MOTORMAN OF CAR BLAMED Held Responsibe for (Wis.) Disaster. Sheboygan, Wis., Feb. 16.—George Thieme, motorman of a local street car which crashed through an open bridge draw into the Sheboygan river, drowning three women passengers, is held responsible for the accident by a coroner’s jury. 1t is charged Thieme allowed his car to speed down a steep hill leading to the open draw and through his negligence was unable to forestall the fatal plunge.

Many startling innovations will be witnesed by visitors at the coming Minneapolis auto show which opens| in the armory Feb. 18. The manage- ment has contrived with the assist- ance of Decorator Buelow of Detroit, a most fascinating scheme of decora- tions for the huge armory building and it is thought the show going public will put its hearty stamp of approval on their efforts. A crew of expert decorators is now at work, early and late, on the armory. Two heroic figures, Labor and Science, will occupy prominent places near the main entrance. These will be flanked by immense pillars, and huge lions will be used effective- 1y at different places in the building, adding much to the dignty and grace of the decorative scheme. A carload of Southern smilax has| considerable effect in working out the general plans for beautifying the building. Another novelty will be the sky ceiling which has never been used before in decorating the armory. All in all the work of the decorators promises to produce results which will be startling and which will lend their full measure to the general beauty of the show. Every indication points to immense crowds and Manager Wilmot, for—; seeing this condition, took pains to make several improvements when maping out the floor space for the | exhibits.

All those who are going from Bemidji should so inform the Pioneer. i All reservations for the match, which is to staged in the Lyceum theatre, will be held until the night of the contest. | MAY APPOINT McCLENAHAN| Urge Governor Eberhart to Name| Him Supreme Court Judge.

There was a dress rehearsal of Bull Run in-the city council chambers of Crookston Tuesday night when Presi- dent Husey took the floor and made sweeping charges that Crookston was reputed to have disorderly houses on every corner and that someone was getting graft. He declared that Chief of Police Creamer, Captain Eck and some of the patrolmen had been told of the conditions, and replied they received no orders. President Husey said: “Someomne is getting a fat graft,” and that the money should come into the coffers of the city through the municipal court. He also said that a young man who had received a legacy had been squandering it in riotous living at these places and in gambling. The young man’s name was not given. Mayor McKinnon was purple with anger and denied the charges in a heated address. i Alderman Christenson, Snyder and Harris were named as a committee to conduct an investigation and report. The affair has created great excite- ment. After the meeting of the council several city officials made a raid on the Columbia Hotel and discovered four young men of the eity and O. Osmonson of Fertile in the place with as many girls who had been serving beer and were sitting on their laps. Grace Campbell, who runs fhe ho- tel, was arrested charged with sell- Ing beer without a Iicense. NORMAL SCHOOL BILL ‘WHING. SAYS O°NEILL Will Be Presented By Thief River Falls Man, But Probably Can’t Pass Senate. FIRE REPORTS ARE PLANNED Kerry Conley Would Have All Blazes Investigated and Reported to = State Marshall. (BY ¥. A. Wilson) {Bemidji Pionssr Legislative Bureau St. Paul, Feb. 16.—It now seems likely that the old normal school con- | troversy will be revived at the pres- ent sesalon of the legislature. Rep- resentative D. P. O'Neil of Thief River Falls has been requested to in- troduce a normal school bill. “The bill is being prepared,” said Mr. O'Neii, “and will be introduced at the present session.”” It is not likely that such a measure can pass the senate although Mr. O’Neil probably would be able to get it through the house. x % x The house played a joke on Rep- resentative O’Neil yesterday. Mr. O’Neil put in a bill regulating the mayor’s contingent fund, whereupon Representative Orr introduced the following resolution: “Whereas, several members of the legislature attended the Republican Lincoln club banquet at the Mer- chants hotel last evening and where- as, the Honorable Mayor Keller was among the principal speakers of the evening, and all members were royal- 1y entertaiued, and whereas, “there appears in the records of today a new house bill introduced by D. P. O’Neill of the new Pennington coun- ty, providing for a mayor’s contin- gent fund in cities; Be it resolved that the Speaker ap- point a committee to investigate in- to the conduct of the gentleman from Pennington, also why the aforesaid gentleman should be interested in mayor’s contingent funds and report to this House its finding immedi- | ately.” The resolution was unanimously adopted. Representative O’Neill joined in the laugh which followed. x X X | Kerry Conley, representative from iRDchester, has a bill for the appoint- ment of a state fire marshall and two assistants. The measure calls upon the mayors, presidents of village councils, clerks of town boards to re- port all fires to the state fire mar- shall where the loss is more than $50. Investigation is to be made within two days after a fire and the report sent within a week’s time. Fire chiefs who do not receive more than $50 a year compensation are to be given $2 for each fire reported. x ¥ ¥ E. E. McDonald, the Bemidji at- torney, was at the Capitol yester- day. He came to St. Paul on busi- ness connected with the “lid lifting” cases, and held an important confer- ence with U. S. District Attorney C. C. Houpt. Mr. McDonald’s name ap- pears in the list of guests at the Lin- coln Club banpuet given at the Mer- chants’ Hotel on Tuesday evening. ‘THROUGH THE GLOUDS' Judge Grey wins out. “Through the Clouds,” is the title of the first ‘picture shown at the Majestic thea- tre, and is very interesting from start to finish, showing a fair repre- sentation of American politics. The most interesting part of this picture is the flight of an aeroplane which everybody deligths to see. “Effecting a Cure,” the second pic- ture, is one of those good old comedies that make everyone feel good and hold their sides with laughter. These pictures will be shown tonight for the last time. 4
