The retirement of Mr Daniels from the government serviw in ‘Minnesota | is an interesting chapter in the history of the Indian controverysy. in Minnesota. Incidentially, according to the men who follow national poli- tics, it may have ndtional signifi- cance. The man wha has decided to oust Mr. Daniels is Attorney General T. W. Gregory, who ” sits on the president’s cabinet with the secretary of the navy, Mr. Daniel’s brother. For many months a concentrated attack has been made at Washington upon Mr. Daniels, who is said to have displeased Wilson democrats by some of his activities in Minnesota. Rein- forcing this attack have been com- plaints filed by men who are inter- ested in an early disposition of the ‘White Earth land cases—1,5600 cases which involve title to about 150,000 acres of land on the reservation. Candidates After Place. Intimation that the attorney gener- al was contemplating removing Mr. Daniels from his Migifiésota -assign- ment came to Minneapolis democrats a month ago when a special agent of the department of justice came to Minnesota to investigate the situa- tion. As a result many applications for Mr. Daniels’ position have been filed in Washington. One of the men mentioned, Julius A. Coller of Shako- pee had an interview yesterday with the attorney general in Washington. Other democrats mentioned for the position are W. M. Jerome of Minne- apolis, G. B. Richards of Duluth, Einar Hoidale of Minneapolis, James Meigen of Waseca and Judge W. L. Parsons of Fergus Falls. Unnecessary Delays Charged. It is said that the attorney general will base the removal of Mr. Daniels on the statement that there has been inexcusable delay in handling - the land cases, that expenses for the work have mounted and results have not been obtained. The 1,500 cases which Mr. Daniels has been prosecuting are actions by the government to set aside land titles in cases where Indians on the White Earth reservation alienated their lands under the provisions of the Clapp act of 1906. This act, which ‘was an amendment on the general ap- propriations bill, gave mixedblood In- dians on the reservation the right to alienate their lands. Under its pro- visions practically all the Indians made land transfers. That hundreds of fullblood Indians transferred their lands, that the In- dians were the victims of wholesale fiauds and that much of the valuable timberland on the reservation was sold for a ‘“‘song” was the finding of a congressional committee appointed three years ago to investigate the sit- uation. . The committee declared that criminal action -should be brought against some of the landmen who lived near the reservation. ments followed and the government began its 1,500 suits, alleging that ‘W.

Lord Loreburn is one of Europe’s ‘most brilliant lawyers and deepest thinkers. He was lord chancellor of Great - Britain between 1905 and 1912 and is an intense liberal in poli- tics. He has always been noted for blurting out the truth, however in- convenient the truth might be to oth- ers, and he has owned his rise to that unusual characteristic as much as to the admirable judgment which almost always has been shown to re- side in his opinions. 1+ “reictkugeoptaton. Undoubtedly, whatever Lord Lore- burn says in the open, in a time of grave crisis, many minds of first rank are privately thinking. Under this condition it frequently needs but a publicly spoken word to cause men at large to unburden their half-timor- ously concealed thoughts. There can be little question but the Baron Loreburn’s picture after the war as a wilderness inhabited mostly by old people and children will produce changes of opinion among statesmen concerning the consequences to the world if the war is fought to the end. landed at Cape Bon.

MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION CHANGES MEETING DATES Members of the Bemidji Merchants association at a meeting yesterday | afternoon’ decided to hold meetings every other week instead of weekly in the future. Routine matters were considered at the meeting yesterday. CORONATION OF EMPEROR TODAY First Celebration of Kind to Be Held in 25 Centuries That Representa- tives of ?eople Hsve_ Atteu:d,ed.i REPORT EXPECTED FROM PAGE ‘Washington, Nov. 10.—Another se- rious submarine issue loomed up be- fore the American government as a result of the torpedoing of the liner Ancona. Officials left no doubt but that this government will proceed vigorously with Austria if it develops that the Ancona was deliberately stnk. A report is expected from - Ambassador-Page. T 3 + Bhiouht it :develop that the Alcona - was given warning and ignored it and attempted to escape the rules of na- val warfare, according to the Wash- ington government view, justified the use of force. If she was attacked without warning and a case parallel- ing the Lusitania develops, the atti- tue of the United States probably will be along the lines already fol- lowed with Germany—the dispatch of a note demanding disavowal of the act, reparation and assurances that such incidents will not occur in the future. Kyoto, Japan, Nov. 10.—Emperor the first coronation in 26 centuries that representatives of the people have permitted to attend. The Jap- anese people are greatly pleased. Ceremony Brief. Today’s rather simple and brief ceremony, marking the accession of Yoshihito to the place handed down “by divine right” from his forefath- ers who were emperors ‘“‘before the dawn of history,” is the climax of the six-weeks’ accession program for which the Diet approprlated $2,- 000,000. Foreign Representatives 'l'hm. Members of the court, ministers of state, members of the diplomatic corps and members of the Diet, rep- resenting the people, attired in the gorgeous silver and golden ceremo- SAILED FROM NEW YORK OCTOBER 17 New York, Nov. 10.—The Ancona sailed from New York for Naples on October 17. She had on board 1,246 Ttalian reservists and a general cargo. She arrived at Naples on October 29, and was due to sail from Naples for New York yesterday (November 9.) The Ancona was built in Belfast in 1908. She had a gross tonnage of 8,210, and was 482 feet in length and 68 feet deep. GERMANS DEMAND GOUNSELLOR'S RECALL ‘Washington, Nov. 10.—Because of his efforts in behalf of Edith Cavell, the executed British nurse, Coun- sellor O. De Laval of the American le- gation at Brussels, was forced to leave Beugium upon the demand of the German authorities, the state depart- ment announced today. .. Looking for Peace. These exchanges may even occur between representatives of enemy powers, if it be true that Prince von Buelow is now in Switzerland for the purpose of discovering a possible basis of peace. The most fundament- al of all peace bases is a realization of the consequences that would re- sult if peace was refused and if the war were to continue to a condition of exhaustion. War May End Soon. Lord Loreburn’s warning of the specter of anarchy lurking in the background of the present conflict must be accepted, therefore, as a positive contribution to the cause of peace. It is one of a growing num- ber of indications that Europe grad- ually is emerging from the condition of blind hatred which prevailed earl- ier in the war. - This does not mean that peace will probably be declared immediately, but it unquestionably does mean that the way is being cleared for an exchange of peace views among the belligerents. How long it will take before the way is finally opened, no one can tell. If the other combatant countries have statesmen possessing Lord -Lore- burn’s frankness, and if the warnings of what a prolonged war means to Burope are frequently repeated, the where to be seen when the foreign representatives were heralded to their seats before the imperial scarlet canopy to the sound of flutes and drums, hidden in Shunkyoden temple. Reads Speech to Spirits. It may be several hours before the signal will be given and the doors of the sanctuary, where the jewel, the sword and the mirror are kept, and opened and the offering spread before the altar. Then will enter the em- peror, followed by the princes of the blood, ministers and coronation com- missioners. After a brief silence the emperor will read an address to the gathered spirits of his dead ancest- ors, telling them he has assumed the place they left for him. Feast Days Follow. Those at the coronation then will do homage to the new emperor and he will sit down upon the seat of The Son of Heaven. Later he will pub- licly proclaim his accession to his subjects generally. Days of feasting TWO GET BOUNTIES, ‘Wolf bounties have been paid to W. H. Warner and Frank Rohn of Turtle River. Forth Worth, Tex., Nov. 10.—C. A. Myers for the second time prepared to mount the scaffold today. This time there was expected to be mno hitch in the proceedings. Myers, convicted of shooting A. W. Mon- tague, was sentenced to be hanged last September. A few minutes be- fore the execution the court ordered a stay until Myers’ sanity could be investigated. He was pronounced sane by a jury and resentenced last month. By "HOP’ Des Moines, Ia., Nov. 10.—Miss Flora Dunlap, state president and Mrs. Frank Didson, campaign man- ager, are making a house to house campaign for woman’s suffrage all over Iowa, to be completed before the constitutional amendment goes to a vote in June.
