a report in which he said: 1T is i'm
possible to measure the good which this

unsolved problems of transportation. but
all of which must be solved by the Ameri-
can people, who never have failed in any
emergency, and they will not feil now to
settle and establish equitable relations be-
tween shipper, passenger and carrier"

surrender may inure to the profit of the
whole country"

Frank DeebaCh Married..

The last issue of the Cass Lake
Times has the following account Of
the wedding of Frank Deebach, of
Cass Lake, who was at one time last
winter in the employ of the Pioneer:
Last Wednesday occurred the
wedding of Frank Deebach, foreman
in the Times office, to Miss Pearl
Markee, both of this village. The
marriage ceremony was performed
at Bemidji, where the parties went
for a brief honeymoon, returning on
Thursday to attend to duties. This
is the third marriage that the Times
office has enjoyed since it's estab-
lishment, which provokes US to
remark that if you want to get
spliced" enlist in the service of the
Times"
The editor of the Pioneer can
vouch as to the desirability of the
Times Office as a place where en-
ployes can get "spliced," as we we're
foreman of the Times at the time
we were "spliced," and Judge Ives
acted as a sort of master of cere-
monies of that momentous event in
our career.

GERMANY WILL CONSENT.
Makes Reservations Regarding Polio.
ina of Morocco.

Berlin, Sept. 9.-Germany's reply to
Frances circular note to the sigma
tories of the Algeciras convention will
not be drawn up for several days. It
is understood in the most influential
quarters that Germany will not give
a negative reply to the suggestion
that the international Moroccan police
be temporarily constituted from purely
French and Spanish elements. Some
reserves, however, will certainly be
made on the subject. 1t is fully un-
derstood here that the present situa-
ton at Casa Blanca and Mazagan was
not foreseen at the time the Algeciras
convention was drawn up and re-
quires to be specially dealt with, but
Germany will consent for the moment
to rely on French loyalty to the en-
gagements entered into. No limita-
ton, therefore, is likely to be placed
ON the French military movements so
long as they are considered to be nee
essary for the security of Europeans
and OF the Moroccan ports.

MAC" Is All Right.

Rowe McCamus, the bright young
editor of the Brookston Herald took
occasion in the last issue of his
splendid little paper to assure the
residents of Brookston that he was
not knocking" his town or anything
that pertained to the welfare of
Brookston or her citizens. Anyone
with a grain of sense who has read
the Herald since Rowe established
the publication know that few
people outside the corporate limits
of Brookston would have been aware
of the fact that Brookston was on
the map had it not been for the very
generous boosting" of the Herald.

FIXES PROPER WAY
Peace Conference Discusses the
Opening Of Hostilities.
DUTIES OF NEUTRAL STATES

Sitting Also Approves With Some Re.
serves the Agreements Concerning
Non-Combatants on Land and Sea
In Time of War.
The Hague, Sept. 9.-The fifth
plenary sitting of the peace confer
ence, M. Nelidoff presiding, met dur
ing the morning in the Knights hall.
The delegates were not so numerous
as on the occasion of former sittings,
several of them having temporarily
left The Hague while awaiting a de-
bate on more important questions.
The whole American delegation was
present. -
The following rules regarding the
opening of hostilities were adopted, a
few countries making reservations:
"The contracting powers agree that
hostilities must not begin without
previous unequivocal notice having
been given, either in the form of a
declaration of war, setting forth it's
motives, or in the form of an ultima
tum with a conditional declaration of
war.
"A state Of war must be notified
without delay to the neutral powers,
the effect for the latter beginning
after they receive notice, which can
be given even by wire. In any case
the neutral powers cannot protest
against the lack Of this notice if it is
established that they undoubtedly
knew that state Of war existed"
Rights and Duties of NeutraIs.
The sitting also approved, with
some reserves, the agreements con-
corning the rights and duties of neu-
trail states in time of war. The land
rules include the following:
"The territory of neutral states is
1nviolable.
"Belligerents cannot establish wire
less telegraph stations in neutral ter
ritory or any other means of com.
munication with belligerent forces on
land or sea.
"Volunteers cannot be enlisted or
body of combatants formed in neu-
trail territory.
1.-THE expectation of provisions from
neutral states and the transport of
provisions for belligerents are for
hidden.
"Belligerents are allowed to use
means of communication belonging to
neutrals or private companies.
"Prisoners who escape to neutral
territory if recaptured by troops must,
after having asked for refuge in a
neutral state, be set free.
"A neutral state can defend it's neu.
trality by force without this constitut-
ing an act of hostility"

Northome "Wa|Ioped" Blackjack.

