DIVISION OF STATE
BEING DISCUSSED

St. Paul, Feb. 4.-(Daily Pioneer
Special Wire Service. 1.-The division
of the state of Minnesota along the
line just south of Brainard is being
discussed by men from the northern
part of the state, as the result of the
apparent opposition to reapportion-
ment of the senate.
IF we do not get an unselfsh re-
apportionment law, one based on the
last census, a law providing for the
taxation of state lands or schools.
road and bridge purposes and other
legislation we demand, the Northern
Minnesota Development Association
will at once take steps to divide the

Mr.. McPartlin, with about fifty
members of the Northern Minnesota
Development Association, has been
lobbying for the measure desired by
Northern Minnesota during the past
three weeks. Many of them have been

imperative that the county commits

"This matter of state division is
not a STEP made to coerce anyone, it
is simply an understanding Northern
Minnesota has reached as the only
recourse it has in the event of the
continued hostile attitude of the
southern part of the state" added
Mr.. McPartlin.

HELD TO GRAND JURY
Judge Simons Holds that Rachui May
Be Guilty Of Crime.

Gust Rachui, was arraigned before
Court Commissioner, this morning to
answer to charge of carnal knowl-
edge with girl under the age of
consent.
After listening to the testimony
Judge Simons held that in his opin-
ion the defendant should be held to
the grand jury and set his bond at
$1,000, which at this time Rachui
has been unable to secure
1t is very probable that should
Rachui secure the amount of the
bond, that he would be again ar
rested on another charge.

Announcement.

Believing it to be the desire of the
majority of the banking public, and
believing also that it is for the mu-
tual interests of the merchants and
business men and the Banks, that
they remain closed except during the
regular banking hours; the Northern
National Bank and the Security State
Bank wish to announce that they
will not open for business Saturday
evenings, unless it seems desirable
to their customers whose, interests
they are always anxious to serve.

Fire Department Called Out.

At about 1880 this morning fire
alarm was sent into the fire depart
ment headquarters to the effect that
the house owned by Mrs. Jessie E.
Clark, on Mississippi avenue was on
fire. At arriving at the scene of the
supposed fire the fremen found that
the fire was out, and that there had
been only small blaze, caused from
an overheated stove pipe. It should
be remembered that to cause the fire
department a run costs the city of
Bemidji from $50 to $40. The fire
this morning is the third one during
the past month to which the depart
ment has been unnecessarily called.

Feels Services Have Not Been Fully
Appreciated and Now Proposes
to Attend to Private Business.
DECLARES DECISION ABSOLUTE
Also Calls Attention to Fact That Re-
ports Of Fair Association Are on
File with Register Of Deeds.
(By Z. 4. WdlSon)
lidji Pioneer Ia1islafivI

(8y Z. 4. WILSON,
8smidji Pioneer Legislative Bureau
st. Paul, Feb. 4.-W. R. Mackenzie
positively refuses to continue as Sec
rotary of the Beltrami County Fair
Association.
Mr.. Mackenzie feels that his past
labors have not always been appreci-
ated as much as they should have
been, but despite this fact, he might
be persuaded to continue as secre-
tary OF the county fair, were it not
for the fact that at the present time
he is daily at the Capitol, working
hard in the preparation of a reappor-
tionment bill, and his labor in con-
nection with this vastly important
measure to Northern Minnesota will
keep him busy until late in the
spring.
The public suggestion of Former
Representative J. J. Opsahl, that an
assistant be given Mr.. Mackenzie,
does not meet with the approval of
the retiring secretary.
Mr.. Mackenzie dictated the follow
ing statement:
my decision to resign as Secre-
tary of the Beltrami County Agricul-
tural Association is irrevocable.
when return to Bsmidji shall
attend strictly to my business, which
I have neglected for matters of public
concern.
I'm reply to the Bemidji Sentinel's
request that publish a statement of
my stewardship covering the County
Fairs of 1908, 1909 and 1910, the
Law of Minnesota exacts a sworn
statement of the receipts and ex-
penditures of all County Fairs and
anyone interested in the Beltrami
County Fair for these years can find
these annual reports on record in
the Office of J. o. Harris, Register of
Deeds, Beltrami County, signed by
and sworn to by the President,
Treasurer and Secretary of the
Association.
"The aid given my work in these
years by many of the business inter-
ests in Bemidji is deeply appreciated
by me, but the support given to the
Northern Minnesota Development
Association, considering the good
words which this organization has
brought to Bemidji and Beltrami
County, is very disappointing.
"There hasn't been a day of the
past thirty days and possibly won't
be in the next ninety days when my
time won't be in part occupied by
Beltrami County matters, and still
cheerfully give my time on this, but
my time after returning home will be
for my own business
This leaves the question of
secretary of the fair association up
to the association, itself, as there is
no possibility of Mr.. Mackenzie re-
considering his determination to re-
linquish the work which he has
carried on with such pronounced
success.

