Duluth, Sept. IA. - A damp wind
from Lake Superior has turned the

Although no deaths have been re-

A crew of $50 men left home yester-
day morning by steamer for Grand
Marais to fight the flames. They will
be at work to-day and by back-firing

ARMY lASSIF READS
BIBLE; IS ARRESTED
SALVATIONISTS CONTINUE TO
FIGHT
Because of Fact That Amended Ordl-
nance Was Not Advertised,
Those Previously Held
Are Released

Owing to the fact that the amended
ordinance prohibiting public speaking
in the downtown or business district
did not legally go into effect until yes
terday the members of the Salvation
army arrested by the police Wednes-
day and Thursday nights were dis
| charged in police court yesterday morn
| ing.
y Arrests of members of the organiza-
| ton were made last night, however,
when attempts were made to speak on
the streets within the prescribed dis
tricts and the prisoners with but two
exceptions were placed in Jail for the
night, they having declined bail.
The first arrest last night was made
at Fourth street and Broadway by
Patrolmen Neighbors, Scofield and Ma
tuskiwiz. Mrs. e. w. Campbell, mayor
commanding the corps, was the person
arrested at this point. She protested
at her arrest, drawing the distinction
that she was merely reading the Bible
and had not attempted to speak. She
was booked on a misdemeanor charge
and turned over to the care of the
matron of the jail.
A crowd numbering from 1900 to 1000
persons witnessed the arrest and as
usual jeered and hooted at the police
while they were clearing the sidewalks
and making the arrest.
On Main street between First and
Second streets Patrolmen Harrison and
Lemon made the arrests. While there
was a large crowd present there was
no hooting at the police by the spec
tators, but some of them were little
slow in moving away at the order of
the police and one, Clarence Allison,
was arrested for blockading the side
walk and refusing to move when or
dered.
The members of the Salvation army
arrested here were Mrs Grace Webster,
Mrs. Bertha Muir, Elma e. Bailey, ].
M. Smith, Louis Siles, George A. oliver,
John Klann and James Muir Mrs.
Muir and j. NJ Smith were released on
bail. The others were placed in jail.
All were charged with a misdemeanor
and will be arraigned in police court
this morning.
