Hope Expressed That State Will Not
Get Wrong Impression Regard
ing Beltrami.
WITNESS BRANDT SCOTS
Said to Have Left St. Paul in Taxi
Breaking Faith With State
- Officers.

1AdL IueIS are u ne lioTe' ueNefOp-
ments Of a startling character as a
result OF the arson case prosecutions
and the Puposky affair is admitted
by men who have been conducting
the prosecutions. 1t is understood
that the new move will in a way in
volve the charges made public by As
sistant Attorney General James in St.
Paul yesterday. 49,. -...- .-
1t is true that Sheriff A. B. Hazen
has informed Attorney General Simp-
son that an attempt was made by DR..
Dumas to bride him to pick the jury
in his behalf.
The alleged attempted bride was
| made, according to Sheriff Hazen the
| first of September when he was sub
poenaing witnesses for the Dumas
trial here in September.
Details of the Alleged Plan,
| The sheriff says the Cass Lake
mayor approached him and offered
$500 in cash and that he would place
$500 more in the hands of Jack Dali
ton, Bemidji saloonkeeper to be
paid following the Dumas trial, at
ter the jury either had brought in q
verdict of acquittal or disagreement.
The sheriff also says that second
attempt was made to bride him but
that in neither case was there any
money actually paid and that he told
| the Cass Lake mayor each time that
he could not be bought.
County Attorney Not Informed.
Il know nothing of the Sheriff Ha-
! zen affidavit" says County Attorney
Torrance, Except what I have seen
| in the press dispatches. I take it that
| if such a document has been made it
is in the hands of the attorney gener-
al. No suggestion Of any sort of a
prosecution regarding the matter has
been made to me, SO that so far as I
! know there will be no prosecution as
a result Of the affidavit, but in any
event such news under the circum-
stances naturally would come from
the attorney generals Office
Attorney e. E. Mcdonald, special
| counsel assisting the state in the
| prosecution of the arson cases has re-
turned to Bemidji from Brainerd. He
said he had seen copy of the Hazen
affidavit and that it includes an at
tempt to improperly influence him
at meeting at the home of former
| County Attorney Henry Funkley
when Attorney Freeman P. Lane, at
| torney for Dumas, was present.
Fear Wrong Impression.
Hopes are expressed here that the
state will not get a wrong impress
sion relative to, the position assumed
| by Beltrami county relative to Incl
| dental expenses regarding the arson
cases prosecution. Chairman Viggo
! Peterson and Commissioners Myhre
and Fellows who were present when
Assistant Attorney General James Of
fered his explanation last week in
sist that the board will pay all prop
er expenses and their position at the
| time the assistant attorney general
7 spoke to them must not be construed
| to mean that Beltrami wishes in any
| way to embarrass proper .prosecu-
lions. Chairman Peterson says he
has NO personal feeling in the matter
and that he will o. K. all legal bills.

TELL OF ST. CLOUD MEET
Delegates Return and Say Gathering
Was Hummer; Too Much Poll
tics Says opsahl.
MACKENZIE AGAIN SECRETARY

Beltrami county delegates to the
st. Cloud convention of the Northern
Minnesota Development association
divided in that city, some remaining
at St. Cloud to visit relatives and 9TH
ers proceeding to ST. Paul to attend
the land show, while still others have
returned to their homes.
1t is the concensus of opinion of
those who have returned that more
interest was manifest at st. Cloud
than at any other gathering of the
association. Generally speaking the
delegates gracefully accepted the de-
cision Of the convention to avoid the
extra call, although J. J. Opsahl of
this city, a delegate to the conven-
ton, is frank in his assertion that
there was more politics than devel-
opment" at the gathering.
International Falls was chosen as
the meeting place for the June meet
ing and Little Falls is looked upon
as the most likely point for the gath
ering a year from now, although
Thief River Falls may contest for
that honor.
c. M. King was elected president
to succeed II. J. Maxfeld of Wadena,
and W. R. Mackenzie of this city was
named secretary to succeed himself,

ton.
Walter J. Smith was reelected
treasurer. H. V. Eva of Duluth takes
w. E. Richardson's place on the exc
cutive committee, and W. J. Brown
of Warren and M. N. Kohl of Cass
Lake were reelected.
L. M. Rice Of Park Rapids and A.
M. Ogaard of Koochiching were ad-
ed to the good roads committee. The
substitution of L. B. Arnold on the
immigration committee, succeeding
w. A. McGonagle, was ratified by the
convention
: A surprise was sprung when Rep
resentatiye Dan P. O'Neil1 of Thief
River Falls moved to eliminate from
the resolution submitted by the COM
mittee that part relating to the sew
ex-senator bill. Before anybody knew
what was happening the motion had
carried. A motion for reconsidera-
ton was made, the reconsideration
was voted in response to an eloquent
plea by Senator James P. Boyle. of
Eveleth and the clause was restored
to the resolution.

Has the Right, Says Simpson.

