M'NABB LEAVES BEMIDJ1
Purchases Drinking Establishment
at Virginia Old Resident Here.

Andy McNabb for thirteen years a
resident of Bemidji, coming mere as
an expert filer in one of the lumber
mills, left yesterday for Virginia
where he has purchased the saloon
property of Matt Derosia, the con-
sideration being $4,000. He will
take charge of his new business We'd
nesday, the council having granted
transfer of the license last week.
During the past several years, and
until closed by the government a
month ago, because of the treaty,
McNabb has operated one of the best
conducted barrooms in Bemidji, and
was always well liked by all who
had business dealings with him. Mrs.
McNabb will remain in Bemidji un-
til spring, at which time she will go
to Virginia to join her husband.

BOTH WANT VERA CRUZ
Villa and Carranza Forces Meet in
Battle and Indications Are That
Former Will Win.
GUTIERREZ WANTS RECOGNITION

Washington, Dec. 28.-The real bat
tie for contral of the port Of Vera
Cruz is believed to be in progress.
Advices to the state department say
that fighting between Carranzaista
and Villa forces is in progress ten
miles west of Vera Cruz. The attack
ing columns were reported driving the
Carranzaistas back cn their main
lines of defense. Severe fighting also
is reported in the state of Tlaxcala
and at Ebena, near Tampico.
This series of conflicts, u is. absliev-
ed here, will eventually end in sue
cess for the convention forces, who
outnumber the Carranza sympathiz-
ers.
Meanwhile Provisional President
Gutierrez is completing his cabinet,
the only vacant places left being the
ministers of justice and the interior.
In his appointments Gutierrez has
been impartial between the followers
of Zapata and Villa, so that what
mlgnt nave proven potent SOURCE vi
friction seemingly has been avoided.
Hopes to Secure Recognition.
1t is believed here to be the inten.
ton of the leaders, when the conven-
ton reconvenes on Jan. 10, to attempt
to frame a comprehensive land law,
which congress will be asked to en-.
act.
With such a law in force the dis.
banding of the army would be sim.
plified and all factions are anxious
that strong civil government be es-
tablished without delay so that an
| appeal may be made to the United
| States and the A-B-C powers for rec
ognition.
Money is badly needed for the af.
| fairs of government, but every source
of internal supply has been exhausted
| and foreign loan is out of the ques.
tion unless foreign recognition Is
| forthcoming.
It is because they realize this that
the convention forces are anxious
either to compromise with or com
| pletely crush Carranza before Jan. TO-

HELP MAKE TREE SUCCESS
Brinkman Theater Management Will
Donate Percentage of Two Nights
Proceeds for Christmas Benefit.
MEANS JOY FOR POOR CHILDREN

With plans made to accommodate
at least 200 poor children at the
Salvation Army Christmas tree and
program which is to be held in the
City hall, Wednesday evening, Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Brinkman, Of the
Brinkman theater, and Harry St..
Clair, manager Of the stock company
now appearing at this popular show
house, have asked permission to as
sist in financing the proposition.
The Army, which is assisted in
framing program by the Associated
Charities, has had difficulty in Sc
curing sufficient funds with which
to make the affair as successful as
in past years, and the Brinkman
management has generously offered
to donate a portion of the receipts of
the tonight's and tomorrow evenings
performances. r.
The larger the attendance at the
Brinkman on these two nights means
more assistance for the plan of
the Salvation Army workers.
Women in charge of the Bemidji
Amy barracks will have charge of
the ticket sales on both evenings.
Poor children from Nymore, East
Bemidji, Mill Park and the city pro-
per are to attend the exercises, and
it is expected that more than 200, the
number at last years program, will
enjoy it, An excellent program is
being arranged.

