GAME WARDEN BAILEY IS APPREHENDING HUNTERS “‘Jack” Ross of Houpt Plead Guilty to Having Killed a Moose, Out of Season. Game Warden S. C. Bailey of Be- midji has been rather active during the past ten days, looking up com- plaints of violations of the big game laws, with the result that he has suc- ceeded in convicting one man of having killed a moose, and found the carcass of another moose, the slayer of which is still at liberty, and if it is found that he has not left the state, the violator will be taken into custody and prosecuted. On Saturday “Jack” Ross, who lives near Houpt, plead guilty, before Justice C. G. Mealey at Houpt to having killed a moose, the latter part of January, near Houpt. Ross was arrested by the warden and the evidence was so strong against him that he did not fight the case, but plead guilty and was fined $50 and costs, which he paid. Warden Bailey also found the carcass of a moose at a point about four miles northwest of Mizpah, but has not yet apprehended the man who shot the animal. Mr. Bailey is doing good work as warden and being complimented by the executive agent of the Game & Fish commission. Art Exhibit For Schools. The Horace K. Turner Art com- pany of Boston, Mass., will hold one of their large exhibits of copies of the world’s famous works of art in the Bemidji High School on Friday and Saturday, April 2d and 3d.

JESTER HAS SOME VERY GLEVER SWORD FISH Continued from First Page for an hour and then went home, deciding on taking out the chunks of ice for his ice house as fastas they were sawed. And now, “AL” Jester asserts that he filled three ice houses, simply by taking the ice from _the lake as it was sawed by his fish. As Jester is an honored member of Bemidji Lodge, No. 1052, B. P. O. E, and bears an enviable repu- tation for truth and veracity, there can be no question as to the story about those fish; at least there should not be, as “Al” agrees.to show any skeptical person the exact spot on the lake where the ice was taken from.

The Ploneer has received many compliments, the sincenty of which we ' have reason to doubt, on the excellence of the recent souvenir magazine of Beltrami County and Bemidji, which we recently printed and issued. ‘These complimentary expressions are greatly appreciated, and we are pleased that our efforts were the re- sult of giving general satisfaction. In aletter to the Pioneer, Con- gressman Steenerson says of the edition: “Washington, March 22, 1909. “I am in receipt of the special edition of the Pioneer and to my mind a nicer boom of any city or surrounding country has never beemr written. I wish to compliment you, and your staff, upon the excellent work done.” Under the caption of “A Fine Edition,” the Tenstrike Tribune says of the Pioneer’s souvenir edition: “A copy of the special edition just issued by the Bemidji Daily Pioneer reached us this week, and is the finest we have seen. The edition is neatly gotten up in magazine form and contains 108 pages of the very best material, devoted to the financial, industrial, agricultural and landed interestes of Beltrami and surround- ing counties, embellished with excel- lent half-tone cuts of business men, businéss buildings, public buildings, churches, and other interesfing lake, timber, county and Indian scenes. Itis a splendid advertisement for Bemidji and Beltrami county %nd shows up properly its great advant- ages. *“The Pioneer management is to be such a great undertaking.” As this “boost edition” is a good thing to send away as showing the enterprise of Bemidji, the Pioneer has reserved a limited number of copies which will be sold at the office. As there was a large expense connected with issuing the magazine it has been found recessary to place the price at 50 cents per copy.

