FOR REINFORCEMENT
N. Y. Legislature Re-assembled Today
to Discuss Two Important
Subjects. @ ~
CHARTER FOR N. Y. CITY ALSO

Albany, N Y, Sept. 6.-The New
York legislature re-assembIed today
to consider the subjects of congress
sional reapportionment and the pro-
posed new charter for New York City.
The subject of the charter is the one
in which most interest is manifested
Whether the Tammany influence can
muster enough votes among the indie
pendent Democrats to put the meas
ure through is a matter of much
speculation. The Republican mem
bers of the assembly are believed to
be solidly opposed to it.
The legislature will take the &C
ton necessary for the reapportion-
ment of the State into 43 congress
sional districts. There are now 81
districts, represented by Is Republi-
cans and % Democrats. The ratio of
population under the present appor-
tionment averaged 1876, 402. That
under the new apportionment will be
211, 944.

|B SECURE LICENSES
This Years Hunting Season Opens
Tomorrow Morning at Day
Break.
EIGHT GO OUTSIDE OF CITY

Up to three o'clock today forty
eight hunting licenses were issued by
County Auditor James L. George.
This being the day before the hunting
kept unusually busy.
Mr.. George says. that he is of the
opinion that the number thus far is
sued is less than was issued at the
same time last year. No women have
thus far secured license for hunt
ing. Beltrami County generally has
a few women who go out shooting
during the hunting season and it is
likely that some licenses will be is
fore the day is over. .....

people from Bemidji. Some however,

Duluth. Her back is believed to have
been broken, and she is internally in

Fred Fortune, passenger from De-
troit, was internally injured in the
body. Fortune and Mrs. Garvey were
brought here and both will probably
die. Two others desperately hurt
were taken to Waupaca. They were
woman and her daughter, both so
badly injured they could not tell their
names. The train, made up of steel
coaches and sleepers, is wreck. The
engine with the wrecked baggage and

OLD HULL SINKS INTO LAKE
Boat Owned by Peter Miller Fills
With Water and Goes Down.

The hull of the old passenger boat
which has been anchored on the lake
behind the library this past summer
has sunk, nothing but the flag staff
and the windmill remaining in view.
The boat was built by Peter Mil
Ter about six or seven years ago and
was intended for passenger boat
butzwas never completed.
It was used on Turtle Lake for
some time and then brought to Be
midi. Some time ago Mr. Miller in
stalled an apparatus in it by which
a windmill was made to keep the boat
empty of water. When the wind
blew this windmill revolved and the
water was pumped from the boat.
Apparently this ceased to work and
last week the boat went down.

POTATO GROWERS MEET
Meeting Of Produce Cooperative As
ISOLATION Held at Blackduck last
Evening.
TO SHIP TO BEMIDU WAREHOUSE

| At meeting Of the Produce Co
Operative association held in the city
of Blackjack last evening nearly all
the farmers in the vicinity of that
city were interested in the work be-
gun by the association.
The meeting was called by presi-
| dent F. M. Pendergast and was well
attended by the farmers near Black
duck, Tenstrike and the surrounding
villages and towns.
The meeting was called for the
purpose of securing as many of the
farmers in this community to ship
their produce to the Bemidji ware
house, which is being maintained by
this association, as is possible. All
seemed to be interested and expressed
willingness to trade with the coun-
TVS metropolis in preference to the
outside markets.
1t was clearly demonstrated that
Bemidji could handle these produce
at less expense than outsiders. The
fact that the local company has Sc
cured through car rates on all the
railroads for all points south and
west and east, gives assurance that
the organization will be successful
one.
Among those attending the meet
ing from other towns and cities were
President F. M. Pendergast, Secretary
Otto 1. Bergh of Bemidji and S. 3.
IS At the last meeting of the associa-
ton the following were elected as
additional members of the board of
directors. A. G. Wedge, Jr., ]. J. OPP

Jimmy Casey, leader of the Fort

throwing sand in the air, but that
wouldn't work. Then he tried to make
the umpire believe the winning artist
was overstepping the slab on every
delivery. This scheme also failed,
and then Casey tried the old scheme
of initiating a crazy man. He threw
several fits, but the spitball monarch
continued sizzling them over, and
then as a last resort Casey sent out

Booths of the Various Counties Not
| Yet Awarded Says Mr..
| Richie.

