Guiding Japanese pupils from the

again the negotiations that were al
ready in progress with the japanese
government looking to the regulation

United States. II is expected that the
negotiations will result in an agree
ment between the government of Jap
an and that of the United States, with
holding by the former of passports to
Japanese of the laboring classes seek
ing to enter the United States. For
several years past the Japanese gov
eminent has declined to issue any
such passports, but the intention is to
make this a matter of formal agree
ment if possible. In the short time
remaining of the present session Of
congress it is not possible, ii is said
to frame anything in the nature of a
treaty which would require the action
of the senate. In fact, it is by no
means certain that a formal conven-
ton is necessary to insure the con
tinuance of the present Japanese pol
icy of refusing passports to the
United States to coolies so it may be
decided to give this agreement an
other form than a treaty.
The basis of the agreement reached
between President Rockwell, Secre-
tary Root. Mayor Schmitz and the
members of the San Francisco school
board on the Japanese school con-
troversy provides that "all children
of alien races under sixteen years OF
age, who speak the English language,
may be admitted to the white schools.

for children of alien birth who are
deficient in the elements of the Eng
lish language"

CONFESSES THAT HE FIRED
SHOT, KILLING HIS BROTHER
Mystery Cleared Up Relative to Death Of Ralph Grundyson
at Accidental and Boys Made Pact
Not to Tell the Truth.

Grundy returned at once to his
home and left the gun, before mott
flying anyone of what had hap
pened. The gun was an old affair
that had been lying around the
house for years, and had been thought
incapable of carrying a bullet.
After having told the minister of
his part in the death of his brother,
Grundy was easily lead to give the
details to Marshall Holt, as recount
ed in the foregoing. Coroner Ches-
terman stated this afternoon that at
the inquest held by him at Fosston
in the case, both the mother of the
dead boy and his brother, Grundy,
maintained that they knew nothing
of who fired the shot, and testified
that there was no gun. or rifle of
any kind on the Grundyson premises
which the boys might have got hold
of. Now comes the confession of
the brother in contradiction to all
this. How much better it would
have been had he told a straight
story at the start. 1t is unlikely that
anything further will be done in the
case.
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1907-10-10

Crookston Times: The mystery
is mystery no longer. Yesterday
at Fosston, Grundy Grundysen, the
14-year-old brother of Ralph Grundy-
sen, who was killed by a rifle bullet
on the 9th of last month while in
the woods near Fosston with the
former, admitted to Marshall Holt
that he had fired the shot which
caused Ralph's death. 1t will be
remembered that Ralph is said to
have made a statement just before
his death, following closely the
shooting, that the deed was done by
" a strange man with black whiskers"
who was near at the time. Sus-
picion was directed at once to a GER
tain wild man" who had been in
the neighborhood for several days,
and steps were taken at once to
arrest him. This was done but no
proof could be brought against him
and he was released. This is the
man who has been terrorizing the
women folk of Olberg for the past
few weeks.
Coroner Chesterman, when called
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1907-10-10

to Fosston to investigate the shoot
ing, decided that no inquest was
necessary, as it bore every evidence
of having been accidental, a stray
bullet probably having come that
way. Later, Mr.. Chesterman had
the body disinterred, and an inquest
was held-with no results. 1t had
begun to look as if the matter would
never be cleared up when a clue
was given by a Mrs. Cormontan,
OF Fosston, who recently asserted
that she had seen Grundy with a
rife few minutes after the shoot
ing had occurred. This led to a
close watch of the boy, and yester-
day minister of the church which
the boy attends, Rev. J. O. Saeter,
took G1undy to the scene of the
accident, and there secured from
him a full confession to the effect
that he had shot his brother wholly
unintentionally, and that the two
had agreed between them before
Ralph's death, and at Ralph's sug-
gestion, that neither would ever tell
how it happened or who did the
shooting.
