STRIKING STORY Of: =.
WHOLESALE GRAFT
Illinois Central Charged for
Work Done in Its Own Shops.

80 Chicago, July 29.-Harold A. Sims
told striking story of wholesale graft
before Master in Chancery Roswell B.
Mason in connection with the investi-
cation being made into the alleged
$1,500,00O car repair fraud in the ILL.
nois Central railroad.
Sims, former car inspector for the
railroad and later in the employ OF
one of the five car repair companies
charged with the fraud, declared that
the Illinois Central was made to fur
nish not only materials but also labor
for repairs and then was charged
from one to two prices for the work
through an elaborate system of padded
bills. -r--.s'-
Sims said the greater part of the
woodwork supposed to have been
done in the Independent shops and for
which the railroad company paid a
round figure was really done at the
Illinois Central shops in Memphis. He
said the railroad company was prac-
tically paying handsomely for doing
work for itself.

FACTORY DESTROYED
BY FIRE LAST NIGHT
Preston's Cigar Plant Burned to the
Ground Said to Be Total
Loss.

E. E. Preston's cigar factory on
Park avenue near the railroad track
and the handle factory burned to
the ground last night and the salvage
will not amount to five dollars.
The alarm did not reach the fire de-
partment until the fire had been
burning for twenty minutes and by
the time the fire team reached the
blaze, the whole building was on
fire: The building was frame and
burned like finder. Surrounding
property was not injured.
Many people heard whistle on
an engine blowing but paid little at
tention to it until the first fire bell
was rung. The fire team made a
record run, only hitting the high
spots and the 500 dummy railway.
Two wagon loads of hose were taken
to the fire and a third was loaded in
the barn by the fireman so that
another call would not find them
unprepafed. The light from the fire
was so bright that it looked as
though the whole south end of the
city was blazing.
The whistle at the Warfield plant
was not blown as no alarm was re.
ceived. After the fire had been put
out, some of the fremen found few
punches of tobacco that had not
been in iured and were busy for
several minutes rolling cigars.
A box of blank cartridges made
some excitement when they exploded.

BIRTHS AND DEATHS ca

It was with deepest sorrow that
we were, this week, obliged to chron.
icle the death of Mrs. Jennie Knop-
Ike, wife of Charles Knopke one of
Be midji's most prominent business
men and oldest citizens. whose sud-
den death Tuesday morning was a
shock TO her many friends in this
city, as she had apparently been in
exceptionally good health lately.
The funeral was held at the resi-.
dence, the corner of Fifth street and
American avenue, Yesterday after.
noon, in charge of J. P. Lahr. The
services were conducted by Rev. S.
E. P. White, who delivered 4 very
able and touching sermon, while
sweet and appropriate music and
songs were rendered by the choir.
The casket was bedecked with floral
offerings from friends of the deceased
and bereaved ones, and from
fraternal orders and organizations of
which Mrs. Knopke had belonged
or of which her husband, Charles
Knopke. or her son, Happy Ander-
son, now belong, among them the
Lady Maccabees, Samaritans and
the Bemidji Band. Happy has been
a member of the band ever since
Bemidii was but a hamlet and Mrs.
Knopke has always been an enthus-
iastic booster. The lodges turned
out in body, as did also the band,
in full uniform but without instru-
ments. The floral Offering from the
band boys, a large harp, showed
great talent and skill in its makeup,
in which the sweet peas (the favor
lite flower of the deceased) played a
prominent part. s..
A large procession of friends of
the deceased accompanied the re-
mains to Greenwood cemetery to
pay their last tribute to a just and
worthy cause.
Among the relatives from out of
the city who sttended the funeral
were Miss May Gardner, sister Of
the deceased, and Miss Amelia.
Knopke, sister-in-law, both from
Minneapolis.

