PANAMA JOKERS

REPORT THAT CAUSES PANIC
AMONG PEOPLE OF CITY.

Panama, May 11.-AS a result of an
ill-concedved joke, there was little
sleep on Panama last night. An
other result was the imprisonment
of the jokers today.
The public had been made nervous
by reports of the earthquake devas-
tations in the adjoining republic Of
Costa RIGA, and when the word was
passed along last evening that seis-
biologists had predicted that Panama
would be shaken by an earthquake
during the night and the city of
Colon disappear beneath a tidal wave.

from this city to Ancon and Colon.

men and police remained at their posts
ready for any emergency.
When morning broke with no
harm having been done them. the
people realized that they had been
noaxed and the police got after the
Iokers. The latter were locked up.

BARROOMS OF
Twin CITIES SAFE
INDIAN TREATY CLOSING GRoG-
SHOPS WILL NOT BE INVOKED
SAYS 5ALLlNGER.

Minneapolis, May 1.-THE provisions
Of the Indian treaty, which, # literally
carried out would close the saloons OF
Minneapolis and st. Paul, will not be
invoked, according to Richard :, Ball
niger secretary of the interior. This
statement was contained in a letter
from Secretary Ballinger, addressed to
the office of the governor in st. Paul
and written in response to a request
for information from John w. Carl an
Indian lawyer at the Cass Lake Indian
reservation.
At the same time Mr.. Ballinger saws
that the prosecutions brought by Mr..
Johnson on the Indian reservation to
prevent the sale of LIQUOR should he
discontinued. Mr.. Carts letter was
originally addressed to Governor Fber
mart and submitted by him to the sec
rotary of the interior for a ruling.
HIS first reason was that the local
authorities had licensed the saloons,
and that, the saloons having been IL
censed, the government had no right to
insist upon putting them out of bust
ness. Mr.. Ballinger holds that the mere
payment of the internal revenue tax
gives no right for the conduct of
saloon IL otherwise contrary to law.
Old Treaty Attacked.
The second reason given by Mr.. Carl
was that the old treaty preventing the
shipment of liquor into the reservation
was for the protection of the unciyil-
lied Indians and of new settlers. He
says these conditions have now chang
ed. Mr.. Ballinger holds that whether
these conditions have changed or not |
the law remains the same and should |
be enforced
Mr.. Carl's third reason is that in
the Incorporation Of the towns and viii
lagos the legality of the towns and a.
lagos the legality of the saloon business
was never raised. Mr.. Ballinger over /
rules this reason also, holding that the
Iact that the question was not raised /
has no bearing on the law.
AS a fourth reason Mr.. Carl holds |
that since the Indians were allotted
their lands they have become citizens
Of Minnesota, and that special police
regulations cannot, be inaugurated /
against them Mr.. Ballinger quoted the
court decision of Judge Ami
don, and says that the question was
never raised in the courts, and there
fore the law should be regarded con-
stitutional unless otherwise declared.
Alleged Treaty Violations.
Mr. Carl advanced the nth reason
hat violations Of the treaty still con-
.inue under the special provisions made
oy W. e. Johnson. He says that under
Mr. Johnson's special provisions sa-
oons have operated at Wadena. De
rolf, Fosston, Brainerd, Cass Lake.
Walker, Bemidji nd other places.
It was this objection that drew forth
Mr. Ballinger's statements relative to
he operation of the treaty on Mime
tpoiis and st. Paul The territory IN
,olyed in the treaty includes that sec

Different schemes are given at diff

At Christmas time we celebrate the
birthday of our King. The wise men
came from the far east, attracted by
the light of the star, to find and wor-
ship the King. This blessed day is
lighted by star that ought to at
tract our attention and lead US in the
same direction and to the same end.
This time of music and glad festivities
should lay especial emphasis on the
knship Of Jesus Of Nazareth. It is
our privilege to see, in the Babe of
Bethlehem, the King of kings and
Lord of lords. That vision should be
more clear to us than to the wise
men of old. They had none of the
helps that quicken our eyesight. We
may remember the life he lived, the
work he did. the sacrifice he made.
and the influence he has exerted and
is exerting to this very hour.
Never man spake like this man."
concerning God. man, sin. life, death,
truth, Immortality, and 1.-The vast for
ever" He has drawn the intellect of
the world to himself
and turned the currents of history into
new channels. He has compelled the
world to accept his ideas of greatness
and the value of human life. He has
drawn the art of the world to him
self, for the greatest paintings Of the
ages reflect his glory. He has drawn
the music of the world to himself, for
the mighty masterpieces of this realm
tell the story of his work and in
fuence. He has drawn the thought
OF the world to himself, for there
never was one about whom so many
books have been written. His life
and words have been the inspiration Of
the modern altruism that is doing so
much to lift humanity to higher and
better levels. He is rapidly draw
ing the heart of the world to himself
is drawing the lives of men to
himself.
He shall reign, King of kings and
Lord of lords" Because he humbled
himself and made himself of no repu-
tation, and took on him the form of a
servant, and became obedient unto
death, even the death of the cross,
therefore God hath highly exalted him
and given him name that is above
every name. If we will not crown him
Lord of all in our hearts here, we
shall yet be called upon to crown him
King of eternity. Let us crown the
Christ Child our King in the here and
now.

ago. The peasants used to go into
the orchards on Christmas day with
pailfuls of cider and roasted apples.
The health of the trees was drunk to
song, and libations poured upon the
roots. In various sections of north
ern Europe it is the custom to deco
rate trees out Of doors. The fir trees
as evergreens. and fruit trees for their
promises, were trimmed with long
streamers of ribbon or paper.
The Christmas tree finds its ances-
tor in the German ash Ygdrasil, a
great tree whose top reached to Wal
halla. the home of the gods, and
whose roots were fast in the earth.
The Germans have wealth of car

The good old custom OF singing
from house to house on Christmas eve
has crept across the water from Eng.

program of the season to learn these

Che Day

When they saw the star they re-
ioiced with exceeding great joy"
For men in banked cabins in the arc
tic SHOWS and men in the wind beaten
ships on remote seas, for men in tropic
jungles and men in forgotten wastes,
this day Is Christmas. We who spend
the day in the friendly security OF cit
les and draw about us the familiar In
timacies of home and daily friendships
are apt to forget the wonder OF this.
and the significance. But whether they
realize it or not, men draw together
during these hours. And this is to
follow the star the wise men saw over
Bethlehem.
Christmas for most Of us is given to
the closest of ties and the spirit of 1t
is only a warmer glow Of well used af-
fections. But the deepest and might.
est things are the nearest, and in the
heart of this day is the hope Of the
race. Two thousand years ago there
was one who spoke from mountain,
His message was the brotherhood OF
all men. Another time he said: Il am
the way, the truth, and the life." To
day men follow the way though they
do not know, and obey the truth
though they do not see, and live the
life though they are unconscious of its
pulse beat through the world. For the
way is the way of the race marching
painfully to its far goal.
The life of the Individual and the
lives of nations are borne upon the
bosom of great tide. Wise men call
It by different names. but no man
lives effectually save in it's full cur
rent. Whether We state 1t in terms
of religion. or OF philosophy. or pol.

of the brotherhood of man
