Colonel Harry S. New of Indiana was appointe to-lcad the committee on arrangements, as Mr. Hilles had insisted, in his conferences with Postmaster General Hitchcoch and others, who were said to be op- posed to the Indiana committeeman. ‘When Mr. Hitchcock failed to appear at the committee the suggestion was laughingly made that he had been “steam rolled.” The Taft forces also dictated the en- | tire membership of the arrangements committee, which was increased from five to seven, as follows: New, Indiana; Vorys, Ohio; Mul- vane, Kansas; Murphy, New Jerse: Williams, Oregon; Rosewater, Ne braska, and Duncan, North Carolina. Attitude of Committee Shown. Hl As indicating a phase of the attitude of the committee its decision to call for the selection of delegates from the District of Columbia at a primary election was of unusual interest. The committee approved the’ action of the executive committee in; appoint- ing a subcommittee to takeing: hand ; the preparation of a call for delegates, indicating the method in which they | were to be chosen. This committee consisted’of Messrs. Borah, Idaho; Ward, New ‘York; Ca- pers, South Carolina; Lowden, Illinois, and: Rosewater, Nebraska. There was a brief threat of an up- set when Senator Borah of Idaho pro- tested against the perfunctory ap- | Droval of “a newspaper list” when Mr. Lowden of Illinois called for the, nam- ing of the committee on arrangements with Colonel New as chairman. Mr. | Borah said he thought the members of the committee should be elected by the national committee and not ‘chosen on the outside. Senator Crane of Massachusetts moved that the chairman appoint the | Committee. Mr. Lowden suggested that | this would overcome Senator Borah’s | objection. | | “Tt will not overcome my objection,” Yetorted the Idaho senator, “but it is GRAND Rapips, MINN, NAAennnnnre DR.

H. Bullock, ” Work ‘at Cohasset | Event Far Outshone Durbar of 1903, When King Edward Was Proclaimed | Emperor—Crowning Followed by An- | nouncement of Large Donations to! Promote Popular Education. Delhi, India, Dec. 13.—-King George V. and his consort, Queen Mary, have been prociaimed emperor and em- press of India. The culminating act} of the English monarch’s accession to | the throne of his vast Indian domin-! fons took place amid a scene which | for richness of color and magnificence | of decorations probably has never! been surpassed in modern times. The crowning was followed by an act of geuerosity on the king-emper- or’s part, of which a slight hint had; already been given. The viceroy pro- claimed that the king-emperor was to donate a large sum of money to pro mote popular education and that fur- ther handsome gifts would be made. The huge amphitheater which had been erected in the durbar camp was! thronged from an early hour. The bright tissues and sparkling of gems of the many Indian princes and the smart uniforms of the soldiery con- trasted strongly with the white dresses of the European ladies and the sober | garb of civilian officials. | The event far outshone the durbar | of 1903, when King Edward was Pro-| claimed emperor. | The great feudatory princes and | Tulers of India, with the leading Brit- ; ish officials occupied seats of ‘honor near the pavilion located in the center. Screened from the gaze of the curious by a lattice framework, a number of Maharanis and other Indian ladies of | high rank occupied two sections of the ! front gallery. The interval of waiting was beguiled by the playing of mili- tary music. The soldiers played a large part in the durbar and a guard of honor composed of one hundred men was drawn up before the central pavilion. Troops of every arm sur- rounded the arena in a compact mass and lines of soldiers extended along | the route of the royal approach. Homesteader Killed. in Well. | While on his way from Big Falls | to his homestead, Fred Gordon, aged thirty-eight, met accidental death in an eight-foot well. It is supposed that he fell in while reaching down to dip | water for a dri There was every evidence of a hard struggle. Richeson Abandoned by Edmands. | Boston, Dec. 18.—Despite denials it is evident that Rev. C. V. T.

Ed- mands has heretofore borne all the expenses in the Richeson defense. | School Official Board Publication District of Number 1 Proceedings (eae Rapids, Minn., Dec. 5, 1911. | A meeting of the school board of | School District No. 1 was held in board's office at five o'clock p. m. members 6f the board were present.
