DENMARK.

A party of actors and actresses,
while preparing to enact a thrilling
drama for the benefit of the spectators
at moving picture shows, have had a
remarkably narrow escape from being
the unwilling victims of a tragedy in
real life. They had hired a steamer
at Lemvig and had arranged to have
q fictitious shipwreck, in the course
of which their vessel was to be strand
ed and they were to be heroically res
cued after confronting apparently dan
gers and suffering. Much TO their
alarm, however, they were forestalled
by reality. They had been cruising
about for a couple of hours, during
which time the operator had been taxi
ing pictures of the usual incidents of
life on the ocean waves, when the
forces of nature thought it was time
to give them taste of the real thing.
And the real thing proved to be no
joke. A tremendous storm arose and
for 10 hours the steamer drifted about
at the mercy of the wind and waves.
The gallant ship was upon the point
of laundering in reality when help ar
rived in the shape of a boat from
Lemvig, where the fishermen had
grown anxious at the failure of the
steamer to return to port. The actors
and actresses were rescued in the
nick of time and Is minutes later the
steamer sank.

commercial. Every inch of space was
contracted for within half an hours
time on the evening the spaces were
allotted. Since that time the manage.
ment has been obliged to refuse space
to nearly score of firms who were late
with their applications. OF all the au-
tomobile shows ever held in Minneap-
Oils, experts say this one will be the
most comprehensive. Sixty-one COM
plete lines of cars and commercial
vehicles will be shown and in some
of the lines, a "complete' line calls
for six or seven models. Special show
cars will be shipped here from Chi
cago where the manufacturers dis
play them the week previous. This
means that people of the northwest
will have many of the star attrac-
tlons OF the big Chicago and New York
shows.
A startling scheme of decoration has
been arranged and this, together with
singing and band concerts will do
much to enlfven the eight days of the
show. Factory representatives from
the biggest concerns in the country
are coming in large numbers and ad-
vance hotel reservations in Minneap-
oils indicate that there will be several
thousand visitors in town for the
show.

AS to the proposition of tablishi1g
Z Norwegian-Danish line of car ferries
tor the purpose of drawing some Of
the direct wedish-German traffic
through Denmark, the Danish minister
Of traffic has stated that he does not
think tnat such line will be started
and he Is not inclined to support it.
But on the other hand he thinks that
the Danes ought to see that the steam
boat traffic between Denmark and
Norway be improved, provided the
Norwegians will put fast steamers on
a line from Norway to Fredrikshavan,
Denmark.
Georg Brandes, the great Danish
literary critic, has written an interest
ing review of the work of Robert
Stein, a German-American, on the
international position of Scandinavia
in general and Denmark in particular.
Mr.. STEMS arguments are summed up
as follows: In the first place, the
keys to the Baltic Sea are in the
hands of the Danes. In the second
place, the fact that 100000 Danes in
voluntarily are chained to Germany
has a depressing effect. All of them
are Scandinavians, and the Scandi-
navaans are the best sailors, the best
soldiers, the best workers, the most
genuine Germans, the purest Aryans,
the salt of the earth Gan author,
Ludwig Wiser, even asserts that all
the German tribes came ORIGINALLY
from Scandinavian The good will, or
the Ill will, of these 100000 might
at a vital moment tip the scale in
favor. or in disfavor, of Germany. In
the third place, the Danish royal fam
lily is related to the reigning dynasties
Of England, Russia, Sweden, Norway,
Greece and Spain. The continual in
f1uence,-even if unconscious,-that
the royal family merely by such rela-
tionship exerts upon public senti-
ment in almost every large European
state is among the powers which can
be neither measured nor weighed, but
which cannot be overlooked when one
= searching for the reasons for Ger
many's isolated position. DR.. Stein
goes so far as to assert that Mesopo-
tamia would by this time have been
in German possession, had an under
standing with Denmark been reached
twelve years ago. Germany has here
acted like poor chess player who sac
rifices his queen in order to save q
pawn.

East Grand Forks for Fraud.

East Grand Forks.-Although free

in this manner.
Parsons served the penitentiary

ed in this county.

Winona. - Following a blood trail
from a downtown saloon to a boat

SWEDEN.

The Swedish navy has just received
it's first aeroplane.
The new liberal cabinet which came
into power as the result of the general
elections last September has cancelled
the order for the guns of a type F
battleship which was contracted for
by the conservative government after
hard struggle in the riksdag. Prep
arations for building the vessel also
have been ordered stopped. The
orders have provoked much discussion
among the people and in the press.
The conservative organs express the
fear that the liberal government will
neglect the navy, while the liberal
papers declare that the cabinet is
merely dissatisfied with the type of
battleship ordered by its predecessor,
and that during the coming session of
the riksdag proposals will be made
for the construction of several battle
ships. The F type provides for two
.turrets with four guns of % en-. while
the secondary battery consists OF
eight Is en-. guns. 1t is predicted that
the liberals will propose ship with
two 3O.5 en-. guns with lighter sec
ondary battery.
The official announcement that the
Olympic games in Stockholm will start
June 20, has not been favorably re-
ceived by the American athletes. It
is limited that three straight victories
of the American team may have had
something to do with the fixing of the
date so early in the season.
The collegiate years do not end until
after the, first week in June. The
American team then would have to be
selected and the trip to Stockholm
started at once in order to give the
athletes a chance to become acclimat-
ed and acquainted with the track and
field in the stadium. f..
The Northern society for the proven.
ton of cruelty to animals and the

OF prey. The aim of those societies
is to prevent the use of birds and
parts of birds for trimming hats.

sale IS DISCUSSED
DAVID N. WINToN SAYS WHITE
EARTH BUYERS, "DiDN'T
CUT HEADS OFF."
GIVES POSITIVE OPINION
Testifies That He Was Told Agree.
ment Had Been Reached by Some.
Other Witnesses at
Hearing.

Minneapolis, Minn.-David N. Win
ter, wealthy lumberman of Mime
apolis, gave it as his opinion at the
White Earth reservation hearing that
a few buyers of timber at the Crooks
ton sale in November, 1900, got to-
gether and didn't cut each others
heads off,"
This opinion was the most startling
development of the days session and
marked an advance in the quality of
the evidence which is being presented
to prove combination at the sale for
the purpose of exclusive bidding oppor-
tunities. Mr.. Winton was the first wit
ness to express positive opinion in
favor of the theory of the representa-
tives of the department of justice that
there was such a combination. He tes-
titled also that another had told him
that there was an agreement on the
part of some of the buyers not to 'scut
each others throats." He could, how
ever, neither recall the name of his in
formant nor suggest the names of
those who entered into the under
standing.
Another witness, Luther Davies,
merchant of Oshkosh, Wis.,, testified
that while the sale was on he bid in
some land and entered into an agree
ment with Hovey c. Clarke to sell it
to him at an advance of $1,000, with
out investing a cent himself. He as
serted that he and Clarke had no un-
derstanding as to bidding.
A second Minneapolis lumberman Of
prominence, Richard H. Chute, admit
ted in an open manner that the COM
pany of which he was the head had
evaded state law in it's purchase of
some land at the sale by bidding for
it, through him, in his name. He de-
MED knowledge of any combination
among bidders.
A spirited show of feeling marked
the hearing and created considerable
diversion. The persons responsible
were John J. Lynch. a witness, and
Cue Beaulieu. The latter's attempt to
interrogate Lynch met with fiat re-
fusal which required the diplomacy Of
