London, May liking Edward VII.
who returned to England from a vaca
tion ten days ago in the best of health
died in the presence of his family
after an illness of less than a week
which was serious hardly more thar
three days.
The Prince of Wales succeeded to
the crown Immediately, according to
the laws of the kingdom, without Off
cial ceremony. His first official act
was to dispatch to the lord mayor the
announcement of his fathers death,
In pursuance of custom.
The beloved monarch succumbed to
pneumonia, which followed a bron-
chial attack, in the sixty-ninth year of
life and the tenth year of his reign
Coming so suddenly, the death of
the king has resulted in the great
est sorrow to the nation, in whose
hearts Edward, first as Prince of
Wales and afterward as sovereign,
held first place
His short reign has been a history
of stirring times 1t opened with the
conclusion of peace after long and
trying campaign in South Africa and
concluded at the critical moment of
one of the mOmentous political strug-
giles of modern times, between the
peers and commons.
Only day or two ago the king was
conducting the business of state and
giving audiences, but on Wednesday

IS CORDIALLY GREETED
Colonel Roosevelt Meets the
Kaiser at POtSddrl.

Potsdam, May 1.-THE much dis
cussed meeting of Emperor William
and Theodore Roosevelt took place
here.
The visit of the former president at
the new palace was devoid of any
spectacular feature inconsistent with
the court mourning for King Edward,
but the occasion lacked nothing from
the viewpoint of hospitality and the
purpose to honor the Distinguished
American.
AS the carriages containing the ex-
president, Mrs. Roosevelt and the other
members of the party drove into the
courtyard Emperor William appeared
at the principal entrance Of the new
palace and descended the steps to
meet his guests. He extended his
hand first to Mr.. Roosevelt, then to
Mrs. Roosevelt and to Ethel and Ker-
NIT, greeting each most cordially. His
majesty wore the uniform OF the Garde
du Corps, with helmet.
Preceded by the lord chamberlain,
Count zu Gutenberg, and master of
the imperial household, Baron Won
Lynoker, the emperor, with Mr.. Roose-
welt at his right, entered the palace
and, passing through the large apart
ment popularity known as the she'll
room, showed his guests into the
smaller salon beyond.
The luncheon that followed was at
tended by large number, including
many government officials and others
prominent in public life.

CLAWS Witness Creates Scene at Con-
gressionaI Investigation.

Washington, May S-The cross-ex-
animation of Secretary Ballinger by
Attorney Louis D. Brandeis was pro-
ceeding with but momentary renewals
of the frequent bitter clashes of the
previous day before the Ballinger-Pin-
chot investigating committee when
there developed the most spectacular
incident of the hearing.
Horace T. Jones, a special agent of
the land Office, who testified some
time ago in support of Louis R. CLAWS.
arose in his place among the spec
tatOrs and announced in loud voice
that he did not believe a statement
made by Secretary Ballinger was true
and that he desired that a witness be
called to substantiate or deny what
Mr.. Ballinger had said.
When the commotion in the COM
mittee room following Jones Interrupt
tion had subsided Senator Root de-
manded that the witness be admon-
ished that repetition of his outburst
would subject him to punishment for
contempt.

ICE PROBE is THREATENED
increase in Price of Commodity in
Minneapolis Starts Trouble.

Threats of criminal investigation of
the conduct of the Minneapolis ice
companies, which have announced
raise of about so per cent in the price
of their commodity, are being made in
the Mill City. The dealers say they
welcome an investigation to determine
whether or not there is an ice trust in
that city.
They claim that the price of other
commodities has nearly doubled in the
last five years, while the price of ice
has remained about the same since
1896 The dealers further claim that
the price of labor has advanced with
the price of equipment.

he was compelled to submit to the
orders of his physicians. Since then
until the end his decline was rapid.
Throughout the empire the word
was flashed and flags are floating at
half mast the world over. Besides the
social gloom which the kings death
cast over England several important
and long planned official events must
be abandoned. The Prince and Prin-
cess of Wales were to go to South
Africa with the squadron and the
prince was to open the first parlia-
ment of the new confederation, but
his accession to the throne will pre-
vent this.
The death of his majesty must also
mean the abandonment of the prin-
cipal functions of former President
Roosevelt's tour. The official recep-
tions and the embassy entertainments
will be cancelled and the presentation
of the freedom of the city and the
luncheon at Guild hall probably will
be given up.
May 20 has been definitely deter
mined upon as the date of the funeral
of King Edward.
The body will be removed on the
18th from Buckingham palace to West
minister hall, where it will lie in state
for three days, thence being taken on
the evening of the third day to Wind
sor for interment in St. Georges
chapel on the day following.

ABOUT THE STATE
News Of Especial Interest to
Minnesota Readers.
FOREST FIRES CAUSE ALARM
Towns in Northern Portion Of
State Threatened.

