DARING H0LDUP SUCCESSFUL
Masked Men Secure Big Sum in Hot
Springs Clubhouse.

Masked Men Secure Big Sum in Hot
Springs Clubhouse.
Hot Springs, Ark, April 24.-Four
masked men with levelled revolvers
entered the clubhouse Of the Indiana
club on Central avenue, forced the
occupants to line up alongside the
wall and looted the place of a large
amount of money. The occupants
were then locked in a room and the
robbers escaped. No definite state
ment concerning the amount Of money
taken can be secured, but it is esti-
mated between $4,000 and $4,000
The Indiana club is located along
the mountainside. House detectives
are employed to prevent any interior
ence with the amuse ment of the mem
bers. Notwithstanding the vigilance
of the guard four masked robbers
made entrance from the mountainside
through window and quickly lined
the occupants up against the WALL A
number Of guests of the various hotels
were in the clubhouse at the time.
No Individual was robbed of his
money, the robbers devoting them
selves to looting the club funds. After
gathering up all the money in sight
the robbers forced the occupants to
enter small room and the door was
locked. The robbers fled and so
quietly wa the robbery conducted
that perso in the cafe were I'M
aware of proceeding. One man
finally crawled over the transom from
the locked room and then liberated
his companions. The alarm was at
once given and the police were called
on to search for the robbers.

COMMISSION WILL HOLD
HEARING in THIS CITY
Will Consider Application of N. & |.
Ry. to Change Rates on Ship
ping PuIpwood. ~.

The Minnesota Railroad & Ware
house commission will hold hear
ing in Bemidji on Tuesday May
5th, at which time will be heard
arguments of the officials of the M.
& |. railway company and dealers
in pulpwood on the application
made by the M. & I. people to the
commission requesting authority
for the railway officials to cancel
the special rate which is now in
vogue for pulpwood and to substi-
tute therefor their present rates on
cordwood.
AS the change requested would be
a very material advance in the
charge for transporting pulpwood,
an emphatic protest has been filed
with the commission by all dealers
In this north country. The COM
mission at first had decided on hold
ing the meeting at Brainerd, but
it being presented to the board that
Bemidji was more centrally located
in the pulpwood producing country,
Bemidji was decided upon as the
place for the hearing.
It is expected that large num-
Der of dealers in pulpwood will be
present at the meeting.

WOULD VETO NAVAL BILL
Congress Must Make Appropriation
for Two BattIeships.

Washington, April 24-President
Roosevelt will veto the naval appro-
priation bill should the senate fail, as
did the house, to make any appropria-
ton for the two battleships which are
authorized in the measure.
The president stated his position on
this point with usual emphasis and
suddenness upon learning that the
bill, as passed by the house, was sim
ply paper" provision for naval in
crease. Authorization of the ships
was made, but no money carried to
make the provision effective.
Such legislation as this, the presi-
dent made known to his numerous
congressional callers, was a travesty
as to effectiveness as we'll as bearing
the earmar'zs of legislative legerde-
main, intended to make ridiculous his
campaign for the greater navy.

To Editor Pioneer:

Notice of special school cleo
ton has been posted, the proposition
being the purchase of Block ID" for
a school site. The notices call for
the purchase of the block from the
funds now in the school treasury,
and not to issue bonds, as was
stated in the Evening News"
AS we understand the situation,
the petition for the election was
signed by some of our heaviest tax
payers and most highly respected
citizens. This fact should have
some weight in deciding how to vote
on the proposition.
1t is believed by some that this is
the most available sight that can
now be secured, and it should be
obtained at once, before the price
raises skyward.
This may not be our choice of a
site, but a school building cannot
be located to satisfy all and we must
all acknowledge that it is not bad
site.

Now, voters of Bemidji, cannot we
for once, lay aside any and all per-
sonallties and use our best judg-
ment and give Bemidji what she
deserves and is in absolute need Of
a new and modern school building?
It has now been put off so long
that it would be almost impossible
to select a site and raise the money
and have the building erected by
the opening of school.
Shall we wait longer? 1t seems
that in this case the old adage,
"Procrastination is the thief of time"
is too true.
Now then let us not vote against
some proposition because we think
someone else is boosting for it.

to buy a site for the Mill Park
school, but as we read on further we
found that they proposed to revive
one of the propositions recently
turned down by the taxpayers, and
thereby spend $4,000 of the lately
discovered surplus in purchasing the
tract of land 400 feet west of the
court house.
Not being in the confidence of
the originators Of this idea it is
difficult to figure out just what their
object is, unless it be to dissipate
some of the newly found funds, or
it may be they think that if they
are allowed to purchase the block re-
ferred to, they can use it as basis
of a proposition to sell some school
bonds later, on. The purchase of
this block of land would undoubtedly
be followed by another call for
bonds.
If the board of education really
desire to build a school house, why
do they not accept the advice of
the architect who drew the plans of
their proposed High School and
locate it on the north east corner of
the present High School square,
and thereby save $4,000 for the tax
payers, on the first cost of the build
ing, and probably $4,000 per annum
in the future maintenance of the
two buildings?
1t is the opinion of many of our
citizens that school house adequate
for all the needs of the district for
many years to come can be erected
on the grounds referred to, without
adding one cent to our debt.
Why don't the school board get
busy" and build a school house with
their money and not seek an oppor-
tunity to invest it in Bemidji Town
site company's lands? School rooms
are needed more than lands.
There are so many propositions
confronting the taxpayers of our
city, at this time, for the people to
consider that it behooves us to set
up and take notice of each case
very carefully before we make the
plunge.
There is an expensive bridge in
prospect, to build over the Missis-
sippi river, and an enlargement and
extention of our water system that
no one yet can even guess the cost
of, and many other prospects in en-
bryo awaiting the physiological
moment to spring them upon the
public. Therefore let us be very
careful how, and where we use the
money now in the treasury and also
refuse to authorize the issue of un-
necessary bonds. "

sition relative to school matters; but
it does not necessarily follow that
we are in sympathy with the opinions
expressed by the writer's thereof
Editor.)
Bemidji, April p.
To the Editor
It would seem to an unprejudiced
observer that school meetings are
liable to become epidemic in our
city.
Our board of education have been
endeavoring for about six months
to convince their constituents,
through the medium of special school
meetings, that it was desirable to
bond the district in the various
amounts ranging from SIS, 1000 down
to $4,000, for the purpose of erect
ing school buildings. Their efforts
so far have been unsuccessful, on
account of the vigilance of the vot-
ing taxpayers.
From the last notice of call of
meeting to be held May 1, it appears
that if they are not allowed to have
some bonds to sell they now want
permission to buy some real estate.
Notwithstanding the fact that this
school sites in the city, almost
within a stones throw of each other.
When we began to read the notice
it was at first thought they wanted
