VOLUME 12, No. 163, MORRISON LOSES TO HAYES; WKEE ALSO DEFEATED 4, Vote of Twelve of Fourteen Missin,, “ Precincts Received and Close Contests Are Decided. AKERBERG WINS BY THIRTY-ONE Johnson Majority Given Another In- crease and He Carries County by More Than Fourteen Hundred Spruce Grove, with its thirty-eight votes, has decided who is to serve on the board of county commissioners from the Third district, for when the returns of that precinct were re- ceived today the vote was shown to be, Morrison 5, Hayes 31, giving the latter, with all precincts accounted for, 21 majority and spelling defeal. for the chief of the Minnesota Chip- pewas. Morrison’s Friends Hoped. With three precincts missing, Mor- rison’s friends predicted his election, even with Hayes six votes to the good, the total being Hayes 293, and Morrison 287. Then came Lee and Northwood precincts giving Morrison 19 votes to 8 for Hayes, and placing the chief five votes to the good. The election of Morrison was believed to be certain. Then came Sprute Grove with its overwhelming vote for the Socialist candidate. McKee Also Defeated. Not only did Spruce Grove defeat Morrison, but it played a prominent part in the victory which Garfield Akerberg, Socialist, has finally se- cured over H. N. McKee in the race for coroner. In this precinct McKee received five votes to 22 for Akerberg. Yesterday with fourteen precincts to hear from, McKee led by a vote of 1,263 to 1,246, but today the election accounts at the court house show McKee to have been given a vote of 1,382 to 1,413 for Akerberg. There are two more precinets to hear from, Waskish and Potamo, but it is not certain that elections were held in either place. The vote, how- ever, cannot change the result from that here announced. Johnson is Favorite. Sheriff Johnson’s majority over Petersen continues to increase and he has carried the county by a far greater vote than any other candi- date. - 'The popular sheriff’s lead now totals 1,470, the vote being Johnson 2,283, Petersen 813. George Easy Winner. “Aiother race which has created muych interest at the court house dur- mg ‘the past few days has also been decided by the late returns. Beltrami county’s efficient clerk of court, was running ahead of James L George, county auditor, as the re- turns were received, his lead for sev- eral days being as low as ten votes. But the contest has been finally de- cided, the auditor winning by less ‘than a hundred votes. Both were re-elected by flattering majorities, being well over the one thousand mark. The vote, George 1,994, . Tanem 887. George’s majority, 1,107. Rhoda, 2,012, Schroeder 975. Rhoda’s ma- jority, 1,037. Socialist Vote Tells. It had been expected since the re- turns began to appear at the court house that Graham M. Torrance would be re-elected by a vote of not less than 300 majority, but as the last precinct totals were received the Socialists showed strength and Funk- ley was enabled to gather a large portion of the votes, cutting the lead of his opponent from 351 to 276. The present count, Torrance 1,701, Funk- ley, 1,425. Moon’ Gains Easy Victory. C. 0. Moon’s lead in the race for register of deeds has been continually increased and now figures 805. It had been predicted that the race for register of deeds would be one of the warmest of the campaign and many claimed that Harris would be return- ed to office. As the vote stands Har- ris secured only 1,169 votes to 1,974 for Moon, whose efficient service as a public servant had much to do with his victory. Stewart Runs Strong. W. B.

A viectory in this game will practically mean the title for ‘the Bemidji team as it has won from all other aggregations.

Fol- lowing the game the Crookston boys will be entertained at a dance to be given in the City hall and efforts will be made to make the occasion an enjoyable one. Saturday afternoon ORDINANCE IS AMENDED Council Votes to Charge Junk and Second Hand Dealers Same Fee. At Monday evening’s session of the city council it was decided to amend the ordinance which provides that junk and second hand dealers must secure licences in order that they may carry on business in Bemidji, to provide that the fee shall be five dol- lars each, instead of five for one and ten for the other, as was the orginal plan. It was the second reading of the ordinance. The application for the renewal of the liquor license of M. H. Hazen was approved and C. C. McCarthy was granted permission to transfer his saloon from Third street and Beltrami avenue to Second street and Minnesota avenue, the building used by the John Sullivan saloon. An unusually large number of bills were ordered paid. Rehearsal Postponed. R. B. Lycan, chairman of the Elks entertainment committee, announced this morning that the Minstrel show rehearsal has been postponed- until tomorrow evening. It is urged that all members of the cast be present at * future rehearsals as the time before the show is to be staged is growing short.

