CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY
NEW YORK GRAND JURY INDICTS
MEMBERS OF THE ALLEGED
THEATRICAL TRUST.

New York, Feb. 1.-The grand jury

efforts to prevent certain theatrical
enterprises from playing in any other

tracts with the trust to do the book
ing of plays, charging 1913 per cent
of the net receipts for the booking.
The indictment alleges that the so.
called trust controls more than 500 of
the prominent theaters in the country.
It is charged that in these contracts
between the theaters and the mem
bers of the trust" there was a con-
spiracy in restraint Of trade.
Abraham Erlanger and Marc Klaw
appeared in court and were admitted
to bail in $1,000 each.
Pleading to the indictments was
put over for one week. Samuel F.
Nixon and j. Fred Zimmerman are

Should Advertise Bemidii

L. G.. Mcconnell, travelling
passenger agent for the Mil
waukee railroad, spent yester-
day and last night in Bemidji
and left this morning fer other
points IN this part of the state.
Mr.. Mcconnell is an enthusi.
astic admirer of Bemidji and its
many attractions as a summer
resort, and says, concerning the
development of this city along
that line: "You should advertise
your attractions to the outside
world more thoroughly. There
are many people in the middle
south who would come here to
spend the summers if they only
knew of the many good things you
have. You should get busy and
scatter the truth abroad in the
land. The returns would be
many and would greatly surprise
you"

MAIL RATES ARE REDUCED
RAILROADS AGREE TO A coMPRo
MISE ON BILL NOW PEND
ING IN CONGRESS.

Washington, Feb. IA compro-
mise of the proposed reduction in rail-
way mail pay has been agreed upon
between representatives of various
railroads which have mail contracts
and the house committee on post
Offices and. postroads. The railways
were to have hearing before the
committee In opposition to the reduc-
ton, but through Representative
Hedge of Iowa made proposition to
the committee to compromise and
waive hearing. AS originally pre-
pared by the Committee the postoffice
appropriation Bill provided for a S
per cent reduction on all contracts
averaging $4,000 pounds per day; a 10
per cent reduction on all routes aver
aging from $4,000 to $4,000 pounds
per day, and a fiat rate of $1S per ton
per mile per year on all routes averag-
ing more than 10000 pounds per day.
Through Mr.. Hedge the railway men
agreed to accept this cut providing
that the fiat rate on routes over $4,000
pounds a day be increased to $40 a
ton. The committee agreed to in
crease the rate from $18 to $40 and
this was accepted by the railroad
men, who thereupon waived their
right to hearing.
In addition to reducing the price
per ton which railways are to be paid
for hauling mail the committee has
made cut of 100000 in the amount
to be paid to railways for the rent of
mail cars. The committee also de-
oided that the weight Of mail bags
must not hereafter be added to the
weight of mail in computing the
amount carried on the various routes.
At least 100000 will be saved by
the cut which the committee decided
to make in the price per ton for carry.

GROWING BELIEF THAT PREs.
EMIT FRENCH MINISTRY is
NEARING ITS END.
MEMBERS CLASH DURING pEBATI
PREMIER CLEMENcEAU AND MIN.
lsTER OF EDUCATION HOLD
DIVERGENT VIEWS.

Paris, Feb. 1.-The existence Of the
cabinet is believed to be in danger as
result of the clash In the chamber
Of deputies between Premier Clemen-
ceau and Minister Of Education Bri.
and. While the incident was super.
f1cially smoothed over it is learned
that it was the result of radical
divergence Of views regarding the
modus vivendi proposition of the
French bishops. M. BRAND, like his
chief, regards the proposition as be-
Ing unacceptable in it's present form,
but the former believes that the war
with the church has gone far enough
and that if it Is possible to reach an
adjustment the door of Cancellation
should not be closed. M. BRAND takes
the position that negotiations with the
French bishops would not lay the gov
eminent open to the charge of admit
ting itself in the wrong and that in
any event the government should
pause for the purpose Of demonstrat-
ing to the country whether the church
is sincere in its desire to effect a
working arrangement. M. Clemen-
,ceau, on the other hand, as indicated
by his remarks, fatty rejects even the
discussion Of the bishops proposition
and favors the immediate issuance of
circular to the projects notifying
them that the conditions which the
parish priests are authorized to pro.
pose are entirely unacceptable.
Premier Carries His Point.
He will brook no opposition and at
the cabinet meeting held during the
day apparently carried his point, M.
BRAND and Finance Minister Caillaux
being authorized to determine to
whom the gifts and legacies in posses
sion of the church shall ultimately go
in default of the formation of cultural
associations under the law to take
over the church property.
Nevertheless, the announcement at
any moment of the retirement of M.
BRAND from the cabinet would not
cause surprise and if he goes the
WuOAC Iulu1SLly WALL dAA11O0C AASVASC1OAy
follow. The followers Of ex-Premier
Combes have been actively working
to undermine the cabinet, but EXPIRE.
mier Sarrien or M. BRAND, rather
than M. Combes, are considered likely
to be offered the premiership.
The radical newspapers are urging
M. Clemenceau on, insisting that the
pursuance of his policy Of not making
any further concessions to the Vat
lean is his only salvation, The oppo.
sition press regards the cabinet as
doomed. The Echo de Paris remarks:
':The habit of manipulating the over
throw of cabinets Is so irresistible
with M. Clemenceau that he has begun
the work of demolishing his own min
istry."

