Country.
RECEPTION AFTER THE ADDRESS
TO Be Held in Commercial Club
Rooms and Will Be Open to
ALI Interested.

James J. Hill, known the world
over as the Empire Builder of the
Great Northwest, will speak in Be-
midi Wednesday evening at $3.50 D.
NJ, his address having a special sig
nificance for the farmers and bear
ing particularly on the development
ct this country. It will be Mr.. Hills
first visit to Bemidji, as he has never
before taken time to stop off.
Mr.. Hill is scheduled to arrive
from st. Paul by special train over
the Great Northern, coming via Sank
Center, and is due in here at $3.50 D.
M. He will be met by a delegation
of the leading men of Bemidji and
all will then be taken on an auto ride
through the country near the city.
Returning from the ride, Mr.. Hill
will be entertained at dinner in the
Markham by the directors of the
Commercial club only.
In the evening, Mr.. Hill will de-
liver his address in the Armory, on
bemidji avenue, and no seats will
be reserved, a general invitation hav-
ing been issued to all who can at
tend: Following the speech, he will
be driven to the Commercial club
rooms where an informal reception
will be held and Mr.. Hill will per-
sonally meet those who wish to say
a word to him.
Outside Of the speech which Mr..
Hill will deliver in the Armory, in
terest centers in what he will say
regarding a new depot for the Great
Northern railroad in this city and
also concerning the opening of the
line running north from Wilton to-
wards Island Lake. Bemidji people
have long wanted a new Great
Northern depot as the present one
was built when this city was but a
clearing in the woods. The Will
ton road is wanted open as many
people in that section of the country
now find it difficult to come here to
trade.
Directors of the Commercial club
pointed out that if Mr.. Hill is not
greeted by large crowd, it might
be construed that interest is lacking
not only in development information
but in the other matters of new
depot and better railroad service.

New York, April 22.-Following
is a summary of the evidence
brought out at Saturdays Titanic
inquiry:
The White Star line ship Baltic
was notified before 2 a. m. Monday
that the Titanic was sinking fast,
and at 1920 a. m. that she had gone
down with most of her passengers
and crew, the survivors being on
the CarpaUhia.
On the same Monday afternoon,
the White Star line notified Con-
gresham Hughes of West Virginia
that the Titanic was proceeding to
Halifax and that all on board were
safe.
No report was sent from the Car
pathia to Justify the statement that
the Titanic or her passengers were
safe.
The advent of the Carpathia upon
the scene was the merest accident,
the operator catching the distress
message as he was retiring for the
night, and while waiting for a re-
Spouse from another ship.
Six hours before the Titanic was
struck by an iceberg, her captain
had received warning that the Cali
fornian in about the same position
had passed very close to three large
bergs.
The first reply received by the Ii
tanic operators to their distress call
was from the German liner Frank
fort, which, according to the surviv-
ing Titanic operator, ignored the ur-
gent demand for assistance.
Bride, the surviving Titanic opera
tor, told of seeing people running
about the decks of the Titanic just
before she went down, searching for
lifebelts
Captain Smith of the Titanic,
Bride said, jumped from the bridge
into the ocean about five minutes be-
fore the waves closed over the big
ship. He wore no libebelt and Bride
never saw him again.
Scores Of libebelted men and wom-
en- struggled to get hold of the last
boat, collapsible, which was thrown
into the sea and fell bottom up, and
were driven off by officers after it
was filled.
Liverpool, April 22-Captain Ran
son, of the White Star line steamer
Baltic, on arriving at this port Sat-
urday from New York, said he had
received message appealing for as
sistance from the Titanic and that
the calls broke off abruptly. The
Baltic steamed toward the scene of
the disaster for nine hours, when she
received a dispatch from the Car
pathia saying all the Titanic's boats
had been picked up, and that no fur
Their assistance was required.
New York. April 22.-Fifty bell
boys on the Titanic went to their
death smiling and Joking, taking
great delight in. breaking the rules
against smoking on duty.
James Humphreys, a quartermast-
er, who commanded the lifeboats,
told how the fifty lads died. They
were called to their quarters when
the fate of the ship became apparent,
and for an hour stuck to their posts
while the struggle to get women into
the lifeboats went on. Just as the
ship sank, they were told to endeav-
or to save themselves. Not one of
them attempted to approach the life
