THE PASSION PLAY

Tomorrow night IN the Presby-
terrain church this play will be pre-
sented in choice stereopticen slides
maue in Germany from the origi-
nal negatives and selected by Mr.
Greenfield while at Oberammergau
in 1910, the last production of
this historic masterpiece.
The Passion Play il q Roman
Catholic religious service given
every ten years by the simple peas
ants of Oberammegau, a quaint
little Ravarium village, nesting in
the foothills of the Austrian Alps.
About thiee centuries ago a plague
visited this vicinity. Many died
and it seemed as though the entire
village would be swept away. In
the hour of their extremity, these
villagers, deVout and pious, made
a vow that if God would stay the
plague they would, every ten years,
portray the passion of Christ be-
fore men in drama. The plague
was stayed and this they have done
ever since.
The actors grow into the Passion
Play and are trained from child
hood for the parts they are to
take. Except the blood and the
garments the entire makeup of
the actors is Just as nature pro.
vides. Anton Lang looks as much
like Christ in the potters shop as
on the stage, except his costume.
1t is interesting to note that the
700 sets of moving pictures that
in America have been represented
as actual photographs of the Pass
ion Play were made in Paris in
1907 by a photographer who set
his own stage and lived his own
actors.
So realistic is this play that men
and women fairly shudder as the
blood flows from the wound in the
piercing of the side of Christ. Great
copious tears run down the cheeks
of men who never before have
wept. Many are the sobs that are
heard and the tears that are shed.
1t MAJ not be u privilege to
witness this play six thousand miles
away but the next thing to it is
to see the genuine and authentic
pictures described by one who has
seen it. The text that is used is a
translation by W. L. Stead, who
went down in the Titanic.
This service will begin promptly
at 1880 tomorrow night. Mrs
Schuylerman will sing the Holy
City" illustrated with the stereop-
ticon. Mr. Kellogg will have charge
of the music.

PLAY WALKER SATURDAY

There will be only n more High
school game played in Bemidji this
year and that probably with Grand
Rapids or Walker in about three
weeks. Next Saturday the team will
go to Walker and the following Satur-
day to Blackjack where they will
play a return game with the Black
duck team. One week from that date
they will play Grand Rapids, but it
has not been decided in which city
the game will be played. The High
school team is an exceptionally fast
one this year. The team is using the
Eagle suits and make-a good appear
ance on the field. The city team will
probably ask permission of the Eagles
for their suits after the High school
team disbands. The city team will
not be prepared to meet outside teams
for several weeks and there will be
but little interest along baseball lines
for Bemidji before the middle of June.

ELLIOTT LIKES BEMIDJ|
Says Persons Living Here Get More
Out Of Life Than Those Living
in The Larger Cities. 49,
WAS HERE AN HOUR YESTERDAY

="I believe people get the most out
Of life when they live in a city the
size ofsBemidji. They get better air,
and food, cheaper heat and enjoy
many little Injuries that are denied
those who live in the cities. They
also enjoy the cities on their
visits than do those who live there
all the time -
That is the opinion of Howard
Elliott, president of the Northern
Pacific railway, who was in Bemidji
for an hour yesterday afternoon.
President Elliott was making an in
spection tour of the Minnesota and
International with w. H. Gemme1, the
general manager. of the road.
President Elliott came in on a
special train consisting of a day coach
his private a yellowstone" and
MI. Gemmel's private car. The train
arrived at 1880 and left at $40. He
was met at the train by three autos
and taken to the Schroeder farm for
a few minutes.
With Mr.. Gemmel were G.. H. War
ner and Henry Mills, officials of the
M. & l. Mr.. Elliott and Mr. Gemmel
invited several Bemidji men to ac-
company them to Brainerd but none
were able to make the trip.

Only Those Eligible Can Acquire and
Hold Land the Same as People
of the United States
EXPECT PRESIDENTS APPROVAL
Leaders Believe Wilson Will Find
Measure Confer
ence Behind Closed Doors.