A wireless message reaching Duluth
from Grand Marais, Cook county, says
a forest fire is bearing down upon
the village and that it seems doomed
to destruction. Assistance has been
rushed to the scene.
The village of Grand Marais was
saved from destruction by forest fires
two years ago with great difficulty.
The naval militia and employed labor
ers went down there on the steamer
Gopher and fought fire for several
days. Grand Marais is an old trading
post situated on the only harbor of
refuge on the north shore of Lake
| Superior.
Judging from reports received in
Duluth the entire northeastern part of
Minnesota is smoldering and smoking
with here and there forest fire blaz-
ing up and threatening some settlers

From the Reservation river, thirty
miles beyond Grand Marias, to points
along the Northern Pacific line fifty
miles west of Duluth, come reports of
forest fires, and from Ely to the lake
shore the woods are smoking and
cracking. The passengers On the
steamer America from Grand Marias
brought the report that the little set
tlement of Tofte was about half de-
stroyed by the fires. Tofte is about
twenty miles this side of Grand Ma
rails.
Two dwellings, the town hall, a
church building and two large new
barns were burned to the ground. The
settlers succeeded in saving eight 9TH
er dwellings.
Pail of Smoke Along Lake Shore.
All along the shore from the Duluth
pumping station at Lake Wood to Res
ervation river the smoke from the fires
can be seen. The woods are dry as
tinder, and cinders are frequently car
ried one or two miles by the wind,
starting a new fire when they fall.
The danger to the pumping sta
tion seems to be over, although the

from points along the Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern report fires
all along the right of way of these two
roads. At Cloquet Sunday, according
tosthe1statement of one of these men,
the citizens were fighting fires back
for several hours on the outskirts of
the town.
Wild game is being driven to the
lake and moose and deer and even
bear show little fear of man, coming
close to settled communities. The
wild beasts seem to understand they
and man face common danger and
traditional fear is forgotten.
AS far as is known no lives have
been lost. The total damage done thus
far is beyong any possibility of calcu-
lation. In several sections large
forces of men are out fighting the
flames. In others every possible pre-
caution to prevent the spread has been
taken, and all depends now on wheth-
er there is a heavy rain that will
quench the fires, or high wind that
will give life to the element.

LOSS FROM FIRE IS HEAVY
Factory and Warehouse Burned at
MINNEAPOLIS.

Fire totally destroyed the factory
and warehouse of the North Side Sash
and Door company at Minneapolis,
entailing a loss estimated at about
$4,000, covered by insurance. Due
to the high wind the blaze was spec
tacular.
But for strong northwest gale the
factory of the Bardwell-Robinson Sash
and Door company would also have
suffered, the wind, however, famed
the flames toward the river. The fac
tory was seething furnace when the
fire department arrived and only by
hard work were the flames subdued
before reaching any of the lumber
piles in the yard. The origin of the
blaze is unknown.

CREDITORS DID NOT
ATTEND BANQUET
Samuel Rosenberg's Plan to Lull
Suspicious Seemed to Have
Reverse Effect

From the issuance of a warrant by

arrest of Samuel Rosenberg, proprietor
of cloak and suit house at 22S Grant
avenue, now under attachment on
charge of passing a fictitious check for
$50 on Goldberg, Bowen & Co., 242 SUIT
ter street, drawn on the First national
bank, there developed an Interesting
tale of a banquet which none of the in
vited guests attended.
Rosenberg came here from Chicago
about six months ago and started a
suit and cloak business. He got all
the credit he wanted and it is alleged
staggered the trade by the low prices
at which he sold his goods. His cred
itors became suspicious, and to quiet
their fears he invited them to attend
banquet in his factory last Tuesday
to which the mayor was also invited.
He ordered the wine from Goldberg,
Bowen Il Co. and gave IN payment the
check on which the warrant for his
arrest was issued.
Several entertainers were engaged
for the banquet, among them La Estrel-
lita, and they all made their appear
ance, but to Rosenbergs s disgust neither
eiS mayor HoI any VI the otner IN
vited guests showed up Rather than
waste the good things, Rosenberg vis-
tied many of the stores in the neigh
borhood, bidding them to the feast and
they had a merry time. Rosenberg
explained to them that il was the usual
custom in Chicago to have such an en-
tertainment and pointed with pride to
cards on the walls which read: My
competition think I'm here to bust, but
I'm here to boost" After the banquet
he gave the entertainers checks for
their services, which it is said also
proved to be worthless

stated. Attorney Alexander O'Grady,
representing John Maxwell. w. A. Cook
and Michael OBrien. who were ad-
vanced to the posts of the plaintiffs,
but who have been prevented from
taking Office by restraining order,
contended that an official must have
color of Office" either by appointment
or election before he could maintain
such an action.
The plaintiffs. he said. had no such
authority, inasmuch as their certifica-

plaintiffs were claiming title to their
positions under appointment by the
only appointive power--the board of
fire commissioners.
