Tore Down Red Flag.

A dramatic feature was added to
the Memorial Day parade at Musca-
tine when a crippled veteran,
accompanied by several comrades.
stormed the rooms of the socialist
\ headquarters and tore down red
flag which had been hoisted above
the Stars and Stripes. The socialists
of Muscatine brought condemnation
on their heads by this open display
of un-Americanism and placed them
selves and their party in the worst
possible light. If they cared TO
hoist an American flag above their
headquarters, or If they did not,
that was their privilege, but to do
so and then surmount it by the en-
blem of anarchy was an open insult
to every good American citizen.

IS
NOTIFIED

Tucson, Arizona, Aug. 1O.-Spec-
ial Pioneer wire service.-Hundreds
of persons who crowded the Cutter
Park this afternoon witnessed the
informal ceremony which served to
notify Eugene w. Chaplin, of Tucson,
that he had been nominated for the
presidency of the United States by
the Prohibition national convention
which met recently at Atlantic City.
Rev. Charles Mead of New York,
who was chairman of the conven-
ton, delivered the notification ad-
dress. The presidential candidate
replied in a brief speech which
charged the old parties with side
stepping the supreme issue of the
high cost of living problem which
is the production of liquor.

TURNSTiLES AT STATE FAIR
Management Adopts Continuance t
Allow People to Enter Gates By
Dropping a Coin.
INVENTED IN MINNEAPOLIS.

J. Will Bates Of Minneapolis, a
successful inventor of many practical
appliances, has perfected coin turn
|stile in which the state fair manage
ment has so much confidence that it
has decided to install twenty-six OF
the machines for use at the coming
fair. Coin turnstiles have been in
successful use at many of the big
fairs for some time but it is believed
that the Minneapolis genius has de-
vice which viii more than compete
with the other kinds.
"Will'' Bates was at the fair last
year and after watching the five coin
turnstiles then in use he decided to
work up a scheme of his own. The
result is that he has worked out two
models One turnstile is of the con-
vertible type and the other is duplex.
The former kind, of which there will
be twenty-four machines put in use,
allows for admittance by the inser-
ton of either rs or SO cent pieces at
different times. It does away with
the need of two machines, where one
will do. During the day, at the state
fair, the Bates machines will be ad-
justed to take in SO cent pieces. At
6 o'clock, by the application of a
screw driver, they will be changed to
accept rs cent pieces. The two ma
chimes of the duplex model, which
will be installed allow for the admit
lance of both adult and minor, with
out any change of mechanism, one
slot being for rs cent pieces and the
other for so cent pieces. These ma
chimes are unlocked by the operators
by use of lever, as soon as the
coin drops.
There will be money counters at
the fair, but visitors will save time
and labor if they bring along "quar-
ters' and "halves.''
The coin turnstiles will be sta
toned at all the outsides gates and
at all such important entrances az
the grandstand, bleachers and pavil-
lion. @

Hundreds of persons viewed the
body of Norman Helmer, deputy
sheriff of Beltrami county who was
slain Thursday afternoon in battle
with an unknown tramp, as it rest
ed in state in the city hall this after
noon. From 2 until 5, steady
stream of the dead mans friends
passed by the coffin to obtain a last
look at the man they respected and
loved.
The coffin was surrounded with
floral tributes and American flags.
While it was lying in state, members
of the Bemidji lodge of Pythias were
in charge of the body. IS
Helmer's funeral will be public
and services will be held in the city
hall. The body will be buried from
the building in which he had head
quarters when on the police force
of the city of Bemidji. Interment
will be made in the vault at. Green
wood in the presence of relatives
and close friends only. Reverend
Flesher will have charge of the SER
vices and E. E. Mcdonald will deliver
an eulogy.
Hardy M. Clark, Kenneth McIver,
Philip Gill, George Anderson, J. A.
Mcdonald and Joe Bisiar served as
a coroner's jury yesterday afternoon
and returned verdicts for both Hell
mer and the unknown Finn. In the
first case it found that Helmer came
to his death from bullet wound
feloniously inflicted on him by w.
Wayne, whose true name was UNI
known, while Wayne was resisting
lawful arrest and while Helmer was
acting in his official capacity as a
deputy sheriff.
| It was found that Wayne met his
death from wounds inflicted by Nor
man Helmer while acting as deputy
sheriff of Beltrami county and while
trying to arrest Wayne after he had
had shot and wounded Norman Hell
mer. Examination of the Finn
showed that he had been shot four
times, two bullets hitting the lower
right arm, one the shoulder and one
passing through the body close to
the heart.
Those who know Helmer we'll be-
lieve that when he first realized he
was struck he pulled his automatic
with the idea of Gripping the Finn
so that he could not get away, for
the two shots hit the lower right
arm and forced the Finn to drop his
gun before he could again pull the
trigger. Helmer then shot third
time and hit the Finn in the right
shoulder about the time he must have
staggered back. A fourth shot hit
him just over the appendix and
passed through the body. The
fourth shot was the fatal one and 1t
