Arranging Fire Tournament, Cass Lake, May 5.—(Special to Pioneer.)—An enthusiastic meeting of the members of the local fire de- partment was held last evening and active preparations were begun for the firemen’s tournament which will be held here June 22-23-24-25 of this year. All the committees which will have charge of the different matters were appointed, and from the in- terest manifested itis asafe pre- diction to say that the coming tour- nament will be one of the most memorable in the history of the assocation, Already flve teams have registered and each will send a running team. Secretary Ittner has been in communication with several depart- ments, and trom the correspondence received by him it is believed that at least five other teams will register before the date of the tournament. The local firemen have already began getting the track into shape. It will soon be covered with cinders, and from then until the tournament will be rolled every day so that the course will be in excellent coudition. New City Fire Company. to attend all fires occurring north of Tenth street in this city, was formed Monday evening at a meeting held in the A fire company, Cottage grocery store on Irvin ave-| nue and Eleventh street. Twenty-one men were present and Chief Earl Geil, of the Bemidji -fire department, presided at the meeting. Mr. Geil appointed C. A. Parker as temporary captain until the com- pany elects its officers. The object of the organizations is to get men quickly to the fires ini the rorthern part of the city, es- pecially during the summer months until the new water system is com- pleted as the water pressure is very low in that part of the town. The enterprise is very commendable and will doubtless be the means of { scheduled fifteen rounds. Whitehead and Gunther Draw. Duluth, May 5.—(Special to Pio- neer.)—Walter Whitehead, the Du- luth colored heavyweight champion “pummeler” of the northwest, and George Gunther, the Melbourne colored pugilist known as the.“Kan- garoo,” fought fitteen fast rounds to a draw, near here, last night. Whitehead broke a bone in his right hand, in the tenth round, but continued to the finish of the Both men finished strong, and there was little to choose as to which had made the better showing. Heretofore, Whitehead has been putting all opponents “to sleep” in “jig time,” but in Gunther he met a cool and determined fighter whose style bothered him much. Whitehead fights a little over 165 pounds, wtile Gunther is a middle- weight. It is likely that a finish fight will be arranged between the two men, to be pulled ofi later, somewhere in the northwest. Boat Club Meeting. At a meeting of the Bemidji Boat Club, held in the Markham hotel last evening, the club adopted for its penant a dark navy blue back- ground with a monogram “B. B. C.” in white, which will be carried by all launches belonging to members of the club. The penant is about four feet long and is very pretty, as well as servicable. Steps were taken to assist the city authorities in cleaning up the lakeshore and preparations discussed for deepening the channel of the Mississippi river between Lakes Be- midji and Irvin and also below the outlet accross Lake Bemidji from the city. The club is also planning on several regattas to be held during the summer. The club is popular among the local launch owners and | the membership is growing steadily.

It was through his novel, “The Scalp Hunters,” that Captain Mayne Reid ‘won a bride. He was thirty years old ! when he met a damsel of thirteen, with whom he at once fell in love. The child teok no notice of him, but he gave her the story to read. Two years later the young lady was at a public meeting where Captain Reid spoke on behalf of the Polish refugees. “An electric thrill seemed to pass through me as he entered the room,” she said afterward, and when the meeting was |- over she went up to him. “I leave for London on the next train,” he said hur- riedly. “Please send me your ad- dress.” “I do not know where,” she replied, with some embarrassment. He instantly handed out his card and was gone. A formal little note followed: “Dear Captain‘Reid—As you asked me to send you my' address, I do so.” By return of post came the answer, “Only say that you love me and I will be with you at once,” and then the reply, “I think T do love you.” Mr. Higgins spent the day in Be- patterns.

