METROPOLITAN CLUB ATTACKED
Mayor Asserts Liquor is Being Sold
Night and Day-City Attorney
to Investigate.
STONER, INDIGNANT, RESIGNS
Presents Sharp Letter of Criticism and
Says City Engineer is No
Longer Needed.

Bemidji's efforts toward stricter
regulations for saloons were nipped
in the bud at meeting of the city
council last evening, when, as the
result of strong petitions from a ma.
jority of the business men, it was de.
cided not to increase the liquor IL
cense fee from $500 to $1,000.
The council also backed up on its
previous determination to limit the
saloons in Bemidji to the present
number by indicating its willingness
to grant license to Peter Under.
berg. Other applications are to be
made.
A week ago the council instructed
the city attorney to draw up a reso
luton providing for the doubling of
the saloon fees to the city. When
this resolution came up for action
last night it was accompanied by two
petitions; one signed by many bust
ness men and the other by practi-
cally every saloonkeeper in the city.
Both were alike and prayed that the
council do not increase the license
at this time because the prevailing
stringent conditions would work a
hardship and an injustice on the
liquor dealers and would make it
impossible for them to do business. :"
Bisiar Starts Fireworks.
Alderman Bisiar said he had
been told that only three or four
saloons in Bemidji have made any
money the past year and that as
a result the losing places we're
forced to resort to all sorts OF
tricks to make both ends meet.
This brought Mayor Parker to his
feet with plain statements.
"Bemidji's honest saloon
keepers are being made the victim
OF the breweries who are pedd.
ling liquor all over the city, and
they pay no license" he said.
Metropolitan Club in Lime Light.
"The Metropolitan club is an
other bright example. Beer and
whisky ale served there nj ght and
day, but the club doesn't pay the
city anything for doing a saloon
business.
If they are selling liquor day and
night as you say, they ought to be
made to pay license," said Alder.
man Bisiar.
The council doubted its power in
thematter and called upon City Attor-
ney Torrance to render an opinion at
the next meeting as to the rights of
the city over such an organization.
The resolution calling for the in
creased liquor license was then voted
down by all the alderman present:
Kirk, Bursley, Smart, Brown and
Bisiar.
Stoner Criticizes Council; Resigns.
In a letter severely criticizing the
council, M. D. Stoner presented his
resignation as city engineer. Mr..
Stoner's letter follows:
To the Hon. City Council,
Gentlemen
Since you have seen fit TO accept
the Bosworth Storm Sewer contract
regardless of my reasons for not
accepting the work which was clearly
contrary to the specifications under
which said contractor bid, and as
you have taken the contractors
word for the manner in which the
work was done, instead of the City
Engineer, who is under bond to see
that all contracts are fulfilled;
therefore do not see wherein you
need any further need of an Engineer
at all.
The contractor knew when he

Ger Vacha and the father went to this
station, and the father was delighted
when he really saw that it was his

Inquiries as to how the child got to

walked and walked and was finally
picked up by East Side policeman,

from Hammond. Every train that left
the city carried a score or more of
people who were starting on their
weekend outings
Some of the depot platforms were
crowded and every street car and inter
urban carried its quota of people. A
large number of people are going TO
the country TO visit relatives and others
are going TO nearby towns.
A good many fishing trips have been
arranged and some people are going
to the northern Wisconsin and Michi-

FRANKLIN BlACKMUN
WINS DISTINCTION
Hustling Insurance Agent
Leads All Accident In
surance Men In State.

Franklin Blackmun of the firm of J..
S. Blackburn & Co. has the distinc-
tfon of having written more accident
insurance in the state of Indiana than
any other representative of the Trav-
elers Insurance company of Hartford.
AS a result he is one of five Indi-
ana agents who will be given a free
trip to Alexandria Bay, in the Thou
sand Island. where he will stay ten
days at the expense of the company.
Some time ago the company an
nounced that all agents who wrote a
certain amount of business between
Aug. 2. 1909. and June 80, 1910. would
be given this free trip.
Blackmun did not start in the con-
test until Jan. 1, and all of the other
agents had just that much advantage
over him. However, in the period be-
tween the above date and June 80,
Blackmun was able to write $415,0oO
worth of business.
This not only entitled him to the
trip, but gave him the distinction of
having written more business than any
other agent in the state. One reason
for the large amount of business writ
ten here is the fact that there are prob
ably more accident in the Calumet re-
gion than in any other part of the
state. Most of the busienss that has
been written by Blackmun is among
the business and professional men OF
the city.
