INDIAN RULING FILED
Judge Willard Grants a Permanent
Injunction Against Pussyfoot
Johnson.
CANNOT CL0SE-L0CAL SALOONS

Judge c. A. Willard of the federal
court in St. Paul yesterday ruled that
the effect of the Indian treaties had
been wiped out by, the admission of
Minnesota into the union when
he issued a permanent Injunction
against w. E.. (Pussyfoot) Johnson
from closing or Interfering with the
saloons in Bemidji.
The government agents worked in
northern Minnesota in the fall and
winter of 1910 and Judge Willard is
sued a temporary injunction IN Jan
uary, 1911. The government con-
tended it's right to keep liquor off
former Indian lands under treaties
containing an anti-liquor clause. The
case will be appealed by the govern
ment at the September term of the
circuit court of appeals in Denver.
It was in December, 1910, that
Johnson, then special agent of the
Indian bureau, began his campaign
at Bemidji to close every saloon on
Minnesota lands that had been coded
by the Indians to the United States
under treaties which had included
provisions that no liquor should be
sold on such lands. More than doz-

Majestic to Remodel.

c. J. 'Woodmansee, proprietor of
the Majestic theater, has plans now
under way which when completed,
will give Bemidji one of the most
modern and up-to-date theaters in
the northwest. A twenty foot addi-
ton has been added to the rear of
the building, new steel fire-proof
booth has been installed, two addi-
tional rear exits have been placed
and the front entrances will be en-
tirely changed. When completed
this play house will have four direct
out door exits. The floor will be low
cred from the present row of front
seats into the new addition and seat
ing capacity will accommodate about
400.
The theater will be closed after to-
nights performance for few days to
permit the contractors to complete
the work as speedily as possible.

FLOYD Allen on Trial.

Hillsville, Va, April 23:-In the
same court room where a little more
than a month ago the Allen clans
men shot down Judge Massie, Com
monwealth's Attorney Foster and
three court attaches, Floyd Allen
was called to the bar today to stand
trial for the part he is alleged to
have played in the celebrated trag-
edy. Judge Waller P. Staples of
Roanoke, who was appointed to con-
duct the circuit made vacant by the
tragic death of Judge Massis, sat on
the bench. Immediately after court
convened arguments were begun on
petitions looking to change of ven
ue. It is generally expected, how
ever, that the trials will proceed in
Hillsboro in accordance with the de-.
cision previously rendered by Judge
Staples. The trial of Floyd Allen
will be followed by those of the 9TH
er two members of the clan now in
custody. These are Victor Allen
son of Floyd Allen, and Bud Mar
ion. ~ ~.

On Delivery.

| FARMERS who come to Bemidii to
near James J. Hill speak tomorrow

they obtain tickets at the creamery
by registering their names during
the afternoon. This arrangement
mas been made by the Commercial

as many farmers as he can reach that
cash will be paid for the cream on

farmers who can are urged to come

e-y, have supper as guests of the
Commercial club, and hear Mr.. Hill
in the evening. 49,
Speaking of :. the notices, Mr..
Brooks said, 81 have been unable to
reach all of the farmers because the
list of names is not complete. I
hope, therefore, that each farmer
will consider this a personal invita-
ton to send his cream to Bemidii.
He will receive cash for it,
Mr.. Hill has written that he will
have something to say of especial in
terest to the farmers but beyond that
tells nothing of the subject matter of
his speech. He is scheduled to ar

er the Great Northern, coming from
st. Paul via Sank Center. His party
will be taken for an automobile trip
through the country near Bemidji,

directors of the Commercial. club.
After his speech in the Armory,
which will begin about $3.50, Mr..
Hill will be driven to the CONNER
cial club rooms and there he will
hold an informal reception until the
time for his train to leave. Direc-
tors of the Commercial club wish

court upholds the Elwell law, Bemid-
il will be the junction point of a
state road from Duluth to St. Vim
cent and a road from the Twin City
to International Falls, according to
a statement made by G. M. King,
president of the Northern Minnesota
Development association, to the Pho
neer yesterday afternoon. Mr.. King
said that the law was at present be-
fore the court to estab lish it's con-
stitutionality and that a decision is
expected early in May.
During the past year, Beltrami
county received $500 from the state
as aid in the building of county
roads. Under the operation of the
Elwell law, the county, will have
available, in any given year, twenty
times $500 or $4,000 for the
building of roads. The law provides
that the state pays one-half the cost
of all the roads and that in any CIV
Ell year, county can draw ahead for
ten years. The funds for this are
raised by the present One-quarter
mill tax so that no additional levy is
made.
An amendment to the constitution
has been proposed by Bob Dunn
which will increase the tax from one
quarter of mill to one mill, which
taken with the Elwell law if passed
will bring $4,000 available to Bel
trami county for good roads in any
given year. The northern part of
the state needs roads before it can
be settled and the Elwell law is de-
signed to make this possible.
Mr.. King says that the Duluth-St.
Vincent road is part of a CONT
mental road which will run through
the northern part of the United
States and southern Canada. At Du-
luth, it will connect with road to
be built by Wisconsin from Superior
to Milwaukee and thence to Chicago,
there connecting with roads going
east. At St. Vincent, it will con-
meet with road to Winnipeg which
in turn connects with one running to
Vancouver. 1t will also have a
branch west of Bemidji which will
run to Crookston and Grand Forks.
The Twin City-International Falls
road will come to Bemidji via St.
Cloud and the state park and run
north through Northome and Black
duck. Providing the Elwell law is
held valid, Mr.. King says that sur
veys will be started at once and work
begun as soon as the money becomes
available.
Under the present law, the state
commission gives each county a sum
each year to assist in building the
roads; under the Elwel1 law, the
state commission will give the coun-
ty ten times this amount for any one
year. 1t further provides that the
county stands one-quarter of the ex-
pense and the land owners the other
quarter, making twenty times the
present amount available for any one
year, and cutting the county road
and bridge tax seventy-fve per cent
The Elwell law was upheld in the
Ramsey county courts by Judge DIN
B. Lewis and is now before the Su-
preme court on appeal.

GOLD BEACH AND WE'D
DERBURN WANT ROAD.

At a recent meeting of the business
men of Gold Beach and Wedderburn,
located at the mouth of the Rogue
river, held at the Breakers Hotel at
Gold Beach, the proposition of a
wagon road up the Rogue to Grants
Pass was discussed, and the necessity
of the highway was urged by several
speakers. The coast people decided
to take up the matter with the
Grants Pass Commercial club, and
through the efforts of both towns to
bring about the building of the road.
The county Of Josephine and the
forestry service are about to COM
mence the expenditure of an SiSOO
appropriation upon the trail down the
river. and the advocates of the road
believe that this trail should ultim-
ately be widened for the passage Of
vehicles. The grade will be suitable,
bnt in many places considerable eN-
pensive rock would be necessary.
A wagon road at present extends
for a few miles up the coast from
Gold Beach and Wedderburn and
