their desire to show to the world
what California and San Francisco
can accomplish in the face of such a
calamity in that short length of time.
To realize this the worlds greatest
sculptors and architects have been
secured, with Carl Bitter at the head
of the former. Jules Guerin has
charge of the color plan and John c.
MacLaren, who constructed the fam
GUS Golden Gate Park, has charge of
floral decorations. u *.
One of the great features Of the
exposition will be the National Boy
City, with a population oft 5000
boys. More than $1,000, 900 is to be
spent on this city. Two great COM
mercial organizations, which spend
vast sums in developing the efficiency
of boys throughout the United States
are behind the National Boy City
project.

University Authorities Write to Ask
if Bemidji Wants One Of the
Weeks" This Year.
MATTER IS IN DYER's HANDS

Prof. Samuel Quigley, head of the
extension division of the University,
has written asking if Bemidji wishes
to have onelot the university Weeks
this year.Ss5He says that the univer-
sity is offering larger and better
program than last year and that the
demand for dates is so strong that
Bemidji cannot be placed on the list
unless he is advised at once. The
matter has been turned over to Pro-
fessor Dyer.
University week last year was
some something of an experiment
both as far as 5Bemidji is concerned
and also the university. The extern
sion division says that it has profted
by its experiences and is planning to
give instruction and entertainment
this year on much larger scale
than before. Several university or
CARNATIONS have decided to make the
tours so that the entertainment fea-
ture of the week has been increased.
Professor Dyer is taking the mat
ter up today and is looking for ex-
pressions of opinion as to whether or
not the University should be asked to
come here again. In recent letter,
Professor Quigley stated that if Be-
midi asked for the week he was sure
it would please President Vincent and
this has been taken to mean that the
president was hardly satisfied with
the results here last week.
Professor Quigley telegraphed this
morning that if Bemidji wishes to
have the week this year, he must be
notified at once. --.. @-.

VALUABLE DOGS ARE POISONED
Strychnine Covered Meat Found By
Animals Along Lake Shore.

After five dogs were found dead
and several more reported dying, a
search was made in the vicinity of
Doud and Dewey avenue to find the
cause, with the result that a large
quantity of meat was found which
was covered with strychnine.
AS far as can be learned at present
there are about twelve dogs which
have died from the effects Of the
poison but precautions have been TAX
en- by dog owners to prevent any more
from dying in the same manner.
Among the most valuable dogs lost
were those owned by w. A. Currie, ].
o. Harris and Jas Mooney. Mr.. Cur
RE lost two dogs which he valued at
large amount, one of which was a
small puppy and which was kept in
side of an inclosed fence but the meat
had been thrown in to him. Mr.. Har-
ris lost Russian terrier which he
claims could not have been purchased
for $500. Jas. Mooney lost valuable
shepherd dog which he valued at
5000.
Many more dogs have been report
ed dead but they were not considered
as valuable as the dogs named. Those
who have lost dogs appear to be anx-
ious to have the guilty party, who
ever it might be arrested and to war
rant a diligent search will offer re-
wards which will be paid for inform
alton that will lead to arrests.
Chief Lane has been notified and
has promised to help find the culprit.
Little trouble is expected to be exper-
fenced in tracing the party as the
poison was probably purchased at a
local drug store.

