NUMBER 136 BEMIDJT, MINNESOTA, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 3, 1013, 1 THURSDAY OCTOBER 2, 1913 SULZER DEFENSE PLANS COMPLETE Taking Of Testimony In New York Tmpeachment Case To Begin Early Next Week RETAINED FOR REBUTTAL Progecution Said To Have Held Num- ber Of Best Witnesses To “Rid- dle” Tale Of Governor New York, Oct. 3.—The Sulzer de- femse plans are complete. With an seray of notable witnesses, including #he governor and his wife, Louis A. Sacecky, Johm A. Hennessy, Com- mamder Josephthal and at least three others the defense counted on com- plete rebuttal of the evidence of the wresecution. D. Cady Herrick, chief Sulzer coun- sel, felt confident that the court must scgalt his client. His views were con- ewrved in by his chief associate, Har- ry D. Hinman. The case on the part of the state was woefully weak, they elaimed. The prosecution insists that its espe is complete, but no attempt is made to conceal the fact that several of what are considered the best wit- messes were retained for rebuttal. They are the men who are expected to riddle the story the governor and Mrs. Sulzer will tell on the witness stand. It is generally expected on both sides that the defense will not call amy of its star witnesses until next Monday. The plan is to argue the poiats one day, devote most of an- other to Hinman's opening and out- Mme of the governor’s case and pos- sibly to calling a few preliminary witnesses to lay the groundwork for the big star act next week. It is understood Sulzer. planned to admit the use of campalgn funds-for M8 own personal account. He will elaim he was hopelessly in debt and was being press d by creditors. Frieads told him they wanted to aid him. He accepted such money as personal gifts and tried to arrange Ms business so that after he became governor he would be obligated to no one. His story, it is claimed by his law- yers, will be extremely sensational and will recite alleged efforts made to influence his actions after becom- ¥ag governor. How far the state will allow him to proceed along this line 1s problematical. It Is expected the lmpeachment managers will object to hlm departing from the recognized rule affecting witnesses and there are expected to be some exciting elaghes, as Sulzer, himself a lawyer, 18 expected to insist on what he will cflaim his inst rights. Swinson Gets Small Verdict Thomas Swinson was given a ver- dict of $67.52 in his action against Nurse Smith to collect $487 for what he claimed was due him because of contract work done by him for the Samaritan hospital. The jury brough in the verdict last evening, the argu- ments in the case being made before supper and the charge of Judge Cro- well being made immediately fol- lowing. D. H. Fisk represented the plaintiff while George Campbell ap- peared for the defendant. McAlpine Here William McAlpine of Grand Rap- ids is in Bemidji today on business, Mr. McAlpine was at on time a star end on Grand Rapids football teams and played in the game of 1908 when Bemidji captured the championship in a hard fought 12 to 6 contest. He leaves for Walker this avening. R TO HEAR TALKS ON FIRE < PREVENTION.

It now behooves all those with an income of more than $3,000 a year tc! try to find out how they are going to pay the income tax to the government and what will happen to them if they fail.

BRING LARGE HERD HERE Calidonia Mani Believes Tis Country Good for Stock Raising and ‘Will Bring Herfords. TO ARRIVE WITH FAMILY SOON The big Sibley farm north of Sol - way was recently sold to Emil Twee- ton, of Calidonia, Minnesota, who expects to take possession in about two weeks. The deal was closed by Nels L. Bye of Solway who is fast forging to the front as one of the live realestate dealers in this section of the country. Mr. Tweeton has a family of three children and wife and Solway farm- ers are pleased to welcome them into their community. He will bring with him a fine herd of white Her- ford cattle and expects to enlarge in the stock raising business. The farm comprises 240 acres which includes some of the best hay meadow in this vicinity and has in the past been a splendid chicken hunting grounds for Bemidji sports- men.

MAKE GOOD RECORD Superintendent Meets Little Opposi- tion. From Parents In Refusing To Send Children to School - NO TRUANT OFFICER AS YET State Gom.miuionef Houck Sends Qut. Extracts 0f Law In Regard To Ages' Pupils Must Attend \ While most schools of the state are bothered to a large extent by truante who insist on remnlnins out of school, such i8 not the case. in the schools of this city, according to Superintendent ' W. P. Dyer. In former yedrs the Bemidji school board has. put a truant . officer in the field four months, these be- ing September and October in the fall and April and -May in the spring, these months seemingly be- ing the ones in which most childrem find more 'enjoyment out ‘‘of the class room. This year however the board has not seen ‘fit to appoint a man. The salary usually paid is $40 a month. Some action may be taken at the next meeting of.the schaol board. . 4 Mr. Dyer says that what-trdh,b‘le there is in Bemidji in making”chil- dren attend .school. “ usually comes from the same families each year. According to law the Bemidji pub~ lic' schools have a census which s constantly kept up to date. This cen- sus was made two years ago by Paul Shannon and includes the name of every child, his _age, birth and birth place. It also includes = the name-of his parents. By using this’ .guide” the superintendent is able to ascertain just who is not, and who should attend school. For the .benefit of any who may not know what the school law is cons cerning the compulsory attendange of children under 16 years of age, we offer- below a“fem.extracts from the revised laws recently received, from W. F. Houck, state commissioner of labor: 4 All children under 16 years of age are required to attend school during the entire school term unless they have completed the 8th grade. Penalty for violations: Whoever employs a.child under 16 years of age and whoever permits a child under his control to be employed in violation of the school - attendance law shall for such offense be fined 'not less than $25 and whoever con- tinues to employ any child in viola- tion of this act after being notified by a truant officer shall for every day thereafter that such employment continues be fined not less than $5 for each day.” All parents who have children of school age who have not as yet re- ported to schools are notified of the provisions of the above law and, should comply with the same before it becomes necessary for" a turant officer to serve his legal notice.
