~BERMEL-CASSIDY FIGHT.
Cassidy Men Pack he Democratic Ciut
and Keep Bcrmel Men Out.

and Keep Bcrmel Men Out.
In the fight for control OF the Queens
Borough Democratic Club and possession
Of the new clubhouse. which IL to be settled
early next month at the annual election,
there was a preliminary skirmish last night
when a meeting was called for the purpose
Of nominating candidates for the Offices
to be filed. Several days z a meeting
was held and the Cassidy faction which
was in control replaced the secretaries,
William Buckley and ID. W. Murphy, who
are followers OF Bermel. with men OF their
faction. The legality Of the action
was challenged in the courts with the
result hat Justice Dickey issued an order
restraining the club from interfering with
the two officers during their term of office.
The meeting for last night was called for
s o'clock. Ex-President Joseph Cassidy
and his friends made sure they would con-
troll the meeting and as early as 2 o'clock
in the afternoon the meeting room was
filled and during the afternoon and early
evening those inside were kept supplied
with refreshments. Aside from Buckley
and Murphy not over ten or a dozen Bermel
men could get inside the meeting room at
3 o'clock. Over a hundred Of the Bermel
men could not get into the hall at all. Fiji

had little to do, as the Cassidy followers
had the hall packed and we're all inside,
While the Bermel men were all outside.
The meeting was not a protracted one
President Senator Luke Keenan, raped
for order promptly at 8 O'Clock. James
MuIholland and Vice-President Conroy
asked for a roll call This was because 10
was asserted that a large portion of those
inside the hall were simply. space hllers and
not member of the club. Mr.. Cassidy
offered an amendment that the roll call be
dispensed with. That went through with
q whoop and the order of business was
run through rapidly down to the special
order of the evening. Then Mr.. Cassidy
moved that a committee of seven be APP
pointed to make nominations. John A.
Gray for the Bermelites objected and started
to make a speech, but the crowd was too
much for him. Mr.. Cassidy's motion went
through and President keenan, appointed
as a COMMITTEES Mr.. Cassidy, Samuel Grennan
George A. Gregg, Henry w. Sharkey, p. j.
Lahev, Daniel Callahan and John Daldert.
Mr.. Gray then wanted a committee of three
appointed TO act with the financial secretary
% see that all members who voted at the
election were in good standing. Mr.. Cassidy
jumped to his feet and called out 10 his
friends to vote against it. Before the
motion wasput to vote Mr.. Cassidy changed
hrs tactics and moved AT amendment that a
committee of three tellers be appointed by
the chair to conduct the election and tina
went through.

 While we are reading so much about the canal that is to be built across the Isthmus of Panama, it may be of in- terest to some to know of the eXperi- ence of MT ErraZuriz and family the last time they crossed the isthmus coming this way. When they landed on the Pacific coast they were just a little too late for the train that came across, so had to put up at hotel and wait till the next day when they ar rived at the railroad station in time, but their baggage had not come from the hotel. Speaking to the conductor about the lateness of the baggage in arriving. The conductor told him to hire another team and go after it., which MT Errazuriz did. He then went to thank the conductor for wait- ing the train and received this reply, "Oh, that's nothing, another man has gone after his baggage in the same way" Quite an accommodating train, your correspondent would say.

BETHEL
HELD UP BY H1GHWAYMEN.

Last week Wednesday evening as M. s. Davis was returning from Bethel to his home in Plumtrees district, when near the residence of Nathan Bennett some one held him up and attempted to get into his wagon evidently to rob him. MT Davis took his whip and struck the man a heavy blow across the face, causing him to fall back; he then hit his horse and vas soon out of the way of the highwayman. It is only few nights ago some one tried to force their way into the home of Harry A. Hoffman near where MT Da- wis was held up, and since then some one seems to have been prOwling around, taking what they could lay their hands on. It is about time the proper authorities took the matter up and put the rascals where they should be-behind the bars.

DRAINAGE FUNDS
ARE AVAILABLE
Appropriation for Topographic
Survey Might Be Used in
Minnesota.
By w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Jan. ia. G. Bernard.
president of the Minnesota State Drain
age league, has had a conference with
officials Of the geological survey, and
the result is that the appropriation
made for drainage work in the state
under the Cole law will probably be
duplicated from funds appropriated by
meansian addition Of $4,000 for drain
age surveys in the state. In the memo
randum sent to Bernard today, H. NJ.
Wilson, geographer Of the geological
survey, says:
"Under the existing law. funds ap-
propriated by congress to Topographic
surveys surveys may not be expended g!a.a LEX es-
tion of the director of the geo
authorities, under whose direction
this drainage appropriation rests. will
communicate with the director asking
his cooperation in this work and offer
ing a fixed amount per annum, the
director will advise them regarding his
ability to meet this sum by. an equal
one from the federal appropriation 1t
is believed that this can be done for
and can probably be done hereafter,
assuming that the customary appropria;,
| ton by congress toward the United
States topographic surveys continue
| to be made annually
These topographic surveys or hydro
graphic surveys of northern rivers, to-
ward increasing their discharge, must
be made by the permanent civil service
force, Of the government. They will be
made however. in order of priority in
such localities as the Minnesota officials
| indicate and in such manner as exist
| inc LEGISLATION will permit.

