By CLYDE H. TAVENNER, (Member of Congress.) ‘Washington, April 25.—Senator Robert M. La Follette’s graphy has been issued in book form. 1t is more extended in this form than when it appeared serially in the American magazine. The matter which has been added by the senator is of even more absorbing interest than that which appeared in the mag- azine. Senator La Follette of all the men in the forward movement which has taken hold of the politics of this country has had the hardest fight for recognition within his own party and | has accomplished more in the way of real legislative reform than any other. The heroic struggle which he made and which resulted in the redemption of the government of Wisconsin, is; one of the most instructive, and en-| tertaining chapters in American his- tory. Without reading La Follette’s story of that contest, there can be had no proper conception of the obstacles encountered and overcome . In these days the workings of the system are generally understood and appreciated by the people. La Follette made his battle before the people had awaken- ed to the existence of the system, and ! that he succeeded against the odds which he had to contend with, is suf- ficient warrant for the simple faith in the people which is so characteris- tic of La Follette and so convincingly expressed in his autobiography. The part La Follette has played in the history of the past twenty-five years makes his autobiography a re- cital of something more than the per- sonal experience of the author. It is a moving picture of the great politi-]‘ cal events of the period. No man' who wants to be thoroughly inform- ed with respect to the great move-' ment to bring the government back to the people can afford to pass over the narrative of the Wisconsin senator.! [t is full of information., not only, with respect to the events in whichi he has played a leading part, but also, as to the principles that underlie the, great work which he undertook in_ Wisconsin and is carrying forward in national legislation. Three complete chapters have beeni added to the autobiography in addi-l tion to the material which appeared in magazine form when it was first published. These three chapters deal with the campaign of 1912 and give the history of the betrayal of the Progressive movement within the Re- publican party to satisfy the person- al ambition of Theodore Roosevelt. In connection with the recitation of the inside story of his betrayal by the men who were instrumental in mak-! ing him candidate for the Republican nomination in 1912, Mr. La Follette makes an analysis of Thepdore Roose- velt which will convince any unpre- judiced mind that the latter is not and cannot be a progressive in the sense that Mr. La Follette is. They do not stand for the same things. La Follette shows clearly thel relations which he had with Roose-. velt as president. He does not em- phasize the personal dealings of Mr. Roosevelt, but he shows clearly thati Roosevelt after he had given-his word t pport legislation to provide for thggliphysical valuation of the rail- autobio- Games Yesterday.

JUDGE HOLLAND - DEAD Accidentally Shot Himself in Brain- erd While Examining an Auto- matic Revolver. Brainerd, April 25.—Judge G. W. Holland, of Brainerd, accidentally shot and killed himself in his office here Wednesday. He was shot at 11:20 Wednesday and died at 1:30 the same afternoon, about two hours later. Judge Holland intended driving in- to the country, and he had ordered a rig. Before noon he got his automa- tic revolver to clean’it, as he intend- ed to take the weapon with him when he went driving. In cleaning the weapon it is probable that the mech- anism stuck in some way and five shots were discharged in rapid suc- cession. Two bullets entered Judge Hol- land’s body and one struck just below the heart. Three bullets entered the wall. When A. D. Polk, whose office was next to Judge Holland’s rushed in after hearing the shots, he found the judge lying on the floor groan- ing. Judge Holland said: “I was ex- amining the revolver when it went off accidentally.” 3 Judge Holland was well known throughout the state, and especially in this section. He was judge of the district court of the Fifteenth judic- ial district some fifteen years ago. He had just celebrated his seventy-fourth birthday. Judge Holland was a weal- thy man, owning valuable mining properties around Brainerd. He was rated as a millionaire. Judge Holland was well known in Bemidji as this county is in the Fif- teenth district. HALVERSEN OPENS STUDIO Makes Specialty of Window Trimming Card Wntmg and Decorating. M. A.

B. Lloyd, agent of the Great Northern express company, is in trouble. “Pigs is pigs” he says, “but seven pigs where one grew before ‘is too many for me.” ‘Wednesday night the local office re- ceived a crated sow billed to John {@epst over night and when'the men opehed up Thursday morning, they found six more pigs in the crate. .So Lloyd’s brow has worn a frown for two days. | “Ican’t deliver more pigs,” he says, “than the bill of lading calls for. Nor can I collect for hauling seven pigs when we only hauled one. The inter- state’ commerce commission would have me up for charging for a service not performed, “Any way,” he added, “you never heard of parcels post delivering sev- en pigs where one was billed.” GUNDERSON GETS THIRTY DAYS John Gunderson wag sted yes- terday on a warrant s t by W. G. Schroeder who clai derson had made threat against '%eder's life. He was tried in municipal court this morning before Judge Crowell and was sentenced to thirty days in the county jail as he was unable to furnish a $300 bond. -The trouble seemed to have started over the amount of wages Gunderson received after several months em- ployment on the Schroeder farm. Mr. Schroeder stated in court this morn- ing that an agreement had been reached and the two had parted as friends but later Gunderson became intoxicated and while talking to Hans Sand, a clerk for Schroeder stated that he would take Mr. Schroeder’s life and commit suicide if he did not receive the wages he claimed he had coming. Gunderson appears to have a rather shady record as he has served two years in the St. Cloud reformatory for an offense which he committed in St. Paul. Mr. Schroeder asked the court to place the defendant under a higher bond but as he was unable to secure the $300 it was not raised. “CITY OF BEMIDJI” LAUNCHED “The City of Bemidji” has been launched and made {it’s first trip across Lake Bemidji last night for the mill men but was unable to get close encugh to the dock to allow the mep to board.

THE NEW APPORTIONMEN Beltrami County Put in Sixth District Instead of Eighth as Originally " Planned. Beltrami county is now. in the Sixth Minnesota congressional district in- stead Of the Ninth. The change was!ally is an ultimatum. made during the final session of the legislature when . -the congressional reapportionment bill was passed. The original bill had placed, Beltrami county in the Eighth district. gressman Lindbergh, Republican and a Progressive, of Little Falls, is at| present congressman from the Sixth. Several changes were made during the closing hours of the session. Con- gressmen Davis, Hammond and Stev- ens are the only members of the Min- nesota delegation affected to any ex- tent. Congressman Stevens’ cam- paigns in the future will be easier, as' his political fences are now e(mflne(iI to Ramsey county. Chisago county has; been placed in the new Tenth dist-| rict, while- Washington county is; added to the Third district now rep-, resented by Congressman Davis. Congressman Hammond’s chances may be endangered by the addition to the Second district of two strong Republican counties, Redwood d Lincoln. Senator Clague is supp di to have ambitions to contest the seat | with Hammond. James H. Manahan, congressman- at-large, probably will move to Hen- nepin county, thus becoming a rt}si- dent of the Tenth district. The dist- riets under the bill as passed follow: | First—Same as present First. Second—Present Second, with Red- wood and Lincoln counties added. Third—Present Third, with Wash- ington added. : Fourth—Ramsey county.

London, April 26.—In diplomatic quarters here the belief prevails that Montenegro has been called to ae- count by the powers on the Scutari question and it is reported that Mon- tenegro offered an informal suggest- ion regarding the new frontier line in this district, giving ~heér territorial and extra advantages, incliding the possession of the town of Berdicka and both banks of the Byoana river.

The king made the. statement in the course of a speech, delivered from the balcony of the royal palace: Among the audience were the minis~ ters of the Balkan states, who came to congratulate him.

Rome, April 25.—A very active ex= change of communications between Rome and Vienna over Scutari is ga- ing on. Italy and Austria-Hungary are directly interested in the questiom of the future of Albania.
