PLAYERS AND FANS
SHOULD GIVE MORE AID
impossible to Give Public Good Ball
Unless There Is Cooperation
and Backing,

The management of the Bemidj j
baseball team is negotiating with the
famous Colored Gophers of St. Paul
for two games to be played here this
month-on Sunday and Monday,
June 9th and 28th. H.
These games will be arranged,
providing more interest is shown in
contests by the public and the
proper support is given the efforts
of the management to give local
fans" some good support. This
support must come from patrons of
the games.
Players who will not 90 near the
ball park until the evening before a
game cannot justly expect to put up
a frst-class article of ball when
visiting teams, trained to the minute,
come here for games; and FANS
cannot be blamed if they roast"
the efforts of bad conditioned players
who make rotten errors and can't
hit a balloon.
1t takes practice to play ball;
and when players are paid for
their services las they have been,
every one of them this season) a
fair return of playing ability is ex-
pected by the public. This has
not been given IN full measure by
all the members of the local team
this year, despite the very liberal
treatment accorded the boys by
the present management. Local
pride should enter somewhat into
the makeup of even a ball player;
and the men who wear Bemidji
uniforms should strive to win, by
all honorable means, at the same
time behaving like gentlemen
while on the *'held of battle.'
This mild advice is not given fol-
the purpose of causing any trouble
between the players and the public
or the management; but is not out Of
place, everything considered. While
the majority of Bemidji people are
DESTROYS OF maintaining nothing but
friendly relations with their neigh.
bors, and while we want good ball,
the Pioneer does not believe that it
devolves on this paper and one or
two loyal fans" to continually boost
the city and it's team and receive a
mess of pottage' in return, keeping
US in arms with our neighbors and
getting very common article of the
great national game.

Benefit Dance Tuesday NiQht.

A benefit dance will be given next
Tuesday night in the city opera
house under the auspices of the local
lodge of Modern Brotherhood of
America, the net proceeds from
which will 90 to Walter Howe, who
was recently injured in one of the
mills to such an extent that the
amputation of one of his limbs was
necessary.
The committee who have charge
of the dance consist of J. Bisiar, A.
A. Carter and Charles Hammond,
and the fact that these gentlemen
are connected with the affair insures
successful dance.
First class music will be furnished
by Harry Masten's orchestra.

Douglas Lumber Company,
Argued at Length.

The damage suit of Jacob l.
Brown VS.. the Douglass Lumbe,
company, ct al, still occupies the
boards" in district court.
Yesterday afternoon the plaintiff,
Jacob L. Brown, and DR.. Shannon
were examined on behalf of the
plaintiff.

this forenoon when the plaintiff
and Dr.. Shannon were called for
cross-examination, after which the
counsel for the plaintiff rested his
case.
M. A. Spooner, attorney for the
Douglass Lumber company, one OF
the defendants, moved to dismiss
the action as against the Douglass
Lumber company on the ground
that the plaintiff had failed to prove
a cause of action against this de-
PENDANT.
The jury was excused at 1890
while counsel for the plaintiff and
counsel for the defendant argued the
motion regarding the dismissal of
the case against the Douglass Lum.

SC0RNS FAVOR FROM "BILL"
Taft's Nephew, Trapeze Performer,
Happy With Stolen Bride.

dII . NePneW, IraPeZo PERFORMER,
Happy With Stolen Bride.
Chicago, June 5.-Accompanied by
his bride of few months, the daugh-
ter of an Indianapolis manufacturer
whom he won through his spectacular
aerial stunts in circus and with
whom he subsequently eloped, Charles
c. Taft, son of Henry Taft of New
York and nephew of the president,
stopped in Chicago en- route to Seat.
tie.
Young Taft, though a graduate of
the Wilkesbarre school of law, chose
the trapeze and bars as a profession
and made good. Following his mar
riage to Miss Piper, Taft essayed a
particularly desperate feat, fell and
suffered broken leg, broken arm
and a dislocated jaw. His bride
nursed him and today is rejoicing be-
cause Charlie is again about to take
up his chosen work, notwithstanding
she inherits approximately 100000
from her fathers estate in Indiana.
Taft said in response to question:
II don't care for an appointment
from Uncle Bill I am happy with
my stolen bride and that's all l am
thinking of just at present"

