Brainerd, Mimi, Dec 5.-(Special
Wire Service. in the closing hours
of the Northern Minnesota Develop
ment association. meeting yesterday
afternoon, attention centered on this
paragraph of the resolutions adopted
relating to reorganizatiOn:
In view of the results accom-
plished through the Northern
Minnesota Development Asso-
citation in the five years of its
existence and the expanding
field before it, it is the sense Of
the convention that the work
should by all means be contin-
ued. This association, how
ever, faces new conditions. The
separation of some of the coun-
ties hitherto forming a part of
the membership and the general
stringency in business makes
necessary modification of the
working basis, while some ac-
tivities have been so happily
successful that they may be
safely left to other agencies
1T is therefore resolved that ex-
penses must be curtailed, that the
executive committee be requested to
employ part Of the time, some quail
fed man as secretary at salary Of
$50 month or sum to be decided
upon by. the executive committee.
That. arrangement be made practic-
able, that will envolve no expenses
for rent and the minimum for other
office expenses, and that the budget
be so framed that the amount asked
of the county boards be materially
reduced" r. r-a=,
The secretaryship of the associa-
tion formerly carried about $4,000
salary, it is reported, and also trav-
cling and other expenses. They have
now decided to cut the salary to 5000
a year, which will be cut in the
direction of economy.
George D. Mccarthy, assistant Sec
retary Of the Duluth Commercial
club, was elected secretary by the
executive committee. Quarters, of
course, will be furnished by the Du-
luth Commercial club, which will,
undoubtedly bend every energy to
pushing work Of the organization at
a minimum cost to the same. In
the past, Secretary w. r. Mackenzie
had his office in Minneapolis. Mr.. Nc
Carthy's appointment takes place De-
cember Is.

ALL STARS VICTORIOUS
Junior Quint Trims Athletics to Tune

As Star.
DUTCH" KLEIN'S FIVE HUMBLEI

Although comprised entirely of
Bemidji boys, the teams who fought
for the city championship last even
ing, played two of the most inter
esting contests ever played in this
city. AS curtain raiser, Dutch"
Klein's quint clashed with the Lit
tie Bemidg'' five. These teams pro-
duced a snappy exhibition of basket
ball. Klein's quint carried off the
heavy end of the score in the first
half, but Captain Ripple's men doub-
led their efforts in the second half
and succeeded in proving their su-
periority to the tune of 27 to Is.
Although handicapped by the loss
of Brandon, Bemidji's star forward,
the Athletics fought stubbernly to
win over their lighter opponents, the
"All-Stars." The contest was fast
from the first blow of the whistle.
Peck at center was out-jumped by
Tanner, who played sensational
game and was credited with four
baskets. Johnson at forward was
the star of the game and outplayed
his guard. His work on the floor
was fast and his basket shooting was
a feature of the game. "Pease"
Bailey played an excellent game and
his work had a great deal to do with
the overwhelming victory. Jacob
son and Bell displayed excellent skill
at guarding and did not allow the
Athletic forwards a basket in the
last half

.HUBBY's PRAYER AND
ITCHING NOSE PROVES
WIFE FLIRT, HE SAYS
THREE PRAYERS BRING AN ITCH
ING NOSE, EAR AND PALM; RUNS
FRAU FROM HOME

