STEVENSON Is CAUSTIC
Discusses White Earth Troubles in
Statement.

Washington, D. C.-The issues
arising out of the White Earth Indian
reservation controversy were aired in
broadside delivered by Representa-
tive Stevenson of Minnesota. Strik-
ing out at all who have criticized the
laws relating to White Earth reser-
walton matters, and directing his at
tack in many particulars at M. c..
Burch, special assistant attorney gen.
eral of the department of justice, Mr..
STEVENSON did not hesitate to assail
those who have made what he asserts
are incorrect statements about con-
ditions at White Earth and the oper-
atoms of the federal laws relating
to the reservation.
The statement was brought out pri-
marily by published account of
charges made by Mr.. Burch that the
federal laws had enabled the lumber
companies to evade the laws of the
state prohibiting such companies from
holding more than 5000 acres of land.
After showing how President Taft. in
public utterances, rebuked those who
were undermining public confidence in
officials by attacks upon the judiciary
Mr.. STEVENSON declared that the
charge made by Mr.. Burch was a re-
Election upon Judge Page Morris, who
was the author of one of the import
ant White Earth land laws.

LOSS IN TAXATION
Moneys and Credits Valuation $3s,ea4
Less Than 1910.

st. Paul.-The state tax commission
issued a statement summarizing the
operation of the new law for taxation
OF moneys and credits. Under the act
they were assessed in 1911 for the
first time at a fiat rate of 3 mills on
the dollar, which was designed to
bring about general listing of moneys
and credits. Though the actual taxes
received from this class of property
were less by $3S,984.79 than in 1910.
the tax commissioners are we'll
pleased with the first trial of the law.
and expect to see a large increase in
revenue in 1912.
The statement shows the 1910 val
uatiOns of moneys and credits to have
been $13,919,S06, which brought $685.
43O.2l in taxes. The 1911 valuation
was S115,481, 807, and the 3-mill tax
brought $346,445.42 in taxes. There
was an increase in revenue in sixty
seven counties, amounting to $685.
371.55, while nineteen counties showed
a total decrease of $122,356.34. The
big decrease was in Hennepin county.

RELIEVE CONGESTION
Chopping Ice at Fort William to Let
Boats Up TO Elevators.

Winnipeg, Manitoba.-To alleviato
grain congestion at the head of the
lakes, ice, three feet thick, is being
chopped out of elevator approaches at
Fort William and boats are being
run up to elevator spouts and loaded
at an added cost of $4,000 per vessel.
There are 40 vessels in the bay. and
it is estimated that they will hold an.
proximately 100000 bushels of grain.
Grain is, however, coming in too
heavily, and it will probably be spring
before the congestion abates to any
noticeable extent.
Replying to stories to the effect
that 100000 bushels of tough"
wheat lay in western Canada at the
present time, w. E. Lanigan, assist
ant freight traffic manager of the
Canadian Pacific railroad, said that he
did not believe there was such a
quantity. Mr.. Lanigan pointed out the
fallacy of any attempted estimate and
under the circumstances stated that
any estimate was merely more or less.
accurate guess work.
The Grand Trunk asserts that
there is no car shortage along it's
route, while the Canadian Northern
would make no statement.

NO BIBLE AT MANKATO

Mankato.-The reading of the Bible
at the opening exercises in the high
school has ceased, after having been
in vogue for many years, without oh.
lection on anybody's part. At the last
meeting of the school board one of
the members, j. E. Regain, objected to
the practice, saying that two or three
persons had spoken to him against it.
He moved that the custom be discon.
tinued, but received no second to his
motion, and the other members ex-
pressed sorrow that the point had
been raised. Other Catholic mem
bers of the board disagreed with him.
However, Mr.. Regain said that the
reading of the Bible would have to
cease, and so notified the city super.
intendent
Superintendent Sperry took the mat
ter up with c. G. Schulz, superintend-
ent of public instruction. and has re.
ceived the following reply:
"St. Paul.-In reply to your inquiry.
let me say that Attorney General
Childs, in an opinion rendered in De-
cember, 1895, held that reading any
portion of the Bible or repetition of
the Lords prayer in the public schools
is in violation Of the constitution Of
Minnesota, and therefore prohibited.
The opinion still remains in force as
law at present. You are, therefore,
advised that under this Interpretation
the practice which you say has pre-
vailed in the high school at Mankato
Of reading passages from the old tes-
lament and reciting the Lords prayer
is not in harmony with the constitu-
ton of Minnesota as interpreted by
Attorney General Childs. Yours very
truly, C. G. Schulz
1t is said the practice of Bible read
ing is carried on in many schools of
the state. In one or more country
school districts in this county it is
said Catholic services are carried out
without objection by other residents
of the district.

NINE MONKS BEHEADED.
Turkish Mob Storms Bulgarian Mon
astery and Deals Death.

Sofia, Bulg.-Storming a Bulgari-
an monastery near Uskab, a Turkish
mob decapitated nine monks while
they begged for mercy.
The fathers were assembled in
prayer when the mob, appeared be-
fore the monastery and demanded ad-
mittance. The order was refused and
a volley of shots was fired through
the windows. Still the monks refused
10 open the doors, and the mob be-
gan fierce assault with a battering
ram. One of the big steel gates was
shattered and the frenzied Turks
rushed to the altar where the nine
monks were kneeling before statue
of the Virgin, praying that they be
shielded from danger.
Without listening to the pleas of
the terror-stricken victims, the Turks
dragged them from the altar and
struck off their heads one by one.
The slaughter of the monks was be-
lieved to have been inspired by the
blowing up of Turkish mosque sew
eral weeks ago.

At a church convention in Georgia
some years ago the preacher who de-

from manuscript. He used small
sheets of paper, and as he read one
he laid it aside on the pulpit. AS tho
sermon was long (and many leaves)
the minister, in concluding, said:
We will close the service by the
choir selecting some appropriate
hymn" And that choir, by associa-
