MATSON, SGORES OF HUNTERS ARE ROMING NORTHERN W0ODS Big-Game Season Opened Today, and Slight Snowfall Was Satisfactory to Hunters. The lawful deer and moose opened Yoday under the most favorable conditions. A very light fall of snow durirg the night and this morning, succeeded by cloudy weather, left a very light white covering on the ground and tends to dampen the leaves and underbrush, which is much desired by hunters of big game. While season for hunting there was not much snow, there was| enough so that either deer or moose could be easily tracked through the timber. As the sun did not shine what little snow fell remained on the ground all day, and it was certain | south toward Bemidiji, as well as points both north and south on the Great Northern from Bemidji, west- ward to Bagley, is the territory which will be thoroughly covered from now until the First of Decem- ber, and human life in the woods will be in nearly as much danger of extermination as are the four-footed big-game animals. - Deer are more plentiful than ever this year, and it is said that moose, although they have been going northward the past two years, are plentiful in the country around Red lake and east and north of there, toward the Canadian bound- ary. Up to noon today 300 licenses had been issued by County Auditor Wil- man and it is expectd that some fifty ot seventy-five more will be issued before the season closes, on December 1. 7 Will Fight at International Falls. Edward Fandrie, the mddle- weight fighter who is well known in that hunting was much easier on the | Bemidji, has signed an agreement to opening day this year than last year, the weather being ve:ry dry a year ago. During the past five days hunters have been coming northward from the twin cities in droves and every train has been literally crowded with red-capped, canvas-clad, eagle-eyed devotees ot the gun, who are wn pur- suit of deer and mnose. Maay of these parties have made spar twenty rouunds against Joe Tardie, a light-heavyweight of con- siderable renown in the roped areaa, at International Falls Fri- day evening of this week, and it ia expected that the fight will be a “hummer.” Fandrie has ioughl many gocd fights of latc, and is in splendid cou- dition. Tardie, who is an ex member of previous arrangement as to where|the U. S. navy, claims the lght- they would go, and the cabins Of'heavy\\elght championship of the many homesteaders in the north will house “‘city chaps” for the next twenty days. .

ASSAILANT THEN SUiCIDES Drops to Sidewalk Beside the Uncon- scious Form of His Victim and Fires Bullets Into His Head and Heart—Had Complained That His Mail Was Being Tampered With, but Charge Was Held Groundless. New York, Nov. 10.—Postmaster Ed- ward M. Morgan of this city was shot down in the street as ke was leaving his house on West One Hundred and Forty-sixth street for the postoffice by Eric H. B. Mackay, a stenographer employed by a down town law firm, who then_ shot and_instantly killed EDWARD M. MORGAN. himself. The single bullet~ Which struck Mr. Morgan entered at, the right side of the abdomen and passed out at the left side without penetrat- Ing the walls. - There was no internal bleeding and there is every likelihood that the wounded man will recover. The only excuse known for the shooting was that Mackay had com- plained to the. authorities at the post- | office in Washington that his mail had been tampéred with and that Some one turned out an electric light when he was reading by it in the corridor of the postoffice. Mackey had re- ceived a reply that there was no evi- dence of tampering with his mail and that the incident of the electric light was an accident. Mackey’s employers. the firm of Hunt, Hill & Betts, de-. clared they could account for the tragedy only on the theory that Mackey was insane. Besides a revol- iver it was found that Mackey carried ed man fell to-the sidewalk and as two:witnesses of the shooting came running up Mackey”lay down on the sidewalk, ;opened his vest and sent one byllet-into his head and another into his heart. He was dead when the first man reacked him. . Mr.' Morgan was carried into his own heme, physicians were hastily summoned and it was found that the bullet had: -nerely passed through the -fleshy portion of “the abdomen for .eight inches, inflicting a superficial wound, * Mr. Morgan declared that he did not know, Mackey and never saw him be- fore the shooting. Tt was learned that a mar. answering Mackey’s description had called ‘at Mr. Morgan’s hore three times during the past ten days In his absence. Onze Inmate of Asylum. Boston, Nov. 10—Eric H. B. Mackey, ‘who shot Postriaster E. M. Morgan in New York city and then killed hira- selt, was a son of H. W. B. Mackey of Cembridge, who is engaged in literary work. Mackey formerly lived in Cam- ‘bridge, where he was employed at the factery. of the Boston Woven Hose and Rubber company. About six years ago he shot a fellow employe because of a fancied grievance and after trial was adjudged insane and committed to the Worcester asylum, from which he eseaped in 1904. Bids for New Battleship. ‘Washington, Nov. 10.—The New York Shipbuilding company of Cam- den, N. J., was the lowest bidder for constructing the battleship Utah, bids for which were opened at the navy de- partment. Their proposition is for a 20%-knot vessel at $3,946,000. ROOT DENIES THE STORY Is Not a Candidate for 8ays He Senator. Washington, Nov. 10.— Secretary Root stated that he is not a candidate for the New-York senatorship to suc- ceed Senator Platt. He denied that he had written a letter to anybody indi- cating that he was a candidate for that office: “I have been put forward as & can- didate "f6r'‘many positions,” said Mr. Root, “but the fact is I have taken no part’ in-‘such ‘rumors except to deny them.” Republican National Committeeman Ward of ‘New York and Speaker ‘Wadsworth of the New York state as- sembly had a long conference with the president, the New Vork seuator- ship dpparently being the subject of their discussion. Speaker Wadsworth declared that President Roosevelt ‘would keep his hands off the senator- ship matter. Further than this neither of the visitors would talk. Both Ward and Speaker Wads- worth, were non-committal regarding the probability of Secretary Root be- ing elected to the United States sen- ate. They declared tlat there were other candidates. Secretary Root was also a caller at the White House. Confident Germany Will Yield. Paris, Nov. 10.—No new word has come from Berlin with reference to the German government’s attitude in the Casa Blanca affair and a further delay is considered likely, owing to some confusion which prevails among the German officials and the necessity of maneuvering before the reichstag. But French opinion remains serenely confident that Germany eventually will yield on the point upon which France insists, that both countries ex- press regret for the “incident.” FOLLOWING ADVERSE COURT DECISION Sensational Break in American Innacco Stock. New York, Nov. 10.—There was a sensational break in American To- bacco. stock on the curb market fol- lowing the "adverse decision of the United States circuit court declaring the concern a combination in restraint of trade.:"When the decision was an- nounced’ American Tobacco was quot- ed-at 375. Soon after the opening the curb was flooded with selling orders and ‘within the first thirty-five min- utes the stock had sold down to 348, a decline-of twenty-seven points. The price of American Tobacco pre- ferred on the stock exchange fell 314 points, the 4 per cent bonds 2% and the 6 per cent bonds 3% points. Not only ‘did“the decision- of the court l:allse“gg‘ave anxiety as to the scope of the Sherman iaw, but the unfavorable sit“atlon ‘was aggravated by a profit taking ‘fiovement ‘by last weék’s buy- ho flooded the market with- sell- Official Count Necessary. Sloux Falls, S. D, Nov. 10.—Until the cfficial count is made the result of the vote.on the proposed law to stop rapid divorce in South Dakota will be in doubt.

