év | - VOLUME 12, NO. 42, SHEVLIN SWAMPED. BY ATHLETIC CLUB Bemidji Aggregation Has Easy Time in Winnjng From Visitors, Final Score 19 to 0—Paul in Form. M. & I. MEN PLAY GOOD BALL Regulars Forced to Limit in Order to Win 3 to 2 Vietory—Gallanger and Smiley Pitch Well. Two victories weie chalked to the credit of the Bemidji Athletics in games played yesterday, the Shevlin aggregation being swamped to the! tune of 19 to 0, while the Minnesota & International railroad company team was humbled by the close score of 3 to 2. Of the two games, the one played with the railroad men was by far the best. Shevlin’s showing was a disap- pointment. The team came here without a single defeat against their record and boasting of an ex-| pected victory. Charlie Paul, the Bemidji pitcher, pitched one of the best games of his career, and sup- ported by almost faultless fielding he let the visitors down without a sin- gle score. Slaughter in Third. Three fly balls was the best Be- midji players could do in the first inning, but in the second two bases on balls, an error and Murphy’s don- ble scored three. Then came the fa- tal third in which every man batted at least once and Brandon tw'ece. The Bemidji captain was_the first and last man up in this round. His first attempt was a fly to center and his strikeout ended the inning. Four errors, singles by Howe, Finn, Bailey, Berrigan and Paul and Murphy’s sec- ond double, allowed 8 runners (o cross the plate. This brought the score up to 11. Added Five in the Fourth. Bemidji's lead did not hinder the boys from continuing the slaughter, and in the fourth five more counts were secured on two bases on balls, a batter being hit, Howe’s double, and Bailey's single, a fly and and an error. After this effort the Athletics were content until the eighth when one more count was added. Two runs were made in the eighth when Rice doubled, scoring Paul and Mur- phy, who had been given life by an error and a base on balls. Only three times during the game was Shevlin able to ‘get men as far s third base, but on these occasions tight pitching by Paul and brilliant fielding ended the danger. The Real Contest. The M. & 1. game, played late in the afternoon, was one of the best games seen here this year, and in keeping with their challenge the railroad men made their opponents extend themselves to win. Smiley was in old-time form, allowing but two hits, while Gallanger also pitch- ed good ball, allowing ony four safe bingles being secured from his de- livery. Earl Hazen, Roy Carter, Broman and Elmer Rice played strong ball for the freight hustlers, while Brandon, Barl Bailey and Pilot starred for the Ataletics.

NEW DIRECTORY, READY Third Edition of John Ley’s Work Now Being Distributed in Bemidji —Is Complete in Every Detail. MUCH CARE TAKEN IN ACCURACY John Ley’s third city directory is now being distributed and is as com- Dlete, if not more, than the two pre- vious editions. Much care was taken by Mr. Ley, who was here today, in the preparation of the directory, and he takes much pride in its accuracy and the framing. In speaking of the directory today, Mr. Ley said: “It is more than a list of residents with their occupa- tions and addresses; it is a comple’e and accurate guide to the city, its people, their government, institn- tions, organizations and its societies. It is a complete record of all per- sons and places of the day and be- comes a permanent history of tie city and its people.” precaution taken in its MISS PENDERGAST INJURED Sprains Ankle in Running From Building Damaged by Cyclone.

