THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER. Historial Soclety ZEgmI VOLUME 11. NUMBER 101 PENROSE URGES AID T0 CITIZENS Peaceful Invasion Of Mexico Propos- ed—Resolution In Senate WANTS AMERICANS PROTECTED Would Appropriate $25,000,000 To Place U. S. Troops Across The Border ‘Washington, Aug. 22.—Senator Pen- rose has introduced a resolution re- quiring President Wilson to take the necessary steps to place United States troops in Mexico to protect American lives and property; such a step to be decreed by the senate as in no way an anfriendly act toward Mexico. Senator Penrose introduced also an amendment to the deficiency bill for an appropriation of $25,000,000 to be expended as the president might direct for the protection of the lives of Americans in Mexico. He made no effort to obtain immediate action upon his resolution and at the sug- gestion of Senator La Follette it wet over a day under the senate rules. The amendment for the emergency appropriation, Senator Penrose ex- plained, was similar to a provision in an appropriation act just prior to the Spanish war and he asked that the amendment lie on the table in the sen- ate until the bill comes over from the house. “The administration has asked for $100,000 to take Americans out of Mexico,” said Senator Penrose after announcing he would not discuss his resolution. *“Rather than appropriate this pittance to make this wholesale removal, I would appropriate this $25,- 000,000 to keep them where they are and to protect them.” Policy s Reaffirmed. The Penrose resolution draws atten- tion to the possibility that continued destruction of property in Mexico would “involve international compli- cations and intervention by Eurépean natlons.” The resolution especially declared that “it is not the policy of the government of-the United States to recognize or assist any faction or factions in the republic of Mexico.” Senator Nelson declared it seemed unwise at this juncture to agitate the question. “Such agitation,” said he, “is an em- barrassment to the president, who is doing everything he can to bring about peace. This resolution should go to the committee on foreign rela- tions and not be used here to exploit speeches of an embarrassing charac- ter to the administration. “Let me cite a bit of history that a few of us well remember. We were very glad during the dark days of the Civil war that no foreign government intervened in our troubles. We wers threatened time and again with inter- ventlon from Germany, France and England. “We agitate intervention and inter- vention means war. We should do everything we can to avbid war and give Mexico the same chance we asked for and were given in the Civil war.” KING AND G305 T ATTACKED Ruler of Roumania and Carmen Sylva Escape Shots of Bandits. London, Aug. 22.—Revolver shots were fired by bandits at King Charles and Queen Elizabeth (Carmen Sylva) of Roumania as they were riding in an automobile near Sinaia, a fashionable health resort of Roumania in the Car: pathian mountains, according to spe- clal dispatches received here. Neither of their majesties were in- jured. . As soon ag the bandits began firing the chauffeur speeded up his machine and succeeded in carrying the king and queen to safety. TWO GOVERNORS ON THE JOB Glynn Occuples New Executive Chamber in New York Capitol. Albany, N. Y. Aug. 22.—When Lieutenant Governor Glynn as acting governor took charge of the new ex- ecutive chambers on the third floor of the capitol building capitol guards “pointed with pride” to New York’s two executive chambers and explain- ed:that “New York is the only state in the Union having two governors.” Downstairs in the old executive chamber Sulzer works early and late and receives visitors cordially. He also receives all mail addressed to the governor of New York. FEDERAL JURIST ACCUSED House Judiciary Committee Consider- ing Speer Case. ‘Washington, Aug. 22.—Charges of misconduct pending against Federal Judge Emory Speer of the Southern district of Georgia are under formal consideration by the house judiciary committee. After a long executive session the committee issued & statement that no action would be taken until further consideration. The charges are said to contain va- rious specific charges, prominent among which are allegations that Judge Speer in handling certain es- tates appointed his son-inlaw ex- ecutor and permitted him to charge #sxorbitant fees. COMMITTEE OPENS ROOMS Preparing Exhibits For State Fair Exhibit Next Door To Crothers Barber shop FARMERS BRINGING IN PRODUCE The state fair committee under the supervision of C. F. Schroeder has opened quarters in the room next to the Crothers barber shop on Beltrami avenue for the purpose of preparing exhibits to be displayed at the State fair. The samples thus prepared will be returned for exhibition at the coun- ty fair to be held here September 10, 11 and 12. Mrs.W. N. Weber is in charge of the rooms and will accept all ex- hibits brought in by the farmers of this county. The committee is par- ticularly anxious to receive a record breaking variety of crops raised in this section and indications point to the best display ever gathered to- gether, SUGGESTS FARMERS CLUBS Believes United Farmers Organiza- tions Could Secure Ready Market For Produce SUBMITS BRIEF COMMUNICATION I G. Haycraft submits the follow- ing communication which may prove a benefit to the farmers and others who are interested in the develop- ment of Northern Minnesota. This is the third communication Mr. Hay- craft has submitted regarding farm development. “Now that Beltrami county has a good crop the question is how to obtain the best market for wheat and other products which the farm- ers have to sell. The farmers have large crops of potatoes which they will undoubtedly ship from Bemidji or other points in the county but many of them are not.aware.of the fact that they could obtain much better markets for their products than they are doing. I suggest that the farmers in every township or- ganize a club and send delegates to the county seat where a Beltrami County Farmers club could be or- ganized. It would be the duty of the delegates to ascertain the amount of produce which their respective townships would have for sale and report the same at a regular meet- ing of the County Club. .In this manner definite and authentic infor- mation could be gained regarding the quantity the different townships are producing. A small subscrip- tion could be collected from the fed- eration of clubs and advertising of the proper sort placed in conspicous places through out the country. “In this manner buyers and deal- ers through out the country who are forced to search out side of their own states for pofatoes will be at- tracted by the superior produce of- fered and we will undoubtedly get their trade if we can show them that we have the goods. “If a ready market can be ob- tained for the entire amount of po- tatoes and other products offered for sale this year the acreage would be doubled next year and disposed of in the same manner. Beltrami County surely produces excellent po- tatoes and would be purchased in preference to many inferior grades which are put on the market.” L R S YOUTHFL LOVERS DIE SUICIDE PACT. Yonkers, N. Y., Aug. 22— Charles Rich, aged nineteen, was found dead and his seven- teen-year-old sweetheart, Ruth Hamilton, was found mortally wounded with evidence that they had agreed to die togeth- er and that Rich had shot her and then killed himself.

