for the spirit of fair play, and makes
impossible patient and honorable Of

There is. the Governor declares, n

Likes Look OF Our Lands.

W. F. Cole of St. Paul, presi.
dent OF the North American Land
Securities company, has been IN
the city the past three days, the
guest of W. R. TAFT, who with
A. A. Carter, is the local repre-
sentative of the company.
Mr.. Cole has visited several of
the many pieces Of property
which the company owns in this
and Clearwater county, and ex-
presses himself as we'll pleased
with the cut over lands Of this
part of the state. He is con-
vinced that these lands will find
ready sales as the eyes of the
land-hungry are turned this way
and we may expect to see many
from the southern part of this
state and Iowa here during the
next few months, looking for
lands.

Thoroughly Reliable.

If ever there was reliable
and safe remedy it is chat old

Allcock's. It has been in use
for sixty years, and is as popular
today as ever, and we doubt if
there is a civilized community on
the face Of the globe where this
wonderful pain reliever cannot
be found. In the selection of
the ingredients and in their man.
ufacture the greatest care is
taken to keep each plaster up to
the highest standard of excel
lence, and so pure and simple
are the ingredients that even a
child can use them.
Allcock's are the original and
genuine porous plasters ard are
sold by druggists in every part
of the civilized world. ...

Mr.. Blakeley was accom- panied
by Mrs. G. S. Blakeley, wife of

Sunday and will make their home
in this country. G. S. was in
partnership with w. T. at one
time at Island Lake, near Backus
but later left here and invested

vantages offered in Beltrami
county, however, and will make
his home here, hereafter.
Miss Bessie Blakeley, a sister
of W. T. and @. S. came with the
latter and will remain here for
some time.

OPEN LETTER TO THE POPE
Daring Reply of Italian Priests to Gen.
....- sure of Vatican.

Rome, May 30.-A group of Italian
priests has issued remarkable open
letter to the pope. 1t is daring re-
ply to the censure uttered by his holt
ness in his allocution Of April II
against the most modern school Of
ecclesiastics and it accuses the pom
tiff of violating the rights of con-
science in his treatment Of Father
Murri and Of other priests.
Father Murri was suspended from
the priesthood for criticising the Vat
leans policy. The letter contends
that Roman Catholicism should aban-
don its archaeic position and by rec
ognizing the claims of science and de-
mOcracy regain it's hold on mankind.
1t vindicates the right of the young
men in the church to a certain amount
of liberty in their work for her and
strongly criticises certain pontifical
appointments to high dignities. The
pope is charged also with paralyZing
the work and institutions of his prede
cessor. The writer's of the letter repu-
date the idea of rebellion and appeal
to the pope for wisdom, equity and
clemency.

The magistrate held Becker to the

Becker is accused Of having muir
dered the girl in a field at Elmhurst,
l.. l., last week. He has made several
confessions to the police, telling of
his movements on the day in question,
and has also denied them. He re-
peated his confession in court, giving
much detail and declaring he killed
the girl because she screamed when
he approached her and he feared that
she would give information against
him. Becker insisted upon making his
confession after being warned by the
magistrate that he was under no obli-
cation to make any statement. His
repeated confessions and denials have
convinced the authorities that Becker
is mentally weak and steps may be
taken to have him examined by COM
mission to determine his sanity.

TO FIGHT OIL TRUST
b. Clay Pierce Anxious to Get
After Former Associates.
GATES IN THE NEW DEAL

Plans Of Independent Company In
c!ude a Pipe Line to the Gulf as
Well as the Placing on the Market
of Refined Products.
Kansas City, May 30.-A friend of
H. Clay Pierce is authority for the
statement that the oil magnate is
more than pleased at the result of the
oil investigation by Attorney General
Hadley, which will undoubtedly result
in the Standard, the Waters-Pierce
and the Republic Oil companies being
ousted from doing business in Mis-
souri,. Pierce is planning, so his friends
declare, to enter the field against the
Standard just as soon as the Missouri
decision is handed down. Enforce
ment of the antitrust law by several
states will, it is asserted, give Pierce
and his associates ample protection in
bucking the Standard.
The personal friendship which has
AoA1S CAAStSu OStWSSu I 1SlCt dllu JOllll
w. Gates, together with the fact that
Gates has recently purchased leases
on thousands of acres of oil lands in
the Indian Territory and that both
have recently been trimmed by the
Standard Oil crowd, lends color to the
story.
The Waters-Pierce Oil company
was founded by Pierce and made him
his fortune. He was getting rich rap
idly when the Standard, through al
legged questionable means, secured
large holdings in his company and
gave him the option of becoming
minority stakeholder in his own COM
pany or being driven out Of the field.
For this Pierce has never forgiven the
Rogers crowd
1t is said the continued agitation
against the Standard throughout the
country convinced Pierce that an in
dependent company would be well
coined by the public and that he and
Gates have been framing up the indie
pendent company deal for several
months. The plans of the Gates-Pierce
company include pipe line to the
Gulf, as we'll as the placing on the
market of refined products to compete
with the Standard in every depart
ment of it's gigantic field.

CHARTER WILL BE REVOKED
Brewery Workers Reject Ultimatum
of Federation of Labor.

-.. OF Fe0efaTlOn OF IapOr.
Cincinnati, May 30.-The executive
board of the international Union Of
Brewery Workmen, which has been
engaged for the past three days at the
headquarters in this city in compiling
the vote of the local unions through
out the United States and Canada on
the ultimatum submitted by the Amer
lean Federation of Labor relative to
jurisdiction over the engineers and
firemen employed in breWeries, has
announced that the count is prac-
tically closed and that the vote cast
was against giving up jurisdiction.
The mandate Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, as originally pro-
mulgated, required that on or before
May 10 the National Union of Brew
cry Workmen should renounce it's
claims to jurisdiction over the engi-
neers and flremen. This time was ex-
tended afterward to May % to enable
the Brewery Workers union to take
referendum vote Of it's total mem
bership.
1t is understood that not more than
1000 votes out of total membership
Of about 10000 have been cast in favor
of accepting the dictum Of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor If the lat
ter carries out it's ultimatum, as it
probably will, the charter of the Inter-
national Union of Brewery >Workmen
will be annulled and revoked on June
1. This extreme measure has never
been put in force before in the vari
Gus jurisdiction controversies between
the American Federation of Labor and
its affiliated national Unions.
