Bemidji Aid Wired for By Local Com.
pany Puts Out Fire.

Walker, MIMI, July 1.-THE
Walker box factory was entirely con-
sumed by fire early yesterday entail
ing loss Of $4,000, covered by in
surance to the amount of about ST.
900. Ed I. B. Staede of Minneapolis
is president of the corporation, and
John Meagher and B. F. Nelson, also
of teh Twin City, are the principal
stockholders.
The factory is located in the heart
of the milling district, and the Be-
midi department was wired for aid.
However, the local department got
the fire under control before the Be-
midi firemen arrived, and with the
exception of one small pile, every
thing belonging to the Leech Lake
Lumber company was saved.
The origin of the fire is not known
The factory was shut down at the
time and there had been no fire in its
boilers for several weeks. More than
two car loads of finished boxes, as
we'll as all the machinery. were con-
sumed in the fire. The fire throws
fifty men out of employment.

CALL LAKE ROAD MEETING
Commercial Club Asks All Persons
Interested to Be Present at s
O'clock Tonight.
MUCH NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

All persons interested in the pro-
posed road around Lake Bemidji are
requested to meet with the directors
of the Commercial club at o'clock
tonight in the Commercial club
rooms on Third street.
This public meeting was decided
upon at a meeting of the Commercial
club directors yesterday afternoon
when plans for going ahead with the
lake boulevard were discussed. 1t
was decided that the next step in the
movement would be to ascertain
just what those interested in the pro-
posed highway would do to aid.
The committee felt that state aid
to the extent of one half the total
cost might be obtained.
The road to Itasca state park also
was taken up for discussion by the
committee. Reports went to show
that the townships between here and
the park have spent about 1000 in
cash and $4,000 more in labor. The
commercial club and the Automobile
clubs have appropriated $500 to aid
in this work.

DENIES WHITTIER CASE RUMOR
Governor Tells Board of Control No
Danger of Removal.

Minneapolis, July 11.-Governor
Eberhart today assured the members
of the state board of control that their
positions would not be jeopardized
by their verdict in the F. A. Whit
tier investigation, now in progress.
The governor is supposed to have
issued this assurance to confute state
ments made that the Investigation is
but part of scheme to eventually
GUST P. M. Ringhahl and Charles
Vasley, democratic members of the
state board of control, and replace
them with A. D. Stephens of Crook
ston, and another republican.
'ssThe investigation will not change
the status of the board" said the gov
ernor today.
The Whittier trial will be resumed
Thursday.

MEET TO NOMINATE GOVERNOR
Kentucky Republicans Likely to Name
Judge E. G. O'Rear.

Louisville, Ky July 1.-THE Re-
publican state convention assembled
in this city today and was called to
order shortly before 1 o'clock this
afternoon. The convention will
nominate candidates for governor and
for all other state officers to be voted
for at the election next November
The official call omits all mention of
instructions for United States senator
and the general understanding is
that none will be given. Several con-
tests are in sight and it is thought
probable that the convention may not
complete it's work before Wednesday.
Judge E. C. O'Rear of the Court of
Appeals will probably be selected
to head the ticket. He stands we'll
with the farmers and is popular with
temperance people because of his
advocacy of the county unit propo-
sition. He is not a prohibitionist,
but favors strict regulation of the
liquor traffic.

WOMAN DIDN'T SELL BEER
Gertrude Thomas, Accused By E. N.
Young and A. j. Carno, Found
r.
Not Guilty of Liquor Deal.
JURY DEL1BERATEs FOUR HOURS

Gertrude Thomas, accused of hay
ing sold beer at her lone Oak and
Mississippi avenue, was found not
guilty by a jury of six men in NUM-
cipal court here before Judge Pender-
CAST late yesterday afternoon.
The complaining witnesses were
E. M. Young and A. J. Carno, who
swore that while kalsomining the
Thomas home they purchased beer
from the defendant.
Charles Scrutchin, attorney for the
defendant, put Mrs. Thomas on the
stand and she vigorously denied that
she had sold beer and succeeded in
convincing the jury that she is mot
that kind of a woman
Several witnesses went on the
stand and testified to the good char
acter of the accused witness and
among these were:
Mrs. May LaValley, Miss Elna
Sykes, Alvin Thomas, a brother OF
the defendant, Mrs. Thomas Beau
mont, Mrs. Rosie Void, Mrs. E.
Rolkey and Miss Viola Beaumont.
Ed Currey, bookkeeper at the Be-
midi brewery testified that during
the month of June one case and four
half cases of beer were purchased
by the defendant.
The case went to the jury at 2:30
p. m. and it took four hours in which
to arrive at verdict. At times all
hopes of arriving at conclusion
were given up and Judge Pendergast
was requested to dismiss them, as
one member of the jury stood out
steadfastly for conviction. When
told by the court that they must de-
liberate for at least twelve hours, a
verdict was the result.
The jury was made up of K. Nc
liver, Ray Murphy, o. E. Bailey,
Charles Pierce and William Meritz

KILLED ON HAY BY LIGHTNING
Young Farmer Victim of Storm Which
Did Other Damage.

