Fire Chief CrOker-We need laws which will give us not mere-s Iy fire proof but death proof buildings.
 District Attorney Whitman-H the right kind of laws are lacking, public opinion will get them.
 Fire Commissioner Waldo There are many buildings of the Asch class in this city in which even worse conditions prevail.
 Acting Superintendent of Build ings Alfred c. Ludwig-The law requires that doors leading to stairways shall open outward wherever practicable. The doors in the Asch building opened in- ward. f
 Manhattan Borough President George McAneny-It is obvious that under the present building code there is too much division of responsibility.

Columbus Show Said To Be Greatest
Of Kind Ever Held.

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 27.-With
the opening of the National Corn Ex-
position in the city but few days
distant, the arrangements for the big
show are practically completed. The
exhibition will be the largest and
most notable anair of its kind ever
held. Eight immense buildings on
the Ohio State Exposition grounds
will be used for the exkssttlon: More
than IS states have installed Compel
tive exhibits. -. These deal in a prac-
tical way with nearly every phase
in the science of agriculture.
The National Corn Exposition was
organized five years ago. The first
show was held in Chicago. Since
that time the show has been held in
Chicago, Omaha and Columbus. A
strong movement is under way to
have the exhibition held next year
in the south. If the movement is
successful the show will probably be
held in Columbia, S. c., where the
South Atlantic states corn exposi-
tion was held last fall.

INTEREST BEING AROUSED
Important Business Meeting of Com
mercial Club Monday Evening.

Much interest is being aroused in
connection with the business meeting
Of the Bemidji Commercial Club
which has been called for next Mon
day evening.
The chief matter to be taken up
will be that of obtaining better and
larger quarters. The building COM
mittee has recommended the O'Leary-
Bowser proposition to the club. The
O'Leary- Bowser company have con-
sented to rearrange the upper story
of their building on Third street so
as to suit the members of the club
and it is very likely that they will
accept the report of the building
committee.

MAN SWIMS SPOKANE RIVER
Leonard Knowles Says Cold Bath is
Health Medium.

Spokane, Wash, Jan. 27.-As an
illustration of the value of physical
culture in it's higher development,
H. Leonard Knowles of Spokane
physical culture director and devotee
of the doctrine, successfully swan the
Spokane river from bank to-bank at
1925 o'clock the afternoon of Janu-
airy Fl, also winning a wager of 800
made with E. E. Walker of the Spo-
kane Hardware company. Knowles
advocated the cold water bath as
health medium, while Walker holds
that it has nothing but poor features.
This is said to be first time the swim
has ever been made in midwinter.
A crowd of nearly $500 witnessed
the feat. The thermometer stood
at 81 degrees and the temperature of
the water at the freezing point.
Knowles used the Australian crawl
stroke. When he was a quarter Of
the way across he turned over on his
back and shouted to the crowd:
Fine dope, boys!'' Knowles swan
the Columbia river last January and
is an ardent exponent of the cold
water bath theory from a hygienic
and health standpoint.

Some joke on the boosters of the

dear brothers and lovers of the ring.
Yea, DO! For Carl Morris, the huge
Oklahoman, touted as the grandest
young elephant of many seasons, is
an Indian. anu, therefore, shouldn't

When Morris was visiting the Kan

dark complexion. Morris explained
that he came by these features nat

Indian of Oklahoma. His father is

c. c. ANDREWS HAMpEREl
Says He Has Not Enough Funds To
Do Effective Work.

General c. c. Andrews is not at
all excited about the attack being
made on his position as forestry COM
missioner. It has been reported that
a committee of the foresty board is
drawing up bill covering the pro-
lection of the forests of the state
which contemplates the employment
Of younger man than General An
drews as head of the work.
Yesterday General Andrews ar
gued that the state appropriation is
too small to accomplish as much as
is desirable.
"Mr. Marshall, the government
superintendent, has $4,000 a year
at his command" said Mr.. An
drews." The Minnesota National
forest is protected by three big lakes.
The appropriation for caring for it
amounts to about s cents an acre.
At the same rate I should have for
state forests $1,5Oo,ooo a year. In
stead of that sum, last year l had
$4,000 less than Che government
forester had.
'The government also has a SUPER
intendent of logging and an assist
ant, not included in the total amount
named. These men watch the log
ging and see the slashings are burn
ed properly"
The bill drawn by General An
drews has been approved by the for
estry commission of Michigan. It
is now under consideration by the
forestry committee of the House,
which may present it as committee
bill. ...... .~.
1.-THE bill is drawn solely in the
interest of the state" said General
Andrews.

