Possession of Port Will Give Them
Control of Southern Part
of North Sea
Fighting i'm Battle of North Fland-
erS LullS, But Field Is Still
to Be Decided.
(BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON, Oct. 29.-The fourteenth
day of the battle Of West Flanders,
which is being fought over an area
hardly greater than a good-sized
farm in Iowa, found the Germans ap-
parently bringing up reinforcements to
repeat their attempt to break through
and reach the coast of France. All
dispatches seem to agree that there
was a temporary lull yesterday in the
fighting between Nieuport and Ypers,
but reports are far from unanimous as
to whether this was due to an armis-
tice to bury the dead and remove the
wounded, or whether it was caused
by exhaustion or the Geramn lack of
ammunition. The London press haz-
ards :tall these guesses and contends
that the position of the allies is sat
isfactory. The public is warned, how
ever, that the struggle in this quarter
is not yet over, for the Germans if
they find the northern route from
Dunkirk to Calais impossible may
shift to the south with Boulogne as the
objective.

MEAT MARKETS
TO HAVE A REST

For the reason that City Attorney
R. j. Montague has not had the time
to assemble and properly examine GER
tain witnesses, the third of series of
meetings of the city council, designed
for the purpose of investigating the
conditions under which meat, fish and
poultry are being handled in Vir-
ginia and which was booked for to-
night will not be held.
'Time which I spent at the annual
convention of the League of Minnesota
Municipalities together with the un-
usually large amount of city work that
lis crowding in just now, has kept me
from devoting to the meat investiga-
ton, the time and study which it re,
nuires. I have a number of witnesses
that l can place on the stand wher

mot prepared to testify this evening
I am not certain just when the mex
meeting will be held: but probably il

CARL JOHNSON
WAS INDICTED

Carl Johnson of Virginia, employed
as chauffer by Jacob Lackery, was
indicted by the grand jury at Hibbing
yesterday on charge of so recklessly
and carelessly driving an automobile
that his machine collided with another
on the road between this city and Gill
bert and that after the car had been
wrecked he proceeded on his way at
full speed without attempting to give
the occupants any aid or assistance
Johnson was charged by Patrick
Hogan of Gilbert, whose machine was
wrecked by Johnson about two weeks
ago, according to the allegations in
his complaint. Hogan and his wife and
two other people were passengers.
Their car was overturned smashed up
and Mrs. Hogan was quite badly in
jured. The case is the first one to be
brought in this section under the new
automobile law
S. S. Dahl of Virginia will defend
Johnson, whose trial will come on be-
fore Judge Hughes at Hibbing the
first of next week.

OLIVER Will
WORK l,l00 MEN
DURING WINTER
Slight Curtailment Will Follow
Close of Ore Shipping Season
This Week.

The winter operations of the Oliver
Iron Mining company in the Virginia
district will be the largest of any dis
trict on the Mesaba range. In the
various mines of the Virginia district
about 1,1OO men will be employed
during all of the winter and the close
of navigation and the ore shipping
season from the head Of the lakes will
result in only slight curtailment Of
the present working force.
Three steamshovels at the Alpena
mine and one at the Prindle, which
have been working in ore, will go out
of service tonight and about 200 men
will be laid off during the next few
weeks to adjust working conditions to
the situation arising from the close
of the ore shipping season.
However, the Oliver will push work
on the development of it's new proper
ties in the Virginia district during the
winter and several of it's underground
mines will work heavily. More men
have been employed during the sum-
mer by the Oliver in the Virginia dis
trict than in any other district on the
Mesaba range. Its winter operations
will be fully up to those of year ago.

MONEY ROLLING
INTO TREASURY ::
Treasurer Vivian Receives Pay
ment on Last Half of
1914 Taxes.

