JUDGE STANTON HEARD
LITIGATION IN COURT
Three Judges Will Decide Constitu'
tionality Of State Fire
Warden Law.

Judge Stanton yesterday con-
cluded the consideration of several
important matters of litigation prior
to returning, last night, to Grand
Rapids to reconvene today the term
of district court for Itasca county,
which had been adjourned for one
week.
Judge Stanton states that the mat
ter Of rendering the decision on the
constitutionality of the state fire
warden law of 1909 will be taken up
by Judges McClenahan, Wright and
Stanton some time during the term
of court to be held here common cling
the fourth Tuesday in February.
Each of the judges has pending a
distinct case calling for decision
as to the constitutionality of the
patrol section of the fire warden law,
and in order that the fullest con-
sideration may be given these cases
each of the judges decided that the
entire judiciary of this Fifteenth
district should sit in banc on the
cases and render their decision
after careful consideration.
These cases are important ones as
the constitutionality of the fire
warden law is attacked by lumber
and railroad companies; and it is
likely that the decision, no matter
in what form given, will be appealed
to the state supreme court.
Proceedings have been instituted
in district court, before Judge Stan
ton, for the establishment of a
state ditch in Koochichlng county,
near Margie. The ditch will
drain some $4,000 acres of land
and it is estimated that the cost will
be something like $4,000. This
ditch is tributary to the Dinner
Creek, running near Margie, and
when constructed will reclaim a
large amount of land that will be
most excellent for agricultural pur-
poses.
Judge Stanton has granted to Mrs.
Dawes of Pine River an absolute
divorce from her husband, J. G.
Dawes. A divorce was also granted
to Mrs. Alma L. Johnson from her
husband, Hannibal Johnson, she to
take her maiden name of Alma
Sykes.
Judge Stanton has filed an order
denying the motion for a new trial
in the case of Peter A. Nelson ct al
vs.. John Moberg, in which case

and reapportionment meeting to
be held in Bemidji Thursday and
Friday, February 1913, is being
shown every day since the call for.
the convention was issued, and the
intents and purposes of the gather

That much good can be accom-

cannot be better illustrated than
in the following able article, which
appeared in the editorial columns
of the Duluth Evening Herald of
Tuesday last:
Big things can be made to result
from the proposed conference of
Northern Minnesota interests at
Bemidji, Feb. II and 10. Whether
the meeting effects compact and
resolute and aggressive organization
for the common good of the COM
munities of the northern two thirds
of the state, or result in a painful
fasco, depends upon the interest
taken in it by the various commune
ties, upon the character of the men
they select to represent them, and
upon the earnestness with which
these men 20 about their work.
When the meeting was an
nounced, The Herald stated, with
out talking with any officer of the
Duluth Commercial club, that that
body would be found alert and ready
to do its share. That statement has
been borne out by the action of the
club. Now if the other commercial
clubs of Northern Minnesota will
take action equally effective, and
if the county commissioners and
legislative members will use their
authority to appoint delegates and
pick men who will go and speak
out in meeting, the Bemidji con-
ference can make itself historic,

CHANGE OF VENUE HAS
Been GRANTED F0URNIER
Judge McCIenahan Orders Aagot Dahl
Murder Case to Be Tried in
Aitkin 70.

