SO0 ROAD WILL RUN THROUGH TENSTRIKE Such Was the Statement Made by the St. Paul Pioneer Press of Yesterday. ROAD WILL CROSS THE GREAT NORTHERN IN VICINITY BENA This, It Is Claimed, Is the Route Se- lected in Letting Construction Contract. The St. Paul Pioneer Press of yes- terday morning contained the follow- ing further particulars of the letting of the contract to build the Soo Thief River Ealls-Duluth extension, mention of which- was recently made in the Pioneer. According to the Pioneer Press article, the Soo has no intention of coming into Bemidji, it evidently -being the intention of the company torun as direct a line as possible from Bena (where a crossing will be made with the Great Northern) to Thief River Fails. The line, accord- ing to the Pioneer Press “latest,” will pass westward at about Ten- strike, as the Pioneer indicated when a map was recently published in this paper. From present indications, the Soo will not build into Bemidji, which, the Pioneer believes, after mature investigation of conditions, is a bad blunder on the part of the road. The Pioneer Press says: “The Soo railway has placed in the hands of Foley Bros., general contractors, Gilfillan block, a con- tract for 220 miles of railway to be constructed between Moose Lake on the company’s Duluth line and Thief River Falls on its Winnipeg line. The construction will take two years. “‘The lire as laid out will run from Moose Lake to Tamarack on the Northern Pacific’s Duluth line, thence to Bena at the foot of the Winnibigoshish lake »on the Crookston-Duluth line of the Great Northern, thence run across the Minnesota & International near Tenstrike, going a little north of due west along the Great Northern line until past Bemidji, then going northwest to Thief River Falls. “The work has been in the hands of the general contractors for several days and has not yet been let out to subcontractor. It is understood, however, that the eontractors will have their appara- tus bound for different points along the line within a few days.” Dr. Sanborn returned yesterday evening from a professional trip to Brainerd, whither he went yesterday CLASS PLAY WAS GIVEN WITH MANIEEST ABILITY [Continued from Fist Page.] other parts in the play were cast as follows: ‘“Asano-Yu-Nissi,” a Japan- ese nobleman, Olaf Hondrum; “Nao- Na,” his wife, Ethel Knox; “Masas sura,” "Mitsu’s” brother, Rachel- Rakerd; “Kimura Jamamota,” an- uther'noblcman. Helmer Kruse; “Senkai,” the priest, Emil Engels; two Japanese girls, Hazel Wells and Florence: Weekly; two American girls,” Arabelle Neal and Selma Witting, = The play was presented in a fine manner, each member of the cast giving his or her part well, and Miss Greaves, the high school principal, deserves much credit for the able way in which she drilled the actors. The hero and heroine deserve special mention for the efficient manner in which they took off their difficult parts. The costumes were appropriate and pretty and some of the char- acters looked especially fine in their foreign dress. The play was greatly enjoyed by all who saw it. |HOMESTEADER'S SKELETON DISCOVERED NEAR YOLA Frederick Seiforth, Aged 84, Dis- appeared From His Claim Near Yola, Sept. 20, 1907. The Yola correspondent of the Laporte News tells of the finding of the skeleton of a man, near Yola, which, it is that of a party who disappeared in 1907. Says the yola correspond- ent: « “Last Friday Mr. Laten found a man’s skeleton on the northeast corner of Sect. 14, Lake George Township. It is thot to be the remains of Fredrick Seiforth who wandered from his home Sept, 20, 1907. “Searching parties were organized at the time and a thorough search made for him, but he could not be found. The skeleton was found about 3 mile from his house. Mr. Seiforth was a man 84 years of age, and lived alone ona homestead.” At the time Seiforth disappeared, there was *considerable excitement as to possible foul play and there were dark hints that the aged home- steader had Leen murdered; but in- terest in the matter soon died down, and nothing more was thought of the matter until the discovery of the skeleton referred to above. intimated is Week-End Excursions.

