Patterson Shows, Better and More
Complete Than Ever, to Appear in
Bemidji July 26 to 81.
ARENA OF TRAINED ANIMALS

One of the leading carnival COM
panies in existence, the Patterson
shows, will appear in Bemidji the last
week in July. The attractions are
of the best, many improvements in
equipment and features having been
made since the carnival visited here
three years ago.
The feature of the shows is of
course the Patterson-Backman COM
bined Anglo-Saxon Trained Wild
Animal Arena, with performing Afri-
can lions, Major Dumond's fight with
an untamable lion, Prof. Bray's per-
forming Teddy bears, educated dogs,
military ponies, performing elephants,
the only riding tiger in the world,
high school horses and many other
features, making it show without a
rival.
Whitaker's autodrome, wherein is
featured Mable Whitaker, the fear
less lady driver, in a terrific race on
75-degree incline track against two
motorcycle riders, gives a thrill that
makes your hair, if you have any,
stand on end. D. C. Whitaker, the
manager, is the originator of motor
dromes.
Pattersons big Annex, with J. J.
Bejano as manager, offers eight big
shows for the customary price of.one
Prof. Profilus is paper tearer and
performs almost unbelievable feats
with any ordinary piece of paper
Then there is the fat boy from Arkan-
sas, the fat woman from Bulgaria,
midgets, sword swallowers, the hu-
man pin cushion and everything that
goes to make up big circus side
show. There are many other at
fractions.

ROAD ON EAST SHORE OF
LAKE CANNOT BE USED

Autoists who have planned trips
around Lake Bemidji should aban-
don them for the time being, there
being several strips upon which
travel is extremely difficult and
where a large number of cars have
met difficulty in passing. One of
these is at the foot of steep hill
near the Wa-Ville hotel, and another
is between the MacLachlan pavilion
and the railroad tracks at the outlet.
Lavinia may be reached by using the
new state road to the head of the
lake and then taking the road used
in making trips around the lake.

st. Paul, Mimi, July 16 Evidence
that the railroads of Minnesota plan
to fight the amended eastman dis

in the answer of several roads to the
railroad and warehouse commission.
The case was one in which the roads
were asked to show cause why the

rates on Minnesota business.
Under the original eastman law,
the roads contend, they had the right

Wilson does not intend to recognize
General Carranza merely because he

waiting for a more decisive step

they are improving. Physicians say

PROBLEM OF COAL
FAMINE CONFRONTS
ENGLISH OFFICIALS
British Government at Last Being
Forced to Come to Grips With Trade
Unions in Revolt Because Of War
WOULD CRIPPLE ENTIRE FLEET
Munitions Factories Also Dependent
on Output Of Coal Permanent
Higher Wage is Demanded.
BY ]. w. T. MASON.

/ New York, July 16.-The British
government at last is being forced to
come to grips with trade unionism in
revolt because of the war. For
months the authorities have evaded
frequent challenges of organized la
Dor, but measures of military disci-
pline are now becoming necessary to
prevent coal famine Not only are
the munitions factories dependent up
on the coal output, but also a short
age Of fuel would seriously cripple
the British fleet. The government,
therefore, is forced by the necessity
of self-preservation to compel the
miners to end their strike for higher
wages.
Want Permanent Increase, a..
The point at issue between the
miners and mine owners ithot an
increased wage itself, but man
ner of it's application. ThA5opera7
tors are willing to pay more money,
but, because of the unusual war con-
ditions, they want the advance TO be
temporary and to take theSform of
a war bonus. The miners refuse this
proposal and demand a permanently
higher wage to become Immediately
effective. At the same time the
miners refuse to submit their case
to mediation and thus they invite a
conflict with the governments regu-
lation compelling arbitration of in
dustrial disputes during the war.
Situation More Serious.
The situation is the most serious
because the coal miners are the aris-
tocrats of British trade unionism.
Their national union is the most
powerful in the country; they re-
ceive a higher. average wage than do
any otheryorganized Workingmen,. ana
they have long possessed a privileged
position in labor circles. :. :
-: Powerful Opponent.
The British government, therefore,
in it's first wartime encounter with
trade unionism, has as it's antagonist
the most powerful opponent that
could be chosen. How far the gov
ernment can go in arbitrarily bring
ing the miners to terms is problema-
tical. There are 10000 members of
the union and they hardy men, accus-
toned to overawing the weaker trade
unionists.
The miners expect to make their
fight on the enticing basis of the fu-
ture Of the trade union cause. If
sympathetic support can be enforced
from the other unions, the govern
ment may be compelled to reopen the
mines by fastening an arbitration
award entirely favorable to the men,
irrespective of the merits of the con-
troversy. This may be what the
miners are working for, hoping thus
to win a trade union victory greater
than any other in England's history.

