LONG SESSIONS
Will Be HELD.
House to Expedite Debate
on Tariff Bill.
By UNANIMOUS CONSENT

Sessions Will Begin Hereafter at 10
a. M, and Continue Until 1920
p. M, With a Recess Of Two Hours
at 6 in the Evening-Mr. Payne Un-
able to State How Long General
Debate Will Last.
Washington, March 29.-In order to
expedite discussion of the tariff bill in
the house unanimous consent was
given that the sessions hereafter shall
begin at 10 a. m. instead of II, that a
recess should be taken at 6 and that,
resuming at o'clock, the sessions
should continue until 1O:30 p. m. each
day. The request for unanimous con-
sent was made by Mr.. Payne, who
said that there already were forty or
fifty members who had indicated their
desire to speak.
Mr.. Clark of Missouri, the minority
leader, asked how long general debate
would continue. He said he was much
embarrassed by his lack of informa-
tion. When his Democratic colleagues
asked for time in which to speak he
found it difficult to make allotments.
Mr.. Payne replied that he was suffer
ing under a similar embarrassment,
but did not supply the information de-
sired.
Without any intimation having. been
given as to when the general debate
on the measure shall cease the bill
was laid before the house. Mr.. Harri-
son of New York, the new Democratic
member of the committee on ways
and means, at once took the floor. He
was followed by Representative Mich
olas Longworth and others.

GAME WARDEN BAILEY IS
AppREHENDING HUNTERS
lack" Ross OF Houpt Plead Guilty to
Having Killed a Moose, Out
Of Season.

Game Warden S. C.. Bailey of Be-
midi has been rather active during
the past ten days, looking up COM
plants of violations of the big game
laws, with the result that he has sue.
ceeded in convicting one man of
having killed a moose, and found
the carcass of another moose, the
slayer of which is still at liberty,
and if it is found that he has not
left the state, the violator will be
taken into custody and prosecuted.
On Saturday Jack Ross, who
lives near Houpt, plead guilty,
before Justice C. G.. Mealey at
Houpt to having killed a moose,
the latter part of January, near
Houpt.
Ross was arrested by the warden
and the evidence was so strong
against him that he did not fight
the case, but plead guilty and was
fined $50 and costs, which he paid.
Warden Bailey also found the
carcass of moose at point about
four miles northwest of Mizpah, but
has not yet apprehended the man
who shot the animal.
Mr.. Bailey is doing good work
as warden and being complimented
by the executive agent of the Game
& Fish commission.

for an hour and then went home,
deciding on taking out the chunks
of ice for his ice house as fast as
they were sawed.
And now, al" Jester asserts that
he filled three ice houses, simply by
taking the ice from the lake as it
was sawed by his fish. -.- .
AS Jester is an honored member
of Bemidji Lodge, No. 1852, B. P.
O. E., and bears an enviable repu-
tation for truth and veracity, there
can be no question as to the story
about those fish; at least there should
not be, as AL" agrees-to show any
skeptical person the exact spot on
the lake where the ice was taken
from.

Over Ten Thousand Arrive at New
York in One Day.
New York, March 29.--More than
10000 aliens arrived in New York in
twenty-four hours. Classified by ships
1879 immigrants were brought in on
the steamer Sannio, from Genoa;
1,026 on the Ligunia, from Naples;
1,150 Oh the .Adriatic, from South
ampton; IT'S on the Argentina, from
Trieste; 2,O56 on the Carpathia, from
Trieste; 1880 on the Cedric, from
Genoa, and more than 1900 on the
Lusitania, from Liverpool.
These figures indicate that all rec,
ords on immigration to New York will
be broken this year. The Italians are
pred dominating as usual, with the Hun
garians a close second and Scan

Chicago, March 29.-The intense
rivalry which exists between the Chi
cago-St. Paul lines was increased by
the official announcement by the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul road OF
its intention to run two Pioneer linn
tied trains.
AS a matter of fact the new train
will be a first section Of the famous
Pioneer limited train and has been
running as such for some time when
travel demanded two trains instead of
one. The fact that the new train will
fracture the speed agreement little
adds to the feeling Of uncertainty re-
garding what is likely to happen
among the Chicago-St. Paul lines.

Declares Official Has Undone the
Good Work Accomplished
by Elihu Root.
MAKES ASTONISHING CHARGE
According to His Story Twenty
Dead Marines Were Found on
Field of Battle.
tBy Associated Press.l

CITY OF MEXICo, December 3d.
"Secretary Knox is not my judge, 1
am responsible only to my govern
ment,'' declared former President Ze-
laya of Nicaragua in an interview here
today. Zelaya arraigned Knox severe
ly, declaring that his actions in con.
nection with the Nicaraguan troubles
have gone long way toward undoing
the good work accomplished by former
Secretary Root during his tour of the
South American republics.
In the course of his conversation, Ze-
laya made the astonishing statement
that the dead bodies of twenty marines
were found on the field of battle after
the fighting at Colorado Junction.
Zelaya further said that there are
400 Americans serving in the army of
the Nicaraguan revolutionists under
the banner of General Estrada, the
leader of the revolutionary forces.
In regard to the tales of the torture
| of Cannon and Groce, Zelaya charac-
terized them as absurd, and gave out,
as the oaicial explanation of the re-
ports, the announcement that the
stories are the work of deserters anx-
ious to cause trouble.
Washington Is Amused.
WASHINGTON, December 30.-Ze-
laya's statement that the dead bodies
of twenty marines We're found upon
the field after the battle of Colorado
Junction, was received with amuse-
ment by high officials of the United
States government yesterday. 1t is
stated officially that there were no
marines near Nicaragua at the time of
the battle and that no assertions have
been reported.
Henrique Creel, Mexican ambassador
to the United States, paid official visits
to President Taft and Secretary Knox
yesterday.

MERCHANTS ARE
GETTING WEARY
Henceforth They Will Put Up the
Bars Against the Clamor
for Assistance.

Henceforth subscriptions will not be
as readily secured from the merchants
of this city as has heretofore been the
case. The merchants association yes
terday took the matter up and it is
likely that some steps will be taken to
systematize the making of donations by
business men.
While the merchants have not placed
themselves on record as opposing char
ity, or even as unwilling to contribute,
within the bounds of reason, toward
worthy objects, they feel that they
have been called upon to do more than
their share, and they believe that some
steps should be taken to put check
upon indescIiminate compliance with
solicitations for aid
The matter was discussed at length
at yesterday meeting of the directors
of the association, and it was decided
to call upon the finance committee to
draw up set of resolution condemning
the too general solicitation of aims.
At yesterdays meeting it was sug-
gested that the members of the asso-
citation decline to consider any applica'
tion for financial aid not approved by
the secretary of the association. This
plan was rejected, however, as placing
too great burden upon the shoulders
of the secretary. 1t is probable that
some such regulation will be adopted,
however.
The matter of trading stamps came
up and some doubts regarding the legal.
ity of the system We're expressed. As
the attorney for the association now
has the matter under consideration It
ing the receipt of an opinion.
The question of advocating tho sus.
pension of the eoastwise shipping law
was touched upon, but the directors
decided that the sentiments OF the as.
ISOLATION are well known In the matter
aud that further resolutions we're not
needed.
