KOLL MENTIONED REPRESENTATIVE TIMBER Ex-Receiver_ of the Cass Lake Land Office Would Make a Splen- did Legislator. Cass Lake, Feb. 22.—(Special to Pioneer.) —The fact that Representa- tive P. H. McGarry has definitely de- cided to enter the Congressional fight has got the people of this district to wondering who they are going to get to fill the shoes of Mr. McGarry, who has so ably managed things dur- ing his short career in the legislature. The friends of M. N. Koll of Cass Lake are eagerly endeavoring, to get him to takeup the burden and, although Mr. Koll has not decided, as yet, whether he will or will not enter the race, it is confidently be- lieved that he will concede to his friends’ desires. The pressure which is being brought to bear upon his candidacy is of a very strong nature and looks very much as if Mr. Koll could be elected with little trouble. His prominence at the develop- ment meeting at Bemidji last week clearly demonstrated that he is held in high esteem by the many able politicians throughout the district. Mr. Koll was chairman of the com- mittee on resolutons, besides being a member of several other commit- tees. His work on these commit- tees won him considerable praise. Mr. Koll'is a good “‘mixer” and seems to make friends wherever he goes. He held the office of receiver of the local U. S. Land Office dur- ing the administration of Congress- man Buckman. During his time in the land office he has come in con- tact with a large number of men in this district. 5 Mrs. ], J.

SINNERS ‘BECOME FANATICAL Remarkable Demonstration at Evangel- ist Meeting. Youngstown, O., Feb. 22.—One of the most remarkable religious demon- strations ever witnessed occurred at the Youngstown tabernacle when Evangelist “Billy” Sunday closed his six- weeks’ campaign in what was conceded to be the most wicked city in Ohjo. The thousands who heard the evangelist deliver the most hair raising addresses that ever came from his lips became almost fanatical. Men and women leaped into the air, screamed, cried, hugged each other and prayed in a most beseeching way. The evangelist himself, carried away by the great demonstration, invoked them to continue and at the end of the services was accompanied to his hotel by thousands of enthusiastic converts, where there was another demonstration. It is. estimated that over 5,000 peo- ple, anxious to see and hear the evan- gelist, were turned away from -the tabernacle. Teamster Crushed to Death.

PRACTICALLY IN STATE OF SIEGE Philadelphia Strects Swarm VWith Policemen,’ CITIZENS FEAR TO RIDE —_— Boycott Street Cars Operated by Non- union Men Rather Than Face a Chance of Stopping a Bullet or a ‘Brick—Nearly Three Hundred Cars Damaged, Some Seriously, in Sun- day Night's Rioting. Philadelphia, Feb. 22.—With every member of the police force on duty and the regulars augmented by spe- cially ‘picked men ‘sworn in for the purpose this city is practically in a state of siege. ' Following' the rioting of the previous day street fighting was resumed when the street car company the employes of which are on strike, attempted to run its cars. ' Because most workmen were forced to resume their regular employment the rioting was not of so severe a character and the police managed to break up all the fights without serious delay. A drizzling rain, carried through the street by a brisk wind, made pedes- trianism most uncomfortable, but many walked to their work rather than face the chance of stopping a brick or a bullet by patronizing the cars. Vehicles of all 'descriptions are transporting persons to and from their work and team owners are reaping a harvest, but are unable to take care of more than-an infinitesimal part of the traffic. In the Kensington district, where the worst rioting took place, many ‘workmen are idle. This section is in- habited mostly by working people and those who work at a distance re- mained at home rather than walk and as they are absolutely in sympathy with the strikers they would not patronize the cars. The poiice are coming:in for severe criticism because of the fact that on the Lancaster avenue division police- men are running the cars with the nonunion men hidden:in the doorway. of the cars telling them how to do. it. As an evidence of-Sunday night’s rioting it is-said by the company that 297 of its cars were damaged and that mahny will have to be rebuilt before be- ing restored to service. Cars were attacked in various parts of the city during the morning. The most serious outbreak occurred in the mill district, in the northeastern sec- tion, when a crowd, after beating the motorman and conductor of a car, wrecked the conveyance. The two men injured nad to be taken to hos- pitals. The motorman’s skull is be- lieved to be fractured. - INDICTMENTS - ARE READY Said True Bills Will Be Returnec Against Chicago Packers. Chicago, Feb. 22.—The Record-Her- ald says: It has become known that indictments have. been drawn in the government’s beef investigation and that the return of true bills against members of the federal grand: jury who have heard thé veidence submit: ted in the past four weeks by District Attorney Edwin W. Sims and his as- sistants. Only the desire of the federal law- yers to submit an exhaustive review of the packing case and the anxiety of the jury to make the inquiry complete in all details have worked against the return of indictments before this date. This attitude of thoroughness and carefulness will hold until the end ot the inquiry, which may continue for two weeks longer. Word has been received in New York city from ULondon of the birth of a daughter to the -Countess of Granard, who was Miss Mills, daughter of Ogden Mills. Miss Mills was married tc Bernard Arthur Will- fam P. Hastings Forbes, Earl of Gra- nard, early in January, 1909. CRACK TRAIN IS DERAILED One Man Kllled and Scores of Persons Narrowly Escape Death. St. Paul, Feb. 22—John Willis, bag- gageman, was killed and scores of pas- sengers escaped death or serious in- Jury ‘as by miracle when the Pioneer limited, the crack Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul train, was wrecked two miles east of Hastings. The wreck was caused by a hroken rail and six cars, including the bag- gage car and five sleepers, left the rails and went down a twelve-foot em- bankment. The baggage car turned over and over, but the sleepers re- mained upright. The accident happened about break- fast time and a majority of the Pull- man passengers were in the diner, which remained on the track. FIVE COMPANIES OF TROOPS GUARD CITY Further Anti-Negro Demonstra- tions Feared at Gairo. Cairo, I1l, Feb. 22.—With a hundred more militiamen brought to this city by special train and with the people in a sullen mood awaiting’ develop- ments, a short time is expected to bring the strained situation in Cairo to a head. All night the officials were in con- stant fear of an outbreak against the negroes. As a result the soldiers kept 8 vigilant eye on the entire city, patrol- ling the streets in a drizzling -rain which for twenty-four hours has done much to prevent people from congre: gating. The hunt for the supposed confed- erate of John Pratt, the negro purse snatcher whose robbery of two women precipitated the present race trouble, is being continued. X Company H of Shelbyville, ordered out at midnight, has arrived, increas ing the militia to a total of five com- panies. MINERS TO GET INCREASE Made by President of Organization. * Peoria, 111, Feb. 22.—President T. L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers has announced that a conference of operators and miners’ officials of Penn- sylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and perhaps Illinois will be held at Cincin- nati on Wednesday to issue a call for another joint conference of miners and operators at which the wage scale controversy, which was the cause of the breaking up of the conference at Toledo recently, will be scttled. “You can say,” said President Lewis, “that the joint conference will be held; that every union miner in the district named will'get an advance in wages; that there will be no strike and- that there will not even be an in- terruption in wark pending a settle- ment.” AN INSURGENT.

