Shortly after midnight last night,

FIFTY TOWNS TO JOIN CRUSADE
Formal Request Made They Use Their
Influence in Checking Yarns
That Do Damage.

Coincident with the publication in
Chicago papers and other eastern
publications of graphic descriptions
of the forest fires raging in the
north,' is the action of the Bemidii
Commercial club, calling upon the
publishers of Twin City newspapers
and those of Duluth to exercise more
care in handling this class of news.
Here is sample of the stories be-
ing run, the following appearing in
the Chicago Record Herald:
A Sample Of the Yarns.
walker, Mimi, May 7.-Danger-
GUS forest fires are raging north of
this city on the Minnesota & Inter-
national Railroad. At Spur the St.
Paul train was forced to run through
the flames, which are being swept
northwest by strong wind. Many
settlers have lost their homes and a
large amount Of sawed lumber has
been destroyed. '> 800
"Walker, Akeley and other towns
are we'll protected, as hundreds of
men are out backfiring. Thousands
of dollars worth of property is be-
ing destroyed"
.. The resolutions authorized by the
Commercial club and mailed out by
Secretary Harry Reynolds to more
than fifty northern Minnesota Com
mercial clubs as we'll as the newspa-
per publishers, follows: ...
What the Resolutions Say.
"Whereas the Bemidji Commercial
club regrets the fact that false re-
ports have been sent out from nor
thern parts of the state and have
been published in the city papers, rel
alive to the alleged fires in this Sec
ton and
"Whereas said reports have been
printed in these papers, setting forth
in lurid language that the forests of
the north are filled with fire, lead
ing their readers to believe that
property in this country is in immi-
nent danger of destruction and that
the woods are smoking volcano;
CHOW therefore be it resolved that
efforts be made by this club to stop
the sending out of such libelous ar
ticles as were printed in the outside
city papers, as they needlessly jeo-
pard;ze business interests and keep
away settlers, and
"Be it resolved that the CONNER
cial clubs of all the other cities and
towns in this north country be asked
to cooperate.
"And be it further resolved that
the city papers be asked to take every
precaution in articles of such damag-
ing nature to northern Minnesota,
and that such articles be not publish
ed unless proof positive is furnished
them, and
"Be it resolved that copy of these
resolutions be forwarded to every
Commercial club in northern Mime
sofa and also to the city daily pa
pers."
Wheelock Promises Aid.
That some note of the crusade is
being taken by persons in St. Paul
is shown by the following extract
from a letter to A. G. Rutledge from
Ralph w. Wheelock, secretary to
Governor Eberhart:

gerated stories through the local pa
pers and will do my best to prevent

TWO CHILDREN PUT IN SCHOOL

Questioned Blames Her Hus-
band. "

After short and none too merry
experience in Bemidji, Mrs. T. A.
Campbell Of Crookston, who posed as
MAY Arnold" being accompanied by
Olga Lunde, also of Crookston and
who passed in Bemidji as miss Ar
| mold, sister of May" is under arrest
in Crookston, on the charge of kid
mapping.
Mrs. Campbell, an attractive wo-
man, of about 80, is married to a
piano tuner of Crookston more than
20 years Old Mr.. Campbell makes
frequents trips to Bemidji. -, -
Claims She Was Deserted.
''He deserted me-" Mrs. Campbell
said, when arrested here yesterday
afternoon as she stepped from boat
in which, accompanied by the Lunde
girl, she had been out on the lake
with two men,. ss..e.t !.
"We came to Bemidji to try and
get something to do and I have been
looking in vain for employment. I
came to Bemidji last Thursday and
put my two children, boy of ten
and a girl of eight years old, in the
public schools" -....- . .-. IT,
Her Assertion True.
This assertion proved to be true.
The children were placed in school
and Mrs. Campbell, after going to
Hotel Brinkman where she regis
tered back four days, in an apparent
effort to deceive anyone who might
be looking for her, started out for
work, after first having cautioned
her children to give the name of
"Arnold."
She first applied to Rev. S. E. P.
White, of the First Presbyterian
church, who took a kindly interest
in her case. The woman posed as a
professional nurse and finally was
given a position at the home of L. G..
Crothers, whose wife was in a dying
condition. She delayed going to
work, however, and applied at the
Pioneer Office in the hope, she said,
that she might obtain a position as
surgical nurse
Police Get Busy.
BY this time the police at Crook
ston had been getting busy and the
woman was traced to Bemidji, and
with the aid of Chief of Palice Har-
rington she was located and placed
under arrest, late yesterday after
noon. = -
The two children were found in
school and when asked what their
name was, replied family that they
guessed" it was Arnold but when
asked if it really wasn't Campbell
they said they had been in the habit
of going under both names. The
children are being cared for here by
Mrs. Thompson, trained nurse.
The crime of kidnapping carries
with it a penalty of ten years in the
state penitentiary.

Success So Pronounced on Fathers
Property That it Became Known
As Experiment Station.
NEW TEACHERS ARE CHOSEN
Vacancies Caused by Instructors Who
Are to Leave Ar .Filled-special
Meeting Friday.