Alden Remfrey, director Of the
Bemidji band, announced today that
there will be concert in the City
hall tomorrow evening. Several spe-
cial attractions will be arranged for
the entertainment, which will be the

diately following the concert the
music pitch will be5schanged to low.
It is believed that this action, all pre-

concert would be appreciated by the

MUST Be ACTIVE
II Bemidji is to Secure Services Of
Visiting Nurse Many Red Cross
Seals Must Be Sold Immediately.
HAVE UNTIL THURSDAY NIGHT

You still have opportunity to
purchase Red Cross stamps, and In
this manner be of assistance in bring
ing a Visiting Nurse to Bemidji for
a months stay.
Few realize the importanceof such
Ia visit to Bemidji. The investiga-
tions of Visiting Nurse will usher
forth much information concerning
conditions in Bemidji which will
prove of great benefit in improving
social surroundings.
Mrs. Harvey Wilcox, who is in
charge of the stamp sales, announced
this morning that if the necessary
500 is to be secured everyone must
assist, the amount now being far
short. The stamps will be on sale
at all places, as before Christmas, and
can be purchased until New Years
eve.
Every community that has been ac
tive in selling the seals will see i'm
mediate results. The fund raised by
the seals will mean an extensive edu
cational campaign to teach people
how to live, and how to prevent and
cure tuberculosis. The first definite
step to be taken is the organization
of county health associations, made
I'D of men and women that have been
active in the Christmas seal cam
paign, and of others willing to work
for the advancement of public
health. Each Christmas seal cam
paign manager has submitted dozen
names to the Minnesota Public
Health association as possible sup
porters of such an organizations.
The plan is to have these men and
women meet soon, elect officers and
arrange a public meeting, at which
an executive of the state association
will speak The object of these coun-
ty organizations will not be to raise
money, but primarily to do sociolog"
ical work, and to have an associa-
ton in each county that can be call
ed upon when needed.

tlachoma in $4,000; It is estimated
that there are $4,000 suffering with
tubesculosis and $4,000 afflicted with
trachoma. From the 100000 ap-
propriated by the last congress there
was made available 100000 for hos
.pital purposes besides direct appro-
nriations for sanatOrium in the
Choctaw Nation, Oklahoma, and one
at Red Lake, and on the Fond du
Lac Reservation, Minnesota, also on
the Rosebud, Pine Ridge and Chey-
enne Reservations in South Dakota.
Plans have been prepared for the
building of seven small hospitals at
a cost of from $4,000 to $4,000
each, on the reservations where the
need OF medical attention has been
most keenly felt. The work for the
eradication of trachoma has been Wig
orously pushed during the year. The
field has been divided into five dis
triets and an expert assigned to each.
Liquor Indians Downfall.
At it's last session, and through
the effort of Commissioner Sells, con-
gress appropriated $725,o00 for en-
couraging industry and self-support
among the Indians, being the largest
appropriation ever obtained for this
purpose. A comprehensive plan has
been formulated by the commissioner
for the use of this money in such
way as to obtain for the Indians the
maximum benefits.
On reservations where the lands
are more suitable for agricultural use
the commissioner has made special ef-
fort to increase the interest In farm
ing and for this purpose employed
during the past year $50 farmers to
instruct the Indians.
One of the biggest resources of the
Indian lies in his forests. The com
missioner promises to wisely admin
lister this vast resource, the keynote
lDf which will be the Industrial de-
gelopment of the 1ssdian through the
jndicious sale and manufacture OF
timber.
There are approximately eighty
saw mills on Indian lands, the own
ership of which is divided equally be-
tween the government and private in
dividua1s.

marked cessation of military activity,
no decisive action has occurred along

spectacular element was supplied by
an aerial duel between German air

several thousand persons. The Ger
mans escaped.
From Petrograd comes the news
that the Russians have resumed the