HOUSE PASSES THE MEASURE Its Provisons Are Similar to Those of the Famous Rockne Bill, Which Was Killed Two Years Ago—House Also Passes the Commodity Rate Bill With the Penalty Clause Omitted. St. Paul, March 27.—Two railroad measures, the J. N. Johnson bill for the regulation of stock and bond is- sues by railroads and -the redrafted commodity rate bill, were passed by the house. 5 i The Johnson bill is practically the same bill as the famous Rockne bill which the house killed two years ago. When Attorney General . T. Young tried to compel the Great Northern to get the permission of the railroad com- mission before making its proposed stock issue, he found the old law de- fective and drew the bill which A. J. Rockne, now speaker, introduced. The bill caused one of the liveliest fights of the session. J. J. Hill and others representing the Great Northern and the Soo road fought the bill before the committee, and the attorney general and his friends fought just as hard tor. it. This year the bill was introduced guietly by the member from Canby and caused little stir in the commit- tee, although General Solicitor W. R. Begg of the Great Northern and some others appeared at one hearingin op- position to the bill. The bill was a special order in the morning, was de- layed until the afternoon and after a short discussion sixty-three members cast their votes for the bill and forty- four against it. ¥ Lennon’s Resolution Passed. J. G. Lennon of Minneapolis called up his resolution providing for a com- mittee ‘of five representatives and three senators to confer with the rail- roads to see if some settlement of the freight rate suits could not be arrived at. Mr. Lennon’s resolution called at- tention to the fact that S. F. 39, the commodity rate law of two years ago with the penalty clause stricken out, had passed the senate and was before the house, and said that the bill ‘would accomplish nothing except to keep up the litigation. Some of the house members feared that if this committee were appointed the only result would be to delay and possibly prevent the passage of S. F. 39. The present law with its drastic penalties is held unconstitutional by the court, and the attorneys for the state had advised its re-enactment without the penalties, and L. C. Spooner told the house that it was ab- solutely necessary to pass the amend- ed law if the rate suits are to be suc- cessful.” So the house struck all refer- ence to 'S. F. 39 out of the Lennon resolition and passed the bill under suspension of the rules. Then they passed the Lennon resolution. s The 6 per cent gross earnings bill, Introduced by Mr. Spooner, was re- ported to the house for indefinite post- ponement and the report was adopted. The county assessor bill, which was voted down in the house last Wednes- day, was resurrected on motion of C. K. Melby of Minnesota. Immediately following this action Henry Rines of Moro secured a reconsideration of the bill exempting $200 of the personal property of each family from taxation, Which had been killed the same day. This latter bill was placed on the calendar. Opposed to Reapportionment. Only seventeen state senators voted in favor of a reapportionment of the senatorial and legislative districts of the state, when the matter came up for consideration in the senate on the majority and minority reports from the reapportionment committee. This probably means that there will be no reapportionment for another four years, as at the next session all of the senators will just have entered upon a Afour-year term, and probably will not vote themselves out of office af that time. A large majority of the senators did not want to discuss any Teapportion- ment bill and the report of postpone- ment of the bill carried with 38 af- firmative and 17 negative votes. There will be no change in the pres- ent system of handling state lands. This was- decided when the senate killed three different proposals to make more extended provision for the lands, forests and minerals of the state. The bills introduced by Sena- tors Nelson, Works and Canfield were killed after full debate. There were twenty-seven votes for the Canfield bill, the nearest any one of them came to passing. The house adopted a resolution in- troduced by C. M. Bendixen of Morgan protesting against the reduction of the tariff on barley from 320 to 15 cents, as’proposed in the Payne tariff bill now under consideration in con- gress. +The abolition of passes to the grand stand at the state fair is recommend- ed by the special house committee, headed by J. T. Johnson of Fergus Falls, which has been investigating the state fair board’s doings. IN EMBARRASSING POSITION Wealthy Man in Pullman Car Loses -Cash and Clothing.” + Columbus, 0., March 29.—J. J. Tier- ney, a coal operator of Elking, W. Va., who left Cleveland over the Big Four railroad, found himself in the embar- rassing position of-fiot being able to leave: the train at.Columbus for want of proper clothing and without money enough left to purchase a meal. ‘He, Was asleep on a Pullman car ‘when some one stole his trousers, $65 in money, a gold watch, two railroad mileage ks | everything else in’ Tierney was compelled to leave the I sleeper in Columbus, as it went on through, but he was given the use of a Big Four coach, on which he stayed House to Expedite Debate on Tariff Bill in the Big Four yards until Pullman Agent Morrison could get a check cashed for him and purchase him a pair of trousers. BREAKS SPEED AGREEMENT Chicago-St. Paul Lines Aroused by Action of Milwaukee Road. Chicago, March 29.