THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON BY THE BEMIDJI PIONEER PUBLISHING CO. C. J. PRYOR. G. E. CARSON. Enterad In the Postotfice at Bomid]l, Minnesots, as second class 3 SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANGE COMMERCIAL CLUB COMMITTEE HAS DONE G0OD WORK. . The Bemidji Pioneer directs the attention of its readers to the impor- tance of meeting the Soo’s terms in order to assure the passage of the line through that city. The Soo doubtless recognizes the importance of Bemidji as a commercial center, but appreciates that it is - essential to have the support of the business interests. Bemidji business men will make good.—Duluth News- Tribume. Bemidji business men will un- doubtedly ‘‘make good,” all right, but it has been necessary to do a strenuous lot of hustling in order to imbue some of the progressive resi- dents of this city with the fact that it is absolutely necessary to pur- chase the right-of-way in order to secure the Soo, and that the Soo is not coming here whether we get the right-of-way or not. The Pioneer believes that the business men of Bemidji are to be sincerely congratulated on the very unostentious manner in which the building of the Soo into this city has been handled by the committee of the commercial club which has been in charge. Very little was said, at the start, as to what the commercial club would try to do in the matter. The committee which was appointed proved equal to the occasion and has given the city very valuable ser- vices in breaking the determination of the Soo to pass this city and use an air-live from Moose Lake to Plummer, passing to the north of Bemidji several miles. GOVERNOR'S NAME WAS OLSON. An interesting fact about Governor Eberhardt is that his name originally was was Olson, says the Brainerd Dispatch. But there were in Man- kato, where he lived, balf a dozen or more Adelph Olsons, and, as a re- sult, there were many instances of confusion of identity, not the least of these being errors in the delivery of important mail. So when the future state official was married he asked the court to permit him to take the name of his wife, a petition that was granted and since then he has been Adolph O. Eberhardt. WOMAN DIES IN AUTO WRECK Another Painfully Bruised and Chlild Badly Hurt. S¥7 Paul, Sept. 30.—Miss Blanche Lord, aged thirty-five, of Minneapolis, was fatally injured in an automobile accident on the White Bear road, dy- ing while being rushed to St. Joseph’s hospital. Gertrude Mitchell, aged mine, sustained a broken hip and her mother, Miss Lord’s housekeeper, was painfully bruised. The negro chauf- feur, Dell E. Ware, disappeared after the accident. Considerable mystery surrounds Miss Lord. She was a beautiful wo- man of evident refinement and up to two years age lived for a time at the Aberdeen, St. Paul's fashionable apart- ment hotel. She dresscd and de- meaned herself like a woman of wealtli, though she appeared to have no intimate friends in St. Paul who can tell anything about her or her relatives.

GENERAL GRANT . DEFENDS ACTION Says He Had Right to Lead Chicago Parade. NO REGULATION VIOLATED Army Officer Declares It Was Not a Temperance Affair, but a Demon stration in Favor of Good Govern: ment and Law and Order—Assums That No Official Action on'the Part of the War Department Will. Be Taken in the Matter. ‘Washington, Sept. 30.—“It was not a temperance parade, but a demon- stration in favor of good government and law and order, and I should have been derelict in my duty if I had not, ‘when requested, headed the parade as I did and I shall continue until pro- hibited to do the sawe thing when- ever I deem it necessary to advance the cause of good government.” This is the substance of a state- ment made by Generai Frederick D. Grant in answer to a letter sent by W. R. Michaelis of Chicago, a member of the executive board of the United Bocleties for Local Self-Government. The letter, which was addressed to the secretary of war, criticised Gen- eral Grant for having appeared in full uniform in a so called temperance parade in that city last Saturday. Gen- eral Grant added that there was no law, written or unwritten, or regula- tion that in any way abridged his right to wear his uniform on any occa- sion he saw fit and he assumed that no official action on the part of the ‘war department would be taken in the matter. General Grant has been in attend- ance on the Hudson-Fulton celebration in New York and in returning to Chi- cago stopped over to visit his som, Lieutenant Ulysses S. Grant of the corps of engineers, now stationed in this city. Officials of the war department could not recall an instance in which the right of an officer to appear in uniform on an unofficial occasion had been called into question. While there was no regulation or even unwritten law on the subject it seemed to be the opinion of some of the department offi- clals that an officer should not wear his uniform for an unofficial occasion when wearing it would cause criti- eism. PEARY RETURNS TO HIS HOME Concludes Conference With President of Arctic Club. Bar Harbor, Me., Sept. 30.—After a two days’ conference with General Thomas H. Hubbard, president of the Peary Arctic club, outlining the plans of campaign to determine whether Dr. Cook reached the North pole or not, Commander Robert E. Peary and wife have returned home. The explorer declared that only General Hubbard and himseif had knowledge of what was contained in the statement which would be issued to show that Dr. Cook could not have reached the pole. Hub- bard will express no opinion on the statement, saying that must be done by the Peary Arctic club as a body. FLOOD IN SOUTHERN WALES Hundreds of Famllies Rendered Tem- porarily Homeless. London, Sept. 30.