WILL VOTE AGAIN TODAY Measure ’Scheduled To Be Shorn of Proposed Seven Year Civil Service Term. REPUBLICANS ARE INSURGENT ‘Twelve Stay With the Democrats on the Measure—May Kill Com- mon Court. i < Washington, Aug. 16. — House Democratic leaders failed yesterday in the third successive effort to over- ride the president when they sought to pass the legislative, executive and judicial bill over Taft's veto. The vote 158 to 107 was twenty short of the required two-thirds voting. Asa result the bill will be taken in hand today and shorn of the provision to which the president objected. fixing? a seven-year tenure for government employes under the civil service, and send it on its way again. Another feature to which the presi- dent objected, the abolition of the commerce court will be left in the measure but the temper of the sen- ate on this program is yet to be as- certained. It is acknowledged at both ends of the capitol that there is strong senti- ment against continuance of the court, and objection by the senate for this reason is not expected. So strong is the sentiment against the tribunal | that leaders of both senate and house believe if the president vetoes the bill as changed it can be passed over his objection. Eighteen Democrats de- serted their party on the roll call while twelve “insurgent” Republi- cans voted with the majority. The Democrats were: Allen, Sharp | Curley, Murray, Peters and Thayer, | and Whitaker, Qhio; Brandtley, Gay. Massachusetts; Donahue, Pennsylva- | Hammil, Kinlaid, McCoy, New Levy, Sulzer, Talcott, New Lorbreck, Nebraska; O’Shaugh- ensey, Rhode Island, Riley, Connec- ticut. The Republicans who remained with the Democrats on the vote and who have voted roll calls were: An- derson, Lindbergh, Davis, Minnesota; Good, Green, Haugen, Pickett, Ken- dall. Jowa; French, Idaho; Jackson and Young. Kansas; LaFollette, Wis- consin; Morse, Washington. A LATEST FROM BLACKDUCK. Mr. and Mrs. N. H.

MAY FREE KATE EDWARDS Reading, Pa,, Aug. 16.—Freedom is believed to be in sight for Mrs. Kate Edwards, the most remarkable woman prisoner in the United States. For eleven years the woman has been confined in the Berks county jail un- der sentence of death. Once a gal- lows was erected where she could see it from her window. Then came a reprieve, which reached the jail while a minister was administering the last rites to the condemned wom- an. Since that time three governors of Pennsylvania have declined to sign the death warrant, and now her case is to be brought before the board of pardons with the probable result, it is believed, that she will be given her freedom. Mrs. Edwards and a negro named Gleason were arrested for the murder of the woman’s husband. The negro was a paramour of the woman and the husband declared he would kill her. In fear of her life, Mrs. Ed- wards killed her husband one night and threw his body into a well. On a second trial Gleasen was acquitted, but the woman was convicted and sentenced to be hanged. Mrs. Edward came to prison vie- ious to the last degree, a drunkard, unkempt, desperate and intractable. She was like a wild beast. Good women and patient ministers worked years to reform her. The success of their efforts has been nothing less than marvelous. Today the woman possesses a very fair education, is an adept at needle work, extremely neat in her personal appearance and deep- Iy religious in her nature. SNIFFERS FIND RELIEF. Absence of Rag Weed in Minnesota Helps Hay Fever Sufferers. St. Paul, Aug. 16.—(Special to the Pioneer)—There are thousands of men and twomen who look at the third week of August with terror and realization that there is no escape for them except to flee their native habi- tat. Hay fever is no respecter of per- sons and if the lining of the nose is| in a proper condition for the tickling effect of the pollen of weeds the suf- ferer can only seek another locality. The open season for hay feverites has begun in Minnesota and every day sees thousands of sufferers with pockets-full of handkerchiefs travel- ing North. A night’s ride from the Towa line brings relief as suddenly as the trouble came. “Hay fever is caused by the pollen of rag weeds and Golden Rod,” said Dr. Howard Lancaster, St. Paul's commissioner of health. “In the Northern part of Minnesota there are large areas where this weed is total- 1y unknown and there is no hay fev- er.” The large bodies of water in Min- nesota tend largely to diminish the weed crop, and as there are 10,000 lakes in this state, the help for pa-| tients is great. In fact the state is rapidly becoming known as a resort for all who have hay fever and asth- GENERAL BOOTH IS SINKING By United Press. ‘ London, August 16.—The gravest anxiety was felt today for Gen.