Has the Right, Says Simpson.
While refusing to discuss the point
raised in the Gordon letter this
morning, Attorney General Simpson
says informally:
''The constitution seems plain in
designating absence from the state as
a vacancy and the right of the lieu
tenant governor in assuming the title
of governor and transacting the bust
ness of the state.''

Call May Be Out Tomorrow.
If the attorney general satisfies the
lieutenant governor of his legal right
and that such action could not be
rescinded by Governor Eberhart, the
call for an extra session will be is

Lieutenant Governor Gordon adj
dressed the following to Attorney
General Simpson:
Gordon's Appeal to Simpson.
"The question has been raised as
to whether Or not the duties of the
governors Office falls upon the lieu
tenant governor during the absence
of the governor from the state. Ny
attention has been called to the rul-
ing of the supreme court in a case
decided by them to the effect that the
temporary absence of the governor
from the state constitutes a vacancy
in that Office. If such is the case L
have no desire to evade any respon-
sibilities that would be placed upon
me. By reason of this circumstance
and my official position.
Il, therefore, turn to you as attor-
ney general of the state and request
that you give me your opinion on
this question as soon as possible.
Very respectfully yours,
'sSam. Y. Gordon,

story of the fight along the lines of
the testimony of previous witnesses.
She was on the stand when court ad-
journed.
At the morning session today the
examination of Belle White who was
on the stand when court adjourned
last night was continued. On cross
examination the witness stated that
the first trouble at the dance origi-
mated between jim Duplis and Thorn
as Mears over the breaking of the
stove. The witness was on the low
err floor of the house at the time of
the fight in which Cyrus Motif was
alleged to have been injured.
Martin Eddy was vigorously quest
toned by the state in relation to his
previous testimony before the grand
jury. When cross.examined by the
defence he stated that at the time
Fred Duplis came into the room Cy-
rus Motif had Jim Duplis by the
throat and Amos Motif had him by
the ear He also stated that the
stick of wood which Cyrus Motif
threw struck Nye Mears and bounded
against the Dashboard with sufficient
force to have killed a man had 1t hit
human head. He also stated that
Amos Motif called Jim Duplis a vile
name.

ATTEMPT TO BUST
BIG MAGAZINE
TRUST
Suit Brought Against Periodical
Cleaning House.
MANY PUBLISHERS NAMED
compIalnants Claim Combine Was
Organized to Get Grip on
Agents.
MANY PUBLISHERS NAMED

New York, June 2S-The United
States began suit here yesterday
against the Periodical Clearing House
and combination of the leading mag
azine publishing firms of the coun-
try. Unlawful combination and con-
spiracy in restraint of trade in VIC
lation of the Sherman Antitrust act
is charged A restraining order is
sought prohibiting the continuance of
the arrangement between the pub
fishers and multiplying all the con-
tracts by which this arrangement ex-
lists. Fully a score of the leading
publishing houses are named in the
bill
The bill of complaint describes the
Periodical Clearing House as a New
York corporation, having an authoriz-
ed capital stock of $4,000, consisting
OF twenty shares of 800 par value
each and an office at 156 Firth Ave
nue. Various of the defendants, to-
gether with Hamptons Magazine,
which is not made a defendant in the
suit, are named as its stockholders,
and the individuals named in the
complaint constitute us DOdIu Vi LII
rectors. The complaint makes it ap'
pear that the magazine publishers
combined to get a grip upon the
agents handling the eventual sale OF
their product and to eliminate com
petition in the magazine field.
The petition recites that prior to
July 1909, there were and are now in
this country upwards of 10000 cor
porations, copartnerships and individ
uals engaged in producing, publishing
and selling periodicals in open and
free competition. The petition furth
er says that following the organiza
ton of the Periodical Clearing House
in July, 1909, notices we're sent to al
of the principal subscription agencies
and agents in the country notifying
them that they would have to sigr
the contract with the Periodical
clearing House, if such agencies in
tended to do further business will

BALTIMORE BIDS 100000
More Than That Ready for Demo-
cratic National Convention.

Baltimore, June 26.-Chairman
Robert Grain of the finance commit
tee appointed to secure subscriptions
to the 100000 guarantee fund re-
quired to bring the national democra-
tic convention to this city, announces
that the amount has been oversub-
scribed.
The amounts subscribed by the cor
porations, tinanciers, merchants, pro-
fessional men and representatives of
the various trades, republicans as
well as democrats, vary. They range
from 81 to $4,000.
The largest subscribers are the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, the Pen
nsylvania railroad, the United Rail-
way & Electric company and Capt.
Isaac Emerson, each of whom has
subscribed $4,000.
To Chairman Grain has also been
delegated the task of inducing the
national democratic committee to ac-
cept the offer of Baltimore's enter
prislng citizens. He has not been
idle in this direction. When not
busy here soliciting subscriptions he
was at Washington laboring with the
democratic committeeman and Nom
bers of Congress whose influence was
desired to prevail upon the repre-
sentatives of the national body to
vote for Baltimore. In this he has
been uniformly successful, and while
not assured that a majority will vote
to bring the convention here he is
very much encouraged by the replies
he has received.
