Rather than obey an order from Kelsey Chase, state superintendent of banks, ordering them to levy an as nent of 30 per cent on the stockholders, the officers of the State E of Royalton closed the doors of that imstitution. Mr. Chase bad warned the officers that unless immediate steps were taken to restore the impaired resources of the bank he would order the doors closed. The Officers, anticipating the action of the state department, suspended business themselves and notified the state de- partment Mr. Chase and W. J. Regan, an ex- aminer in the bank, have taken pos- session. Every effort will be made to reorganize the institution and to protect the depositors, who have more than $100,000 on deposit. CHARGES AWAIT DUMAS CASE Accusations Against Minnesota Sheriff Will Be Held. Charges against Sheriff A. B. Ha- zen of Beltrami county will not be returned, nor will their investigation by the attorney general of Minnesota be rushed, but rather will they be held pending the outcome of the Dumas case, as originally planned by the at- torney general, according to the deci- sion announced to have been reached in a conference between Mr. Simpson, who started the rumpus, State Fire Marsha! Keller and his assistant, Sam F. Fullerton, to whom he passed it on, and Ralph W. Wheelock, secretary to the governor. $1,500 FIRE AT SANATORIUM implement and Tool Shed and Black- smith Shop Burn. The implement, tool shed and the blacksmitn shop at the state sanato- rium, three miles from Walker, were totally destroyed by fire at a loss of $1,500. The blaze was due to a redhot piece of iron breaking off and falling in a bale of hay. The $3,000 dairy barn, which is close to the implement building, was saved. COPYRIGHT BY £0. V.

'DEADLOGKED ON FREE LIST House Declines to Accept Amendment Relating to the Admission of Meats and Cereals. Washington, Aug. 12.—Doffing their coats and for the first time in history inviting the press to be present the conferees of the two houses of con- gress on the wool tariff revision and farmers’ free list bills sat down in conference to compose their differ- ences. Finally they effected a com- plete agreement on wool and began consideration of the free list bill. The wool bill, as agreed upon, will be reported to the senate by Senator La Follette of Wisconsin and to the house by Representative Underwood. They will direct the course of the bill in those two bodies. As the house has the papers bearing upon the bill that body will have to act first. The bill was so amended as to re- quire that the proposed law shall take effect Oct. 1, instead of Jan. 1, as pro- vided in the senate and house meas- ures. The conferees hope to have the re- port adopted in both houses and the bill started on its course to the White House, where the president is expect- ed to veto it. The free list bill was under con- sideration for about fifteen minutes, but the conflict between the repre- sentatives of the two houses was so pronounced that it became necessary to postpone action. After fixing 29 per cent ad valorem as the duty on raw wool and changing the wool classification so as to con- form to the language of the house bill the agreement on other features became a matter of detail. At times there were sharp differences of opin- jon, but at no time was a disagree- ment on that measure threatened. The change of classification has the effect of fixing a flat duty on all wools and while it reduces the rates on or- dinary wools from 35 per cent as pro- vided in the senate bill, and increases those of the house bill from 20 per cent, it also increases the rates on car wools from 10 per cent, as pro- vided in the senate bill, to the 29 per cent fixed by the conferees. In most respects the duties on the manufactures of wool were increased over the rates of the house bill and reduced below those of the senate bill s0 as to make them correspond with the raw wool; they were made higher than those of either measure. EMPEROR OF JAPAN PLEASED Thanks President for Courtesy to Ad- miral Togo. Washington, Aug. 10.—President Taft has received a cablegram from the emperor of Japan thanking him for his cordial welcome to Admiral Togo. The message follows: “The splendid welcome accorded by you to Admiral Togo and the friendly sentiments expressed by you on that occasion have touched me very deep- ly and I pray you to accept this assur- ance of my most cordial thanks and appreciation” POPE SUFFERS A SLIGHT RELAPSE Physicians Hurriedly Summoned to His Bedside, = Rome, Aug. 13.—Pope Pius suffered a slight relapse during the night and his physicians were hurriedly sum- mond to the bedside by Dr. Amici, who kept vigil in the sick chamber. Dr. Petacci at once administered an injection of caffeine, which strength ened the heart action and remove any immediate dange: After the i holiness rest: but took very little Doctors Petacci and Machiafava, while making no statement, showed |their disappointment and anxiety be- cause the pope had not made the im- provement they had expected. As a result they have ordered that the pope hold no audiences of any Kind and all church matters are held in abeyance. MUNICIPAL CAR MEN STRIKE Glasgow’s Street Tied Up. Glasgow, Scotland, Aug, 13.—The corporation street car men went on strike and disorganized the whole bervice.

