DID not LIVE in NYMORE
Belief That Bandit Slain At scribner
Was Potter Strengthened Lived
Near Swamp
NOT A LARGE MAN-WAS BALD

That the man believed to have been
a bandit connected with the Thief
River Falls depot robbery some time
ago, and whose dead body was found
near Scribner with bullet wound in
his head, is no other than Potter, a
former Bemidji man with police
record, is the general belief of men Of
this city who were ACQUAINTED with
the victim:
Those who knew Potter, including
Inspector sherm BaileySWho at the
time of Potter's residence here was
chief of police are confident that the
dead man was noNother than he.
In speaking ofthe statement made
by Deputy Sheriff James d. Cahill Mr.
Bailey said this morning.
while in his own belief Cahill
may think that the murdered man is
not Potter, he is mistaken when he
says that he weighted 1875 pounds and
that he was not partly bald. The fact
of the matter is, and / feel that J
knew the man as well as any man un-
der the same circumstances could,
that Potter wasianot a large man that
he was partly 15ald. That the man is
Potter there can be no doubt
According to8Mr. Bailey, Potter
never lived in Nymore but near the
swamp north af the electric light
plant.
While the Pioneer has endeavored
to print all the# news relative to the
man found murdered at Scribner, it
promises to in the future allow the
unfortunate fellow to remain undis-
turbed on his slab in the laboratory
of the state university

Head Of Steel Corporation Declares
U. S. Enjoys Only Part Of Pros.
perity Deserved by it.

Chicago, Oct 25.-Judge Elbert H.
Gary, chairman of the United States
Steel corporation, in an address at
the semi-annual meeting of the Ameri.
can Iron and Steel Institute, declared
that the stability of business has been
'interfered with and the confidence OF
capital shaken by unreasonable and
uncalled for agitation and attack"
In spite of the country's wealth and
resources foreign capitalists wonder
why we are not more continuously
prosperous, he said.
There are exceptional cases." de.
clared Judge Gary, "in which mis-.
management has caused d1strust OF
dissatisfaction on the part of foreign
and domestic capitalists; but this il
not the principal reason for hesitancy
at the present time on the part OF
these capitalists in making invest.
ments in our securities.
"They wonder why 1t is that with
our great and growing wealth and re-,
sources and our superior advantages
We are not more continuously prosper
Gus; why We are not more stable in
prices and values and in general con.
d1tlons; why there is ever any dispo-
sltlon on the part of any one to inter
fere with the normal and natural prog
ress In the development of our coun-
try and it's industries.
Asking Same Question.
Every one who travels extensively
abroad is confronted with these in
quiries by foreigners friendly to and in
terested in our commercial and finan-
c1al conditions and success; and we
assembled in this room are asking
ourselves the same question.
II venture the assertion that it Is
largely because of much unnecessary
agitation and i'll considered criticism
by those who have not the nations
best interests at heart.
There is too much demagogism,
too much mud singing. The man out
Of office criticises the one in Office and
the one In Office in turn seeks to ad.
vance his own interests regardless of
the effect upon all others: --
"In may. public speeches and, in
magazine articles the author is intlu-
enced by motives of selishness or Gu
pidity. Appeals are made for the pur-
pose OF creating a feeling of dissatis.
faction and unrest when this is I'M
necessary and unjustitied.
1T Is not uncommon in public dis
cussion to treat success as an offense;
to consider the possession of wealth,
however honestly acquired, as wrong.
Legislation calculated to create classes
is urged persistently; also laws to i'm.

titled TO have, and turn it over to an
other; to prevent or to lessen the sue

to the port authorities and the for.

He was told that the Moro Castle
was detained because members OF

AS the Moro Castle was about to
sail from the harbor the Mexican
gunboat Zaragossa took up position
alongside her and refused to allow
the pilot to board her. Captain Huff
was told that he could not sail at
that time.
None OF the passengers aboard the
Moro Castle was allowed to leave
the vessel, nor were those on shore
allowed to board her. She was under
surveillance all night.
When it was learned that the run
away Legislators were aboard the boat

Judge of Vera Cruz to issue an order
forbidding the Moro Castle to sail
