SCHOOL ELECTION SATURDAY NIGHT Dr. E. H. Smith and Dr. E. H. Mar- Marcum Announce as Candidates For Re-election. NO OPPOSITION IS APPARENT Mrs. T. J. Andrews Has Refused to Allow Consideration of Her Name —Mrs. Rogers Not Active. WOMEN MAY VOTE Under Present State Laws, Have Same Rights as Men in Educa- tional Matters. Dr. E. H. Marcum and Dr. E. H -Smith, both members of the school board for the past six years, will be candidates again this year and will be voted upon next Saturday night. Both of the doctors wish to retire from the board but at the insistence of their friends are allowing their names to go before the people again. The election will be held in the Central school building at 7 p. m. Saturday evening. Under the pres- ent state law, all citizens can vote on have the same privileges as the men but must school matters. Women be over twenty-one years of age, the|, eighteen year age rule not holding in this case. Women also have the right to places on school boards. Vot- ers must have lived in the state six months and the precinct thirty days | Mrs, T. J. Andrews| . Two women, and Mrs. Gertrude Rogers, have been spoken of as candidates for positions on the board. Mrs. Andrews has flatly refused to allow her name to be cousidered and Mrs. Rogers has not become an active candidate. At the present time, it would appear that there will be practically no opposi- tion to the re-elections of Drs. Mar- cum and Smith. In discussing the situation this morning. a- prominent business man said, “The two doctors are both ex- cellently qualified for positions on the board. They are well educated good students, are up on methods and h long enough to be of real service now. Both are men whose business Wwill not allow them to serve the pub- lic in many capacities and I believe that they should be unanimously re- elected. They have given good ser- modern vice and it would be hard to find two persons better spects.” J. P. Lahr, clerk of the board, will | conduct the election. qunalified in all re- Farris Men Elected.

DRASTIC RULES FOR PUBLIC SHOWS Ordinances Introduced In Council Meeting Last Night Aimed to Cor- rect Existing Abuses, CALLS FOR SUNDAY CLOSING Theaters, Moving Picture Shows and Dance Halls Must Not Operate On the Sabbath. GUNSALUS LICENSE ATTACKED Charges Filed That He has Been a Violator of Laws and Not Fit to Run a Saloon. Calling for the closing on Sunday of all moving picture shows, theaters, dance halls, and other places of pub- lic amusement to which an admission fee is charged, an ordinance to regu- late the theater, moving picture and dance hall business in Bemidji was ‘introduced into the council Monday night. . The ordinance is drastic and was drawn by City Attorney Russell with a view of correcting existing abuses Which have grown up in connection with these amusements. If passed, the ordinance will prohibit the show- ing of any moving pictures, of any prize fight, or boxing match, or any lewd, immoral or suggestive pictures or play or scene. It will also prohibit Ppictures of stage coach hold-ups or the pursuit or capture of robbers, A section of the ordinance provides that girls under the age of sixteen shall not be allowed to attend dances under any circumstances, nor if she is between the ages of sixteen and eighteen unless accompanied by a Darent or older member of the family, or a male escort of known good mora] character. The turkey trot, bunny hug, grizzly bear and other indecent dances are flatly prohibited. Failure to observe the ordinance and convic- tion will carry a fine of not more than $100 nor more than sixty days in the county jail. E. W. Hannah came out flatly against the provision calling for the closing of theaters and other amuse- ments on Sunday and suggested that the ordinance be made over into two, one regulating dance halls and one moving pictures. The suggestion did not meet with the approval of the other members as it was learned that amendments would accomplish the same purposes. It seemed to be the general opinion of the council mem- bers that such an ordinance is needed in Bemidji. Gunsalus License Attacked. Presenting a complaint charging Harry Gunsalus with selling liquor to Indians, keeping open on Sunday, selling to minors, habitual drunkards, and otherwise violating state and city laws, D. H. Fisk, as attorney for Wil- liam Begsley, asked that no action be taken in the application of Gunsalus for a transfer of liquor license until the matter was settled. The council decided to lay ‘the application on the table until the next meeting. The charges against Gunsalus are that on January 2, 1912, he sold and delivered liquor to John C. Rogers, an Indian, and received payment- therefor; and that on June 8, 1912, he again sold liquor to the same said Rogers. The complaint was accom- Panied by affidavits from Rogers stat- ing that he was an Indian and that he had received the liquor as stated, in the complaint. The complaint fur- ther alleged that Gunsalus was unfit to engage in the saloon business and asked that his license be revoked. “Begsley is no better than the In- dian that got that liquor,” said Tom Smart. “He was sued on a note and is. just trying to get even.” Mr. Smart’s statement started a discus- sion which ended by the laying on the table of the application for trans- fer. It appeared to be the opinion of the council that the charges should be investigated by the mayor and Gunsalus’ name either cleared or his license revoked. Boat Houses to Be Regulated. An ordinance was intorduced which if passed will limit the build- ing of boat houses to the shore south of Fourth street and north of Fif- teenth street. It also provides that boat houses that are now in the for- bidden territory shall be moved if men and women to be pastors, assist- ants, home or forelgn missic rles, S vacant at the time of the passage of {Continued on last 5
