IS CAREFUL OF STAMPS,
U. S. Attorney General Does Not
Abuse Franking Privilege.
By United Press.

BY United Press.
Washington, Aug. 17.-For care
full supervision of department expen-
ditures-careful from his standpoint
General Wickersham pro-
badly has something on most cabinet
officers. 1t has long been the custom
of government officers to make use of
the little emoluments which come
within their prerogatives. Thus a.
cabinet officer would in most cases
believe himself entitled to the use of
the franking privilege even when
sending out personal letters.-If he
made a speech he would have the
government printing Office print it
at government expense
But not so with Wickersham. If he
addresses any member of his family
by mail he uses a stamp which he
pays for himself. If he sends out any
mail matter which might under any
circumstances be construed as private
business and not strictly concerned
with the governments affairs he pays
Off the postage. When he makes a
speech and his friends send in for
copies he has it printed at his own
expense.
It is not so long ago that Secre-
tary Knox was severely criticised by
house committee for keeping his
valet on the pay rolls of the state
department as a messenger.

Reports from the country say that
both small and large game will be
plentiful this year and some large

and grouse have come into much of
the cut-over land and have raised big
hatchings this year. Partridge are
reported plentiful and the covies
larger than last year. Ducks have
had a good season and nearly every
small lake has number.
From the northern end of the
county, reports are that the big game
is plentiful and that moose and deer
hunters should be able to get their

Mr.. Gould said this morning, ''This
is the biggest sale we ever had. We
have emphasized that the quality of
goods offered is higher for the price
than at any sale ever held before by
us and the people are not slow to take
advantage of the fact. Our goods are
moving better than we expected. 1t
certainly pays to have good goods and

Grasses and Grains in High Stand
and Prospects for First Glass
Booth Thought Good.
TAKE SPECIMENS OF GAME
Moose and Deer Heads, Mounted Fish
and Small Birds Will be For
warded August 20.

Headquarters for exhibits to be
shown at the state and county fairs
will be opened Tuesday, August 20,
in the room formerly occupied by the
Hanson grocery next to the creamery
on Minnesota avenue. A. P. Richie
announced this morning that COM
petent person would be placed in
charge of the rooms and all exhibits
carefully tended as soon as they are
brought in.
Mr.. Richie appeared enthusiastic
over the prospects of making a good
showing for Beltrami county at the
fair. He says that the county will
make the best showing of grasses in
it's history, and that other crops are
good, too. "Grasses in the southern
part of the county," said Mr.. Richie,
sare in excellent condition. The
same is also true of the grains. The
stands are high and the heads big
and full. l have not been in the
northern part of the county, but from
what I heard, I believe their crops
are first-class also.'
Tie material ~fUT-tf1c- BcitEani ex-r
hibit will be shipped from Bemidd on
August 29. 1t will reach the fair
grounds on Friday and those in
charge of the exhibit will then have
two days in which to get it ready for
inspection. The specimens will be
sent back to Bemidji as soon as the
fair is over and the majority will be
used again here in the county fair.
"Potatoes should be dug the day
before they are shipped to the fair
said Mr. Ruitchie eff dug earlier,
they are apt to dry out and also be
spoiled by the sun. Good prizes are
being offered for the best potatoes
shown and Beltrami county farmers
should be able to get good share of
this money"
Those who see the county exhibit
at the state fair this year will see one
different from any other ever shown.
Mr.. Richie is endeavoring to secure
specimens of moose and dear heads
and also mounted small game which
will be used in making border
around the booth. Mounted speci-
mems of big fish caught in this coun-
ty will also be used and the booth
will be so arranged that it will make
lasting impression on the city

AYIAT0RS WANT ARM0R
Army Men to Be Given Uniforms of
Bullet Proof Cloth to Be Used
While in Air.

