THE BEMIDJ! DAILY PIONEER PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON BY THE BEMIDJI PIONEER PUBLISHING CO. C. J. PRYOR. C. E.CARSON. Entered In the Postoffice at Bemid]l, Minnesota, as second class matter. 1‘ SGR(PIIUH --$6.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANGE IS IT FOURTH-TERM SKIRMISH? The “Connty Chairman,” in the St. Paul Dispatch, asserts his belief that the westward trip of Governor Johnson and the attendant speech- making from the rear platform of the special, is but the fore-runner of a fourth-term boom for the gover- nor’s candidacy as chief executive; and the “Chairman” intimates that the governor will stand for it again, despite his assertions to the contrary, Verily, no person should have the governorship of this great state thrust upon him, without his full and free consent. There be those who would gladly relieve John A. of his trials and tribulations as the head of the government on the capitol hill at St. Paul. HOW ABOUT BROWER? ‘There are some intimations that a certain powerfnl coporation of this state is lending aid to furthering the Brower candidacy for the gov- ernorship. This may or may not be true; anyway, the “boom” hasn’t reached a serioas stage yet, and Brower himself is yet to be heard from, as to whether he is or is not a candidate for the republican nomi- nation for governor, An exchange remarks that a man can start out, any day, and inside of an hour and thirty minutes he can engage a woman to work for him for life at nothing a week, while it will take two weeks of solid search to get one to work at fair wages and board. Try it, neighbor, if you need a “girl of all work.” CAUSTIC COMMENT. (A. G, Rutledge.] “WOMAN, LOVELY WOMAN.” If there were no women, men would have no object in life; their mustaches would cease to interest them; they would not cuss whether their collars were ironed or not; they would have nobody to nurse them when .they had the toothache, or to keep them from believing they were going to die when an old-fashioned stomach- ache had the grip upon them. There would be nobody to take for ice cream, and no small edition of flesh and blood to hug. There would be nobody to fight against being kissed and then take to it as natural as a cat to cream. Most important of all, there would be nobody to write against, to com- plain of, and to love with all your heart and soul. . Without her, man would never get to heaven, and without them they would never have a taste of the other place on earth. So if a man has any sense what- ever, he’ll put his arm around the woman he is the fondest of, thank the good Lord for her, and wonder, as she does, what in the world he would do without her. care a JOHNSON JAILED IN CANADA Negro Pugilist Accused of Exceeding Speed Limit. London, Ont., Aug. 7.—Jack John- son, the negro pugilist, was arrested here on a telegram from the chief of police at Woodstock, Ont.

John- son was locked up pending his trans- fer to Woodstock. It was later arranged by telephone that Police Magistrate Love of Lon- don should try the case. Johnson was fined $55 and he continued on his way to Chicago. DESPITE CHINA'S ATTITUDE Japan Determined to Build Antung- Mukden Rallroad. Tokio, Aug. 7.—Acting under in- structfons from the foreign office M. Tjuin, Japanese ambassador at Peking, is endeavoring to persuade China to withdraw her objections to the imme- diate improvement of the Antung- Mukden railroad.

AGED WOMAN IN TEARS Again Takes the Stand at White Plains Hearing and Explains Many Stories Supposed to lllustrate Her 8on's Insanity—Refers to Alleged Consplracy to Keep Harry in the Matteawan Asylum. ! ‘White Plains, N. Y. Aug. 7.—The last day of testimony &t Justice Mills® hearing on Harry K. Thaw's petition $or releaso from the state hospital for the criminel insane opened with Roger O'Meara as the first witness. O'Meara was formerly chief of detectives in Pittsburg and was for several years employed by Thaw as a private detec- tive. Mr. O'Meara was commissioned by Thaw to investigate Thaw’s charges agalnst Stanford White and on the stand substantiated stories told on the stand by Thaw. Mrs. Mary- Copley Thaw, Harry's mother, was next called and asked to explain Detective O'Meara’s position. “Mr. O’'Meara came into this case,” she said, “because he sald he wanted to do all he could for Mr. Thaw’s boy.” Mrs. Thaw then produced a chgrt showing 208 members of the family, including every descendant of the prisoner’s great grandfather. The pa- per was offered in evidence. She named two cousins of Harry—William MRS. MARY O. THAW. and Harrietta Thaw, brother and sis- ter—and sald these were the only cases of insanity she had ever known in the family. “And they,” she said, ‘‘got their insanity from their mother.” Two members of the Copley family, she sald, were epileptics. Explaine Actions of Harry. Many tales supposed to {llustrate Thaw’s insanity were explained by his mother. One about playing the plano late at night resulted from the fact that Reginald de Koven, the composer, was the family guest. He apd Harry played until 3 a. m, while the others listened with delight. Mrs. Thaw con- ued: “This combination I speak of in my pamphlet was very active.” Bhe spoke with particular bitterness of Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton. This alienist, she asserted, told her that if ehe would submit to. the plan of send- ing Harry Thaw to Matteawan he (Hamilton) would arrange that Thaw bould have a suite of rooms end gvery comfort” and that she and her anu;hters might visit him as often as they chose, Mrs. Thaw declared that Dr. Hanil- ton persuaded her to agree to his methods by plausible arguments. She described his methods of buflding up an insanity defense for her son. The witness used.the word “torture” in referring to District Attorney Je- rome’s treatment of her son. ‘When quoting Jerome's alleged words, “This man {s now in the place ‘where 1 hope he will be kept the rest of his life,”” tears came to her eyes and she had to pause to recover her self-control. She declared that Harry had nothing to do with the prepara- tion of her pamphlet, “The Secret Un- veiled,” attacking Jerome. The witness’ self-possession failed her entirely when she attempted to describe what she sAw during her vis- its to her son at Matteawan. “It seemeqd to me like the vestibule to in- fernal regions,” she began; “but Harry said it appealed to him as a place in great need of religious help.” She told of passing lunatics who never ceased cursing; others whose language was continually obscene. At this point she burst into tears and covered her face with her handkerchief. To enable her to recover Mr. Morschauser then read en affidavit glving more Thaw family history. Mr. Jerome had no-questions. Dur fng the witness’ denunclation he sa without a word or a trace of resent ment. Preferred Death to Arrest.
