|NTtRNEC|NE STRIFE
IN REPUBLICAN RANKS
REPORT OF ATTEMPT TO GUST
PERRY AS AlRMAN-PRiEST
LY TO LEAD

Once more is heard the noise that
sounds like strife within thn ranks
of the Roosevelt forces IN Oklaho-
ma Again is heard the rumblings If
discomfort which first We're discern
ible TO the naked ear about the time
"Dynamite' Ed pulled of his yaude.
vile stunt at Coalgate. The cI!
thai harmony in the Teddy ranks
is all shot to pieces becomes mOr"
piercing This time it sounds like the
agonizine wall of a lost conquerOr
who has become ostranged from hi
fellow bolomen in the scramble 20
enlist under the colors of the hng-to-
be.
lngratitude it is, that lies at the
bottom of this latest howde-do which
has been kept half smothered in the
hope that it might suddenly take Il
new lease on life and kick in with
the real goods in the shape OF re
ward for services rendered.
It so hoppened that George C.
Prieatley of Bartlesvillc received the
plaudts of the crowd and took 1t to
mean that he was to furnish the big
noise for oklahoma ON the republi-
can national committee. But alt
that wasn't in line with the lnten
tions of the real star. He had tig-
ured himself in on some of tnac and
the idea that another should get it
didn't set well.
1t hasn't set we'll ever since 1t
happened. Delegates are pledged to
the support of Priestley in thc nc-
tional cCnvention but even at thar,
according to the latest noise, Ed
Perry feels that all is not lost.
Even yet he believes there is IA
chance for him to win back those
plaudits. He is going out after
them. The noise has it that he has
already gone out after them but
has come in minus the grapes. The
delegates have given him the assur-
ance that it gives them great pleas
ure to hear his proposition, that he
fought a wonderful fight, that this is
a cruel world and that they can do
nothing for him. They consider, they
say, that they are bound, hand, hide
and foot.
But that is not all, for Priestler
is said to be preparing a line OF ac-
tion of his own.
Perry is chairman of the delega-
tion which goes to Chicago to assist
in the Roosevelt noise and also 70
urge the commission of George c.
Priestley as official Interpreter for
Oklahoma republicans. Now comes
the announcement that Priestey is
to dine the OkalhC ma delegation in
Oklahoma City on Wednesday night
when not only the shouters but "DiE"
will be present. "Diz,' alias Loren
G. Disney of Muskogee, is a former
acquaintance of Ed Perry's. They
parted company some time since.
There was difference of opinion rs
to how the parts should be rehearsed
so the actors say.
Advance rumor has it that a
scheme will be sprung upon the oc-
casion of this banquet whereby Ed
Perry will be thrown out of his
position at the head Of the Oklaho-
ma Chicago parade and another sub
stituted therefor. The prophet of
Priestley's choice is said to oe jim
Echols of Waurika.
1t is further stated that while this
is being pulled off the orchestra will
be asked to play, That's Gratitude,

THOUSANDS FLOCK
TO HEAR OWEN
SENATOR is HUSiASTiCALlY
RECEIVED AND CHEEREO ALL
ALONG CAMPAIGN ROUTE.
(By J. Burr Gibbons. ....