SPECIAL TRAIN TO GASS 'LAKE SUNDAY AFTERNOON Local ““Fans” Can See Cass- Lake-Be- midji Ball Game and Return Same Evening. The management of the Bemidji Baseball team has made arrange- ments for a special train over the Great Northern railway, to take local baseball fans to Cass Lake Sunday to see the baseball game which will be played at the ‘“Lake” between the Bemidji' city team and the Cass Lake team. The train has been secured, pri- marily, in order that visitors who go to Cass Lake can return the same evening. As the. trains now rum one can leave Bemidji at noon on Sunday, see a baseball game, but is compelled to remain at Cass Lake until 3 o’clock the next morning before being able to return to Be- midji. The special train will leave Bemidji at 1 o’clock Sunday after- noon and, returning, will leave Cass Lake at 9 o’clock in the evening. This arrangement will give Bemidji people, as well as those living at Rosby and Ferris who desire to see the game, ample opportunity to see the contest at Cass Lake and return to their homes early in the night. It is expected that Sunday’s game will be a red-hot contest from the start. The two teams played last Sunday, Bemidji winning by a score of 4 to 1, in a very close contest. The batteries for the game will be the same as those used last Sunday. Baumgardner will pitch and Eckle will catch for Bemidji, while Grady will be on the mound for Cass Lake and Oman behind the bat. It is expected that a large crowd will go from here to see the game. GASS LAKE MEN FINED; VIOLATED THE FISH LAW One Had Netted Fish in His Posses- sion.—Other Offender Shipped Fish Out of State. At Cass Lake, yesterday, S. C. Bailey of this city and William Munch of Crookston, wardens for the State Game & Fish commission, secured the conviction of two men for violation of the state game and fish laws, the cases being tried be- fore Frank Ives, justice of the peace. A Cass Lake merchant was al- lowed to plead guilty, under the name of “John Doe,” to the charge of having in his possession fish that had been netted. The fine imposed on the merchant was $10 and costs. A resident of North Dakota, who is in Cass Lake quite frequently, was fined $20 and costs for shipping Minnesota fish out of the state.- Mr. Bailey secured the evidence against the merchant and Mr. [ Munch “got” the Grand Forks man. There has been some illegal sell- ing of fish at Cass Lake for several years past and the Game and Fish commission is determined to put a stop to the practice, and the con- victions secured yesterday will have a wholesome effect.

AVERTED Reached at Collective Agreement Milwaukee, Milwaukee, May 29.—The Milwau kee Brewers’ association and repre- sentatives of the building trades sec. tlon of the Federated Trades council came to an understanding whereby the- recent strike was called off by the signing of a so called “collective agreement.” It is said to be the first instance in the United States that the “collective agreement” has been brought about.

REMEMBERS ONLY ~ PLAGE OF BIRTH Balance of Rogers’ Estate Left to His Relatives. New York, May 29.—The will of the late Henry H. Rogers was filed for probate here. The testator leaves all his property to his widow, children and relatjves, with the exception of $100,000 willed to the town of Fair Haven, Mass., for the use of the pri- mary and grammar schools of that community. The will gives to the widow the use of the New York city residence and sets aside a trust fund of from $2,500,000 to $3,000,000 to provide an annuity for her-of $100,000. At her death this trust fund is to be returned to the residuary estate. Mr. Rogers leaves his residence at Fair Haven, Mass., and his real estate there to his son, Henry H. Rogers, Jr. Various trusts, ranging in amount from $10,000 to $200,000 each and al- together aggregating $550,000, are created for the benefit of Mr. Rogers' collateral relatives. The income from these trusts is to be paid to the vari- ous beneficiarles during their lives and upon their deaths the principal of the trust funds will revert to the res- 1duary estate of the testator. Mr. Rogers, after making these be- quests, divided his residuary estate into four trust funds, one for the ben- efit of each of his children. When the children attain the age of forty years they are each to receive ofie- half of the principal of the trust cre- ated for their benefit; the other half is to be held in trust during the life of each child, but the children are each given the power to dispose of the principal of the trust by will.