Is Story That Has Been Read By
Nearly Every Resident In and .
About the City of Bemidji. J
ENTIRE BILL FEATURE TONIGHT
"Oh You Skeleton" and the @Ghost
Of the Oven" Are Other Numbers
On the Opening Program.

The House of Seven Gables is a
story that has been read by most
people and one that is highly appre-
ciated by its readers. 1t has also
been the desire of every reader to see
his story acted out. This desire can
be realized to the fullest extent by
visiting the Majestic Theatre tonight
where the film will be shown COM
plete.
The management of the Majestic
has tried for some time to secure
this feature film for his patrons and
much credit is due him for having
succeeded.
The second film tonight is entitled
"Oh, You Skeleton" probably almost
every one would scream and run who
turned around and saw a skeleton
sitting beside him. This is just
what Martha did and possibly the
poor girl is running yet. There is no
doubt but those who witness this
picture will laugh whenever they
think of it.
.Ghost of the Oven" Is another
one OF those comedies that one enjoys
seeing. although the name does
sound rather creepy. 1t is a laugh
producer in every sense of the word.
The price Of admission tonight is
the same as usual, ten cents, and
anyone of the films is more than
worth the price The entire bill is
an unusually strong one and should
pack the house to it's doris.
The illustrated song entitled
Little Star Won't You Twinkle"
will be sung by c.. J. Woodmansee.

MAIL CLERKS SEEK RELIEF
Meeting Tomorrow To Discuss Means
Of Gaining Points.

Two hundred railway mail clerks
from Minneapolis, St. Paul and the
northwest will meet Saturday in
St. Paul to discuss means of gaining
extra pay for extra service. There
is an undercurrent of dissatisfaction
with Norman Perkins, division sup
erintendent, but conservative clerks
in Minneapolis today said no open
breach was expected.
Mr.. Perkins is said by some clerks
to be too eager to carry out s:econ-
omy" policies, and fails to show re-
gard for men under him.

Only one change has been made in
the lineup of the Bemidji quintet,

has never had much experience as a

athlete, and no doubt will make
good.
The Bemidji lineup this evening
will be as follows: Larson, (cap-

Later information relative to
President Taft's Intentions as to the
modification of the minor treaties
is that he will remove the restric-
lions on all territory where he has
the authority. 1t is expected that
formal announcement covering the
entire liquor situation will be made
in a few days.
The acceptance of the Amidon de-
cision, which removes the lid from
Minneapolis and practically all the
southern part of Minnesota, win
make it unnecessary for the presi-
dent to issue any executive order re-
lative to the sale of liquor in this
territory.
He did not have the option of mod
flying the treaty of 1855, that DOW
er lying with congress alone. Auth
critics here differ in their opinion
whether the supreme court will sus-
tain or reverse Judge Wizards de-
cision and it was because of this diff
ference of opinion that decision to
appeal was reached. w. G. Calder
wood, of the Minnesota prohibition
committee, was largely instrumental
In impressing upon the minds of the
officials of the interior department
that the Willard decision was good
law and, as has been stated here
tofore in these dispatches, called the
attention of the authorities to sever
al decisions by the supreme court
in conflict with Judge Will
lard's conclusions.
S. E. Nicholson, representing the
anti-saloon league, has indicated to
the PRESIDENT that his organization
does not oppose modification of the
treaty of 1854, covering the north
eastern part of the state, and it is
that the president will issue
an order lifting the lid in that ter
ritory. ..-.-
Pending a decision by the supreme
court, Judge Wizards decision will
stand, and the state of Minnesota will
have to enforce the local liquor laws
in the 1855 territory.
