ET Baking Powder Received Highest Award . World’s Pure Food Exposition Chicago, 1907, HOOK-AND-LINE FISHING " SEASON “ON" TOMORROW Continued from First Page each case to be made from the tip of the snout to the fork of the tail. The law also specifically states that no person shall take or kill more than twenty-fibe fish, except sunfish, perch, pickerel or bullheads, in any one day; norin any other manner than by angling for them with a hook and line held in the hand, or attached to a rod so held, or with a line with more than one hook attached thereto; and it is unlawful to have any flsh in one’s posession caught otherwise than prescribed in the law. The law remains unchanged relative to pickerel, suckers, red- horse, carp and bullheads, which may be taken with a spear without limit at any time, but no artificial lights shall be used in taking said fish during the months of May and June, each year, At the session of the legislature, recently closed, there was passed a bill forbidding the sale of pike, or having in possession with intent to sell, expose or offer for sale or sell to any person pike caught in lakes or waters of this state which may have been heretofore or shall hereafter be stocked with wall- eyed pike fry of the game and fish commission of this state, at any time, or shall cause to .be shipped or have in possession with intent to ship for purpose of sale to any person either within or without the state any such fish or have any such wall-eyed pike in his possesion except during the season for taking same. Another amendment which the the legislature made this winter was that no person should catch, take or kill any fish in any lake or stream within fifty feet of any fishway, or have in his possession or in his con- trol any fish so caught, taken or killed. Prior to the adoption of this amendment this winter the law pre- scribed that no person should fish | within 400 feet of a fishway. This section of the law is construed to in- clude fishing within fifty feet of a dam whether the dam is provided with a fishway or not. Mass Meeting this Evening.

A question has been raised as to whether the board of county com- missioners has the right to appropri- ate money for the purpose of mak- ing a county exhibit at the state fair, and there has been a contro- versy over this proposition for several years past. In order to fully legalize such an act on the part of the commissioners, the late legisla- ture adopted a law which covers the matter, and which is as follows: *'An act to amend section one (1) of chapter.99, General Laws of 1907, relating to appropriation of money by counties to be used for the pur- pose of maintaining an exhibit at the state fair. “Be it enacted by the legislature of the State of Minnesota: Section 1. That section 1 of chapter 99. General Laws of 1907, be, and the same hereby is amended 50 as to read as follows: “Section 1. The board of county commissioners of any county in the state is hereby authorized and em- powered to appropriate out of the general revenue fund of said county, such a sum of money, not ex- ceeding five hundred dollars ($500.- 00) annually, as they may deem ad- visable for the purpose of assisting to maintain an exhibit of the pro- ducts of said county at the Minne- sota state fair, “Sect. 2. This act shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage, “Approved Feb. 25, 1909.” Under the provisions of this law, the board may appropriate any part of the sum of $500 for a county exhibit at the state fair. W. R. Mackenzie, of the Beltrami County Agricultural assnciation, has asked the Beltrami county board for a small appropriation, that the county fair people may make an exhibit at Hamline this fall, in connection with Clearwater county, the latter county having already appropriated the sum of $150 for Mr. Mackenzie’s use, the latter having agreed to take charge of their exhibit.

GENERAL HAINS ON STAND Testifies In Behalf of His Son in Mur der Trial. Flushing, N. Y. April 80.—General Peter C. Hains, retired, the aged fa- ther of Captain Peter C. Hains, Jr., of the coast artillery, who is on trial for the murder of William E. Annis at the Bayside Yacht, club last August, took the stand as the first witness for the defense at the resumption of the trial. John F. Mcl Intyre. counsel for the aerense, expected to occupy two o1 three hours with the direct examina tion of the general, taking him over many of the early incidents of his son’s life to show the captain’s irri table and nervous temperament as a child and his many irrational acts pri- or to May, 1908, when he first learned of the alleged improper conduct of his wife, Claudia, with Annis. The de fense contends that his troubles drove him into a state of total insanity, sub Ject to violent maniacal outbursts, dur- ing one of which he shot down the man who he believed had ruined his home. ‘While his father was testifying the prisoner sat with his face toward the jury and paid no attention to him General Hains testified that he dis covered at an early period of Captait Hains” life that the boy was suffering from excessive nervousness. He de scribed the conduct of Claudia Hains toward her husband during their early marriage as that of a “loving wife.’ He said that they were very happy until 1908. TRIP AROUND WORLD WRECKED THE NAVY New York Paper Prints Sensa- tional Article, New York, April 30.—The World prints the following story: The navy department has an nounced that the sixteen battleships which made the trip around the world are to be remodeled, thus practically confirming the reports current since the return of the fleet that the voy: age practically wrecked the navy. Since the return of the fleet it has been reported at various times that masts had been sprung, plates loos: ened and that the intricate electrical machinery, including the fire control, was hopelessly out of order and other things had happened. Nevertheless, the navy department insists the ships stood the voyage better than expect: ed, which leaves to the imagination what the original expectation or fear had been. It is proposed to make of the six- teen battleships a type something like the old Monitor, save that the new type will have more freeboard. All the cumbersome superstructure which at present adorns the battleships and which affords a splendid mark to the enemy’s guns will be taken off. All that will appear above the decks will be a turret fore and aft and the funnels for boilers and the wire “waste basket” type of mast, which will be used for the lookouts. 1t is fine food for the critics of the navy department that of the twenty- five first class battieships in the navy only four are in condition for service. They point out the fact that the Amer- ican citizens in Asiatic Turkey are compelled to look for protection of their lives and interests to such Brit- ish battleships as are in the Mediter- ranean waters. NOT LIABLE FOR DAMAGES Federal Judge Says Correspondents Are Exempt. Louisville, April 30.—Correspond- ents of newspapers and publications cannot be considered agents of such in any action for damages for libel- ous statements, according to a ruling by Judge Walter Evans in the fed- eral court.

Miller for the publication of an article about a local furniture company, in which the wrong company was named. Judge Evans held that the correspond- ent sold his wares to the publication like any other customer and could not be included in tha snit EVER WATCHFUL A Little Care Will Save Many Bemidji Readers Future Trouble.