MuShOSee, Ohld., May 2l.-Mdlhtu
with rOuSing meetings and unusual
incidents which brought TO my mind
historical events of early territorial
days, the first week of Senator Rob
ert l.. owens initial campaign trip
| closed at Tablequah Saturday with
gratifying reception.
From the opening speech at Web
bers Fails on Thursday up to and in
cluding the Tahlequah meeting, the
senator addressed enthusiastic audi
ences of admirers and life long
friends in six towns in eastern Okla
homa. In almost every instance his
audience exceeded in numbers the
population of the respective towns.
At Webbers Falls, Senator Owen
was introduced by o. II. p. Brewer,
former superintendent of the Chero-
kee Seminary at Tahlequah, where
thirty years ago Senator owen, as
the mead of this institution, gave
Brewer his education.
Webbers Falls was chosen as the
place to deliver the opening speech
out of respect to the memory Of
Senator Owen. mother, Mrs Mar
cissa Owen, WHO was born on the
present site of t'is town in 1881.
May 10th was chOsel as the date be-
cause it was the eighteenth anniver-
sary of the birth of the senator's
daughter, Miss Dorothea.
Oklahoma's brilliant statesman was
accompanied to Webbers Falls by
nearly forty of his life long friends
and admirers from Muskogee, and he
was met at Warner by the band and
a delegation of business men from
that thriving community
When, in his speech, Senator Owen
referred to his mother many of her
childhood friends wept, and the SEN
ator almost broke down. Mrs. Will
liam Stuart, a friend of the .Sena-
tors mother, presented him with .
bouquet of roses, and the senator
was visi5y moved. The school chill
dren of the Brewer Academy PIE
sented him with a similar token.
In every town the senator was net
with band and large delegations
of citizens At Oktaha on Friday
schol u1l roep = smissed, the
children were l.nni up to shake
hands witt the senator Tho recep-
tions given a: Warae" AID Fort Glib
son were gra''f"ns
At Wagner the senator's party
was met by the band and a large
delegation of citizens. They were
conveyed to the court house in auto
mobiles, and more than fifteen hun.
dred people, including man; women,
had congregated in the district court
room to hear Senator Owens ad
dress. fle made a masterful sptech,
and enthusiasm was rampant. Many
persons were unable to even secure
standing room.
The reception given the senator at
Tahlequah, where for years he was
superintendent of the Indian school,
exceeded that of any other meeting
thus far on the trip.

POUND SEEKS TO SAVE
SLAYER FERGUSON FROM
POSSIBLE DEATH SEN TENCE
Asks That Man Who Killed H.
G.. Herbert Be Tried in
State Court
TO ARGUE CASE MONDAY
Law Gives State Court Jurisdic-
ton to Middle of River,
Lawyer Contends

Attorney James Pound, acting for
William Ferguson, VINO shot and
killed II. G. Herbert, Canadian immi-
grafton officer, on the ferry Excelsior,
as the vessel was docking at the foot
OF Woodwardave.. few weeks ago,
filed a petition with Judge Codd,
Thursday morning, for writ Of
hafeas corpus, for the purpose OF
making an argument TO determine
whether the trial of Ferguson shall
take place in the federal or state
court The federal authorities hold
that the case comes WITHIN their jur-
isdiction, and Ferguson has already
been arraigned in the federal court,
and remanded to the county Jail to
await his trial.
Mr. Pound contends that the law
gives the state jurisdiction to the cen
ter of the Detroit river, and will adj
vance this contention, backed up by
volume after volume of court de-
cisions in the matter, before Judge
Codd, next Monday morning, when
the writ OF habeas corpus, granted on
the petition, is returnable. Mr.. Pound
cites one case in particular in sup
port OF his theory, namely, that of
William Tyler, who shot and killed
Henry Jones on the steamer Concord,
in the st. Clair river, near Port Hu.
ron, in 1857. Tyler was first tried
and convicted by the federal authori-
ties. What sentence was imposed on
Tyler is not shown in the records,
but they explain that he was after
wards tried by the state on the same
charge and given a sentence of six
years, the supreme court having de
cided that the state had Jurisdiction
in the matter
Mr.. Pound was asked il il were not
singular that Tyler should have been
tried by two courts on the same
charge, and he replied that, while it
might seem strange, 1t was neverthe-
less. true.
Mr.. Pound has two principal rea-
sons for wanting Ferguson tried by
the state authorities. one of which is
that the maximum state punishment
for the crime is life Imprisonment,
while the federal court may impose a
death sentence. The other reason Is
smaller expense in case of appeal
in a state court case.

roads. He stated that what the Com,
mercial club needed was a suitable
place to meet. In St. Peter, the club

