was indicted by the Hennepin
county grand jury, arraigned before
Judge John Day Smith, and released
on $4,000 bail for wrongfully re-
ceiving money while acting as chief

partment. Mr.. Canterbury did not
wait for warrant to be served on him
but came to the sheriff's office and
gave himself up.
The transaction which led to the in.
dictment was purchasing of site at
University and First avenues north
east for repair shop for the fire de-
partment. 1t was declared that. by
that transaction, Mr. Canterbury rea-
lized profit of approximately $4,000
to which he was not legally entitled,
and that the city was muleted of that
sum.
The offense charged is felony and
is punishable by Imprisonment in the
state prison for not more than five
years and not less than three, or by
fine not exceeding five times the value

SHOP CLOSING ORDER IN UP
PER MINNESOTA.
MEN TO AID LAW ENFORCEMENT
cass Lake and Moorhead Mayors
Told No More Restricted Belts in
Indian Treaty
Territory.

Washington, d. c. = Secretary Bal
linger declared there shall be no spe-
cific ''red light" or wet" and dry
districts in the Indian country in north
ern Minnesota.
In other words, the recent order of
the Indian office creating such dis
tricts and proposing to close saloons
therein is wiped out:
The delegation coming here to pro-
test against the order on behalf of
Moorhead and Cass Lake expressed
to the secretary complete satisfaction
with this order
Mayors Dumas of Cass Lake and
Dover of Moorhead promised cordial
cooperation with the government in
enforcing the law and prosecuting Of
tenders who sell liquor in violation
thereof
Arguments Carry Weight.
1t is plain that Secretary Ballinger
was much impressed with the force of
the contention of the visiting delega-
order would discriminate against Moor
head and Cass Lake and in favor of
other towns in the Indian country.
The secretary Endorsed the policy of
the department in the following order
addressed to the commissioner of In
dian affairs:
From various petitions and com
munications addressed to me in con-
nection with the enforcement of the
acts of congress relating to the intro
duction of liquor into the Indian coun-
try in Minnesota 1 feel called upon to
express to you what SENS to be to be
the correct policy of the department
in dealing with these questions.
fully understand and approve of the
diligence of the Indian Office in it's
efforts to enforce these statutes.
Contention Over Laws.
cit is true there has been some con-
tention respecting the right to enforce
them. The law, however, appears to
be settled in respect to the authority
of the department and it, therefore.
becomes purely matter of administra.
ton. In the administration of these
! statutes the department cannot
countenance Determinations or any
thing that savors of arbitrary, capri
cious or vextacious proceedings.
1.-The officers in the field are en-
trusted with a police duty to protect
the Indians under their supervision
from the introduction of liquor as con
templated by the statute You will
therefore instruct your officers to Sc
cure convictions for violations of these
statutes where the evidence is avail
able and proceed throughout the terri
tory involved to enforce the law"

LIND WOULD REFLECT cLAPP.
Progressive Spirit Appeals to the Ex-
Governor.

Albert Lea.-In a notable address
made in the city of Albert Lea, John
Lind declared himself in favor of the
reelection of Senator Moses Z. Clapp
and announced he was not candidate
for that or any other Office. The dec
laration in favor of Senator Clapp was
made as part of Mr.. Lind's progressive
spirit of the Republican party with the
Democratic movement.
The address was the first delivered
by John Lind in the present campaign.
1t was made in the Broadway theater
where an audience which filled the
lower part of the house had gathered.
1t was not an enthusiastic audience,
but it listened intently.
Former Governor Lind's argument in
general was an effort to attach the
stigma of stand-pattism upon Republi-
canism in general. He said that the
progressive movement was alive in the
land, in the Democratic south as well
as in the Republican north. He used
Congressman James A. Tawney as an
example of the fate that is due to meet
the stand-patter and then assailed the
administration of President Taft, using
the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill as an ex-
ample.
No Benefit to Farmer.
Taking up the tariff bill, he analysed
the schedules, finally declaring that the
farmer derived no benefit from the tar
if.
He did not specifically approve or
disagree in a general way with the
tariff position taken by Judge Buck,
the Democratic candidate for congress
in this district. Pursuing this line of
argument, the speaker took up state
issues and charged Governor Eberhart
with being a stand-patter, attempting
to prove this by the selection of LIED
tenant Governor Edward E. Smith us
chairman of the Republican state CEN
trail committee. He charged that the
lieutenant governor was the stand-pat
leader of the senate and took up Sec
tions of the governors keynote speech
at Mankato to show that the executive
has stand-pat leanings.
He referred especially to the primary
law in which the Governor advocated
changes in the law to make it more of
a party verdict and to lessen the ex-
penses to candidates. The speaker
took advantage of this to furnish an
opening for talk on county option,
which he urged as only right.

stumped the east. Dolliver seemed to
be destined to become public figure
and would have been heard from much
sooner If Blaine had been elected. But
although Cleveland won out, the young
man from Iowa had accumulated some
fame as an orator. Shortly after that
memorable campaign and after Dol
liver had gone back to his law prac.
tice at Fort Dodge, the "boys" began
to run him for congress. He did not
take this running seriously until 1890,
when he got out and carried his dis
trict- From that time he grew in pro-
minence and his oratorical powers
carried him to leadership.
Jonathan Prentiss Dolliver was born
near Kingwood, w. Va, Feb. 6, 1858.
His ancestors were of good old New
England stock, sailors and fishermen.
Mr.. Delivers father was a circuit
riding preacher in the old dominion,
a strong Methodist and a vigorous
speaker.
Senator Dolliver was graduated from
the University of West Virginia in
1875 and was admitted to the bar in

politics, and, as early as 1870, when ha

During the Hayes-Tilden campaign he
spoke at Morgantown and various 9TH

looked upon as a promising man.
Shortly afterward he removed to Iowa,
was elected to the fifty-frst congress
from the tenth Iowa district and was
reelected to the fifty-second, fifty
third, fifty-fourth, fifty-fifth and fifty
sixth congresses. He was appointed
United States senator to fill vacancy
in 1900 and was elected to the same
office in 1902. He was reelected in
1907 and was chairman of the commit
tee on education and labor.
