The fault, however, was| not tbeirs;” he added, “it was the fault of the system, which for thirty yvears had resulted in no adequate preparation for wars. The brigade commanders in our army in Cuba| hda never seen a brigade in service| since the Civil war, and then they Colonel Roosevelt said the non-| commissioned officers and junior offi-| cers of the line who served in Cuba| were “excellent.” i | i | ARRIVED IN ALBANY SATURDAY Albany, N. Y., Dec. 30.—Tired and footsore, but still enthusiastic and| glorifying in the fact that they reached their destination two days ahead of schedule, the little band of | suffragette pilgrime, who walked 174§ vocating votes for women, arrived in Albany shortly after four o'clock Saturday afternoon. The 174 miles which General Rosalie Jones said was the record shown by the official registers, although railroad maps show soms twenty-five miles less, were covered in twelve days of walk- ing, an average of 14 1-2 miles a day. | Of the six pilgrims who started from New York Dec. 16, five——“Gen-| eral” Jones, “Surgeon General” La-!| vinia Dock; =Colonel” Ida Craft, ~Corporal” M.

Hoyt Slated To Be Next Chief of Police—Four Men to Fight for Municipal Judge. F. M. Malzahn, mayor of Be- midji, stated to the Pioneer at noon today ‘that he would not again be a candidate for the office. Mr. Mal- zahn further stated that he did not know whether Bemidji Socialists planned to place his name on the referendum blanks but intimated that he would not be a candidate un- der any circumstances. " C. B. Hoyt, an insurance’ solicitor of this city, will be chief of police after January 1, according to Mayor Malzahn. Chief Geil becomes coun- ty treasurer at that time and the of- fice will be automatically vacated. Mr. Hoyt is a member of the Social- ist local and has been a resident of Bemidji for several years. From present indications there will be four candidates for the office of municipal = judge at the coming election. It is understood that H. A. Simons, the present holder of the of- fice, will be a candidate for the elec- tion. _ Mr. Simons was appointed by Judge Eberhart when Judge Bailey died. L. G. Pendergast will -~ candidate, H. J. Loud is said to have| stated that he will run, and the Socialists are expected to hold a| referendum on A. M. Crowell and W. M. Webber. BURNQUIST STATES GROUNDS s | Says He is Ready to Keep Faith and Appoint Good Committees. i St. Paul, Dec. 30.—Lieutenant Governor-elect J. A. A. Burnquist of St. Paul Friday issued a statement concerning the proposal to take the committee appointive power in the senate away from the lieutenant gov- ernor and-place:it-in the hands of a committee on committees. The state- ment is his first official utterance since the plan of senate reactionaries was outlined last week. Mr. Burnquist declares that if the state senators deprive him of the power to name committees the re- sponsibility must rest with them and them alone. He says that the people elected him to the office with the un- derstanding that he would appoint the committees. The statement is as follows: “The people of the state elected me to the office of lieutenant governor with the understanding that I should appoint the committees of the senate. During the campaign my speeches were based on that ‘understanding and I am ready to do my duty in that respect. Committees appointed by me would be in accordance with the expectations of the people, and I am anxious to keep faith with them. “The proposition of depriving the presiding officer of the senate of the power of appointment is a matter be- tween the senators and the people. The people have elected a lieutenant governor whose hands are untied, who is free and independent of any interest or clique and who stands ready to appoint as fair and as honest committees as it is possible to ap- point, and solely for the purpose of securing the enactment of laws fav- eloct is expected here Monday.

FOUND TO BE AN OLD OFFENDER Saying that he had just come from a North Dakota farm where he had| murdered his hired man and that hej was a fugitive from jusfice, in need] of immediate help, Ed Burnms, alias| Bailey, alias McCarthy, touched Father Philippe for one dollar Sat- urday and got away before the priest’ became suspicious. { Burns told a harrowing tale. He claimed to have come here from| Fargo via Crookston. He represent-| ed himself as the owner of a farm| twenty-seven miles from Fargo and worth §$50,000. Burns said that he had found his wife and hired man in a compromising position and that he had hit the hired man with a chair and believed he had killed him. He then asked Father Philippe for a blank check claiming that he need- ed money. He also stated that he was! anxious to avoid arrest as his daugh- | ter was engaged to a North Dokato bank cashier. Father Philippe said that he had no blank checks so loan-| ed Burns a dollar. Burns then went down town after making an engage- ment for four o'clock when he was to meet P. J. Russell with Father Philippe. 3 Burns had given references of sev- eral priests in and near Fargo but upon investigation these were found to be unlisted. Father Philippe be- came suspicious and when Burns re- turned in the afternoon he was placed under arrest. He was later recogniezd by Sherm Bailey and P. J. Russell as an old offender. Father Philippe testified in police court this morning and Burns was given ninety days in the county jail after being found guilty of petit larceny. “I didn’t care about the dollar.” said Father Philippe, “but I hated to be hoaxed.” DIXON HELD ON $500 BAIL. David Dixon, brought from Pu- posky about ten days ago on a for- gery charge, is being held in the county jail in lieu of $500 bail. He was arraigned in police court and Mrs. J.

