He told of {having received a pledge from the secretary of the Northern Minnesota Development association and that he refused to sign it but did agree to aid in work of securing reapportion- ment. Senator Marden did not say anything about having placed his signature in ink to an agreement to support the Congdon bill and he blindly voted against it. Senator George H.

As Bagley: has without doubt the fastest team in this part of the state the game gives promise of being a good one, In the contest this evening the Be- midji five will be much strengthened by the addition of the Neuman brothers-in the lineup. Alfred will start the game at forward while Ernest will play centre. Larson, the Bemidji captain, who has been at centre during the year will play the other forwvard, and Peck and Spencer will be at guards, giv- ing the wearers of the blue and white a five which will hold its‘own with any team in the state. The contest this evening will be the last one of the season, and bask- their | last chlnce of witnussing a game. As a preliminary this evening the Bagley Midgets and the seventh grade of “the Bemidji school ' will play, as these players all average about 13 years of age an interesting game is éxpected.’ BI FIELD DAY |TOMORROW Minnesota Anti-Saloon- League - Will Hold ‘Annual Meeting.

Believed to Be Move to Break Broth- erhood of Railway Clerks. St. Paul, March 18.—Superintendent Norman Perkins has begun a probe of the agitation started against Postmas- ter General Hitchcock and his econo- my policy by the mail clerks of the Tenth division. Ten men were called before him and interrogated as.to their connection with the movement. Three questions were put to. the clerks: They were: “Are you interested in the move- ment to have the railway' mail clerks join the American Federation of La- bor?” “Are you interested in the secret brotherhood formed here - several weeks ago?” “Are you interested and did you sub- scribe to the fund which sent James Manahan to Washington in behalf of the clerks?” Superintendent Perkins displayed a telegram from Assistant Postmaster General Stewart ordering the investi- gation. Other than that he refused tc diecuss the probe. e The clerks are considering the call- ing of another meeting in an effort to compel the department to take some nothing could be done to save them.

ALL COMPANIES AFFECTED Trouble Began Several Days Ago When the Men of the Adams Com- pany Went Out—Instead of Expect- ed Settloment a Sympathetic Walk- out of All Employes in New York and Jersey City Is Ordered. New York, March 18.—Drivers and helpers of the Adams, United States and Wells-Fargo Express companies in New York city and Jersey City have struck in obedience to a general strike order issued in Jersey City. Employes of the American and National Express companies reported for work as usual, but leaders of the strikers declared they expected them to joln the walk- out. The strike will involve upward of 5,000 men and affect’many others. The strike started several days ago with the men’of the Adams company, who complained of alleged discrimina- tion against certain employes involved in the general strike last fall. It was believed Thursday that a set- -tlement of the difficulty between the Adams men and the company was in prospect through the promise of the leaders that the men would return to work pending discussion of settlement terms which Mayor Gaynor had prom- ised to bring about. This plan, however, was overturned at a meeting of delegates of the em- ployes of the various companies in Jersey City, when it was decided not only to keep the Adams men out, but to extend the strike sympathetically, to the men of the other companies. FAIR TREATMENT PROMISED Americans Held by Mexican Govern- ment in No Danger. ‘Washington, March 18.—American. citizens held as prisoners of war by the Mexican authorities at Casas Grandes, who have been reported in danger of execution, and Henry Whit- tle, who was arrested at Ciudad Por- sured of fair treatment, according to telegraphic advices received by the state department from American con- sular officers in Mexico. The American consul at Juarez tele- graphed the department that General Navarro, commander of the federal forces at Casas Grandes, had assured him that the report that the men were in danger was without foundation and that the prisoners would receive every possible consideration.