SOME MAIL CARS MOVED Indignation Is Shown Toward the Ne- gro Firemen Manning the Engines, but No Violence Is Encountered. Residents Along the Line Demand- Ing That Relief From Tieup Be Ob- taineld Quickly. Atlanta, Ga, May 29.—Indignation at ‘the presence of negro firemen on mall trains was the most serious de: velopment in the Georgia railroad strike. As an offset to this critical situation events appeared rushing to- ward a settlement which may avoid possible violence. Interference by the state, a stock holder of the railroad, it was report: ed, was under consideration at the governor's office. Meanwhile what were belleved to be the final confer- ences of Georgia railroad officials, over Whether they should arbitrate, were fikiu place. Exactly by what means the state ‘would interfere was not stated, ut a receivership was hinted at. This solu- tion was given color both by the fact that the state is a stockholder in the railroad and by a dispatch from So- clal Circle, Ga., that the people there intended to demand a receivership by :the state on the ground of public con- venience, provided no relief from the teup of freight and pagsenger service ‘was obtained quickly. - There was no mistaking the depth of the ill feeling against the negro firemen, but it was hoped that in a few days the sentiment against the negroes would die down as the people became accustomed to the mail trains. However, no efforts were spared to find some means of settling the strike without resort to the use of guards, which was frankly recognized as of :égeme danger to the peace of the imunity through which the raflroad runs. The striking firemen have co-oper- ated with the authorities in efforts to prevent all demonstrations against the mall trains. The train from Au- gusta completed the run over the main line into Atlanta without having encountered any violence. Knapp Going to Georgia. ‘Washington, May 29.—President Taft and his cabinet considered the Georgla rallroad strike and decided that Chairman Knapp of the interstate commerce commission should go at once to Atlanta to use his efforts to effect adjustments of the trouble or at least enforce compliance with the in- terstate commerce law.

New York, May 29.—Representing to the court that the books of the United Copper company had been mu. tilated by some one while in process of examination by representatives ot his office Federal District Attorney Wise asked and secured from United States Judge Lacomb an order for the production of the company’s books in court without further mutilation. The Inspection was being made in behalf of the federal grand jury which is in- vestigating the alleged misapplication of the funds of the Mercantile Na: tional bank by F. Augustus Heinze. In applying for the order District Attorney Wise told the court that be- fore the examination of the United Copper company’s books had been completed by the grand jury eighteen or twenty pages were found to have been torn from them. Directors Rob- inson, Glass, Curtis and Morris and Assistant Secretary Treasurer Fred- erick Eckstein were ealled before the grand jury, the district attorney stat- ed, but were unable to give the infor- mation desired. Mr. Wise said that the grand jury had unanimously rec- ommended that they all be punished for contempt. Mr. Heinze's name had been includ- ed in the application made by Mr. ‘Wise, but Judgze Lacomb decided not to summon him, stating that a claim for immunity might be created if he aid so. DUE TO MENTAL SUGGESTION Strange Cause Alleged for Two Sui- cides in Brooklyn. New York, May 29.—A strange men- tal suggestion is attributed by the coroner as the cause of two sensa- tional suicides here. Mrs. Ella Fried- mann leaped to her death from the front window of her fourth story apartment in the Williamsburg sec- tion of Brooklyn, presumed to have beea mentally unbalanced by recent fllness. Fireman Thomas J. McCue of fire engine company No, 140 was passing through the stréet at the time and after assisting the police in re- moving the woman’s body to her apartments he went to his home. A half hour later he climbed to the roof of an apartment building seven blocks away and jumped off. He also was Instantly killed. McCue and Mrs. Friedman did not know each other. The coroner decided that Mrs. Friedmann perhaps received her in- spiration from the suicide of another woman who four years ago killed her- self by jumping from the same win- dow and that McCue’s inspiration came from witnessing the suicide of Mrs. Friedmann.
