INDIANS ARE MOVING YOUNG IS AMBfTI0USIT
More Mile Laos BloodS ara
Taken to White Earth
Reservation

Journal Press 4 Thos. Beaulieu
came in from Mora this morning with
family of eight C1ippewaa, en- route
to White Earth. He estimates that
there are about 500 Indians at Mile
Laos and vicinity, but does not know
how long it will take them all tc be
transferred TO White Earth. He pre-
diets, however, that a large number
will 90 up IN the sprlng-it being too
cold to tske many of them at this
time. Those who went to White
Earth year or two ago are well
located and contented.
Mr.. Bsaulieu SAYS that Lawrence on
Mile Laos lake is enjoying a bcom on
the prospect of the 500 railroad.
Foley Bros. and Hall Bros. are
already on the ground, having pur-
chased a mill, and are making con
tracts for large amount of hard
wood lumber, and Lawrence will be
one of the busiest places on the map
in short time.

BRYAN ON UNIONS.
Believes They are the Greatest Agent
 fog Good.

Chicago. March 1s.-William Jen- nings Bryan, at the closing conference yesterday, in connection with the in dustrial exhibit. expressed the opinion that trade unions have done more good for society than any other force in this country.
 Although he disclaimed any "scien- tiflc" knowledge of the question, MT. Bryan's remarks were received with much satisfaction by the audience of union men from the Federation of Labor, which attended the meeting.
 The unions have made some mis- takes, but they have accomplished more good" was the keynote of his speech |. He paid a tribute especially to to the organization of women in this con- nection.
 "when we consider that through trade unions wages have been in- creased hours shortened and comfort afforded the working men in greater measure,"; he said, T think we have right to say the benefits resulting from these unions cannot be over estimated. Perhaps no other force in the country ever has been so enective for improvement in the citizenship and general moral qualities of our people
 The Australian ballot system, for one thing, is largely due in this coup- | try to the agitation of the trade unions almost feel safe in saying that had I 1t not been for the interest taken in 1 this reform by these organizations, we might still be employing the cid sys- | tenn of voting.
 If the labor union had never done anything else than raise the age limit | of employment for children in the mines and factories in this nation. believe that accomplishment alone would justify it's existence. No infu- | ence in this country ever has been SC l evil in its effects as the tendency to | crowd our workshops with children Of tender years. It is most destructive tendency and one that the public con science should protest against"
 Referring to women in industry, MT Bryan said he believed women nigh accomplish as much as men througt | organization into unions.

DELAYS IT oNLYFEw MOMENTS

An accident which might have re- suited in wrecking a heavily loaded passenger train on the Western Rail- way of Alabama. at Madison Park, shortly before noon yesterday, only Temporarily crippled the air brakes and stopped the train about fifteen minutes.
 Running an hour behind schedule time, at a rate of forty or fifty miles an hour. passenger train No. 35, due in Montgomery from Atlanta at 1O:55 o'clock, was rounding the curve at Madison Park, seven miles from the city, when 1t encountered an angle plate which had inadvertently been left lying Iengthwise the rail.
 The plate flew up and broke one of the connections of the air brakes pipes, bringing the train to 8 stop. The damaged part was repaired in about fifteen minutes and the train proceed cd to Montgomery
 Officials of the road investigated the incident and found that the angle plate had been carelessly left on the track by one of a gang of men who are at work on the road in that vicinity. It is believed by railroad men that the obstacle. no matter in what position 1t could have been placed on the tracks would not have been sufficient to cause 8 disastrous wreck.
 Rumors were spread in the city by persons who arrived on the train, that the accident was the result of an at- tempt to wreck the train, but this is emphatically denied by ocifials of the road.
