Alderman Roe Gathering Information
With Idea Of Permitting Vote at
Next Election
NOW USED BY MANY CITIES
Believed to Eliminate "Polics" and
Protect Citizen. BY Giving Them
New Power.

Bemidji may have a chance to
vote on the proposition of changing
to the commission form of govern.
ment, at the coming city election in
February.
Knute K. Roe, alderman of the
third ward. has become interested
and today received phamplets from
DesMoines, explaining at length the
famous commission plan by which
that city is ruled.
- 1T can do no harm to investi-
gate" said Mr.. Roe today, and if
we find that it might be desirable
for Bemidji, the change can be
voted on, giving the citizens a
chance to express their wishes"
Eighty.two cities in the United
States have since Galveston, Tex
as, first tested it-traded their old
charters for the commission form.
There is but one city in Minnesota
now governed by a commission,
Mankato.
The plan, loosely stated, is ia
eliminate city politics and transact
the business of the city by depart.
ments, the voters at all times reserv.
ing the right to make changes Of
membership. 4
- In Des Mo.zsasthsres ATE five de.
partments: public affairs, accounts
and finances, public safety, streets
and public Improvements and parks
and property.
Of course these departments
could be narrowed down to suit
the needs of smaller city.
Mr.. Roe proposes to gather in
telligent information as to the ex-
act workings of the commission
plan and if enough interest is dis.
played will endeavor to have il
brought up for a vote in February.

KAISER SCORED
IN RE|CHSTAC
Socialist Member Assails
German Emperor.
- q
RULER SHOULD BE GAGGED

Speaker Declares Wilhelm Is Not
Keeping His Promise to Avoid Pub
lie Observation-Disclosures His Pre-
tensions to "Divine Right" and Says
Dragging About His Ancestors Is
Not Only Bad Taste but Irritating.
Berlin, Nov. 2S.-An attempt to
gag Emperor William by law is to
be made by the Socialist members of
the reichstag.x .-~....,.-... .,....
- In a hitter. speech filed with invec-
tive Herr Ledebour assailed the recent
utterances of the kaiser ridiculed his
pretensicns of divine right" and said
the public utterances along the line Of
those recently made by the monarch
were not only in dad taste," but posi-
lively irritating to all Germans who
have the welfare of the nation at
heart.
what measures will the chancellor
take to keep the pledges given to this
reichstag by Prince Won Buelow?" de-
manded Ledebour.
these were given solemnly in the
name of the emperor only to be ruth
lessly violated by his majesty at KOe
nigsburg and other places. Did the
pledges mean nothing? Cannot the
German people believe that promises
made from the throne are intended to
be kept? If this is the case, and the
recent developments would seem to
indicate that it is, then the time has
come when legislation must be enact
ed that will keep the ruling monarch
from making public utterances that
reflect on his people.
'"The speech at Koenigsburg endan-
gered German honor and German safe
ty. The nation expects that the en-
peror will maintain his promise of re.
severe in public hereafter. His recent
speeches clarifying his ancestors and
unfolding the claim Of rule by divine
right were in very bad TASTE They
have had an irritating effect on the
people and have tended to hold the
German nation up to the ridicule OF
the world"
Herr Ledebour spoke for an hour In
this strain, his speech being punctu
ated by wild applause from the So
cialist members.

SHARPLY CRlTIClZES COUNCIL
Says Action of Opening Closed Bars
Was Sure to Result in Ruin and
Devastation"

All of the saloons of Bemidji are

This is the most significant mes
sage given out by w. E. Pussyfoot"
johnson, whose power in enforcing
the Indian treaty is supreme, who
arrived in Bemidji at 1890 this
morning over the 500.
You can say" said Mr.. Johnson,
and quote me as strongly as you
wish, that all the saloons in Bemidji
and the other towns affected by the
treaty of 1855 will be closed"
when will they be closed?" was
asked.
L will not answer that question
further than to say very shortly the
end of their existance is near at
hand"
1t has b,en said that Bemldji
would be the last town to be closed?"
continued the reporter.
That IS news to me-" replied
russyfoot."
Mr.. Johnson is anything but the
type of man his enemies might ex-
pect to see. There are no horns
sprOuting from his head and no Wis
ible artillery is strapped about his
waist.
Of more than average height and
stockily built, he appears not unlike
a prosperous business man. Streaks
of gray in his stubby mustache show
MIN to be man who has seen many
years of service. He greets one
cordially and there is no trace of
bitterness in what he has to say of
those who oppose his work.
Immediately upon his arrival in
Bemidji, Mr.. Johnson went to the
telegraph Office where large bundle
of kilograms were awaiting him.
These he took to his room, No 81 at
the Markham hotel, and most of the
day has been spent in writing letters
and sending messages.
In referring to the squad of agents
working out of here under T. E..
Brents, Mr.. Johnson said:
They are busy in the vicinity of
Perham today, closing two small
towns-so small in fact that l have
forgotten their Names"
Mr.. Johnson would not say when
the agents would arrive in Bemidji.
There are just two things that l
am willing to say. First, that the
Bem,dji saloons will be closed and

Secretary Mackenzie, However Still
Hopes They Will be Ready for
Brainerd Meeting.
SPECIAL CAR WILL BE PROVIDED
Will Leave Bemidji ON Wednesday
Night, Occupants Thu. Being
Assured of Sleep.

w. R. Mackenzie, secretary of the
Northern Minnesota Development
association, is keeping the wires hot
with entreaties to the officials of the
census bureau at Washington, to
make public the census by counties
of Minnesota.
Up to late this afternoon no an
swer had been received from Wash
ineton.
This information is of vast i'm.
portance as without it it will be i'm
possible for the convention to draw
up a reapportionment bill-the most
important work of the Brainerd
meeting which assemblies for two
days on Thursday morning of this
week.
I still expect the figures to ar
rive in time for use at the conven-
tion," said Mr.. Mackenzie today.
If for any reason, however, they
should not come, it is probable that
the convention would appoint COM
mittee to draw the reapportionment
bill later"
Increased enthusiasm is daily
manifest in Bemidji over the
Brainerd meeting.
~ am highly gratified with the
interest being shown by citizens of
Bemidji," said Mr.. Mackenzie,
"and we have reason to believe
that this city will have one of the
biggest and best delegations"
Arrangements were today CON-
pleted for the special Pullman car
which is to be used by many of
those going from Bemidji. The
car will be attached to the regular
south bound train on the Mime
sofa & international on Wednes-
day night. Those who wish can
sleep in the car.
The car can accommodate only
about forty persons and Mr.. Mac
kenzie suggests that those desiring
a berth secure reservation without
delay. u
Mr.. Mackenzie leaves tomorrow
morning for Brainerd to remain
until after the convention,
Detroit land men and others inter-
ested in local business affairs are
{ planning to put the liquor question
squarely before the Northern Mime
sofa Development association when
it convenes in Brainerd Dec. 1, to
determine if some action may be
taken to set aside the liquor clause
in the Indian treaties. They are
not optimistic regarding congress-
ional action along this line, and say
none may be hoped for unless there
is far-reaching sentiment against
the lid"

compliment" laughed Mr.. Johnson.
Mayor Parker had a short confer.
ence with Mr.. Johnson at the hotel
which appeared satisfactory to both
gentlemen.

handed the city council a scorching
roast.

how long he would remain in Be

told in two words: Mental collapse.
For weeks before the fight, Jeffries
received hundreds of letters from ad-
mirers imploring him to whip John
son. They told him he was the hope

on his mind and simply unnerved him.
When he entered the ring his brain
