Encouraged by the success and ex-

eighteen out Of twenty-four entries in

of seven in the class for local roadsters
and the large number of Twin City

ATTITUDE OF coNsPIRAToRs.
Conflicting Reports as to How They
Would Meet Prosecution.

VIENNA, June 23.-King Peter ar
rived here from Genoa at 9:35 p. m.
and left again for Belgrade at 1910. He
received a warm welcome from the
Servian, Croatian and Montenegrian
students and from delegation from
Belgrade. headed by the mayed. In
response to a speech made by the lat
ter, King Peter expressed his pleasure
at returning to Belgrade after so long
an exile.
In an interview he dwelt on the diff
ficulty of furnishing the assassins Of
King Alexander and Queen Draga, in
view of their pardon by the Servian
national assembly prior to his election
as king. King Peter is accompanied
to Belgrade by his brother, Prince
Arsene. and his son, Prince George.
The reports from Belgrade vary con-
corning the attitude of those concern
ed in the assassinations. While it is
said positively that at a meeting held
last Sunday the conspira tors decided
that in the event of an effort being
made to prosecute them they would all
commit suicide, another report says
the conspirators decided to make Wig
orous stand against any plan to exact
penalty for the crime.
George Genisch, the minister Of COM
merce, who. according to popular be-
lief, focused the general dissatisfaction
felt against King Alexander, has given
remarkable interview, in which he
justifies the course taken by the as
sassins. Europe and Great Britain.

twenty-five years and walking the entire
time.
Archer is now forty-five. When he was
twenty he got the job of carrying the
mail from Johnson City to Stony Point,
distance of eight miles He did the
work for ten years and missed only one
day, and that on account of severe ILL.,
ness.
He then got the route from Stony Point
to Watauga Bend a distance of ten miles,
and here he carried the mail for ten years.
walking continually. He made the round
trip of twenty miles daily.
Five years ago he was transferred back
70 his old route between Johnson City and
Stony Point, and walked sixteen miles a
day He continued to carry the mail on
this route until the postoffice was wiped
out with all the others in the county. and
now he is without job.
Archer in his ideneSs has been figuring
up what he has done for the government,
and he finds by calculation that he has
walked 124. 100 miles during his service
of twenty-five years or lacking about
900 miles of having walked around the
world five times. He thinks he has the
worlds record, for walking.
While he holds this record he has never
received much pay. He has never been
able to buy a horse, as he got only $40 a
month. During the quarter of a century
that he has been in the government en-
ploy not once has any charge been
brought against him.-New York Sun.

Supt. Lipps, of the Indian school at

say of the school:
I'm regard to the. Indian school work
OF the White Earth reservation more
and better facilities are needed for the
instruction of the Indian children on the
reservation There are now on the reser-
walton three boarding schools and a Cath
olic mission school for girls with com
bined capacity of about 400 pupils There
are about 800 pupils on the White Earth
reservation attending different non -reser-
walton Indian schools. There are still a
great, many children on the reservation
who are not in school Simon Michelet. the
agent, has recommended to the Indian Of
flee that the Pine Point and Wild Rice
river boarding schools, which are now in
dilapidated condition, be abolished and
that the White Earth boarding school be
enlarged so as to accommodate 225 Dupils
instead OF loo, it's present capacity He
has recommended that additional dav
schools be constructed in the thickly set
tied portions of the reservation for the ac-
cQmmodat1On of the more progressive In
dams who are living on their farms and
whose habits and customs are similar to
those of white communities adjacent to

means to provide facilities for the educa-
ton of every child on the reservation. We
contend that good citizenship and the final
absorption of the Indian into the popula-
ton of the state depends largely UPON the
education of the Indian youth. We do not
hope nor expect to change the old Indian
from his present way of living. but in
educating the rising generation the ulti-
mate solution of the Indian problem de-
pends 1t is believed that the recommends

MAGNIFICENT COSTUMES
WORN BY THE WOMEN

Though not as large as it might
nave been, the audience last night at
the horse show was by far the most
brilliant asSemblage seen in st. Paul
for some years. 1t might truthfully be
said that for richness and style the
costuming of the audience exceeded Nv
far that of the famed charity balls. OF
course, the style was very different
high necks instead of none at all. and
perhaps the hats were most noticeable
of all. There are few places NOWADAYS
that woman can show her hat to good
advantage, and last night gave st. Paul
women the chance in years to dress
their heads. And they did it. Nearly
all the large hats were white. with
flowing plumes or suggestive of the new
French sailor shapes Among the
noticeably striking costumes were those
worn by the following:
Miss Newport was gowned in hand
some suit OF white broadeloth trimmed
with black velvet trimmings and a large
picture hat of black.
Mrs w. H. Elsinger wore a gown of
white crepe de chine over white taffeta
and white picture hat.

