BOARD'S ORDER IS OVERRULED Mrs: Pankhursh Allowed To Enter United States—Admitted On Her Own Recognisance TWO WAYS TO SEND HER BACX “Courts May Pass On Her Acts, Or We May Deport Her,” Says President Wilson Washington, Oct. 21.—Mrs. Emme- ‘line Pankhurst, the militant British gultragist, is free to enter the United Btates. The Ellis Island board’s order of de- portation was reversed after Presi- dent Wilson had conferred on the cuse with Secretary Wilson and a hearing had been concluded Dbefore Immigration Commissioner Caminetti. Secretary Wilson announced at the conclusion of his conference with the president that Mrs. Pankhurst would be admitted upon her own recogniz- ance, with the understanding that she would depart at the end of her lec- ture engagenient. No bond was exact- ed. Secretary Wilson declared that he and the president had discussed the question bricfly. “We agreed,” he said, “that Mrs. Pankhurst should be admitted on her own recognizance. My own reason is, and the president feels likewise, that there is naturally an element of doubt as to whether her acts constituted moral terpitude or were political in character. No Harm in Ad.aitting, “Being admitted on her own recog- nizance, of course, if she violates any of our laws, we have two remedies. Our courts may pass on her acts or we may deport her. There being the element of doubt to whether moral turpitude or political offense was in- volved we decided that we have suffi. cient safeguurds and that there is no harm in adinitting her.” The decision by the president and Secretary \ilson was communicated to Commissioner eneral Caminetti, who issued the formal order. of re- lease. ) President Wilson felt that the law had a flexible interpretation, so that it was largely a question of policy. Commissione Caminetti's deciston was in strict accordance with the views of Piesident Wilson and the secretary of labor. Mr. Camaetti filed a brief memo- randut re commending Mrs. Pank- hurst’s on on her own recog- nizance, and announced that he would later file his reasons in writing. New York, Oct. 21. Pankhurst left B to New Y rs. Emmeline is Island and came ortly after 1 p. m. A motor of Mis. 0. H. P. Belmont, suf- frage lead met her at the pier and she was driven to Mrs. Belmont’s home.

It For Someone Instead Of Going To School—Lo- cated Last Night By Police TAKEN OFF TRAIN AT BISMARCK Relatives of Miss Ethel Smiley of Mill Park notified Bemidji authori- ties late last evening that the girl had not returned home from school and the assistance of the police was abouts. e Relatives believed the girl had left for Glendive, Montana, where her father is now located. Roscoe Smiley, a brother of the missing girl phoned to Grand Forks last evening and asked authorities of that city to search the west bound passenger. No trace of the girl could be found in that city and not until a brother of the girl communicated with R. E. Fisher, depot agent at the Union depot could a trace be found. Authorities at Bismarck, North Dakota were wired by Chief Lane and the Northern Pacific passenger was searched wren passing through that city. Miss Smiley was found and taken from the train and is now be- ing held until the arrival of Bemidji relatives.

In past years, in: fact since the tank was first built; it has been cleaned in the spring.’ The sugges- tion was made that it be cleaned this fall, and in this manner avold a larger expense in- the ' spring. It was found, whoever,” that to clean it now would cost as much as in the spring, and that the resnlt would Ye that the year’s ‘cost of cleaning would be just double;. ¢ Thomas Swensin, ‘city was present at the meeting and startled the aldermen at suggesting the building of a new: plant, recom- mending the structure at Blackduck as an example of a tank which would be serviceable in Bemidji. The aldermen referred to the Blackduck plant as nothing ~mere than ‘an” experiment “Fad - sait: that Bemidjl had been “stung” by- the building of the tank now here. and appeared to feel that plenty of time. to inyestigate should be taken be- fore another plant be installed. Engineer Swensin’s idea was that a new tank could be obtained for what it is now costing the city for cleaning. The new tank to be self cleaning.

McClennahan, of Brainerd was in Bemidji last even- ing enroute to Bagley where today he opened the October term-of court for Clearwater county.

SCAR DISCLOSES IDENTITY Man Found At Soo Depot Is Son Of €. L: Bell, Sioux Falls, South Dakota - Man BODY SHIPPED THERE TODAY A scar extending from the el- bow to-the shoulder of the lef arm, was the stepping stone which proved the identity of Clare Bell, the young man found dead Sunday morning under the platform of the Soo freight depot. In a time book which Bell carried was found a slip of paper on which the following was written, “Clare Bell' Sloux Falls, South Dakota, i8 my address” This proved the clue which led to the discovery of the dead man’s identity. Following the Coroner Ibertson telegraphed the Sioux Falls chief of police with the 'Tesult that a message was soon re- ceived from C. J. Bell, the father. In this message was the réquest to ship the body to the boys home city, and gave also the information that if the body was that of Clare Bell the left arm would-bear a bad scar. = The body was '’ shipped to..Sfoux Falls by Mr. Ibertson this afternoon. 1t was first believed-Bell had been dead-since Friday night, but infor- mation from Blackduck says that on that day a man by the name of Clare Bell was arrested there for beating 'his way on a freight. This would make it appear that Bell dled some time Saturday. Death is believ- ed to have been caused by exposure.

By uHO n Judge MoClennahan Opened Short - | % Pioneer last evening: £l ¥ ] R K Rk R KRR MAY POSTPONE SPECIAL ELECTION Members 0f City Council Appear To Be in Favor Of Holding Charter Vote During February. SEVERAL DOUBT ITS PASSAGE Wm Await Return 0f Mayor Before Taking Action—Sleigh For Fire Department Citizens of the City of Bemidjl may not have an opportunity of voting on the ‘proposed new charter during November, as has been supposed since the announcement of Cuaig a week ago. Mayor Me- At last evening’s session of the concil P. J. Russell, city attorney, called the attention of the alderman to the fact that judges for the spee- fal charter election should be named as soon as possible in order that it might be held some time during next month, The suggestion of the city attor- ney started something. Several were of the opinion that it would be an absolute waste of money to hold a special election when it would be just as'well to wait until the spring elec- tion to vote on the matter. The fact that to hold a special election prove a large expense was brought forth, and a couple of the members went so far as to prediet that the measure would not carry when It did come up. “I am in favor of putting the elec- tion off until next spring,” sald Ald- erman Bislar, of the third ward. “I have heard much against the char- ter and nothing for it, and if it is likely to fail why not put it off un- til February and in that way avoid the extra expense.” No final action was taken and the return of the mayor will probably throw ‘added light on the matter. As another ‘meeting of .the council will not be held until November third, and it will be at least twenty days after the judges are named the election can be held, and an addition- al ten days may be added for the published notices, although the ten days can be included in the original twenty, a vote on the charter can- not be held until about the first of December. The action of the council in not naming judges is causing much dis- cussion in business circles of the city, and many have expressed the opinion that the election should be held as soon as possible. George Stein, city clerk was in- structed to advertise for bidson a sleigh for the fire department. The sleigh wil be purchased in order that the heavy wagon, which is carriesd over the icy ground during the win- ter months with difficulty, may be abandoned.
