SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM m PIONEER DID NOT “SLIP UP.” The Bemidji Pioneer has “slipped up”—a thing which is very unusual for the Pioneer—and it remained for the city dailies to first chronicle the fact that indictments had been returned against four county com-]| missioners and the county auditor of Beltrami.—Grand Rapids Independ- ent. With. due courtesy to the Inde- pendent, we have NOT “slipped up” with reference to the alleged in- dictment of Beltrami county officials. Four true bills were re- turned to the court, the last days of the term of court which adjourned recently, which were not made public and are not public property at the present time. Judge Stanton warned the jury and everyone else against telling what the grand jury was doing, and no actual informa- s#acy,” “How Industrial Education Will Bring Social Reconstruction” and GAINCONGESSION =L “The Cost of Crowding Women Work- i B er: w‘THouT DEB ATE The speakers include Rabbi Stephen 8.

Philadelphia, June 29.—State Sen- ator Israel W. Durham, one of the Re- publican leaders of = this city and prominent in state politics, died sud- denly at his summer home at Atlantic City. e had been ailing for several years. Southern Sena’tofs': Secure Free Cotton Bagging. FIGHT ON [RON AND STEEL Politician House Rates on Structural Materlal Increased After Ineffectual Efforts Are Made to Have Products Placed on the Free List—Ten Republicans tion relative to the indictments was obtainable—reliable information, the only kind we get. The first real positive statement that the officials were indicted came from St. Paul, and we have a letter which states that the deputy state examiner gave out the report at St. Paul, after leaving here and stating to a Pioneer representative that he “had nothing to give out.” The report of the examiner was published in full in the Pioneer as soon as it could be obtained, which was a few days after being submitted to the governor. There was no other reliable information at hand that could be depended upon, asto the indictments. Had we published the statements made in the twin city dailies, we would have heen liable for contempt of court, a thing which we are not looking for. The Pioneer printed all that is really authentic concern- g the matter, and as soon as we could legally publish the facts. BUILDINGS IN RADIUS OF BLOCK DAMAGED Another Mysterlous Explosion Occurs at Chicago. Chicago, June 29.—The cause of the explosion which wrecked a telephone exchange in the business district, did $100.000 damage to property, inflicted injuries which may be fatal to one man and slightly wounded fourteen others, is still unexplainéd. After hours of careful investigation the po- lice were unable to determine whether the detonation was the work of per- sons desiring to harm the telephone company or another of a serles of bombs which have marked the prog- ress of what is known as the “gam- blers’ war.” A number of employes of the telephone company are on a strike, The principal damage was to the conduit- through which the conveying cables of the telephone company pass to the Central Exchange. The Chi- cago Title and Trust bullding, sixteen storles high, next door to the tele- phone exchange, was among the bulld- ings damaged. Fifteen cables, which control 25,000 telephones, were torn and twisted by the explosion. One of the theories on which the police are working, although they are inclined to belleve that the telephone strike has some connection with the outrage, s that the refusal of the telephone company to permit its wires to be used in the transmission of bets on races has brought it under the ban of persons connected with the gambling fraternity. Assistant Chief of'Police Schuettler declared that dynamite was the ex- plosive used. Few of the buildings within, a radius bf a block escaped severe damage. Broken windows for two blocks around testified to the force of the explosion. TAFT ACTING AS THE JUDGE Heare Arguments on. What Consti- tutes Whisky. ‘Washington, June 29.—Acting in his old time capacity as judge President Taft wrestled with the question of “what is whisky?” Before him were the attorneys representing practically 8ll the interests that have been wag- ing a fight over the original decision of Dr. Wiley, chemist of the depart- ment of agriculture, in regard to what 1s whisky and what should be labelled “imitation whisky.” They came to obtain a final decision on the much’ mooted question. 3 Joseph H. Choate, former American ambassador to Great Britain, was promninent among the array of counsel for the manufacturers, while among those opposing him was John G. Car- lisle, former secretary of the treasury, a8 the representative of distillers, All of the interests present had filed exceptions to the decision ofSo- licitor General Bowers, who was asked some time ago by President Taft to investigate the subject and report on various phases of the con- troversy. ¥ Vote With Demacrats for Reduc- tion of Duty. ‘Washington, June 29.—Without de- bate the senate placed cotton bagging on the free list and agreed to the house rate of three-tenths of a cent a pound on cotton ties. The concession on bagging was made to save time. The amendment was offered by Sen- ator McLaurin and covered bagging for cotton, gunny cloth and similar fabrics suitable for covering cotton. The amendment was agreed to with- out debate and it was’immediately followed by agreement to the entire paragraph, which included a provision placing binding twine upon the free Hst. The action by the senate will mere- ly have the effect of throwing the rate on cotton hagging into confer- ence, the house rate belng six-tenths of a cent per square yard. The various articles known as cat gut, whip gut and worm-gut were, on motion of Mr. Aldrich, consolidated under the one name of “animal intes- tines” and left on the free list. There was no debate upon this change in the bill, but laughter was heard on both sides of the chamber. Mr. Al- drich did not seem to realize what a death blow he was striking to a standard congressional joke. He never smiled during the exhibition of mirth. Contest on Iron and Steel. The senate then returned to the iron and steel schedule and upon mo- tlon of Mr. Aldrich the paragraph re- lating to structural iron and steel was slightly changed, so that such prod- ucts valued at less than nine-tenths of a cent a pound shall pay. a duty of three-tenths of 1 cent a pound and ‘Wwhen valued at more than nine-tenths of a cent a pound a duty of four-tenths of a cent a pound. The house rate was three-tenths of a cent a pound on all structural iron and steel. The rates agreed to by the senate are lower than the Dingley rates. s Ineffectual efforts were made by Senator Stone to have structural iron and steel and many products of steel placed upon the free list and by Sen- ator Cummins to obtain slightly lower duties upon nearly all of the impor- tant products of iron and steel. Mr. Stone was satisfled a With a viva yoce vote by which his amendment was re- Jected. Mr. Cummins demanded an aye and no vote and met defeat by 31 to 40, Senators Borah, Bristow, Brown, Crawford, Cummins, Curtis, Dolliver, Gamble, La Follette and Nelson, Re- publicans, voting with the Democrats for the lower rates. Individual Amendments Offered. After the committee on finance had all of its amendments to the tariff bili egreed to varlous senators came for- ward with amendments, most of which were to place articles on the free list. Senator Gore wanted free school books and encountered opposition when he asked for an aye and no vote. Resenting this failure the Oklahoman called for a quorum and, obtaining unanimous consent for a record' vote, his amendment was rejected, 17 to 45. Salt on the free list was the subject of &h appeal made by Mr. Bacon. ‘His after which his effort to:strike. out the drawback clause by which the duty on salt for curing fich and meat Is: refunded failed, 17 to 39. Mr. Aldrich accepted an amend- ment by Senator Gamble authorizing the president to declaré a duty of 4 cents a pound on tin when the domes- tie produet is at least 1,500 tons per year. S The Southern senators then revert- ed to the cotton tie provision and in this connection made their fight to put that article on the free list. The present duty is one-half a cent a pound, while the pending bill fixes the duty at three-tenths of a cent a pound. The amendment was yoted down. ON INCOME TAX AMENDMENT 8enate to Be Given Early Opportunity - for Action. ‘Washington, June 29.—The resolu. tion submitting to the states the ques tion of amending the Constitution 'se as to give congress the, right to levy a direct tax on incomes will be brought in the sehate in advance of the administration programme for the adoption of an amendment to the tar- iff bill imposing a tax on net earnings of corporations. * A decision to that effect was reached in-order that tha supporters: of the income tax amend- ment, which the .corporation tax amendment is intendéd to displace, will have no opportunity to charge the administration with bad faith. It has Been rumored about the Cap- itol that after the corporation tax amendment is put in-the bill the res- olution providing for the submission of the constitutional question will be defeated. 2 DISCUSS WORLD’'S PROGRESS Uplift Workers .

