Bemidji Woman Enlists Aid
of Police to Discover
Her Name.
PRESENT HUSBAND HAS BEEN
MARRIED FOUR TINES.
William Mcknight Has Had Four
Matrimonial Experiences and
Is Still at Large.

1.-THE story Of Mrs. Lila Nc
Knight, who yesterday enlisted
the aid Of the police department
to discover her true name, is
authenticand will stand up under
investigation, William Mcknight,
her hus band, is long on matri-
monial ventures and enters the
married. state right and left with
a disregard that may yet involve
him in serious difficulty.
William first became acquainted
with Mrs. Mcknight over a year
ago and the two were duly mar
ried. Mrs. Mcknight had also
been married several times and
was last the widow of Mime
apolis fireman who was killed in
the transfer fire. She has two
children, and when Mcknight
undertook to chastise them there
was trouble which led Mrs. Nc
Knight to make public a rather
remarkable story. The woman
says that Mcknight has two
wives living and one dead and
she is anxious to learn whether
or not he has ever been divorced
from the twowives who are living
and whether her name is Irish or
Mcknight, legallyas the outcome
of the matter will develop. Mrs.
Mcknight, or Irish, states that
to her positive knowledge
Georgina Schultz, who resides at
Sank Centre and has one child,
was once married to Mcknight.
He married second wife at
Euclid, Mimi. and the couple had
two children. This woman died
at Brainerd some time ago The
third wife is Mrs. Phoebe Nc
Knight, who at present resides
somewhere in Oregon and has
one child of which Mcknight is
1.-THE father. She is not positive
regarding the divorce matter,
but is under the impression that
Mcknight was never divorced
from the two women who are now
living. She has retained legal
aid to assist her in unraveling
this mystery.
Mrs. Mcknight is a dress
maker and bears the reputation
of being a hard working, indus
trious woman. The couple have
never gotten on we'll since they
were married aud there are two
sides to the story, as there
usually are.
Mcknight is at present in the
city. He bears an unenvia BILE
reputation locally and is said to
haue. done little or nothing to-
wards the maintenance of his
family.

to the Washington and Chicago Ameri-

President Pulliam, in stating the po-
sition of the National league toward
these players, said today:
Neither man will be eligible to play
in the National league until he has
been released from ms obligations with
the club holding a contract with him.
The fact that George Davis is now
practicing with the New York club. or
the fact of any litigation friendly to or
otherwise between Davis and the New
York club will not operate to change
the attitude of the National league in
this matter until it is decreed by a
court of last resort that this position of
the National league shall be changed.
Then, and not till then, will it change"
President Johnson said:
THE American league has no inten-
ton of allowing any person, be he play
er. manager or club owner, to violate
the peace agreement in any way.
George Davis must fulfill his contract
with the Chicago American league club
and play there and the same applies to
Delehanty and the Washington league
club They must fulfill their obliga-
lions as decreed by the joint commit
tees, and if they do not. they cannot
play baseball anywhere and will be out
of the game for good"

DUFFY WILL TRY TO

Milwaukee Western League Team Will
Explain Purchase of Suits.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, March 2O.-Porter
Highly, business manager of the Western
league team, said yesterday that beyond
what had appeared in the papers he knew
nothing of the trouble between his team
and the labor unions of the city in re-
gard to the alleged non union made suits
which Duffy has ordered in Boston. He
will do nothing in regard to it until Duffy
arrives in the city Tuesday.
Il was very much surprised to find
that was to be labor trouble arbitrat tor
wher l saw it in the papers," he said
yesterday. Il have heard nothing from
the unions, but a representative will prob
ably call upon me. l will do nothing until
Duffy arrives next week. however, and
then the matter will be amicably settled.
He ordered suits some time ago, and they
are something that I have nothing to do
with. We did not think of the fact that
non-union labor was employed. We
would, of course have the suits made at
a standard house where we can get them
made cheaply and correctly | do not
know whether any of the large athletic
goods manufacturers have union labor
l have tried to be careful in this matter
and have seen that none but union men
were employed on the work at the
grounds"
The management of the club does not
expect any trouble because of the action
of the federated trades council. but that
the little difference will be settled sat-
iSfactorly.

PALACES OF EDWARD Vii.
Some Facts About His Former and

TO the many changes lately made at

well, one thinks, be added. And that is
change of name True. the site was
once occupied by the house a Duke of
buckingham built thereon in 1903. But
that occupation does not seem to i'm
pose the name of a. subject upon a resi-
dence bought by George Ill. rebuilt by
George ". and, though disliked by Will
liam ", at once adopted by Queen
Victoria as her London residence, and
now the fixed headquarters of the king
and the prospective headquarters of
our kings to be.
No wonder that foreign visitors are
puzzled by the unexplained retention
of a former and long irrelevant appel
latlon They ask for the Palais royal
and are met with blank stare, a
shake of the head or a statement which
leaves a proportion of them under the
supposition that his majesty is the
guest of the Duke of Buckingham.
Scarcely less appropriate would be a

borough house as applied to the new
hereditary residence of the heirs APP

1t is true, but it is a name that the

wounds which killed Burdick. The
wounds, in his opinion, were made by
an instrument with sharp edge, and
1t is possible that golf stick, such as a
putter, could have made them.
