THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER PUBLISHED EVERY AFTHRNOON, BEMIDIl PIONEER PUBLISHING CO. €. J. PRYOR. G B.CARSON. A. G. RUTLEDGE, News Editor. Watered in the postoffice at Bomidil. Mine., = second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM “THOU SHALT NOT STEAL.” There isa “hot time” promised in the hereafter for thecommon thief who steals money, or property of any kind; but the various authors of the good book were probably not cognizant of that meanest of all purloiners, the fellow who can’t fill his own paper with good, live matter and steals from his exchanges (or, if he does not exchange takes someone else’s paper), never so much as mentioning the source from which he got his “copy.” One of the worst offenders in this line of petty thievery is the Crooks- ton Daily Times, of which J. P. Dottson is the proprietor and Thomas Brown, Jr., the managing editor. The Pioneer has had occa- sion to call the attention of the public to this stealing on several occasions of late; but the “swiping” goes merrily on. The latest offense was committed last Saturday, when the Times people printed bodily from the columns of the Pioneer a column write-up of the opening of the hook- and-line fishing season. The writer put in a good hour’s work looking over the law supplements and ascer- taining just what laws had been amended, and the same matter could not possibly have been orginally se- cured by the Timesman, as the article was verbatim the same as that published in the Pioneer, except that the Times scribe was compelled to change the reference to Warden Bailey being a local man. All good brethern of the press should join in giving the Times a real lively ‘‘roasting” for the piratical methods it pursues, as the Pioneer is not the only paper that has a grievance in this line against the Crookston daily. HUMPHREY AT WHITE HOUSE Jurist Criticised by Roosevelt Calls on Taft. Washington, May 5.—Judge J. Otls Humphrey of the Southern district of Illinofs, who gave the decision that meant immunity for the alleged beef trust,.is not persona non grata at the ‘White House these days. A few months ago he would not have ven- Sured across its portals, but now he fearlessly entered the president’s silice and got a friendly reception JUDGE HUMPHREY. from Mr. Taft, who greeted him with the salutation: “I have heard of you before, Judge. Mr. Taft had reference to the mes- sage sent to congress by his prede- cessor urging the passage of a bill glving the government the right of appeal in criminal cases, in which Mr. Roosevelt unreservedly expressed his opinion of Judge Humphrey, along with other federal judges, mentioned by name, whose decisions in cases in which the government was interested did not meet his approval.

ADD TO CONFLAGRATION Make Pretense of Throwing Water on the Flames, but Are Using Kerosene Instead—Believed the Authorities Intend to Permit the Extermination of All Christians Residing in the Disturbed Districts. Adana, Asiatic Turkey, May 5— Adana is still lawless. More people are being killed in the city. There are 30,000 dead in Adana province as a result of the massacres and 35,000 homeless and penniless refugees are wandering in the vilayet. The deaths in Adana city alone are estimated ‘at 6,500. Adana is terrorized by 4,000 sol- diers, who are looting, shooting and burning. No respect is paid to for- eign properties. Both the French schools have been destroyed and it is feared that the same fate awaits the American school. Commercial and missionary interests in Adana are totally ruined. The new vali has not as yet in- spired confidence. There is reason to Lelieve that the authorities still in- tend to permit the extermination of all Christians. The troops here are making a pretense of throwing “wa- ter” on the flames; instead of water they use kerosene and are thus pur- posely adding to the conflagration. Apprehension is felt here regarding the American missionary stations at Hadjin and Tarsus. All letters and telegrams sent out throngh Turkish channels are cen- sered. AWFUL ATROCITIES RELATED Details of Slaughter of Armenians Around Tarsus. Tarsus, Asiatic Turkey, April 24, via Constantinople, May 5.—Authentic details of the atrocities committed by the fanatical Mohammedans in the villages and farms in this district are now coming into Tarsus with sicken- ing abundance. The worst particu- lars of these narratives cannot be mentioned, but they set forth without doubt that at least 10,000 persons lost their lives in this province and some estimates place the total casualties at 25,000. Villages like Osmanich, Baz- sche, Hamadieh, Kara, Kristian, Keoy and Kezolook were actually wiped out. Each of these places had populations of from 500 to 600 people. In one town of 4,000 people there are fewer than 100 left, nearly all women and children. It was the same thing with the hundreds of chiftlikes, or farms, that dot this wide and fertile plain. The slaughter was unsparing, even Greeks and Syrians being struck down with the Armenians. Entire families were burned to death in their homes. Hundreds of girls and wo- men were maltreated and carried off to the harems. The correspondent was informed that at one place a party of 100 Ar- menians surrendered to the soldiers. The prisoners were taken to an open field, where the women were ordered lo stand apart from the men. BHvery one of the men was then shot. In many cases they were done to death with their women clinging to them, trying to save their lives. Young Tuarks around Tarsus are trading Armenian girls for horses anrd modern repeating rifles. The entire ten days secm to have been an insen- sate orgy of lust and violence in the name of race and religion. NEW COMPANY IN CONTROL Crouch Line in South Dakota Out of Receiver’s Hands.

Owens 1s dead at the city hospital here of a malady diagnosed by physicians as the sleeping sickness.

Barker’s Drug Stere OPPOSES STATUE OF ALEXANDER HAMILTON He Should Be Forgotten, ‘Washington, May +—War is to be made by Senator Johnson of North Dakota on the effort to erect a statue of Alexander Hamilton on the public square in this city. He has intro- duced a resolution repealing the res- olution providing for such a memorial. “I want that man forgotten as soon as possible,” said Senator Johnson. “I do not want an effigy of Hamilton MARTIN N. JOHNSON. put up here as a model for any young man. If some people want such a statue let them buy the ground some- where on which to place it. “They propose to put it near the ‘White House on a public square and I will make war on it. If it is put there in less than 100 years that statue will be dynamited, for the American people will not tolerate it. Alexander Hamilton was one of the most contemptible rakes we have ever known in this country. His mili- tary service was not sufficient to war- rant the erection of a memorial to him and his legislative service was only in representing a New York city district in the legislature of his state, which is not sufficient for such dis- tinction. He advocated the election of the president and the senate by wealthy people of the country and upon failing to have his idea adopted left the constitutional convention and ‘went home. As secretary of the treas- ury he favored allowing the wealthy people of the country to control the government.” More Executions in Turkey.
