Entered In the Postoftice at Bemld)l, Minnesota, as second class matter. SUBSGRIPTION---$5.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE The Cass Lake Times suggests a turpentine plant for Cass Lake, and the publisker of the Times, Frank Ives, offers as a starter for a stock company to install such an enter- prise a cash subscription of $1,000. My gracious, brother, we didn’t know that any editor in the state had that much “coin” stored away awaiting investment. This kind of substantial loyalty is the backing that makes communities great. The Akeley Tribune-Herald is receiving new material to replace that recently destroyed by fire, and soon the paper will be in new quarters. Editor Scheers is one of those determined hustlers that nothing like a fire can. daunt. He has went right along with his paper as though the fiery element had not damaged his plant to a large ex- tent. Such men are bound to succeed in whatever they undertake. M. N. Koll 1s having a whole lot of fun with his “Koll’'s Kolumn,” in the Cass Lake Times. This week he makes some suggestions to his fellow citizens, anent the coming vil- lage election, at the “‘Lake.” It is evident that Br'er Koll intends to keep his promise to the Pioneer man, that he was a candidate for no office. He reiterates that state- ment, in commenting on the possi- bilites of the Cass Lake village election. H. A. Rider of Little Falls, who was recently appointed executive agent of the State Game and Fish commission, is taking hold of the affairs of his office in a manner that indicates that he intends to have hold of the reins all the time. Mr. Rider never says very much, but he has a way of doing things very thoroughly; and his conduct of the office of executive agent will prove that Governor Eberhart made a wise selection when he named the Little Falls gentleman as a member of the Game and Fish commission. The meanest man in this section is the impudent editor of the Wadena Pioneer-Journal. Just listen to this, girls, from the last issue of the Wadena paper: “Perhaps it escaped the attention of the members of the local Woman’s Twentieth Century club that Thomas Edison, the great electrician and wizard inventor, recently remarked that the first talking machine was made from a rib of a man. We would not assume to point out for the club a proper course of proceed- ure, but if the wizard is correctly quoted, we should say it would be in strict harmooy with the occasion for some member to remark that Yy ccessinle to visitors. ‘he was a mean old thing, anyway.”’ e — How a Hat Is Sized. C. writes that the size of a hat is, calculated on a curious principle. It! is the length plus the breadth divided by 2. Thus a head 8% inches long and 5% inches broad would require a hat size of 1414 divided by 2, which is 7% —Gladstone’s size. Your correspondent C. is perfectly right in his description of the curious way in which the size of a hat is ob- tained, writes G., but his sample di- mensions are slightly misleading. Such an “oval” as 8% inches by 5% Inches would scarcely be met with twice in a lifetime. The normal difference be- tween the length and width (technical- Iy called the “oval”) Is invariably through the gamut of sizes 1% Inches. | Thus an ordinary 6% hat would meas- | ure 7% Inches long and 6 inches wide, and a 7Y (four sizes bigger) 8 inches long and 6% inches wide. The longest head I have measured in many thou- sands was 8% by 7%, which is the equivalent of a 2% inch oval. Needless to say, the inside of the hat was the shape of a canalboal. — Manchester Guardian. It Did Not Work. Mrs. Billings was installing the new cook, a maiden from Finland, to whom the kitchen contrivances of America were new and wonderful. *“This, Ina,” sald the lady, indicating a perforated wooden board that hung against the kitchen wall, “is the order list. See, it says ‘butter, eggs, sugar, coffee, tea, molasses’—everything that we need to| eat. Whenever we are out of any of these things all you need to do is to place one of these little pegs in the hole opposite the name and the things will be ordered.” Mrs. Billings is not a methodical housekeeper. There were several con secutive days when she completely for- got the existence of the order list in the kitchen, but Ina labored with it faithfully. “Meesis,” pleaded Ina, after strug- gling with the order board for three days, “I tank dose board must be out of order. 