TELL HoLD.Up STORY
Cook at Smith Restaurant Claims He
Was Held Up Wednesday Morning
and Register Robbed.
LOST WATCH VALUED AT $40

Police officers were notified yes.
terday by Claude Warren of a holdup
which he claims took place in the
Smith restaurant between four and
five o'clock yesterday morning. Ac-
cording to his story he was employed
as cook and waiter in the restaur-
ant nights and was all alone when
two men entered the restaurant and
ordered a cup of coffee He immedi-
ately went into the kitchen to &c:
the coffee and upon his return was
ordered to throw up his hands at
the point of revolver. He droppe d
the coffee and obeyed. In the mean
time the largest Of the two men
stepped behind the counter and emp
tied the cash register which contained
considerable cash, while the smaller
of the two searched his pockets and
relieved him of his watch which he
valued at $45 and four dollars and
sixty-tive cents in silver.
The two thieves then ordered him
to stand with his hands suspended
in the air for a period of ten min
utes. Warren watched the men who
crossed the street after leaving the
restaurant. Shortly after the hold
up the lady who cooks days entered
the restaurant and Warren claims
that he left the building after mott
flying the police. He Immediately
went to Mr.. Smiths rooms above the
Model bakery where he informed him
of the holdup. Mr.. Smith does not
appear to believe that holdup was
made and when interviewed this
morning stated that he had nothing
to give out and that some one got the
money was certain but who it was
is very hard to tell: -:
Claude Warren, the cook who
claims he was held up stated that he
was unable to work last night be-
cause of sickness and that Mr.. Smith
believing him afraid to return to the
restaurant had sworn out warrant.

CHARTER ELECTION
DATE CHANGED.
Mayor Mccuaig Decides That More
Time Is Needed And Tuesday

Special Meeting Of The Council To

Again the date of the special elec-

the charter has been changed. Will
liam .McCuaig, mayor, having found
that. the day announced yesterday for
the holding of the election came too
soon, and that Tuesday November rs.
would be the most appropriate date. !.
One of the reasons why. the cleo
ton has been postponed five days
is to give plenty of time in forming
the poll lists %-
The mayor this morning announced
that he will call special meeting
of the council for next Monday even

the election those who have not re-
gistered will have an opportunity ID
do so. - e, .=.-r1 .-s~s.s < 5sz
AS the day for the voting on the
charter draws near more and more
is it discussed, and the general senti-
ments at the present times appears
to be that the vote will be close.
While the charter as it now stanos
has many supporters it also has It's
opponents. One Of the chief objections
to the charter seems to be the fact
that no one is given juridiction over!
the welfare Of the city, as mayor.
Remember the election will be held
on Tuesday November 25,s and one
week before is registration day. e..

TAFT EUL0GIST
OF CLEVELAND
Former President Makes Address At
Princeton-Many Notables Were
Present At Dedication
FOREIGN EDUCATORS ATTEND
Present At Ceremonies In Connection
With Memorial To Former Demo-
cratic Occupant Of White House

Princetan, N. j.. Oct. 2S.-Tribute
to the memory Of the late President
Grover Cleveland, made by former
President Taft, marked the dedica
ton Of Princeton universities gradu
ate college and the Grover Cleveland
memorial tower. The exercises were
conducted in the presence of a dis.
tinguished company of learned men
from Europe and America.
Gifts amounting to $2,850,000 for
the erection and endowment of the
college enabled Princeton to realize
An idea conceived twenty years ago,
the housing Of graduate study in a
body.
The tower was presented to the
university by the Cleveland Monu-
ment association, which received gifts
tor the memorial fund from all over
the United States.
The exercises were held in the
quadrangle formed by the walls of the
graduate college, quarter of a mile
southeast of the main campus.
President Hibben of Princeton pre-.
sided and about him were former
President William H. Taft, who de-
livered the memorial address on
Grover Cleveland; representatives OF
practically all Of the universities and
colleges In the United States and
Canada; hundreds of alumni and
dslegates from English, German and
French universities.
The presentation to the university
of the Cleveland memorial tower was
made by Richard v. Lindabury, pres
ident Of the Cleveland Memorial as.
ISOLATION, who said the funds for the
memorial were contributed by men
Of all parties and in all walks and
conditions of life.
Former President Taft's estimate
Of Grover Cleveland, as expressed in
his grafton, was as follows:
"Mr. Cleveland was not great law
yer; he was not great economist;
but he was a great president and q
great man, and he was these because
Of the strong mind, clear intelligence
and wide knowledge of affairs. He
had the character, honesty, courage
and sense of public duty which en-
abled him to meet great and critical
issues without regard to personal
constituencies"

DISPUTE FOOT BALL CLAIM
Bemidji Coach Disagrees With Ar.
ticle Saying Championship Be-
longs To Polk County Team
CHALLENGED TO PLAY HERE

According to an article print
ed in the Crookston Times the
Fosston High school football
team claims the champion
ship of Northern Minnesota. The ar
ticle also states that the Bemidji
eleven was defeated by a decisive
score. One point in football game is
not considered decisive. When Foss-
ton defeated Bemidji on the Fosston
field the final score was six and
seven. The referee allowed the Foss-
ton goal kicker two chances to kick
goal and was the point which won
the game for them. The game was
played in heavy rain storm and
the Bemidji eleven was weakened by
the loss Of two strong men.
Coach Bestul of the Bemidji squad
has invited, challenged and dared the
Fosston eleven to come to Bemidji
for a game but for. some unknown
reason they have declined the invita-
ton. It has always been the custom
to play two games before the cham
pionship is declared and the Bemidj1
squad will claim that title Until
Fosston comes to this city and de-
feats them fair and square. The Foss-
ton defeat has been the only game
that the Bemidji gridiron warriors
have even met a close match in and
the members Of the squad declare
that a game with Fosston on a dry
field would be ''soft.'

