THORPE BROKE SKATES; GCARPENTER WON RACE Three-Mile Race at Crookston Last Night Had a Very Unsatisfactory Termination. In the third and final three-mile race of a series of three to decide the small-rink championship of the northwest at the Auditorium in penter of Crookston defeated Al Thorpe of Fargo, the latter falling in the thirty-fourth lap with a broken skate and being unable to continue. Manager Wyler, of the Coliseum rink in this city, who has been act- ing as Thorpe’s manager, returned to the city last night on the mid. night train from Crookston, where he witnessed the race, and gave the following account of the event. “Thorpe gained about five or six feet on the first lap and held his lead, gradually gaining from the twelfth to the nineteenth laps. “Thorpe was about twenty feet in the lead, with Carpenter spurting, when the former fell in the thirty- fourth lap on account of the two front wheels of one of his skates being twisted. He slid about twenty- five feet and hurt his knee but got up and tried to skate, falling again after going about sixty feet and being unable to continue on account of the broken truck. Carpenter, ot course, won the race. “About two seconds before Thorpe fell,” stated Mr. Wyler, “W. S. Lycan said to me, ‘Your little kid has got the race in his mit already.” ” Mr. Lycan officiated as timekeeper, Charles Hitchoock as starter and one of the judges, Mr. Wyler and Car- penter s brother as the other two judges. There was a crowd of 281 people present, most of whom were skating. Itis to be regretted that Thorpe fell and was unable to finish the race as many people thought that he would win. As it now stands, Car- penter of Crookston is the champion small-rink skater of northern Minne- sota. Baptist Sale and Supper. Sale and supper for election day, Feb. 16.

Sheriff Hazen, who returned this morning from Baudette, reports that the Hamm Brewing company’s new branch office in that village, together with a large new stock of “brew,” was burned to the ground last even- ing. luc company's building was stationed just across the tracks from the railway depot and it was only by ingenuity that the depot was saved from the flames. There was little or no supply of water and the railway men used a train of about ten car- spreading of the flames to the depot. As fast as the green logs caught afire the train was moved a short distance until the conflagation died out. Moral: Insure with the T. J. Miller Insurance Agency of Bemidji.

VETO WILL KILL THE GENSUS BILL ‘New Measure May Be Passed at Special Session. FEAR SHORTSGE OF YOTES Leaders of House and Senate, After Hasty Poll of Both Branches of 5 Congress, Abandon Plan of Attempt- ing to Pass Bill Over President’s Veto—House Committee Holds a Meeting but Takes No Action. ‘Washington, Feb. 12.—The house committee on the census held a meet- Ing but took no action on the presi- dent’s veto of the bill providing for 2 decennial census.

The house com- mittee adjourned to meet at the call of the chairman. A hasty poll of both houses was not encouraging to the passage of the bill over the veto, par- ticularly in the senate. The enact- ment of a census law for the taking of the decennial census probably will be made the subject of legislation at the special session.

It developed during the session that the committee was not unanimous in regard to the question of whether it ‘would be possible to repeal the salary increase provision so as to make Sen- ator Knox eligible for the office. Sen- ators Kittredge. and Overman seemed to be in some doubt as to the propri- ety of taking this action, but they will not make a minority report and- it is said they will not oppose the passage of the bill when it comes up on the floor of the senate.

Anti-Tuberculin Bill Killed. St. Paul, Feb. 11.—Representatives of the Minnesota Employers’ associa- tion and of organized labor argued before the house committee on labor for a commission to draw up a bill to present to the next legislature provid- ing compensation for injured em- ployes, according to the plan outlined in the governor’s message to the leg- islature. A smaller number of repre- sentatives of organized labor opposed the bill, saying that they wanted im- mediate relief, and several Republi- can members wanted to know why some relief could not be given now. That W. F. Ellis, an agent of the American Book company, had been meddling in the election of a succes- sor to C. R. Frazier as superintendent of the Winona schools, that he had promised to order tinning for his house from School Director Gelewski, who is a tinner, that he had been spending money freely over'the bar of School Director Szesewski, who has a saloon, and that he told W. J. Whip- “make it an object to” do something ‘which Whipple did not want to hear, were some of the charges made at the hearing before the Adams committee of the house which is investigating the school book question. D. B. Pritchard, president of the school board, said that Ellis had tried to overturn the recommendation of the teachers’ committee that the new su- perintendent be not elected until March 5. He said that Ellis had tried through a local clergyman to oppose this recommendation, had: told the the clergyman that it was time for him to get results. He also said that Ellis had contributed to the Bryan men and also the Johnson men in some of their political fights. Swanson’s Measure Killed. After winning one round in the fight against the tuberculin test on the floor of the senate several days ago, Sen- ator C. J. Swanson of Fridley went down in temporary defeat before the senate committee. Senator Swanson several days ago introduced a bill providing for the practical, abolition of the tuberculin and maline test for cattle and horses, “ana- SUDSULUUNE THETeror & visual ex- amination by three veterinarians, who might nse the tuberculin test, but conld not condemn a cow on that alone. This bill was before the com- mittee and after more voluminous tes- timony and an all afternoon session ‘was Indefinitely postponed. The house in committee of the whole voted in favor of the Spooner bill which authorizes the board of control to use the nrison revolving fund in the monufacture of harvester ma- chinery and legalizes the fund, its legal status at present being some- what uncertain. The fund at at present amounts to $1,300,000, and under the Spooner bill all of this money may be used for elther the twine or the machine plant. Burdette Thayer of Spring Valley wanted this amended so that only $200,000 could be used at any time for the machine plant, but his amend- ment was voted down. Elementary agriculture will be taught by mail if a bill by Senator J. M. Hackney of St. Paul, which was presented to the senate, becomes a law. It carries an appropriation of $50,000 to provide funds and instruc- tors. Information on Raising Crops. In connection with the home de- partment of the state farm there will be a monthly magazine or bulletin to dispense information concerning re- sults at the experiment stations and the best way of raising the crops natural to Minnesota. It will be free. ‘Three deputy state auditors, one each for the lands, mines and forests of 'the state are provided M a bill by Senator E. H. Canfield of Luverne. These three with clerks are to take the place of the forestry board, the timber board, the forestry commis- sioner and the board of immigration. The forest fire fighting would be under the jurisdiction of one of these the abolished departments. This is opposed to the governor’s plan of a separate department appointed by himself to manage the same functions, This is included in the bill of Senator ‘Works now in the judiciary commit- tee of the senate. Four more men to Washington to help get federal money to rearrange the Minnesota and Red rivers 'so they will not damage farms in the spring is the purport of an amended resolu- ¥on passed by the senate. There .will not be telephone lines built on both sides of the road after this if a bill by Representative John Rustad of Whalen should pass. It gives the second company the right to string its wires on the poles and cross-bars of existing lnes, this right to be acquired by condemnation. Stephenson Lacks Five Votes.
