John R. Stewart and Nap. LaPointe
Arrai9ned Today and Clarence
DOWne Yesterday.

Before H. A. Simons, U. S. court
commissioner, today, John r. Stew
art and L. Nap LaPointe waived ex-
animation on the charge of tres
passing on government timber lands,
and were bound over to await the
action of the u. S. court at the
spring term to be held in Fergus
Falls in May. Both men were re-
leased on their own recognizance.
William Woods, who is charged with
a like offense, is not in the country,
but is reported to be in the west

ment land, January 1, 1907.
Stewart and Lapointe appeared
before Commissioner Simons this
forenoon, and we're represented by
E. E. Mcdonald as their counsel.
The cases were instituted at the
instigation of A. w. Layman of
Duluth, special agent for the general
land office at Duluth.
Clearance A. Downe yesterday
waived examination before Commits
sioner Simons on the charge of
tresspass alleged to have been com.
mitted on seA of the nwA Sec.
23-I44-34, Hubbard county, govern
ment homestead land. 1t appears
that Downe became entangled in a
REIMBURSEMENT made to Cass Lake
man, wherein he is alleged to have
tresspassed when he cut 200 jack
pine trees, valued at $500.
Downe furnished a bond in the
sum of $500 and was released, he to
appear at the term of U. S. court at
Fergus Falls in May.

the cause of death as apoplexy, re-
turned the case to the coroner for q

Senator Hale Says Congress Will Not

Authorize Four BattIeships.
Washington, April 1 In spite of
the presidents urgent recommends
ton contained in his special message
to congress that four .battleships be
provided for in the naval appropria-
ton bill that body is not likely to
authorize more than two at this ses-
sion.
''The naval committee will make
provision in the naval bill for only
two battleships," said Senator Hale.
chairman of the committee on naval
affairs. 'That number is sufficient
and there is a possibility that only
one may be provided for before the
bill is finally passed. There is a
strong sentiment at both ends of the
Capitol in favor of only one ship, al
though, as I said before, appropriation
will probably be made for two, but no
more"
John Sharp Williams said that more
than two-thirds of the Democrats
would vote against four battleships
and the Republican leaders appear
confident that at least half of the Re-
publicans will do likewise.

Washington, D. C.-Court Fixes
Punishment at $500 Fine.


Washington, April Il AS a result
Of the first conviction under the pure
food and drugs law Robert N. Harper,
president of the Washington chamber
OF commerce, formerly president of
the American National bank, drug
manufacturer and one of the best
known business men of this city, was
sentenced by Judge Kimball in the
police court to pay fine of $500 on
one count and 5000 on another count
of the Indictment recently returned
against him for manufacturing and
selling an alleged mislabeled pharma-
ceutical compound. President Roose-
welt had insisted that the prosecuting
officer demand a Jail sentence.
After hearing arguments by govern
ment and defendants attorneys Judge
Kimball said that as this was the first
offense against the pure food and
drug act he would not impose a Jail
sentence. Owing to the seriousness
of the offense Judge Kimball said he
would impose the maximum money
penalty.
The courts sentence named five
months imprisonment in the District
jail as an alternative in default of pay
ment of the fine. Following the SEN
tence bill of exceptions was filed
by Harper's attorneys and an appeal
taken to the District court of appeals