1 push dose peg in yust so far as I can, but notting will come—no egg. no butter, no nottings.”—Youth’s Companion. WILD FIRE PANIC AT PHILADELPHIA Dozen Perish When Build- ing Is Destroyed. VICTIMS YOUNG WOMEN Many of the People in the Structure Were Girls in Their Teens and They Became Practically Helpless When the Alarm of Fire Was Given. Score of Others Suffering From Burns and Injuries Received in Jumping. Philadelphia, Jan. 20.—At least a dozen persons, mostly young women, are believed to have lost their lives in a fire that destroyed a six-story factory building at 200 and 202 Chan- cellor street, in the heart of the pro- duce market section of the city. About twenty men and girls are in hospitals suffering from burns and in- Jjuries received in jumping from win- dows. There were about 100 men, women and children employed by varl- ous small firms in the building. The fire is said to have started on the third floor, either from a slight explosion or the blowing out of a fuse in an electric switchboard. Those on that flcor were instantly thrown into a panic and the cry of fire was spread. When the excitement reached the three upper floors a rush for life en- sued. Many of the girls were young and they became practically helpless in the panic. The people on the first and second floors and most of those on the third floor escaped, but those in the upper portion of the building were blocked at the third floor, which was a mass of flames. Stairways Blocked by People. The stairway was blocked with a solid mass -f people fighting for life. Some got tnrough, others fell uncon- scious on the stairs and others rushed to the windows to jump. By this time Second and Chancellor streets were filled with people, who implored the girls not to jump but wait for the firemen, who were arriv- ing at this time. The pleadings were unheeded and the leap for life began. Produce men hurriedly brought out large squares of canvas used to cover produce at mnight and willing hands held them for the girls to jump into. It is estimated that about twenty made the leap from different floors. More than half of the twenty were so badly injured they were removed to hospitals. One woman, Clara Swartz, died on the way to the hospital. The fire spread rapidly through the structure, but energetic work confined the fire within the walls where the flames started. The roof and the floors fell into the first floor and stopped all rescue work for the time being. TURKISH PALACE IN RUINS Magnificent Parliament Building De- stroyed by Fire. Constantinople, Jan. 20.—The palace of Cheragan, where parliament .sits, was practically destroyed by fire of accidental origin. The chamber of deputies was burned out and the hall was so badly damaged that it cannot be occupied again. The palace of Cheragan was built by Sultan Abdul Aziz and was the finest of the palaces on the Bosphorus. It was constructed of marble. The interior was remarkable for the beauty of the sculptured ornaments in mar- ble and wood. For many years it was the home of the deposed sultan, Murad V. and It was occupied by parliament when that budy was formed a little more than a [ year ago. WALSH BEHIND PRISON BARS Aged Banker Begins Serving His Five- Year Term. Kansas City, Jan. 20.—John R. ‘Walsh, the Chicago banker, has begun serving the five-year sentence imposed upon him for misappropriating funds of Chicagn banks which he controlled He arrived at the federal prison at Leavenworth, accompanied by officers and triends. The trip from Chicago was marked by an attack in this city by Walsh’s son upon a newspaper photographer who took a snap shot of the Walsh party as it alighted from a train. BATTLE REPORTED AT FEZ Moroccan Rebels Said to Have Defeat. ed Loyalists. London, Jan. 20.—An Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Tangiers says a rebel army defeated the gov- ernment troops in a battle at Fez three days ago, inflicting a loss of 200 killed and wounded on the loyalists’ side.

Omaha, Jan. 20.—Estimating the value of her appendix at $25,000 Miss Lillian Robothan, a stylish and hand- some young woman of Omaha, has sued Dr. Stokes, a leading surgeon, for this sum, alleging that he removed the part of her anatomy without her knowledge or consent.