This line of reasoning necessitates the rejection of the story ‘told by Chung Sin, who sald he had seen Leon in the room over the Eighth ave- nue restaurant where Miss Sigel’s dead body lay, but the authorities de- clare that Chung’s statements have shown facts in several particulars. discrepancies with known In considering the possibility that Leon was killed it is regarded as prob- able that his body was placed in a trunk, as was the girl's, and this has drawn renewed attention to the bag- gage checked to Schenectady, N. Y., near where Chung Sin was found, and rechecked by a Chinaman Bchenectady to Cleveland. “What about the. theory that Leon 18 dead?” Police Inspector McCafferty was asked. “Well, if Leon {s dead, we have one of the birds that killed him under ar- from rest and we can'lay our hands on an- other in five minutes,” he replied. -BISHOP COTTER IS - .DEAD Well Known Minnesota Prelate Ex- pires After Long lliness. Winona, Minn, June - 29.—Right Rev. Joseph B.

CEFMIL PREMIER 70 QUIT OFFCE von Buelow Annonnces In- tention to Retire, - AGREES T0 KAISER'S WISH Chancellor Besought' the Emperor to Permit Him to Step Down at Once, but Hé Is Induced to Remain Until the Relchstag Disposes of the Finance Proposals Now Under Con- sideration. Berlin, June 29.—Prince von Buelow has authorized the announcement that he intends tq retire from the chancel- lorship of the empire in any event so soon as the pending finance reform measure is disposed of in one way: or another. The prince remains in office only temporarily in an endeavor to pass the bill. The semiofficlall Nord Deutsche Allegemein Zeitung, commenting on the various reports published tending to weaken the significance of Chan- cellor von Buelow’s statement, says: “Prince von Buelow besought the emperor to permit him to go at once, but his majesty, in the warmest PRINCE VON BUELOW. terms, expressed the wish that the prince remain in office until the finance proposals had been put through the reichstag.” Emperor Willlam has not yet given consideration to the question of a Buccessor to Chancellor von Buelow. The most probable choice, however, is. Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, impe- rial secretary of state for the interior and vice chancellor. He has been in close contact with the emperor for some ten years as president of the province of Brandenburg and impe- rial secretary and his personal rela- tions with the emperor are cordial, AVENGES DEATH OF HUSBAND New York Woman Shoots Allegea Slayer of 8pouse.
