GROW FINE CORN
THEODORE 5EAULIEu OF WHITE
EARTH, MIMI, DISPLAYS
FINE SAMPLES.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Feb. 23.-Loaded
down with the corn grown in the
northern part Of Becker county and
enthusiastic in his expressions for the
future Of northern Minnesota as corn
country, Theodore Beaulieu of White
Earth reached Minneapolis today. Mr..
Beaulieu's room at the Majestic hotel
is literally decorated with corn, which
he says equals in quality anything pro-
duced in Iowa or Illinois In his ex-
hibit he has apples of red dent, white
and yellow flint and sweet corn. Mr..
Beaulieu said:
"Corn raising is a recent innovation
in northern Minnesota. 1t has been
only within the last few years that the
farmers experimental along this line.
For years it was thought Ola summer
season was too short for corn to ma
ture. That this idea was a fallacy our
crop last summer shows. In the north
ern part of Becker there are thirty
four townships stretching across the
whole country. The land has been
found to be excellent for corn; last
summer a great amount of it was
planted. In the southern part of the
county even better results have been
attained, both in quality and yield.
"There are few things we can't raise
in that country. An excellent variety
of apples has been cultivated and the
production has assumed large proper
lions. we are just beginning to find
out the possibilities of Becker county.
We can raise almost anything there,
and this spring further experiments
will be made.

tally the desire of Lorimers friends
to get a vote on the question OF the
validity of his election, there was lit
tie prospect at the beginning of today
session of the senate that any marked
progress would be made during the
sitting.
Senator Burrows, who controls the
case In the interest of the committee on
privileges and elections, and who Ii a.
staunch supporter of Senator Lorimer,
stands ready to vote at any time the
senate will permit such action, and 4
was his announced intention this
morning to ask the senate during the
day to fix the time to vote.
This Is interpreted by senators to
mean he Is not so hopeful Of a vote
at nearly date as he was on Tues
day. The cause OF the changed condi-
taions is manifold, but in the main IL
is due to the desire on the part Of
Lorimer's opponents to counterfeit the
impression made by Mr.. Lorimers
speech yesterday in his own behalf
and also the determination to stand
Oft the reciprocity bill.
In his defense yesterday. Lorimer
made human interest" appeal. Ha
spoke for four hours and made a deep
impression on an audience whioh
packed the senate chamber.

TO DETERMINE
RACE OF CHILD.

Baltimore, Nd, Feb. 2s.-In an
endeavor to determine scientific
cally the race of a child, staff
physicians at Johns Hopkins hos
pital yesterday made an examina-
ton of Luella Leftridge, an IL
year-old girl who is trying to
obtain her freedom from a negro
institution where she has re-
NAMED for nearly seven years.
The examination was made to-
determine for the satisfaction of
the court in which writ of hab-
cas- corpus has been sworn out
whether the girl is white or ne
gro.
Physical characteristics which 1t
is claimed indicate the presence
of negro blood played a big part
in the examination, but it was
stated that all the accepted tests
save one had failed. That one Is
the presence OF a black line across
one of the girls finger nails just
around the arc, known as the
"halfmoon." The presence of the
black line, according to the doc
tors, is not conclusive but only
raises a suspicion as to the an
cestry of the child, who will be ex-
amined by other physicians.