Sacramento, April 30.-The posi-
bility of an am1cable adjustment of
the alien land controversy by means
of a new bill drawn in strict conform
ity with the treaty between Japan
and the United States, was confront
ed last night at the third secret con-
ference Of Secretary Bryan with. Gov
ernor Johnson and the California leg
islators.
Attorney General Webb drafted a
new measure at the suggestion of the
governor and a copy was placed i'm
mediately in the hands of Bryan. The
term "ineligible to citizenship"
which was declared by Bryan to be
odious to the Japanese, was not in
cluded and the Progressive Republic
an leaders are confident they have
arrived at a solution of the problem
that will receive the endorsement of
President Wilson.
:. The principal features of the bill
are:
l.. All aliens eligible to citizen
ship may acquire. and hold land In
the same manner=as citizens OF the
United States - =
@: All other aliens may acquire
and hold land in "the manner and to
the extent and for the purposes pre-
scribed by any treaty now existing
between the government of the United
States and the nation or country of
which such alien citizens are sub
ject."r
8. Corporations composed of
aliens other than those eligible to
citizenship may acquire and hold land
only according to the terms of exist
ing treaties.
4. The present holdings Of aliens
are protected.
S. The state specifically reserves
it's sovereign right to enact any and
all laws relating to the acquisition or
holding of real property by aliens.
It was announced when the confer
ence began that the majority leaders
in the senate had decided to intro
duce an act drawn by Attorney Cen
eral Webb as a substitute for the
Birdsall- Thompson bill before mid
night in order that final action on
the measure might be taken in the
upper house on Thursday If desired.
The conference was behind closed
doors.

IMPROVEMENTS ON COURTHOUSE

Goodman and Loitved have COM
menced work on a cement driveway
which will cut through the court
house grounds close up to the build
ing on the side facing Minnesota ave-

wood haulers from cutting up the
lawn with their wagons and will be
a big convenience to the drivers as
they can stop within a few feet OF the
court house door. Other Improvements
are also being made and a large bar
rel of paint and other decorating
material was taken to the court
house yesterday. blackjack painters
were awarded the contract Of paint

FALSE ALARM TURNED IN

The fire department responded
this morning, to an alarm sent in by
someone who noticed smoke in the
vicinity of a manure pile at the rear
of the house owned by w. G. Schroed-
er on the corner of Mississippi ave-
and Fourth street. The hose was
laid and the ground around the
barn was given a good drenching but
it was found that the smoke did not
come from the barn but from a bon
fire in an adjoining lot.

LABOR AND COAL PROFITS

The anthracite coal barons protested most vigorously last May against an advance in the wages of their employees and declared that it would result in bankrupting the industry A report has just been made by the Department of Com lnerce and Labor which shows that the mine operators have been doing pretty well, thank you, in spite of the wage in crease.
 The departments report shows that while the coal companies increased the wages of their employees to the ex- tent of S4,000,000 year by tEe strike agreement of last May, they also increased the price of anthracite to consum- CTS to the extent of SI3,450,- eco. In other works. they took advantage of an enforced concession to their workmen to pluck the helpless public. Every householder knows tha. his coal has cost him more pc" ton during the past winter and the gloom with which h. surveys the decreasing stock ill lis coal bin will not lessened Ky the reflection for the bene- fiji of wealthy and grasping co" porations.

SAND LAND GOOD
Farmers Corn Crops in 1t
Stand Dry Weather Well.
One Farmer Makes Big Money
by Flowing Late.

Sylvia, Kan, Jan. st does not take
an expert to see that the sandy land is
coming into it's own. Only a few years
back this land was considered of little
value as a farming proposition Peo-
pie were reluctant to settle upon it
and did so only after all the heavier
soil had been taken up. They were
almost afraid to bury their dead in the
sandy soil for fear it would blow away.
However, when experience with sandy
soil increased and men learned how to
handle it, sentiment changed. Farmers
living on hard land near here who can
sell, are buying the sandy land.
Even after it was proved that the
sandy soil is best for wheat, many still
thought ii was not good corn land.
But it has been demonstrated that corn
in sandy soil, will stand more drouth,
and is easier worked than that on hard
land Corn will also stay green longer
and in most cases this year, has pro-
duced more to the acre than hard land
corn In case of a long wet spell in
the spring, which frequently browns
out the corn, the sandy fields come
through in the best shape.
Success With Corn.
NJ. E. Human, of this city, has sew
eral sections of land. He raised, this
season, over 5000 bushels of wheat and
about the same number of bushels of
corn. For several years he mas made
corn a speciality. He believes in corn
as a money maker.
Regardless of dry weather Human
ploughs his corn as long as he can get
a team through without breaking it
down. He has paid as high as five
dollars day for teams to pillow corn
through harvest and feels it paid him.
He raises corn, and good corn, when
many of his neighbors have failed, who
stopped blowing because it was too dry.
He never stops for drouth. He keeps
the dirt stirring and never fails when
he does it.
While corn was high he sold it, but
this year he is feeding several car
loads of spring calves