(CopyrightJ

Washington, August 17-Uniforms
of bullet proof cloth, such as have re-
Gently been invented+in Japan, will
probably be prescribed Shy the army
authorities for the corps of aviation,
it is learned at the war department.
The circumstance which will bring
about this order was the recent
wounding of an Italian flying scout
who was struck high in the air by an
Arab bullet while over Tripoli.
Captain Monte is the name of the
Italian officer who thus gained the
distinction of being the first aviator
to be wounded by a rifle bullet. He
was badly wounded, but gripped con-
troll of his senses and piloted his fra
gile monoplane back to his own camp,
landing safely and delivering to his
commanding officer valuable Informal
ton of the enemy which he had
gained on his flight. His machine
was hit four times by the enemy's
duck hunters"
Captain Monte also succeeded in
dropping some damaging bombs in
the Arab ranks.

onstrated to army scientists study

FREED BY
HIS JURY
By United Press.

By United Press, -
Los Angeles, Aug. 17.-Clarence S.
Darrow is innocent of the change of
bribing the jury in the Mcnamara
case. The verdict was brought in
thirty-seven minutes after the jury
had retired at 1855 this morning af-
ter a closing argument by the defense
lasting several days. The jury had
been hearing evidence in the case for
two months. Judge Hutton, of the
Superior court, was on the bench.
Two word portraits of barrow
were held before the jury yesterday
The first by barrow himself at the
close of remarkable plea in his own
behalf, painted him as the lifelong
friend of the poor and oppressed,
ready to sacrifice himself to better
their condition. The other, drawn
at the beginning of the final argu-
ment by District Attorney John D.
Fredericks, presented barrow as an
enemy of society, "inciting class ha-
tired and shedding maudlin tears of
sympathy for murderers and dyna-
miters."
Still under the spell of the Defend
ants eloquence hundreds thronged
the courtroom at the afternoon ses-
sion to hear Mr.. Fredericks make the
closing argument for the prosecution.
He said he would not attempt to COM
pete in oratory with barrow, whose
persuasive eloquence and pathetic
pleas had caused jury, court officials
and spectators to weep.
you have listened" said Freder-
icks, ''to one of the most marvellous
addresses or orations ever delivered
in any courtroom, when you heard
Mr.. barrow. But that only reflects
upon the ability of the man, and has
mighty little to do with his guilt or
innocence
ellis story teaches us that the most
brainy men have gone wrong This
defendants unfortunate predicament
is the result of these peculiar views
which go to make up his very nature.
His insidious hand entered into brib-
cry from the very beginning of the
Mcnamara case; bribery is in his
very nature. He had the idea, that
there was no integrity that could not
be bought

POLICEMAN IS ARRESTED.

Hamburg, August 17.-Unable to
resist the attractions of a succulent
sausage policeman poked his sabre
through a partly opened -tore win
dow and impaled the tempting NOR
sci. He had barely commenced to de-
YOUR it when he was approached by
a civilian who had been watching his
exploit, and who ordered him to fol-
low to the police station. The situa-
ton was too much for even a German
policeman and after vainly pleading
for mercy, he meekly followed his
captor and was duly arrested. He is
now awaiting trial for larceny.

A MIDDLETOWN
LEGAL OPINION
Judge Foster Renders Deci-
sion in 0yerseer Matter.
Special 10 the EVENING NE VS..

SpSCIIF 20 GNc hFENlNG NE WIS.,
Middletown, Feb. 19:-Judge John e.
Foster, counsel for the Middletown
township, handed down a decision at
their meeting Thursday night for the
committeeman as requested at their last
meeting in regards to the legality of
the township committee having the
power to appoint the Road Overseers
and the fixing of their salary and wages
to be paid the men working under them.
In the opinion Of the Judge he stated in
substance and quoted the law of 1891
wherein the township Committee was
empowered to appoint a road superin.
tendent, overseers, ETC., fix their pay
and term of office.
The law Of 1908 creates the office of
Road Supervisor to be elected by the
people, but Is silent as to appointment
of overseers. Judge Foster holds that
there Is nothing in the act of 1903 in
consistent with that section of the act
Of 1891 in reference to appointments,
except as to the road superintendent,
who is superseded by q supervisor
elected by the people for a definite
term.
Furthermore, Judge Foster pointed
out that an act of 1910, in reference to
repairing roads and lighting streets, re-
cognizes the right Of the township com
mittee to appoint oveEseers. At every
point the position taken by the Middle
town township committee is upheld by
the council and it is understood that
the majority of the committee intend
to carry out the original plan as laid
out at a previous meeting and to pro
coed along those lines.
