Agree Not to Talk.

knowledge of Postofice Safe
Cracking Job.

Co-incident with the arrival in Be-
midi from ST. Paul this morning of
Sam F. Fullerton, deputy state fire
marshal, and j. c. Fielding, assist
ant northwestern superintendent for
the Pinkerton Detective Agency was
the dismissal of the arson charge
against William Munhall, the Be-
midi bartender who was arrested
as being an accessory before the fact
with DR.. Dumas of Cass Lake in the
Puposky safe blowing and arson case.
Munhall was brought before Court
Commissioner SimOns, being repre-
scented by his attorney, Charles w
Scrutchin of Bemidji.
Thayer Bailey Moves Dismissal
Thayer c. Bailey of Bemidji, who
has been appointed to represent the
attorney generals Office in the Dumas
case and other matters connected
with the case, moved that Munhall
be released and the case against him
be dismissed, on the ground that the
state at this time was unable to pro-
duce evidence sufficient to warrant
the holding of the prisoner
The charge against Munhall was
that he was an accessory before the
fact of the attempted arson affair at
Puposky. Munhan, who was a wit
ness at the preliminary hearing Of
DR.. Dumas, admitted that he had
telephone talks with DR.. Dumas,
prior to the fight at Puposky between
officers and Mike Davis and Martin
Behan and that he had agreed to get
Davis and Behan to come to Bemidji
to meet the doctor before the Pu-
posky affair. Munhall was sub
poenaed at the close of the hearing
to appear before the grand jury of
Beltrami county, at the term of dis
trict court beginning September
twelfth and then to testify in the
case Of the State VS.. Delbert Dumas,
the mayor of Cass Lake.
Fullerton and Fielding Silent.
Asked if there was anything new
in the Dumas case, both Mr. Fuller
ton and Mr.. Fielding said that they
had nothing whatever to say as to
the progress Of the case against Dr.
Dumas; and they would say nothing
in reference to possible further ar
rests of people alleged to be impli-
Gated in the arson cases regarding
which many statements have been
published. Replying to a direct ques-
ton as to whether they knew the
present whereabouts Of Mike Davis,
the much-wanted yegg, Mr.. Fielding
would not make a reply. I'VE have
agreed, prior to coming to Bemidji,
to do no talking whatever, relative
to the Dumas case or anything con-
nected with the case" say Mr.. Full

1ue arrival Oh ClelT MaJeSCleS IN
Dublin was made the occasion for a
general holiday. Flags and bunting
and notices worded in terms of 10y
atty were displayed in all quarters of
the city, but especially profuse and
magnificent were the decorations dis
played along the route of the process
sion to the Viceregal Lodge in Phoen-
tx Park. The royal party were well
coined with cheers.
The King and Queen, accompanied
by their suites, arrived at Kingstown
this morning on board the royal
yacht Victoria and Albert. From the
yacht they were rowed in the royal
barge to Victoria Wharf, where they
were received by the Lord Lieutenant
of Ireland, the Earl of Aberdeen, and
a number of officials. =

Immediately after the first cere-
monies of welcome were concluded
their Majesties, accompanied by the
Lord Lieutenant and brilliant staff,
drove off toward Dublin, amid the
greatest enthusiasm on the part of
the crowds lining the. -noAd between
Kingsbown and Bulls Bridge.

casion for further ceremonies of well
come, following which the King and
Queen took luncheon with the Lord
Lieutenant and Countess of Aber-
deem.
At 8 O'Clock the King officiated at
the opening ceremony of the Royal
College of Science. From the Royal

proceeded to Trinity College, where
an address was read, to which the
King made reply. Later the royal
party visited the Phoenix Park race
course, and the days programme was
concluded with a dinner party at
Dublin Castle
City Itself Was Chilly.
The days proceedings we're not
marred by any unpleasant incident,
with the possible exception of the
fact that the municipal government
of Dublin did not enter as enthusiast
tically into the welcome of the royal
visitors as might have been desired.
On the other hand, the populace, re-
inforced by thousands of visitors
from many parts of the island, were
cordial in their welcome The grand
stands erected in various places were
crowded with cheering spectators,
while the sidewalks were packed by
multitude of people.
Tomorrow morning their Majesties
will attend service in St. Patrick's

INVITES ITALIAN AMBASSADOR
TO A CONFERENCE ON THE
POLITICAL SITUATION.
The War King Now Evidently Occu-
pies the Posit on Of Peacemaker
Between the Warning Turks
and Italians.

Berlin.-The emperor, at his hunt
ing lodge near Eberswald, Prussia, on
Sunday invited Signor Alberto Pansa
Italian ambassador, to conference
on the political situation. The Ger
man imperial chancellor also attend
ed. The Italian ambassador had ar.
ranged to meet the German foreign
minister, Herr Won Kiderlen-Waeeh-
ter, at the foreign office, to discuss
matters connected with the Turco-
Italian war, but hastily cancelled this
engagement upon receiving the en-
perors message.
The German emperor holds him
self responsible In great degree for
the present armistice between Italy
and Turky, and evidently hopes to
successfully play the part Of peace
maker between the warning nations
1t is understood the transportation
of the Italian military expedition will
not be interfered with, but that hos
tilities in all quarters will cease. Thi'
Is considered in Berlin as equivalen
to the ending of the war, or at leas
the warlike movements, which will
now be succeeded by negotiation
looking to a settlement.
