St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth
Publications Note Importance for
- Extra Session.
HERALD HAS EDITORIAL LEADER

Some idea of the significance OF
the Pioneers call upon the North to
demand that Governor Eherhart as
| semble the legislature in extraordi-
| nary convention to redeem his pledge
| to secure the passage of a >reappor-
| tionment bill, is shown by the fact
that nearly every one of the larger
Minnesota newspapers have displayed
prominent headlines.
The Minneapolis Journal, ST. Poul
Dispatch, other Twin City newspa-
pers and St. Cloud dailies as well
as several others have given liberal
space to the proposition, while the
Duluth Evening Herald ran the fol-
lowing IN its last evenings issue as
its leading editorial:
Under the caption "Another Reason
for an Extra Session. the Herald
says:
THE Bemidji Pioneer demands that
Governor Eberhart redeem his prob
Use, made last December to the North
ern Minnesota Development Associa-
ton at Brainerd, that if the legis-
ture failed to provide reapportion-
ment he would call an extra session.
Governor Eberhart DID make that
promise. Governor Eberhart should
redeem it. He made it voluntarily,
without any request from Northern
Minnesota He should redeem it vol
unfairly, without any request from
Northern Minnesota. @-...-.. 1
zone of the ablest lawyers in Min
nesota has stated that under the Con-
stitution there can be no reapportion-
ment until 1917 unless it is made by
the present legislature, which is the
one following the census of 1910.
| There will not be another census I'M
til 1915, and the next legislature af-
| ter that will be the legislature of
1917. - -
Does Northern Minnesota propose
| to wait that long for Justice which
should have been granted it long
ago? L, ~
| The Herald has been urging, and
still urges, an extra session to Crap
| pie with the railroad problem. Rail-
road property in Minnesota is gross
| ly under-taxed, while railroad rates
are higher in Minnesota than in any
! nearby state. The rate question is
| before the courts; but the taxation
question is up to the governor and the
legislature. There should be an ex-
ira session to propose an increase in
railroad taxes so that the people may
vote on it at the election of 1912;
for if there is not the people cannot
approve the increase until 1914, and
| it will be delayed two years, caus-
ing loss of millions of dollars in
taxes.
:.TheI Herald welcomes the coop
Grafton of the Bemidji Pioneer. It
has made good start in good fight.
| More power to it.
There are reasons enough and to
spare for an extra session of the leg
islature- Governor Eberhart should
call it. and it should be held next
January.

five spot any time you may care to

states prison at Saltwater, as a re-
suit of having shot and killed two of
his fellow workers in the Crookston
lumber camp near Kelliher, on the
night of September 80.
At S:15 this afternoon Judge Stan

hands of the jury.
In his charge to the jury Judge
Stanton said that four verdicts would
be possible: murder in the first de-
gree, second degree, manslaughter in
1.-THE first degree, or not guilty.
Closing Pleas Made.
When court opened at 1870 this af-
ternoon, County Attorney Torrance
summed up for the state. He did not
talk more than 20 minutes, and cons
tended that the proof was conclusive
that the defendant had deliberately
and maliciously committed a cold
blooded murder.
John L. Brown, appointed by the
court to defend the prisoner. made
strenuous plea to secure the free
dom of his client. He contended that
the evidence had shown that it was
free-for-all fight and that Stanley's
opponents had started it and that
they had him down and were choking
him to death when Stanley pulled his
gun and began shooting in self de-
fense
Only Two Witnesses for Defense.
The state rested its case yesterday
afternoon, and the defense had but
two witnesses, R. w. Hardy, justice
of the peace, and editor of the Kel-
liner Journal, and the defendant him
SELF
Hardy told of having seen marks of
violence on the defendant the morn
ing following the midnight fight, and
that there were indications that
there had been battle royal.
Defendant Goes on Stand.
The defendant went on the stand
and by means of an Interpreter, gave
his side of the story, which was to the
effect that he had been pounced up
on in the road, a short distance out
of Kel1iher, and that he shot in helf
defense. He explained that he had
a revolver because he was going
through the woods and thought he
might need it to shoot wild animals.
Says He Was Hit First.
1--WE had started for the camp and
had gotten quite ways out of Kelli-
her at about II o'clock at night"
said the defendant, "and me and
Jack Kleanas had waited for the 9th
er fellows to catch up, and when they
did Jack knocked my hat off and hit
me on the head. Then Joe he catch
me by the throat, then they knock me
down and both hit me, and they tried
to take the revolver away from me.