Boys from Cass County are Out
played in all Departments of
Game-Score 40 to O..
BA1LY AND LARSON STAR.
Wearers of the, Blue and White Have
Improved Wonderfully Since
Bagley Contest.

BY defeating the Walker basket
ball quint last evening the Bemid-
il five place themselves again in the
running for the championship of
northern Minnesota, as Walker has
met and defeated two of the best
fives in the part of the state, in Axe
ley and Deer River. H.:
The game was played in the Arm
DRY and resulted in a 40 to 2 victory
for the Bemidji team. Although the
score seems to be very one-sided, the
contest was in reality one of the best
games played in Bemidji for some
time, being entirely void of rough
ness, and being fast at all times.
The Walker boys who are fast were
inclined to be rather lost in playing
on the big Armory floor, they at
times when gaining possession of the
ball took it half the length of the
field, only to lose it to a Bemidji
guard before a throw for a basket
could be made.
The team work of the Bemidji team
showed marked improvement over
that displayed in the Bag1ey contest
of a week ago. .. @.
Captain Larson, captain and center
Of the Bemidji quint and rabbit
Baily, the Bemidji forward, were cas-.
lily the stars of the contest, each Sc
curing nine field baskets, and follow
ing the ball all during the game.
Both of Walkers points were from
fouls.
Walker was represented by splen.
did looking five of athletes, but they
lacked team work, and claimed that
the slippery floor had a lot to dc
with their poor showing.
Although the Bemidji boys played
hard at all times during the contest
they were at no time pushed and die
not play the game of which they
seem capable.
The lineup of the teams last night
was as follows: Bemidji-Captair
Larson Center; Baily and Moritz
forwards and Spencer and Peck
guards. Walker: B. Oliver, center
E. E. Oliver and Bright, guards an6
Parks and Johnson, forwards.

Public drinking cups are to be
abolished if bill in the senate by
Senator Marden becomes a law, as
it probably will. The measure pro-
hibits the use of public cups in
schools, hotels, restaurants, stores,
shops, factories, Office buildings or
on railroad trains. Teachers, own
ers, and officials who permit a vio-
lation are made guilty of INSIDE
meanor.

The senate, in a committee of the
whole, yesterday acted favorably on
the D. P. O'Neil bill, which passed
the house last week, which has for
it's purpose precautionary measures
against forest fires by compelling
master mechanics in round houses to
inspect spark arresters before loco
motive leaves the round house.
This means that the bill will become
a law, although the final vote in the
senate will not be taken until it is
reached on the calendar.

The senate is slowly but surely
crawling out of it's shell. For the
first time during the present session
it is to meet on Monday, but not I'M

of the sturdy senators even got the
bug to work on Saturday but this
was too much for the majority.

DOG That GOES TO CHURCH
Maine Animal Attends Sunday Serv-
Ices Regularly, Sitting In the
Shadow of the Pulpit.

And here is q dog story which
comes from the Journals Skowhegan
correspondent. The story is of fine
young shepherd dog which has strong
religious tendencies. He is the dog
of Elmer Decker Of Hinckley. Shep
is persistent In his attempts to attend
Sunday services.
A late scheme Of his is to get up
very early Sunday morning and call
upon a neighbor who takes him to
church in his carriage. On arriving
Shep makes practice Of walking
straight up the aisle to the platform,
where he takes his place in the
shadow Of the pulpit There, with
his nose protruding by the corner, ne
can see what is going on at the same
time he is listening.
The other day during the minister's
long prayer an automobile came chug-
ging and footing along. much TO the
disturbance Of Shops idea of the
nicely Of things. He rushed through
the open door with loud barking and
scared the intruder away, but his
manner of quieting the disturbance
had a reviving effect upon the audi
ence and our correspondent thinks
the prayer must have been shortened.

