IT'S up TO The TOWNS
IN NORTHERN MINNESOTA
Joint Normal Committee Will Visit
Applicants for Location. Start
on Trip Thursday.

St. Paul, Feb. 6, 1885 a. M.
Especial to Pioneer) Chairman
Gartside and Hinton, respectively
of the house and senate normal sub
committees which will visit the
towns looking at the sites proposed
for the location of the sixth state
normal school, will get together
Monday and arrange an intinery
of the trip.
Chairman Gartside has just stated
to me that the trip will undoubtedly
be commenced Thursday night and
the subcommittee will visit Moor
head, Warren, Thief River Falls,
Bemidji, Cass Lake, Park Rapids
and Wadena, in the order named,
returning to St. Paul sometime Tues
day.
It is not probable that the joint
committee will accept the offer of
Cass Lake to furnish a private car,
although McGarry has said he
would offer one free, as the accept
ance of such proposition would
create an impression that an attempt
was being made to build up senti-
ment in favor of Cass Lake. All
we are asking for is an impartial
investigation under equal conditions,
believing in the integrity and fair
ness of the members who compose
the committee.
Get busy, Bemidji, and the re-
naming towns in northern Mime
sofa, and present united front and
clean clothes to the visiting COM
mittee.

The business men have been una

PLANS BIG
STEEL COMBINE
Backed by Mellon Banking In
terests, He May Wrest Car
Business from Trust.

PITTSBURG, Sept. 1.-THE forma-
active iron and steel combination In
the country has been under way here
for some time, but was not discovered
by the public until today, when in the
financial district 1t was learned that
H. c. Frick and the Mellon banking
and business interests are forming ar
immense concern, which they will con-
troll from ore bed to finished material.
1t was said today that it is the in
tention of those in this steel move &c
make an effort to get control of the
steel-makipg car business of the coun-
try, and this. according to Pittsburg
news, was the reason that the stee,
corporation has gone after the Pressed
Steel Car ~Company's plant with such
determination.
With the Standard Steel Car Com
pany obtaining control of most of the
smaller car-making plants of the coun-
try and building its own steel-making
plants to furnish the steel, the Car
negie Steel Company, in Pittsburg,
with its great plate-making mills, de-
cided on heroic action, especially since
the Pressed Steel Car Company was
already buying its plates for cars else
where. Calling off the strike at Nc
KEGS Rocks has not In the least
checked the desire of the Steel Corpora
ton to control of that big
plant.
Should the corporation obtain possess
sion of this plant, there is indication
that war in the steel car market would
result, since developments in the late
strike of steel car workmen in McKee's
Rocks brought out the fact that the
steel car can be made and sold at a
price much lower than at present, yet
produce at least 10 per GER profit to
the builder.

THIEVES GET A DOLLAR
FROM FIVE GAS METERS.

The quarter gas meters in four
houses in Smith street were broken
open this morning, but the thieves Sc
cured only 81, altogether for their
trouble, as a collector for the gas COM
pany made his collections last Satur-
day.
AT No. 3 Smith street the thieves
secured a quarter from the meter of
Lewis Doolittle, and in the same house
they got nothing in the meter of
Charles Machette, as the family has
been away. At the home of Henry
Furman, 4 Smith street, fifty cents
was the amount taken, and at 5 the
meter of Postmaster Thomas Brady
yielded only a qaurter. The locks on
the meters were broken off.
The thefts are supposed to have
taken place about 3 o'clock this morn
ing as several of the people heard the
gas pipes rafting about that time.

entail Quarter.

NEW YORK. Sept. 14.-For some
days past the streets and alleys of
Chinatown have been nervous and I'M
easy, and the hear of every person
having dealings with the Orientals has
been filled with IA vague fear, which
is gradually increasing rather than
diminishing, hat the Ong Leongs and
the Hep Sings are again plotting muir
derous crusades in their rival head
quarters.
The whole district is seething with
expectation and filled with a vague un-
rest. The guardians of the peace have
pushed their vigilance to the uttermost
and made two raids early this morn
ing on places they believe to be hotbeds
of conspiracy.
At the instigation of Inspector DAILY
and Acting Captain Horrigan, who are
determined to nip trouble in the bud at
any cost, fifty extra policemen have
been. detailed from various precincts
to patrol the diaffected district.

CHARMER GONE
Miss Dunn Deserts Artist in
Paris and Starts for
Home.

PARIS, Sept. 14.-Ferdinand Pinney
Earle, the eccentric artist and seeker
after an untrammelled ideal existence,
is today without a soul mate and en-
veloped in gloom, for his latest char
mer, Gertrude Buell. Dunn, the dashing
Chicago girl of socialistic tendencies,
who arrived here with Earle last July,
has repented and Is today on the ocean
headed for New York.
When Earle and Miss Dunn reached
this city they o separate quarters
in the artist section of the city and
maintained merely the relations OF
brother and sister.
1t is asserted hat the young womah's
determination to leave Earle and re-
turn to her home was hastened by a
peppery cablegram h received from
her brother, Ballard Dunn, of Chicago.
He Is said to have assured her that
she was making a very serious mis-
take, and that she owed 1t to her repu-
tation and the feelings of her relatives
to break off all relations with Earle at
once and return to America.

RICH NEW YORKER
BRINGS SUIT HERE
. FOR HIS CHILDREN
William P. Dixon Wants to Be
Given Custody of Two Boys,
Aged 7 and 5 Years.
SAYS WIFE DID NOT
GIVE THEM PROPER CARE
Woman, in Defense, Declares
She Has Brought Action
for Divorce.

On the grounds that his children,
William P. Dixon, jr., and BARLEY w.
Dixon. Z and 5 years old, respec-
lively, had received ill-treatment while
visiting their mother, Mrs. Josephine p.
Dixon, who has been living apart from
William p. Dixon since May 8, 1904. a
PETITION asking for the possession OF
the children was today argued before
Nice-Chancellor Stevens in the Chan
Gerry chambers by Richard V. Linda
bury, of Lindabury, Depue & Faulks.
In his petition Mr.. Dixon, who Is a
wealthy resident of New York, living
at 4 West Fiftieth street, states that
when the children visited him in the
spring of 1908 they were in poor health
were suffering from colds, and showed
neglect and no care.
In the answer to this allegation Mrs
Dixon, represented in court today by
former Supreme Court Justice Gilbert
Collins, said that when her children
visited her husband he refused to hav2
them accompanied by their nurse, and
that when the children returned to her
since their last visit to her husband
they were ,in poor health, and were
very nervous and irritable.
Mrs. Dixon is now a resident OF
Portland, Me, having her house in
town at 16 Pine street. In her answer
to the petition filed by her husband,
she says that since February, 1907, she
has been a permanent resident of the
State of Maine, and that on that ground
she brought proceedings for divorce in
the Supreme Court of Maine. The
charges made are intoxication on the
part of her husband, and desertion for
a period of three years.
In reply to her husbands allegations
thai she has attempted to ALLEVIATE the
affections of the children from him and
his children, Mrs. Dixon emphatically
denies all such charges. She further
claims that under the ruling of the
Maine court she was given the custody
of the children pending the decision on
the libel proceedings brought by her.