Law and Order League at Winona

Special TO The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Winona, Mimi, Jan. ia move
ment for the promotion of the moral
welfare of Winona, which has been agi.
tated in a quiet manner for several
weeks past, was brought to public at
tention yesterday in several churches
when it was announced that a law and
order league had been organized and an
invitation extended to the congrega-
lions to become members.
The immediate purpose Of the organi-
zation is the enforcement Of the law re.
garding the saloons of the city. When
this has been effected, other matters
will be investigated. At present, Wi
mona saloons keep wide open on Sun
days. The league will not at once re-
quest the city authorities to close the
saloons on that day or enforce the reg
ulation prohibiting the selling of liquor
to minors, but will first attempt to
build up a public sentiment that shall
demand this reform. With this estab.
lished, it is thought the authorities will
be willing to enforce the laws.
Right Rev. Joseph B. Cotter, bishop
| of the diocese of Winona, who in fc--
mer years was a noted temperance lee.
turer, speaking all over the United
States, has consented to head the pres.
emit movement and has accepted the Of
flee of titular president of the league.
All of the offices have not yet been
filed. A committee is now at work Sc
lecting an executive committee that
will assume charge of the work of the
league.

better attained by removing the fec
entirely and by instructing the new
citizen that he owed nothing to any
body for his admission. The federation
recommends that the hurry-up night
session of the courts for naturalization
be prohibited, that the witness indus
try be broken up by limiting the num-
Der of cases in which one person may
testify to five in a single term of court
Further, it is recommended that all
naturalizations be made in open court
in the regular hours, when no other
business is before the court.
1t is to be observed that none Of the
reform measures suggested show any
spirit of hostility toward aliens becom
ing citizens. They are all directed
against the applicant being brought
into citizenship under the surveillance
of political committees. It is a move
ment to guarantee his Independence al
citizen and not to prevent his be
coming such. -

ADJUSTMENTS
Bijou-a Arizona.

Those who fell in love with Arizona.
when 1T was star attraction on the
high priced circuit and would enjoy see
ing it again, will find that it has not
suffered by time or by transfer to the
popular-priced circuit. AS presented
at the Bijou this week, the stirring, Vi
rile drama Of western army life is fully
ptete and satisfying and breathes the
atmosphere of the post and ranch. The
characters for the most part are ably
handled and in one or two places excel
previous pOrtrayals.
Arizona is man IS play and the men
Of the present company completely
overshadow the women. The Sergeant
Kellar of Charles E. Graham is a won
derful character Interpretation, natural
be said of John Drury as Tony Mos
tana, the vaquero. Rapley Holmes as
Henry Candy, the rancher, is good and
is evidently in his natural sphere in the
part. Edwin Farrell as Lieutenant Den
ton does some really fine work, handling
the exciting climaxes with manliness
and finish where one less clever would
overdo and spoil. He might be a
trifle lighter and easier in the first
manly dignity that marks Mr.. Parcels
work is present in that Of Clarence
Heritage as Colonel Bonham. Fulton
Russell as Captain Hodgman is an in
| sidious sort of william and does some
fairly excellent work in the climaxes
but at other times he seems hardly ade
quate. r.
Avis Lobdell as Bonita Candy han
dies her lines well, but lacks in facial
expressions She too often has the sci
look of one waiting to be shot, even il
her little love scenes with the lieuten
ant. Corinne Childs as Lena, and Liz
zie Mccall as Mrs. Candy are very
| good, but it is too bad that the colo
mel g wife died before the show began
| Ber Deane as DR.. Fenlon &does some
pleasing work. and is physically adapt
/ ed to the part. "
f Mention should be made Of the con
sistent properties and Of the other de
tails by which the atmosphere Of tn,
play is created and preserved. The cos
tunes turnout are proper and realistic
and, wonderful to relate, this include
the uniforms. The arms carried b,
the soldiers and others were evidentl,,
selected with some sort Of care, and d
not resemble the results of raid on
junk shop, as is too often the case
Horses are used with far more realisti
results than usual, the parade Of tn
cavalry troop (even tho the nine horse
go by three times) and the escape an
pursuit of Tony being particularly Ell
