4 BeIated Protest.


Hours later, during the afternoon ses-
SION, Deputy Atiorney-,ieneral Becker
arose to say suddenly that he thought
the passing of the photograph from
juror to juror should not have been
permitted. But in the meantime the
photograph had been thoroughly looked
over by the jury. What is is.

that at thut time Thaw was more

Commercial Club Secretary Will Be
Present at State Conference.

1t is probable that Harry H. Mayer,
secretary of the Bemidji Commercial
club, and who was on Thursday in
stalled as the exalted ruler of the
local lodge of Elks, will attend con-
ference of commercial club secre-
taries which will be held under the
auspices of the new Minnesota Com
mercial and Civic Federation in one
of the smaller cities of the state,
some time in June. The purpose of
this meeting is to give the secretaries
of the states civic organizations the
benefit of the general experience of
such an organization. Among the
subjects to be discussed, are plans
for increasing and retaining active
membership in commercial clubs;
plans for local undertakings by such
clubs and fuller cooperation between
such clubs. The secretaries of the
three largest commercial organiza-
tions in the state will attend to-
gether with the executive agent of
the federation. The expectation is
that the conference will close with a
dinner, devoted to the problems of
the city in which the meeting is
held. Bemidji. may make an effort to
secure the conference.

.EI1EL ELkfpM1ED.ToHAYE
ESCAPED FROM NEWPORT
NEWS FRIDAY NIGHT
(Un1tod 3ross)

Washington, April 3.-According
to the weather bureau a rumor has
been received from Baltimore that
the German converted cruiser, Prinz
Eitel Frederick, escaped from New
port News some time Friday night.
On account of a severe storm it
has been impossible to secure infor-
nation in Washington direct from
Newport News or Norfolk.
Keenest interest is expressed in
government departments although it
has been found impossible to verify
the report of the escape.
The weather bureau says that if
the Eitel did make a dash for the
ocean it was an ideal night to aid
in it's escape, there being stiff
northeast wind, overcast sky, with
blending snow flurries.
Officials say that if the Eitel did
not take advantage of such a night
to escape the cruiser must surely in
tend to interne. .
The Eitel was we'll prepared to
sail, bunkers filled with coal, stores
replenished, machinery repaired and
the officers and crew resigned to any
fate, awaiting the word. ~
Late Friday the situation aboard the
Eitel was tense. Every officer and
sailor aboard believed he was going
to sea. t-~ 81. s2s p -.*.2 X s-~1t --

Among the fifty larger municipal
cities of the state which will hold
their municipal elections next Tues

interesting points in this connection
is the fact that the saloon question
will receive attention from the vo-

tory by the Indian treaty of 1855,

Like those of Grand Rapids, CHS
holm, Coleraine, Bovey and Hibbing
Brainerd saloon men have received
no order from the government to
close and because of this condition
the vote at the Crow Wing county
seat will be watched with interest
by residents of other parts of the
"dry' zone.
Twenty of the larger cities of the
state which now license more than
800 saloons will vote on the wet and
dry question. Indications are that
in many of these cities the vote will
be very close.

Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1915-07-08

Macdonald has issued the following
call for melting of the citizens:
All property owners of Carson are
invited to be present at the meeting
OF the city council tomorrow, Friday
evening, to consult in the matter G.
paving Carson street. Meeting to be
called at 7:30.
ALEXANDER MACDONALD.
President of the Board.
This matter of paving the street
IS of the very greatest Importance,
and all taxpayers should give it their
attention and assist the city trustees
in coming to decision. In the past
there have been great sums of mon
ey, in the aggregate, expended in
temporary repairs of the street, a
great portion of which was actually
wasted. Dirt has been hauled in,
ground UP by passing teams, and
either blown away by the winds or
hauled off in the shape Of mud, to be
later replaced with more dirt, which
in turn has gone through the same
process and no permanent good done.
If thS pavement is put down this
continual waste of labor and money
will in a great measure be done
away with and during the summer
days there will be less dust and in
winter little if any mud to contend
with. A pavement, if properly put
down and maintained, will pay for
itself in goods that would otherwise
be destroyed by dust, being kept
clean and salable. The damage thus
avoided, alone, will go long way
toward paying for the pavement.

PUBLIC MEETING
TOMORROW NIGHT
To Take Action On Paving Carson
Street--Formal Call Is Made by
Mayor Macdonald

Now that the Fourth of July celc-
bration is over, attention is being
given to other and more permanent,
il not important, matters. The next
matter to engage the attention of the
live citizens OF Carson is to be the
paving Of Carson street. This im-
provement has been dragging some
what because some of those who will
have to foot the oils do not see
their way clear to lay out the neces-
sary cash and there is an effort be-
ing made. with every hope of sue
cess, to so arrange it that this mon
ey can be raised on long time and no
body be made TO feel the bite of 4
sudden inroad on the cash on hand.
The matter will be brought up before
the city trustees at meeting tomor-
row evening and all those who have
an interest in the city are requested
to be present and express themselves.
Mr.. Bennett, the agent of the paw
ing company has for the past several
days been out among property own
ers on Carson street with a draft of
the new plan and it has been very
generally agreed to. Most of the
heavy property owners on Carson
street have signed the agreement,
and now it is up to the people to
ratify the agreements. AS the inter-
sections of the streets are to be paw
ed at the expense of the whole city,
those who own property not on the
principal thoroughfare are invited,
especially, to appear at the council
meeting and say their say. Mayor