O'Clock in the morning until eleven

/ discuss questions of interst to them
/ This was how the Homecoming event

Have Display at State Fair.l
His closing statements touched
on the advisability of having some
of the products of Nicollet and Blue
Earth county shown at the state fair,
! and hoped that next fall, exhibits
from these two counties would be
entered.
The program part of the evening
! then closed, and those present filed
out and across the street to the fire
station where the women of the La.
dies Aid society were waiting to
serve them with oyster stew. Here
the men were seated at long tables
in the hall, which gave the appear
ance of a campaign banquet, as IN
T fact, it was. ~
: "Well, the oysters were cooked
just right" was the typical statement
of one of those present, and that
| was the sentiment of all.
While the banquet was in prog.
! ress, the orchestra from the Com
mercial college played a number of
| selections, as they also did before
and after the program in the school
house. This was pleasing feature.
After the banquet. Professor G. T..
Ball arose and expressed, in behalf
of those present, the hearty. thanks
for, the service given by all those
who had helped to make the pro-
gram and banquet a success, and
made a motion to thank the Ladies
Aid society especially for serving
the members of the club. This
was carried unanimously, all present
voting their thanks by standing up
and cheering. So.
On the whole, the meeting ended
as successfully as it began, and was
considered the climax for enthusiasm
and progress. North Mankato Is not
in the rear when it comes to boost
ing for civic pride. s
The names of the new members
were. read before the meeting, as
published in The Free Press

Sad news of the sudden death of
Louis Il. Janda was received here
last night. He was the son OF Mr..
and Mrs. Louis Janda of this city
and was student. at the state uni
versity. He was twenty years Of age.
On Friday the young man wrote to
his parents here and at that time he
was in perfect health and was plan
ming to come home in about
two weeks for q short vaca-
ton. The first that his parents knew
Of his illness was shortly after six
o'clock yesterday afternoon, when
they received word that he was dam
gerously ill. His death occurred at
about nine O'Clock last evening.
Louis Janda. was born in, Mankato
and has lived here during his entire
life time. He graduated from the
MankatO high school and was in his
second year at the university. He
has always had innumerable friends
here to whom the news of his sad
death will be great shock. Besides
his father and mother. several sis.
ters, and one brother, survive him.
There are number of other rela-
tives living in Mankato. Arrangements
for the funeral will be made tomor-
row.
A phone: message was received in
Mankato this Afternoon from Mr..
Janda stating that his sons death
was accidental and that he would
make an explanation on his arrival
home this evening.

William Mcdonald of Winnebago
tied for high score in the entire
bonspiel, each having eighty-seven

curling paid DR.. Nerbovig homage
for his ability as a curler, and the
Scotchmen seem almost sorry that
man with DR.. Nerbovig's skill is
not of their nationality. The other
members of the Mankato rink were

John r, Snow.
The men who are at the head of
the Burns club stated this morning
that this gathering had been one of
the largest they have ever had at
their annual meeting, and one of the
most successful in every way.
There were not so many members
from away, although Mankato, Win

club in the state. although there are
three or four clans organized, so
Mapleton people and those from
other towns rho belong, feel justly
proud of their organization. One

which told of their celebrations

Celebrations have come and gone;,
people have gathered together for the
purpose of commemorating some great
deed and then forgotten all about
the affairs, but the celebration which
the North Mankato Commercial club
held last night will not soon be
blotted from the pages of the history
of that enterprising village. To one
who was not there this may read like
an exaggeration. but those who
were present will vouch for the
statement that the program prepar-
ed and carried out at the meeting
of the North Mankato Commercial
club to commemorate the results of
the recent campaign for new meln-
bers, was one that should be writ
ten down the most enthusiastic and
helpful that was ever held on the
Nicollet county side Of the river.
The meeting was opened at half
past seven in the assembly room of
the public school building, with
President J. B. Nelson presiding
About $50 members of the club were
present, including the speakers
from out Of town. A short business
session proceeded the peaking Dem
mis- Donahoe reported that his men
had secured twenty new members,
and Henry Robel, Jr., who was cap
tain of the other side, reported that
his division secured eighty new
members, thus making total Of
100 increase in membership, and a
grand total of about 150 members
for the club.
Professor C.. e. Ball moved that
the secretary be instructed to enroll
the names of all new members and
dispense with the necessity OF each
one going to the secretary in per-
son and signing his name. This mo.
ton was carried. Mr.. Ball also said
that while the campaign for new
members closed with the finish, of
this program, it would be advisable
to continue the hustling and solicit
ing, and that if any other prospec-
tives., could be secured, the club
would be that much stronger. If
this is a good thing for one man.,
it is. also good thing for. all" was
the sentiment he put forth. "If it is
good for Nicollet county, then it eer-,
tainly is a good thing for North

