HEARST AFTER RR. KNOX.
The New Workers. First Argu-

minee.

Washington, April 23.-"The At
torney General has been brooding
over that evidence like an old ben on
a doorknob for eighteen months. He
has not acted in any way and won't
let anybody take it away from him"
Representative William Randolph
Hearst made this statement before
the House committee on judiciary to
day on arguing for a favorable re-
port on his resolution calling on the
Attorney General for the evidence
against the anthracite coal carrying
railroads, which includes tire report
ofthe United States district attorney
for the Southern district OF New York.
Mr.. Hearst occupied the attention
OF the committee an hour in the first
argument he has made in his capa-
city as member OF the House. He
reviewed in detail the proceedings in-
stituted by himself against the rail
roads and demanded that action be
taken either by the Attorney General
or that the House should appoint a
committee OF seven Of it's members to
compile anew the evidence in thepos-
session OF the Attorney General with
"a view to securing action against
these roads under the Sherman anti
trust act.

The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1904-06-17

The political situation in the coming
demo cratic convention is pretty we'll out
lined. Parker will have about one-third
of the delegates. Hearst will have anoth-
er third, and there will be about two
thirds Of tile convention scattered among
other candidates. This may seem little
Of arithmetically, but is correct from the
way the democrats are claiming things.
Bryan this week adds another gem of
nomenclature to political literature by
saying that Parker is 'svoiceless candi-
date and will run on meaningless plat
form." There will be warm weather in
St. Louis about the 4th of July. Bryan
may not win with Hearst but he will un-
doubtedly add several volumes to repub-
lican campaign literature on that occas-
ion. Just the same, Hearst has made the
most remarkable run, considering the
circumstances, that has ever been seen
in American history and it is quite posi-
BILE that he and Bryan together might
stampede the democratic convention.
The democratic donkey don't seem at
this time to have any special point of de-
parture or destination hence it may be
a comparatively easy matter for a good
rider to steer him. And Hearst has prov
en- skillful jockey SO far.

TIE NORTH DAKOTA EXHIBIT.

THE NORTH DAKOTA EXHIBIT.
We had not intended to write more or
the Exposition at st. Louis and had pur.
posely omitted to say anything in refer.
enceto. tile. North Dakota exhibit. Al. 1.-THE
Fair, but as the matter has become the
subject of newspaper .discussionsitI seems
proper for us to express our personal
opinion. One reason that we had pur.
posed ignoring the North Dakota exhibit
was that the commissioners in charge
had until very late hour Of our visit
practically ignored the visiting editors.
There were A editors and their wives in
the party. Mr.. Bartlett, the commission
er in charge, took the time Of our visit to
return to North Dakota to do some
electioneering, leaving snbordinates in
charge without directions Of any kind as
to courtesies to be extended to the visit
ing party. ss5
In last Sundays Herald q letter insinu.
ates that some Of the editors were mad
because they yweie not banquetted, ETC.,
and that their criticisms Of the exhibits
are biased for this reason. Il IS fair to
say that the editors did feel somewhat
chagrined in not eceiving some sort Of
welcome from the resident officials. Ban.
quets at the expense Of the state they
were not looking for; they were all sup uIL
piled with sufficient funds to pay their

t0flat, press associations present at the
same time that we were; perhaps because
our officials saw how these other associ-
ations were treated, perhaps in the
course Of the week they had discovered
that the editors ''did not come roune
and report" then they concluded to do,
something, and rendered banquet to
the N. D. editors. Only a part Of the
editors attended. This, as we said, is a
matter that we did not intend to discuss.
The N. D. commissioner may have right
ly assumed that he owed nothing of spec
ial courtesy to the editors. In that case,
we therefore thought that we owed no
special mention of him, his associates or
their work at the fair. It is only because
the letters now coming from the Fair
misrepresent the attitude of the editors
that we say what we have said.
In the matter Of the N. D. exhibits at
the fair every editor was disappointed. 1t
is true that there is much of interest in
our exhibits and in some respects they
are attractively displayed. The booth
at the Agricultural Building is mainly
constructed Of plate glass made in Pitts
burg, Pa. 1t has plate glass frieze sup
ported by plate glass pillars, the whole
structure being perhaps 20 feet square.
The frlezeis filled with corn and the pill
lars with wheat, barley, oats, etc. It is
very SNOWY. But the letter in last Sum
days Herald, already referred to, gives
inferentially the best criticism that we
have seen. The letter says some visitor
remarked as he went by: ''Well, you
fellows up in North Dakota have some
fine marble anyway" Thatsis the tact.
Itlooks like beautifully polished marble
but it don't look like the wheat and
corn which we are trying to exhibit, and
IS therefore to that extent a failure.
Il. In our mineral exhibit. magnificent
plate glass case, as high and square al
an ordinary store counter, encloses 4
hundred or SO of Dickinson building
brick. We were not informed whether
this costly receptacle was placed about
the bricks on sccount Of their great in
trinsic value, or because of the danger
Ioi the brick deteriorating from the St.
Louis climate. In some fine. glass re.
ceivers small quantity of Ignite coal is
kept safe from dust and thieves. These
are not all, but are some samples of poor
judgment to be seen.
The contrast between North Dakota's
exhibit and that Of South Dakota is the
best criterion. 1t may be that the judg-
ment OF the North Dakota editors is
warped bypique, but that South Dakota
has at least an equally good agricultural
exhibit, q far superior mineral exhibit,
and a 910. 600 house in addition on an
appropriation of s35. 900, against our ex-
hibit, without house except the Roose.
velt cabin, on an appropriation Of s5O.-
600. is, and will be, painfully evident to
every visitor from North Dakota.

sumed before a jury in Judge Cooks

residence at 1906 Folsom street

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SUFFER- CREEK, Nov. 9.-This
town and Amador City are excited to-
night over the result of the Coroner's
inquest on the death of Mrs DR..
Staples. The result of the chemical
analysis shows that arsenic was in
the stomach and the Coroner's jury
therefore gave & verdict of death pro-
duced by arsenic administered by I'M
known persons.
Sheriff Norman of this county has
telegraphed Instructions to arrest
Staples and Mrs. Hoxie, both Of whom
are missing.
1t will be remembered that after the
body Of the woman was exhumed the
stomach and bowels were sent to San
Francisco for a chemical analysis.
There was considerable delay in get
ting the results, but they came at last,
and the Coroner proceeded with the
inquest with the foregoing verdict.
1t is now known that for some time
past San Francisco detective has
been in the wake of DR.. Staples and
to have been comfortably quartered in
the HOO block on Market street, and
the doctor, it is said. had introduced
Mrs. Hoxie as his wife. For some time
detectives occupied a room adjoining
to that occupied by the happy couple
and conversed with them freely.
When DR.. Staples read of the ac-
count in the newspapers Of the body
of Mrs. Staples bein". exhumed he
made a quick departure and Mrs.
Hoxie disappeared the same time.
Nothing is known at the present as to
the whereabouts of either.
Photographs of both are now in the
hands of the officers, and it is believed
they will soon be captured.
