FEDERAL JURORS
GOOD SPORTSMEN

Duluth, July 21.-A Federal jury,
which heard the case of Mearns
Bateman, town marshal of Walker,
Mimi, proved themselves good sports
men in acquitting the prisoner
Wednesday afternoon. Bateman was
charged with having liquor stored be-
meath the Carnegie library of that
town.
Bateman caused considerable COM
edy in court when he declared on the
witness stand that he had no inten-
tion of making profit out of the Ii
quor but intended to distribute it
among the "boys" to keep the Indians
from getting it. The jury entered
into the spirit of the affair evidently,
and Bateman was given a clear bill.
Bateman was arrested by Federal
authorities last May when liquor was
found slowed away under the library
building and suspicion pointed to
Bateman as the keeper of the "wine
cellar"
The marshal came out of the court
room smiling when he heard the YER

PRESIDENT WILSON
TALKS TO POSTMASTERS

Washington, July 21.-The variety
Of his political faith, which he term
ed "service and unselfishness," was
delineated by President Wilson last
night in an address to about GO post
masters virtually all by his own ap-
pointees, at the annual banquet of
the National Association of Presi-
Dental Postmasters.
President Wilson touched upon the
subject of peace, but only to say that
"in no other country are the process
es of peace so free to move"
"There is only one way of holding
the confidence of the American re-
public the president said, "and that
is by deserving it, and I know by my
intercourse with the postmaster gen.
eral his single object has been to
make the postoffice of more service
to the people of the United States
than it ever has been BEFORE"
