Paris, Nov. The case of Mad
anne Steinheil, who was arrested in
this city Thursday after day of SEN
sational developments in the matter
of the murder of her husband and her
stepmother, Nine. Japy, in this city
last May, has been taken out of the
hands of M. Leydett, the examining
magistrate who has been i'll charge up
to the present, and turned over to
Magistrate Andre Barring this change
of magistrates there have been no
new developments. Madame Steinheil
is still under arrest on the charge of
aiding and abetting in the murder of
her husband and stepmother.
Expert physicians have declared
that Madame Steinheil undoubtedly is
suffering from kind of hysteria Pc
c,liar to a certain class of neuras-
themes which manifests itself in the
Invention of the widest accusations.
There is in full blast campaign by
the nationalist and anti-Semitic press
in an effort to prove that the authori-
ties have had an interest in smother
ing the truth concerning these MUIR
derS.
Although hushed up at the time it
was common knowledge of those be-
hind the scenes that Madame Stein
he'll was with NJ. Faure at the Elysee
palace when Faure died. Some of the
Partisan papers do not hesitate to
print what they term the story of the
liaison. According to these stories M.
Faure had met Madame Steinheil in
the Swiss Alps during the maneuvers
the year previous to his death and
she was greatly enamored of him.

they GET ALL THE NEWS.

The Bemedji Pioneer seriously
doubts if any weekly or small daily
in the state has as many subscribers
in states prison as does that paper.
They have six of the short-haired
fellows on their books.-Walker
Pilot.
And the entire six have paid a
year in advance for their paper.
What is more, the Pioneer probably
had a hand in sending at least four
of them to their present abode,
through printing accurate accounts
of the crimes which they committed;
and the boys appreciate the accuracy
of the Pioneer as a news medium
from their former homes.

~s selves in Favor Of Restoration OF
Initiative and independence to the
Members.
Washington, Nov. ,I-That theirs
will be an organized effort to amend
the present rules of the house of rep
resentatives is made clearly manifest
by the frank statement of several
members of congress since their ar
rival in Washington. Whether this
fight on the house rules will be car
ricd to an extent which will extend
into an organized opposition to
Speaker Cannon's reelection will not
develop for some time. Victor H.
Murdoch, a newspaper man and con
gresham from Wichita, Kan, has ar
rived here and has given out sig
niticant statement. Among othe1
things he said:
'*Every man who goes into this con-
test against the present manner OF
procedure in the house, which con-
centrates all the power to one man,
will have rocky road to travel.
Every member who expects to prosper
through exercise of ordinary sub
servience and flattery and whose chief
idea of service is an important COM
anittee assignment will remain awake
nights to cast ridicule upon the group
of men who really believe that the
house of representatives has lost its
representative function and that the
most important single public service
possible today would be restoration
of initiative and independence to the
helpless Individual on the floor who
does not care to go, hat in hand, to
the speaker or one of few chair
men, before he can discharge with
effect his duties to his constituency"
Gardiner Also in the Fight.
Representative Gardiner of Massa
chusetts was caller on the president
ard as he was departing from the
White House gave out the following
statement of his stand on the speak
ership situations:
81 shall not decide how to vote on
the speakership until know the
names of the candidates.
PROFESSIONALLY 1 am more interested In
a change in the rules than in a
change in the speakership. If we
members of the house continue to
adopt rules abandoning our power and
shifting our responsibilities onto the
speakers shoulders we must not 90
back to our constituents and cry baby
because he exercises that power.
while we cheerfully leave him to bear
all the responsibility.
Heretofore the rules have been pre-
scribed by the majority in the party
caucus: in other words, by the ma
jority of a majority, and the motion
power has been supplied by still
smaller subdivision of the house. The
time has now come when those OF US
who are dissatisfied must do one OF
three things-either carry the party
caucus, refuse to caucus on rules or
shut up. believe that our best chance
lies in the second line Of procedure. "

Tulip Soup.

the husband, but he finished his bowl

Hot Springs, Va, Nov. '.-Presi-
dent Elect Taft's announced position
in favor of thorough tariff revision
is being approved in a correspond

tent of more than a hundred letters a

recently expressed sentiment is most
satisfactory to him.

;UBSCRlPTION..-s5.OO PER ANNUM
CONTEST MIGHT CLEANSE POLITICAL
METHODS.

Several of the newspapers pub
lished in the Fifteenth Judicial dis
trict, in commenting on the posi-
bility of Judge Stanton inaugural
ing a contest, deplore the insinua-
ton of there having been some
crooked work in casting ballots at
the late general election, and all,
with one accord, hasten to assert
their belief that there was no such
work, and that neither Judge STAN
ton or B. F. Wright were cognizant
of the shady efforts of some of
their friends, if there was anything
wrong.
The Walker Pilot says of pros
pective contest:
Should this contest actually mat
erialize, it will in all likelihood be
one of the most disagreeable polit-
ical actions ever taken in the 18th
judicial district. Both gentlemen
put up a most strenuous fight for
this office, and the battle waged was
an honorable one as far as the can
didates themselves were concerned.
Mr.. Wright, although having passed
through two hard campaigns shows
no inclination whatever to have
ho1 ors wrested from him at this late
date. The friends of both gentle
men are determined that justice
shall prevail. If any juggling with
the votes (and the Pilot does not
believe there was) occurred in con-
nection with this fight, the parties
doing the work have reason to fear
the con test"
The Pioneer believes that con-
test would have beneficial effects;
and if it is found that election ofic-
ials or others who were active in the
election violated the election laws of
the state, the offending parties should
be prosecuted to the full extent of
the law.
1t is not many years ago when a
gentleman who is now one of the
most prominent residents of Walker
boosted that he went to a certain
logging camp, in the early fall, and
cast the ballots of some 200 lumber
jacks fora proposition that meant
much to the village of Walker the
permanent location of the county
seat at that place. 1t has been al
legged that there were not five men
in the vicinity where the votes were
alleged to have been cast; some of
the men were even under the sod.
This instance may be exaggerated,
but is an indication of what used to
be the practice in the early days in
some of the northern cleo ton pre-
cints.
If some of the parties who are
careless in managing elections and
allow all kinds of unlawful voters to
cast their ballots could be prose.
cuted and convicted, an example
would be made that would have a
very desired effect in purifying the
ballot in northern Minnesota, and
more especially the Fifteenth Judi
cal district.
The Pioneer does not intend t.
insinuate crooked methods to either
of the candidates for the judiciary
we simply desire to see a stop pu
to to the illegal practices of some O.
