CORONATION" NOW ON HERE
Pictures of English Historical Event
Obtained Under Difficulties.

Persons who were unable to cross
the ocean to see King George crowned
monarch of England can now pur-
chase comfortable seat in Be-
midi Third street theater and enjoy
the sights without all the trouble and
expense incident to trip to London,
to say nothing about avoiding the
dread seasickness or the crowds
which blocked the streets of the
British metropolis. Bemidji probab-
ly is the first small city in the state
to get these pictures, which have
been in such demand in the larger
cities that it has been impossible to
obtain them before this time. C. J..
Woodmansee obtained the coronation
films which were shipped direct to
him from Minneapolis. They will be
shown here for the first time tonight.

midi Stopping Place on Way
to the Park.

At a meeting of the Bemidji Com
mercial Club last evening arrange
ments for moving the club into the
new quarters in the modern brick
building, Third street and Minnesota
avenue, were discussed.
1t has been planned to move into
the new building on August l but it
is now unlikely that the new home
will be ready for another week, as
the workmen have not quite COM
pleted their work, and some OF the
new furniture and electric fixtures
have not yet arrived.
An elaborate opening is being
planned for. the new rooms, and at
the meeting last evening the chair
man of the entertainment committee
was authorized to arrange for a So
cial smoker, to be given as soon as
the new rooms are put in shape, some
time within the next two weeks.

their destination, and failing in this
to have them stop here on the way
to the park.

WHITTIER MUST TESTIFY
Assistant Attorney General Rules
That Red Wing Man Can't Es-
cape Stand.
REFUSAL MAY MEAN DISMISSAL

ST. Paul, Aug. Refusal OF SUI
perintendent Whittier's counsel to
permit him to be called by the de-
tense as an 1uvlerslz wftness WIN bdn-
,stitute insubordination on the part of
the Red Wing superintendent.
This would not only make him Ii
able to instant dismissal but other
penalties. -
This is the conclusion given out
today at the attorney generals Office
in answer to certain question sub
mitted to it by the board of control
as to their right to order Mr.. Whit
tier to take the stand for Mr.. San
born, attorney for Ralph w. Vince
lock, in whose name the charges
against Mr.. Whittier have been
brought.
c.. Louis Weeks, attorney general,
has prepared an opinion today to be
submitted to the board and it is Civ
en- out that Mr. Whittier must take
the stand, and that his refusal might
be a reversible error should the case
be appealed to the courts.
St. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 2.-Assum-
ing all the responsibility for pun
ishment inflicted in the girl train
ing school at Red Wing, while she
was matron, Miss Edith A. Kassing
now of Morganza, Pa, spent two
hours yesterday in giving her depo-
sition as part of the hearing in the
complaint for the removal of Frank
A. Whittier as superintendent.
RI was employed at the State Train
ing School from June, 1900, to May,
1910, the last five years as matron, -
testified Miss Kassing.
She stated that she spanked Mar
garet Burns February "a, 1910, with
a ruler, but did not remove any
clothing.
did you ever, in. inflicting pun
ishment, remove clothing?" asked
Mr.. Wilson.
81 never did"
Nearly every girl summoned testi-
fed that clothing had been removed.
Miss Kassing testified that she had
punished girls for knocking down
one of the teachers, swearing and
threatening to fight the witness.
This punishment was inflicted with
rubber hose. Miss Kassing said she
had never given more than rs blows
and asserted positively that neither
Mr.. Kinney nor any other male at
tendants had assisted in inflicting
punishment.
Miss Kassing testified to using
rubber horse July 3, 1909, on Eva
Loughlin and Sarah Frazier but de-
MED that harness trace or tug had
| been used. She could not recall that
she had ever punished Grace Taylor

Simpson Quite Indignant.

Simpson will address letter to
the governor stating that in his opin-
ion, and in the opinion of the state
fire marshal's Office, it would be more
advisable to hold the Hazen charges
until after the Dumas trial.
No secret is made at the capitol
of the alleged fact that Dumas
friends are said to be behind the
charges filed against Sheriff Hazen,
and that the Dumas crowd is anxious
to get Hazen out of the way.
Governor Eberhart returned to the
capitol this morning and about the
first thing he did was to take up the
Hazen proposition with the attorney
general.
He is said to have keenly resented
the accusation made by Viggo Peter
son that he was wilfully holding up
the charges against Hazen, and still
further displeased with the wide pub
licity given the latest Peterson letter
by the Twin City and Duluth news
papers.

z Drawing Up New Law

- Another feature of the crusade is
the decision Of City Attorney Russell
to prepare an ordinance. to be read
at the next meeting of the city coun-
Gil which will have as it's purpose the
making of more stringent rules for
the riders of bicycles.
This ordinance will make it mis-
demeanor to ride on the walks at any
hour and makes the rider who runs
into person responsible for all dam
ages and gives the city right to
confiscate the Wheel "a
The Present Ordinance.
The present bicycle ordinance in
it's complete form provides:
No person shall ride any BIZ

NAL upon the sidewalks of the
city, or coast thereon with any
sleigh, sled, bob, toboggan or
other continuance.

Governor is Now Mild.

The governors Office also insisted
that it has not intended to dictate
to the attorney general, that
the entire YVES discussed
in the conference and it was decided
that the best interests of the state,
and incidentally, the successful pro-
secution Of the Dumas case, was far
more important than the Hazen
charges And that the latter there
fore could rest.
So cooled off, in fact, have things
in general become that the attorney
general has insisted that he did not
demand the withdrawal of the letter
but had merely suggested it. Il
One paragraph in the Peterson let
ter aroused Simpson, it is said
This was the part of the letter
which referred sarcastically to the
return of the Peterson letter and on
this point the governor said:
"There is no disposition in this Of
fee to retard the investigation of the
Hazen charges" -.