Jos. Eudofsky, aged %, single, was
instantly killed by lightning yester-
day while driving a load of hay to
the barn of the Henry Beardmore
farm, northwest of Angus, in Polk
county. Two other men and the team
were knocked down but recovered.
Terrific electric storms and gener-
al showers cooled the atmosphere,
the thermometer dropping from 80
to 20 in four hours. No reports of
hail yet but showers general and in
dications threatening more rain.
The same storm did considerable
damage around Warren. Several
barns and one elevator were I'M
rooted and many small outbuildings
blown down. No one was injured
there, however, remarkable cir
cumstance, as lumber was thrown
from one end of the city to the other.

w0RRY1NG0vER WOMEN JURORS
New Conditions Cause Judges to
Wonder What Will Happen.

Spokane, WASH, July 11.-What
to do with women who will be called
to serve as jurors with men when the
Spokane county superior court con-
venes next September, is one of the
veXing problems confronting the five
members Of the bench, headed by
Judge Henry L. KEENAN,. The vari-
GUS clubs in Spokane have given out
statements that their members are
ready and willing to do jury duty.
The judges hope a modern Solomon
or Portia will come forward to un-
ravel the tangles presented by these
possible situations:
II II women are selected to try a
case and six disagree from the other
six.
II four women decide they are right
in civil action and six men jurors
hold opposite views.
If mixed jury Of men and women
is kept together in a felony case un-
til all are agreed uon verdict.
If six women and six men are
locked in a room to determine the
guilt or innocence of person
charged with capital crime?
Relating to service of jurors in the
superior court the law adopted by
the legislature of 1911, says:
ANY woman desiring to be ex-
cused from jury service may claim
exemption by signing a written or
printed notice thereof and returning
same to the sheriff before the date
OF appearance, and if exemption is
claimed by reason of sex, no fee shall
be allowed for her appearance.
The law provides that the jury
sworn to try the issues in felony
cases shall be kept together and in
custody of the officers of the court
except during the actual progress
of the trial, thus putting it squarely
up to the judges to solve the prob
lem allowing the question to solve
itself, if the women who desire to
serve as jurors can not settle it them
selves.

Granted But Hitch Comes When
Name of John Streeter is Given =
as Bondsman.
NO PARKWAY F0RN1NTHsTREET
Efforts to Have it Abandoned Al
Street Meet With Objection That
Council Sustains. :

In a session more notable for its
brevity than anything else, the city
council last evening was compelled
to retreat in it's stand of a week ago
when it was decided to increase $40
month the salary of Street Commits
sioner Carter
The proposed increase was made
as the result of the efforts being
made by Mr. Carter to get the streets
of Bemidji into good shape.
Proposed Increase Illegal.
During the week, however, it was
discovered that, according to the
present charter, no matter how much
the city might wish to increase the
pay of it's street commissioner it
could not do SO, as had been planned
by the council.
With this advise in hand from
City Attorney P. J. Russell, Alderman
Tom Smart moved that all reference
to the increase be stricken from the
minutes of the previous meeting, and
this motion prevailed and the street
commissioner will continue at the
same old remuneration.
Hitch in Liquor License.
There was hitch in the applica-
ton of Naish McKinnon for liquor
license. The license was granted.
A. B. Cameron and John Streeter
were given as signers of the liquor
license bond Mr.. Cameron was
accepted but the councilmen were not
familiar with Mr.. Streeter and held
up the license pending an investiga-
ton of the qualifications of Mr.
Streeter to act as bondsman.
No Park Way for Ninth.
The council decided that there
would be no parkway established on
| Ninth street between Dewey avenue
and the lake, as had been proposed.
This street has not been opened and
it was thought by some that it might
profitably be parked. Objections
arose, however, and the council last
night decided that it must continue
as street.
The first bids in connection with
the down town paving will be opened
at the next meeting, when proposals
for the necessary storm sewers will
be given attention., and if necessary
the contract will be awarded.