PRESSSEE TROUBLE AHEAD
English Papers Believe There Is Ele-
ment Of Danger In Present
Mexican Situation
ALL NATIONS ARE NOT IN ACCORD

London, Oct. 23.-The London news.
papers just are awakening to the pos.
sibility of an embodiment between
the United States and Great Britain
ever the Mexican situation.
Their warnings heretofore all have
smanatsd from Washington and New
York correspondents, the views of the
British government, as made known
In tho United States through press re-
ports, not having been published
here. The Pail Mall Gazette
says:
There Is evidently q grave misun
Aerstanding between this country and
the United States in regard to the
Mexican crisis, which speedily should
bs removed. There are elements OF
danger In the situation which may
easily arouse strong feeling on both
sides Of the Atlantic"
1T cannot be denied that President
Wilson had some ground for com.
plant against British policy in Mex
ioo," tho Globe says in commenting
on tho Mexican situation. The news
paper considers that grave mistake
was made by the British foreign office
In its overhasty recognition of Pro.
visional President Huerta, which was
in such marked contrast with it's dig
nined delay in recognizing King Pc.
ter of Servia.
The Globe advances the view that
the foreign ofiice attitude lends color
to the suspicion that it's policy is die
tated rather by political consideration
than by regard for the real interests
Of the nation.

WILL ENTERTAIN
GRAND RAPIDS TEAM
High School Girls Planning On serv-
ing Big Supper In Honor Of Visit
ing Football Eleven Saturday
GAME TO BE FOUGHT TO FINISH
Itasca County Boys Better Thar
Last Year While Bemidt Squad
Il Much Lighter May Dance

Girls of the high school are maxi
Ing plans for giving supper Sat-
urday evening In honor OF the mem
bers OF the Grand Rapids football
eleven which will line up against the
Bemidji boys on the afternoon Of that
day.
Whenever Bemidji has visited
Grand Rapids the members OF the do
nestle science class of the high
school have served supper for the vis-
itors which was usually followed by
talks from the members OF each team
AS often as possible this idea has
been followed by Bemidji, and the
girls of the high school, who are in
terested in the supper are enthusiasts
tic over the possibility Of serving a
meal which will be credit to them.
Public Invited.
1.-THE public as in the past, is ID
vited to attend the supper, which
win be given in the Odd Fellows hall,
and for which the small sum Of
twenty live cents will be charged.
Dining room will be open from $3.50
p. m. until 1880. It is possible that
a dance will be held, in order that
entertainment might be furnished
the visitors
The game Saturday undoubtedly
will be the hardest fought on the Be-
midi scedule. Grand Rapids this
year has practically the same team
in the field this year that made such
a record on the gridiron during the
1912 season. On the other hand, the
Bemidji team will miss several of last
years stars, but Coach Bestul has
drilled the boys in such way that
they are expected to be able hold their
own. ss.4+5z.-
Bemidji Invited.
In the contest Saturday Bemidjt
will be outweighed, but this handicap
will be overdone by speed. It is
doubtful If any high school team in
this section of the state has a faster
aggregation than that which repre-
SCENTS the Bemidji high school eleven.
Haynor at full, is a ten second man,
Tanner at quarter and Bailey are
built on the speed order and are able
to circle the end or hit the line with
la force which is sure to make the
Itasca county team fight to the limit
in order that they may win.
Whaling a Star. .'..=
In Captain Waling at half, Grand
Rapids has a wonder, This player
is a stocky built fellow, with plenty
Of that stun which goes to make up
a successful football chaser. His
punting and drop kicking in former
years has brought many a victory to
the orange and black. Farrell at
the other half and Midget Lee at
quarter are men which are hard ia
beat in high school football. Coach
Carson is coming to Bemidji Satur-
day with an idea Of winning, there
by gaining back that glory which war
lost when Bemidji defeated his team
10 to 3 last year.
Get out and boost, help the boys
win, they appreciate encouragement
Let :he slogan again be, "Beat Grand
Rapids CT Bust"

BUSINESS GOOD

Salt Lake merchants suffer long
and are kind. The past week fell far
short Of their hopes, in the matter of
reasonable weather, vet the merchants
smilingly reported that business was
good and that they had no complaints
to make. The fact is, however, that
while weather conditions were ex-
tremely unfavorable during a portion
Of the week, trade kept up surprising g.
~ we'll In fact, reports from various
dealers IN many lines was to the gen.
eral effect that the week had been a
prosperous one.
OF course, spring goods did not move
as rapidly as would have been the
case had the weather been more spring
like, yet spring is here, and there were
many buyers who took advantage of
the lack Of big crowds to go carefully
over the tempting display Of spring
offerings and make their purchases.
This is particularly true Of the estab.
lishments that make speciality Of
men S clothing and furnishings.
The big department, dry goods and
millinery stores reported an excellent
week--not as much of rush as would
have been experienced with the aid Of
little more warm sunshine-but good
enough to keep the balance on the
right side Of the ledger Millinery
has moved with briskness. as has many
other spring lines that appeal to
women.
Furniture and hardware stores re-
port good business in their respec.
tive lines and painters and decorators
are still busy.
