VOLUME 11. 152 TAFT EULOGIST OF CLEVELAN Former President Makes Address At Princeton—Many Notables Were Present At Dedication FOREIGN EDUCATORS ATTEND Present At Ceremonies In Connection With Memorial To Former Demo- cratic Occupant Of White House Princetan, N. J.,, Oct. 28.—Tribute to the memory of the late President Grover Cleveland, made by former President Taft, marked the dedica- tion of Princeton university’s gradu- ate college and the Grover Cleveland memorial tower. The exercises were conducted in the presence of a dis- tinguished company of learned men from Europe and America. Gifts amounting to $2,850,000 for the erection and endowment of the college enabled Princeton to realize an {dea conceived twenty years ago, the housing of graduate study in a body. The tower was presented to the university by the Cleveland Monu- ment association, which received gifts tor the memorial fund from all over the United States. The exercises were held in the quadrangle formed by the walls of the graduate college, a quarter of a mile southeast of the main campus. President Hibben of Princeton pre-| sided and about him were former President William H. Taft, who de- livered the memorial address on Qrover Cleveland; representatives of practically all of the universities and colleges in the United States and Oanada; hundreds of alumni and delegates' from English, German and French universities. The presentation to the university of the Cleveland memorial tower was made by Richard V. Lindabury, pres- ident of the Cleveland Memorial as- sociation, who sald the funds for the memorial were contributed by men of all parties and in all walks and oonditions of life. Former President Taft's estimate of Grover Cleveland, as expressed in his oration, was as follows: “Mr. Cleveland was not a great law- yer; he was not a great economist; but he was a great president and a sreat man, and he was these because of the strong mind, clear intelligence and wide knowledge of affairs. He had the character, honesty, courage and sense of public duty which en- abled him to meet great and critical issues without regard to personal constquences.” PRESSSEE TROUBLE AHEAD English Papers Believe There Is Ele- ment Of Danger In Present Mexican Situation ALL NATIONS ARE NOT IN ACCORD London, Oct. 23.—The London news- papers just are awakening to the pos- eibility of an embroilment between the United States and Great Britain ever the Mexican situation.

I B EE L RS SRR RS 83 TELL ~ HOLD-UP STORY —_— Cook at Smith Restaurant Claims He Was Held Up Wednesday Morning and Register Robbed. — LOST WATCH VALUED AT $40 * u * * * * * * * * * * ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok Police officers were notifled yes- terday by Claude Warren of a holdup Wwhich he claims took place in the Smith restaurant between four and five o’clock yesterday morning. Ac- cording to his story he was employed as cook and waiter in the restaur- ant nights and was all alone when two men entered the restaurant and ordered a cup of coffee. He immedi- ately went into the kitchen to get the coffee and upon his return was ordered to throw up his hands at the point of a revolver. He dropped the coffee and obeyed. In the mean- time the largest of the two men stepped behind the counter and emp- tied the cash register which contained considerable cash, while the smaller | of the two searched his pockets and relieved him of his watch which he| valued at $45 and four dollars and sixty-five cents in silver. The two thieves then ordered him to stand with his hands suspended in the air for a period of ten min- utes. Warren watched the men who crossed the street after leaving the restaurant, Shortly after the hold-/ up the lady who cooks days entered% the restaurant and Warren clalms; that he left the building after noti-| fying the police. He immediately | went to Mr. Smith’s rooms above th= Model bakery where he informed him of the holdup. Mr. Smith does not appear to believe that a holdup was made and when * interviewed. -this: morning stated that he had nothing to give out and that some one got the money was certain but who it was is very hard to tell: Claude Warren, -the cook who! claims he was held up stated that he was unable to work last night be- cause of sickness and that Mr. Smith believing him afraid to return to the restaurant had sworn out a warrant. COUNCIL HOLDS MEETING Special Session Held To Discuss New Bridge Over Outlet For the purpose of discussing the foundation of the bridge which is being erected across the outlet, a special session of the Bemidji council was called yesterday afternoon and was held last evening in the council chambers. Assistant state engineer Harding representing the state re- ported that he had tested the bottom of the river and found a hard sand bottom and that it would not be necessary to drive piling for a base for the concrete foundation. It was feared that unless piling was used for a base that if a log jam should form above the bridge the current would wash away the sand from be- neath the concrete. This was proved improbable and the work on - the dorstanding between this country and the United States in regard to the Mexican orisis, which speedily should be removed. There are elements of danger in the situation which may ‘sasily arouse strong feeling en both sides of the Atlantic.” “It oannot be denied that President Wiison had some ground for com- plaint against British policy in Mex- fco,” the Globe says in commenting on the Mexican situation. The news- mpaper considers that a grave mistake 'was made by the British foreign offica in its overhasty recognition of Pro- 'visional President Huerta, which was in such marked contrast with its dig- mifled delay in recognizing King Pe- ter of Servia. The Globe advances the view that the foreign office attitude lends color to the suspicion that its policy is dic- tated rather by political consideration than by regard for the real interests of the nation. Fire At Tenstrike Much damage is reported to have been caused at Tenstrike yesterday by fire which destroyed the city hail and jail.