—An inundation in Southern Wales has rendered hun- dreds of families temporarily home- less. The floods were caused by the River Avon bursting its banks in con- sequence of unprecedented rain storms. Practically the entire town of Aber- avon, with a population of 8,000, is under water, the depth of which varies from two to six feet. So far as is known only one man has been drowned, but the financial losses are heavy. AEROPLANES MAKE FLIGHT Curtiss and Wright Give Exhibitions at New York. New York, Sept. 30.—The Curtiss aeroplane machine made its maiden flight here, successfully describing a semi-circle above the field at Govern- ‘Wilbur Wright also made a fiight in his aeroplane at Governors island later. He remained in the air for about ten minutes, passing over the top of Castle William and making & complete circuit of the island, a dis- tance of two miles. Dr. Murray Consecrated. Baltimore, Sept. 30.—Rev. Dr. John Gardner Murray of this city was con. secrated coadjutor bishop - of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of Mary- lend. Included in the large assem- blage in attendance were ten bishops, several hundred clergymen, prominent public men and educators. Mrs. John D. Rockefeller il Cleveland, Sept. 30.—It has become ¥pown that the “slight cold” that is confining Mrs. John D. Rockefeller-to her home in Forest Hill is a much more serious ailment. Mrs. Harold F. McCormiok i8 s her mother's bedside, having been summoned from Chicago. ARRIVES AHEAD OF SCHEDULE | 5 Great Northern's . First Fast ' Mall Train Reaches Seattle. Seattle, Wash, Sept. 30.—The Great Northern's new sixty-hour mail train from. Chicago arrived here thir- ty-two minates ahead of its schedule and continued to Tacoma. The train will be run west every day. It is-the fastest long distance mail train in the world and reduces the time be- tween. St. Paul and Seattle eleven hours. OFFIGIAL Office of City Clerk.

Barker's 2| Drug Store, EFFORTS TO SETTLE STRIKE Omaha Business Men Take a Hand in Trouble. Omaha, Sept. 30.—The governors of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben, whose an- nual festival has just begun, held a conference with President Wattles of the Omaha and Council Bluffs Street Railway company to urge the neces- sity of a settiement of the strike, or at least the declaration of a truce during the two weeks of the festival. The Ak-Sar-Ben is an organization of Omaha business men and includes | practically every prominent firm in the city. The strike leaders promised the Ak- Sar-Ben governors- that the strikers would waive recognition of the union and would promptly return to work provided the company would agree to arbitrate the questions at issue. At the meeting President Wattles declared that his company would not agree to the proposed truce and subse- quent arbitration.. He assured his vis- itors, however, that the car 'service would be ample to care for the fes- tival crowds. Jews Object to Centennial Pin. 8t. Louis, Sept. 20 —Many orthodox Jews have refused to wear the St. Louis Centennial assocfation’s pins be- cause they bear the figure of St. Louis holding aloft a cross which forms the upper part of the handle of the French Bing’s swort “Blown Up” Steamer Safe. Calcutta, Sept.”i80—The British steamer Clan Mackintosh, belonging to the Madras Steam Navigation com- pany, which was reported from Ran- goon to have been blown up at sea, has arrived here. The steamer had met with no accident. VIOLATION OF THE OPEN DOOR PDI.IGY United States Pratests Against Chino-Japanese Treaty, Tokio, Sept. 30.—A special dispatch from Washington to the Asahi de- clares that the American government ‘will soon file an official protest against the recently concluded convention be- tween Japan and China giving Japan & mining monopoly in Manchuria. The dispatch maintains further that Amer- ica desired to procure an interest in the monopoly and regards =Japan's failure to consult Washington in the matter as a breach of good faith. The dispatch declares that the Man- churian convention is regarded as a distinct violation of the “open door” policy, to which Japan was pledged. The matter has excited a great deal of comment in official circles and the press, but the whole story is denied on high authority. Baron Kagora Takahira, who 18 generally supposed to have been re- Heved of his post as Japanese ambas- sador to the United States on ac- count of his failure to make the Man- churian policy of his government pleasing to Washington, was received in audience by the emperor and em¢ press. MRS. ZORN SEGURES DIVORCE Separated From Husband Who Denled Her Appeals for Progeny. Chicago, Sept. 30.—Judge Arthur H. Chetlain of the superior court set the stamp of his approval on the rearing of familles and decried “platonic” friendships between married couples when he granted to Mrs. Fay Louise Zorn a divorce from Professor August R. Zorn, who teaches modern lan- guages in Armour institute. The jurist upheld Mrs. Zorn’s con- teutions.in toto. Bearing and rearing children is not disgraceful, he assert- ed, but ennobling and far more impor- tant then “higher culture” of the mind. He lost no time, after consid- ering the evidence, in announcing that he would grant the decree. Says Satolli Jnspired Attack. Parils, Sept. 30.—The Figaro says that Cardinal Satolli came to France recently and at a secret meeting with the French cardinals explained what the pope expected of them.