Sacramento, CAL, April 29.-Cali-
fornia, in the fullness of her right as
a state, may enact a rigid land law
barring Orientals from land owner
ship, but such an action would be
against the earnest wish of the ma
tional administration. s~-1
This is the substance Of message
William Jennings Bryan, secretary of
state, personal representative of Pres
ident Wilson, delivered to a secret
conference, attended only by Govern
or Johnson, Lieutenant Governor
Wallace and 120 legislators.
Bryan arrived here at six Monday
morning. Plans were made for an
immediate hearing and shortly after
eleven o'clock the first session of the
conference began.
Advice in the presidents name was
all that Bryan offered, and the para
mount question is whether such ad-
vice will overcome the previously an
nounced determination of the pro-
gressive Republican majority to enact
an anti-alien land law along the lines
already agreed upon.
Bryan reafarmed the states right
to act in any manner it saw fit, but
suggested several alternatives to the
passage of the bill restricting aliens
ineligible to citizenship" basing the
reasons on the broad foundation of
public policy. Briefly, the alternatives
in order suggested, follow:
1. Delay immediate action and al
low the state department to try to
accomplish the ends desired by means
of a new treaty with Japan; two, de-
lay action and appoint commission
to investigate the subject of alien
land ownership and act in conjunc-
ton with the president in securing
relief; three, enact laws similar to
the statute in Illinois, which permits
an alien to hold land for a period not
exceeding six years, and applies alike
to all aliens; four, enact laws similar
to the federal statute governing land
ownership in the District of ,Colum-
bia, which is a general law applying
to all aliens.
OF these, according to the leaders
Of the legislature, the last two are
out of the question.
The conference with Bryan served
to show the breadth Of the sentiment
in favor Of an alien land law that will
be effective in checking the japanese
and Chinese immigration.

New Construction Record,

the works of the exposition, declared
today that it is the aim of those in
charge of the affair to set a new rec
ord in exposition construction. AT
previous American expositions," said
Mr.. Connick, "it has been the rule
that the exposition has been postpon-
ed year from the original date set
for the formal opening, or visitors
have found construction and installa-
ton incomplete with an army of
workmen busy. This naturally de-
tracts from the beauty of what should
be finished exposition. All build
1ngs here will be fully completed
eight months before the opening date
and all the exhibits will have been
installed. The grounds will have
been terraced and planted with shrub
berry and trees when the formal
opening takes place. Grading, lev
cling and excavating and the install
lation Of the sewer and water supply
systems already have been completed,
and every detail of the exposition
will have been perfected at least two
months before the opening on Satur-
day, February, 20, 1915"
More than 100000 cubic yards of
earth have been filled in on the center
portion of the site, which occupies
100 acres, and which will be devoted
to the fourteen main exhibition pal
aces. Twenty-eight of the world pow
ers have thus early signified their in
tention to participate and many 9TH
ers are preparing to take part on an
elaborate scale. Of the thirty-three
states of the Union that have prom
ised to participate, twenty-six have
selected the sites for their pavilions.
New York has made preliminary
appropriation of 100000 for the
New York state building. California
will spend $1,O0O,0OO on her state
building. Other appropriations from
different states which have selected
their sites vary from $250,0O0 to half
a million dollars.
Two Reasons for Exposition.
The exposition officials say there
are two great reasons why California
is making great effort to "break all
records of all expositions.'" The first
is that California and San Francisco
especially realizes the Titanic
achievement which the occasion is to
celebrate. and they wish to make the
celebration in keeping with the build
ing of the Panama canal. The Sec
ond great reason why Californians
are so anxious to show the nation
and the world what Californians can
accomplish, say the officials, is the
memory Of desolation which reigned
in the city Of San Francisco following
the earthquake seven years ago and

one. Mrs. w. S. Wilson, as president,
called the meeting to order promptly
at 8 o'clock. In the absence OF the
club secretary, Mrs. L. l.. Mclnnis
was appointed secretary pro TEN. The
roll call proved novel feature, for
Mrs. McInnis called the ladies' by
their maiden names, creating quit a
stir OF interest. 1t was embarrassing
to some OF us. for. long ago, in the
dim, distant years, that first name
was packed lovingly away, with the
bridal veil and orange blossoms, and
now the dust OF quarter of a centu-
~ has fallen upon II. No wonder
then, the voice seemed as spirit
calling as we realized ''who was Who

It took many taps from the gavel to
restore order when the roll call was
ended, for the mention of that name"
made memories crowd into the brain
of each club member, and a spirited
conversation was inevitable--a con.
versation that in no way led up to dis.
cussion of Shakespeare's Richard ILL.,,
which was the assigned lesson for the
hour.
The singing of America in chorus by
the Club, with Mrs. r. s. Webb at
the piano, opened the program. This
was followed by two excellent papers

Mrs. Taylor, and 1.-The Structure oil
