PLOT TO MURDER
FORT THWARTED
Internal Machine for the Gov
ernor Of New Jersey.

Seagirt, N. J., Sept. 12.-An attempt
to assassinate Governor Fort of New
Jersey has been thwarted by the care
fulness of postof1ce employees, WHO
discovered in the mails an Internal
machine addressed to the governor.
The package was a cleverly contrived
combination of powder, bullets and
matches, which had been so arranged
that had the governor opened it in the
ordinary way there is little doubt it
would have killed him. The attitude
taken by the governor when he direct
ed that the excise and other similar
laws at Atlantic City be strictly en-
forced and even threatened to order
out the militia if necessary to the end
aroused great resentment in some
quarters. 1t was to guard the gov
ernor as much as possible from any
annoyance arising from the affair that
an unusual watch was put on his mail.
Several days ago an inspector wrote
Governor Fort informing him that
package of suspicious appearance ad
dressed to him was being held at the
Office The inspector asked for and
received permission to open the pack
age, the result being that the Internal
machine was exposed.

LOSS or 100000 RESULTS
Fire Destroys Plant of st. Paul Lum-
Der Company.

Fire in the plant of the Gribben
Lumber company at st. Paul caused
loss of 100000 to the company and
owners of adjacent property. The fire
spread with amazing rapidity, for the
material on which it fed was as dry
as finder. When the fire department
arrived the entire yard, with build
ings, was afiame.
The fire jumped the street to a large
apartment house just as torrent of
rain came to the aid of the depart
ment. This saved the lumber COM
pany's brick Office buildings and the
stores of the Spindler Hardware COM
pany, the Davenport Drug company
and the Hugo Herman Clothing COM
pany.
J. p Gribben estimates his loss at
$4,000, with insurance at $4,000.
The other losses fell on the Lasbury
and Bass apartment houses and the
Herzog Iron company.

CHANGE IN SENTIMENT.

Congressman Halyor Steiner
son of Crookston, was visitor at
Republican State headquarters IN
St Paul today, comforting with
Chairman Brown and Secretary
Martin.
There is a very decided
change in political sentiment in
the Ninth district" said Mr..
Stevenson in an interview, com
pared with two years ago. Many
who were Johnson Republicans,
are now lined up for the Repub-
iican ticket from top to bottom.
1t is generally recognized in my
district at least, that Johnson is
not running for governor this
year for any other reason than
to carry the Democratic party
and Bryan, if possible, through
the coming election in Minnesota.
No Republican can vote for him
this fall as a candidate who is
supporting the Rooseve1tian plat
form and beliefs. Johnson can
not parade letter from Roose-
welt this time, as he did two
years ago, to catch Republican
votes. He is now, and must SO
stand, an out and out apostle Of
Democracy and things Demo-
cratic, including Bryan and Bry-
anism this time, instead of Roose-
welt and Roosevcltian platforms.
In the Ninth district | find
that Jacobson is especially strong
throughout the rural districts.
Jacobson has been the choice Of
the farmers for several years for
governor. They now have him,
and will stand by him. This be
ing presidential year, voters will
not allow personalities to infu-
ence their votes. They recognize
that national issues are at stake.
"Brvan's speech at Crookston

actually lost ground there for
Democracy. Thousands of people
were there to hear him. and wait

Equal Terms.

Richmond, Va, Sept. 1S.-Declaring
that railroad must give all shippers
the same transportation treatment

the cars it carries the United States
circuit court of appeals reversed the
decision of the United States circuit
court of Maryland in the suit of the
Pitcairn Coal company against the

the Cumberland and Pennsylvania
Railroad company, the Paramount Coal
company and thirty other coal com
panies.
The compliments alleged that they
were Disseminated against in the dis
tribuuion of coal cars by the defend
ants, especially the Baltimore and

opinion, held that the interstate COM
MERGE law "casts upon the carrier the
plain duty of furnishing fair and
equal distribution of car facilities and
this duty cannot be evaded by the car
rier claiming that it is not the owner
of portion of the cars carried over
its lines"
The case was remanded to the Mary

But Minnesota Towns Are In No
Immediate Danger.
SITUATION on MEsABA RANGE
Flames Have Reached a Stage
Who're They Are No Longer
Considered Dangerous.

While forest fires are still raging
along the north shore of Lake Superior
it is believed they have passed the
danger point SO far as the threatened
destruction of villages is concerned.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of good timber is being de-
stroyed, however.
Grand Marais, Chicago Bay, Hove
lard, Big Bay, Pigeon River and other
smaller settlements Immediately along
the shore are thought to be safe. The
situation on the Mesaba range is also
greatly improved and the flames In
that territory have now reached a
stage where they are no longer con-
sidered dangerous to the different
towns.
Under orders from General C. G..
Andrews, state fire warden, Chief
Black of the Duluth fire depart
ment sent forty men to the scene of
the worst forest fires above Grand
Marais on board the Booth line steam
er America. They were hired through
the state free employment bureau.
The men were placed under the direc-
tion of Secretary Wilson of the local
fire department. Although the settle
ments are no longer in immediate dan
ger there will be plenty of work for
these men, for it will be their purpose
to save as much timber from destruc-
tion as possible.
The refugees picked up at different
points along the shore and taken to
Grand Marais have been returned to
their homes by the Gopher, an indica-
ton that all is now considered safe

A Remarkable Occurrence

The Office of attorney general
is one of the most important in
the state, and it is also one of the
most attractive to lawyers. Two
terms in this position means a
lucrative practice ever after.
Seldom has it occurred that a
man was nominated to this posi-
ton for a first term without OBJ
position, and the fact that the
Republican candidate this wear
George T. Simpson of Winona,
was so chosen, speaks volumes
for the confidence of his fellow
citizens and the esteem of his
brother practitioners.

FURTHER ARRESTS LIKELY
Others Implicated in Gigantic Alberti
Frauds

Copenhagen, Sept. 1S.-Further de-
velopments in the Alberti frauds are
expected to come to light any day and
it is believed that through them other
prominent persons will be implicated.
The police are keeping these persons
under surveillance. 1t is believed that
M. Albert, who formerly was Danish
minister of justice, soon will make
another confession justifying the ar
rest of the persons now under sus-
picion.
1t is presumed also that Albert had
accomplices in London since the hand
writing of the fa1sified accounts of his
butter business has strong English
characteristics. 1t is believed here
that Alberti has a fortune slowed
away in the safe deposit boxes of vari-
Gus English banks.

Columbia, S. c., Sept. 14.-Eleven
