There seems to be some misunder- standing in this locality according to Game Warden Bailey as to when pike may be caught. There is 2 law in the statutes of Minnesota which makes it -legal to fish rough'fish during certain months of the year, March and April being included. Aspike are not regarded as rough fish, to catch, no matter whether with line or spear, is a crime and a person is subject to a fine. The fish house season for 1910- 1911 comes to an end at the close of this month. The regular summer fishing sea- son will begin May 1. lIllIII BREAKS £66 HEGI]RD HUUSE m W"_n - S END “INSULT” IN SPEAKER FIGHT..oosict v Bemidji IhnBeheanhchlB-m 'J_ D.

Columbus, O., March 24—The safe in the postoffice at Gahanna, ten miles northeast of Columbus, was blown soon after midnight and in the fight ‘that followed between deputies and citizens, led by Mayor W. P. Dawson, and the five robbers two of the latter were injured. The robbery was expected by Post- .master B. H. Starr, at whose request Mayor Dawson called on Sheriff Sar- tain and Chief of Police Carter for protection. The sheriff sent five.depu- ties. The postmaster removed most of his | stamps and valuables from the safe, so that there was little to be ob- tained when the raid was made. -Patten Increases Donation.

That the first wave of indignation| which greeted Representative Klemer's charges on Wednesday; has subsided was shown today when! the House refused a 'suspension of the tules'in order to - adopt’ - a” vote of censure for Klémer and thus pave the way for a dramatic crisis of the entire; sensational episode at (he Slmrdlv morning session: :ipuhnmenury language made -use £ in ‘the house by Hon.

R. C. Dunn of Princeton, chair- man of the Klemer investigating committee, offered a resolution pre- pared by his committee which again recited that Klemer had: been guilty, of “‘grossly improper remarks" and containing a provision that Klemer, 'who refused to.apologize, be cen- sured by the House. Representative Nolan of Mume apolis apparently figured that Klemer was not getting. a square; deal and gave notice of ‘the time, which under.the rules, would carry the _resolution: over until tomorrow. R. C. Dunn had his Irish dander up and stated that now was the time to fight it out and stop this turmoil which has stirred the House and he therefore moved that a -suspension of the rules so that his resolution might be taken up instead of being continued over until tomorrow. A suspension of the rules requires a two-thirds vote, whlch is eighty in number. . Dunn’s motion was lost by 68 far and 44 against. Speaker Dunn plainly showed that he wished this resolution to pass and its defeat is considered as a slap,at the speaker. 2 x KK Representative Klemer refuses to discuss at any length his charges against the speaker which have proven to be a national sensation. The Associated Press sends out a report on the incident and the larger papers throughout the country are calling for “specials”. feiract the charges made.in each' andj*every particular; in default thereof he will be censured by a vote of this house.” Immediately foHoqiuz this report, Mt. Klemer replied as follows: “Mr. Speaker, in my remarks yes-' iterday on-the floor of this house, o said that ‘the committees of “this house were packed in the interest of the special interests. I simply .said what I believed to be true from what I had learned since my election. "1 am not the only person in this state wio entertains this belief. I was simply voicing the sentiments of a large proportion of the genmeral public. A great deal of indignation bas been expressed on the floor of this house on account of my remarks and I have been asked to make a public apology in order to exonerate the speaker and appointees. I wish to admit frankly that anything I might say at this time will not help to change public sentiment or add any honor to any member of this body. This matter was given wide *| publication in the public press and will be discussed generally through- ‘out the state. “I am willing to apologize for what I have said if, after a thorough and impartial investigation by this house it shall appear that my con- victions and the convictions of the public are not well founded. “I therefore propose Mr. Speaker, that a committee of seven members be appointed of which I shall be allowed to name three, the speaker three, and the six to name the seventh member for the purpose of investigating the charges that I have made and that such committee be given full power to subpoena witnesses and compel the production of books and papers bearing on this question and I beg leave to express the wish that it may conclusively appear that this house has been organized in the interests of the people and not packed by the special interests and until such time, I re- The Thursday morning Chicago papers prominently displayed the episode under big headings. ‘} “Mr. Klemer nvw denies that he spectfully request that my apology be deferred.” Mr. Klemer then introduced a resolution embodymg his propo sition lfor‘a committee of investigation. Speaker Dunn, who plainly was nuch angered said: say that in my opinion the resolu- tion is not fit to be considered by this or any other patlumemuy body.” 2 It wasat this point that Repre- | hause adjourn until 3 o’clock Thurs- day afternoon when it was expected the Klemer resolution wotild be con- sidered but when the house met it proceeded with other business, leav- ing the Klemer affait up in the air until this morning. Lynn Haines was in the gallery, yesterday. Early in the morning he was in conference with Mr. Klemer. It is said that Mr. Klemer has received many telegrams urging him to stand by his assertion. x X X At yesterday’s afternoon session of the house, Representative Con- verse’ bill. appropriating $10,000 for 2 new fish hatchery at or near De- troit, was recommended for passage. The entire session was given over to disscussion of bills while the house sat asa committee of the whole with Representative Andrew Anderson in the chair. xKK " Senator Saugstad has presented 2 bill which prohibits - membership fees fixed at more than SSOOO tor boardsof trade, ch:mbers com- merce and similar orglmzamo also limits membership and pmv , that ' market quotations are ‘to be‘ free to all persons and any violation is made punishable by a fine 'oi not less than $5,000 or 1mpflsonment of ot hu thian one or mnre thantwo Years. - s e e g ' Efforts on the part of the house to pass over the governor’s veto the bill permitting letter carriérs to tide free on street cars failed by a vote of 62 to' 50." ‘A two-thirds vote was needed. Representative W. A. Camp- bell of Minneapolis caused a small thrill when he said: “I do not mean to say that Ed Smith is gov- ernor of Minnesota but I do mean to say that he used all the power for. influence he possesses to kill the bill.” ¥ x K x For the first time during the present session, both houses will meet tomorrow. This is the last day on which bills may be introduced. 600D PROGRAM AT MAJESTIC Bill to Be Put on Latter Half of Week Good.One.