Germans Holding Bulldog Grip.
General Won Hindenburg, the Ger
man commander in the east, still
keeps his bulldog grip on the Vistula
and seems to be making his present
movement toward Warsaw from
Thron, which is northwest of the Pol
ish capital in the province of West
Prussia. The latest Austrian state
ment tells of stubborn fighting on the
Dunajec river, Galicia, where the bat
tie line is unchanged, and chronicles
progress in the Carpathians.
The French official statement, refer
ring to the situation in the eastern
theater of war; says the Germans who
succeeded in forcing their way across
the BZuro river to the south of So
chaczew were driven back after hav-
ing suffered considerable losses and
that all German attacks on Bolimow
resulted in failure.
The French statement says in the
region of 1nowlOdz, on the Pilica riv-
er, and to the south OF this locality
stubborn fighting, continues. Along
the entire course Of the Nida river
and to the south Of the Upper Vistula
river. the French statement says, the
fighting Is going on under conditions
favorable to the Russians
Fog Covers Flanders.
On the western battle line Paris re-
ports that fog in the north has inter-
fered with the operations in Flanders;
that counter attacks on the part OF
the Germans have been repulsed at
Noulettes, to the west Of Lens, at
Boisselle, northeast of Albert, and at
Lihons, to the west Of Chaulnes,
where trench captured from the
Germans was lost and then recaptured
after a spirited engagement.
Between the Disc and the Aisne

repulsed at Chivy. northeast of Soupir.
In the region of Perthes the French

Gently occupied by French troops.
Two German counter attacks there
were repulsed.
The French statement reports quiet

ININDUsIRIALW WORK
Cato Sells, Commissioners, Outlines
Work Accomplished and Plans for
Future Hospital At Red Lake.
FARM WORK IS ENCOURAGED
Education Of Children Shows Marked
Gains and Vocational Training
Given Especial Stress.

! Cato Sells, commisAi Aioner of Indian
Affairs, and the man Who directs the
work of Indian Agents in their cam
paign of closing northern Minnesota
saloons because of the 1865 treaty
provisions, has issued to the public
! a report on his first years work as
head of the Department, outlining
what he hopes to achieve during his
administration. There appears
| through the report the controlling
ambition to promotes the Industrial
activities of the Indian population.
In his reform work he has not for
gotten education, health and moral
uplift
He says that he found the Indian:
Service disorganized and discouraged,
and that he has endeavored to place
it on a sound economic and efficient
business basis, working in harmony,
and with enthusiasm; with the view
Of promoting the best interests of
the Indians. With a thought of OBJ
taining clear colnprs rshsnsion OF the
viewpoint of the Indians, he has en-
deavored, he says, by personal inter
views and examination of cOrresp0n-
dence with Indians, to ascertain
clearly their ideas with regard to
the efforts being made in their be-
half, and to this end he has made it
a practice, in the case of every dele
cation and every individual Indian
visiting Washington, to understand
their wants and needs from their
point of view and has given them
his personal attention wherever pos
sible.
Gains in Education.
Concerning Indian education, he
says that the year has been especially
{ marked by the large increase in the
number of Indian pupils enrolled in
the public schools throughout the
country, which has been encouraged
because it affords training of the
greatest value and furnishes an op-
portunity to begin the cooperation
Of the government with the state in
the education of the Indian. Especial
stress is laid on the necessity for
the vocational training Of Indian pu-
pills.
With the purpose of increasing the
efficiency of teachers in the Indian
service there were held during the
year six Institutes or summer schools
IN different sections Of the country
Oklahoma, South Dakota, California,
Wisconsin, Oregon and New Mexico.
At these Institutes courses of instruc-
tions were outlined, emphasizing In
dustrial subjects.
New Hospitals Built. !,
With regard to health conditions,
the commissioner calls attention to
the fact that at the close of the fiscal
year 1913 there were fifty hospitals
with combined capacity of 1,4O0 pa
tients and six new hospitals under
construction to care for population
of 100000 with high percentage OF
tuberculosis and trachoma. Out Of
$4,000 Indians on reservations,
there were examined last year 61,-