BOARD BUYS COAL
IN OPEN MARKET
Rejects Bids at $3.50 Per Ton
to Take Advantage of
Present Prices.

After having rejected all Of the bids
received June the state board Of con-
troll has, by private arrangement.
awarded the contract to the Northwest
ern Fuel company to furnish coal to all
or the state public institutions for the
coming year. The quantity Of coal
Which will be required will be about
1000 tons of anthracite and 100000 tons
of bituminous.
The board of control has positively
declined to make public the prices at
winch the contract is awarded, but it
is we'll understood among the coal men
OF the city that the inducements Of
fered the board by the Northwestern
company amounts to about 10 cents a
ton on the bituminous coal.
When the bids were opened June 1
II was found that all of the bidders had
based their proposals on the uniform
price of $3.50 per ton for hard coal
at the docks, and consequently the
quotations for egg, stove and nut coal
were the same, according to the place
at Which 1T was to be delivered All
OF the bidders also quoted about the
same price on soft coal, and for that
reason the board decided to return all
OF the bonds and certified checks which
accompanied the bids and await deyel-
opmentS.
The next announcement was that
the contract had been awarded to the
Northwestern company. The present
price made by all of the dock COM
panies for Youghiogheny screened
lump T. o. b. at West Superior or Mil
Waukee is 1915 per ton, and the price
this season of the Fairmont, w. Va,
coal, which is handled by the North
western Fuel company, has been the
same. although in past years this coal
has always been 10 cents per ton cheap
er than the Youghiogheny 1t is be-
heVed among coal men that the North
western company has secured the con-
tract with the board Of control by re-
turning to its former price on the Fair
mount coal.

NEGRO DESPERATE
KILLS A DETECTIVE
Mob Gets After the Murderer
but Can't Quite Reach
Him.

PEORIA, ILL.,, June Radioactive
William E. Murphy was killed by Bill
ly'' McRay, negro desperate, whom
he was attempting to arrest here TODAY.
Murphy, armed with a warrant for Nc
Kay, on the charge of burglary, ap-
pfoached the negro, who was standing
on street corner. and informed him
that he was under arrest. Without a
moments warning Moray drew a re-
VoIver and shot the officer in the
breast. He attempted to escape. but
was caught by Detective Chadwick.
Murphy was taken to the hospital.
where he died in twenty minutes. Nc
Ray was hurried to the city Jail. and in
less than an hour mob numbering at
least 1000 had assembled and made
a demand on the chief of police for
the prisoner. The chief refused to
surrender him. In the hope of detract-
ing the attention of the mob the fire
department was called out and went
to the JAIL 7 Hr-n~t'9
In the meantime the chief Of police
had ordered all the electric lights of the
city to be turned out, and in the dark
ness Moray was hurriedly taken to
the county jail. The mob. discovered it
of the county Jail. The entire police
force OF the city was called out to
guard the jail. At midnight the Jail
was surrounded, and there were ru-
1norS that another mob was gathering,
with the intention of lynching the ne
gro.
PEORIA, ILL.,, June 24-Shortly be-
fore l o'clock this morning the mob
surrounding the county jail began to
d1sperse. awed by the determined atti-
tude of Sheriff Potter. who stationed a
dozen deputies and policemen in front
Of the Jail, armed with fevolvers and
rifles. They were instructed to fire
upon the mob should any attempt be
made to enter the Jail. Inside the
building twenty policemen were sta
toned. While the mob still clamors
for the negro. it is evident that it lacks
a leader. and the officials are conf
dent that they will be able to cope
with the situation.

While the world has scoffed at the

which. by its crimes and follies scan

the Servians have borne all until the
removal Of the late king and queen
became public necessity"
The minister added that it was not
intended, however. to kill their mai
estes, but King Alexander himself ag-
gravated and incensed his pursuers in
the palace. and he asserts that the late
king had planned the killing of $50
prominent men on the day that the
heir to the throne was announced in
order to spread terror among the ranks
of the malcontents.
