ARE AGAIN DISAPPOINTED,
Superior Dewey Team Will Not Play
Here Tomorrow Afternoon.

Disappointment again greeted the
followers Of the Bemidji high school
football eleven this morning when a
telegram was received from Superior
to the effect that no game will be
played with the Dewey high school
tomorrow. Gridiron enthusiasts had
planned on the contest and were
much disappointed by the arrival of
the message. The Bemidji aggrega-
ton is one of the best in the state
and has not met defeat this year, a
fact which may have something to
do with the canceling of several
games. Grand Rapids will be played
in that city week from tomorrow.
London has 16s women engaged in

ner, auditor Of the organization, today
. told the grand jury Their versions of
the deportation episode of December
26. Less than two hours were con
sumed IN the Jury room. The men
then returned TO the same hotel in
Hancock, whence they were taken a
fortnight ago.
No announcement as TO the nature
of their testimony was forthcoming
from any authoritative source. and
they themselves declined 10 grant in
terviews.
Except for the fact that big crowd
Of union men greeted their leader on
his arrival and stood about the hotel
in groups while he was there. no in
cident occurred to recall the intense
bitterness that preceded the deporta-
tion. Both federation men were
guarded by deputy sherifIs, and there
was general feeling that since they
were under the official protection Of
sentiment should be suppressed
The men were met at Charming, the
FIRST junction point in Michigan reached
by two deputies selected for their
fearlessness and reliability. Practi-
cally every step of Meyer aud Tanner

Still Another Feature.

Another feature which Mr.. Harrison
brought out and which has been little
discussed in connection with the act,
Is that a federal reserve bank is au-
thorized 10 establish branches within It's
own district. In commenting upon this,
Mr.. Harrison suggested that IL would
naturally he probable for Salt Lake 10
get a branch bank in the event that a
regional or central reserve bank is not
located here. The branch banks VIII be
operated by separate boards OF direc-
tors, four OF whom will be selected by
the regional reserve bank and three by
the national reserve board, known as
the federal reserve board.
There will he nine directors in each
of the federal reserve banks, the speaker
exclaimed. They VIII be divided into three
classes: Class A, three men represent
ing the member banks in the district
and chosen by them; class b, three men
aged in commerce, agriculture or an
other industry than banking, but chosen
by the member banks: class g. three men
appointed by The federal reserve board