SAYS HIS LIFE WAS IN DANGER Kentucky Congressman Tells Of Being Threatened—Favored The Dyer Bill JOHNSON WAS CHAIRMAN Had Measure In Charge And Received Anonymous Letters By The Hundreds ‘Washington, Aug. 22.—That his life had been. threatened because of 'his advocacy of the Dyer bill regulating “loan sharks” in Washington was the sensational charge made to the house lobby investigators by Represcenta- tive Johnson of Kentucky, chairman of the committee that considered the measure, Johnson declared he had received anonymous threats by the hundreds warning him to desist trying to pass the Dyer bill. Many of the threats were not specific, he said, but. all promised he would be made to suffer if he did not quit “bothering” the pawnbrokers and loan sharks. Union labor men and saloon keep- ers—both of which George D. Horn- ing, Washington pawnbroker, swore helped to fight the Dyer loan shark bill—were subpoenaed by the house lobby investigating committee in a final effort to find out just where va- rious defense funds raised by the money lenders went. Fight of National Scope. The committee had devolped the fact that the fight made on’ the Dis- trict of Columbia loan shark bill was not a local, but a national one, and the pawnbrokers and their allies all fought to defeat the bill. Four funds have already been dis- covered and more have been hinted at. The fight included sending Pat- rick J. Ryan, chairman of the legis- lation committee, and Milton Snelling, former president of the central labor union, through the country campaign- ing for congressmen they thought would oppose the Dyer bill. *The expenses, the witness swore, were paid by himself and a saloon keeper. George D. Horning was again on the stand. He was to be followed by Representative Johnson of Kentucky, chairman of the committee that had the bill in charge, and then the pro- cession of saloon keepers and pawn- brokers was scheduled. KILLS HIS TWO ASSAILANTS Governor of Jolo Attacked by Moros and Badly Wounded. Manila, Aug. 22.—Vernon L. Whit ney of Iowa, governor of Jolo, had a narrow escape when attacked treach- erously by Moros. He received five barong wounds, but probably will re- cover. He killed both of his assail- ants after a struggle. Governor Whitney had just com- pleted an inspection of the scout camp at Bual Looc and had sent his inter- preter to order his lunch. The inter- preter was attacked by Moros but es- caped. Whitney heard of the attack and as he ran to investigate he met two Moros who approached in a friend- 1y manner, then suddenly attacked him. Whitney clinched one of the Moros while he shot the other and then, with a struggle, wrested the barong from the other man and fin- ished him with it. During the strug- gle, however, Whitney received bad ‘wounds. FOUR DIE IN THE FLAMES Farmer’s Wife Was Pouring Oil on Stove When Explosion Came.

Thaw was made by telegraph upon the Canadian immigration authorities here by acting Governor Glynn of New York. The department replied that it would take no action till the present extradition proceed- ings should be concluded. The department let it be known that it would seize Thaw and attempt to deport him should his extradition to the United States be refused by the Dominion courts. &= R R T R oo ofe ofe e oo e b ol b o e b ke * drllh kel ok ko o e Sherbrooke, Que., Aug. 22.—Lawyers for Harry K. Thaw, fencing for po- sition in his fight to resist deporta- tion to the United States after his flight from Matteawan, won an ad- vantage in Sherbrooke by delaying his appearance in the superior court on a writ of habeas corpus. Dominion immigration officials, and with them the district attorney and sheriff of Dutchess county, N. Y., had in court, discharged on the present defective commitment and thus. al- lowed to fall into their hands for de- portation. Thaw’s lawyers, however, believing in the advantages of delay, declined tq serve their writ on the jailor, or as locally known, “the governor of the prison,” and Thaw remained in his hospital ward cell chatting with his brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. George Lauder Carnegie. Lawyers Are Upheld. Superior Judge - Globensky was sought by the immigration officials and the officers from New York to in- slst ou the service of the writ, osten- sibly returnable forthwith, but the court held that Thaw’s lawyers were within their rights. There were no court proceedings during the forenoon, although towns- people jammed the courtroom. Thaw’s battery of lawyers, victorious so far in the strange procedure of keeping their client in jail, agreed to an- nounce later what disposition they purposed to make of their idle writ. If they still persist in not serving it, the immigration authorities planned to have the writ declared void and insist on Thaw's arraignment at, once. The case has reached a stage where the usual relations of the par- ties to a criminal action are abso- lutely reversed. On the one hand, the lawyers for the prisoner are fighting hard to prolong his imprison- ment, while the authorities, local, Dominion and United States, were anx- jous to have him set free, safe in the belief that the immigration officials would seize him and force him across the frontler.
