NS i ll THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER FRIDAY, JUNE 2, 1916. LOUIS W. HILL MAY ASSUME FULL CONTROL OF FORTUNE St. Paul, Minn., June 2.—Louis W Hill, who ostensibly assumed full con- trol of the James J. Hill fortunes, es- timated at perhaps $300,000,000, fol- lowing the rail magnate’s death, is of a temperamental disposition. He is, however, ‘of a practical turn of +.mind, his work in art being encour- aged by his father to better temper him for the big finance to which he was. destined. Louis Hill has gained some fame locally as an artist. His work is chiefly landscape work in oils. After Louis was graduated from Yale, his father put him in a pair of overalls and started him on the bottom round of the ladder as a day | laborer, to learn the railroad busi- ness. Louis went throughall the de- partments, working without preier- ence, succeeded him. The elder Hill’s | influence continued to be felt until| his death, however. Although Louis is the second son, it appeared the Em- pire Builder had chosen him for his successor. The deceased empire builder, al- though his mind was of the steel trap practical turn, still found some time for art, which he was taught by his son Louis to love. One of the Corot series in the Hill gallery is said to have cost $50,000. Hill’s artistic learnings were toward the French ar- tists. BAND OF 300 PIECES AT BIG ELKS’ MEET Duluth, Minn., June 2.—A concert by a band of 300 pieces will be one of the distinctive features of the twelfth annual convention of the Minnesota State Elks’ association to be held here on June 14 and 15. A. J. McCulloch, convention chair- man, announced today that all the bands coming to the convention will be united into one solid organization and that a public concert will be given on court house square during the morning of June 14, the first day of the convention. JOHN D. WILL BE HOST TO 600 CLUBWOMEN TODAY New York, June 2.—John D. Rockefeller will be host today to 600 women delegates of the General Fed- eration of Clubs, whose convention closes in this city tonight. On this last day of their official stay he will open his estate at Tarrytown and give them free range of his Japanese, Alpine and Italian gardens. Miss C. E. Mason of the Castle school, Tarry- town, is chairman of the delegation. OLD TIME STRAWBERRIES. Wild strawberries were eaten ages ago, but it was not until 1480 that they were cultivated, at Holinshed, old records showing that the bishop of Ely grew a fine crop in the grounds of his palace. Shakespeare speaks of these strawberries in Richard III, where the Duke of Glouchester de- mands a mess of them grown at the Holburn garden. But even those ber- ries would find a little sale nowadays. Drink making has improved as much as berry culture, and modern plants such as that where golden grain juice is made, puts to blush the moss cov-/ ered bacteria ridden paraphernalia of ancient times.—Adv. CHARLES CARTER OF HINES VISITS IN CITY Charles Carter of Hines, candidate for the legislature from this distriet, is a visitor in Bemidji today. Mr. Carter has been investigating the flood conditions caused by high wa- ters in the Red Lake and Red Lake river and is conferring this after- noon with citizens from Shotley in regard to remedying conditions. The Helin home was the scene of a beautifully appointed parcel show- er last evening when Mrs. William Helin and Mrs. L. F. Johnson, with the assistance of Miss Irene Price, entertained thirty-five guests in honor of Miss Myrtle Neumann, a bride of this month. Decorations of yellow and white adorned the walls and hanging baskets of wild flowers were artistically arranged about the rooms. Many pretty and useful gifts were presented to the guest of honor. —_—— Bids for Second Hand Automobile, * Sealed bids will be received by the undersigned to be opened before the city council at a regular meeting to be held on Monday, June 12th, 1916, at 8 o'clock P. M. for one second hand automobile, suitable for use of the city engineer and street commis- sioner. The city council reserves the right to reject any or all bids. GEO. STEIN, City Clerk. Dated Bemidji, Minn., May 31st, 1916. 2d62-69 POSSIBLE GOVERNORSHIP FIGHT WHEN DEMOCRATS MEET Columbus, 0., June 2.—Ohio demo- crats in convention here today were to choose district presidential elect- ors. Interest centered in the row which threatened between adherents of for- mer Governor James M. Cox and those of former Governor Judson Harmon —both gubernatorial possibilities. Indications this morning were that the convention, if it endorses either, might lean toward Cox. This belief was based upon = the slating of War Secretary Newton D. Baker for temporary chairman and U. S. Senator Atlee Pomerene for per- manent chairman. Both Pomerene and Baker are close to President Wil- son and administration democrats. SUPREME COURT LIMITS COUNTY OFFICERS’ SALARIES St. Paul, Minn., June 2.—The su- | preme court today upheld a special Otter Tail county law limiting the annual salaries of county officers to $1,600. County Treasurer Stronter- son wanted his salary raised. He at- tempted to prove that a special act of 1891 was invalided by a later con- stitutional amendment prohibiting special legislation. The court held that the act was in effect before the amendment was passed. LAWYER TALKS T00 MUCH; A NEW TRIAL St. Paul, Minn., June 2.—A lawyer talked too much, hence the state su- nreme court reversed the $10,000 damage suit given in favor of F. E. Smith of Pine county. Smith, an employe, sued a railroad company. His attorney talked so long and so much that the railroad attorney asked the court to tell the jurors to disre- gard his plea. The judge failed to do this. The supreme court on this point ordered a new trial. KEEKEKEKKKEKKKKK KX * BASEBALL YESTERDAY KEHEEKEKKKKKKKK KKK Northern League.

A remarkable protograph of the trail of a meteor in flight recently was taken by an English soldier in India.
