Jewellers ALONG LAKE
SHORE SHOULD Be FINED
Persons Who Are Holding Revels In
the City Limits Are Obnoxious to
Good Citizens.

The attention of the Pioneer has
been called to the disgraceful man.
ner in which several Punches" of
hoodlums have at times of late liter
ally taken possession of Diamond
Point and places in the vicinity an d
literally turned over the beau tiful
woods and banks of the lake into
veritable beer garden that would
make even Milwaukeean blush.
We have it from a resident of
Grand Forks Bay who owns fine
summer cottage at that point that
the first of the week a crowd of
rowdies assembled at Diamond Point,
and with key of beer to add incen-
tive to their merriment, INDUCED in
revel that would disgrace the bowery
in New York city.
And all this happened within the
city limits of Bem!dji, along one of
the prettiest boulevards and public
walks in this part of the state.
There are also other complaints
of buns" sleeping in the park, and
in a half-drunken stupor, offering
insult to every passerby.
A stop should be put to this; and
if the city authorities have not
sufficient policemen to properly pat
rol the territory along the lakeshore
to Diamond Point, the city council
should authorize the mayor to EN-.
ploy one or two more.
The people living at Grand Forks
Bay and along the lake-shore leading
to that spot own their property, and
it is within the city limits anc
entitled to police protection.
If a few of these jewellers were
arrested and placed in Jail for {
week or ten days, it would prove
highly beneficial to the moral atmo
sphere of that territory, which ha
been polluted by decidedly "undesir
able citizens"

JAPAN's ACTION JUSTIFIED
Britons Say No Other Course Was
Possible.

London, Aug. 9.-The decision
reached by Japan regarding the con-
struction of the Antung-Mukden rail
road, in spite of the objections Of
China. Is generally considered here to
be justified. Before taking the step
Japan consulted Great Britain and the
other powers with whom Japan's re-
lations are close. Great Britain, while
regretting that her ally found it nee.
essary to defy China, agreed that ia
pan had no alternative. There has
been no endeavor to deny that this
line is mainly Of military Importance,
but as one diplomat put tt:
Japan would be more than human
If she did not avail herself Of her
treaty rights, especially as these are
one Of the few solid compensations for
the heavy sacrifices of her war with
Russia" --
The South Manchurian Railroad
company, which, on account of the
large subsidies 1t receives from the
government has been compelled to re-
build it's line, is not altogether pleased
with this decision, as the undertaking
involves the company In large expen-
ditures and will divert part of the
company's traffic from Dalny to Flu
san.

KILLS HIS WIFE, TWO
CHILDREN AND SELF
Wisconsin Farmer Commits
Quadrup|e Crime :

Barron, Wis, Aug. 9-While crazed
over religion Christ Hanson, wealthy
farmer living near Cameron, cut the
throats of his wife and two daugh-
ters, aged eighteen and sixteen re-
spectively, and then hanged himself
in his barn.
The quadruple crime was discov-
cred by other children of Hanson
when they returned from berrying
expedition.
Hanson had lived near Barron for a
number of years, but recently he
moved to a farm near Cameron, after
selling his farm near this place for
$4,000 less than he had been offered.
At that time comment was caused
and some of his friends began to en-
tertain doubts Of his sanity, but moth
ing was done.
Recently Hanson Is said to have
spent most of his time in reading on
religious topics and he gradually con-
ceived the idea that it was his duty
to end his life and those Of the other
members of his family.

JAP AN IGNORES
CHINA'S PROTEST
Begins Construction Of Rail-
road in Manchuria.
WEARIESOF NEGOTIATIONS.

