SELECTIONS MADE BY MANN Minority Leader Announces Repub- lican Members—Steenerson on Postoffice Committee. Washington, April 12.—Northwest- ern progressives were recognized in the assignment of house committees made by Minority Leader James R. Mann of Illinois. Many ot the progressives land committee places handsomely | IBASE BALL PRAGTIGE BEGUN | Coach Robinson Called His Candid- ! ates Together Yesterday. l r Yesterday the first call for can- }didates for the high school baseball | | } Although the weather was rather |bad a large number of cnndidntesi | responded to the call, which ’was} nine was issued by Coach Robinson. posted on the bulletin board and| | Which read as follows: “All can-| didates for the baseball team will Dlease report at the grounds tonight, | in bathing suits.” i Coach Robinson believes that the| material on hand at the present time | is very good and says that the pros- ! pects for a winning team were never} ! brighter. | There are at present only three! candidates for pitcher, and as one! of the first rank. {of these will in all probability be!

An examination of the committee | list made up by Minority Leader Mann| discloses that it is the purpose, if pos-| sible, to harmonize the factional dif-| ferences in the party. Minnesotans Fare Well. Minnesota Republicans fared well in the allotment of committee places. The state retains practically all the im-| portant places it had in the last con.| gress, losing military affairs, which was reliquished by Representative; Stevens, and appropriations, vacated| by the retirement of James A. Tawney. Representative Sidney Anderson, known to fame as the man whog suc- ceeded Mr. Tawney, fared as well as new members usually do. mittee on pensions. While Representative F. C. Stevens vacated military affairs he advances in rank on the important committee on interstate and foreign commerce, be coming the first Republican on that committee, Minority Leader Mann hav- ing retired himself from that organiza tion. Representative Halvor Steenerson, who lost an important committee through the abolishment of the mili- tia committee, was assigned to post- offices. The other Minnesota mem bers retain their old positions. Martin Is Promoted. There was only one important chunge in the committee assignments of the Dakota members. Representa- tive E. W. Martin of South Dakota was transferred from public buildings to interstate and foreign commerce, a substantial promotion. Representa- tive C. H. Burke, who was chairman of the Indian committee in the last Louse, was named ranking minority member of the committee by Nr. Mann. Representative L. B. Hanna of North Dakota, who was on agricultur- al and Indian affairs in the previous house, remains on agriculture, his col- league, Representative Ilelgeson, be- ing assigned to Indian affairs. Repie- sentative John J. Esch of La Crosse, Wis., remains on interstate commerze. So far as can be learned there is little complaint by Republicans over th2 committee assignments made by Mi- | nority Leader Mann. Some of the progressives promanted by Mr. Mann were opposed to his selection as leader. OPPOSED TO RECIPROCITY Meeting of Minnesota Farmers Held at St. Paul. St. Paul, April 12.—Minnesota farm- ers opposed to Canadian reciprocity held a mass meeting in the old capitol and decidad to fight the proposed pact with all their might. Two hundred and fifty from all parts of the state formed a convention which went strongly on record as opposed, not to reciprocity, but to the kind of reciprocity proposed in the bill before congress. Besides farmers there were many representatives of co-operative cream- eries, farmers’ journals, farmers’ in- surance companies, farmers’ elevators and kindred industries. There was not a dissenting voice when it was proposed to form a state- wide organization that will send a committee to Washington to oppose the passage of the Canadian reciproc- ity bill. .

Daly, head of the wholesale stamp depart- ment of the Chicago postoffice, who stands accused of taking $8,500 in government funds, walked into the federal building and gave himself up.

The crowd at the depot and along the streets waited patiently | | for an hour or more just to catch sight | of the former president as he passed | H | | from his private car to the hotel, | Mr. Roosevelt's first engagement | was an address to the students of the | State university at 11 o'clock.

SENATE SEEKS INFORMATION Asks Postmaster General to Explain Recent Ruling. ‘Washington, April 12.—Postmaster General” Hitchcock is called upon by a resolution passed by the senate to inform the senate why he barred from second class matter 103,000 copies of a weekly paper published in the inter- est of women.

A.-Melges—Appoint- ment is Good One. SCHOOLS TO BE CLOSED FRIDAY | Present Corps of Teachers With But Few Exceptions to Return—Miss Donaldson Accepts Position. At the meeting of the Bemidji .| Board of Education held last evening the matter of appointing a’member to succeed A. A. Melges, who recent- ly moved to Minneapolis was | brought up. S. J. Harvey was suggested for the position, and his appointment fol- lowed. The appointment of Mr. Harvey to the school board meets with the gen- eral approval of those who are inter- ested in the Bemidji public schools, as he is in Be- midji business circles, is a property prominent owner, and a man upon whose shoulders the cares and responsibil- ities of being a member of the school board may well be placed. The board decided that there should be no school on next Friday, which is Good Friday. When interviewed by a represen- tative of the Pioneer this morning superintendent of schools W. P. Dyer, was feeling in the best of spirits, he having just recéived notice that Miss Ethel Murray, who has so ably filled the position of music instructor dur- ing the past year, will return to Be- midji next year. Miss Murray had up until this morning been very un- decided as to just where she would | teach next, having received several offers. Mr. Dyer also said that he had re- ceived word from Miss Floy Donald- | son, to the effect that she would ac- cept her election to teach in the Be- midji schools next year. Miss Donaldson, had accepted her re-election for this school year, but when school opened last fall she was forced to give up her position on ac- count of the serious condition of her eyes. A list of this years instructors who will return to Bemidji next fall are as follows: Elisa Loe, ‘W. Z.
