man FROM THE WEST
Roosevelt Says He Wants Westsrner
For Running Mae
Either Senator Fairbanks or Judge
6rosscup will Do.
The Latter Has Never Figured in
National Politics.
Indiana Man Is Receptive Candidate
Political News.

Chicago, ILL.,, April Cit is said
President Roosevelt insists that his
running mate shall come from Indiana
or Illinois,"
This was the news brought back from
Washington today by a prominent poll
tician. 1t is probable, he said, that SEN
ator Fairbanks would receive the vice
presidential nomination, but in case the
honor should not 90 to Indiana, Judge
Grosscup of Chicago, he added, would
stand in an extremely strong position.
The federal judge is on the most friendly
terms With the president, and in the
opinion of politicians would make
strong candidate.
Senator Fairbanks friends have made
it clear that he is not candidate in the
accepted sense of the word-that if he
is to be the nominee it must be in an
swer "to call of the people" It is
pointed out that the senior senator from
Indiana is distinctly of presidential tim
Der, and that it would be somewhat of a
sacrifice for him to take the nomina-
ton for the vice presidency.
Judge Grosscup, never having figured,
in politics, could not be moved by such.
consideration, and should Judge Parker
be nominated by the Democrats, the.
nomination by the Republicans of fed
eral judge of standing, it is argued,
would be good politics.

FIGHT ON THE WHEAT BILL.
Members. on Both Sides Oppose the
Stevens Measure.

Washington, April chairman
Serene E. Payne, of the ways and means
committee in the house, has decided to
have another meeting, notwithstanding
that the last session was turbulent. Mr..
Payne has in his possession very in
teresting report from the treasury de-
partment, which strongly recommends
the passage of the bill of Congressman
F. C. Stevens, providing for the retention
of the by-products of Canadian wheat
coming into this country in bond and ex-
port as flour.
Mr.. Payne himself is in favor of the
bill, but there is enough Republican OPP
position, coupled with many Democratic
voters, to prevent its passage this ses-
sion. The Democratic leaders see a
chance to play politics on the measure
by claiming that it would be legislation
against the farmers. Col. Hepburn, of
Iowa, and Mr.. Hemmenway, of Indiana,
chairman of the house committee on ap-
preparations, are against the bill, saying
that it would go before the country as
legislation inimical to the farmers.
"But just the reverse of this is true"
said Representative Stevens this morn
ing. He had just had a conference with
Chairman Payne relative to the hearing
on the bill. at will take time and eff
fort to make our people of the north
west see that the bill is directly in their
interest.
In the first place Minneapolis is today
the greatest wheat market in the
world. Relatively higher prices are paid
there than in any other place, and why;
because that city has the mills with the
greatest producing capacity in the world.
Now these mills must have wheat.
"If they cannot get enough as they
need it this side of Canada, the day is
not far distant when the Minneapolis
market will no longer be the best for
our hard wheat. Should that day come,
how will it affect the Minnesota and Da-
kota farmers who can no longer enjoy
the prestige of the best market for their
wheat?
@The fact that Minnesota mills must
have Canadian wheat or Minnesota will
lose its reputation for being the greatest
-four state in the Union. We must keep
up our reputation as bread state as
well as a butter state.
'In the second place, the retention OF
the bran, shorts and middlings ground
from Canadian wheat will bring those
commodities to Minnesota dairymen who
have to feed their cattle part of the
year at lower price than they are now
paying.
"The bill is not a tariff bill or reel
procity bill either but is plain bust
ness proposition, and when Mr.. Payne
discloses the report of the treasury de-
partment I think it will open the eyes
of some of these who are opposing it, OF
the ground that it is detrimental to the
farmer"

CHAlNLEss FRAUD.
Scheme Cooked Up to Get Money
From the unWary.

From Tuesdays Daily.
No fraud is so transparent, it is said,
but some people are ready to believe in
it. This is probably true, and the sue
cess with which frauds are perpretated
by mail encourages countless new
schemes to be invented by fertile brains
belonging to INSCRIPTIONS parties. The
chain letter or postahs,heme is one of
the most popular methods of imposing
upon gullible public. A lady living
in town has just received postal card
purporting to be a link in chain of
correspondence booming an anti-cigarette
crusade that is supposed to be carried
on by the so-called United States Moral
society of Philadelphia. The recipient of
the postal card is asked to send copies
of the postal card to four of her lady
friends and to send her own name and
address to that Moral society. Such
schemes are merely used to get
the names and addresses of in
nocent, gullible people for the
purpose of practicing fraudulent,
schemes upon them afterwards. The
postmaster at Philadelphia has had so
much experience with such fraudulent
mail matter that he has issued orders
holding it all up, as far as it can be dis
covered, and pronouncing it undeliver-
able. Other eastern postoffices have tax
en- similar action.
Mrs. E. B. Ingalls,, the w. c. T. U. ma
tional superintendent of anti-narcotics,
says that she has investigated all such
chainless letter schemes and found them
absolutely unreliable. She has paid par
ticular attention to that purporting to
be sent on behalf of the United States
Moral society and has expressed herself
as greatly pleased that the Philadelphia
postal authorities have seen fit to shut
out mail addressed to that body.