DULUTH, Oct. 29.-Money of all
linds-silver, gold and currency, with
checks which represent fortunes in
themselyes-is pouring into the office
Of County Treasurer Vivian. The last
half Of 1914 taxes on real estate will
become delinquent after Saturday and
property owners are seeing to it that
they will not be liable to the 10 per
cent penalty which will be imposed on
delinquents.
1t is estimated by Joseph Nelson,
deputy treasurer, that more than
$4,000 was paid over the counters
in small amounts yesterday by in
dividual taxpayers. This does not in
clude the large checks received
through the mails and in person from
mining companies and other corpora
5ions Of St. Louis county.
The largest check thus far received
is from the Mahoning Ore & Steel
company, which reached the office
yesterday. 1t is for $172,288.52.
Among others which arrived in every
nail were checks from the Interstate
Iron company, $4,840.99; Republic
Iron & Steel company, $31, 900; Lee
tonia Mining company, $14,660.45
and Dean Iron company, $4,117.55

PUPILS RESOLVE TO {
BOOST FOR AMENDMENT
Say They Will Do All They Can
to Induce Their Friends to
Work at the Polls.

State Forests Day was celebrated
in Virginia yesterday afternoon at,the
Technical high school where an ex-
cellent and impressive program was
given and resolutions adopted urging
the passage of certain amendments to
the state forests laws.
Being the first program of the kind
ever given in the local high school, the
students showed a deep interest in
the proceeding and the instructors
were we'll pleased.
The program opened with the sing
ing Of "America" and this was follow
ed by the reading of the governors
proclamation. An essay on "Why
Minnesota Should Have State Forests
was read by E. W. Pfiefer, one Of the
professors in the school. The distri-
button and signing Of cards was fol-
lowed by the singing of the '*Star
Spangled Banner"
The following resolution which was
moved by Morris Finstad and second
ed by P L. Johnsrud, was unanimous
ly carried:
"The Minnesota Legislature SUBJ
mits to the people of the state at the
November election, the State Forest
Amendment. 1t is the Ninth Amend
ment on the ballot and it provides that
all untillable school lands to be used
as state forests; these state forests
to be managed under modern forestry
methods.
''The adoption of this amendment
means much more for the schools of
Minnesota than the present system of
handling our school lands.
Wherefore, we the students of the
public schools of Virginia do hereby
heartily ~ favor the adoption of this
amendment. We will do all we can
to get our friends who are voters to re-
member, the state forests amendment,
for the following reasons.
II. State forests will bring a large
increase to the public school fund,
making possible larger and better
schools without the burden of addi-
tional taxes.
"2. State forests furnish the best
possible use Of school lands too poor
to make good farms. They establish
homes and industries in localities
otherwise productive.
"3. The state forests of Europe
have reduced taxes; in some places
doing oway with all taxes; they will
in time do the same for Minnesota.
"a. Failure to vote on the 9th
Amendment is the same as voting
against it. An amendment must have
majority of all the votes cast at the
election.
IS. Adopt the state forests amend
ment and Minnesota has taken the
first step towards permanent forests

Members of Local Corps Demand
and Get an Interview With
HI. Carl Anderson.
SHOW CONTRITION WHEN
PRISONER FACES THEM
Anderson Tells Boys That He
Loves All of Them and Hopes
to See Them Again.

H. Carl Anderson, accused Of hav-

Scouts of America Of $38, and who
was brought back to this city from
Winnipeg last Monday was taken to
Hibbing this morning by Deputy
Sheriff NOLAN where he will have to
face the grand jury, now in session
here.
Yesterday afternoon about so boy
scouts gathered outside the local coun-
ty Jail where Anderson was housed and
hooted and yelled at the prisoner. The
latter was reminded of the mean way
in which he left them at Sand lake and
of taking their money. Stones were
fired at the steel grating on the cor
ridor windows. When the demonstra-
ton was at it's height, Deputy Sheriff
E. L. Lockhart of Chisholm arrived
and gave the boys a talk.
ave want to see Anderson" the
boys yelled in chorus. The deputy
consented and lead the scouts into
the sheriff's Office Anderson was
ushered into their presence. Some of
the boys were about to say some
mean things; but when they took a
good look at the sad face of the pris-
oner, they relented. Then Anderson
gave them a talk, telling how sorry he
was to have left them at Sand lake
and expressed the opinion that every
thing would come out all right. II
love everyone of you and I am sorry
for you to see me in this JAIL" said
the prisoner. 81 hope l will be able to
be with you again.
The deputy sheriffs who have talked
to Anderson say that he is just about
as much of criminal as little girl.
"That fellow would not harm anyone
said Deputy Lockhart. "He is not a
crook; but just victim of circum-
stances. He was unfortunate in get
ting into debt and one debtor after
another kept chasing him and threat
ening him with arrest until he decided
to leave the country through fear of
being placed in Jail and disgraced."

