THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER PUBLIGHED NVERY AFTNRNOON, BEMIDJI PIONEER PUBLISHING CO. C. J. PRYOR. G, B. CARSON. Tntered in the postofice at Bemidji. Minm., second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM — Some of the wise-acres of the state who have laid Robt. C. Dunn upon the shelf, are making frantic noises over a little innocent visit which Mr. Dunn paid Gov. Johnson last week. During this private inter- view these gentlemen are credited with talking politics, while, as a matter of fact, it is much more prob- able that Mr. Dunn called at the capitol for the express purpose of offering Mr. Johnson the position of associate editor of the Princeton Union after 1910, a la Roosevelt and the Outlook.—Royalton Banner. Some of the aforesaid “‘wiseacres” are emulating the gentlemen who are now in “the saddle” on the merger dailies of St. Paul—they are at a loss to know exactly where the Hon. R. C. stands in the present “‘gum shoe” preliminary skirmish to find the right “barkis” to lead the repub- lican state ticket at the top to victory, next year. And the young man from Mankato who is whirling around the state, closely pursued by the gaberna- torial bee, is beginning to sit up and take note of the concern being manifested over what “Bob” may or inay not do. Wait until about the first of the coming year, gentlemen, and there will be little doubt of ‘“Bob’s” intentions, politically. Says the Princeton Union: “There are people so narrow mind- ed that they altost go into fits if the minister of their church should attend a baseball game or go fish- ing. This class of people are usually found, upon careful investigation, to be hypocrites—long-faced humbugs. Now it is no more harm for a minister to attend a ball game than a pink tea or other social function. ‘There is nothing degrading about a baseball match and besides, a minister is 2 mere human being, like the rest of us, and needs occasional recreation. Hence, the action of the delegates to the Episcopal con- vention at Duluth takes ‘our fancy. At the close of business the divines attended a game of balland had a glorious time.” NIGHT RIDERS WILL SEGURE NEW TRIAL Case of Eight Tennesseeans Re- versed by Supreme Gourt. Jackson, Tenn., July 1.—The cases of the eight night riders, six of whom were under death sentence, charged with the murder of Captain Quentin Rankin at Walnut Log, on Reelfoot lake, Oct. 19 last, were reversed by the supreme court and were remand- ed for new trials. The six men who were under death sentence are Garrett Johnson, alleged leader of the night riders’ organiza- tion in Obion county; Arthur Cloar, Fred Pinlon, Sam Applewhite, Tid Burton and Roy Ranson. The other two, Bud Morris and Bob Huffman, were convicted of murder in the sec- ond degree. The opinion in the case was deliv- ered by Special Justico Henry A. Craft of Memphis, appointed instead of Jus- tice M. M. Neil. The reading of the opinion required more than an hour and in that time the tense stiliness ‘was only broken by the sound of Jus- tice Craft’s voice. In reversing the case he assigned two principal reasons. The first was that the grand jury, which found the indictments against the alleged night riders, was not selected in a proper manner. The second error on which the reversal was based was that the state did not allow the defendants a sufficient number of challenges. BOYS SUCCUMB TO INJURIES Three Victims of Murderous Attack of Angry Man. Cleveland, July 65.—Eddle and Le- gree Shy, colored, aged six and three years, are dead from injuries inflicted by their father, Foster Shy, making three dead as a result of the man’s rage. The boys’ mother was the first victim. Shy attempted a reconciliation with his wife, from whom he had been sep- arated. He failed and cut her throat, then attacked his two boys, crushing their skulls with a hatchet. Shy Is held for murder. FIVE CHINAMEN WILL HANG Death Sentences at Boston Outcome of Tong Contest. Boston, July ‘.—Death sentences ‘were pronounced on five Chinamen convicted of shooting four members of the On Leong tong, in the tong con- flict in Chinatown in August, 1907, Leong Gong, Min Sing and Hom Woon to die the week of Oct. 10 and Warry Charles and Joe Guey the following week. The men were involved in an out- break of members of the Hep Sing tong against the On Leong tong, a rival secret society. WEEK’S FETE ON HISTORIC LAKE Champlain Celebrating Its Tercentenary. PRESIDENT TAFT PRESENT With Vice President Sherman, Speak- er Cannon and Other Prominent Men He Will Help to Celebrate Three Hundredth Anniversary of Lake’s Discovery as Well as Mem- orable Events Along Its Shores. Crown Point, N. Y., July .—With the review of the Tenth regiment of the national guard of the state of New York, addresses by Governor Hughes and others and Indian pageants Crown Point begins today the week’s celebration of the 300th anniversary of the discovery of Lake Champlain by the French explorer from whom it takes its name. Before the end of the week the celebration will have extended all along the 110 miles’ length of the beautiful lake and will bhave drawn to itself thousands of visitors from the surrounding country as well as from other parts of the United States and the nearby Domin- lon of Canada. The celebration commemorates not only the tercentenary of the discovery of the lake, but also the events in American history in which the places situated on the lake have taken part. The list of celebration points reads almost like a resume of American history in the Seventeenth and