INDIANS WANT 100000.
Chippewas Renew Demand Made at
Bemidji Meet and Declare Tribal
Fund Should Be Distributed.
TO APPEAL TO NEXT CONGRESS

When the Chippewas of Minnesota
organized their council two years ago
determined efforts were begun to OBJ
tain from congress the division and
distribution among members of the
tribe of the immense tribal fund now
held in trust for the Indians.
At the conference held here q year
ago their efforts were doubled and a
delegation was sent to Washington
for that purpose, and to ask for other
legislation which would be of bene-
fit to the Indians. At the White
Earth council, held recently, definite
action was resolved upon and as the
state Ch1ppewas, heretofore divided
into factions, one fighting another,
are now working with one point in
view, their appeal is likely to re-
-ceive consideration.
It will be remembered that at the
Bemidji conference there was much
rivalry between the various factions,
friction being evident on the floor of
the convention during every debate,
no matter of how trivial consequence.
But this year it was different and
even Gus Beaulieu, who bitterly op-
posed the election of John Morrison,
of Red Lake, as chief in 1914, en-
dorsed his reelection, urging that
it be brought about without opposi-
ton.
The distribution of the fund would,
in the opinion of government authori-
ties, mark the beginning of the end
of Chippewa reservations in Mime
sofa, for it would do away with a
fund of more than 81, 900, the in
terest of which is now used in sup
port of the school system and in pay
ing for the expense of conducting
the reservations.
Gus Beaulieu has been prominent
for years in the move to get the gov
eminent to distribute the Indian fund
among the members of the tribe and
cease it's attitude of paternalism to-
ward the Indians. Beaulieu has ar
gued that the Indians should be left
to shift for themselves, the most of
them are fully civilized and that
many of the younger men and women
are we'll educated.
For years Beaulieu and his faction
haye protested that the tribal funds
arsbeing wasted and at the "coun-
.cip Beaulieu declared that there was:
extravaganza in the conduct of the
Indian affairs, that an inquiry should
be made of the use being made of
the income from the trust funds of
the Indians.
Beaulieu several years ago was in
strumental in starting a suit in the
federal court of claims which result
ed in the governments admitting a
liability of $4,000. This money
is now part of the fund.

WORLD WIDE CHILDREN'S
PEACE MOVE STARTED
Omitted Press)

Denver, Colo, July "a world
wide children's peace movement is
being planned here today by an or
ganized body of adult peace workers.
The movement will be launched in
each Sunday and public school of
Denver and Colorado. When this
state is thoroughly organized other
states will be asked to join in the
plan.
When the local organization is
completed, probably some time in
July, Children's Peace Day will be
held at City Park, with thousands of
children and their parents partici-
pating.
A pledge is to be taken by each
child joining the movement. The
pledge follows:
I pledge myself
To add my mite to world happiness
BY using my best endeavor to
spread peace
At all times and in every place
at home, at school, at work, at play
To be brave enough to stand the
taunts of those ignorant ones who de-
clare that
might is Right" instead OF
Right is Might"
I pledge myself further not to
quarrel; to have no hatred in my
heart; to be kind to animals; to love
nature and to live at "Peace" with
my neighbor, myself and my Maker

FOR CONTROVERSY
Washington Officials Admit That Ar
menian Case Likely to Cause Trou-
BILE Between U. s: and England.
GERMANY APPEARS JUSTIFIED
Omitted Press)