Toxic Government Issues Instructions
to Proceed With the Work, for
Which Preparations Had Been Made
Some Months Ago-Relations Be-
tween the Two Countries Consid-
cred Seriously Strained.
: Peking, Aug. 9.-In defiance Of the
protestations of China Japan has be-
gun the construction of the Antung-
Mukden railroad. simultaneously at
each end of the line the work was
started by Japanese engineers and
constructors, who for several months
have been awaiting the outcome of
the negotiations. The action was the
result Of instructions from Toxic.
The feeling of Japan in this matter,
which Is due to China's objection to
changing the existing narrow gauge
Of the line to the standard gauge of
the connecting lines in both Korea
and Manchuria, was reflected here by
Japanese official of high standing,
who said that China-Japanese rela-
tions at the present moment bore
dangerous resemblance to those of
1904. e..-
That vital difference exists be-
tween China and Japan Is shown by
the respective statements made to
England by the Japanese government
and Sir Julian Jordan, the English
minister at Peking. The Japanese
contend Japan is entitled to recon
struct the railway under the treaty Of
1905 and attribute China's attitude to
the reactionary tendency Of Prince
Ching, the regent. Minister Jordan
sends word that the Chinese govern
ment has informed him that the An
tung- -Mukden road will be CONNER
cially useless to Japan and is being
built purely for military purposes and
to be used as club to extort conces-
sions from China. ..<

OFFICIAL. WASHINGTON Is
GLAD ZEIAAYA ESCAPED

| Washington, Dec. 25.--News of the
to was received in official circles here
! with varying emotions. While the
have appreciated the capture OF Ze-
laya and his arralgnment on the
charge OF numbering the two Ameri-
cans, Groce and Cannon, there is IN
other quarters a distinct sense of re-
lief in the passing of the Nicaraguan
dictator from the scene.
Had this government been deter
mined to stand by the demands in the
note sent by Secretary Knox to Rodri-
guez, charge d'affaires of the Near
aguan legation here, it is acknowl-
edged the escape of Zelaya could
readily have been prevented. That no
efforts were made to block his flight
is accepted as an indication that the
position originally taken by the secre-
tary of state was not altogether ten
able. The right of asylum, under in
ternational laws, is one OF the most
vigorously regarded stipulations of
such law. and President Zelaya in de-
manding such a right from the COM
mander OF the Mexican gunboat
Guerrero" registered a request that
could not well be refused. In the
failure of the American authorities to
file any protest against the acceptance
OF Zelaya's person, the MYxican COM
mander had no alternative but to aid
him in leaving Nicaragua.
\ precedent was established in the
case of Nord Alexis. former president
OF Hayti. when he sought refuge on
French cruiser lying in the harbor.
He was attacked by the succeeding
government on n number of counts
but the French minister escorted the
deposcd ruler to the wharf where he
was met by Il launch from the warship
and taken aboard. No protest was
ever made over the incident and it
was regarded as coming well within
the scope of the law of nations
No official word has been received
by DR.. castrilo, representative here
of the Estrada government, or by any
of the Central American diplomats re-
garding Zelaya's departure from the
country whose presidency he recently
resigned.

was granted an asylum aboard Inc
Mexican gunboat General Guerrero,
according to officials of the depart
ment of foreign relations here tonight,
knowledge of his ultimate destina-
ton of of his plans for the immedi-

Both Minister Ignacio Mariscal and
ub-Secretary Fredcrico Gamboa de-
clarod they anticipated no conflict
with the state department at WASH
ington as a result of having permit
ted Zelaya to go aboard the Mexican
warship. No official opposition to
such a proceeding. they asserted. had
been made to this government and in
the absence Of any objection the act
was such as any nation would have
performed under like circumstances.
Senor Mariscal said:
''Zelaya is private citizen now and
as such has Il perfect right to make
the request At what port he eX-
poets to land or where he intends to
go we have not been Informed.
According to our advices the Unit
ed states vessels Wnlcn were lliefc
and could have opposed his embarka-
ton. made no effort to do so. The
United states government. which Is
prudent government, cannot object
to our course and we do not expect if
win"
Mr. Mariscal reiterated his previous
disclaimer of any intention to take
ZclaNa aboard when the Guerrero
went to Corinto and said il was only
within day or two that he had asked
to ne allowed to board the vessel
AS to Zelaya's destination both Of
ficials claimed ignorance.
He may wish To land at Salina

may choose to land at Acapulco or
Manzanillo or some other Pacific
coast port and catch "A steamer for
Japan. ON the other hand. he may
come to this city. which he has the
same right to do as any other citizen
of any other nation"
