RuM0R SAYS bob" AND
"JAKE" HAVE BURIED AK
According to Report, Dunn Favors
Jacobson for Republican Nominal
81 ton Tor Governor. &.

Of late the Pioneer has received
copies of the Minnesota Mascot"
weekly paper published at Mime
ota, Lyon county, on the. front page
of which is emblazoned the rugged
features of the Hon." Jake" Jacob
son of Lacquiparle county, together
with a comprehensive history of that
gentleman's acts from the time he
entered this world of strife and con-
tention up to the new year of our
Lord, 1908. .f .f
After having read the above-men
toned ""spiel". concerning "Jake',
we are constrained to believe that
some of the Lacquiparle county
statesman's ardent friends have been
slyly putting the gubernatorial bee
into lakes" hat with the intention
and purpose of getting him into the
race for the republican nomination
for chief executive Of the state. ,.~~..
In this connection, the Pioneer
has received: information (from a
source which it believes is authentic)
that Bob" Dunn and "Jake" Jacob
son have been brought together, and
that the bloody hatchet", which
each has been welding toward the
other, has been buried. Our inform
ant also intimates that Dunn favors
Jacobson for the republican nomina-
ton for governor. -~''. q. &50t

Paris, Jan. 11.-Lucien Milleyoye,
member of the chamber of deputies,
who first achieved notoriety by his
connection with the Boulanger move
ment, is the author of a sensational
article published here in which he
calls upon Great Britain and France to-
intervene in the "American-Japa
crisis. before it is too late. He de-
clares that Great Britain, supported by
France, holds the key to the situa-
ton, but says the difficulty is that no
one is able to fathom the secret hopes
of the British government. -.....s..., :

for. the Russo-Japanese war at the
door OF Great. Britain This war, he
says, made a, cemetery of Manchuria"
and he asks if-Great Britain now de-
sires another. orgy of blood which
will make the world shudder.'"' Con-
tinuing, NJ. Millevoye argues that
Great Britain may believe. she can.
rule: the Far East upon the ruins, of
Japan and America, but he contends
that if she does hold this conviction
she; is playing with fire., as a war:
might arouse the. Asiatics from the

political, lie with the United States.

Bethesda Citizens Urge Plan Before
Congress Committees.


Congress Committees.
II. T. NeWcomb. president Of the Be
thesda. Nd, Citizens Association, IS
urging an amendment 10 the Union Sta
tion trackage bill which will permit com
panies running their cars beyond the
District to collect two fares in the city
on certain cars to be designated by the
company, for the use OF passengers
bound for points outside the District. one
OF these collections TO cover the first
fare after the car leaves the District.
The object cf the amendment is to pre-
vent the crowding Of Rockville and other
suburban cars at certain hours by people
residing in the District of Columbia, Il
being claimed that, while there are cars
every few minutes to the District line
for the accommodation Of city people.
they insist on sr0wding into the suburban
cars, to the discomfort OF the subur-
Danites, who have only cars at intervals
Of an hour upon which they can reach
their homes after the labors of the day
in the city.
Blair Lee, Of Montgomery County.
Nd. discussing the question, says:
y think the proposition of the Bethesda
people. while probably meeting their
needs, is asking Congress for legislation
covering the payment OF fare for travel
in Maryland or Virginia, which might
prove Objectionable
Il understand that suburban towns
would have had the benefit of express
service from the street railroads long
ago but for the fact that It was thought
they did not have the power under the
existing charters"