WA FAVORS | DRS MISSOURIAN Governor Wilson of New Jersey and Governor Harmon of Ohio Seem to Be In the Lead, and Their Friends Say They Are Still Making Head- way—Mann Prods Leader Underwood. By ARTHUR W. DUNN. Washington, Aug. 17.—[Special.J— The last part of the extra session shows an effort on the part of differ- ent men to boost the presidential booms of their favorites. Beyond question the talk of the past four months about Champ Clark has quite seriously alarmed men who were pledged to other candidates, and con- sequently we see strong efforts put forth to show that both Governor Har- mon and’ Governor Wilson are still making headway despite the good rec- ord which Speaker Clark has made in the second most important office of the country. “If Champ Clark would announce his candidacy he would get the lowa delegation,” remarked N. F. Reed, chairman of the Democratic commit- tee of that state. He went on to say that as Iowa and Missouri were neigh- bors the people of lowa were inclined to favor a Missouri man. “The two prominent candidates are | Harmon and Wilson, with Harmon predominating,” remarks Congressman Ben Cravens of Arkansas, speaking of the sentiment of his state. He says there is some talk of Champ Clark, so it would seem that neighboring states make little difference as to presi- dential sentiment. Uncle Shelby Now Dean. Uncle Shelby M. Cullom is now dean of the senate. tor and has had the longest service. For a quarter of a century he and the late Senator Frye sat side by side in the senate. During the past ten years both passed beyond the real activities of senatorial life, although they were held in high esteem by their col- leagues. Had Fun With Oscar. No doubt Minority Leader Mann is somewhat disappointed because he has not been able to score as often as he hoped on Majority Leader Underwood. He gets an inning once in awhile. Un- derwood had told in his denunciation of Bryan how he had been overruled by the ways ‘and means committee when he wanted to revise the iron and steel schedule. This gave Mann his chance. “We might be led to assume,” said Mann, “from the modesty of that | statement that the gentleman from | Alabama was the least of all on the i Democratic side. wood is not only the leader of the Democratic majority, but he is the Democratic majority. He is not only the chairman of the ways and means committee; he is the committee. When he describes himseif as overridden by the Democratic members he is too modest. He is ‘it,’ in the language of the day. “Concerning some divisions among Republicans, | can foresee the beauti- ful harmony that will exist among the Democrats of the country. with Oscar Underwood on one side and Mr. Bry. an on the other, pulling hair and call- ing each other liars.” Son of Matt Carpenter. Senator Dillingham of Vermont was introducing a big, handsome man to his friends in the senate last week as “Judge Carpenter, my nephew.” Sen- ator La Foilette was presented and enthusiastically remarked, “You ought to be entitled to the privileges of the floor of the senate on account of your father.” The judge was from Wis- consin and is a son of Matt Carpenter, once regarded as among the greatest men of the senate. Putting It Mildly. “We must not overlook the impor- tant fact.” said Congressman Crum- ' packer while urging a tariff commis- siop to revise the tariff rather than congress, “in determining matters of legislation that the country looks upon congress—I will not say with lowance. Congress is regarded as an aggregation of statesmen with a tend- | ency to operate politics on the side.” This is a very mild and diplomatic | way of acknowledging that there is distrust of congress. Watson Barred Out. Senator Watson stood before the main door of the house in a helpless {sort of way. There was a “call of the house,” and the door was locked. |The new man on the door could not tell him bow to get in. but a friend | coming by saw the situation and pi- loted the West Virginia senator to the lobby. where members were com- ing and going at will. Watson gained entrance without difficulty. “We Never Get Old.” Two grizzled veteran employees of | the capitol and several middle aged ™men met and exchanged greetings. | “I haven't seen you in many years.” ! paid one, “but you don’t seem any older.” “We never get old.” replied one of | the veterans. “It is only you younger men that get old. We stopped growing old many years ago.” He is the oldest sena- | Why, Oscar Under- | discredit, but with a little bit of al- | CHANDLER SEES ‘SENATE CHANGES Former Member Looks Over Body From the Gallery. SAYS LEADERS ARE GONE, | Senator Bourne of Oregon Is Confident That La Follette Will Be Nominated by the Republicans Next Year—He Says Great Reforms Can Thrive Only by Encountering Resistance. By ARTHUR W. DUNN. Washington, Aug. 18.