SLUMP IN PRIGES ENGULFS BROKERS Two Wall Street Concerns Are Forced to Suspend New York, Jan. 20.—The failure of the house of Lathrop, Haskins & Co. and of J. M. Fiske & Co. was an- nounced on the stock exchange floor. Lathrop, Haskins & Co. had for a long time been intimately associated with the interests of the Columbus and Hocking Coal and Iron company. The stock of the Columbus and Hocking Coal and Iron company, on sales of about 17,000 shares in the first two hours of trading, fell to 65. a decline of 23% points from the opening. The high point in the recent ad- vance of the company’s stock was 9115, Subsequently, on running sales, the price of Columbus and Hocking Coal and Iron company fell to 37, a decline of 50% points. The price tumbled as much as five points between sales and fluctuated with great violence. It was reported on the floor of the stock exchange that the failure of Lathrop, Haskins & Co. had been caused by the sharp decline in the stock. While the decline was in prog- ress the general list was very weak. Prices broke all around in the stock market in sympathy with the collapse of Hocking Coal. AFFECTS CHICAGO DISTRICI Mediators Hope to Settle Switchmen’s Grievances. ‘Washington, Jan. 20.—After a con- ference with the representatives of the Chicago railways and the switch- men the mediators of the controversy, Chairman Knapp and Commissioner Neill, were of the opinion that the con- clusion of the controversy was in sight. As heretofore indicated the prob- ability is that some points of differ- ence between the conferees will be re- ferred to arbitration. ADDITIONAL CUSTOM FRAUDS Undervalulng Automobiles the Latest Discovery. New York, Jan. 20.—More trouble in the customs service in New York has come to light. The disclosures may bare a system which will rank with the sugar cases. Undervaluing sutomobiles is the new game. Joseph P. McGrath, a young customs clerk, is specifically charged with hav- ing defrauded the government out of $450 by deducting $1,000 from the value of a car which arrived in New York on Nov. 26 last. The machine, according to the appraiser’s certificate, was valued at $1,850, but McGrath, it is alleged, altered this to read $850. The duty on automobiles is 45 per cent ad valorem hence the govern- ment stood to lose exactly $450. If many other cars have been brought in under this alleged fraudu- lent arrangement thousands have been lost to the federal authorities. STREET CAR MEN MAY STRIKE Vote Taken at Philadelphia Favors a Walkout. Philadelphia, Jan. 20.—As the resuit of a series of disagreements between the grievance committee of the local union and the management of the Phijladelphia Rapid Transit company 6,000 motormen and conductors, mem- bers of the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Em- ployes, voted to strike at the call of the executive board of the union. The men claim that the management of the company has violated the terms of the agreement entered into at the close of the last strike and that mem- bers of the union have been discrimi- nated against in favor of members of & new rival union. Indian Bill Tarriés Less. ‘Washington, Jan. 20.—The house committee on Indian affairs, of which Representative Burke of South Dakota is chairman, has practically completed its work on the Indian appropriation bill.

Miss Jane Addams Recovering. Chicago, Jan. 20.—At the Augustana hospital it was stated that Miss Jane Addams would be ablesto leave that institution within two or three days.