SKATERS START MOVEMENT TO ORGANIZE A POLO TEAM A movement has been started by several young men of this eity to organize a rollor polo team which if carried out will add a new attrac- tion for Bemidji people. The game| is understood by very few people out side of the large cities but is said to be interesting and exciting. If| a team is organized from good skat- ers not employed in the rink a team will also be organized of rink em- ployes and games for the champion- ship of the city will be played. The race Sunday at the rink was’ won by Fach Cochran. Wm. Begs- ley has won three races in the last| three nights but was defeated yes-, terday by Cochran. A race will; probably be pulled off soon between | these two to determine who is the| fastest skater. If a race can be ar-| ranged between older boys it will be pulled off some time this coming week. ICE RINK PETITION DROPPED | The young men who were circu- lating a petition for a new ice rink have dropped the matter. The coun- cil does not meet until next Monday and then if the council did see fit to give the boys a rink it would be so late by the time the rink had been cleared that no more than a week's skating could be had. A petition had been passed around and a large number of Bemidji business men and young people signed and showed con- siderable interest. The council dis- cussed the matter at one meeting but | decided that not enough interest had | been shown so dropped the matter. Who Ever Heard Of A Newspaper Man Possessing $3,000?

FOSSTON WAS DEFEATED Taken Into Camp by Bemidji in First Basketball Game of the Sea- son 22 to 11. GRAND RAPIDS NEXT FRIDAY Bemidji and Fosston clashed Sat- urday night in a basketball game which ‘was- won by Bemidii by a Bcore of 22 to 11. The game was fast from the start and at times ap- peared more like a football game or game. Two Fosston men were slight- 1y injured and were withdrawn from the game. At the end of the first half the score stood 10 to 7 in favor of Bemidji but at no time during the game were the Bemidji boys confi- dent of victory as the Fosston team fought hard and were in excellent form. Only once during the game were the Fosston boys ahead of Bemtdji and then only by three points. It would be difficult to pick stars from either team as every man played his best. Brandon and Peck played fast for Bemidji and more than outpoint- ed their opponents. Brandon shot four field baskets and shot ten out Neuman and Jacob- that got field baskets. L. Rue of Fosston shot two field baskets and Wold shot one. E. Rue made five out of nine fouls. Manager Ryan has scheduled a game with the Grand Rapids city team for next Friday night. The game will be played in the roller Grand Rapids is an old athletic opponent of Be- midji and will probably bring the fastest players in that city. The Be- midji boys are preparing for them by practicing every evening. The lineup of the teams at the Saturday game was as follows: Bemidji. Fosston. Brandon........ F ...... Lars Rue Jacobson. . .

NORRIS OR BURKE WANTED No Names Mentioned But It Is Hoped One of the Governors Will Be Given the Portfolio. Special to The Piomeer. Helena, Mont., Dec. 30.—Believ- ing the liberal and fair treatment accorded settlers and the domestic immigration policy of the Canadian interior depariment, is largely re- sponsible for the exodus of farmers from the United States, tbe North- west Development league over the signatures of its officers, today sent a long telegram to President-elect Wilson urging a western man for the interior portfolio. While mentioning no names, two territory of the lecague have been mentioned for sec- retary of the interior and the league’s telegram to the president- elec: may be taken as an endorse- ment of either Governor Norris of Montana, or Governor Burke of North Dakota. President . c. 5 would not say the league had any- one in mind but simply, “We want a Western man wio ungers[ands Ahe problems of the west—some one Who will, when it ie already within the. governors in the power of the interior department; match the poiicies of a foreign coun- try and help develop and settle our lands.” The telegram follows: “Hon.