Fugitive Assistant Bank Cashier Is
Being Searched For.
Every Effort Is Being Put Forth to
Locate the DefauIter.
Was Almost Within the Sheriff's Grasp
at One Time.
Told Weiser Acquaintance Officers
Were After Him.
From Tuesdays Daily.

1t appears that there are people in
Blue Earth county who are very anx-
ious to have Alfred A. Buck arrested and
when once in the officers clutches the de-
faulting assistant cashier of the Maple
ton State bank will be prosecuted to
the full extent. Sheriff Williams has not
away" Neither has County Attorney
Wilson. Both officials have exerted
every effort to locate the fugitive and
several times Sheriff Williams has been
close on Bucks trail. Sheriff Williams
was aware that Buck took passage to
Honolulu last fall and if there had not
been serious delay in communication
sent to the authorities on the Hawaiian
Islands Buck never would have been Civ
en- an opportunity to write that very
melo dramatic episode which was re-
ceived from him last November by a
Mapleton party.
Buck, as stated in The Free Press last
evening, was in Idaho, several weeks
ago. He was at Weiser three or four days
and there conversed with a party with
whom he was well acquainted. Buck in
formed this gentleman that he must get
into the Thunder Mountain district
where he thought he could be able to
keep out of the way of the officials.
Buck had learned from some source that
the officers were making vigorous eff
fort to capture him, and said that all
through the western part of the country
descriptive circulars requesting his cap
ture have been sent to the officers. He
told his Weiser friend that a reward of
$500 has been offered for his capture.
As matter of fact a reward of 5000
is offered for Bucks arrest.
County Attorney Wilson stated today
that there would be no let-up in the eff
fort to locate Buck.
Sheriff Williams is determined to ap-
prehend the defaulter.
Officers all over the country have been
on the lookout for Buck, and every
day for several months Sheriff Williams
has been in receipt of letters from those
who professed to have the man located. A
short time since Oregon police officers
were sure they had Buck in their grasp,
and they were very much disappointed
when they learned that their capture was
not the missing banker.
Buck has done considerable travelling
about since leaving this section in Oc-
tober The first heard of him after his
fight was at Helena, Mont, where he
was seen by st. Paul acquaintance. A
few days later Buck turned up in Seat
tie. He was at Snohomish, Wash, and
visited with friends there. 1t was claim
ed by certain parties that Buck was in
Winnipeg during the fall, but there is
no certainty of this. Buck has been
travelling under an assumed name. His
stay in Honolulu was of about three
weeks duration. He arrived in that city
on the steamship Korea, Oct. 20, and
when he took his departure it was sup
posed he was headed for Australia.

ATTEMPTED HOLDUP.
Eagle Lake Farmer Narrowly Escapes
Being Robbed.
From Tuesdays Daily.

tiolu luCoooy DnAy.
An attempt was made to hold up and
rob an Eagle Lake farmer ON North Sec
ond street late Sunday night. The far
mer's name was not learned, but it is
known that he was somewhat under the
influence of liquor. He knocked on the
door of Conductor c. A. Browns resi-
dence, 1926 North Second street, at 1920
o'clock, and reported the affair, which
happened nearly in front of the house.
The farmer, who was a middle aged
man, was driving home in his buggy,
when two young men sprang into the
back OF the buggy and attempted to
choke and rob him, saying that they
wanted his money. He shouted and the
horses jumped, and the robbers fell out
A little later the farmer was also
thrown out. He went to the nearest
house. which was Mr. Browns and re-
ported the occurrence Mr.. Brown mott
fed the police, and Officer Lundberg re-
sponded. A search of the reighborhood
was made, and it was learned that the
horse had circled around and come back.
A cap was found on the road in front of
the house, where it had fallen from the
head of one of the farmers assailants
when they fell from the buggy.
The farmer did not have good de-
scription of the men, but he said that
he foolishly had displayed some money in
saloon. There is no clue to the would
be robbers.

that it had been but recently fired off,

We also found loaded shells in his pocket
and around his belt.
"One of the boys is about sixteen years
of age, is small, weighs l20 pounds, is
light -complexioned, has smooth face
and wore dark clothes, cap and light
overcoat. He said that he lived in st.

"The other and larger man, on whom
the gun was found, wore light hat,
overalls, and a brown duck coat. He
said he was from Missouri.
"He said that they had been travel

younger said that he had been staying
