Old Home Week celebration yesterday. 1t in

may be larger features before the week closes it
doubted that the greatest of them will make such
strong appeal to the feeling Of home pride
did the thousands of holiday-clad and care-free
children who marched through streets yester-
day. The parade splenddly managed and reflected
credit upon Superintendent Twitmyer Principal Berlin
and the others who had in charge Nor should praise
be withheld from the police for the good work they did
in guarding the lines That work showed that they
appreciated fully the great responsibility that had
been put upon them in guarding from harm the little

SENATOR DUPONT WILL NOT RESIGN.

THE EvENfNa JOURNAL is authorized to deny
emphaticRIIy and unequisOcaIly story which
appeared today in Democratic newspaper published
In Philadelphia, that United States Senator Henry
A. DUPONT is preparing TO resign and retire from
public life. The story plainly inspired by the
Democratic campaign managers here, and has alb.
sOluteIy foundation.
senator DUPONT Is in France, where he is recuper-
nting from the mental and physical strain of arduOus
panstang and faithful work in behalf of the people
of the State and Nation in a long and important
sion Of Congress. When he returns he will resume
his duties a United States Senator. His term will
not expire until four years hence and, although he
is wen advanced in years, he expects to out
that term. Since he has been in the Senate he has
won the distinction of being of the very best Sem
ators that Delaware has sent to Washington.
What object the managers Of the Democratic machine
had in view when they cOncOcted and gave publicity
TO story that he will resign is not clear. Seeming
y IL is merely another act Of political Stiffness for
which the incompetent salisbury machine has be-
notorious.

DEFENDS ACTION
(By United Press).

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 11.-Facing
an audience that cheered him to the
echo in Dreamland park here Colonel
Roosevelt detailed his taking over the
Panama strip. His speech followed
the greatest demonstration that has
yet been accorded the colonel. He
headed an automobile parade about
the city and the sidewalks were lined
with cheering thousands.
Roosevelt declared that he believed
the greatest service he had rendered
was not in settling the Japanese
Russian war, for which he was
awarded the Nobel prize, but the
sending of the United States feet
around the world.
Discussing criticisms of his action
in securing the canal zone he said:
IF I had followed the regular
course we would have made an able
report on which congress would have
debated for several years and the ca
nal would have been fifty years in
the future.
Congress did not have an able re-
port to debate on so they debated on
me. The debate goes fitfully on.
"But congress got the debate and
the people got the canal.

new DEPOT IN SIGHT
Heads Of Nine Railways Meet to
Inspect Plans Prepared By
49, J. J. Hill. E

St. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 11.-(Spec-
ial to the Pioneer1 -After years of
vain hopes by the business men of
ST. Paul, the capital city of Minneso-
ia, is to have new station CONNER
surate with the size of the city and
in keeping with the rapidly growing
territory Of the northwest. e.
Executive officers of nine of the
railways, which use the present sta
tion in St. Paul, met last week in the
mayors Office at the call of M. D.
Mum, chairman Of the River and
Harbor commission, and after discus
sing the need of a new station they
went to J. J. Hills Office to inspect
the plans which he had prepared for
station over year ago. Although
there was no approval of these plans
in any official manner, it is under
stood that the railway heads were
much pleased with the tentative out
lines, and agreed to send their engi-
neers to St. Paul at once to go over
the plans in detail.
|. At the present time, but one sta
tion in the country, so far as records
go, has more trains passing through
the station in the twentyfour hours
than has st. Paul. The large num-
Der of railways centering along the
river front, bringing thousands Of
people every day to the city, many
of them to remain, and others to con-
tinue their journey to the Pacific
Coast, calls for a station of larger
capacity. An average of nearly 3d.
900 people per day pass through the
station at the present time, and dur
ing state fair week, and extra occa-
sions, it's numbers are considerably
augmented. zs.. r..
| The new station will have more
than double the trackage capacity of
the present one, and fifty or sixty
thousand people q day can make use
of it's facilities without crowding any
portion of it. No estimate has been
made of it's cost nor when construc-
ton will begin, although the rail-
way heads have agreed that the work
should be pushed as rapidly as pos
sible. The construction of the sta
ton will require the use of con-
siderable portion of what is now the
bed of the Mississippi river. The
Depot and Harbor commission has al

STRIKERS IN RIOTS
(By United Press).

Duluth, Sept. 11.-Early this
morning, car men on the Superior
lines voted to join the street railway
strike. The Duluth merchants asso-
citation has asked for arbitration.
During the night, the mob got beyond
the control of the police. Rioters
bombarded the cars with rocks and
attacked the barns. They fought the
police with rocks and planks and
many were injured in the melee by
flying missiles.
While the condition is not looked
upon as serious, the crashing of
stones through car windows made
riding dangerous.

SIT is the sentence of this court
that as punishment for attempted

F. Dumas, be and you hereby are, or
dered confined at hard labor in the
state prison at Saltwater" said Judge
McClenahan to DR.. D. F. Dumas in
district court yesterday afternoon.
DR.. Dumas came from Cass Lake
with his counsel yesterday afternoon
and they proceeded at once to the
court house. Dumas was busy with
his Cass Lake practice up to the last
moment of leaving. 1t helped him
keep up his iron nerve and when he
appeared in the court room he was
the coolest man present.
Dumas made no statement to the
court beyond answering the questions
propounded by the judge. The ru-
NOR early in the day that he would
make full confession appeared I'M
founded as he maintained his inno-
cence to the last.
Spear Addresses Court.
In speaking for his client, Mr..
Spear said in part: ''The defense
will take no further action in the
case. I make this statement in order
that the court may know that the
stay granted last spring was taken
in good faith, but the expense of the
litigation makes it prohibitive. In
the early stages of the defense, it
was seen that DR.. Dumas would have
to appeal for assistance. His father
responded nobly and is still ready tt
spend the money if necessary, but
my client refuses to allow it and is
before the court for sentence.
Gle shows no disposition to com
plain. He is not whimpering. HI
is not down on his marrow bones
He only regrets that due to the pro
gress of his trial and the advise O.
former counsel, his story was denied
the jury and the general public
Counsel does not wish to reflect OF
previous counsel but had my Glen
had the opportunity to take the stant
and testify, am satisfied the result
would have been different. At least
the jury would have had a chanc
to weigh the case and pass faire
Judgment.
Maintains His Innocence.
"My client realizes that by aban
doning his motion he is appearin,
before the court in the light of plead
ing guilty. He is victim of cir
cumstances. Because of the advis
under which he acted, he did not g
on the stand and now the door i
closed to him forever. The docto
would have liked an opportunity t.
appear on the stand and state tn
facts as he knew them