Slayer of Stanford White Released at
Noon Today-Justice Hendricks
Accepts Ruling of Jury in Case.
HAS NO PLANS FOR. FUTURE
Tells Newspaper It is 'None of Your
Business" When Asked Whether
He Would Board Water Wagon.
(United ProSS)

New York. July 16.-Harry Ken
dali Thaw, who nine years ago killed
Stanford White, today walked from
the court room here, free man. JUS
tice Hendricks announced that he
would accept the verdict of the jury
in the sanity case, and vacating the
order committing Thaw to Matteawan
in 1908. He admitted a bail of
$S5,0O0, which Thaw furnished
through surety company. Attempts
on the part of the states attorneys to
block Thaw's attempt to secure bail.
failed. The bail was necessary as
the state will appeal at once.
There was no demonstration when
the decision of Justice Hendricks was
announced, presumably because the
marshals had issued warnings that
quiet must prevail In his attempt
to block bail the states attorney
based his contention upon the asser-
ton that Thaw is still insane
Thaw is Unconcerned.
Thaw appeared unconcerned until
the doors were unlocked and the
rooms cleared when he grabbed the
hands of counsel and newspaper men
and pumped them up and down in ex-
citement.
None of Their Business.
He announced that he had made
no plans for the future and when re-
porters asked him whether he intend
ed to mount the water wagon, he
said: "That is none of your business. I"
Although Hendricks had not pre-
viously announced whether he agreed
with the jury's verdict by which he is
not bound in reaching his de-
cision, there was hardly a person
among the thousands who applauded
Thaw who doubted what the courts
decision would be. They seemed to
take it for granted Thaw would be
freed
. The legal formalities yesterday
were brief. They consisted of Thaw's
appearance before Henricks and a
formal motion by John Stanchfield,
chief Of Thaw's attorneys, that the
writ be vacated. The decision on the
motion was reserved until today.

CHAPTER XVI.

The governor had been more inf1u- enced by watching the two as they talked than by what he had heard
 Ut seems to me, gentleman" he sug- gested quietly, that you are both over- looking my presence" He turned to Callomb.
 "Your coming, Sid, unless it was pre- arranged between the two of you (which, since I know you, know was not the easel has shed more light on this matter than the testimony of a dozen witnesses. After all, I'm still the governor"
 The militiaman seemed to have for gotten the existence of his distin- guished kinsman, and, at the voice, his eyes came away from the face of the man he had not wanted to capture, and he shook his head.
 You are merely the head of the ex- ecutive branch" he said. You are as helpless here as I am. Neither of us can interfere with the judicial gentry, though we may know that they stink to high heaven with the stench of blood. After conviction, you can pardon, but a pardon won't help the dead. I don't see that you can do much of anything, Crit"
 q don't know yet what can do but I can tell you I'm going to do some- thing" said the governor. You can just begin watching me. In the mean time, believe 1 am commander-in- chief of the state troops"
 And I am captain of 'F' company, but all can do is to obey the orders of a bunch of Borgias."
 "As your superior officer" smiled the governor, 'I can give you orders. I'm going to give you one now. MT. South has applied to me for a pardon in advance of trial. Technically, have the power to grant that request. Moral ly, doubt my right. Certainly, shall not do it without very thorough sift- ing of evidence and grave considera- tion of the necessities of the case as we'll as the danger of the precedent. However, l am considering it, and for the present you will parole your pris- oner in my custody. MT. South, you will not leave Frankfort without my permission. You will take every pre- caution to conceal your actual identity. You will treat as utterly confidential all that has transpired here-and, above all, you will not let newspaper men discover you. Those are my or ders. Report here tomorrow after noon, and remember that you are my prisoner"