Northome, Mimi, Sept. g..
Especial to Pioneer.)-The local
baseball team, which has made an
enviable record for itself this season
by cleaning up everything in it's
class that it has went up against,
again demonstrated it's superiority
over all corners by walloping the
Blackjack aggregation of ball tossers
on the local diamond Sunday after
noon by the overwhelming score of
20 to 3.
The visiting team put up a very
ragged exhibition of ball and the
contest was simply a walk-away for
the locals.
Scribner, the local slab artist,
again showed his efficiency in the
box, allowing the visitors but three
hits and striking out twelve men.
The local team has been playing
fast ball all season and still has it's
first game to loose.

a trial of speed across the Atlantic
between the swiftest ocean steamer
with reciprocating engines flying the
British flag and the largest turbine
steamer. Both vessels will call at
Queenstown, but the Lusitania will not

MURDER and SUICIDE.
Wife Of Wealthy Broker Dead and
Husband Dying.


Chicago, Sept. 9.-Mrs. Fred NJ
Fish, the wife of a wealthy retired
broker, was found murdered in her
home at Evanston, ILL.,, early in he
day. Her husband, with his throat
cut, was found unconscious on the
floor of the bedroom in which the body
Of Mrs. Fish was lying. 1t is the opin-
ion of the police that Fish murdered
his wife and then attempted to COM
nit suicide. He was hurried to
hospital, but has not yet recovered
consciousness and it is doubtful if he
RECEIVERS sufficiently to make state
ment.
The cause of the tragedy is un-
known. Mr.. and Mrs. Fish were heard
by their neighbors in a violent alter
cation late at night and it is believed
that Fish arose early in the day and,
after discharging a shotgun into his
wife's head, hacked her in a horrible
fashion with a butchers cleaver. A
servant girl who was in the house
declared that she heard the report of
a shotgun and the cleaver with which
Mrs. Fish was mangled was found ly-
ing beside the bed
Fish had been for twenty years as

CIVIL WAR imminent
Rival Sultans Of Morocco Will
Settle Right to Throne.
ARMIES LEVIED IN HASTE

Ancient City of Rabat, on the Atlantic
Coast, Promises to Be the Scene Of
the First Engagement in the Strug.
gle for Supremacy.
Tangier, Morocco, Sept. 9.-Events
In Morocco are marching on with great
rapidity. Both the sultans, Abdel Aziz
and Mulai Haig, are reported to be
leaving the rival capitals, Fee and
Morocco City, at the head of armies
which had been levied in hot haste
and which may decide within a fort
night the destiny of Mcrocco's mon
archy. The immediate objective of
these forces is the ancient city of Ra-
bat, on the Atlantic seaboard, the
prior possession of which great center
Of Western Islam's national life prob
ably would have an important if not
a decisive bearing upon the struggle
for supremacy. Half way between Fee
and Morocco City the city of Rabat is
the natural frontier port, dividing
Northern and Southern Morocco, and
there the dramatic interest of the sit
uation for the moment eliminates.
Both sultans are sons of the same
father and they are daily issuing pas
sionate appeals to the patriotism and
religious enthusiasm of the nation,
each denouncing his rival as being
worse than an infidel and traitor to
Islam.
In the meanwhile the powers have
not yet decided whether to recognize
Mulai Hafig, his correct name, as sui
tan of the South, seemingly awaiting
results Of the appeal to the arbitra-
ment OF civil war.
The general impression here, based
upon kilograms from London and
Paris. IL that France and Spain have
resolved upon the immediate occupa-
ton of all the Moroccan seaports,
which has caused universal consterna-
tioD, for it is feared by those who
best know the character Of the MoOrs
that any extension Of the intervention
Of France and Spain will infallibly
provoke further massacres of Chris
tians and Jews in the various towns
on the coast. In other words, sit
uation has developed which never was
contemplated at the time of the Alge'
ciras convention and it appears that
serious events will follow.