Is For Peace.

w. j. Bryan who has probably done
more for universal peace than any one
man has given out the following on
the war question:
L am not sufficiently acquainted
with the Italian Turkish controversy
to discuss it on its merits, but I be-
lieve that our nation, being one of
the foremost advocates of universal
peace, and having no territorial inter-
est to bias it, is in position to tender
its good Offices to effect a reconcilia-
ton between the two countries.
Our obligation to do so is increased
by the fact that we have large
italian element in our population.
The moral prestige Of the United
States has value at such a time as
this and it should be employed to adj
vance the cause of arbitration.
The fact that war was declared so
suddenly emphasizes the Importance
of that provision in the proposed
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain and France looking to
the investigation before war.
There is no question so important
as to require the beginning of hostil-
tiles without the reasons being given
to the world. The nations are so knit
together by commercial ties that q
war between two of them, to greater
or less degree, affects all and all have
right to expect that the beliger-
ents will make known the reasons for
war before they commence shooting
at each other.
And the chances are very much
against shooting if there is time for
deliberate action.
There would not be any personal en-
counters if the parties toit submitted
their differences to an imperial COM
mittee empowered to investigate and
report upon the merits of the case.
If Italy and Turkey had been under
treaty obligations to submit their diff
ferences to an impartial international
agreement there is little doubt that
some peaceful means would have been
found of adjusting those differences.
The plan set forth in the treaties
now before the senate has been en-
dorsed in substance by the peace con-
gress which met at London in 1906.
1t was Endorsed later by a peace con-
gress at New York and at a peace
meeting in Edinburgh.
The Incorporation of the principles
in the treaties negotiated by Secretary
Knox marks q new era in the progress
of civilization. If these treaties are
ratified they will become the model
4fOr others.
In fact, Germany and Japan have
already indicated willingness to con-
slider entering into similar treaties
with the United States.
When the leading nations are bound
together by such treaties the small
nations will follow the example and
war will become a remote possibility.

Operation OF Teachers Pension
Law Explained.

Madison, Wis, Sept. 27.-The teach
ers' retirement fund and pension law,
which has been in effect in this state
since Sept. l, is the subject of a flood
of inquiries from school boards all
over the state by whom its various
provisions are not we'll understood.
These inquiries have been answered
in circular letter explaining the law.
The essential features of the law were
outlined today by James B. Borden,
assistant state superintendent of pub
lie instruction, in the following state
ment:
Chapter 323, laws Of 1911, other
wise known as the teachers pension
law, recognize two classes of persons,
no matter how little or how much ex-
perience in teaching they may have
had.
1.-THE law is permissiye in respect
to all persons in class l, and manda-
tory upon all persons in class ,. School
boards must not withhold any portion
of the salary of persons in class l I'M
less notified in writing before Sept. l,
1912, that such teachers wish to come
under the provisions of this law. I'm
less persons in this class notify the
board in writing before that date,
they need not contribute and cannot
at any time hereafter become bene-
ticiarieS under the act.
''School boards must withhold GER
tain percentage of the monthly salary
of all persons in class who teach
after Sept. l, 1911. The law is man.
datory upon all persons in class ,,
whether or not they desire to take
advantage of the law.
"All persons coming under the pro-
visions of the act and who have taught
ten years or less, must contribute one
per cent. of their monthly salary, pro-
yided that no one person shall con-
tribute more than SIS in any one year.
All persons coming under the proyi-
Sions of this act who have taught
more than ten years and less than
twenty-Six years must contribute two
per cent. of their monthly salary, pro-
Vided that no one person shall con-
tribute more than $50 in any one
year.
School boards are directed to with
hold monthly the percentage fixed and
TO give the teachers 4 statement of the
amount so withheld at the time the
monthly salary is paid.
This law does not apply to the city
of Milwaukee, but affects teachers in
all other public schools in the state.
including rural grades and high
schools.
"In computing the length of time a
person has taught, not more than sew
EN- years may be counted for work
done in other than the public schools
and in schools in the city of Milwau-
kee, or in other states.
''After a person has made twenty
five annual contributions to the fund
his payments shall cease even though

VIM. E. CURTIS died suddenly a few
days ago in Philadelphia. He was
one of the best known correspondents
in the world and his writings have
delighted millions of readers. He
had q corps of assistants and supplied
letter to his newspaper every day in
the year. He had travelled more per-
hapS than any other newspaper writer
in the world. 1t was a puzzle to some
how he could supply letter each day
while crossing the ocean. The plan
was simple Mr.. Curtis in his spare
time wrote enough manuscript to fill
the room you are now sitting in.
This was the property of his employ
ers in just so far as they required q
letter each day, and no more. Long
after his death unpublished stories ne
wrote years ago, viii continue to
appear over his name. He COM
manded a salary of $4,000 year and
was one of the highest priced men in
the business. He had a peculiar
knack of writing very interesting
story in a way which could be easily
read and understood by anyone.

he remains longer in the service as a
public school teacher.
School district treasurers shall re-
tain the amount so withheld from the
several teachers until the close of the
school year, whereupcn it shall be for
warded to the town or city treasurer,
and by that official forwarded to the
several county treasurers, by whom
the fund SO collected shall be remitted
to the state treasurer"