At meeting Of the Board of Edu-
cation last night, Otto I. Bergh of
Hendrum, Mimi, and a graduate of
the Moorhead Normal school and we'll
known as an expert farmer, was cleo
ted to have charge of the agriculture
al department of the Bemidji high
school, at salary of 400 a year.
While the board admits that this
salary appears substantial, it was
guided in it's decision by the fact that
Mr.. Bergh will be required to work
twelve months in the year; that the
supply Of men competent to fill the
position, which requires technical
and practical training, is limited;
that Mr.. Bergh upon whom the sue
cess Of the farm school course so
largely depends, is particularly we'll
fitted for the place and that the
other schools of the state are paying
still higher salaries-Deer River for
Instance paying $500. Upon these
facts and because he was recommend
ed by Superintendent Dyer, the SAL
airy was fixed at the above amount.

New Teachers Named.

Several other selections of teach
ers were made at last nights meet
ing. A. D. Bailey, who has for three
years been in charge Of the manual
training department at Glencoe, was
elected to the Bemidji vacancy caused
by the resignation of Miss Patrick.
Miss Amy Berge, who is at the
present time principal of the Warren
schools, was selected to fill the posi-
ton made vacant by the resignation
of Miss Reca Grazing, as teacher of
latin and German.
The vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of Miss Ruth Whiting, who
will teach next year in Minneapolis,
will be taken by Miss Karna Ander-
son. ....- f..
Miss Edna Hill will have charge
of the newly established normal de-
partment, and her position as teach
er of the first grade will be taken by
Miss Lulu McCrum, who is now
teaching at Blackjack.

The Highest References.

Mr.. Bergh is 33 years old, is a
graduate of the Agricultural school
at Madison, and also of the advanced
course, of the Moorhead Normal
school.
He was born and raised on a farm
near Hendrum, and upon the death
Of his father several years ago, took
charge of the farm, and proved so
enterprising manager that the
farm became known in the country
surrounding Hendrum as the "eXperi-
ment farm so successful were his
crops.
The new director comes to Bemidji
with highest references. The presi-
dent of the Normal school says that
he has never had student graduate
from the school, "whom | so gladly
give favorable mention"
Owing to the absence of DR.. e. II
Smith, president of the board and
Dr.. e. H. Marcum, a member, moth
ing definite was done in regard to
selecting the 10 acre tract for the
new farm school. The members
present agreed with Superintendent
Dyer that the site should be chosen
without delay, and it was decided
that an adjourned meeting of the
board should be held on Friday eve
ming of this week.

POLO CUP CHALLENGE DEAD
Westminster Withdraws 1t, but
Another May Come.

4 rumor has just reached the members
OF the Meadow Brook international polo
team that the conditional challenge sent by
the Duke Of Westminster for the American
trophy has been withdrawn. The duke
has been severely criticised by the Eng
nsh press Tor picking his friends for the
team. instead Of men carrying higher goal
handicaps. The original idea was for the
Earl Of R0cksavaSe. two Of the three Nick
aus and the Duke of Westminster 70 start
for Egypt on or about January for pre-
llminary practice This idea now has been
abandoned.
While none OF the Polo Association Will
talk officially, it is thought by several OF
rhe members that the Hurlingham Cluh
will take up the matter and that another
challenge will be sent here and team
composed Of al least Of two Of the players
who were here last spring will be sent.
In the event OF the English Association
declining to challenge again, the chances
are that Harry Payne Whitney and the
other Meadow Brook players will go 10
England and take part In all the prominent
tournaments there The English dailies
have pointed out that if team Of the cali
bre of the one sent over here last spring
TO lift the cup failed the men chosen
by the Duke Of Westminster would not
have a ghost Of chance against the Long
Islanders.

CORNELL. RUNNERS PICKED
Harvard Expected To Be Close in

Boston, Nov. 24-Ten teams will start in
the intercollegiate 'cross-country run to be
held at the Brookline Country Club to-
morrow morning. The sudden withdrawal
OF the Michigan team has detracted great
IL from the Interest for the wolverines
were considered to have one Of the strong
est teams OF the year: Brown. Columbia,
Cornell. Dartmouth, Harvard, the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology Pennsyl-
vania, Princeton. Yale and the College Of
the City of New York are the institutions
that will be represented Each team will
five will be counted in the team score.
Cornell is looked on as the winner, for
with Tell Berna and John Paul Jones to set
the pace it is difficult TO see how the Itha-
cans can he beaten unless some OF their
second string men fall below expectations
or meet with accidents Harvard has one
OF the most evenly balanced teams that
have ever represented the Crimson, and If
the Cornell team shows any weakness II is
expected that the Harvard runners will be
so close up that the Ithacans will be beat
en- out. Paul r. Wilmington, the Harvard
captain, has never been in better condition,
and Alfred Shrubb. the English distance
runner, who has coached the Crimson, be-
lieves that Wilmington will be able 10 do
as we'll as the veteran Berna, who has won
the run once and finished second 10 Jones
another time. Jones. however Is looked on
as the winner
With Michigan out, il is expected that
Cornell and Harvard will not be hard
pressed unless Dartmouth shows uneXpect-
ed strength. The Green has not yet been
in competition this year, and little is known
of the men making UP the team. Marceau
is ono of the best long distance men In New
England. but whether the team is well
balanced is question that only the race
will answer Pennsylvania has fairly
strong team, for its defeat by Cornell was
not overwhelming. and the men have I'M
proved greatly since. Princeton by It's VIC
tories over Yale and Columbia showed that
it has strength, but the loss of Its captain
has practically put the Orange ana Black
out of the running. The Massachusetts
Institute of Technology and Brown are on
a par, for only one point separated them IN
their dual run. Both arc much weaker
than Harvard, the former by actual COM
petition and the latter by comparison.
