Poll of senate shows that first and second choice measure is favored. The effort made by some of the house members to cut legislative re- apportionment off the legislative pro- gram was defeated vesterday by a vote of 48 to 60. The vote does not indicate tha al- lignment of the house on reapportion- ment, but shows there are forty- eight members anxious to adjourn early. In the senate the steam roller worked beautifully. FEfforts of Sena- tor G. H. Sullivan of Stillwater to break the combine of fifty-five sena- tors failed. Appeals from the anti- organization men to increase the elec- tion committee from nine to nineteen members were ineffective. The house clearly indicated that it will pass some kind of a reapportion- ment bill and the rest of its program and go home, regardless of what the senate does. It dropped resolutions and bills into the legislative mill with frequency. Before the house adjcurned at noon until 11 a. m. today—bills had been introduced covering the proposed legislative program with the excep- tion of a corrupt practices act. Frank E. Minnette, Sauk Center, introduced a gross earnings tax bill boosting the rate to six per cent. Lenry Rines of Mora and C. H. Warner of Atkin in- troduced a bill fixing the rate at five per cent. These, with resolutions ratifying the two federal tax amend- ments were referred tc committee. R. C. Dunn tmeied to get in some general legislation but the house would not receive his bills, The most important would prohibit the sale‘of Virginia bonds. In the senate, Senator Hayeraft introduced his first and second choice primary bill. Senator Sullivan of Washington county also introduced a primary bill containing a first and second choice. The senate immedi- ately was involved in a wrangle to make both these bills a special order for Friday. One of the important develop- ments in the house was the announce- ment that C. H. Warner and D. P. O’Neil of Thief River Falls are pre- paring a reapportionment bill which they hope will overcome the opposi- tion of southern senators and repre- sentatives. It provides that-the pres- ent districts remain intact and that four or five representatives be given to northern Minnesota where the greatest inadequacies exist. Some of the northern representatives are op- posed now to the Congdon bill be- cause they fear it cannot pass. Cleon T. Knapp wil!l not introduce his _elections bill on the floor, but it LATE NEWS. Democrats are Scrapping. Duluth, June 6.—(Special at 3:30) ~—The Democratic convention in ses- sion in this city has developed into a hot fight over the resolutions. They have been scrapping over this feature all day and the present outlook for an agreement is bad. This alternoon, the districts have been caucusing to select men for the Baltimore conven- tion and at this time six of the nine districts have named their men. Rosewater Cliairman. Chicago, June 6.— (Special Pioneer wire service) —Victor Rosewater, of | Omaha, was today clected chairman of the Republican national committee of which he has been acting chair- man for some time. It was also de- cided to allow two members of eanh‘ press association to Le present at the hearings of the contesis. Reapportionment Dead. elected to the Baltimere convention are Martin O’Brien, of Crookston and Pat J. Daly, of Perham; alternates, P. J. Russell, of Bemidji, and G C. Thorpe, Ada. In_the Eighth district, Alfred Jac- ques, of Duluth, has been chosen for one seat, and there is a contest be- tween Garalneault of Aitkin and C. M. King of Deer River. for the other. The convention is strong for Wil- son although there are many Clark delegates. The committee on resolu- tions has not yet reported but there will probably be no fight over the re- port. The main fight now ic being waged over the “Unit Rule” which will give: a solid delegation to Wilson if passed. The convention will be over tonight. | - Hearing on Saturday. Charles Swanland will be brought before Court Commissioner Crowell at 10 a. m, Saturday morning for his preliminary hearing. It seems to be the general opinion of those who have talked with him that he is not sound mentally and there is some talk of having him sent to Fergus Falls if possible. Swanland is the confessed murderer of Arvid Vidstrom whom he shot and killed May 12. Dumas May Be Sentenced Here. According to a state law, a judge must give three weeks published no- tice before holding a special term of court. As no such notice has yet been published, it is probable that Dr. Dumas will not be sentenced vntil the latter part of June. Court will| be held in Bagley June 18, and it seems to be the opinion that Judge McClenahan will come over to Be- midji at that time and pass sentence, George H. Spear, of Grand Rapids, is now appearing with counsel for Dr. Dumas. No Move for Nymore. Although a committee was appoint- ed at the last meeting of the council to consult with the Commercial club over the annexation of Nymore, it appears to be the gemneral sentiment that any such movement should come from Nymore rather than Bemidji, and it is probable that the action tak- en by the council will not result in anything definite. Nymore people who have been talked with are of thc opinion that they have little to gain and much to lose by a union with Bemidji as at present they have full control of their own affairs whereas if they were tak- en into. this city, they would have will be presented directly to the elec- tions committee, of which Mr. Knapp is & member. to depend on the action of the coun- BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 6, 1912. bulletin board, by telegraph.