 Sally" he said, softly. 'I'm coming back to you-but, if I don't"-he held her very close-"Uncle Spicer has my will. The farm is full of coal, and days are coming when roads will take it out and every ridge will glow with coke furnaces. That farm will make you rich if we win today's fight"
 Don't" she cried, with a sudden gasp. Don't talk like that"

 Its made" she declared.
 "If by any chance should not come back, l want you to hold Uncle Spicer and old Vile McCager to their pledge. They must not privately avenge me. They must still stand for the law. I want you, and this is most important of all, to leave these mountains"
 Her hands frightened on his shoulder. Not that, Samson" she pleaded i; mot these mountains where we've been together"
 You promised. I want you to go to the Lescotts in New York. In year

 I'm responsible for the peace and quiet of this county" continued Sam son. Were going to have peace and quiet"
 The judge looked about him. The in- dications did not appear to him indica- tive of peace and quiet.
 Air we?" he inquired
 I'm coming ba K here in a half hour," said the new sheriff. This is an unlawful and armed assembly. When I get back I want to find the courthouse occupied only by unarmed citizens who have business here"
 When ye comes back" suggested the county judge, I'd advise that ye resigns yore job A half-hour is about es long as ye ought ter try ter hold hit
 Samson turned and walked through the scowling crowd to the courthouse steps.
 "Gentleme1," he said, in clear, far carrying voice, there is no need of an armed congregation at this court house. 1 call on you in the name of the law to lay aside your arms or scat ter"
 There was murmur which for an ln- stant threatened to become a roar, but trailed into chorus of derisive laugh ter.

 And a reply had flashed back:
 Use local company-Callomb com manding" So that form of Jaw was met.
 The courthouse doors were closed and its windows barricaded. The place was no longer a judicial building. It was a fortress. As Samson's party paused at the gate a warning voice called:

 The body-guard began dropping back to shelter.

 T promise" she reluctantly yielded
 It was half-past nine o'clock when Samson South and Sidney Callomb rode side by side into Hixon from the east. A dozen of the older Souths, who had not become soldiers. met them there, and, with no word, sepa- rated to close about them in circle of protection. AS Callomb's eyes swept the almost deserted streets, so silent that the strident switching of freight train could be heard down at the edge of town, he shook his head. As he met the sullen glances of the gathering in the courthouse yard, he turned to Sam son.
 They'll fight" he said. briefly.
 Samson nodded.
 T don't understand the method" de- murred the officer, with perplexity. Why don't they shoot you at once. What are they waiting for?"
 They want to see," Samson assured l want to let the thing play itself out, They're inquisitive-and they're eau tious, because now they are bucking the state and the world"
 Samson with his escort rode up to the courthouse door and dismounted. He was for the moment unarmed and his men walked on each side of him, while the onlooking Hollmans stood back in surly silence to let him pass. In the office of the county judge Sam son said briefly:
 T want to get my deputies sworn in"
 We've got plenty of deputy sher- ifs" was the quietly insolent rejoin- der
 Not now-we haven't any" Sam sons voice was sharply incisive. I'll name my own assistants"
 Whats the matter with these boys?" The county judge waved his hand toward two hold-over deputies.
 They're fred"
 The country judge laughed.
 Well, l reckon I can't attend to that right now"
 Then you refuse?'
 "Mebby you might call it that"
 Sampson leaned on the judges table and rapped sharply with his knuckles. His handful of men stood close and Callomb ca,.ght his breath in the hea~y air of Gtorm-freighted suspense.
