GELEBRATION YESTERDAY WAS A SPLENDID SUGGESS [Continued from Fist Page.] one. The batteries were Conley and Conley for Superior and Brown, Eckle and Summers for Bemidji. Sunday’s game was won by Be- midji by a score of 15 to 11, the game being a “comedy of errors.” The batteries for Sunday’s game were Baumgardner and Crumbholz for Bemidji and Swetzer and Conley for Superior. The motor boat races were started about § o’clock. Dr. Palmer had handicapped the various boats so that the race was really a very inter- esting one. There were about 100 launches on the lake at different places, but only a small number par- ticipated in the races, the winners of which were as follows: First race—W. C. Chandler, first; Hugo Scharff, second; C. W. War- field, third; F.S. Lycan, fourth, Eric Ives, fifth; Bart Stafford, sixth. Second race—E. A. Barker, first; C. W. Warfield, second; Hugo Scharff, third Bart Stafford, fourth. During the races the band gave a concert at the dock with the follow- ing program: March... “Call of the Wild” . Losey. Bits of Remick’s Hits" B. Lamp. weetest Girl in Dixie™ By Odea & Adams. Selection from........ .“El Trovatore” Medley Overture. By March Intermezz “Topeka" By Harry W.

Vandercook, Medley Selection.........'Songs of the Nations™ By J. B. Lamp. '‘Querida” March.. “The Eagles™ Ry E. W. Berry. The band was cheered loudly for the splendid playing, this being especially true of the baritone solo given by Charles L. Cummer, which was rendered in a very artistic manner. The dance in the city hall, given under the auspices of the firemen, closed the celebration. Too much credit cannot be given Mayor Pogue, President Burke and the other members of the various committees for the unqualified suc- cess of the celebration, which all visitors pronounced the very best ever given 1u this city. The Bemid)i band deserves especial mention. This band has only been in existance as a whole for less than three weeks. They played the most difficult quality of music in a very efficient manner, which reflects great credit on Prof. Harry Masten, the new director. A statement of receipts and dis- bursements of the celebration will be given before the close of the week so that all who contributed or in any manner were interested may know just exactly how the money subscrib- sd was expended and the balance which is left.

Washington, July 6.—Thé rigld en- forcement of the pure food law was again under fire today at the general hearing of the protests against some of its provisions held before the na- tional board of food and drug inspec: tion of the department of agriculture. The subject of the hearing was the use of soda, potash, ammonia, alum and other chemicals in food and the effect of the use of such ingredients on the health of the consumer. The board granted hearings to the representatives of manufacturers, whe contended that the use of small quan- tities of chemicals is needed to in- sure the preservation of food-in proper condition and that such use is not detrimental to health. In opposition the government experts and others declared that experiments have dem- onstrated the deleterious effects of such use of chemicals. PHILIPPINE WILD — TRIBES IMPROVING Head Hunting and Inferribal Wars Less Frequent. Manjla, July 6.—Insular Secretary of the Interior Dean C. Worcester, who has just returned from 'his an- nual tour of inspection among the wild tribes of Northern Luzon, re- ports that excellent results have at- tended the efforts of the Philippine commission to stop head hunting among the mountaineers and to end the intertfibal wars which have kept the interior in a constant state of fer- ment. The Ifugaos, the wildest and most turbulent of the mountain tribes, who mumber more than 100,000, have not taken a head in the last twenty-one months, although they were frequent offenders before the present campaign was undertaken. Secretary Worcester discovered that the mountain men were exceedingly fond of athletic competition. In fur- therance of his desire to bring the tribes into more friendly relations he held a series of fiestas and field meets, encouraging the natives to enter the contests. Tis plan was well received and numbers of tribes that had been at war with each other for centuries engaged in races and strength con- tests on friendly terms.

Speaking on his motion Mr. Daniel said: “If this amendment is agreed to the senate is climinated as a treaty mak- ing power so far as these commercial matters are concerned. It is becom- ing more and more common to elim- inate the senate from the exercise of its powers. . Senators Nelson, Curtis and Root followed in favor of the elimination of the duty on tea and coffee and Mr. Daniels’ amendment to strike out that SENATOR DANIEL. provision was accepted by Mr. Aldrich and agreed to.
