wounded. Another worship- per named Gibson also was shot, but 1s not dangerously wounded. Veteran Actor Dies Suddenly. Highlands of Navesink, N.
