A Queens Critical Brother.

Marie Antoinette's brother Jo-
seph could not bear the rouge pot,
and one evening when the queen
was going out, being very heavily
rouged, the emperor was looking
on. Pointing to a lady present who
was excessively bedaubed with paint,
Joseph remarked facetiously: "a

HARCOURTW|LL
RULE IN INDIA,
LONDON HEARS
British Commissioner of Works
to Leave Cabinet-Long
Favorite At Court.

LONDON, Dec 30-That Lewis V.
Harcourt, member of the cabinet since
1907, and a strong opponent of compul-
sorry service, has resigned, was report
ed, but uncon firmed today.
Harcourt, whose wife Is an American
woman, is said to be slated to become
viceroy of India. Whether his opposi-
ton to conscripton has led to his resig-
nation could not be learned definitely
today.
Harcourt entered the cabinet in 1907
and held the post of secretary of state
for the colonies until formation of the
coalition ministry last May, when he
accepted the portfolio of first commits

her mother being a sister of the late J.
P. Morgan. If the report is true she
will be the second American woman to
become the vicerine of India, the first
having been Lady Curzon, formerly
Miss Mary Letter, of Chicago.
Rumors of Harcourt's resignation be-
gan to circulate too late for editorial
comment in the morning papers Despite
optimistic statements of certain news
papers. it was generally believed one
or two designations were certain as
the result of the adoption of the con-
scription policy. though there was a
noticeable slackening of tension today.
Adopt New Slogan.
Conscriptionists, rallying to the sup
port Of the government. have adopted as
their slogan the admission of G. II
Roberts, labor member of Pariamen,
and for years bitter opponent of com.

There is something worse than con.
scription and that is national defeat"

consider the form the conscription bill

There is a feeling that each delega-

FEAR NO

Snake bite is one OF the things the
delegates to the Pan-American Scien-

their visit to Washington. The reason
for this Is that one of the greatest ar-
thorities in the world on snake bites
is attending the congress as one Of the
official delegates from Brazil. DIR. Vital

MANY WITNESS DEMONSTRATION
New Machinery Of Bemidji Steam
Laundry of Latest Model.

AS the guests of J.. j. Trask, pro-
prietor, a large number visited the
Bemidji Steam laundry yesterday af-
ternoon for the purpose of observing
the new machines, which have been
recently installed at a cost of more
than $4,000, at work. The new ma
chinery is of the latest model and
their use provides Bemidji with what
is perhaps the best equipped steam
laundry in the state, the establish
ments of the Twin Cities and Duluth
having an advantage only in size.
Five new machines of the latest type
made by the American Laundry Ma
chinery company of Chicago, and
which include two cuff ironers, one
collar ironer, one shirt bosom ironer
and one neck press. Laundry ex-
perts declare that quicker and bet
ter work will result from the use of
the new appliances. 1--WE now have
a laundry which few excel" said Mr.
Trask. "The public is cordially in
vited to visit us at any time and in
spect the equipment"

STATE SCORES IN SANITY
TRIAL OF HARRY THAW
Omitted Press)

New York, June 25.-One of the
interesting points in connection with
the case which is now in progress
here in which Harry K. Thaw seeks
to prove his sanity, is the fact hat
this is the anniversary of the death
of White, murdered. by Thaw, June
Is, 1906. Attorney Cook said to-
day that he will clear the name Of
White. ~..
Barring Evelyn Nesbitt's life from
the age of thirteen and proving that
she played Thaw against White for
financial gain, the district attorney
says that he will prove that Thaw
knew long before that Evelyn was not
the innocent girl she posed to be,
which has not entered the case, but
that Thaw suffered paramonia long
before he met Evelyn Nesbitt and is
still afflicted with it. The state will
introduce moving, pictures showing
Thaw's action while in Jail and in
Canada where he escaped to from
Matteawan.
Thaw's attorneys asked for a post
ponement of the case to allow him
to attend the San Francisco exposi-
ton before it gets too hot. This was
denied.

