WAS MISLEADING STATEMENT

In last evenings issue of the Daily
Pioneer and in today's issue of the
Weekly Pioneer, news item appears
in which it is stated that Frank o.
Heulin, of Anderson postoffice, had
been brought to Bemidji by Deputy
Sheriff George Denley, having been
accused of criminal1y assaulting the
wife of Toney Conda, a Red Lake
homesteader. The charge against
Heulin, as stated in the warrant
which caused his arrest, reads that
Heulins did, on January %, "wlllfully,
wrongfully and unlawfully assaultone
Ida Conda, and did then and there
inf1ict grievous bodily harm upon the
said Ida Conda by striking and beat
ing the said Ida Conda with his
fists" The Pioneer makes this ex-
PLANTATION because it feels that the
previous statement might have been.
misunderstood by It's readers.

FIRE DID $1,000 DAMAGE
Flames Visit Model Bakery Building
Bringing Loss to Store and 0ccu.
pants of Second Floor.
F1REMEN MAKE WINNING FIGHT

Damage to the extent of about
$4,000 was caused by fire in the
building of the Model Bakery at
shortly after IL o'clock last night. il,
Firemen are unable to name the
direct reason for the fire, although
they believe that it was originated
by an overheated heater on the Sec
ond floor. Before discovered the
flames had gained good Roadway and
the walls of the rear partition and
the roof were burning when the de-
partment arrived. Brilliant work on
the part of the firemen saved the en-
tire building from destruction and
the adjoining building, occupied by
John Bye.
1t is estimated that the damage
done at the bakery will total about
$4,000, fully covered by insurance.
A large quantity of material was de-
stroyed by water and the entire
stock seriously damaged. A batch
of 700 loaves of bread and a large
number of rolls and buns were ready
for the oven when the fire interrupted
progress. No business was transac-
ted today.
The rooms of the second floor,
rented by Mrs. Robert Nelson and
sub-let by her, were badly damaged
by fire, the furniture being drenched
by water, the floors today being COW
cred by thick layers of ice.
The building is the property OF
Mrs. A. P. Henrionnet~ and is covered
by $4,000 insurance. Mrs. Hen
rionnet1 said today@thatZ the building
will be repaired as soon as possible.

CITIZENS TAKING
LITTLE INTEREST
in CITY ELECTION
Judge H. A. Simons Announces Can
didacy for Mayor, Placing Three
Aspirants in Field for Position.
FIGHT IN ONLY ONE WARD
Three Present Aldermen Practically
Certain Of Returns While Contest
Will Be Had in Fourth.

Some surprise was caused in city.
politics this morning when the can
didacy of Judge Hiram A. Simons
for mayor was announced The pc
tition of Judge Simons is now being
circulated by Martin Longballa and
will be filed as soon as completed.
The entrance of the Judge
into the mayoralty race means
a three-cornered fight, as William
McCuaig, the present official, and
Morris Kaplan, socialist, have already
made known their candidates..
No Interest Shown.
Contrary to previous years, interest
in the approaching election is slight.
There will be only two contests of
consequence for offices, those for
mayor and for alderman in the fourth
ward. Three candidates, Thomas S.
Erwin, Carl Hebron and Abe Gross
man, seek election as alderman from
the fourth and because of the expect
ed small vote, victory will probably
be secured by only small plurality.
All to Be Returned.
Although they are opposed by So
cialists, it is almost certain that John
Moberg, alderman in the first ward;
Sherm Bailey, alderman in the Sec
ond ward, and Alderman J. M. Phil
lippi, of the third ward, will be re-
turned, as will City Clerk Stein, City
Treasurer Rhea and City Assessor
Lloyd. Frank Lycan should win for
alderman-at-large, his only opponent
being a socialist.
Here Ten Years.
Judge Simons has been a resident
Of Bemidji for ten years, coming here
from Northome in 1904, where he had
practiced law for year. He resided
at Northome from September, 1903.

Blackjack where he lived since ALL.
gust, 1902. In 1889 Judge Simons
took up the practice of law at st.
Paul, remaining there until coming
to Beltrami county.
Commissioner for Long Period.
During his residence in Bemidji,
Judge Simons has held several public
offices, including justice of the peace
and Judge of the municipal court.
He is now United States commissioner,
a position which he has held for
twelve years, first being appointed in
1908 by Judge Page Morris of the
Federal court. He was reapppOinted
in 1907 and 1911.
II have entered the race because
of the pressure brought upon me to
do so by many who are opposed to
the men already candidates" said the
judge, land while I will appreciate

campaign"

GUN CALIBRE MAY
CHANGE SEABATT|'LES
Derdinger, German Cruiser, Differs in
Important Respects From British
T. Ships-Range Counts. .
TOO EARLY FOR CONCLUSIONS
Mason Sees Where Designers in Flu.
ture Will Sacrifice Armor for Dis
lance Guns on Battleships. +.
(By ]. w. T. Mason)

New York, Jan. 28.-The damage
done by the German shells to the
British dreadnaught cruiser Lion in
the North Sea battle, was probably
inflicted by the guns of the Derflinger
This dreanaught cruiser was com
pleted for service about a fortnight
before war was declared and she is
the last word in German naval con-
struction. There can be little doubt
that she covered the retreat of the
weaker unit in the fight.
The Derflinger differs in important
respects from the Lion and Tiger,
which represented the British dread
naught cruiser ideals, in Sundays en-
gagement. Primarily in British air
ships, armor protection is sacrificed
to gun calibre. The reverse is the
case with the Derflinger The Lion
and Tiger are armed with 10 5-inch
guns, firing a projectile weighing
1880 pounds, while the Derflinger
has 12-inch battery which fires pro-
jectiles weighing only $50 pounds
The British shells have about 20 per
cent greater penetrating power than
the German, and this proponderence
is not counter-balanced by the fact
that the 1S 5-inch guns can fire only
IL rounds per minute, while the
12-inch guns can fire two rounds.
Take Greater Chances.
But the Derflinger has 13 inches
armor protection about her brides
while the Lion and Tiger have only
nine-inch arm0r. Thus the German
ships would be able to take larger
chances and by keeping we'll within
the range of the British guns, enable
her own shells to penetrate the Eng
lish ships.
The speed factor, while accounting
for the destruction of the compare.
lively slow Bleucher, must have been
controlled in the case of the dread
naught cruiser by the Willingness OF
the Bleucher to keep within range OF
the enemy's guns and thus cover the
retreat of the less armored German
vessels.
Had First Test.
It is difficult to account for the es-
caps of the Moltke and Seydlitz on
any other grounds than this. The
problem of armored protection yer.
sus big guns has the first test of the
war. The date, however, for draw
ing conclusions is not here The Ger.
man government has not evolved any
information concerning the condition
of the Derflinger after the fight and
until this is known, comparisons will
have to be withheld.
Nevertheless, it would seem from
the plight of the Lion that British
designers have gone too far on con-
centration of Is 5-inch guns to be
the detriment of armored protection
