Mrs. Emily Gregory, Of Fort Ut
Dodge, Iowa, accompanied by
Miss Parsons, Of the same city,
is in Bemidji today en- a sad er-
rand. Her visit here is for the
purpose Of removing the remains
Of her son, Charles Gregory, from
the poor farm cemetery to
Greenwood. Gregory will be re-
membered as1 the young man
who with a companion, named
Glenn Adams, was drowned
while crossing Lake Bemidjl
early last November with a load
Of merchandise, taken from Kirk
& Smith S tote wagon.
Until a short time ago Mrs.
Gregory was ignorant Of the
whereabouts Of her son or OF his
death and the first news she re
ceived was through neighbor,
who read an account OF the
drowning in the Minneapolis
Journal and called her attention
tot The young man had been
absent from home for several
years and a good: deal of the time
his mother did not know where
he was. She was at first uncer-
tain whether or not the man
drowned was her son and the
communication she had with diff
ferent people in this city did not
establish the fact positively, SC
she decided to come and make a
personal Investigation.
Several people who had known
Gregory here we're interviewed
and she learned that her son had
been in this section. The de
scriptions Of the man drowned
did not agree in all details and il
was decided to have the body
disinterred. 1t had been buried
at the county poor farm AM

Red Lake reservation during the

there is between twenty and

If the major is as fortunate in hav-
ing matters concerned in the set

pediently as he was in the last

for the reds derived from the
pine on this deal will be ready in
the early part of next winter.

esting the commission has had
since it's organization.
The present move to organize
the village into a city under the
late law has had a somewhat
eventful and at times stormy
career. The personel of the
commission first became a bone
Of contention and later the organ
ization furnished the subject
matter for a fight. Later har-
mony was restored and all parties
to the controversy fell upon each
others necks and agreed to
relegate the hatchet to the sub
soil. The draughting of the
charter was delegated to com.
petent attorneys, who fulfilled
their part-of the contractand the.
completed instrument has been
ready for the consideration Of the
commission for some time.
Various circumstances have COM
bined to delay the work and the
commission has not accom-
plished, in the minds Of many, as
much as it should have. The
blame for this is variously as
signed.
As to the charter itself but
little us known at present. 1t
has been in the hands of the com
mission ever since it was finished
by the attorneys. It is probable
that the charter will be passed
up to the mayor and will be sub
mitted to a vote. There is talk

CHINESE
EXCLUSION
CHINA AGREES TO CONTINUANCE
OF THE POLICY AS TO THE
cody CLASS.

WASHINGTON, October 1O.-secre-
tary Hay and Sir Cheng Tung LANG
Cheng have at last begun to lay the
foundation for a new Chinese treaty,
and it is expected that the convention
will be ready for submission to the
Senate the approaching session. The
treaty will, it is understood, replace
all existing laws on the subject.
1t is the intention to continue in full
force in the treaty the principle of the
exclusion of Chinese coolies, and the
Chinese government itself is perfectly
willing that this should be done. But
the treaty will contain provisions re-
garded as much needed and earnestly
sought for by the Chinese government
for many years, looking to a more con-
derate, liberal and kindly treatment of
the higher class Of Chinese seeking to
enter our ports.

GUAM
HAS KICK
THE CITIZENS OF THE ISLAND
CLAMOR FOR A CIVIL GOVERN
MENT

SAN FRANCISCO. October IL
Captain William Kidston of the Vest
ern commercial Company arrived here
yesterday on the japanese liner Ameri-
GO Maru en- route to Washington, where
he goes to make complaint of the
manner in which the laws are admins
tered in the Island Of Guam.
Captain Kidston has represented the
Western Commercial Company on the
island Of Guam for the past two years,
and he states that trade has been great
ly hampered by the arbitrary laws
enacted by the naval government. In
speaking of the conditions that prevail
there he said:
Some Of the laws made by the naval
governor are prohibitive Of trade. The
naval authorities who govern the island
seem to legislate entirely for them
selves and ignore the rights of Ameri-
can citizens who are engaged i'm com
mercial callings on the island. The
laws are made by issuing general or
ders. OF course this does very well
i'm the navy, but for civilian this max
ing of laws overnight is uncomfortable.
The Western Commercial Company
purchased a tract of lard on Guam,
and the Governor of the island sent an
appraiser to the land. A prohibitive
appraisement was made and a heavy
tax imposed
Il am going to Washington to lay
the matter before the officials there.
The residents Of Guam want a civil
government, and the sooner it is estab-
lished the better it will be for all con-
cerned."
Captain Kidston was formerly in the
employ Of the Pacific Mail Company
here. He recently made a perilous
journey in Aston schooner from Yo-
kohama to Guam. He states that there
have been no seismic disturbances on
the island for the past seven months.

JUDGE DOLE
AND SENTENCES
HAWAII SHINPO APPROVES HIS
METHOD OF NETTING OUT FED
ERAL PENALTIES.

Hawaii Shinpo, the japanese daily,
today has an editorial dealing with
United States Judge d les sentences,
most of which have been of japanese.
The following is translation Of the
ShinpOs iltorial:
1t is a matter of congratulation for all
and particularly for US, the foreign re-
sdents, 80 have such judge on the
Federal bench as Judge Dole. Differ
ent races have different customs habits
and different circumstances. If a judge
simply and mere'.. follow the laws of
the country as they are written when
called uoon to al with the different
nationalities, it may not be a rare oc-
currence for him to find an innocent
person uilty Often we find quite eX-
onerating circumstances even in the
case of person who is accused and
perhaps technically guilty of a crime.
Judge Dole well understands this, and
is always anxious to be acquainted
with the real circumstances which led
to crime and is very careful i'm deal
ing out penalties. We should parti-
cularly thank the judge for his pains.