POLICY Reads Address at Opening of British Parliament, DOCUMENT VERY BRIEF Indicates That the Work of the Ses- sion Will Be Confined to an Effort to Curb the Power of the House of Lords and to the Matter of Finance. Substantial Increase in- Estimates for the Navy. London, Feb. 22—King Edward opened in state the third parliament of his reign. In a momentous speech from the throne his majesty outlined the plan of the ministerial campaign against the house of lords as follows: “Recent experience has disclosed serieus difficulties, due to recurring differences: of strong opinion between the two branches of the legislature. Proposals will be laid before you with all convenient speed to define the re- lations between the houses of parlia- ment so as to secure the undivided authority of the house of commons over finance and its predominance in legislation. These measures,-in the opinion of advisers, should provide that this house should be so consti- tuted and empowered as to exercise impartially in regard to proposed leg- islation.” The king’s speech, which had been awaited with such profound interest, proved to be unusually brief and made plain that the work of the session would be confined to the matter of finance and the question of the house of lords. The financial estimates for the com- ing year were first set forth. “These,” said his majesty, “have been framed with the utmost desire for economy, but the requirements for the naval defense of the empire made it neces- sary to propose a substantial increase in the cost of my navy.” Finances in Need of Attention. Recording the fact that the expen- ditures authorized by the last parlia- ment were being incurred and met by a recourse to temporary borrowing the speech declared: “Arrangements must be made at the earliest possible- mo- ment to deal with the financial situa- tion thus created.” This was taken as confirmation of Premier Asquith’s avowed determina- tion to regularize the present con- duct of financial affairs before attack- ing the house of lords. The most im- portant pronouncement was reserved for the end of the speech, which closed with the paragraph upon the relations between the two houses as given above. The reading of the speech occupied only four minutes. At the close their majesties retired and the session was suspended for two hours. American Ambassador Reid and William Phil- lips, secretary of the American em- bassy, were among the diplomats present. During the intermission the speech was the subject of keen analysis' in the lobbies of both houses. It was regarded as evident that the cabinet had decided against the extremists who desire the abolition of the upper chamber- and is anxious only to de- prive the house of lords of the power of veto. REDMOND ASKS FOR FUNDS Irish Members of Parliament in a Fighting Mood. London, Feb. 22.—A meeting of all of the Irish Nationalists in the new house of commons was held to deter- mine the party attitude toward the governmental programme. John Redmond, leader of the Irish parliamentary party, presided and that he is in a-mood to fight unless Premier Asquith clears the way for Irish. as- pirations may be gathered from his appeal to the people of Ireland for party funds. “This appeal,” said Ml'. Redmond, “§s vitally urgent by reason of the strong probdbility that another -disso- lution of parliament will be upon us immediately—perhaps before Easter.” The meeting authorized Mr. Red: mond to voice the already expressed opinion of the party regarding the policy that should be pursued but sus- pended decision on the final action to be taken until the king’s speech had been read and the position of the gov- ernment more fully disclosed.