FIRST VIRGINIA WOMAN EXECUTED —_— Virginia Christian Electrocuted This Morning for Murder of Her Employer. By United Press. Richmond, Va., Aug. 16.—Virginia Christiait, a negro girl, was electro- cuted here this morning. She had been tried and convicted of the mur- der of her employer, Mrs. lda Be- lette. She was the first woman to be executed in the state of Virginia. Virginia Christian was seventeen years old and was shocked to death in the chair which recently was used to kill Henry Clay Beattie, Jr. She was led to the chair shortly after dawn this morning and was pro- mounced dead after the second ap- plication of the current. The approach of death did mnot change the attitude of sullen and un- concerned stolidngss which belonged to the girl since her conviction. All efforts to arouse some manifestation of conscience in her met with no re- sponse and she accepted administra- tions without emotion. Governor Mann made it plain yes- terday that he would not interfere with the execution and it was car- ried out this morning as planned. IS HEADED THIS WAY Duluth, Aug. 16.—The police have been notified that “Lefty Louie,” wanted in connection with the'Ros- enthal murder in New York, is re- ported to be on board the steamer Tionosta of the Anchor line, bound for this port. The vessel is now some- where east of Soo, and is expected to reach her dock Saturday morning. “Lefty Louie” is supposed to have boarded the vessel at Erie, Pa., with an unidentified companion. Dispatches to the police from Erie tonight say “Lefty Louie” slipped by the police there, and accompanied by a woman supposed to be “Gyp, the Blood,” disguised, boarded the steam- er. GOODWIN NEAR DEATH, Thrown on the Rocks in Stormy Sea for Sake of Woman. Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 16.—Nat C. Goodwin, actor, was seriously and probably fatally injured about noon at Rocky Point, twelve miles south of Hueneme, by first being thrown from a skiff on the rocks by break- ers, and then by being struck by the boat itself as it was dashed ashore. At the hogpital tonight Goodwin’s condition was said to be grave. His injuries were suffered while he was attempting to reach shore from a launch in a row boat on an érrand in response to a request of a' woman companion. The captain of the launch had refused to attempt to reach shore because of roughness of —- (Copyrigl GIVE AWAY DOUGHNUTS Model Manufacturing Company Plant Will Be Opened for Inspection Saturday Afternoon, NEW MACHINES INSTALLED In order that his plant may become better known to Bemidji people and that they may apprgeiate its clean- liness, Frank:Koors, meftager of the Model Manufacturing company, will throw the plant open to the public tomorrow afternoon from 2 until 9. tors will be presented with doughnuts, fresh and hot from the ovens, and new candies. Since Mr. Koors bought out the W. A. McDonald interests in the com- pany,. the plant has undergone sev- eral changes. A general houseclean- ing resulted in everything now be- ing made under sanitary.conditions and the kitchens present as neat an appearance as those of the most par- ticular housewives in the city. One of the new machines recently purchased by the company is a bread mixer, which mixes a batch of 1,000 loaves at a time. This work form- erly took two men several hours a day but with the machine, the work is turned out in less time and it has the added advantage of doing away with the necessity of having any hands working in: the dough. The machine gives the bread an even tex- ture. = Bread, and other such stuffs, are baked in large pans which are set in a brick oven, heated to the right temperature. As soon ag the bread comes from the oven, it is wrapped in waxed paper and is not touched by any hands until opened by the con- sumer. Other bread stuffs, such: as doughnuts, buns, rollers, etc., are placed on long racks until cooled and then put-in glass cases until taken away by the customers. A machine which automatically cuts doughnuts was added to the equipment of the plant a few weeks ago. The dough is fed in through the top and as fast as a2 man-can turn the crank, a perfect doughnut is dropped onto the pan below. This machine not only saves time but does away with much handling of the dough which was formerly necessary. In the ice cream department, a ten gallon ice cream mixer has been in- stalled to replace . the apparatus formerly used. The new machine is cooled by a current of water auto- ma. the breakers. | (Continued on lsst page.)

