COUNCIL GRANTS
Two new LICENSES
Aldermen, Over Protest Of Mayor.
Vote to Allow Hazen to Operate
Saloon on Third Street.
NO OBJECTION MADE 70 OTHERS
Meeting Grows Exciting and One Off
Ger Dares Another to See Him
Later Threats Forgotten.
NO OBJECTION MADE TO OTHERS

If Al Hazen had known how much
excitement and arguing his applica-
ton for a liquor license was going
to cause among the members of the
city council. 1t is doubtful whether
he would have made the request, or
at least he would not have been pres
ent at the meeting last evening.
No objection was made to the
granting of the License to Mr.. Hazen
as far as he himself was concerned,
but for the cutting down Of saloons,
and no sooner had George Stein, an
nounced the reading of the Hazen ap-
.plication than William McQuaig, the
mayor, jumped to his feet and said:
Gentlemen, there is no argument
in favor of this license. i have re-
voked two licenses in the city dur
ing my term of Office, and neither
the Fitger or Minneapolis Brewing
companies have requested renewal.
/ have nothing against the Duluth
Brewing company. Nor have any
feeling against AL. Hazen. 1 would
just as soon allow him a license as
any one else.
s. But, gentlemen, it is time you
were doing something for Bemidji.
When you increased the license you
did so with the Intention of gradually
lowering the number of saloons. Are
you doing it? I hope you will re-
fuse to grant the application. a.
Excitement Follows.
Then followed scene which has
seldom taken place in the Be
midi council chamber. Several
of the aldermen asked that no
favorites be played, which in their
opinion was being done. The argu-
ment gradually grew more interest
ing and concluded in one member
Of the council daring another to meet
him later. When the vote was at
last reached, after the cry of poll,
the vote had been pftssn repeated the
result was in doubt until Alderman-at
Large Murphy cast the last and de-
Gliding ballot. Moberg was absent
and the roll call resulted in Bailey,
Klfen, Bisiar, Crippen and Murphy
voting in favor of granting it, and
Smart, Miller and Hannah against
it. =.
Trouble Was Soon Forgotten.
The trouble was soon forgotten
and the aldermen were as chummy
as before.
Four renewals of license were
granted, these being r. s. Lycan,
Jack Dalton, Marion Hazen and M.
Sullivan.
The transfer of license from Joe
Harrington to J. w. Oppie was al
lowed,
A license was granted to Carl j.
Anderson to operate saloon in the
Gunsalus building. Gunsalus q was
not allowed a renewal. ~..s.s 81.
It was voted that an arch be pro-
vided at the Ongstad garage.
The septic matter was again
brought UP and it was decided to call
for bids for It's cleaning.

erns the taking of food fish, they will
not be permitted to throw thousands
of bluefish into the sea after they
have died on the boat. just because
the fish trust orders them to. Repre-
sentative Taylor must have some au-
thentic knowledge of such being done
or he would not have made the state
ment credited to him in the press of
the country and he is not the only
one that knows it.
During a big run of bluefish on our
coast two years ago, one fishing
smack captain was ordered to sea
with his catch of $500 bluefish which
he threw overheard as the market
men of New York, working under
orders from the fish trust, would not
permit them to be taken ashore for
fear that the glut in the market
would force the price of fish down.
When the fish began to drift onto the
beach, this paper recorded the fact
and on investigation learned of the
throwing of them overheard and then
quoted one of the leading middlemen
of Fulton Market as saying that If

fish at ten cents a pound they would
not make a penny more than If they
only handled five hundred pounds at

SHOOTS RELATIVES
OVER LOVE AFT AIR
Newark Employee Fatally In
jures Aunt, Who Urged
Marriage.

