{ | GOUNTY COMMISSIONERS HANDLED MUGH BUSINESS Continued from First Page built, the members of the county board of Ramsey county having visited Bemidji recently and inspect- ed the Beltrami county jail, and they desired to build a similar jail. An important action taken by the board was the adoption of a resolu- tion requiring Frank Chapman, supervisor of assessments, to report to the board as found 1909, all logs, lumber, cedar poles and posts, etc., along the M. & I, M. R. L. & M, the Wilton Spur and the Canadian Northern railways within the county. The board voted to officially estab- lish State Road No. 4, which would | commence at the southwest corner; of Section 9, Town of Northern, and extending in a northeasterly direc- tion through the villages of Turtle River, Farley, Tenstrike and Black- duck and tbence straight north to and terminating at the village of | Spooner on the canadian boundary line. It is understood that at pres- ent there is no intention of spending | any other than state funds on this proposed road. A letter - was read by the auditor from Patrick J. Lynch, county attorney of St. Louis county, in which tbe latter stated that he had been instructed to take legal steps to collect a bill against Bel-! trami county, whereby St. Louis claimed the sum of $29.05 for the committment of Andrew Mock, in- sane, whom it was claimed wasa resident of this county. The letter was tabled, and it was the opinion of the board that Mr. Lynch be al- owed to take such legal steps as he saw fit. County Auditor Wilmann read a communication from the State High-! way commission, in which it was stated that the commission had allotted the sum of $1853 for the year beginning July 1, ending July 1, 1910, In the use of this money it is always necessary for the county to expend twice the amount furnished by the | highway commission. It is stated in the letter from the commission that the sum allotted to Beltrami county is the maximum amount allowed any county. The county attorney submitted a written communication relative to several accounts that have “‘hung fire.” The communication was a lengthy epistle, and will be given in part in tomorrow’s Pioneer. The board reconvened this after- noon and was busy with bills and communications, it being the inten- tion of Chairman Danaher to finish the business either before 6 o’clock or complete the work with an even- ing session and adjourn tonight.

Again he was ssked, this| the game laws, and he has always managed to escape punishment, it being alleged that he was given assistance by people living in Black- duck to whom he sold venison and moose meat. He has lived for sev- JESSE HARRY. eral years on Third river, about seventeen miles southeast of Black- duck, and has always hunted big game, in and out of season, using two or three dogs, and selling the meat at Blackduck and other points. Noble had a system of protection that® insured his safety, although several of the best wardens in the employ of the State Game and Fish Commission were sent to cause his arrest and conviction. Of late, Jesse Harry, a Grand Rapids war- den of the state commission, has been working in the Third river country and has secured several convictions of reckless hunters and game dealers there, and he has been waiting a favorable opportunity to “grab” Noble. The opportunity to convict Noble came a few days ago, when Mr. Harry was able to get positive, undisputable evidence that Noble had killed a cow moose on July 6, 1907, and he caused the arrest of the Third river pot hunter, taking him to Grand Rapids for trial. Noble was arraigned before Justice Kearney at Grand Rapids yesterday, where he was convicted by a jury of killing the cow moose; and Justice Kearney fined him $75 and costs, amounting in all to $168.55, or in default of payment thereof, to serve seventy-five days in the county jail. Noble was unable to furnish the amount of the fine yesterday and was held in jail, awaiting the payment of the money. Jesse Harry is entitled to great credit in “landing” Noble and secur- ing his conviction. Noble is one of the worst pot hunters in the state, and his conviction will be good news to all who desire to protect the big game of the northern woods, and stop traffic in moose meat and venison. PAYNE RESENTS INTERRUPTIONS Republican Leader More Ag- gressive in Reply. DEBATE ON TARIFF BILL Chairman of Ways and Means Com: mittee Becomes Highly Indignani When Asked if the Measure, Taken as a Whole, Was Not “Revision Up: ward”—Says Duties on Luxuries Are Increased as They Ought to Be. ‘Washington, March 24—When the house met there was a slim attend- ance of members, which led Mr. Ma- con' (Ark) to suggest the absence of a quorum. As Mr. Payne was to con- /tinue his explanation of the tariff bill the Arkansas member said he should be given a full hearing. The point was not. pressed, however, and Mr. Payne took the floor. 