Move for State Road.
F. e. Jefferson Z. was. given
the floor for a few moments. He
said that as. long as. this. was to be
a sort of good roads meeting, he
would like to present "a proposition
that would appeal to the members
of the club. He had drawn up q Pc
tition, to get the Mankato and New
Ulm road, beginning at the; foot of
Belgrade hill and going to the New.
Ulm bridge, as state highway. This
petition he circulated at the inter-
sessions of the program and secured
the names of almost every person
present. - F kr
He had really secured about thir-
ty-five or forty names in his section
of the county and had another per-
son also circulating the petition in
Courtland, who had probably secur-
ed about thirty-five name. This petit
tion is to be sent to the county

books. The letter speaks for itself
Minneapolis, Minil., January
25, 1912.-W. d. Willard ESD.
First National Bank, Mankato,
Minn. Dear Sir: With regard
to the accounting system of the
city of Mankato, we, would refer
you to our last audit report dat
ed April %, 1911, in which we
state that, since the commence
ment Of the commission form
of government we have found
the records in both clerks and
treasurer's offices to be carefully
and conscientiously kept"
We have audited the books up
to January l, 1912, and find,
them well kept as before. To
make the records full and COM
plete we have just installed in
the city clerks office the follow
ing new records: First, ledger
showing fully and distinctly the
city's assets, liabilities, income
and expenses. Second, complete
form of monthly trial balances.
AS you are aware these new
records place this city's account
ing system very much ahead of
the system in use in many other
cities. We have recently made
examinations in two cities, where
the treasurer's records have not
been reconciled with the clerks
department for several years.
This, however, has been done by
the Mankato officials regularly
every month.
With reference to the increase
in the 1911 tax levy which
amounts to $4,000. as compared
with 100000 for the preceding
year, the principal reasons there
for are: @.r
First. Damage suits and the
relative legal expenses have been
paid for, amounting to, in all,
$7,781.25. These suits arose out
of the typhoid epidemic of 1908.
Two. The city's share of the
costs of the 1911 paving alone
amounted to $13,7S2.11.
In addition to the above there
has been considerable expendi-
ture for storm sewers, and other
improvements, chargable to the
city at large, the details Of
which can readily be seen in the
permanent improvement and sew
er accounts respectively. Yours
very truly, Mellis, Pirie & Co.
Mr.. Schaub's structures against tn
form of government ar
made to look like fishnet.
The Finances Of City.
Regarding the finances of the cit
he following can be said: TIL
quick assets amount to $137, ,528.2t
This includes the $4,000 tax lev
Ind special assessments of $4,000
Against this is the outstanding ney
special improvement certificates Q
66,528.16. And the city has borrowe,
The city owns propert
-alued at .$655,927.27 on which tler
s an indebtedness of $174,00 il
ponds, and $4,000 against the Cra
,ark. ~.
The city on. January 1, had $6,3O7
'6 cash on hand. During the mex
hree months the current expense
will amount to about $4,000. Durin
his period $1,000 will be receive,
rom saloon liscenses and $4,000 il
water rents, not to mention tn
mount from the March settlement
A careful estimate shows that duI
ng the year the city will receive
$4,000 more money than . will b.

or the council to wipe, out al
lOating indebtedness. :,
