The documents found confirmed the
opinion previously entertained at the

was temporarily insane and that he
took his life while suffering from the
mania of persecution.

Proposed Tour Of President Taft
an Extensive One.


Washington, April D.-President
Taft, who believes the chief magis.
trate of the nation should keep in as
close contact with the people as the
duties and requirements of the Office
admit, is planning notable trip dur
ing the late summer and early au-
tumn, provided congress decides to
continue the annual appropriation of
$4,000 for travelling expenses allowed
during the closing years of the Roose-
welt administration.
The trip the president desires to
make to the West during the late sum-

be paid for out of his own pocket. An

lists at last understand to what pur-
pose the Yildiz Kiosk used them and
as result they are partly downcast
and partly incensed against the pal
ace. The sentiment of the troops in
the city is turning strongly against
the palace.
The movement of the troops loyal
to the Young Turks to Tchatalja ap-
pears to be proceeding with the great
est order. Everything was planned
beforehand in exact detail.
Tchatalja is the key to the girdle
of Notifications around the capital.
-Four military trains arrived there
Sunday morning. Mukhtar Bey is in
command of the advance guard of the
Salonikians. When a deputation of
pacification from Constantinople
greeted him he asked gruffly: "Have
you brought the head of the old man?
We can negotiate so long as you
come without that head"
Delegation Threatened With Death.
This deputation, consisting of thirty
men, wanted to proceed to Saloniki,
but it was compelled to return here
Mukhtar Bey threatened to give or
ders to have them shot Immediately
If they attempted to get into touch
with the soldiers.~
The troops which arrived at Spar
takule Saturday afternoon under the
command of Mast Pasha proceeded to
Kutchuk and Tchekmedje, where it is
believed they will await the coming
Of achievements. They will then
embark on vessels and, avoiding Con-
stantinople, march direct to Yildiz
Kiosk. Many, officers have deserted
their commands and joined the Sa-
lOnikians.

Anzeiger came out of Constantinople

A military writer in the Lokal An

transport the Third army corps to a
position in front of Constantinople,
but that the defeat of the Third corps
before it's concentration is impossible.

Cap AIN HAMS
| TRIAL IS BEGUN
Faces Court for the Shoot
ing Of Annis.
INSANITY PLEA PUT ASIDE

Army Mans Lawyers Decide to Make
Defense on the "Unwritten Law"
and Assertion That He Was Insane
at the Time of the Tragedy-Diffi-
Guilty in Proving Present Mental
Health Predicted.
New York, April 1).-What may
prove to be the closing scene in
tragedy of national interest began to-
day in the courtroom of the supreme
court in Flushing, N. Y, when Cap
tain Peter G. Hams, Jr., was called
upon to plead before Judge Garretson
to the charge of numbering William E.
Annis at Bayside on the afternoon of
Aug. Is of last year.
Since the acquittal Of T. Jenkins
Hams, brother of today's prisoner at
the bar" interest in the case has
Jagged. It received renewed stimulus
from the announcement a few days
ago that efforts were being made to
induce Mrs. Claudia Libby Hams, who
is accused of being the cause of the
shooting, to appear as witness
against her husband.
Chief Counsel for Hams.
John F. Mcintyre, who was chief
counsel for T. Jenkins Hams, is in
charge of the captains case. He is
assisted by Eugene N. L. Young, a
former assistant district attorney of
Queens county, who assisted Mr.. Nc
Intyre in the first trial.
It is stated on good authority that
the defense has decided to proceed
with the trial on the Indictment, bas~
ing its defense on the unwritten law
and on the ground that the captain
was insane when he committed the
crime, but has since regained his
mental health. It is declared to be
the opinion of jailers and keepers
that the mental condition of Captain
he was arrested.
Strong Point for Defense.
Lawyers think the defense holds
the whip hand over the prosecution.
If at any stage of the trial the situa-
ton looks dubious for the captain the
defense, it is asserted, under the pro-
vision of the penal code, can apply
for commission to inquire into the
mental condition of the prisoner and,
if found insane, the trial will be
brought to finish then and there.
On the other hand, if the prisoner
is convicted Of murder in the first de-
gree they can again make application
to have him committed to an asylum
for the criminal insane.