OPENING Scene
QUITE PACIFIC
Expected Clash in Senate
Fails to Materialize.
ATTENDANCE VERY LARGE


and Nearly All Were in Their Seats
When the GaveI FeIl-La Toilette
Refers Briefly to Events Of Preced-
ing Session, but His Remarks Are
Friendly and No Storm Follows.
Washington, June 5.-No one was
required to call for a quorum when
the senate met. Events of the previ-
cts night in respect to personal ref
erences to Senator La Toilette had
caused feeling that a storm was brew
ing and nearly every senator was
present when the senate met.
Contrary to general expectation
che opening scene, when Mr.. La Fol-
lette took the floor, was quite pacific.
MIR. La Toilette and Mr.. Gallinger had
, friendly exchange Of words relating
to refusal of the Wisconsin senator to
yield to Mr.. Gallinger for a question.
Mr.. La Toilette said he had not
been sick, but after holding the floor
over five hours did not feel in condi-
ton to continue at night and had re-
manned at home to rest. He called
attention to the fact that there we're
other senators who might have
spoken, including Mr.. Aldrich, who
had promised an explanation of the
cotton schedule. Turning towards
Mr.. Aldrich Senator La Toilette re-
marked that that senator "stood upon
this floor as any other senator"
He forgets it sometimes" added
Mr.. La Toilette, Then, referring to
the session of the previous evening
as sensational" to such an extent as
to obscure the debate which had pre-
coded, Senator La Toilette turned to
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania, who
sat on the opposite side of the cham
Der facing Mr.. La Toilette.
Suggests Task for Penrose.
"As to the remarks of the senator
from Pennsylvania" said Senator La
Toilette, Il would suggest that he
would render a more important serv-
ice to the country and to his state if
he would account for the way he
spends his time when absent from
this body than in any effort to make
an account for my time"
Sitting upright and leaning forward
Mr.. Penrose gave close attention to
every word of the senator from Wis
consin. The possibility of a severe
clash between the two senators
caused their colleagues on both sides
of the chamber to shift eyes from one
opponent to the other. The galleries
were crowded, but the stiffness was
intense.
II might add" continued the SEN
ator from Wisconsin, that no man
could undertake to account for the
whereabouts Of the senator from Penn
sylvanfa without transgressing the
rules Of the senate and I do not"
Mr.. Penrose, interrupting, referred
to an article In a magazine published
by the senator from Wisconsin as mis-
representing the speaker and Penn
sylvania. Mr.. Penrose was promptly
answered by Mr.. La Toilette, who
said the statements were taken from
a newspaper and when denied by that
publication were promptly withdrawn
by Mr.. La Follette's.
Mr.. La Toilette then proceeded with
his analysis of the tariff bill.

Mrs. Cummings was awakened by
the smoke, just in time to break a
window and jump through to the
ground. She secured help and finally
extinguished the fire, but not before
the flames had done considerable
damage to the roof and other parts
of the kitchen.
There is no clue to the identity
of the disreputable persons who
attempted to burn the building and
end Mrs. Cummings life.

FRANKLIN MODELS
AROUSE INTEREST
First Complete Shipment Of 1910
Models Shown at Han1lln
Garage This Week

r. C. Hamlin the local Franklin
agent, has spent a busy week showing
the 1910 Franklin cars which arrived
this week from the Syracuse factory.
The Franklin company is putting out
three distinct models this season, and
for the first time since Hamlin opened
the local agency he is able to show all
the new models In August.
There is the little 1S-horsepower car,
which has always heen popular among
the lovers of the small car; the 2S-
horsepower five-passenger touring car
and the big seven-passenger siX-cylin-
der machine,
1t was this type equipped with u
runahout body with which Ralph Ham
lin has won so many track and road
records. and who recently won the
Consistency cup in the Santa Monica
road race.
The Franklin cars offer several new
features this season which have at
tracted much attention. The engine ON
first sight looks like the upper part of
a submarine boat This is caused by
the casing which surrounds each cylin-
der and the compartment which makes
alright the chamber around the cyl
inders.
Back OF the cylinders Is poWertul
suction wheel which causes cool air
to circulate around the cylinders This
does away with the fan i'm front.
The engine is absolutely noiseless.
The smaller engines are made exactly
like the larger ones: in fact every part
of the small car is made of the same
material used for the same part in the
big six.
Hamlin has several shipments on the
way and will be able to make early de-
liVeries on all models.

BELIEVES HE HAS SOLVED
PROBLEM OF JOY RIDES

A Brooklyn man has produced what
he calls the only practical solution of
the joy-ride problem. His device is
simply a strip of very heavy manila
paper, which is fastened to the rear
tire and rim by means of corrugated
wire which perforates it in four places,
lead seal on the end of the wire be-
ing sealed by nickel plated hand
press which can be carried in the pock-
ct, If desired.
The owner of a machine, suspecting
his chauffeur or the night manager of
his garage. seals his machine and goes
home confident that it will stay in
the garage until he orders it out.
The paper and wire about the tire
and rim of the rear wheels, although
strong enough to withstand all the
moving and dampness incident to wash
ing and cleaning in garage, will not
stand the friction of a ride of more
than two blocks without going to
pieces.
