| J. J. Opsahl returned from Mime
apolis Sunday. Mr.. opsahl together
with a delegation of seven men from
Akeley, Minnesota, have spent sew
eral days i'm Minneapolis the past
week, making arrangements to get a
train service into the state park. He
| believes that the service will begin in
the near future and that the line will
in time build to Warroad. "They
plan to put in 200 tents in the state
park and vicinity to take care of the
influx of pleasure seekers this sum-

The present road which runs from
Akeley to within one and one half
miles of the Itasca Park lodge is own
ed by the Great Northern railroad,
and the Red River Lumber company.
ut will be necessary to organize a
separate company" said Mr.. Opsahl,

about thirty-two miles. Efforts are
being made in the city of Akeley to

: Reports have reached here that the
500 line is planning to construct a
road from the Guyana range north
tward Pine River where it is believed
it will cross the M. & l. and go west
either to Park Rapids or Akeley and
thence north toward the Canadian
boundary. Surveyors are actively en-
gagged at this work at the present

Interviews with farmers living in
the northwestern part of this county
indicate that they prefer railroad
running north and south through
their section to one running east and
west, and it is believed that should
either the 500 or the Great Northern
or any other road decide to build a
line through the Indian reservation
to Warroad, they would receive the
hearty cooperation of the settlers in
that community. $

WOOD, ATTEAUX AND COLLINS UP
These Three Were Indicted Last
August By Special Grand
"" jury.
WOOD IS A MULTI-MLLI0NA1RE
Is President of The American Wooden
Company and Director of
Other Companies.

Boston, May 19:-Charged with
conspiracy to plant dynamite in an
attempt to discredit the Lawrence
textile strikers in 1912, William
Wood, multi-millionaire, president OF
the American Wooden Company and
alleged to have been a powerful fac
tor in the writing of the Payne-Ald-
rich tariffs schedule X, today was
placed on trial in the Suffolk superior
court.
Facing Judge Crosby with Wood
were Frederick E. Atteaux, a Boston
manufacturer of textile mill accessor-
les, and Dennis Collins, Cambridge
dog fancier. The three men were in
dicted last August by a special grand
jury called to investigate the matter.
Before the trial opened today great
crowds filled the courthouse. District
Attorney Joseph G. Pelletier and his
assistant, A. C. Weber appeared for
the government. Attorneys Samuel
l.. Powers, Daniel H. Coakley and
Henry r. Hurlburt appeared for the
defendants. Since his Indictment
Wood has been at liberty on $4,000
cash bail. The same bail was set for
the other two defendants.
= Breen, who was found guilty OF
planting the dynamite on May Is,
was expected to be chief witness for
the prosecution. He willingly testi-
fed before the grand jury which in
dicted Wood, Atteaux and Collins.
Earnest w. Pitman, an East Milton
quarryman, and prominent in other
business enterprises, was to have
been another government witness. He
committed suicide, however, on Aug
ust 9th, the day before he was to
have testified before the grand jury.
Pelletier is understood to have talked
Informally with Pitman about twelve
hours before the latter killed himself
and at that time is said to have got
ten enough information to compel
others to testify at the grand jury in
vestigation.
It was during the critical time in
the historic Lawrence strike that
dynamite was found" by the Law
renee police shortly after Joseph Et-
ter's arrest late in. January. The cry
was Immediately raised that the tex
tile strikers had brought it in to dyu-
amite the mills and the courthouse.

from School Committeeman Breen, in
the cobbler shop of Urbano di Prato,
in the home Of Joseph Assaf and in
some bushes near the Immaculate
Conception cemetery. It was only aft
err a diagram had been drawn by
Breen that the explosive was "found"

trips by detectives to "find" more OF

SEN. GOFF OPPOSES KERN
Virginia Statesman Not in Favor Of
Investigating West Virginia
Coal Fields.
PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW FACTS
By Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner.

By Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner.
Washington, May 1.-THE senate
is having hard time trying to pre-
vent the passage of Senator Kern
resolution for an investigation of the
West Virginia coal fields
When West Virginia broke the
deadlock by electing Federal Judge
Nathan Golf to the United States
senate last winter, the action was &C
claimed by the standpat press of
America as an example worthy to be
followed by other states.
But what does Senator Golf do in
his first speech-a speech in opposi-
ton to Senator Kerns resolution?
His speech, masterpiece of logic
and a gem of rhetoric, is every word
a legal bubble. 1t was just the sort
of speech and the sort of legal logic
that is creating among the people a
mighty wrath against courts and
lawyers.
For years tales of horrors have
drifted out of the West Virginia coal
fields; stories of peonage, of outraged
women, of murdered men, terrorism
suppression of news and free speech
The concrete result can be read in
any wage report. West Virginia coal
wages are lower than in any other
eastern mining district.
The people want to know, and they
have the right to know, what has
been going on in West Virginia. And
in opposing this demand, Senator
Golf bubbles that the government
has not Investigated in other states
where martial law has been declared
why create a precedent in West
Virginia?
The people are not interested in
the legal technicalities of the case
They want the facts. L hope the new
senate is responsive enough to public
opinion to vote for this resolution anG
let the light in on West Virginia.

SUGAR TARIFF AS AN EXAMPLE
Payne-Aldrich Law Includes 400
Items That Are Now
Protected.
MEASURE TO INCLUDE WEALTH
Working Man with Family Now Pays
Bigger Per Cent Than Million
aire Bachelor.

Washington, May ia concrete
example of the often made statement
that under our present system Of rails
ing revenue to meet the expenses OF
the general government, the poor
man with family is actually con-
tributing more towards the maintain
ance Of the government than the
millionaire bachelor, was given to the
House of Representatives by Con-
gresham Clyde H. Tavenner of Illi-
nois.
"The pending income tax measure"
declared Tavenner, will mean that
for the first time since our govern
ment has stood, wealth will be re-
CURED to bear fair proportion of
the burden of national taxation. I'm
der the present system the National
Government raises the money neces
sary to run the government by tax
ing, by means of tariff and internal
revenue taxes, the things that the
people eat, wear and use. Wealth
alone goes untared.
"In order to make it perfectly plain
how it happens that man with
large family working on the section
OF railroad is actually paying more
toward running the national govern
ment than millionaire bachelor
who is too proud to marry and raise
children, I will cite one illustration
out Of multitude which could be
given.
"The Payne-Aldrich tariff tax on
sugar is approximately 2 cents a
pound. Every time the American
housewife buys pound of sugar that
is in reality worth but four cents she
pays six cents for it, not knowing
that the sugar is worth but four
cents and that she is paying two
cents as tax to the National govern
ment.
"To show, finally, that under the
present fiscal system the millionaire
bachelor does not contribute as much
toward maintaining the national
government as the average working
man with family it is necessary but
to point out that the millionaire does
not eat as much sugar as the entire
family of the workingman and, as
the tax is wholly on consumption, it
is obvious that the workingman with
family buys more pounds of sugar
in a year, contributing his two-cent
sugar tax to the government a great
er number of times than the Million
aire, and thus actually paying a
larger tax than the millionaire.
"This illustration need not be con-
fined to the purchase of sugar, for it
applies with equal aptness to any
protected article, and there are 4,10O
items in the Payne-Aldrich law