3 No sooner had Mr. Payne begun than he was plied with questions from| time by Mr. Mooreé (Pa), if there would be an opportunity to offer amendments to the bill in the house, “or,” Mr. Moore added, “must we look elsewhere?” meaning the senate. “That,” replied Mr. Payne, “is en- tirely in the judgment of the house and in its control.” All he was seek- ing to do, he said, was to finish his speech and to him it seemed an im- possible task. In his replies to questions Mr. Payne was decidedly more aggressive. He became highly indignant when Mr. Garrett (Tenn.) inquired if, taking the bill as a whole, it was not “revision upward.” “The gentleman has no right to say that,” the Republican leader sharply announced. “It is-not falr to say that as an honorable man.” With a good deal of emphasis he declared that, taken as a whole, the revision was downward, but as to luxurles it was, he said, revision upward and ought to be. He said that any intelligent man could understand by reading the bill its general trend and he charged that the idea of interpellating such a re- mark as that made by Mr. Garrett was “not fair to me, to the committee nor to the country.,” Sharp Colloquy on Hides. An instant later Mr. Payne had a sharp colloquy with Mr. . Garner (Tex.), who asked for an explanation regarding free hides. “I will get to hides,” said Mr. Payne, hotly. “I know it is a local issue with the gentleman,? said he, and he add- ed, with an unconscious pun, “I know he will try to hide himself behind a revenue duty in order to meet the de- mands of those Democrats, in his dis- trict who are clamoring for a duty on hides.” “The Democrats -in my distriet,” quickly retorted Mr. Garner, “are also clamoring for free leuther, free har- ness and free shoes.” Continuing his explanation and an- swering many questions Mr. Payne said that the cut in the metal sched- ule would not destroy the tin plate industry in the United States. Mr. Payne made a general attack on the so called hide trust and said the “big four” packers controlled the hide industry in the United States. Mr. Garner asked the ways and means chairman if he thought the removal of the duty on hides was rendering the farmers a real benefit. “I do,” replied Mr. Payne with em- phasis. While Mr. Payne was discussing this schedule the members crowded the aisles and well in front of the rostrum. Frequently several ques- tions would be put by them at one time and there was constant demand on his attention. His good humor ap- parently had returned and he replied to each one in turn. ADMIRAL BERESFORD ON THE RETIRED LIST British Navy Loses s Most Picturesque Figure, London, March 24—Great Britain loses today the services of its most picturesque admiral and British pri- vate life galns a figure that has been much in the public eye in recent years. The sailor who retires today is Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, who has been in the naval service half a century. . According to the usual course of procedure in the British navy Admiral- Beresford would not have been re- tired until 1911. His retirement now i8 said to be due to his lack of sym- ADMIRAL BERESFORD. pathy with the admiralty and the de- sire of the naval authorities to group the channel squadron, which he has commanded, with the main fleet un- der the command of Vice Admiral May. Lord Beresford’s friends believe that he has been forced out of the navy by the faction that follows Sir John Fisher, first lord of the ad- miralty, with whom he hus recently waged a constant strife. The press is showing much interest as to whether Lord Beresford will stand for parliament, as he has done before, and debate naval policies. Admiral Beresford has visited Amer- ica frequently and has many friends 1in the United States. Adlai E. Stevenson Il Chicago, March 24—Former Vice President Adlai E.