Today the woods are ringing with shots and lho\lu of huntsmen. The. big game hunting season is open and until November 30 it will be unsafe for deer or moose to wan- der from their favorite hiding places: There are many popular hunting pla- ces in Beltrami county and a large number of big game seckers are taking a chance on bagging their prize within a short distance of Be- midji, where numerous deer have been seen of late. Hardware stores have been busy equipping hunters for several days. Many hunters from various parts of the state are making Bemidji their headquarters.

In Russian Poland the immenua armies of the Russian emperor are pushing - forward with surprising speed, -threatening the Germans: on home soil. : From Tokio comes the report that a Japanese army. may be Bent to fhe west to take its part with the British, ‘French and Belgians in the struggles on the battlefields of Europe. Week May See Change. Military observers agree- the war has entered on a crucial stage and that the next week will mark a definite turn in the course of -wevents. In French opinion the Germans must ei- ther win their way to the English channel or fall back. For that reason particular interest attached to the offi- cial French statement, which indieated the beginning of the onslaught for which the Germans have been pre- paring during the lull of the last few days. 5 She will address the Cass of Infected Cars. ment of agricilture.

SALO0NS T0 CLOSE INTIMATES LARSON Says Law Enforcement Means “Lid” for Treaty Country. NO INFORMATION FOR PUBLIC Liquor Dealers Prepared for Order to Suspend Business and Cannot Un- derstand Delay of Government. Expected information concerning Jjust what action is to be taken by the government in comnection with the enforcement of the -lquor provi- sions of the 1855 Indian treaty was not forthcoming with the arrival of Henry A. Larson, special Indian agent, in the city last evening. Larson, together with J. B. Brandt and L. W. Larson, Indian agents, ,have been in consultation “in their rooms at the Hotel Markham prac- tically all day. They were inter- viewed by William McCuaig, mayor, and R. F. Murphy, president of the council, but absolutely refused to make public any plan which had beea made by the department of Indian affairs. Intimates Closing. ‘Do you think that the saloons will be closed?” was asked Mr. Larson. “That’s the law, as I understand it,” was the extent of his reply. Brandt and L. W. Larson maintain the same attitude as that of their chief and refuse to make any com- ment upon the matter. ; Prepared to Close. The mandate of the United States supreme court has already, been re- ceived by Federal authorities at Min- ‘meapolis and will become effective on November 18, just thirty days after the filing of the decision denying a request for a new hearing. There are more than one hundred saloons which will be closed through the en- forcement of the treaty liquor provi- tically every retail liquor dealer ex- pects and is prepared to close his place of business, should he hg A= rected to do so. Wonder at Delay. Saloon keepers have daily expected to- séenre informution from-the gave. ernment authorities and wonder why they are not given opportunity to learn from authoritative source just what they are to expect. The opin- ‘fon here seems to agree with that of W. G. Calderwood, who stated while in Bemidji two weeks ago, that the government would close every salaon of the dry territory and that every bar would be given a limit of thirty and discontinue bustness. Will Close Anyway. \ ““While it is expected that the sa- loons will be made to close through, the enforcement of the treaty,” said a prominent Bemidj prohibitionist this afternoon, “I feel that we will vote them out of Bemidji anyway in the spring. The general sentiment in Bemidji favors prohibition; it is sure to come and Bemidji will be dry without a”doubt by the first day of next March, even though the govern- ment should fail to enforce the law."” MAY BRING VISITING NURSE Woman’s Study Club: Will Attempt to Sell Necessary ‘Seals, Mrs. W. E. Dodge had charge of the Woman’s Study club program yesterday afternoon, in the absence of Mrs. E. E. Kenfield. The follow- ing papers were given: 'Nptional Parks,” Mrs. C. R. Sanborn; “Forest Reserves,” Mrs. L. H. Bailey; *Other Beauty Spots,” Mrs. W. E. Dodge. Roll call was answered by giving the names of lakes and their stories. The next meeting will be held November 23, at which time Mrs. W. N. Bowser will be the program leader. The mat- ter of securing a visiting nurse for {a month, was discussed, and most of {the members were in favor of secur- ing one. If the club is successful in selling $100 worth of red eross seals, it can secure a nurse for a month, and it has been decided to ask the Associated charities and others in- terested in this work to help sell the seals.