GUST OLSON COMMITTED
TO THE INSANE ASYLUM
Has Many HaI|ucinations, But Has
Never Exhibited Any Symptoms
of Violent Nature.

Gust Olson, who has been a
resident of Blackjack for several
months past, was brought down
from that place yesterday and
after being examined by the
sanity board, was committed to
the asylum at Fergus Falls.
Olson has not been just Fright
for the past three years, but has
never been of a violent nature.
Among one of the strange things
which he has done in the past is
jumping off a boat into Red lake,
seven miles from shore, and at
tempting to swim to the shore.
He has been failing mentally very
rapidly of late. His latest hallu-
cination is that the spirits of his
departed ancestors have corn.
munication with him and that
they have told him all about the
mystery surrounding the Dahl
murders.
Olson was arraigned before
Judge of Pro ate Clark, yester-
day, and a sanitary board, con-
sisting of the Judge and Drs.
Marcum and Henderson, con-
Quoted his examination. He was
taken to Fergus Falls yesterday
afternoon, being placed in the
custody of Deputy Sheriff Sol
berg.

WANTS APPROPRIATION
FOR STATE SANITARIUM
Commercial Club of Walker Will Ask
State for "COin" to Finish
Work.

Walker, Mimi, Feb. la
meeting of the Commercial club
of the village of Walker was held
Thursday evening in the dining
room of the Chase hotel, nearly
every business man in the village
being present. The election of
new officers for the coming year
are as follows: President, P. M.
McGarry; secretary, F. A. Dare;
treasurer, f. B. Davis.
One of the most important
resolutions of the evening was to
the effect that the citizens and
especially the Commercial club
make special effort to induce
the legislature for an appropria-
tion sufficient to carry on the
splendid and much needed work
at the state sanitarium. It
seems that there is not at the
present time a sufficient amount
of funds appropriated to CON-
plete the work that has been so
well begun and which means so
much to the state at large. If
an appropriation is not forthcom-
ing at the hands of the state
legislature in the near future
there is a possibility that the
completion of the santa rum will
go over for another two years.
This condition of affairs would be
most deplorable, and it is to be
hoped that the matter will be
taken care of by the state legis-
lature.

Minneapolis Apartment House Fired
by Thieves.
Minneapolis, Feb. 1.-The police be-
lieve that the apartment house at Go
615 Eighth street was fired at 2 a. m.
for the purpose of robbery. The fire
was extinguished before damage Of
any consequence was done.
Several bundles of cotton were
found blazing in the basement and a
torch that had been used to ignite the
cotton was found nearby.
Suspicion was aroused when F. w.

apartment, grappled with stranger
whom he intercepted going into a
closet on the first floor. The intruder
slipped out of his overcoat and es.

The police were notified and went

TO VISIT FRENCH CAPITAL.
King and Queen Of England Will
Spend a Week in Paris.

London, Feb. liking Edward and
Queen Alexandra are going to spend a
week in Paris before the opening Of
parliament Their majesties start
Feb. 2, returning probably Feb. 9. The
king will be the guest of Sir Francis
L. BERTHE at the British embassy,
while the queen will stay with the
Earl and Countess de Grey, who have
a residence in the French capital.
There had been no previous hint Of
the trip, which is described officially
as purely personal and private. It is,
however, recalled that the previous
visits of King Edward to Paris have
been followed by the strengthening of
the Anglo-French understanding and
the general impression Is that the in
terviews which will doubtless occur
between the king and President Fal-
Heres and the foreign and other
French ministers during his stay at
the French capital will assist in the
extension of the understanding which
some observers believe will ultimately
result in an Anglo-French military
convention.

important message From Premier to
Russian Officials.
st. Petersburg, Feb. Premier
stolypin has issued an important cir
cular to the governors general, gov
errors and projects of Russia and the
Caucasus, emphasizing the govern
ment's desire to cooperate amicably
with parliament, which the premier
considers must be the main factor in
the regeneration OF Russia After
commenting on the efforts of certain
factions to misrepresent the inten-
tons of the government in order to
insure the election Of opposition mem
bers of parliament the premier points
out that the representatives of the
crown are forbidden to take part in
party politics and urges the local au-
thorities to assure full freedom in the
elections. At the same time, he adds,
they must always interpose against
the revolutionary propaganda and
deny false reports regarding the plans
of the government.
The circular asserts lat while fully
bearing in mind the right of parlia-
ment in regard to legislation the vot-
ing of estimates and interpretations,
the government intends steadfastly to
adhere to the existing laws, as strict
observance of them is the only way
by which the confidence of the sover-
eign in the government and parlia-
ment can be preserved.
Proceeding, the premier refers to
the "falseness of the rumors crediting
the government with the intention Of
dissolving the new parliament and re.
turning to the system of government
which had been rejected by the en-
peror." 80, e,.
