DOGS FAIL TO FIND TRAIL

Andrew Johnson, sheriff, returned
to Bemidji yesterday afternoon from
Hamre where he had spent Sunday
securing the woods of this vicinity
in search of Mrs. Eline Ellingson,
rs, who has been lost since late last
Wednesday afternoon. The sheriff
had the assistance of two blood
hounds but the dogs were unable to
locate the trail of the woman, the
scent having been lost by continual
travel over the ground by searchers
who have been working since Mrs.
Ellingson's disappearance.
On March 10 of this year Jacob
Anderson, son of the missing woman,
petitioned to the probate court ask
ing that a guardian be appointed,
her condition being such that she
was no longer able to care for her
self. Judge M. A. Clark appointed
Frank E. Magnuson, son-in-law,
as guardian: Mrs. Ellingson is the
owner of a quarter section of land in
Hamre
. Every day since the disappearance
of the woman searchers have hunted
the woods and there is growing be-
lief that she might have left the
country.

COUNCIL NOT TOMEET HERE
Failure of Congress to Appropriate
Money for Chippewa Conference
Responsible, Says Chief Morrison
HOLD SESSION AT WHITE EARTH

Although Bemidji had been Sc
lected as being the proper place to
hold the annual meeting of the gen.
eral Chippewa council, White Earth
will be the scene of the conference,
announces John Morrison of Red
Lake, chief. Chief Morrison says
that the failure of the last congress
to appropriate money for: the council
necessitated the change. Officers
asked for an appropriation of $4,000
to finance the council during the
year, the expenses of delegates to Be
midi and the legislative committee
to Washington to be paid from the
fund.
Because the largest delegation to
the council would come from White
Earth twas decided that the con-
ventiOn should be held there. The
meeting will be held June IL, says
a notice which has been sent out by
Chief Morrison. Reports will be
read and matters pertaining to the
welfare Of the tribe in Minnesota will
be discussed at the session.
'"The basis of representation to the
councils of this organization shall be
one delegate for each one hundred
members or the major fraction there

Reservations and reservations coded
under the provisions of the act of
congress Of Jan. IA, 1882" says the
call Such delegates shall be elect

tions.
'"All chiefs Of banks are ex-officio

larly elected delegates.

lions or councils, it is suggested that

bassador Won Bernstorff has received
q message telling him to explain to
the state department that Germany's
evasive answer was necessary to pre-

President Wilson has asked that
the reply to the German note be with
held and expresses the hope that it
will be answered speedily, at least. by
Thursday, or Friday. He; said that

Analysing the Germany reply, II
was pointed out that the German ac-
ceptance of responsibility for attacks
on the American ships Gulfight and
the Cushing, with expressions of re-
greet and offers of reparation, could
not aid materially in clearing up tile
situation, since it was declared in the
American note such promises do not
remove dangerous practice. This
view, it is held, is proved by the at
tack on the Nebraskan and the alb
sence of any assurance that Ameri-
cans on unarmed merchant ships of
any flag in the future will be trans
ferred to a place of safety before such
a ship is destroyed as a prize Of war.

becoming an important factor in the
distribution of high grade corn, rye,

- Of crop rotation are demonstrate

beans, cow peas, sweet clover and
various small grains are being run

fact that the residence lots in Be-

without this would be like giving

fruit plot is used for practical work
in setting out trees and bush fruit
and for demonstrations in the uses

practical work in corn, grain and
potato culture. Enough of the real

ing three games, and will still be four
behind. Should they win five straight
they would have achance, and fair
ly good one, but it isn't reasonable to
suppose that anything of the kind will

Comiskey seems to have taken

He fields as well as any third sacker

he failed to get at lest one bingle, and
his wanops have been unusually time

yesterday, clubbing triple and two
singles that drove in four runs, be-
sides the one he counted on his own
hook.
If first-cIass man could be secured
to start the 1916 season at first base
then the White Sox undoubtedly
would start the season favorites for
the flag. In every other department
the team is well fortified. But nei-

WILSON The PILOT
His Motto: '.Jesus Saviour Pilot

came such man to be drawn
from the seclusiOn of learning,
religion and PHILOSOPHERS and
elected president of the United
States? Since the crueifxion of
Christ the world has faced no
such moral crisis. As God raised
up Washington to create the

News-Democrat. in noting the
character of a strong man so op-
enly manifested by President
Wilson, in times of real test,
such as have come to him often

sanctions most heartily the above

there is one man in this land to-

the nation may be forced to face,
calmly, manfully and above all,

man is Woodrow Wilson.
His recent state papers have
been both gems of rhetorical ex-
preston as well as masterpieces
of calm, dignified adherence to
all those principles this nation
and its people stand for. What
ever the strength of the storm
that may break about the old

shoals of disaster the course,
there is a blessing indeed in the
assurance that the pilot, guided
by strength of character and no