SAID T0 HAVE _ REACHED POLE Antarctic Explorer Returns to New Zealand. —_— REPORT NOT CONFIRMED Lieutenant Shackleford, Head of the Expedition, Lands at Invercargill, N. Z.,; but Refuses to Discuss the Results of His Trip—Successful Out- come Announced In London by the Pall Mall Gazette. London, March 24.—Information has reached London, according to the Pall Mall Gazette, that the Antarctic ex- pedition under Lieutenant Ernest H. Shackleton of the British navy, which left England in July, 1907, reached the South pole. The secretary of the Royal Geo- graphical society said that he had no information as to Lieutenant Shackle- ton’s success, but this does not dis- prove the ‘statement, as it is known that Lieutenant Shackleton contracted to furnish the first news regarding his explorations to London newspapers. It is considered significant here that Lieutenant Shackleton, when he came ashore at Invercargill, N. Z., re- fused all information regarding the detalls of his exploration. He at once went to the cable office and dis- patched a message. He looked the picture of health and intimated that all his comrades were well, Lieutenant Shackleton’s expedition bade farewell to England at Cowes in July of 1907. The last visitors to his ship, the Nimrod, were King Edward and Queen Alexandra. His majesty presented the lieutenant with a Un- fon Jack, to which was attached a card bearing the message: “May this Union Jack, which I en- trust to your keeping, lead you safely to the South pole.” DECLINES TO DISCUSS TRIP Shackleton’s Expedition Arrives at In. vercargill, N. Z. Invercargill, N. Z., March 24.—The barkentine - Nimrod, -which early in 1908 took Lieutenant E. H. Shackle- ton’s Antarctic _expedition to the South, called here on her return. Lieutenant Shackleton declined to make any statement regarding his ex- plorations. The Nimrod later left for Lyttelton, the purt of Christ Church, N. Z. In July, 1907, the Nimrod, com- manded by Lieutenant Shackleton and carrying thirty-two men, including seci- entists, sailed from England for the Antorctic region, touching later at New Zealand to complete her provi- slons. Later an exploration party of twelve men, provisioned for two years and provided with Siberian ponies and dogs, was left in camp at Mount Ere- bus and last December the Nimrod left New Zealand to pick up the ex- plorers and return them to England. Lieutenant Shackleton has had ex- perience as an Arctic explorer as a member of expeditions under Captain Scott in 1902-3. RATE ON GRAIN IS REDUGED Cut of 1!, Cents a Bushel From Buf- falo to New York. New York, March 24.—Rates from Buifalo to New York on grain for ex- port have been cut from 5% cents to 4 cents per bushel. This reduction follows a protest made by the New York Produce Exchange, which claimed that this port was belag dis- criminated against in favor- of Mon- treal and other Canadian points. The reduction takes effect April 26 and will continue for at least sixty days. It is understood that the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western raflroad was the first system running into New York to cut the rate and all of the other roads have filed similar sched- ules with the interstate commerce commission. KILLS MAN BY BLOW OF FIST Follower of James and Younger Boys Exonerated by Coroner. Higginsville, Mo., March 24~J. R. McCormick, eighty-five years old, a veteran of the Mexican and Civil wars, died at the Confederate home as the result of a fist blow by “Jim” Cummings. ° Cummings was a fol- lower of the noted train and bank rob- bers, the James and Younger boys. A coroner’s jury returned a Verdiet that McCormick came to his death from a blow delivered by Cummings, but as McCormick was the aggressor Cum: mings was held blameless, FILIPINOS OBJECT T0 THE PAYNE BILL Predict Serious Results If Passed in Prasam_‘an Manila, March 24—Contrary to ex- Dectations the Philippine = assembly. did not take any action on the Payne. tariff bill.

The National Association of Tanners and the National Shoe Manu- facturers’ association have sent ap- peals to members throughout the country to join in the fight. MINISTER KILLS ANOTHER Missouri Divines Quarrel Over Busi- ness Matters, Lebanon, Mo., March 24.—At Russ, a remote town in Laclede county, Rev. Martin D. Johnson, aged forty, shot- and killed Rev. Solomon Odell, aged forty-six. Johnson .is the Bap- tist minister of the neighborhood, while Odell was the Presbyterian divine of Russ. The men quarreled over business matters. Johnson is president of the Laclede County Telephone company and Odell represents the. Farmers’ Telephone company, a rival concern. A meeting was held in the postoffice at Russ looking to a combination of the two concerns. Jokinson says that Odell made a remark about him in the meeting. = Later they met on the street and Johnson informed Odell that they" should settle’ their differ- ences then. Odell agreed and was removing his coat when Johnson drew his revolver and fired the fatal shot. Johnson then fled. Later, however, he returned and gave himself up.