—The intense rivalry which exists between the Chi- cago-St. Paul lines was increased by the official announcement by the Chi- cago, M{lwaukee and St. Paul road of its intention to run two Pioneer lim- ited trains. 5 As a matter of fact the new train will be a first section of the famous Pioneer limited traln and has been running as such for some time when| travel demanded two trains instead of one. The fact that the new train will fracture the speed agreement a little adds to the feeling of uncertainty re- garding what is likely to happen among the Chicago-St. Paul lines. COMMERCE COUNCIL MEEiING | Discusses Needs of Trade With Secre- tary of Commerce and Labor, ‘Washington, March -29.—The first officlal meeting of Secretary of Com- merce and Labor Nagel with the na- tional council of commerce took place today in the department over which the secretary presides. Secretary Na- gel expressed much interest in the work of the council, which was or- ganized during the term of his prede- @essor, Secretary Straus., Plans for BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT Sessions WIill Begin Hereafter at 10 a. m, and Continue ~Until 10:30 p. m, With a Recess of Two Hours at 6 in the Evening—Mr. Payne Un- able to. State- How Long General Debate Will Last. % ‘Washington, March 29.—In order to expedite discussion of the tariff bill in the house unanimous consent was given that the sessions hereafter shall begin at 10 a. m. instead of 11, that a recess should be taken at 6 and that, resuming at 8 o'clock, the sessions should continue until 10:30 p. m. each day. The request for unanimous con- sent was made by Mr. Payne, who said that there already were forty or fifty members who had indicated their desire to speak. Mr. Clark of Missouri, the minority leader, asked how long general debate ‘would continue. He said he was much embarrassed by his lack of informa- tion. When his Democratic colleagues asked for time in which to speak he found it difficult to make allotments. Mr. Payne replied that he was suffer- ing under a similar embarrassment, but did not supply the information de- sired. ‘Without any intimation having been given as to when the general debate on the measure shall cease the bill ‘was laid before the hcuse. Mr. Harri- son of New York, the new Democratic member of the committee on ways and means, at once took the floor. He was followed by Representative Nich- olas Longworth and others. MANY ENDANGERED BY FIRE Elevator Boy's Quick Work Saves Lives of All. New York, March 29.—Through the quick work of an elevator boy the twenty-four families in the fashion- able Robert apartments on West One Hundred and Seventh street were got- ten out when fire, which had started on the fourth floor, filled the big apart- ment house with a dense smoke. ‘The elevator boy, Willilam Vanderhorf, went to the switch board on the ground floor, rang the telephones in all the apartments, telling the occu- pants to hurry to the halls and come down by the elevator. Then he ran the elevator up and down until every one on the six floors was taken down safely. IT GIVES THEM A "PAYNE" Citizens of Piper City, lll, Protest Against: Tariff Bill. ‘Washington, March 29.—Citizens of Piper City, IIl, take an interest in the tariff and they do not like the Payne bill.

" About fifty large bodies belong to the council, including such organiza- tlons as the National Association of Manufacturers, the American Cotton Manufacturers’ association and the Cattle Raisers’ association, GREAT RUSH OF IMMIGRANTS Over Ten Thousand Arrive at New York in One Day. New York, March 29.—More than 10,000 aliens arrived in New York in twenty-four hours. Classified by ships 1,979 immigrants were brought in on the steamer Sannio, from Genoa; 1,026 on the Ligunia, from Naples; 1,150 on the Adriatic,” from South- ampton; 775 on the Argentina, from Trieste; 2,056 on the Carpathia, from Trieste; 1,800 on the Cedric, from Genoa, and more than 1,300 on the Lusitania, from Liverpool. These figures indicate that all rec- ords on immigration to New York will be broken this year. The Italians are predominating as usual, with the Hun- garlans a close second and Scan- \.dinavians in third place. WEALTHY GUEST A NUISANGE Size of Bank Roll Disturbs Peace of Indiana Town. Crawfordsville, Ind.,, March 29.—A mysterious stranger, who said his name was J. D. Cunningham and that he lived at Rossville, IIl., so excited the village of Wingate, near this city, by displaying a bank roll of a size heretofore unimagined that the land- lord of the Wingate hotel, to restore peace in his house and the community, has ordered him to leave. The dis- turbingly wealthy guest went from this city to Wingate in an automobile which he bought here for $1,600 cash. The dealer would not let him'take the car out, however, until he had been assured at the bank that one of the purchaser’s $500. bills was real.