Two Men Are Cremated and Woman
Drowned.
Walker, Mimi, April N.-David
Wright and Kaytuck, two Indians,
were burned to death in the Frank
Columbe house at the agency. Both
Indians were in Walker in the after
noon and returned to the agency at
night very much intoxicated.
The origin of the fire is unknown
and the only solution is that one of
the Indians slept too close to the
stove, allowing his clothing to catch
fire, and burning to death, as we'll as
his comrade and the dwelling house.
An Indian woman named Mary Mar
tin was drowned in Leech lake, near
Bear island. She was in a sleigh at
the time and, approaching a large
crack in the ice near the shore line,
the sleigh was overturned, throwing
the woman into the water. -

Ill as a result of swallowing a fish

without foundation and nothing more
than a bourse rumor.

ECZEMA LODGES
IN The SKIN
Not a Blood Oisease-Cured by Oil oil
Wintergreen Compound.

For many years eczema was
supposed to be a blood disease
and was enormously treated as
such, but now the best authorities
agree that eczema is only a skin
disease and must be cured through
the skin. The eminent skin
specialist, DR.. d. D. Dennis first
discovered the eczema germ and
his discovery was quickly taken
up in both Germany and France.
To kill the eczema germ and at
the same time heal the skin, DR..
Dennis compounded oil of winter
green, thymol, glycerine, etc.
The remedy is liquid, not a
mere salve, hence it sinks right
into the poors of the skin. Wash
ing with this oil of wintergreen
compound seems to take the itch
away at once; soon the scale drops
away and the disease disappears.

SUBSCRlPTI0N-.-s5.OO PER ANNUM
PIONEER PASSES ANOTHER "MlLEsTONE.'

With yesterday evenings issue,
the Bemidji Daily Pioneer started on
the seventh milestone" of its exist
ence in the newspaper field OF Min
nesota. imbued with determination
to sustain the reputation of the
Pioneer as the leading dissemination
of news in this section of the state,
barring no publication.
The Bemidji Daily Pioneer was
launched in 1908, the initial number
being published April 20, Edward
Kaiser being the publisher. At that
time Bemidji was just entering one
one of the most phenomenal growths,
from a commercial standpoint, of
any community in the northwest, and
Mr.. Kaiser and his associates
reasoned we'll when they determined
that live, up-to-date afternoon
daily paper could be maintained in
this city.
The Pioneer has always been
maintained at least up to the
original standard, in the matter of
a newsy, readable paper and fair
exponent of the best interests of Be-
midi.
The following was the original
announcement placed in the initial
number of the. Daily Pioneer,
Volume 1, No. 1:
The Pioneer-looking to the
best interests of the people of this
section and more particularly to the
upbuilding of Bemidji and Beltrami
county, has, after careful survey
of the situatlon-considered the
time ripe for establishing an after
noon daily.
In launching The Daily Pioneer
we owe our readers an explanation.
"Beltrami county, and, in fact,
this whole northern country, has en-
joyed aphenomenal growth and it
will be no short-lived boom. We
have every advantage here and
northern Minnesota is bound to be.
come the most prosperous section in
the country. 1t has always been the
endeavor of the Pioneer to keep
abreast of the times, but find our
weekly facilities inadequate to the
needs of the town, and have decided
to issue paper every afternoon.
We propose to make The Daily
Pioneer win. To publish a snappy
up-to-date afternoon daily. To pub.
lish the newsstand all the news
and to put in our best ticks for
Bemidji and Beltrami county,"
Tho Pioneer has followed the pol
icy outlined above to the letter
during the past six years, and in
advertising Bemidji to the outside
world and "boosting" all interests
of the city, has deserved the un
varying support of every business
man in the community. However,
there have been times when the
support acc rded the Daily Pioneer
has been anything but liberal and
has even caused unfavorable com
ment from brother publishers in
neighboring towns.
The Daily Pioneer, during the
next year of it's existence, will
maintain its position as the leading
news dissemination of north-central
Minnesota, and the paper will be
improved, if the patronage accorded
the paper justifes such improve
ment. This lies with our patrons
and the amount of business they
tender this publication.