judge of the Fifteenth Judicial dis
trict, has granted a change of
venue from this (Beltrami) county
to Aitkin county, in the case of
the State of Minnesota VS.. Paul
Fourier, charged with the crime
Of murder in the first degree-the
alleged killing OF Aagot Dahl near
Curing, this county, in March,
1904.
The motion for the change OF
venue was argued before Judge
McClenahan at Brainerd, on
Thursday, January II, Chester
McKusick, county attorney of Bel
tram county, appearing on behalf
of the state and C. w. Scrutchin
of Bemidji, representing Fourier.
Judge McClenahan granted the
motion yesterday and filed his or
der granting the change of venue,
in which he says:
The court, having duly con.
sidered the af6davits submitted fo,
and against the granting of said
motion, and being satisfied that a
fair and impartial trial of said action
cannot be had in the county wherein
it is now pending, and being other
wise advised in the premises, it is
ordered and directed that said
defendant be tried in the county oil
Aitkin, in said state, and that the
place of trial of said action be
changed from said county of Bel
trami to said county of Aitkin."
In the memorandum attached tc
the order, Judge McClenahan says
The conditions surrounding thi:
case differ in no essential particular
from those obtaining in the case o.
the state against this same defend
ant, wherein he was indicted for the
killing of N. 0. Dahl, and in which
change of venue was ordered, anc
the same considerations prompt the
making of this order"
At the new trail which was given
Fourier at Brainerd on the charge
of killing N. o. Dahl, he was acquit
ted, last December. ...>
tits thought that while there is
practically no new evidence to offe,
in the trial of Fourier for the muir
der of Aagot Dahl, yet there will be
a much stronger case presented
against Fourier when the trial for
the murder of Aagot Dahl is broug hi
up in Aitkin county.

sissippi were received by the auditor
yesterday, and tabulated with the sta
tistics recently compiled by him show
ing the condition of the 32S state
banks.
The total resources of state banks
are $66.6Ss, ,649.9S and, resources of
national banks are $21, $685. ,626.45,
forming grand total of $SS, S,197 ,276.43.
as compared with $S1, 1,354 ,3O3.S7 on the

S42,972.56 for the annual period.
Loans and discounts show a grand
total Of $56,713,237.34 an increase of
s5,SS5, 1881 for the annual period.
The combined capital stock of state
and national banks is 6,159,OO3.42, a
decrease of $36,O333O, as compared
with the same date last year. This
is attributed to the fact that in several
communities state banks realized that
they were over-capitalized and made
reductions.
There was on deposit subject to
check In state and national banks on
June End total of $44,S13,O7S.3O, an
increase of $1,671, ,040.30, as compared

"The combined statement is in
every way satisfactory one,' said
State Auditor Smith this morning. 81

statements from the state banks, and
find that they are in exceptionally
healthy shape. For state with less
than two million population to show
bank deposits of more than s55,O0O,-

REPORT Of COMMISSION ON
Home BASE OF MISSIONS

Missions. The commission also in
cludes the Rev. A. Woodruff Hal
sey, secretary of the Home Depart
mont of the Board of Foreign Mis-
sions of the Presbyterian church; Mrs.
Helen B. Montgomery, secretary of
the Woman's Baptist Missionary So
ciety. and John w, Wood, correspond
ing secretary of the Domestic and For
eign Missions Society of the Protes-
tant Episcopal Church in the United
States of America
Promotion of intelligence.
Under the head of Promotion of
Missionary Intelligence" the report
asks for more enthusiastic missionary
work in the pulpits at home. ''The
leaders of missionary enterprise" it
continues, "are unanimous in their
Judgment as to the imperative import
ance of interesting the boyhood and
girlhood of the churches in the work
of foreign missions. One of the most
encouraging features of missionary
advance is the rapid development of
the work in the Sunday School field
during the last five years" A con-
census Of opinion gathered by the
commission as to the best means of
interesting and enlisting the services
of children gives first place to con-
secutive courses of missionary instruc-
tion or study apart from Sunday
School lessons. Other methods advis-
ed are: Children's working parties or
similar outlets for active help, def
mite missionary lessons in Sunday
School and missionary addresses to
children.
Missionary Literature.
During the last fiscal year, the re-
port says, 3,533.54O copies of PAM
phlets and leaflets relating to the
missionary work have been issued,
The cost of distribution for five years
was $209,951. and for the last pear
$52,41S, or about cent and a half
per leafiet. The money thus spent is
about one and one-siteenth per cent of
the total receipts of mission boards.
The commission finds that very lit
tie is being offered in the line of spe-
cific courses on missions in the curric-
ula of the academic institutions Of
America outside the UNCONVENTIONAL
schools. Increasing effort, however,
is being made to treat the subject
more or less exhaustive1y in connec-
tion with the departments of compare
tive religion, pedagogy, anthropology,
histology, sociology, sacred literature,
political science, ethics, history of re-
ligion, philosophy and Oriental re-
ligion.