Carl Opsata today was awarded in
the apiary department of the state
fair three first prizes and one second
prize on his exhibits of honey.
First honor does not come entirely
as a surprise to the citizens of Be-
midi and this county, but to secure
three first prizes at state fair that
is considered the best of any held in
any state Of the union are honors that
every resident in this county and
Northern Minnesota can feel proud
Of.
Secretary of the Beltrami County
fair, A. P Richie who is in charge Of
the Beltrami County booth at the
state fair, sent a telegram to the
Pioneer stating Opsata's awards and
also that the booth judges have not
as yet awarded prizes in this depart
ment.
Mr. Opsata was the first to develop
new field of industry in this section
of the state. While we'll aware of
the fertilities of soil and its possibili-
ties, he preferred the raising of bees
and has met with decided success.
Mr.. opsata is, perhaps, the most ex-
tensiye honey. producer In North
Central Minnesota, shipping yearly
from 5000 to 10, 600 pounds of honey
to the various markets. He has made
a technical study of this branch of
farm life.

blessed with the proper soil and wide
awake and up to date lot of farmers.

My Dear Mr.. Sukey:
at has pleased me very much to
learn from Mr.. MendelsOhn that you
are taking steps toward having the
State of Minnesota represented at the
International Barley and Hop Prize
Exhibit, by joint Educational and
Prize Barley Exhibit, and that you
will personally, together with Mr..
Welch and Mr.. Neubert, conduct a
campaign for the purpose Of making
this exhibit as high grade as possible
and the specimens representative OF
the best that can be produced in your
State. We have no doubt that your
efforts will prove, in every detail, sue
cessful, and that your exhibit will
merit the highest communication.
I'VE wish to draw your attention to
few of the Rules and Regulations
under which the prize specimens must
be entered and naturally those speci-
mems that are entered for contest
from your state must conform to
these rules. For this purpose we
send you, enclosed. the Rules and
Regulations and the abridged YER
sion of the same. You will find that
the barley in the grain must be &C
companied by a sheaf of barley in the
straw, that the barley in the grain
must be a quantity of at least 60 lbs.
and taken from a bulk of 1000 lbs.
and that they shall represent fair
average product of one field and shall
not be hand picked or tempered with
in any way. We hope that you will
be able to secure from the State OF
Minnesota from thirty to forty speci-
mems.
LAS to your Educational Exhibit
Won are allowed all latitude and you
can give full scope to your own good
Judgment and fancy in this respect.
LAS to your request to have the
exhibit returned intact we shall, OF
course, gladly comply and under
stand from Mr. Mendelsohn that you
expect to have a custodian and dem
onstrator on the ground. This plan
of yours is excellent and meets with
our entire approval. While formally
the regulations provide that the spec
linens shall remain the property of
the Exposition Company, there will
be no difficulty in this respect and
take the responsibility herewith of
waving the claim.
MAY we have few lines from you
indicating how many specimens you
expect to send us, SO as to be able

NlAHOLDSPRIMARIES
At Tomorrow's Election Two United
States Senators Are to Be
Elected.
DOUBLE BARREL" FIGHT IS ON

Richmond, Va, Sept. ga Demo-
cratic primary election is to be held
rh1 Oh ghout Virginia tomorrow for the
nomination of two United States SEN
ators, members of the legislature and
county officials. The campaign has
been one of the quietest that the Old
Dominion has seen in years. Even
the senatorial contests have failed to
arouse the usual amount of interest
and enthusiasm, although the interest
has increased to noticeable extent
during the closing days of the cam
paign.
Senator Claude A. Swanson, who
was appointed to fill out the term of
the late Senator Daniel, which ended
with the close of the last session, is
candidate for election to the full
six-year term. Senator Thomas S.
Martin, whose term will not expire
until 1913, but whose successor will
be chosen by the legislature to be
elected this fall, is candidate for re-
election. Senator Swanson is opposed
FIR the nomination by Representative
Carter Glass of the Sixth district
Senator Martins opponent is Repre-
sentative Jones of the First district.
The general opinion seems to be that
both Swanson and Martin will win
out in the primaries.

Labor Men To Act
Trades Council in New Haven Will Take up McNamara
 Case Tonight

New Haven, Dec. 7-Much interest has been felt by union men in this city, as we'll as by great many who are not members of labor Organ1za- tions as to the attitude which will be taken by the leading labor organiza- tion of the city, the Trades Council, in regard to the McNamara comics sions. Central labor bodies through out the country have been putting themselves on record in regard to the matter, and it is stated that the mat ter will be brought before the meeting of the Trades Council of this city this evening when the first meeting since the confessions. will take place. What action will be atken or what form the resolutions which will in all probabil- ity be adopted will take cannot be forecasted.
 Organizations throughout the State have been strongly in condemnation of the McNamaras' action as confess ed by themselves, the Hartford or ganization demanding punishment commensurate with the crime, in res- Olutions which were passed prior to the passing Of sentence on the ac- cused.
 The Meriden Central Labor Union has sent a letter to President Com pers of the American Federation of Labor, requesting that he and the exe- cutive board of that organization ren- der every aid to the, authorities in bringing to justice "the instigators and atettors of the dynamiting outrages whether members of organized labor or not"
