HEAVY TOLL ON COSTLY SILKS Are Considered Luxuries by Under- wood, Who is Told That Demand Follows the Fashions, LOW RATES ON NECESSITIES ———— Leaders Believe They Should Be Made Cheap as Possible—Metal Tarifts Up Today. Washington, Jan. 14.—Free rough and dressed lumber, squared timber, shingles, retention’of approximately the present high tariff on the higher|® grades of silk, and reductions in the cheaper silks used by the common|® people, and a pena)lzing drastic tar- iff bar to shut out “dynamite” silks, were indicated"yesterday as parts of | Democrati¢ revision |* the expected program. When hearings on the wood and silk schedules closed, sentiment fav- ored the inclusion of these provisions, possibly together with free meats, in a tentative tariff plan. The ways and means committee will submit this to the extra sesslon of congress. The burden of the testimony on the wood schedile was a plea for the preservation of the present tariff rates, Silks, Involving immense in- terests, presented a ‘complexity of technicalities, perhaps’ greater than any of the other thirteen schedules of the tariff law. Horace Cheney of South Manches- ter, Conn., acted as spokesman of the manufacturers. . He said: - “Silks depend upon fashion. 84 women want anything they will pay the amount they have to, to get it.” Chairman Underwood considers that most silks are a luxury. He said: “We want to get a large amount of revenue on luxuries so we can put less tax on the necessities of life.” The hearing today will be on the metal tariff. M. & . TRAIN RACED MULES FROM BEMIDJI TO FARLEY Tralnmen on the M. & I. road are laughing at the crew in charge of the north bound passenger train last Fri- day night, The train was manned by Engineer Leak, Fireman George Bridgman and Conductor Bush. At North Bemidji a span of mules took the track ahead of the train and in spite of frantic signals from Mr. Bush and rauceous tootings of the engine’s whistle, the mules stayed in this side of Farley. From Bemidji to Turtle River it was a race. In spite of the best ef- forts of Fireman Bridgman, the train could not gain a foot on the fleet- footed sons of Missouri. When the train slowed down for the Turtle River.stop the mules disappeared around the bend in a haze of flying snow. Near Farley the passenger caught up and found them stuck in the bridge. It took the combined efforts of train crew, engine crew and 4 few passengers to get the mules out. Fireman Bridgman said that he hated to run second to a pair of mules. Passengers said that the M. & 1. .reminded them of a-“slow train through Arkansas.” U. C. T. MANAGERS CHANGE DATES OF DANCING PARTIES The committee in charge of the U. C.

R R R R RO R R R R CRORCRORORS TERRIFIC STORM ON ATLANTIC DISABLES STEAMERS WHICH ARE NOW CREEPING INTO NEW YORK BY United Press. New York, Jan. 14.—New tales of the terrific storms that have swept the North Atlantic during the past week reached port today, one brought in_by the battered Cunarder Caronia and another coming by wireless and telling ‘of ~the disablemeint of " tite Hamberg-American freight steamer|Present. Abyssinia, which broke down in mid- ocean and is now being towed to port by the White Star line freighter Armenian. According to the Caronia’s com- mander, Capt. O. C. Rostron, the man who brought the Carpathia to the rescue of the Titanic’s survivors, the voyage just ended was the strongest he ever experienced. . The heavy wind and‘ high seas continued with unabated fury for over two days. The life boat was torn from its moorings and swept far out to sea. The captain ducked just in time to let the heavy boat fly over his head, like an airship. The waves reached such gigantic propor- tions that the decks of the ship were almost continually under water.

About three months ago, the Stephens’ interests gave out that Cashier Muus was to be replaced by a Bemidji man but the change did not materialize. Last week A. D. Stephens and his son, of Crook- ston, visited Bemidji ‘and then went to Little Fork where the bank was inspected. A dispateh from Little Fork last week stated that Mr. Muus would be- come the head of another bank which already has some of ite stock subscribed.

LOSE I7S CHARTER flhteOflcidlMlt!uMndu ‘Send in Two' PéF Cent of Li- cense Money to Fund, BELTRAMI COUNTY IS OUT $100 Has Not Received Its Ten Per Cent Por Two Years, as Only First - Payment Was Made, ONE SALOON IN THE VILLAGE Has Been Opemtmg For Three Years And Furnishes the Only Source Of Revenue. Failure to pay Beltrami county $50 a year for the past two years and the state of Minnesota $10 a year for three years, may result in the passing of Island Lake, a village about thirty miles Jnorth of Bemidjt. The village of Island Lake has been inwrpurnte_d for six years, but In checking up the accounts of Min- nesota villages, Public Examiner Andrew Fritz found that Island Lake had not paid into the state inebricte fund the two per_cent of saloon li- cense money received by hat viliage. As the Hickerson and Dickinson saloon is the only oné operating there the license money has amounted to $500 per year. Since the last trus- tees were elected tliree years _ago, the saloon has paid in $1,600 license money. It is, said thut no inmprove- ments have been made and that the Examiner Fritz and Attorney Geg- eral Smith were in Bemidji Saturday and drove. to Island Lake returning Sunday afternoon. They mage a thorough examination of the rs of ‘the village and at the state capi- tol yesterday announced “that- white the village claimed to-have had an election last fall, the official.returns did not give the village figures. Mr. - Fritz will further examine the vil- General Smith will determine wheth- rights. A state law requires that there be at least 125 persons in a community before a village can be incorporated. it is believed that this.fact will also prove a point against it. Hickerson and Dickinson run the omly saloon there and it is said that one of the lage council. ” The affairs of Hickerson ~and Dickinson have been troubled, for sometime past. Last summer a federal officer caused the arrest of thé men on charges of selling qullor to the Indians of the Red Lake reservation and those cases are still to come be- fore the federal court. Last fall, they were arrested on a charge of selling liquor on Sunday, the charge having been prefered by W. ¥. Dick- eris, agent at Red Lake, The charge" against- Dickinson was dismissed. Hickerson was freed after a jury trial. 2 3 County Auditor George said this" morning that the village had made the payment into the ten per cent fund three years ago when the saloon was first started but that no money had heen received since then. Should the village charter be taken, away the saloon will pass to the control of the county commissfoners. As it has been a sore spot-in the flesh of ‘the administration of the Red.Lake res- ervation, there will probably Be a warm fight before the commissfoners should any attempt be made to re- license the saloon..
