THREATENED TO BLOW UP CUNARD STEAMER Nliged Blackmaller Proposed o Put Dynamite in Coal. | New York, June 13.—Henry Wes- cott, a young negro, is under arrest near Bogota, N. J,, charged with at- tempting to obtain $10,000 under threats of blowing up a Cunard steam- er with dynamite. City detectives believe that Wescott, or Joseph Bur- ton, as he later admitted his name to be, had the aid of one or more con- federates. Burton is confined in the jail at Hackensack, N. J., but it was believ: ed that he probably would waive ex- tradition and be brought to this city for arraignment. To the New York detectives and secret service men of the West Shore railroad Burton is said to have confessed the authorship of the letters in which arrangements were made for the payment of the $10,000 demand as immunity for the safety of a Cunard liner which the writer declared would be blown up at sea by placing dypaniite in the coal.

ADVERTISEMENT (Inserted and paid for by C. M. Lohn, Crookston, Minn.) Announcement. To the Voters of the State of Minne- - sota: . b Inasmuch as the Polk County- Bar Association was largely instrumental in bringing out the Honorable Wil- liam Watts, one of the Judges of the Fourteenth Judicial District, as a' candidate before the people of .tho state at the primaries to be ‘held June 16th for the position of Asso- ciate Justice of the Supreme Court, the Committee of that Association feel 1t to be their duty, as it is their Pleasure, to give the reasons why the northwestern quarter the ‘state| asks support of gp cal late for one | of the seven plices on the Suprenie quarter Jof the e d by ts citijens to the Supreme Bench. In justice to the court and to the people of the morthern half of the state, the Supreme Court should have at least one member who, besides being a good lawyer and able jurist, should be familiar with the: condi- tions obtaining in this newer agri- cultural part of a large and diversi- fied state. Geographically one-half of the state has never been taken in- to. consideration in. the election of Supreme Court Judges. A Judge Watts has lived in the Red River” Valley, at Crookston, since 1878. Before his elevation to the District Court Bench in 1898, he had fairly earned the reputation of being one of the ablest and most consci- entious lawyers of the Valley, having a large and extensive practice throughout the 14th Judicial Dis- trict. He stood high both as a law- yer and as a citizen, and in conse- quence was entrusted from time to ‘time Wwith several important public positions in the city and county of his residence. His record as District Judge dur- ing the past 15 or 16 years will com- pare favorably with that of the best District Judges of the state. Any person” can verify this statement by consulting the Minnesota Reports and noting the comparatively small percentage of reversals in cases re- viewed from his Court. And if fur- ther confirmation of ‘his sound Judg- ment, fairness and sense of justice were needed, we have only ‘to refer the voters to the general esteem in which he is held by the members of the bar and others of his Judicial District who know him and his work the best. The candidacy of Judge Watts has met with unqualified approval in all parts of the state where he is known, and it has the express en- dorsement of the bar of the eight counties comprising the 14th Judicial District. 8 To ‘add strength to our already strong Judiecfary, to do justice by all parts of our great state, we submit that the candidacy of Honorable Wil- liam Watts should and will meet with favor both at the Primaries and the General Election.
