The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1909-06-11
Additional Locals

Angus Cameron, the well-known
commercial traveller, went to Duluth
yesterday noon to join the herd"
at the convention.
A little party of young people,
consisting of Misses Ina Leguee
and Jessamine Peterson, Floyd Mar
cum and Julian Peterson, who visited
Crookston for few days, returned
to the city yesterday morning, all
except Miss Peterson, who went on
to Clay county to visit relatives and
childhood friends.
E. S. Swenson of Crookston, the
general representative for the North
western Marble Works at Crookston,
spent yesterday in the city. He was
here for the purpose of assisting J.
N. Fuller, local agent for the North
western people, in placing a monu-
ment in Greenwood cemetery, to
mark the last resting place of the
late John Washburn. An unfortun-
ate mishap injured the stone while
being unloaded, so that the monu-
ment will not be erected at present.
There is very Commendable
spirit of clean up" taking hold of
everyone who has anything to do
with traffic on the lake, as we'll as
the lumber companies who have logs
that are sawed here. The shore
which was pretty much strewn with
logs, is being cleaned, and the rub
Dish which was strewn about. as we'll
as some of the ramshackle looking
creations of the carpenter which
adorned the shallow water, are being
removed and abated. Verify, we
shall soon be "spick and span"
again; and the somewhat caustic
reference made by the Pioneer rela:
tive to our shabbiness appears to
have been taken in the right spirit.

suBsCRlPTI0N-.-s5.0O PER ANNUM
D. C. SMYTH AND THE GRAND JURY.

Bemidji, Mimi, June 10th, 1909.
Editor Pioneer:-I relation to the
article appearing in your issue of
yesterday, entitled, The Grand
Jury Finally Adjourned" -
Will the Pioneer for the informa-
ton of it's readers quote the section
of the Statutes of Minnesota which
provide or require the Grand Juries
to make any report except in the way
of an indictment or presentment
based upon criminal charges sub
mitted for it's consideration.
Referring to the alleged rumors
that the Pioneer reports having
heard on the street, and considering
the fact that there were three sources
from which these rumors may have
eminated, viz: the grand jury, the
county attorneys office or the street
itself, wohld it not have been more
manly and honorable for the Pioneer
to have traced these rumors to their
source, and then laid the charge at
the door of the real culprit.
If the Pioneer desires to SOW more
seeds for it's harmony harvest why
does it not publish the facts in
regard to these matters instead of
such contemplate insinuations as
have been appearing in it's columns
from day to day.
d. C. Smyth,
A member of the last Grand Jury.
The above letter was handed the
Pioneer yesterday, with the request
by the author that it be published.
The letter is reproduced IN FULL,
as was the much-mooted final report
of the grand jury.
AS to the requirements of the
statutes, there may be no require
ment for the report on county public
buildings, actions of county officers,
and the manner in which cases have
been tried; but it has been a custom,
followed from the time a grand jury
was first inaugurated, to file such a
report, and the writer of the above
letter Statesman and literary author
ity and critic of methods of con-
Quoting newspapers though he be)
we'll know this.
AS to the statement relative to
reports of the grand jury having
been noised about the city of Be-
midi: It is a fact that there were
rumors that the jury would return
indictments against four men, and
these indictments were returned
later in the day according to COM
mon rumor. II is just possible that
some member of the jury may have
intimated this contemplated action
to certain parties who have been
exceedingly busy around the court
house during the present term of
court, when they bad other duties
which they were supposed to perform.
Mr.. Smyth (who is always alert to
take literary part in any public
matter wherein his great wisdom
will be needed, he believes) talks
of "inslnuations," etc., of the Pho
neer, but does not deny that he,
personally, told anyone of the
actions of the jury of which he was
an august member; the Pionner has
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1909-06-11

/ =
made no such charge, however.
An affidavit from the gentleman
might settle this portion of the i'm
puted "insinuation" in the minds of
some people; the public can Judge
for itself.
An estimate of the cost to which
the county has been put to maintain
the late jury places the sum as
follows:
For February
Twenty-three jurors, at 81 per
day, for five days.............$ 23O
Estimated mileage of jurors. 100
For March
Twenty-three jurors, at 81 per
day, for ten days..............- 400
Estimated mileage of jurors.... 100
For June @. 1895 ...s .---......s j.
, lWenty-three jurors, at p3 per
day, for eight days ............ 552
Estimated mileage of jurors.... $50
Total. .........................$1722
This expense appears, from a
casuory examination, as being out
of all proportions to the results
obtained in beneftting the county,
and this is more especially manifest
since the recent visit of the attorney
general, who gave strict instructions
as to the mourning of needless
expense and saddling debt onto the
taxpayers.

AMERICANS IN EARTHQUAKE
NINETY SAID TO HAVE BEEN IN
MEsslNA HOTEL.
state Department Making Every Etfor
to obtain News Of Tourists
In Italy.

washington, Dec. S1.--Ninety Amer
leans in a MessIna hotel that was dc
stroyed and Italians and Americans
cooperating in the quest for informa
ton regarding the missing are report
ed in a cablegram the state depart
ment Wednesday received from Am
bassador Griscom at Rome. The am
bassador cabled that he has received
no word from the American consuls
at Messina and Palermo. He has
asked the foreign office for informs
ton and that office, he adds, Will use
every effort through army and navy
officers to obtain immediate news.
Every effort is being made by tne
state department to obtain news OF
American citizens who were IN tna
earthquake zone in Italy and whose
fate caused their friends much un'
easiness and an appeal to the depart
ment to help locate them AmDassa
dor Griscom at Rome was directed TO
cable promptly any information Cd
tainable regarding the missing peopie
and to send some Of the American
vice consuls In Italy to the scene OF
distress to render whatever aid pos
sible, Efforts also are being made to
keen in communication with deputy
consul Lupton at Messina to the enc
that prompt advices may reach nere
regarding any Americans in trouble
there.
The state department announced
that 1t will make public promptly to
the press any information received
from It's officials in Italy SO that news
will reach those Immediately inter
ested at the first possible moment
The departments information is that
the winter tourist season has not vel
fully begun in Sicily. The impression
among officials is that those Amert
cans who were in the earthquake zone
in that island were mainly at Taor'
nina.
The British consul at Messina Is re-
ported injured and his wife and chill
dren dead. The ambassador says II
ia reported that 80 Americans were In
the Trinacria hotel at Messina, which
us said to be totally destroyed. 1t is
known, however, that some Of the
guests escaped.