Washington, July Estate de-
partment officials admit that the de-
stroying of the British steamer Ar
menian, with a loss of a number of
American lives, is more likely to
cause an American British contro-
versy than a German-American con-
troversy. The question has been
raised as to whether the ship was a
transport or peaceful freighter.
The admiralty hints at the former
and the owners state that it was of
the latter class.
If it was a transport, loading in
United States ports and sailing in
United States water it violated the
United States neutrality.
From news dispatches, however,
and close reading of the official re-
ports of yesterday, the officials are
inclined to the view that inasmuch
as the Armenian apparently refused
to submit to the warning command
of the German submarine to halt,
and made repeated attempts to es-
cape, according to international law
the sinking of the vessel was justi-
fed, even though there were non
combatants aboard.
Rule of Civil War.
This was the rule laid down in the
case of blockade runners in the
American Civil war and is the prin-
ciple applicable also to neutral YES
sells which refuse to submit to visit
and search.
There was little tension over the
incident in official quarters here af-
ter it became known the Armenian
had sought to evade capture. It was
admitted that if official reports bore
out the press dispatches, there was
no likelihood of any new cause for
complaint to be added to the issues
pending between the United States
and Germany.

BEMIDJI MEN CATCH
MUSKALLUNGE AT DORSET

Z Frank s. Lycan and George Kreatz
returned to Bemidji last evening
from Dorset where they spent
Wednesday and Thursday fishing.
The prize of their trip is a 23-pourd
muskallunge, which is now on dis
play at the Markham hotel club
rooms. Another muskallunge was
caught, according to the fish story of
Mr.. Kreatz, but was thrown back in
the lake because it was only % in
ches in length. The state law pro-
vides that muskallunge must be
thirty inches long.

second time in a month Springfield
today is voting on a proposition to

change will be made from the alder
manic plan to the commission plan,
especially in view of the result of
last months election held June 2,
in which the voters cast an over
whelming majority of votes in favor
of the commission plan. A techni-
cality invalidated the June election.

LUMBER INDUSTRY
SHOWING INCREASE
Legislators Find That Although Big
Pineries Have Been Cut, Large
Virgin Tracts Still Remain
BEM1Du Mills WERE VISITED
Telephone Poles, Ties, Lumber and
Wood Pulp Are Among Leading In
dustries-G oquet Leads World

Minnesota senators, representa-
tives and state officials who recently
visited Bemidji, International Falls,
Cloqliet and Virginia, on their tour
of Northern Minnesota, were brought
face to face with the ract that the
lumber industry is increasing, not
decreasing, as is generally supposed.
Uncut Tracts Remain.
+. While it is true that the big piner-
les have been quite generally cut
over in the north central section,
there are still great tracts Of virgin
pine remaining. With few excep-
tions this is the inteior and away
from the main lines of travel.
Bulk is Not Pine.
But pine does not and never has
constituted the bulk Sof Minnesota s
forests, contrary to the general i'm
preston, and the legislators came to
realize that spruce, cedar, tamarack,
poplar, birch and balsam still remain
in great abundance and are. proving
the bulwark Of the lumber industry
today. ..>..FsE&-
The two large Hemidji saw mills
of the Crookstons humber company
and the Bemidji Boz factory were
points of interest visited by the legis-
lators, and they were surprised at
Cloquet on the st. Louis river, when
they were told that more timber pro-
ducts are manufactured there than
in any other city in the world. -
The great mill at Virginia which
cuts 100000 feet of white and Nor
way pine year, is counted the larg-
est mill of it's character. ! -"
Pulpwood Piled High.
The legislators found that more
spruce pulpwood is cut in Minnesota
than any other state in the: Union.
Thousands of cords supply the paper
mills. ,.s.-5t.5- a..
At International .Falle the Backas-
Brooks mill Is situated, the largest
plant of its kind in the world. Here
the pulpwood is piled almost noun
tain high in conical stacks near the
mill, the Rainey river for three miles
is lined with it, and on the river
bank thousands of cords are stacked.
Much of this pulpwood is sent out of
Minnesota. ~.
Minnesota Leads Pole Industry.
The cedar industry was found to be
of enormous proportions. More tele-
phone and telegraph poles, cedar ties
and posts are cut in Minnesota than
in any other state.
The tamarack forests, which
abound in the north, are perhaps the
best source Of railroad tie material
to be found anywhere. Woodenware
concerns utilize enormous quantities
of miscellaneous wood material, max
ing it possible for the settler to dis
pose of the wood from his clearing.

New York, July 2.-Officials of the