Eight- eenth .centuries and the beginning of the Nineteenth. In it are included Crown Point, Ticonderoga, Isle La- motte and other localities in which the French and the English, aided on each side by the Indlans, fought for supremacy and in which, after the issues of that long struggle were de- clded in favor of Anglo-Saxon civiliza- tion, the Americans and their British kinsfolk fought in the Revolutionary war and the War of 1812. Prominent Men Taking Part. To help in the commemoration of the battles and sieges and historic meetings President Taft, Vice -Presi- dent Sherman, Speaker Cannon, Am- bassadors Bryce and Jusserand, Gov- ernor Prouty of Vermont, Governor Hughes of New York, Earl Grey, gov- ernor general of Canada; Premier Laurier of the Dominion and a host of other distinguished men will visit the varlous points of interest and de- liver addresses. President Taft’s first formal appearance will be made to- morrow at IFort Ticonderoga, the scene of the triumph of Ethan Allen, May 10, 1775. The principal addresses there will be dellvered by Speaker Cannon and Flamilton W. Mabie, ed- itor of the Outlook, but President Taft and the other distinguished guests will also speak. The principal fete day will come on Wednesday at Plattsburg. On his way to Plattsburg the president and his party will visit the Catholic Sum- mer school at Clif Haven and will stop at the summer residence of Smith M. Weed for luncheon. In the afternoon there will be a military parade, followed by more speeches, and In the evening the president and the other guests will attend a ban- quet at the Hotel Champlain. On Thursday the president and the men of international prominence will be the guests of the state of Vermont at Burlington. Mr. Taft will probably leave on Friday, but the celebration will continue at Isle Lamotte with the dedication of a great granite boulder suitably inscribed to the memory of Colonel Seth Warner, leutenan: to Ethan Allen at the taking of Fort Ti- conderoga and himself the captor of the old fort at Crown Point. Great Outdoor Celebration, Land and water pageants of all sorts, automobile parades, motorboat races, fireworks, bonfires and every imaginable feature of an outdoor fete will be called into play during the celebration. An especially interesting feature is the floating island, built to represent a real island, with trees and shrubbery, and so constructed that it can be towed from one part of Lake Champlain to another. On it will be shown reproductions of some of the famous battles with the Indlans fought on and near the shores of the lake. The tercentenary has been in charge of two commissions, appointed by the governors of the states of New York and Vermont, who have been working several months for its success. To the secretary of the New York com- mission, State Senator Henry W. Hi"! of Erfe county, is awarded the credit for originating the idea of the ter- centenary, which is expected to prove one of the most successful affairs of the kind ever held in the United States. Confesses to Killing Uncle. Newton, Kan., July 5—According to the police Gleason M. Guist has con- fessed that he killed his uncle, C. M. Guist, a wealthy retired farmer sev- enty-five years old, shooting him in the back of the head following a dis- pute over crops. The nephew hauled the dead body in a wagon three-quar- ters of a mile and threw the corpse under a culvert.” The uncle’s body was found by a ten-year-old son of the alleged slayer. MANUFACTURERS OPPOSE IT Senate Committee Discusses Leaf Tobacco. ‘Washington, July '—The tobacco free leat question was taken up by a sub-committee of the senaté commit- tee on finance and a number of to- becco manufacturers were heard in opposition to the removal of any of the restrictions governing the sale of tobacco in the leaf. The hearing was upon the Bradley amendment, which would permit the first purchaser to 4 gell the leaf without the payment of Free ix and all sibsequent purchasers to make similar transfers so-long as - the tobacco was not manufactured in any form. = Tobacco manufacturers contended that this would open the whole subject to possibility of great fraud and also that it would mate- rially reduce revenues. Similar views have been expressed by officlals of the internal revenue bureau and al- though the guestion has been before congress for many years mo one has been able to frame an amendment which seemed to guard against one or the other of these dangers. Members of the sub-committee sald that they would be glad to give the tobacco grower the enlarged market for which he asks, but they consider it.to be doubtful whether a safe provision to accomplish this purpose can be en- acted. THREE PEOPLE DEAD AND THIRTY INJURED Gyclone Passes Over Portion of Saskatchewan, Winnipeg, Man., July ;.—A cyclone passed over the Gainsboro (Sack.) district, accompanied by hail the size of hens’ eggs, killing three people, in- juring thirty others and rendering eleven farmers’ families homeless. The dead are Peter Raymond, C. Hackett and child. Ten others are in a critical condition. Threshing machines were twisted and carried half a mile, while build- ings were scattered into kindling wood over the prairie. Reports from Indian Head, Pierson, Waskada and Melita indicate that the storm was ‘widespread and while not as destruc- tive as around Gainsboro did much damage to bulldmgs and crops KETCHEL AND PAPKE TO MEET Eyes of Cauntrys Sports Turned To- ward Frisco. San Francisco, July . .