A Few Pythian Lodges Disregard Rules
Regarding Admission of Liquor

Grand Chancellor James Robertson of
the knights Of Pythias, IS waging a de-
termined crusade against the subordinate
lodges in this state which have violated
the laws of the order prohibiting admis-
sion of saloon keepers, bartenders and
professional gamblers. One lodge in this
city has eight saloon men on it's rolls.
In the case Of one Minneapolis lodge the
grand chancellor has forbidden it to rec
ognize as Pytllian one of it's members
admitted about month ago. .-.f.
Some Of the lodges are defiant and
nullify the spirit Of the law by suspending
the Objectionable members for a day
or two. Unity lodge will attempt to dis
prove the charge Of the grand chancellor
that women will not attend certain social
functions on account Of the violation Of
the laws by making efforts to secure a
large attendance for its party on Aug. 26.

NOTHING WAS SOMETHING
A Lawyers Interpretation Of Law as
to Vagrancy Would Not
Hold. ..

Rachael Grigsby. was arrested by Pa
trolman Pat Ring on a charge Of vagran-
cy, and w. r. Morris, the woman's attor-
ney, took exception to the arrest, say
ing that the officer had overstepped his
authority.
''What was the woman doing when you
arrested her?' asked the attorney.
Nothing replied the officer.
why did you arrest her, then?" con-
tinued Mr.. Morris.
Because she was doing nothing was
the response. Il have charged her with
doing nothing, or being a vagrant.''
May it please the court" said Mr.. Nor
ris, II object to trying this woman. The
officer says that she was doing nothing,
and the law says that an officer can make
no arrest except when he sees a person
committing a crime. This officer says
that the woman was doing nothing, and
yet he arrested her. He should have
sworn out warrant. I move to DISMISS
Motion Denied" promptly replied the
court. 'Vagrancy Is a continuous offense
and an officer can make an arrest at any
time. What plea do you enter?'
Mr.. Morris took exception to the ruling
but entered plea Of not guilty and the
case was continued until tomorrow.

Fake. IS.
The police are trying to find the rela-
tives of John Erickson, the writer Of the
peculiar note found in the river near
Rosseau, Mimi, a few days ago. The
note stated that the writer was lying Ill
from smallpox not far from the river and
that he would die within two days If not

PROTOCOLS ARE SIGNED.
Venezuelan Blockade to be Immediately
Raised.

Washington, Feb 16.-Herbert w.
Bowen, Venezuela's representative in
the peace negotiations at Washington,
signed with each of the allies represen-
tatives protocol providing for the
immediate raising of the Venezuela
blockade, and for the reference of the
question of preferential treatment OF
the claims of the allies against Vene-
zuela to The Hague arbitration tri-
bunal. The final formalities occurred
at the British embassy.
Immediately upon the signing of the
last protocol cables were dispatched to
London, Berlin and Rome announcing
the fact. 1t is expected that the COM
mandcrs of the blocllading fleets with
in the next twenty-four hours will
receive their orders to withdraw their
vessels at once. BY the provisions of
these preliminary protocols, which
have required more than three weeks
of constant negotiations, Venezuela
malies two distinct gains, the imme-
diate raising of blockade from which
she has been suffering for some weeks,
and the return of all her vessels, war
and merchant, which have been cap
tured by the allied fleets.

RISK AN EXTRA SESSION.
Instead Of Weakening Statehood
Men Are Gaining Strength.
WEAKEST POINT AT FRONT.

Washington, Feb 1.-THE committe
on postoffices and postroadS will r.
port to the senate the postoflicc appro-
priation bill with the statchoon bill at
tached as rider
Instead of adding it to the tail end of
the appropriation bill, as is commonly
done, the statehood measure will con-
stitute the first section of the bill.
The proposition TO admit Arizona is
placed ahead of oklahoma. This is the
weakest proposition in the general
scheme of comforting statehood on the
territories, and is placed at the head i'll
order to test the relative stregth of the
two sides.
This action of the committee means
that the statehood fight is to be carried
to the bitter end. 1t is now generally
admitted that all the territories will
be admitted as rider TO the posto1fice
bill, or that the appropriation bill will
fail. In other words, the territories
will become states or there Will be an
extra session.
Instead of weakening as the time
for adjournment approaches, the state
hood men are gaining in strength.
This was shown by the accession of
one republican who has been opposed
to statehood. The opposition can pre-
vent a vote on the appropriation bill if
it is inclined, and Beveridgc and his
associates of the opposition declare
they are as determined to prevent the
passage of omnibus legislation as Mr..
Quay and his side are determined to
risk an extra session rather than give
up the fight.

BlER'S CLOSING SPEECH:
In Closing Argument Against De-
mands Of The Miners.
LARGE CROWD TO HEAR HIM.

Philadelphia, Feb 16. with the eX-
pectation of hearing George Il. Bner Of
the Reading company male the closing
lrgunent against the demands OF the
miners, Il large crowd was in the Uni
ted States circuit court room.
Mr. Bacr said, in part:
"In general, no one denies the right
of men to organize for any lawful pur-
pose, but the right to organize and the
power of the organization when organ
ized must still be governed and con
rolled by he general law of the land
under which our individual and prop
trty rights are protected. We concede
to organized labor the same rights that
we claim for organized capital Both
must keep within the law There can
not be one law for citizens and cor
poratons and another for labor ana
organizations
"Thc lawlcssncss in the coal regions
was the direct result of mistaken
theories as to the rights of mine own
ers 1t will not do to say the leaders
have not encouraged violence and
crime. 1t is true, no doubt, that they
did not advise. They may have at
times counseled against it, and eX-
pressed regrets for it, nevertheless
they are legally and morally response
BILE for the situation they created and
from which this violence and crime
necessarily resulted.
"The leaders intended to enforce
demands 10y the threatened destruction
of the mines. They thought abe opera
tors would yield rather than see the
ruin of the mines. The operators did
not yield Every attempt to supply
men TO work the pumps was met by
mobs, picsets and all the devices that
labor organizations commonly use to
prevent meu from working. With the
cessation of mining for five months
and the destruction for the time being
of IL number of collieries, the public Is
now suffering for want OF an adequate
supply of fuel.
'Many good men have found fault
with us for not making an agreement
with the United Mine Workers of
America. Our chief objection to this
organization was that it was n foreign
organization, interested in a rival and
competitive business. We could never
see the wisdom of permitting the ol-
luminous miners to inject themselves
into the anthracite mining situation.
"The United Mine Workers have
created II monster monopoly. they
shut up the anthracite mines for more
than FIVE months. They taxed the BIZ
luminous miners and all laborers over
whom organized labor had control to
support the strike"