JERSEY CITY, Dec. 30.-Refusing
TO marry a girl in Italy whom he hao
never seen and because he had ar
American sweetheart, Antonio Pietro.
cullo, of 1874 Boyd avenue, entered
into an alteration with his aged
aunt and uncle, Deodoro and Marie
Camille, of the same address, today
shooting them both. The surgeons
at the City Hospital say that the
woman will die.
The trouble, according to Antonio,
started four months ago. His aged
relatives urged him TO become be-
trothed to the Italian girl who is his
cousin. Loath to plight his troth
with a stranger, Antonio demurred
and his uncle forbade him the house
unless he consented.
However, Pietrocullo continued at
his work in a Newark upholstery es-
tablishment and the talk of the pro-
posed engagement laxed until last
night when 1t was revived and An
tonic became angered.
Pietrocullo this morning went to
pawn shop and bought revolver.
He then went back to his uncle's
home and walked through the little
shoe shop where the old man was at
work.
The aunt was in the kitchen pre-
pairing dinner, and as she turned to
greet him, Antonio fired two shots at
her. One went through her left
breast and the other grazed her fore
head.
The uncle started from his low
bench, but when he reached a bed
room, separating the shop from the
kitchen, he was felled by three more
shots, none of which reached a vital
spot The old man, although more
than sixty years of age. gave battle
to the youth, who is but twenty-one,
and in the scuffle Pietrocullo shot
himself in the left arm.
Pietrocullo fled from the house, but
the sound of shots and the crash of
breaking glass aroused the neighbor-
hood and Mounted Policeman Maui
rice O'Connor gave chase to the fu-
gitive. capturing him in a vacant lot
near Mallory avenue.

Jury IN SCHMIDT
MURDER CASE IN
SANITY DEADLOCK
Mistrial Feared When Juror
Falls Ill, but He Responds
to Treatment.

NEW YORK, Dec. So.-The jury in
the case of Hans Schmidt, the priest
who killed Anna Aumuller. after hav-
ing been out since 1:26 D. m. yester-
day, had failed to reaen an agree
inert up to the time of going to press.
1t was reported that the jurors were
hopelessly deadlocked on the ques-
tion of the prisoners sanity.
Judge Foster had the jury brought
into court about noon, in response to
a request from the foreman. One of
the members was sick and wanted a
doctor. For a time it looked as If
this might cause a mistrial. but the
sick man quickly responded to treat
ment, and the jurors went back to
their room, after Judge Foster had
urged them to agree. The foreman
said the question which caused the
difference among them was one of
veraeity regarding statements as to
the mental condition of the defend
ant.

smaller amount they did not need
much ice and could get along with
less help, thus adding to their profits.
This same representative of the fish
trust also volunteered the informa-
ton that fish would never be cheap
again and that all the New Jer-
sey State Legislature Investigations
would not change the conditions at
all. When informed that the fish of
New Jersey had been declared the
property of the people of the State
by the courts, he said that as long
as New York was New York it would
be the headquarters of the market
fish dealers. and once the fish crossed
the river the people of New Jersey
could not say what should be done
with it, and If they did not want to
purchase it at the prices quoted. they
could do without it, as the net owners
along the New Jersey coast We're
compelled to send them all of their
catch or none at all.
That is the weapon that has been
used when the New Jersey pound-net
fishermen show grain of independ-
ence. They are warned that, by deal
ing direct with the consumer or retail
dealer of this State, they will be boy

Miss Mcmahon Tells Convention
Continual Changing Is
Harmful.

ATLANTIC CITY, Dec. 3O.-De-
Tending the teachers tenure of office
in an address today before the con-
yention of the State TEACHERS Asso-
citation. now being held here, Miss Ida
MacMahon, of Trenton, attacked the
methods of administration of the
boards of education. The good work
being done by the teachers, she de-
clared, is being constantly hampered
and interfered with.
The boards of education, said Miss
MacMahon, are doing great harm to
education by their continual shifting
of teachers. No business house or
corporation ever tried to rid itself of
those employees who had served long
enough and well enough to deserve an
increase in salary. Never in any bust
ness concern was the employe ever
discharged SO that the house might
avoid paying him greater salary of

TRENTON, Dec. 3O.-The United
States Circuit Court today denied a
motion to non-suit the case of the
Buckeye Powder Company, which is
suing the &c. |. Dupont De Nemours
Powder Company for s5,000,000. The
court ruled there was evidence suf-
ficient to allow the case to go to the
jury.
The motion for the non-suit was
made upon the general grounds that
the Buckeye Company failed to estab-
lisb a case emitting it to recover
damages.
The claims of the Buckeye Company
are based upon the allegation that
the Dupont Company forced it out of
business by a long continued course of
prosecution and Illegal restraint of
trade, The suit was brought under
the Sherman antitrust law, in ac-
cordance with the provisions of which
the Buckeye Company seeks to re-
cover treble the actual damages al