—Thousands of sports of high and low degree with the price will gather at the ringside at Colma today to see Stanley Ketchel and Billy Papke fight for the STANLEY KETCHEL. middleweight championship of the world. Both men are in fine trim for the fight. Getting down to 158 pounds does not scem to have weakened Ketchel, the pugilistic wonder who will fight to keep his middleweight title from the grasping fists of Papke and who is also reaching out for the honors held by Jack Johnson, the ne- gro heavyweight. Ketchel is, of course, the favorite of the majority of the fight fans. The Papke men are not talking much, but get them in a corner and they will spring on you the fact that Papke is the only man who ever knocked out Stanley Ketchel. The fight is scheduled to last forty- five rounds, but nobody expects it to 80 so long. If either man gets half an epportunity to send over one of his famous punches the lights will go out for the other man, even if the fight has lasted only a few rounds. NILL MOVE HEADQUARTERS Woman Suffragists Will Have Head Office in New York City. Seattle, Wash., July ,—The Ameri- can Woman Suffrage association de- clded to establish national headquar- ters in New York city. When dis- cussion of the removal from Washing- ton was begun some of the delegates objected on the ground of the heavy expense of maintenance in New York. They were assured, however, that plenty of money was obtainable in New York and had been definitely pledged; that the suffrage movement was on every tongue in the great city and had entered on a new era there. The split in the Washington state organization vexes the national offi- cials, who are tryving to effect a com- promise. The insurgents from Spo- kane are holding sessions in a hall opposite the church in which the na- tional convention meets. The nation- al body voted unanimously to seat two Spckane delegates without a vote, pending investigation of their protest to the national body. -This concession the insurgents accepted and took the two seats.

WILD PANIG IN GROWDED STORE One Child Dying and Many Other People Injured. FRANTIC RUSH TO ESCAPE Cry of “Fire” During a Scuffle Be tween Two Bargain Hunters Causes Etampede of Six Hundred Persons for the Stairways — Unfortunates Who Lost Their Footing Trampled, on by Those Following. Detroit, Mich., July i—One child 1 dying and about twenty women and children are suffering from severe in- jurles received in a panic in the Kreasge Five and Ten-Cent store on Woodward avenue. The panic fol- lowed a cry of “fire” after a scufile between two women in a crowd on the second floor of the establishment. About 600 women and children, with here and there a man or boy, swept across the floor to the stairs and jammed into a screaming, fighting mob, which broke down the guard raills on one of the stairways and trampled over all who lost their foot- ing. Many of those whose passage- way to the stairs was blocked by the crowd rushed to the windows and tried to jump to the street below. Fortunately, however, the warning cries of persons on the street deterred them. Rose Bascondl, seven years old, is reported dying at St. Mary’s hospital from a fractured skull. She was knocked down and trampled on. Near- 1y a dozen women and children are in the same Institution less seriously in- jured. - A number who were given emergency treatment for bruises and cuts went to thelr homes. It was the opening day of the con-! cern in a new locatior on one of the most prominent corners in the city. Probably 2,000 people, principally wo- men, were in the five-story building when the panic started. FIERCE STORM IN MILWAUKEE One Inch of Rain Falls in Eighteen Minutes. Milwaukee, July S—The fiercest rain storm in the history of the Mil- waukee weather bureau was expe- rienced when an inch of rain fell in eighteen minutes, the previous rec- ord being an inch in 45 minutes. Many trees were demolished and signs blown dowa by a fifty-cight mile wind. Basements were flooded and street cars delayed for nearly an hour, caused by washouts. The storm followed the hottest day of the year, the thermometer register- ing in the nifeties. INVOLVED IN SUGAR SCANDAL Twenty-three Jap Politiclans Sent to Prison. Tokio, July .—Twenty-three Japa- nese politicians, members either of the present diet or of the preceding one, were given sentences of varying lengths for complicity in the sugar scandal. Five of the twenty-three were sentenced to ten months’ im- prisonment, four to serve seven months, five to serve five months and nine to serve three months. Only one of the men brought to trlal was ac- quitted. WIll Get Important Position. Washington, July .—Robert M. Pin- dell will be appointed,.in a few days, appointment clerk of the bureau of the census, one of the most important positions of the kind in the govern- ment service. Mr. Pindell for several years has been deputy appointment clerk of the department of commerce and lahor. HIS CONDITION IS CRITICAL Physiclans Fear Congressman Cush- man May Die. New York, July 5.—Representative Francls W. Cushman of Tacoma, who is suffering from pneumonia in Roosevelt hospital following a minor operation, is in such a critical condi- tion that the doctors fear he will die. He was in a state of coma most of the night. Russian Army Officer Slain. Nakolskoye, Siberia, July 5—Colo- nel Ivomik of the quartermaster’s de- partment was shot and killed here by an attendant of the military canteen. The colonel stopped two soldiers on the street and rebuked them for fail- Ing to salute him properly. The at- tendant, who noticed the incident, drew a revolver and shot the colone! fead. How’s This?
