SNOW HURT FOOTBALL GAME
Neither Bemidji Nor Grand Rapids Wa.
Able to Score.

The Grand Rapids high school
football eleven played the local
championship aspirants to a stand
still yesterday afternoon on the Fair
grounds gridiron, the contest result
ing in a 90 score. AS the Bemidji
pigskin warriors defeated the Rapid
boys, earlier in the season, at Grand
Rapids, to the tune of 21.9, they ar
rived in the city determined to
come back" by handing the locals
the same dose.
The weather was anything but
satisfactory for fast football, there
being nearly two inches of snow
on the field, and making it i'm
possible for either eleven to show
the form of which it was capable,
but even with this great drawback
several spectacular plays were
pulled off.
The second half was played with
neither team gaining an advantage,
the punting game OF the first period
being resorted to almost entirely.
For Bemidji, Captain Larson, at full;
Mcdonald, at quarter; and Gould, at
left end, played brilliantly at all
periods of the contest, as did Nc
Lachlan and Brandon for the
Rapids. KS.

Shows By Evidence That His Office
Was Conducted Along the Line.

PRESENT SHERIFF In BAD LIGHT
Opponent Refuses to Throw Mud"
But Talks of ''Homesteader Fees

OnerlH HaZen, or someone Work.
ing in his behalf, has caused to be
issued a circular which attempts
to create the impression that
Thomas Bailey during his term of
Office received hundreds of dollars
illegally. Mr.. Bailey is indepen-
dent candidate for sheriff.
The Hazen circular is unsi gned.
1t first was intended for "select"
voters only but its hackers have
become bolder and the circulars
are being given a general dis
tribution. Sheriff Hazen himself
spent some time yesterday after
noon on the street giving them out
promiseuously. &c., <
Fear Of the libel and postal
laws prevents the Pioneer from re-
producing the circular, of which
Thomas Bailey has this to say:
My attention has been called to
an unsigned circular letter, whose
author evidentally desires to con-
ceal his identity, circulated either
by A. B. Hazen or by some person
in bis behalf attacking my record
as Sheriff of this county, and
making certain accusations in
regard to alleged over charges as
such Sheriff.
This screed is what might be ex-
pected from my opponent, and
would be treated with the contempt
it deserves, except that it might de-
ceive certain voters who. do not en-
Joy a personal Acquaintance with
Mr.. Hazen.
I desire to emphatically deny
that there is anything owing BEL
trami County from me, in any way
whatsoever, and deny that one cent
was ever illegally charged by me or
for me with my knowledge and
intent.
In business involving the sum
of about $4,000, in part necessarily
conducted by deputies and clerks,
it would be miraculous if no error
occurred. I know that many have
occurred against me.
All items mentioned in the Hazen
epistle are legal and legitimate, with
the exception of the Henderson
matter, which occurred through the
oversight of clerk, and was cor
rected promptly by me upon its dis
covery.
I have lived in this county thir-
teen years. and still live here, and
have property in sight subject to
execution. There have been at least
four different county attorneys, and
many different County Boards, and
many Public Examiners have gone
over my accounts. If there were
illegal charges, the courts have been,
and still are open to any taxpayer
who desires to test the question, and
it is hardly probable that all county
commissioners, as we'll as all county
attorneys, would have so neglected
their duties as not to bring suit for

Union Men Declare That
They Were Turned Down
BY Hammond Business
Mems Association Ex-
planation Given.

It is very likely that the Associated
Trades and Labor Council of Lake
county will not hold a Labor day cele-
bration in Hammond. AT q meeting
last night a committee was appointed
to go to Gary and see what encour-
agement they would get to hold the en-
tire Lake county celebration in that
city
The whole reason for the decision to
go to Gary and not to have a celebra-
tion in Hammond was the refusal OF
the Hammond Business Mems associa-
tion to give the committee from the
Associated Trades and Labor Council
an open letter to the business men
asking them to donate towards defray-
ing the expenses of the affair.
At recent meeting of the Hammond

BARRIERS
RAISE NEW
SCALE TO-DAY

The above is a tentative price sched-
ule which the Maste Barbers' associa-
ton of Hammond adopted at a meet
ing last night. Thus far there is moth
ing binding about it, and If it goes
into effect at all it will not be until
Sept. 1.
The advance in prices is due to a res
olutfon by the Journeymen BARRIERS
union of Hammond to the Masters as
ISOLATION asking for a higher scale Of
wages. They are now receiving s13 a
week and half of what they earn over
$40. They ask for SIS a week and
half of what they earn over $40.
To increase their percentage they
suggested an increase in the various
prices. The master barbers while
adopting some of the suggestions.
found the others prohibitive. The two
scales put forth by each side were
merely suggestions. and as each side is
made up OF a reasonable lot of intelli-
gent fellows a little matter like a wage
scale will be easily adjusted.

GARY GETS TENTH DISTRICT
MEETING FOR AUGUST 20


Similar meetings have already been
held in the Sixth, Ninth and Twelfth
districts. The date for the Eighth dis
trict meeting was deferred until after
the county conventions have been held
Neither was any date set for the Elev-
enth district
1t is said that at a meeting held
recently by the Republican candidates
for congress in the various Indiana
districts there was a practically unan-
imous expression that the Republican
members of congress from Indiana the
next session would not vote for Speak
er Cannon for reelection. A strong
sentiment prevailed, so it said that
the Indiana members should support
an Indiana man for Speaker, and the
Indiana man would. of course, be Con-
gressman Crumpacker. by reason of his
long and able service in the House.
1t is said that several of the candidates
said they would not under any circum-
stances vote for Cannon.
Congressman Crumpacker is recog-
nized as one of the strong Republican
leaders in Congress, and the Indiana
candidates believe that he would make
a model speaker. They believe, too,
that If Indiana does its duty this year

Republican delegation, redeeming some
of thh districts which were lost two
years ago it will stand a good chance
of electing Crumpacker as the success
sor to Cannon.
The proposition of the Democrats to
bring Gompers into the state again
this year is bold stroke on their part
to try to overcome the opposition of
organized labor to their party. and the
Republicans do not believe that 1t will
have any great effect on the result

entire stock of the Bazaar store, which