In Beltrami county there are sev- eral interesting fights, the hotest be- ing for the house of representatives, state senate, register of deeds and treasurer. L. G. Pendergast, the old soldier, is practically assured-of the nomination and Bemidji will give him a rousing vote as he is the only southern Beltrami dounty man in the race and the citizens are anxious that at least one man from Bemidji represent this secton of district in the legislature, there being the possi- bility that the senatorship may go to International Folls. Andrews Strongly Supported. A. A. Andrews, the Bemidjd lawyer, ‘while unable to devote any of his time to an extensive campaign, is expected to pull a strong vote at the primaries and his nomination would not come as a supprise. - Hay- den is also to be considered and Nord of International Falls is very likely to gain a place on . the _ballot, and expects to be nominated. ApRoberts, the Socidlist candidate, is practically assured of the nomina- tion. and the various ‘McCuaig Appears Winner For register of .deeds William McCuaig, mayor if Bemidji, looks like a sure nominee, while Harris, who formerly held the office has just closed a strenuous campaign in an effort to be returned. I. B. Olson also is hot after the office and C. O. Moon, the present incumbent is a candidate to succeed himself. Clark Has Easy Fight M. A. Clark, who has held the office of judge of probate for séver- al terms is opposed for re-election by M. G. Slocum and Joseph E. Harris: Judge Clark is. considered as being one of the most competent probate officers in the state and his friends predict that he will be nominated to- morrow by a larger majority than ever before. Sherriff Johnson will be nominat- ed by a large majority. " The Treasurer Proposition. There are four men after the coun- y treasurer positfon, Henry Alsop, with his many years' experi- ence is well qualified for the position but the other candidates have con- ducted through campaigns and: to pick the winner would be difficult.

TAXPAYERS SAVED ~MILLIONS Same Companies in Bidding on Sim- ilar Forgings Lower Bids Forty- Four Per Cent in Four Months. By Congressman C. H. Tavenner. Washington, June 15.—Ere long congress is going to take the profit Charges Made on Government for |- out of war and preparation for war. When the peaple learn of the out- rageous manner in which the pow- der, armor and ammunition trusts have overcharged and cheated Uncle Sam _they will insist that the govern- ment manufacture its own munitions of war. The purpose in this effort to have the government manufacture all its munitions of war ds not merely to save the government the amount of these extortionate profits, but to take the profit out of war and preparation for war. i ‘Many gentlemen “want a large number of battleships in-order that private manufacturers may make hugh profits in building them. When the government manufactures all munitions of war we will be able to decide upon the number of battle- ships needed on the merits of that question. - Then the amounts to he carried in the army and navy bills will not be dictated by the greed of the armor, powder and shipbuilding trusts, but by the needs of the coun- try from, a strietly military view- point. Mr. Carnegie, who was one of the first to go into the armor- plate business, boasts of having made millionaires out of :43 men. So there must be huge profits in the armor-plate business, and now that the government has generously per mitted a considerable colony of steel manufacturers to lay up sufficient millions to keep the wolf_from their doors through the remainder of their days, as a reward .for their thrift and genius and hard work, congress -{should, instead of creating a fresh colony of steel magnates at the ex- pense of the people, seriously begin to think of saving some of these 1 lions to the taxpayers. Government Has Been Overcharged The extent to which the armor, ammunition and powder trusts have been overcharging the government is almost unbelievable. There has seldom been honest competitive bid- ding between the manufacturers. Secretary of the Navy Daniels dis- covered this condition as soon as he entered office, and as a result of his activity in getting new independent bidders to enter the’field he has saved the government more than $2,000,000 and has been in office 1it- tle more than a year. Here are two sample illustrations out of a multitude which could be cited showing what happens under real competitive bidding. Realizing the government was being = over- charged for turbine rotary drums, the secretary invited an English firm to submit a bid for the drums to be installed in the new battleship, No. 39, now building in the New York navy yard. The Midvale Steel com- pany and the Bethlehem Steel com- pany, two of the three concerns’com- posing the armor ring, bid $180,272 and $169,568, respectively, while the English firm, acting for the Cyeclops Steel & Iron Works, of Sheffield, England offered to furnish the drums for $57.436, a saving to the govern- ment over the lowest bid of the ar- mor ring of $102,075. 2 Then, recently the seeretary awarded a contract for building 100 torpedo flasks, - including ~ heads. There was competition;- new con- tractors entered the field previously monopolized by the ring, and the secretary of -the navy was able to purchase 100 flasks: for $58,246, which under former conditions would have cost $115,075. : The bids of the Bethlehem Steel company and_the Midvale Steel com- ding showed a re duction of 44 per icent as compared with bids.for sim- ilar forgings submitted “by these companies only four months previous, Speaker at Goethe Monu- ment.