Baltimore, Md, Jan. 21.-Will Van
banker, motorman, suspected his
wife of being a firt. He'd never caught
her INDUCING in the eye nor dropping
her handkerchief for handsomes trang-
ers to pick up-but had a bunch.
He proved his suspicious not by hir-
ing detectives to shadow his wife, but
by the cheaper means of prayer, ac,
cording to Mrs. Vandaniker. After ae-
cusing his wife Vandaniker dropped OF
his knees and began praying at a high
rate of speed
"Oh, Lord, he said, q suspect this
here woman of flirting. I'm going to
leave it to you, because you know
everything. If you make the left side
of my nose to itch I'll know she is a
nirt"
Immediately he jumped to his feet
and began scratching violently at the
left side of his nose. Vandaniker said
that it might have been a coincidence,
and as he didn't want to make any mis-
take he went down on his knees again
and asked the Lord to make his left
ear itch if his wife was flirt. He had
to take fork from the table to allay
the itching the followed.
Vandaniker still hoped that he might
be wrong, so he prayed the third time.
This time he asked that divine proof
would come in the form of an itching
palm. 1t came Immediately.
4 know I am right now" said Van
banker
Whereupon his wife says he ran her
out of the house and told her to pro
coed with her proved flirting, but never
shadow his doorway again. Mrs. Van
banker went to Justice Dean. She said
she wasn't a fiirt in spite of the divine
itchings. Her husband will have to
come into court and explain.

Y0UNGSTER IS ACQUITTED
Of MURDER CHARRE

Atlanta, Jam 21.-Frank Barton, a
boy who looks to be about twelve aid
whose age is given as fourteen, was
arraigned in the superior court for
murder this morning, and after a trial
which lasted half hour, was acquitt-
ed,
Barton is probably the youngest
child to be put on trial in the criminal
court on murder charge in the re-
cent history of Georgia. On last
Fourth Of July Barton killed John
Edgar, a twelve-year-old companion,
by cutting his juglar vein. The twl
boys were playing Indian at the time,
and Barton, it is said, was showing his
little friend how the Indians welded
their war knives and tomahawks. One
of the knife fourishes went too for.
At the time Barton was sent to the
detention home and that would pos
Silly have ended the affair, if the city
detectives hadn't started an investiga-
ton and tried to show that there was
malice in the stabbing. The detectives
secured a grand jury indictment, AMI
hence the trial, but the trial jury ac-
cepted the Indian-game version of the
killing.

TROUT LAW LID OFF
BUT WINTER STILL ON
vermont's Open Season for Brook Beau
ties Hampered at the Outset by Icy
Condition of the Streams.

An hour before dawn this morning
the legal lid ON the taking of brook
trout from streams and little rivers was
lifted, but no amount of law enforce
ment or seasonable allegiance of the fish
and game statutes could release the
brooks from their winters coating of
ice. Not in number of years has the
fishing season opened so inauspieiously
for the fishers and fish. Back on the
hills the ground is still covered with
snow and in the woods it is piled high.
Moreover, but little snow has melted
and the streams are unusually low for
April Unless there is a steady spell of
warm weather, the fishing season may
not open until May is well advanced.
According to law, trout, landlocked sal
mon, lake trout and longe could be taken
to-day, but the mortality among the
finny members is not expected to be at
all large.
A few bold spirits braved the chilly
weather this morning and set out at
daybreak for streams nearby. One

Jury Convicts Clifford c.
Fletcher Of Embez-
zling $1,950
WHILE PRESIDENT
OF RUTLAND CONCERN
Verdict Returned in Rutland
County Court After a
Long Deliberation

Rutland, April l5.-The jury in Rut
| land county court, after being out al
night, to-day found Clifford G. Fletcher
of Harrisburg, Penn, former president OF
the Vermont Accident Insurance com.
pany of this city, guilty of the embezzle-
ment of 81 $50 from the company while
in office in l00S. Clemency was recon-
mended. Fletcher was defended by j. G.
Jones of Rutland and j. B. Donoway OF
Middlebury, while States Attorney B.
l.. Stafford prosecuted.
In presenting the respondents side oil
the case, Attorney Donoway said that
the failure OF r. A. Dean, secretary, to
enter Mr.. Fleteher's note as an asset on
the insurance eompany's books in July,
1908, was in large measure respon-
sible for the Indictment.
In his argument for the state, Mr.
Stafford said that Mr.. Fletcher had
abused his power to loot the insurance
company. in which he was almost abso-
lutte. The prosecutor said that it was
too much of coincidence that the book
keeper, Mr.. Dean, should have twice for
gotten to make proper entry on the COM
pany books, in both cases the forgetful-
ness favoring the respondent.
