Burke, 1T is this genuineness in the
character of the people that compose
this entertaining exhibition and to en-
phasize that fact Colonel Cody has de.
cided on his farewell tour of the con-
tinent, to visit the various places that
were the very theater of the scenes
and incidents in real history that he
is producing, and with the real people
who have been identified with the
same"
Naturally, Bismarck stands prom

thrilling episodes, the most savage

contests, with all that the word i'm
plies, were waging between the white
man and the red. There are so many
doubling Thomass now" said the
Major, that the original incredulous
Thomas, if he lived today, would
scarcely make a record in the ten
cent picture show"
For this reason, the Major refers
to the fact that with the authorization
Of the U. S. government that Col.
Cody was permitted to negotiate
and secure no less a noted person
than Sitting Bull, and large staff of
his favorite warriors, led by Grow
Eagle, Spotted-Horn-Bull, Crow King,
Dog Ghost, Tall Thunder, Frisking
ELK and others, to tour with his eyhi-
bition through the East. Old citizens
remember their arrival and departure
from Bismarck.
Promising a future account of that
mission the major changed the sub.
ject to the coming Wild West and Far
East, you all know Barry, the old
time army photographer, formerly Of
Bismarck, we'll, l just received some
splendid photos of Indian celebrities
from him. He is in Superior and he
visited the exhibition in Duluth. He
writes: Il hate to call you DOWN.,
l always thought that though you
were stickler for conservative state.
you always reached the truth.
To this exhibition this year you have
not done justice, why, it is far beyond
your claims, and excells anything in
the exhibition line ever given"
Here's a little extract from the
New York Press I believe will be
observed the Major:
"Col Cody and Major Lille paw
nee BilD, do much service to the coun-
try in an educational way at the same
time that they give so much pleasure.
They stimulate a lively interest in
a phase of American history that may
be studied with profit by the heirs
to the rich legacy left us by those
who won the West. They acquaint
Us with the manners of peoples all
over the globe that are strangers to
most of us. They emphasize univer-
sal brotherhood and show was the
of life lived in rugged physi'
:al activity.
Zone can learn more from Colonel
cody than from Hendrick Ibsen. We
nave profted more by listening to
Major Burke's personal tales of the
rontier for an evening than by seeing |
Ill the plays Of Clyde Fitch.
This is the last time that Ameri-
,ans will have the pleasure of seeing
he original genius of the wild west
ide at the head If his wonderful cos
collection of horsemen.
rhe Wild West show, of course, will
tay with us. It is an institution"

fessions Of William Brand and
Charles Stewart and the evidence of
P. B. Kearns before It, all of whom
are former councilmen,. and with
Hugh Ferguson. also former city fa-
ther seeking the district attorney to
make statement, 1t was expected
that the grand jury investigating the
municipal corruption, which resumed
its sessions today. would return its
final presentment within .twenty-four
hours, revealing the remainder of the
graft story. Accompanying the pre-
sentiment, 1t is said, will come addl-
tional indictments Of the men who are
alleged to have paid money to the
councilmen for naming the city de-
positorles. The men who paid for
one depository have already been con-
victed. Interest in the indignation

Whole Country Involved

Washington, April 1.-THE biggest
freight rate fight since the. passage
of the Hepburn rate bill entered the
final stages today when the govern
ment filed in the supreme court Of the
United States its brief in the so-called
Missouri river rate cases. The con-
tests involve the interests of the
manufacturers. jobbers, merchants
and railroads from the Atlantic sea-
board to the Rocky mountains.
The two cases which have attracted
the most attention are those concern
ing the class rates on through ship
ments originating on Atlantic sea-
board points and destined for Missouri
river cities. The third case involved
the class rates from Chicago and from
st. Louis to Denver.
All the cases will be argued at the
same time. The arguments are set
for Monday. but probably will not be
reached until later in the week.

New York, April 1.-Whatever Al

that he could avoid entering definite
plea to the Indictment charging him

general sessions court. There was
every indication that the the prosecut-
ing officers were as determined as
ever to make the case a record one
for speed in the New York courts and
bring to quick accounting the youth
charged with one of the most heinous
crimes in metropolitan criminal an
nails.

Late this afternoon Wolter pleaded
mot guilty" to the indictment after
two motions to throw out indictment
that had been made by his counsel,
Wallace D. Scott. and denied by Judge
Mulqueen. Wolter was remanded to
the Tombs. Assistant District Attor-
ney Frank Moss says he will be ready
to go on with the prosecution by

The police today reported that they
had traced another girl to VOTERS

to Support Party in Bal
linger- Pinchot Hearing
DEMOCRATS ARE SEEKING TO
nlkk POLITICAL CAPITAL
They VIII Not Attend Executive ses.
sions Unless They Are at Liberty to
Give the Discussions and Differences
to the Public.

washington, April 1.-The Ballin-
ger-Pinchot hearing went on today
with Secretary Ballinger's counsel in
charge Of the presentation of evidence.
The taking Of testimony in behalf of
the cabinet officer began last satur-
day afternoon after Attorney vertrees
had made an opening statement that
much of the. testimony against Bal
linger would be shown to be false.
The address sharply criticized James
r. Garfield and Clifford Pinchot for
their share in the attack upon the
secretary.
AS the hearing progresses the indi-
cations multiply that the COMPRESSION.
al committee is 80 seriously split along
party lines that a unanimous report
Is beyond the bounds Of possibility.
The Democratic members have gone
SO far as to notify their Republican
colleagues that the Democrats will
participate in executive sessions Of
committee only upon the understand
ing that the Democrats shall be free
to announce during the public meet
ings votes and contentious that take
place during the private sittings. The
executive sessions have not been very
harmonious. especially the one Of Sat
urday last when the question of COM
pelling Secretary Ballinger to testify
as the first witness for the defense"
was under consideration. Following
this session the Democrats announced
that with the exception. Of. Senator
PuftelE of North Dakota. they had
voted with those In favols OF compell-
ing the secretary Of the interior to
appear at once.
The taking of testimony before the
committee was interrupted by the
most serious clash among the SEN
ators and representatives that has yet
marked the. proceedings. Chairman
Nelson accused Attorney Brandeis Of
concealing certain facts and brought
from the latter demand that the re-
marks be stricken from the record, to-
gether with an intimation that IL the
chairman followed the proceedings
more closely he would see where his
remark was unjust. Some of the
Democratic members of the commit
tee moved to direct the chairman to
withdraw his remarks and it was this
motion that brought on the quarrel
which lasted for nearly an hour.
Senator Nelson refused to withdraw
his statement. A motion to lay the
matter on the table was finally adopt
ed by vote of 6 to 3.
Elmer e. Todd, United States dis
trict attorney at Seattle was the first
witness at the morning session, testi-
flying in behalf of Ballinger. Todd
contradicted a number of the state
ments made by Special Agent Jones as
to the efforts to secure criminal pro-
ceedings in the Alaska coal fraud
cases.
