VOLUME 11. NUMBER 24. “B0O-ING” SENATOR OLLIE JAMES FAILS Man From Kentucky Turns Tables on the Republicans in “Haze” Attempt. SOUTHERNER WAS APPLAUDED Shows That He is a Master of Ora- tory and Commands Respect of Senate Body. FOR FREE SUGAR & FREE WOOL Recent Speech Was- Most Notable Delivered on the Floor of the Senate. By Congressman Clyde H .Tavenner. Washington, May 26.—There is a new, commanding figure the United States sesate—a man unafraid a man who cannot be intimidated or browbeaten. He is Ollie M. James, the new senator from Kentucky. Mas- sive of physique, but as tremendous in mentally and courageous as he Is big of bulk, Ollie James, in his recent tariff speech, achieved a great per-| sonal triumph over odds that would have dismayed a man of less bravery. It has not been customary for a senator as new as Ollie M. James to make an extended speech.’ Conse- quently, some of the Republicans at- tempted to “haze” Senator James by booing one of his ringing utterances. The hazers received very much of the worst of the encounter. “1 expected to hear somie hoo-rahs from that side,” James flung back in his booming voice. “The people last fall gave you enough to hold you silent for awhile.” 1 For an instant there was conster- nation at the vigor of the thrust. ‘Then the galleries burst into loud ap- plause, further shattering the sen- ate’s dignity. Red with anger, Sen- ator Gallinger rose and demanded: quiet in the galleries. But the retort “had done its work. The hazers wilted, and not one attempted a reply. Senator James' speech was the most notable one that has been de- livered on the floor of the senate dur- ing the present tariff debate. Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to the presi- dent, sat in the gallery and heard every word of the address. Then he hurried to the White House and with-; in an hour Woodrow Wilson had writ-| ten a personal note to the Kentucky senator congratulating him, Senator James showed that he is a master of oratory. The following were some of his utterances, and the reader can imagine their fire and ef- fect: . “Mr. - President, platforms are a bond of honor. This is a new age. When we find our president, who was elected upon this platform, standing like a stone wall, demanding that it shall be carried out, it is no time for other men to falter. “Our Republican friends passed a bill that in my, judgment was a be- trayal of their promises to the Amer- ican people. If William H. Taft had had one-half the courage possessed by Woodrow Wilson, he would have ve- toed that bill-and bonfires would have burned in his honor upon every hill- top and in every valley in this repub- lic. But he signed it, and the people " called him to account. “We have a president now who writes upon the color lance of the Democratic party: ‘No compromise. I am seeking none: I ask none: I want none. I am for free sugar and| 1 am for free wool.” I stand, Mr. Pesident, for free su- ~‘gar and for free wool. I am prepared to uphold the hands of the greatest president we have had in this repub- He in 50 years, and in my judgment one who has the American peopleI back of him this hour, as no man has since the days of Andrew Jackson.” 21 COTTAGES OCCUPIED- Grand Forks and Minneapolis People Open Summer Homes Here.

HITS DIRTY STORIES & SWEARING Rips Men Up the Back Who Forget Their Marriage Vows—Many Boys in the Audience. PACK HOUSE SUNDAY NIGHT Collect $413 in Subscriptions to De- fray Expenses Incurred Dnnng the Campaign, (By REV- CHARLES CHANDLER.) With his coat and vest off, his col- lar and necktie laid aside and his sleeves rolled up above his elbows, Evangelist 1. E. Honeywell addressed a large number of men and boys at the tabernacle Sunday afterncon. He said, “A man is not and cannot be a MAN, who swears, smokes cigarettes, | tells dirty filthy stories, forgets his marriage vows or drinks. He explained and produced statis- tes, which should convince beyond a doubt the bad effects and results of immorality and personal abuse. With but one or two exceptons every man present expressed himself by rising,‘ that the service was a help and a' benefit and it is predcted that next Sunday’s meeting for men will pack! the tabernacle. 1 Sunday was a full day at the Tabernacle. The: first half of the morning hour service was occupied in raising money for the expenses of the campaign at -which time $413 was subscribed... e 1 The largest lmdience thus far, packed themselves.into the tabernacle for the evening meeting and listened to a clear, logical, scriptural message which pierced the very hearts of men and made them forget Honeywell and think of God and, His Christ and :a coming day .of reckoning and their own relations with it. Mr. Honeywell’s text was “How Shall We Escape. if We Neglect so Great Salvation ” Many realized that there is no escape, that neglect means hell at last, and the guilt of being a Christ rejector now. Twenty-nine came forward and accepted God’s gift of eternal life through Christ. The interest of the public is such that a great meeting and a large crowd is looked for on Tuesday eve- ning. The program for the week is as us- ual except the morning and afternoon meetings will be omitted Friday. On Friday evening the evangelist will deliver his celebrated sermon on “Popular Amusements,” or “Should a Christian Dance, Play Cards and Go to the Theater?” KKK KKK KKK KK KK K> * Prayer Meetings for Tuesday. ¥ % South District—Mrs. Doyle, 212 % Irvine avenue First Distret. — Mrs. Donald, Sixth street between Beltrami and Bemidji.

BLOW OVER HEART DOES IT Arthur Pelkey Arrested By Police and is Charged With Manslaughter —Released on Bail. . TAKEN TO FARGO FOR BURIAL Pugliist’s Widow Doubts Truth o!btlw First Report—Later is Overcome With Grief. Calgary, May 26.—The grena where McCarty was killed Saturday, burned to the ground last night. Cause yet unknown: : Calgary, May 26—A dislocated neck caused the death Samrday of Luther McCarty according to'inform- . - ation given out last hight following the autopsy. It was stated by physicians that- death undoubtedly was caused by dis- located neck as the heart was found to be sound, Calgary, Alta,, May 26.—Luther McCarty, white heavyweight champ- ion pugilist of the world died in the ring here Saturday from a chance blow delivered by Arthur Pelkey somewhere in the region of the solar plexus. The end of the battle came after_one minute and forty-five sec- onds of fighting. Pelkey was arrested by the North- west Mounted Police later in the aft- sineon on the harge ot mansiaugh-- He was too agitated over the tragedy to make a statement. The fight started tamely. There had been one or two mix-ups of an incon- sequential character. Then came a clinch. Referee Eddie Smith separated the men. Both squared off in pugilis- tic attitude, Neither seemed to be the worse for the clinch. Suddenly MecCarty was seen to double up in a crouching attitude. To the spectators it looked as though his ¢rouch was simply a fighting pose. But he continued to go over, his eyes rolling in his head, then he collapsed and fell full length on the floor of the ring. The referee, assuming that he had been knocked out, stood over him to count off the fagal seconds, but it was the final count for the young champ- ion. Mrs. McCarty would not believe at first that the news which came from Calgary was true. It was not until the proprietor of the cafe in which she is employed, received & confirma- tion telegram of the accident. The funeral will probably be held at Fargo, where McCarty has made his home for the past several years and at which place the widow resides.