BIG BATTLESHIP " 1S LAUNCHED North Dakota Takes Water at Quincy, Mass. FIRST SHIP OF = CLASS Vessel When - Completed Will Be America's Pioneer All Big Gun Dreadnought—Crowd at Ceremony Includes Governor of State After Which Ship Is Named—Miss Mary L. Benton of Fargo the Sponsor. Quincy, Mass., Nov. 10.—Amid the shrieking of steam whistles, the flap- ping of flags and the cheers of a trowd of invited guests and shipyard offitials and employes the new bat- tleship North Dakota slid off the ways here at noon today. - As the great vessel quivered before taking her first plunge into the water Miss Mary L. Benton of Fargo, N. D. native daughter of the state from GOVERNOR BURKE. which the battleship takes her name, broke over her bow a bottle of cham- pagne, declaring as she did so, “I name thee North Dakota.” Among the invited guests who wit- nessed the launching of the battleship was John Burke, the newly re-elected governor of North Dakota. The launching of the North Dakota means the introduction of a new type of warship in the American navy. She will be the first American all big gun battleship or real Dreadnought to fly the Stars and Stripes. The North Dakota, which is similar In all respects to the Delaware, which is under construction at Newport News, Va., will have a long forecastle deck extending from the bow almost to the center of the ship. The ten twelve-inch guns are arranged in five turrets, two to a turret, the forward turret being so located that the axes of its guns are twenty-four feet above the water line, and just abaft this turret is another, the barbette of which is of sufficient height for its MARY L. BENTON. guns to clear the roof of the forward turret. Abaft the break of the forecastle deck and also situated on the axis of the ship are two more twelve-inch gun turrets, the guns of the forward tur- ret in this pair firing over the roof of the after turret. Abaft and near the stern is the fifth and last of the big turrets. Naval men declare that no navy in the world possesses a ship of the Dreadnought type in which the guns are better arranged. For repelling torpedo attack the North Dakota will carry a secondary battery of fourteen five-inch guns. These guns are all mounted broadside. The vessel will be driven by turbines and is expected to attain a maximum speed in excess of 21 knots an heur. Boston Brokers Suspend.

Denver, Nov. 10.—Though there is much talk of plans afoo# to oust Sam- vel Gompers from the presidency of the American Federation of Labor during the sessions of the twenty- righth annual convention, which have vegun here, ‘it is principally gossip dutside the federation itself. Rumors of growing dissatisfaction with the so ralled Gompers plan during the recent »'mfirm‘. campaign _are being given !

A strong card in Mr. Gompers’ favor now is the fact that several of his bitter opponents of so- eialistic tendencies have failed of election as delegates to represent their own unions at the present meet- Ing. The popularity of President Gom- pers was attested when he rose to call the convention to order. The delegates applauded Mr. Gompers for several minutes before he was able to make himself heard. In his address in respone to the ad- dresses of welcome Mr. Gompers was frequently applauded as he told of the progress now being made by the labor ; movement and the delegates were es- pecially enthusiastic when Mr. Gom- pers declared that the efforts of the federation were not only for the bhen- efit of union labor, but for unorgan- lzed labor and for all humanity as well.

Questions touching their opinions as to the death of Mrs. Gun- ness, their belief as to the guilt or innocence of Lamphere, their per- sonal acquaintanceship with Mrs. Gun- ness and Lamphere and their scruples against the infliction of the deuth pen- alty, if they have any, were touched on. - SHOPS -WILL BE RUN OPEN Strike Against International Company Declared Off. ‘Watertown, N.
