wasn't acting fast enough for the
Minnesota Anti-saloon league as to
other places. Magnus Martinson Of
Minneapolis was sent to Washington
early in the present year to take hold
of the matter .@@ '}32 V
: The first thing that was done after
MartinsOn came here was the closing
Of a brewery at Brainerd. The
saloons already had been closed, but
the brewery was still turning out
beer. Then followed the closing of
the saloons at Barrows. These places
are located in the southern limit of
the 1855 territory. The Indian
bureaus liquor force then went north
and closed up Big Falls and Warba,
in Koochiching county. Then the
lid was placed on Grand Rapids.
Afterward it was placed ON Ironton,
Deerwood, Manganese and Guyana,
all in Crow Wing county. Then on
Bovey and Coleraine. @|

dians were still to be found in large
numbers. The order, however, did
not touch the territory covered by
the treaty Of 1855, the president find
ing that congress alone had the power
to modify the boundaries of the dry
territory. .... .......@ IA. ..a,.@...
President Taft then sent a special
message to congress, stating what he
had done, and calling attention to the
treaty of 1855, and the powers of
the house and senate in relation to
it. There was much talk about con-
gress taking some action, but no one
was willing to make move. The
presidents message was sent to the
committees, on Indian affairs of the
house and senate, and that was all
that was done.
Having the dry and the wet ter
ritory prescribed by President Taft,
'Pussyfoot" Johnson went to work
again. He ordered the saloons in
Bemidji closed. Bemidji is in the
territory covered by the treaty of
1855. The saloon men resisted. They
went to court and secured an in
junction against the agents of the
Indian bureau, which prohibited
them from closing the saloons. That
stopped the placing of the dry blan-
ket. It took about two years to get
the matter before the supreme court
Of the United States. This court, in
June 1914, decided that the 1855
territory was dry and that the Indian
bureau was acting properly in clos
ing the saloons. The saloon men
filed an application for a rehearing
just as the supreme court ended it's
term of last year, and this gave the
liquor men a new lease of life
The application for rehearing was
rejected in October, and the way was
cleared for action.
Change Of Administration.
. In this time there had been a
change of administration. The re-
publican commissioner of Indian af-
fairs had been succeeded by Cato
Sells of Texas, democrat. There
was also a new special agent in
charge of the bureaus liquor force
in the person of Henry a. Larson
Commissioner Sells ordered Mr.. Lar
son to go ahead and close the saloons
at Bemidji and other places.

Federal Officers X. =.
WageBig Battle
Against Liquor

Bemidji is located in the district
under the Indian treaty of 1856
which prohibits the introduction Of
liquor into this territory.
There are no saloons in Bemidji
and the Federal authorities are wag-
ing a big campaign against the in
PRODUCTION of liquor.
A Washington correspondent writes
of the history of the fight between
the Indian officers and the liquor
interests CT this territory, that has
extended over a period Of five years
as follows:
"William E. ("Pussyfoot") John
son made the first move against the
saloons in Indian country in Mime
sofa eraly in the Taft administration.
Johnson was the special agent of the
Indian bureau delegated to suppress
the liquor traffic among the Indians.
Johnson acted in the authority Of the
Chippewa treaty of 1855, in which
there is paragraph prohibiting the
introduction Of liquor in the terri
tory covered by it until congress had
ordered otherwise. Johnson also
tried to close saloons in territory
covered by other treaties.
The action Of the Indian bureau

over" on the congressman, however.
He saw President Taft in the White
House proper, and left before the con-
gressmen gathered in the executive
office. When the president came in
to the Office and told the members
that he had seen Governor Eberhart,
they were indignant at the governor,
but they explained the situation to
the president and left the question
with him for action.
In Touch With Liquor Interests.
In connection with this visit of
former Governor Eberhart to Wash
ington it has been known for some
time that he was in close touch with
representatives Of the liquor inter
ests. After Governor Eberhart left
the White House he went to handy
telephone and called up a certain
room in prominent hotel. To the
occupant of that room he stated that
"everything looked right - Inquiry
afterward developed that the hotel
room was occupied by Mr.. Crane
chief representative of the distillers
who can always be found in Washing.
ton when anything threatening the
liquor men is on foot.
After some time President Taft
issued an order! modifying such Of
the treaties as he could, by removing
the restriction from some of the ter
ritory. Before doing so he consulted
with local officials of the Anti-saloo1
league, who gave his advice about
the parts Of Minnesota in which In

ington nearly three months this sum-
mer and fall before Special Agent
Larson was finally ordered to close
these two places. The liquor men
made determined fight against the
application of the lid, sending their
best men to Washington to see Com
missioner Sells. They lost out, how
ever, and the order was issued to
the liquor men to close their places

= An injunction was served by the
Range country liquor interests
against the order, and the matter is
still pending.
In all, about 200 saloons have been
put out of business by the Indian
bureau. County option elections in
Minnesota have closed about 400, so
that in all 600 places where liquor
was sold two years ago are now de-
voted to other uses.

caused a great stir in northern Min
nesota. A delegation from Bemidji
came to Washington to see Richard A..
Ballinger, then secretary of the in
terror. The saloonmen asserted that
the country was practically free IF
Indians, and that no harm would
come to the redman by permitting
the sale of liquor. Secretary Ballin-
ger declared that he would enforce
the treaties equally as to all the ter
ritory covered by prohibition pro-
visions of the various Chippewa
treaties.
:. All Territory Covered.
This announcement caused great
er sensation than the move made by
"Pussyfoot" Johnson. An examina-
tion of all the treaties disclosed that
if the "dry' provisions were enforc-
ed practically all the territory from
the Canadian boundary to the. Mis-
sissippi river would be covered by the
prohibition blanket. Some of the
treaties, however, gave the president
authority to remove the lid if he
thought such action justified,
Pressure upon members of the
house from the northern districts was
so heavy that a conference with
President Taft was arranged. Gov
ernor Eberhart. came to Washington
to attend this conference. The ar
rangement was that the conference
should see the president during the
afternoon and talk over the situa-
ton.

Young America at the committee
meeting and said he didn't see that the
boys and girls were doing any harm to
the sidewalks or streets. Dwight H
Parsons, an insurance man, led the
fight for the acceptance of the or
dinance and called the youngsters who
skate on the Broad street sidewalk
"hoodlums." He was quite peeved
because they answered him with
dirty talk" when he told them not to
skate in front of property in which he
is interested. Councilman Mueller
believed roller skating was dying out
anyway and he wasn't certain that any
ordinance was needed. Mayor Quig-
ley was in favor of the ordinance be-
cause, he said, roller skates cut up the
sidewalks and youngsters skating in
the streets catch onto trolleys and
automobiles. Councilman Gilman was
in favor of the ordinance. Council
man Danberg said it was annoying to
be forced to dodge and duck while
walking along the sidewalks. l.. w.