Girls, Make Stubborn Fight For Sen- timent Against Business, Kansas City, Aug. 16.—Word that the house Indian affairs committee had reported the bill prohibiting the removal of the Huron cemetery in Kansas City, Kan., is the first encour- agement in several years that has come to three sisters, Misses Conley, descendants of the once powerful Wyandotte tribe in their fight to pre- vent what they term a desecration of the graveg of their ancestors. When it was announced several years ago that the old Indian burying ground, now one of the most valuable pieces of property in Kansas City, Kan., was to be sold to make way for twentieth century improvements, the sisters objected. When they saw that the order to vacate the burying ground would be carried out, one of the sisters, Miss Lydia Conley, studied law and was admitted to the bar to fight the sale in the court. She appeared before the supreme court of the United States in her effort to have the order re- scinded, but failed. Then the sisters erected a fort in the center of the cemetery and for three years guarded it with shotguns. The ground was given to the Wy- andotte Indians in the early fifties when it was not worth a good pony. The deed declared that “as long as grass grows and water runs tiis spot shall be used as a burying ground for the Wyandotte Indians.” U eAUZATION.

HAS THREE MEMORIAL WINDOWS Two Showing St. Agnes and the Lamb and the “Good Samaritan” are In Position, NATIVE WOODS ON THE INSIDE Have Been Stained to Bring Out The Grain and @ive Appearance of Golden Oak. Formal services of dedication will be held in St. Bartholomew’s church Sunday morning at 10:30 a. m. For some time past the congregation has been using the basement for services but the superstructure has been so far completed that beginning Sun- day, the entire building will be used. Three years ago, the first stone of the foundation was laid but owing to lack of funds the building was not completed and services have been heid in the basement until the pres- ent time. Last fall, work was started on the superstructure and the build- ing is now sufficiently completed for services. - The basement of the chureh is di- vided into a large class room, a fur- nace room, a library, and a room to be ultimately finished off and fur- nished for a church kitchen. The see- ond floor of the church is divided in- to a chancel, nave, sacristy, vestry and vestibule. .- Outside, the building is finished in stueco which with an old English design in shape and shingled roofs gives the building a unique appear- ance. Inside, the building is finish- ed with native woods which are stained in a way that brings out the grain and gives a golden oak finish. The roof is supported by trusses of heavy beams and these are finished in the same style. Three memorial windows have been given to the church and two are in place. A figure of St. Agnes shep- herding the Lamb was presented by the Guild of St. Agnes, a band of young ladies who have worked un- der the direction of Miss Capitola Stewart. The second window in place is “The Good Samaritan” and Was presented by the Bemidji coun- cil 513 United Commercial Travelers. The window which has not yet ar- rived was presented in memory of the late Mr. Street. The light in the church is subdued and will lend much to the spirit of worship. Rev. E. S. Murphy will preach on §unday morning. Reverend Murphy is .now stationed in Grand Rapids but was the first minister to hold Episcopal services in Bemidji. The menbers of the church have extend- ed an invitation to all who wish to attend the services Sunday and it is expected that the congregation will tax the capacity of the structure. Rev. H. F. Parshall, of Cass Lake, has had direct charge of the build- ing of the church and members say that it is largely due to his untiring efforts that the building stands as it i8 today. Reverend Parshall is arch- deacon of the diocese of Duluth and although residing in Cass Lake has number of young people who are spending the summer at lake points are also expected in for the party. Dancing will begin shortly after the band concert. The Cubs miss Mordecai Brown on their present Eastern invasion. This is the first trip the three-fingered star has missed in many moons.