—[Special.J— “Ten Years After” might be the title of a little sketch by William E. Chan- dler of New Hampshire. The ex-sen- ator was sitting in the gallery recently, although he has the right to go upon the floor and make himself very much | at home. “I cannot tell who all those men are down there,” he said. “There have been many changes since I was a senator. The senate is much differ- ent; the questions discussed are differ- jent. The leaders have changed. In fact, we have no leaders on our side.” “We” and “our side” meant the Re- publicans, for Chandler was ever an intense Republican. He does not agree that the senate has deteriorated; he is not the kind of man to say there | bas been a falling off because he is no longer in the senate. And yet he | does mourn the loss of many men that were prominent in his day. Chandler and Wolcott of Colorado went together. “Let us,” said Wolcott in the last executive session they at- | tended, “tell them what a loss the senate is sustaining.” And that is what they did. While they were jok- ing, there are many who thought that in the brilliant and oratorical Wolcott | and in the sarcastic and epigrammatic | Chandler the senate lost much. Needs Opposition. If Senator Bourne of Oregon was to | be given a middle name it would be “Optimistic.” Never was a man so sanguine of success in everything he undertakes. He was confident that Roosevelt would be nominated for a | “second elective term.” He is just as | sure that La Follette will be nominat- | ed by the Republicans next year. | “This opposition to the progressive policies,” remarked Bourne when they were fighting the Arizona recall, “is just what we want. No great move- ment can succeed without strong oppo- sition. Every great reform goes for- | ward the more it is resisted. We could | not ask for anything better than the fight that has been made against pop- ular government during the session.” House Pedestrians. | “Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are | marching.” That might have been the | lay of a large portion of the house membership during the past two | weeks, There was nothing to hold the members in the house, and they would remain in their offices until the bells jingled a call for a quorum. Then they would tramp over and answer to their names and tramp back to their offices. There would be other roll calls during each day, and those who want- | ed the record to show that they were attending to the congressional business marched back and forth many times a day. His Late Reward. Larz Anderson, who was recently | appointed minister to Belgium, waited \long for his reward. Anderson was | one of the men who made substantial | | contributions to the Republican ex- | | chequer in the last campaign. After- | Peace Baihey | ward in talking with a friend he said | | that there ought to be something be- | | sides offices with which to reward | | men who had done much for a success- ful candidate, because it was embar- | rassing to the man elected to find | places for everybody. He suggested | titles of nobility, but it is too much of | a task to change the constitution so | | as to allow that system to prevail, and | | one can imagine just what the people would do to a senator or representative | who would try to get such an amend- | ment through congress. Mr. Anderson owns one of the largest and finest | mansions in Washington. Looking After His Bill. | The house was passing bridge bills, and one was reached for a bridge across the Palmers river, in Rhode Island. “I do not see the author of | this bill in the hall at this moment,” | said Chairman Adamson, who had | charge of the bills. - | “I beg the gentleman’s pardon,” and | | up rose Congressman O’Shaunessy of | Rhode Island. “I am here looking | after my bill and have been here all | the morning.” He is a new member, but he wasn’t caught napping when one of bis bills Was coming up. An Impressive Speaker. Senator Clapp was making a vigor- ous speech on his favorite subject, | popular government, a subject that he has discussed in many states during the summer. “Clapp would make a good exhorter,” was the comment of a man in the senate gallery. The ear- nest manner of the Minnesota senator, his ready command of language, the | fact that he was thoroughly imbued with his subject, showed that the ob- server had made a correct guess. This same manner won him many cases in the courts when he was practicing law and was recognized as an effective pleader. sae |REPEAL CLAPP AMENDMENT Oklahoman Has Solution of White Earth Difficulties. Major J. R. Howard, superintendent of the White Earth Indian agency in Minnesota, was the only witness before the committee on expenditures in the interior department, which is investigating the Indian administra- tion in Minnesota. Representative Ferris of Oklahoma, a member of the committee, made a suggestion in the hearing which failed to find sympathy with Representative Graham of Illinois, the chairman. Mr. Ferris gave it as his belief that the crux of the situation was the necessi- ty for the repeal of the Clapp amend- ment. The whole matter, he declared, should be referred to the committee on Indian affairs, with a recommenda- tion for legislation providing for the repeal of the Clapp law, which per- mits the mixed bloods to alienate their allotments. COMPANY TO REFUND DEBTS Peavey Creditors’ Committee Agrees Upon Plan. F. H. Peavey & Co. of Minneapolis proposes to refund all its indebtedness by issuing collateral trust 6 per cent notes maturing in three years. The plan already has the approval of a ma- jority of the note holders. Its full ac- ceptance will insure the maintenance as a unit of all the Peavey interests, unchanged operation and unchanged Management and the Minneapolis company, so far as business opera- tion is concerned, will be in the same position as before the death of James Pettit, manager of the Peavey Grain company of Chicago, and the discov- ery of a shortage in the accounts of the Chicago company. Through the Minneapolis Trust company, custo- dian, and with the creditors’ commit- tee as a party to the trust deed the new financing will be effected.