Dr. Charles Henry Mills of the University of Illinois said in his address that more credit be given in college courses for the study of music.

Ground® is being broken for the box factory which will be built on twenty acres between the Bemidji and Crookston mills. The bond issue is date July 1 but it is expected that it will not be called for until about the first of August. The box com- pany has had a crew of men at work for some time hauling slabs from the two mills so that the raw materidl will be on the ground when the fac- tory .is ready. Work will also be started within a week for the laying of & spur to the factory grounds from the M. and I Teddy Has a Dog Song. Chicago, June 6.—Nine members of the clerical staff of the national Roosevelt headquarters, who have ar- jrived in Chicago from New York and Washington, stirred up the “In- dians” in the Congress hotel with a companion ditty to the Democratic houn’ dawg song. They proclaimed it “Teddy’s Bull Dogz,” and sang it on the way from the station. It runs this wny to the tune of “Casey Jones.” L . |Sauare-jawed bull, Teddy’s gotta dawg, but he ain’t no . hound, He's a square-jawed bull and his face " is round; His legs is short and he's close to the .ground; And: you bet they ain’t kickin’ Ted- dy’s dawg around.

WILL PLACE 300 BY JUNE 14 Total Number Must Be Disposed of In One Week to Insure Big . Success. FOR UNIVERSITY ATTRACTIONS > Will Admit to All Evening Entertain- ments—Boy Camp Tents Ordered. { Thirty Bemidji business men have formed a big committee to sell 300 season tickets for University weck by Friday, June 14. To get the week here, it was necessary for the Com- mercial club to guarantee the Uni- versity $300 and the season tickets are being sold to cover this guaran- tee. The committee believes that odd admissions will bring in enough to cover other local expenses. Posters announcing the week in Bemidji have been placed in the towns adjacent to the city and out- siders are already planning to come here that week to take in the enter- tainments. Other posters are being printed which will be vlaced in Be- midji, and a second series for distri- bution through the country to ad- vertise Farmers’ Day, June 19. Each of the committee of thirty has taken ten tickets and will do his best to have them sold by a week from tomorrow. The tickets ‘were dis- itrlbuted this morning and by noon Several reported that they had sold bunches of two and four each In addition to the committee of thirty, season tickets are or sale at the three city drug stores. The tickets sell for one dollar each and admit the bearer to each of the evening entertainments. President George. Edgar Vincent, of the state University, is the headline attraction and is backed up by tife University Glee club assisted by soloists and the University Dramatic club which will present “The Merchant of Venice.” Other evenings will be devoted-to lec- tures, one of which will be a demon- stration of the gyroscope and liquid air. This week, the University group is in the southern part of the state and press notices say that they are meet- ing with warm receptions. Bemidji is one of six towns cn the northern Minnesota circuit and each of.tke en- tertainments will spend one night in each place. By the end of the week, they will have visited - twenty-four towns and it is the endeavor of the Bemidji committee to have them car- ry away the idea that Bemidji is the best town of the twenty-four. Six boys from Shotley have writ- ten to W. B. Stewart saying that they will be in Bemidji that week for the boys camp. This camp is to be pitch- ed at the fair grounds and tenting accommodations were ordered yester- iday for thirty boys. They will have ‘a special program of their own and plenty of time will be allowed for baseball games, hare and hounds, swimming and fishing . There are still room for other boys and they should write Mr. Stewart at once. Swedish School. Mr. Swante Anderson of Augus- tana College, Rock Island, 1., will teach a term of parochial school and- give instructions in Swedish langu- age in the Swedish Lutheran church, corner America avenue and Sixth St. Children are welcomed to attend.