Is Expected Because He a is Pioneer
Member of the Conservation
Association.
PINCHOT AND BAKER TO HAVE
CHARGE OF SEPTEMBER MEETING
Expected to Be Largest Gathering Ever
Held by Any National Organi-'
cation. .~.%

teresting light on President
William A. Taft's connection with
the conservation movement develops
in the fact that the records of the
National Conservation association
show that he is the original men,
Der, having joined before President
Clifford Pinchot took office and
while the venerable President
Charles w. Elliot of Harvard was at
its head. He has continuously
maintained his membership and in
point of the duration of his relation
to the association, is a pioneer.
Officers of the association feel that
this connection will serve to per:
suade the president to make I'M
usual efforts to so arrange his time
as to be present in St. Paul during
the coming congress and in the
northwest there is special interest in
the prospect of an address from the
first member and one of the
original conservationists.
Commenting upon the slight con.
fusion of some of the delegates al
ready appointed as to the fields of
work of the conservation association
and the conservation congress, Sec
rotary Shipp of the association, who
is also executive secretary of the
congress, said: = -
The association is permanent
organization, having a membership
of nearly $4,000 scattered through
all the different states. Clifford Pin
chot, former chief forester, is it's off,
cial head. 1t is organized along
lines similar to those of most general.
associations and deals with conser-
walton questions in their broad rel
ations and as they effect the states.
although purely state questions are
within the purview of the various
state commissions. .
1.-The conservation congress is
differently organized, having a
membership of only such delegates
as attend, but no permanent or
fixed members. Its sessions are.
arranged by an executive comittee,
representing association and the
congress and its annual sessions
are open to all who come, prospect
i've OF membership in the national
association. The two organizations
are separate and distinct, the con-
gress being an annual meeting of
of men interested in conservation
and association being an organiza-
ton of men who are members and
maintain permanent relationship.
At the head of the congress IS
President Bernard N. Baker. The
conservation movement therefore
has two official heads, President
Pinchot of the association and
President Baker of the congress,
each fulfilling separate and dis.
tinct duties." ..-.'
The local board of managers is
laying plans for an attendance Of
$4,000 delegates at the fve-day
September conference. So great is the
flood of acceptances from the invita-
tions issued a month ago that plans
are already being laid to entertain
one of the largest assemblages either
St. Paul or Minneapolis has eve,
seen. Committees have been named
to prepare in advance for suitable
hotel Accommodations and informa.
ton bureaus and other special
facilities will be provided in antici.
patton of an attendance which will
fill the two cities to overAowirg.

morning, the board of directors of
the Bemidii Bible conference met
and elected the men to serve the
coming year. Rev. T. N. Finlay
and Rev. S. A. Jameson were re-
elected, and Rev. R. S. Sidebothem

Officers of the conference are
Rev. F. G. Barackman, president;
Rev. S. A. Blair, vice-president;
and Rev. S. E. P. White, secre->
tary and treasurer. The directors
passed on the work done by the
officers this year and extended a
vote of thanks to the program
committee for its excellent work.
Yesterday mornings session of
the conference, was opened with
an address by DR.. Swearingen in
which he continued the study of
the book Of Hebrews. The speaker
had already showed how the epis-
tie proved the superiority of Christ
to the angles, and also to Moses.
In this lecture he discussed Christ
as the High Priest, showing how
much greater is the priesthood OF
Christ than the Aaronic priest
hood. :.
~ At the afternoon session, DR..
DR.. Swealingen delivered the con-
Guiding lecture on the Epistle to
the Hebrews. This lecture also con-
cluded his part of the conference
program. DR.. Gaebelein gave two
addresses on the Epistle to the Gala
tions yesterday. .-. -
In the evening, after the usual
song service, DR.. Gaebelein gave his
address on "The Millennium; When
and How" He first read the Goth
chapter, of Revelations, in which the
millennium is described. He called
attention to the fact that there are
two great classes of Christians, one
of which believe that the second
coming of Christ will be after the
millennium, and the other, that His
coming will be before the millennium.
The speaker was decidedly of the
opinion that the second coming of
Christ would precede the millen.
