Telegraphed Attorney Mcdonald to

THIS CITY ALONE IS AFFECTED

Returned Liquor Men

1t became known today that
Secretary of the Interior Ballinger
has been in wire communication
with Attorney E. E. Mcdonald of
this city, who represent the liquor
dealers here in Injunction pro-
ceedings, and that Mr.. Ballinger
was not only aware that such
action was to be taken in Bemidii,
but that he had sanctioned, and
even pledged hisdepartment to CO.
operate in such move.
On December ?, Mr.. Mcdonald
wired Secretary Ballinger asking
if arrangements could not be made
'swhereby suspension of enforce
ment of Indian treaties by seizure
as to those not guilty of Indians
until the questions involved could
be determined.
In reply Mr.. Mcdonald recelv
ed the following answer from Sec
rotary Ballinger: .
Answering your telegram, cannot
see my way clear to suspend enforce
ment of law. If it is believed that
federal officials are transcending
legal authority in their enforcement

will cooperate in securing judicial
determination of disputed questions"
Attorney Mcdonald then sent
a second message as follows to the
secretary: -~~ -, ~@ssssss2s.@ .as.>;'.>> -
Injunctions proceedings being
instituted. Need few days.. Have
you any suggestions to offer?"
1t was as a result of the telegram
that the conference is being held in
St. Paul today at the Office of United
States District Attorney c. P.
Houpt was arranged. Judge Mar
shall A. Spooner, who spent several
days in St. Paul recently delving in
to the legal depths of the treaty for
clients separate from those of Mr..
Mcdonald is in St. Paul at the con-
ference as is also Mr.. Mcdonald.
The twelve saloons here, protect
ed by the Injunction proceedings,
are doing a thriving business, the
patrons of the other twelve, which
are closed tight, adding their calls
for refreshment to those of the regu-
lar patrons.
Agent T. E. Brents. who closed
the saloons here, left at midnight for
St. Paul and he, also. a we'll is par
ticipating in the conference. With
him went H. F. Coggershall, who
arrived from New Mexico today,
and who is to succeed MI. Brents in
>, charge of the subagency here.
The injunctions were issued by
Court Commissioner A. M. Crowell
of this city and the proceedings are
IN district court on December 20.
If, however, Attorney Houpt wishes
the matter brought before the fed
eral courts there will be no objection
on the part of Attorney Mcdonald
and probably none on the part Of
Judge Spooner.

contention that the Indian treaty

is that Bemidji and a small ada

Decorations are of Elaborate Nature Ex-
ecutiye and Floor Committees
Deserve Much Praise.

An event that has never been SUI
passed as social function was held
at the Armory last evening. the Elks
Annual Charity Ball. AS success
it eclipsed all previous events of thi.
nature.
The hall was deliberately decorat-
ed, the entire space overhead being
covered with festooning in the Elk's
colors, purple and white. Six hand,
some deer heads adorned the walls
and one large moose head was set at
one end of the hall, with deer head
on either side. A coy corner was
curtained off with festooning in APP
propriate colors and arranged ex-
pressly for the convenience of the
ladies. Delightful punch was served,
the lady ia charge of the serving
doing herself proud.
Masten'ss Orchestra, led by Pro-
lessor Harry Masten, furnished
the music for the occasion. It

B. c. HilIiard will win by
$50 Votes unless his case
falls

Ben. c. Hilliard scored in the supreme
court yesterday when a supercedeas was
granted to stay the execution OF the
mandamus issued by Judge Shattuck OF
the district court to compel Frank Lea
ry and Frank Taliaferro, judges Of elec
ton, to certify to returns that they de-
clare are fraudulent in the oath street
school district. The case probably will
be advenced on the docket for speedy
hearing and the question as to whether
Mrs Jones OF billiard was elected will
be finally decided.
II the oath street school district is not
counted Hilliard is elected by $50 MOTOR
ity, whereas il it is counted, Mrs Jones
wins by S votes.
1t was shown in the district court that
1,163 ballots were found in the ballot
box at the disputed polling place, while
the voting sheet showed that only 1856
votes had been cast. The judge who
favored Mrs Jones signed the returns, as
the count gave his candidate big ma
jority.
Judge Allen refused billiards petition
that the school board mandamused to
declare him elected Mrs Jones then
went into court to mandamus Lear,
and Talaferro to certify to the returns oi
their precinct which would heve meant
her election.
The two judges had refused to 'sigl.
up" on the ground that there palpabl,
fraud, and that they could not counte-
nance it by certifying to the votes found
in the ballot box. Judge Shattuck is
sued the mandamus and ordered them
to sign the returns.
They appealed to the supreme court
with the result that asupercedeas, which
is in effect, an Injunction restraining the
en- forcement of the mandamus, was
granted them.
Attorneys for Hilliard will now attempt
to have the case advanced on the docket
as, in the ordinary course OF events, it
will not be reached by the court until
after the term for which HIlliard was
nominated will have expired.
The issuing Of the supercedeas means
that the supreme court has found suffi-
siett merit in the contention Of the judi
ges Of election to warrant disregard OF
Judge Shattuck's order until the su-
preme court shall have had time to re;
view all the evidence in the case.