Preliminary Draft Of Germany's Re-
ply to Wilson's Second Message
Grants Concessions Desired.
TO MODIFY BRITISH BLOCKADE
By CARL

-
Copyright, 1915, by United Press.)
Berlin, June 25.-In the prelimin-
airy draft Of Germany's reply to Pres
ident Wilson's second note concern
ing the sinking of the Lusitania the
following representations are con-
tanned, 1 am au%thoratively informed:
First-That Germany is fighting
for freedom of the seas and does not
desire in any way to ~jeopardize the
interest of neutrals.
Second-An expression of appre-
citation of the friendship with Am
erica.
Third-Acceptance of the pres
ident's suggestion of willingness to
mediate between Germany and Eng
land to obtain a modification of the
British blockade in return for a modi-
fcation Of Germany's methods OF
submarine warfare.
Fourth-An indication that Ger
many han probably been m~isinformed
in her contention that the Lusitania
was armed.
Fifth-An indication of Germany's
willingness to negotiate with AM
erica along the lines laid down by
President Wilson in his humanity
plea, without entirely relinquishing
her submarine warfare on enemy
merchantmen which is regarded by
many as Germany's most effective
weapon.
Sixth-Any indication Of compro-
mise to which Germany may agree
to regarding belligerent ships, must
secure to Germany safety of her sub
marines from their attacks. In this
connection the Weddingen. case will
probably be cited.

MAY ATTACK BOXING LAW
Reported That Injunction May Be
sought--Allege Unconstitutionality.

Preparations to enjoin the new box
ing law in Minnesota are being made
by it's opponents in St. Paul. It is
planned to obtain an injunction
against the first contest, and to bring
action in the Ramsey county district
court. The injunction will be based
upon the claim that the statute is
unconstitutional. A number of law
yers who have read the law say that
in it's present form it will not stand.
The old law prohibiting prize fights
in Minnesota was not repealed, and
the new law allows boxing matches
in St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth.
Those who will seek the injunction
will al1ege that the law is discrim-
inatory, in that it prohibits in one
part Of the state what it permits in
another

CENTRAL BELTRAMI
:N1ERPRISING CLUBS
HOLD OPTION VOTE
Grant, Wilkin, Mower and Grow
Wing Counties are to Have Special
Elections Next Monday
VETS" TO SECURE ONE VICTORY

Four more Minnesota counties are
to hold special county option elections
next Monday, being Grant, Wilkin,
Mower and Crow Wing. Thirty
eight of the 43 counties which have
voted on the question have recorded
victories for the "drys."
Although temperance men in Bel
trami county announced a week ago
that a petition calling for a vote
here would be placed in circulation
soon no more has been taken and
just what action is to be taken in the
matter is not known.
A spectacular campaign is being
waged in Mower county and both
sides have produced %placards. One
reads:
IF you want to vote yes, vote no."
The other reads:
IF you want to vote no, vote yes"
These placards are the result of
the fact that under the old local op-
ton law if the voter wished to vote
for the saloons he voted EYES," and
if he wished to vote against them he
voted NO." while under the county
option law the voter wishing to vote
for retention of the saloons votes
mo-" and if he wishes to Dust the
saloons he votes eyes"
NEGATIVE" Is for Saloons.
Under the option law the voters
were asked on the ballot whether
they wished to permit the licensing
of saloons. Naturally those who
wished to have saloons answered this
in the affirmative. But under the
county option law the question is
whether they wish the county option
law to apply to their county. An af-
tirmative vote is a vote against the
the saloons. Hence the placards at
tempting to explain.
Of course, this situation is true in
ell other counties where option is
being voted on, but in Mower the
fight is a particularly hot one, and
the residents say there is the ut
most confusion as to the Yes" and
mo" alternatives.
Chances Of Wet" Victory.
Reports from Mower county are
that the returns Monday will show
victory lying with the :'wets." Austin
repeatedly has voted "wet" but there
is said to exist in the country a