CABINET DISCUSSES CASE Announced That Mr. Taft Intends to Devote Much Time This Summer to a Study of the Question of Corpora- tion Control, the Recent Supreme Court Decision Having a Bearing on the Investigation. ‘Washington, May 5.—The decision of the supreme court of the United States in the case of the “commodities clause” of the Hepburn railroad rate law was discussed at the cabinet meeting. President Taft repeatedly has announced that he intends to take up and study the question of the con- trol of corporations during the sum- mer months and the “commodities clause” decision undoubtedly will have a distinet bearing on his considera- tion of the matter. It was said (hat Mr. Taff will devote himself largely to the subject of recommending te congress the passage of legislation which will prevent the possibility of an evasion of the clause by the coal railroads. TUnder the decision of the court the railrcads can carry coal for any com- pany which they do not own outright. Through holding companies, however, they could control the mines and the transportation of the output as though no law on the subject existed. To remedy the act in this respect will be the question to which the president will first direct his inquiry. Mr. Taft also will have recommen- dations to make as to legislation tend- ing to bring railroads and other cor- porations more definitely under gov- ernment regulations. DISCUSSES AN INCOME TAX Senator Borah Continues Speech on Tariff Bill. ‘Washington, May ‘-—Resumlng his speech on the income tax amendment to the pending tariff bill Senator Bo- rah again referred to the legal status of the Pollock case, in which the su- preme court of the United States- de- eided that the tax was not constitu- tional. He combatted the idea that SENATOR BORAH. the framers of the Constitution did not know what were direct taxes, as had often been contended. He be- lieved that they had in mind a defi- nite idea of the nature of such taxes, which did not apply to such a tax as was proposed on incomes. Mr. Borah contended that the prin- ciple of the income tax applies to the Inheritance tax, which is either a tax on real estate or on the right to tax real estate. If one was unconstitu- tional the other was equally so. AGED MOTHER ON THE STAND Mrs. Hains Testifies at the Trial of Her Son. Flushing, L. I, May 5—Mrs. Vir- glnia Hains, mother of Captain P. C. Hains, on trial for the murder of W. BE. Annis, was called to testify. She appeared quite feeble and Major Hains, her son, assisted her to the witness stand. Mrs. Hains glanced at Captain Hains as she passed by him in the courtroom, but there was no sign of recognition on the defend- ant’s face. Mrs. Hains’ hair is al- most white. She spoke distinctly, but appeared a little nervous when she began her testimony. Mr. McIntyrs asked her about her own early life and the time of Captain Hains' birth. Mrs. Hains said she had been sub- ject to dizzy spells for several years previous to her son’s birth. She told how Captaln Hains suffered from nightmares when he was two and three years old. He would spring up in bed and cry out, she said, and it was difficult to restrain him. Mrs. Hains related the story of the accident when her son, at the age of nine years, fell down the hatchway of the lighthouse tender Pharos. She said this fall had a very serious effect and that her son suffered from severe nervous headaches for a long time afterward. Under cross-examination by Mr. De- ‘Witt Mrs. Halns broke down com- pletely and had to be excused from the witness stand. She was led sob- bing from the courtroom. as Justice Garretson ordered a short recess. VIOLATION OF LAW ALLEGED Manager of Socialist Paper on Trial in Federal Court.

WOMEN'S WORK IN INTEREST OF PEACE Hold Special Session at Chi- cago Gongress. Chicago, May 5.—Discussion of the commercial and industrial aspects of universal and permanent peace was the feature of the second day’s session of the second national peace congress in this city. Special sessions were set apart for consideration of women’s work in the interests of peace and for the part which universities and colleges have played in the great problem. The woman’s session was held un- der the auspices of the Chicago Wo- man’s club. Mrs. Ellen M. Henrotin of this city presided. Mrs. Lucia Ames Mead of Boston spoke on “Five Dangerous Fallacies.” She said in part: “The world surely will see during this century an international police, but rival navies and armies are doomed. These monstrous anachron- isms of civilization must be turned into beneficent messengers of com- merce. “Human nature is changing, but whether it changes or not the busi- ness of the world will not much long- er tolerate two nations making a cock- Dpit of the people’s highways and drag- ging neutral nations into commercial loss. A comparatively few*influential persons in a few influential countries can and will end international war. It is chiefly a question of statesman- ship.” Louis P. Lochner of Madison, Wis., was the principal speaker at the col- lege session. Other speakers were Professor William I. Hull of Swarth more college, Pennsylvania, and James Brown Scoit, solicitor of the state de- partment, Washington. BARRED FROM CITIZENSHIP Jap Who Served in American Navy Turned Down. Norfolk, Va., May 5.—Federal Judge Edmund Waddill, Jr., of the United States court for the Eastern district of Virginia, in the application for nat- uralization of Namyo Bessho, a Japa- nese ‘“chief steward” in the United States navy, denies the petition, hold- ing that under the federal statute no Japanese or alien except of white Dblood or of African descent or nativity can become an American citizen, even though he has seen service in the TUnited States navy or marine corps. Bessho claimed the right of nat- uralization under the act of congress of July 26, 1894, giving an alien of the age of twenty-one years and upwards who has served honorably in the navy or marine corps the rights of citizen- ship after proper court form.

Would Let Folks Know It. Somebody sent "this to the soclety editor and made affidavit that it really happened. Here it is: They were out at an aft- ernoon card party. A stout woman dropped a card to the floor. “Would you be so kind as to pick up that card for me?” she inquired of the little wo- man at her right, “Certainly,” sald the accommodating woman at the right, picking up the card. 3 “You see,” explained the stout wo- man apologetically, “I've got on a brand new fifty dollar corset, and I'm afraid T'll strain it if T lean over.” “Hum!”. commented the other wo- man enviously. “If I had a fifty dol- lar corset I'd wear it on the outside. I really would.”— Cleveland ~Plain Dealer. R S —y = SOUTH BEND WATCHES Keep Time li‘rozen ina Solid Cake of Ice .