The wound had not healed properly and complications resulted that made another operation necessary. * COURT UPHOLDS THE TAFT VIEW Comment on Kansas Corpo- ration Law Decision. ADNINISTRATION - ELATED 8upreme Court of the 'United States, In the Case of the Western Union Telegraph Company, Holds That a State Cannot Tax Outside Property of a Corporation Engaged in Legal Interstate Business. ‘Washington, Jan. ( ).—*I deem the decision one of very great importance in sustaining the legislation recom- mended by the-president regulating railroads,” said Frank B. Kellogg of St. Paul in commenting upon the de- cislon of the United States supreme court in the case of the Western Un- jon Telegraph company against the state of Kansas. Mr. Kellogg argued the case in question before the courts. The administration is elated over the decision of the court, as it laid down a rule which the president be- lieves will be of great ald to the ad- ministration in sustaining its general legislation, especially the -Tegulation of interstate carriers. The court held that where a cor- poration is legally in a state engaged in interstate and domestic commerce the state cannot place a tax on all its corporate stock representing its property beyond the state and its in- terstate commerce as a.condition of its continuing to do a domestic busi- ness. The court held that a state might tax all the property situated in the state, or it might tax a proportion of its capital stock representing that property, but that it could not tax property situated beyond the state, nor could it impose these taxes as a condition of granting the corporation the privilege to do a local business. The decision, while protecting the states in all of their rights of taxing property engaged in commerce in the states, whether domestic or interstate, limits the power of the state to inter- fere with corporations engaged in in- terstate commerce. FOR UNIFORM LEGISLATION Definite Recommendations Made. by Washington Conference. ‘Washington, Jan. ..9.—Definite rec- ommendations for uniform legislation in the states for the conservation of natural resources.occupied the atten- tion of the conference called by the National Civic Federation. The programme includes the pas- sage of uniform state laws regulating insurance, the acquisition of water for power and the removal of taxes from growing timber. The timber resolu- tions are fathered by the National Lumber Manufacturers’ association and endorsed by Pinchot. They call for taxation of timber only when it is cut and no tax on timber lands. To tax growing timber, they urge, is to place a premium on the speedy denudation of the land be- cruse of the tax burden. Uniform tax for lands now under state control are urged also. The - committee also endorsed the universal divorce law endorsed by the national divorce committee. BLACK HAND IS SUSPECTED Italian Girl Chicago. Chicago, Jan. *.—It is reported to the police that the Black Handers are responsible for'the kidnapping of Ma- rila Maroccio, a seventeen-year-old Italian girl, who was bundled into a cab when she left her home to go to work. Maria’s younger sister Rosa was also seized, but broke away and spread the alarm. Apparently Maria made no struggle or outery when she was selzed. There were three men in the cab and when the two girls passed the men jumped out and seized both. Rosa was unable to describe them, but she was certain they were Ital- ians. According to witnesses the cab had been waiting ten minutes before the girls came. The cab was driven rap idly away and soon disappeared. DISCUSSED BY GOVERNORS Conservation Question Considered at Conference. ‘Washington, Jan. 20.—Conservation of resources was the topic considered by the thirty state governors now in conference ' here.

NOT ALARMED BY BOYCOTT Packers Do Not Think People Will Become Vegetarians. Chicago, Jan. 20.—Will other cities follow the lead of Cleveland in curtail- ing meat consumption while prices re- main high? And will Ohio really re- spond to the appeal of Chairman Will- jams of that state’s legislative food committee to turn vegetarians until thé prices on meats are Towered? The answer is “perhaps” to both questions, but, anyway, the officials of the big Chicago packing houses reveal no sign of worry just yet. “Will the appeal of Mr. Williams in Ohio have a bad effect on the packing industry?” Arthur W. Meeker, general manager of Armour & Co., was asked. “H’'m, well, I don’t want to say any- thing about that,” he responded. Morris & Co. apparently neither have felt nor are apprehensive of unto- ward effects from the Ohio proclama- tlon judged by the attitude of Vice President T. E. Wilson. “I really know nothing about the proposed Ohio boycott on meats,” he said. FOR RELEASE OF PATRICK Prisoner’s Brother Working on New Plan for Freedom.

Chicago, Jan. 20.—An increase of 5 cents a hundred pounds on first class freight from New York to Chicago by lake and rail practically has been agreed upon, according to dispatches from the East. All the lines had agreed to the advance, with the excep- tion of the Grand Trunk railway—Na- tional Dispatch—it was stated. It is said that pressure is being brought to bear on this liné to induce it to join in the increase. This boost will be worked out by the reduction of the differential of the lake and rail under the all-rail rates. This differential has been 10 cents a hun- dred pounds on first class freight. The water lines are said to have agreed to| cut this differential in half, giving them a rate of only 5 cents lower than that by all-rail.