Whenever Bamldli has visited Grand Rapids the members of the d0- mestic science class of the high s¢hool have served supper for the vis- itors_which was usually followed by talks from the members of ‘each team As often as possible this idea has been followed by Bemidji, and the girls of the high school, who are in- terested in the Bupper are enthusias- tic over the possibility of serving a meal whiéh will be a credit to them. Public Invited. Tthe public as in the past, is ia- vited to attend the supper, whicn wiit be given in the 0dd Fellows hall, and _for which the small sum of twenty-five cents will be charged. Dining room will be open from 5:30 D. m. until 7:30. It is possible that 2 dance will be held, in order that entertainment might be furnished the visitors. The ‘game Saturday undoubtedly will be the hardest fought on the Be- midji scedule. Grand Rapids this year has practically the same team in the fleld this year that made such a record on the gridiron during the 1912 season.. On the other hand, the Bemidji team will miss several of last year’s stars, but Coach. Bestul has drilled the boys in such a way that ‘thoy are expected to be able hold their own. Bemidji Invited. In. the oontest Saturday Bemidji will be outweighed, but this handicap will be overdone by speed. It is doubtful if any high school team jn this section of the state has a faster aggregation than that which repre- STEWART MUST GO 0ld Offender Ordered To Leave The City In One Hour Trap Stewart was up before Judg> Crowell this morning on a charge of vagrancy and was ordered to leave the city within one hours time and to stay away from Bemidjl. Stewart has been brought into municipal court on the average of once a month for the past year and has been known as a public nuisance. City Attorney Russell asked the Chief of Police to warn the saloon keepers: who are shielding men like Stewart to be care- ful or trouble would be made for them. According to the Chief a local saloon keeper found a hiding place for Stewart when the police were hunting for him. BAZAAR ENDS - TONIGHT Catholic Ladies Will Give Chicken Supper This Evening to Close Three Days Festivities. OVER 300 SERVED LAST NIGHT Preparations are belng made by the ladies of St. Philip’s Catholic church to feed the largest number of people this evening at a chicken pie supper that has attended any of the suppers served by these ladies. To- nights sales and supper and many at- ractions. will be the closing of the three days bazaar which is being held by various bands organized by the ladies of this church. According to Rev. J. J. T. Philippi the bazaar has been successful in every respect and all those inter- ested are thoroughly satisfied with the results.

All persons holding “bazaar: tick= ets are requested to forward coupons to Father Philippi before ‘8:30 this evening. Those failing to do so will be expected to kindly pay for the tickets in their possession. DISPUTE FOOT BALL CLAIM sents the Bemidj{ high school eleven. Haynor at full, is a ten second man, Tanner at quarter and Bailey ar2 built on the speed order and are abla to circle the end or hit the line with a force which is sure to make the Itasca county team fight to the limit in crder that they may win. Whaling a Star. In Captain Waling at half, Grand Rapids has a wonder, This player i8 a stocky built fellow, with plenty of ‘that stuff which goes to make up a successful football chaser. His punting and drop kicking in former years has brought many a victory to the orange and black. Farrell at the other half and Midget Lee at quarter are men which are hard to beat in high school football. Coach Carson is coming to Bemidji Satur- day with an idea of winning, there- by gaining back that glory which was lost when Bemidji defeated his team 19 to 3 last year. Get out and boost, help the boys win, they appreciate’ encouragement. Let *he slogan again be, “Beat Grand Rapids cr Bust.” 250 MEN ARE ENTOMBED Dawson, New Mexico, 1:30 p. m.

Bemidji Coach Disagrees With Ar- ticle Saying Championship Be- lon#s To Polk County Team CHALLENGED TO PLAY HERE ’ According to an article print- the Crookston Times the Fosston ~ High school football team claims the champion- ship of Northern Minnesota. The ar- ticle also states that the Bemidjl eleven was defeated by a decisive score- One point in a football game is not considered decisive. When Foss- ton defeated Bemidji on the Fosston field the final score was six and seven. The referee alowed the Foss- ton goal kicker two chances to kick goal and was the point which won the game for them. The game was played in a heavy rain storm and the Bemidji eleven was weakneed by the loss of two strong men. Coach Bestul of the Bemidji squad has invited, challenged and dared the Fosston eleven to come to Bemidjl for a game but for:-some unknown ed in level about one mile into side of black’ reason they have declined the invita- tion. It has always been the custom to play two games before the cham- pionship i8 declared and the Bemidii squad will claim that title uatil Fosston comes to this city and de- feats them fair and square. The Foss- ton defeat has been the only game that the Bemidji gridiron warriors have even met a close match in and the members of ‘the squad declare that a game with Fosston on a dry field would be “soft.” BY “HOP” FORTY CENTS PER MONTH CHARTER ELECTION Mayor Hodnn.ig Decides That lore Time Is Needed And Tuesday November 25 Is Day Selected NOTICES .