CAPTAIN THOMAS WALTERS RESIGNS

Mining Man of Lake Su peror Region Will Retire. Sue
cessor Has Not Been Ma med; May Be E. F. Bradt
of Grand Rapids

News Of Captain Walters resigna-
tion and retirement will be received
with general regret on the Mesaba
range, where he was very popular and
had wide acquaintance. Practically
all of the Jones & Laughlin properties
on this range were developed under
Captain Walters direction. He prob
ably directed mining operations with
more authority than any man in the
business in the Lake Superior country
in similar capacity, and was un-
usually successful in the mining busi-
ness, in which he was regarded as an
authority.
Captain Walters began his mining
career in the Lake Superior country
on the Marquette range more than 80
years ago. He is very well known in
this city,

years connected with the Jones &
Laughlin iron mining interests, has
resigned his position with that COM

has been appointed, but in mining

western Mesaba will succeed him. At
the local office of the Interstate Iron

are a cabin lamp, a pistol and a
powder horn used by Commodore
Perry on his flag ship Kearsage,
which have been presented to the

lamp is fancy piece of work.
The body of the frame is built of
iron and the upper part is adorned
with ornamental STEEL. The lights
are yellow and red. The pistol
barrel is built sof heavy steel and
has a comical looking grip and
trigger. The powder horn is made
of ornamental steel and holds
about enough powder to load the

LEACUEBALL MAY
BEPLAYEDHERE
NEXT SEASON
A. B. Coates, Local Magnate,
Delivers Cheering Talk to
Diamond Fans.
INVASION OF CANADA
WOULD BE BAD MOVE
War In Europe Would Have Most
Depressing Effect Upon the
Gate Receipts.

Virginia baseball fans are ANXIOUS
ly awaiting the outcome of the meet
ing Of the National Baseball Board
which is scheduled to meet in Omaha
next Nov. 10 when the fate of the
Northern Baseball league will be final
ly determined.
ut is probably that Virginia will
have league baseball next season."
said A. B. Coates, principal owner of
the Ore Diggers when interview last
evening. "As a matter of fact it was
never definitely decided to take league
ball away from here. Of course there
was a talk of the Canadian invasion
and the plans for a new league to in
clude St. Boniface and Port Arthur
and to drop Winona and Virginia, were
published in the papers throughout
the state.
"a baseball invasion of Canada just
now would be likely to prove a bad
financial move. Just as long as the
great European war continues I do
not believe that Canada will be a very
good place to pick up quarters and
half dollars. The difference in at
tendance at Winnipeg and Fort Will
liam, before and after the war was
declared was really surprising. Where
they had been drawing thousands in
the peaceful days they could not get
hundreds after the bugles had been
tuned up.
ut is my opinion right now that the
Northern league, as it stood last seas
on, will be intact in 1915. The plan
Of the new league is first rate. With
four teams on the American side and
four in Canada, the fullest benefit of
all holiday dates on both sides Of the
border would be realized. All teams
would be playing in the land of King
George on the Canadian holidays and
every team on the circuit would be
performing in Uncle Sans territory
on the American holidays. A great
saving in transportation would be de-
rived from the change of towns, mas
much as the cities Of the new league
would be better punched.
Dwelling for moment on the roar
that A. H. Pulford, president Of the
Winnipeg team is setting up anent
the efforts Of the league to throw
him out of organized ball, Mr.. Coates
said: "Pulford is not progressive and
is not giving the people of Winnipeg
the best in the way of comfort. All
games there are played at Wonderland
park which is 40 minutes ride from
the downtown section of the city. The
fans want downtown park and Pull
ford will not give it to them. A site
for park located right in the heart
of the downtown district has been Sc
cured by other people who are willing
to invest $4,000 right from the jump.
This new park would mean a great
swelling in the box-office receipts and
every team in the league would par
ticipate in the profits.
"Pulford is not progressive. He will
not spend a nickle unless he is forced
to. The fans of Winnipeg and the
various managers of the other teams
on the circuit are sore at him for this
and other reasons"
