NAVAL MILITIA
MAY SOON SEEK
TRAINING ship
Students of Situation Believe
Smaller Type Of Boat
Best Here

That Hawaii's territorial naval
militia will be sufficiently organized
within a few months time to warrant
requesting the federal government to
send a training ship here is the be-
lief OF officers and men of the organ
ization. The request, when made, will
reach the federal authorities through
Governor Pinkham. &f|
Considerable discussion has arisen
here among those interested as to
what type of ship should be asked for
in the petition, and though there is a
deal of grandeur about handling a big
cruiser, il is generally felt that such
ship would not be suited for the
local militia.
On the other hand small vessel,
such as a torpedo boat destroyer,
would be a very suitable means Of
cruising about these waters. Instead
of being tied up for the greater part
of each year to be used only for drill
work of the stationary sort it could
duration during the twelve months.
1t is felt that an oil burning vessel
would also be looked on with favor
here rather than a coal burning boat,
but students of the situation point out
that the prime requisite would be a
vessel of not too large proportions.
Though no commander has been
chosen yet for the sailor militia,
equipment is coming gradually and be-
ing put to good use Already the nat
ty white and blue uniforms have been
received and early last week
we're worn in downtown streets for
the first time.
In addition to the uniforms there
are 120 rifles and a similar number of
belts, bayonets and canteens. The
officers at present are as follows: Elk
ecutive officer, Lieut. Richard E. Lam
bert; surgeon, William c. Hobby; pay.
master, Cyrus D. Bishop: ensign, 1st
division, William H. Stroud; lieuten-
ant, second division, John A. Nc
Keown; ensign. Leslie w. Branch

Ore Shipments viii Start Early.

1t is reported from the Mesaba
range that the mine operators. ex-
pect to begin moving ore within
thirty days. The mining compau-
les are facing the busiest season in
their history and are anticipating a
great rush, not only at the mines
but at the docks at the head of the
lakes. With the first sign of a break
up ore will begin leaving the range
and when the first carriers are
ready to take or cargoes there will
be full docks at all the ports.
The present month will witness
the assembling of new organiza-
tions, the addition of many men to
the working forces at the mines,
and active preparations for an early
start in the ore movement, which
without question, will break all
records during the coming season.
The labor situation is at present
normal. With the coming of spring
and the beginning of more active
operations at the start OF the ship
ping season, many men now work
ing on the surface will go under
ground, while new labor will be
hired for surface operations. There
are no indications of labor trouble
at this time and the recent increase
in wages made by both the Steel
corporation and the independents
seems to have had the effect of con-
tenting mine laborers. Conserva-
tive estimates at this time place the
number of men engaged in the iron
mining industry on the Mesaba and
Vermillion ranges at Is, 900 and
upon the same authority it is pre-
dicted that by May / there viii be

SHOOTING ScRAPE AT IRON BELT.
Leander Niemi Pulls Gun During a
Card Game and Punctures A
Fellow Countryman.

A regular rough h-house with some
real gun play took place at Iron
Belt last Saturday evening, as re-
sult of which one man was pune
tured twice and the gun artist is
safely housed al Waupun. An in
nocent by stander was also injured
by being hit by stray bullet.
The scene of the affray was the
saloon of Matt Niemi and which
has been run by his brother, lean
der. since Matt started to serve his
sentence of FIVE years at Waupun
following his conviction of statu-
tory offense at the last term of cir
cult court. Leander and num-
Der of his countrymen were enjoy
ing game of cards. An alterca-
ton arose and during the melee
Leander drew a revolver, big dan
gerous looking 22-caliber, and
forthwith opened fire. Matt Santa,
one of the party to the card game,
seems 70 have been picked out by
Leander as the second party to the
gun play. Santa was shot twice,
one bullet striking him in the
mouth and disconrecting a couple
of teeth, the other bullet striking
him above the eye, neither of which
proved very serious. Mrs. Matt
Niemi, wife of the proprietor of the
saloon who is involuntarily absent,
was in the place at the time and
was struck by stray bullet in the
breast, inflicting superficial
wound. 1t is said that Niemi fired
seven shots in all.
The aftermath of the shooting
affray was the result that Niemi
was hailed before Judge Flanagan
in municipal court, charged with
attempt to murder. The hearing
was set for today Niemi was plac-
ed in the county Jail pending the
date for the hearing, but during the
interim he decided that he wanted
to plead guilty and on Wednesday
Sheriff Connors and District Attor-
ney Lennon took him to Ashland
before Judge Risjord, who, follow
ing Niemi's plea of guilty to the
charge of assault with intent to kill,
sentenced him to three years at
Waupun at hard labor. And there
will be no more such strenuous So
cial events in the Niemi saloon, for
the place has been ordered closed.

SHOCKING MINE ACCIDENT.
Popular Young Mining Captain Killed
in the Woodbury. Shaft of
the Newport Mine.

A most distressing accident hap
pened at the Newport mine We'd
nesday in which Fred Richards, a
popular young mining man, met
his death, Richards and two other
mining captains were on the lower
levels of the new Woodbury. shaft
and after they had completed their
work there prepafed togo to sur
face. They were being hoisted in
a bucket when the accident which
resulted so disastrously to young
Richards befell them, a plank fall
ing down the shaft and striking the
young man o. the head, fractur-
ing his skull. 1t is thought that |
as the men were being hoisted a
steam pipe burst and dislodged a
plank from the shaft lining, the |
plank falling down the shaft.
Richards received the full force of
the falling piece while his compan-
ions escaped without serious injur-
les. The injured man became un-
conscious and remained in that !
state until death ensued shortly af-
ter seven O'Clock in the evening.
DR.. Dodd, of Ashland, was sum-
moned by telephone and made the
trip to Ironwood by special train
but could do nothing to stave off |
the end. The deceased was 81 years !
of age and is survived by his wife
and daughter besides his mother,
two sisters and two brothers. He
had followed mining as a vocation
and arose from the ranks to the |
important position of mining cap
tain. was we'll known and highly |
esteemed and his sudden taking

Who VIII Oppose LaFollette?

With the election less than a
month away when the first real test
of strength between the various fac
tions of the two political parties of
the state will be made, the cam
paign is growing more bitter each
day.
The biggest fight is in the ranks
of the. Republicans between the
conservatives and progressives-
the fight between LaFollette and
Phillip for control of the delega-
ton to the Republican national con-
vention in Chicago in June.
Both factions have placed their
strongest men in the field for can
didates to the convention -espe-
cially for delegates at large.
There is little trouble in the
Democratic ranks outside of the
congressional districts including
Milwaukee, over the delegates The
conservative and Progressive Demo
Gratis have fight on in these two
districts and indications are that
there will be two tickets in the field
for delegates.
In the meantime the Conserva-
tive Republicans are making plans
for their convention of 40 to be
held in Madison shortly, when a
candidate for United States senator
to oppose Senator LaFollette will
be chosen. The date of the conven-
tion will be announced within the
next few days. The delegates have
been chosen in nearly every con-
gressional district
Jeffries and Whitehead of James
ville are the two conservatives most
prominently mentioned to make
the race against LaFollette since
the withdrawal of Kreutzer of Wan
sau. However, there is also consid-
erable sentiment for Hudnall OF
Superior, who presided at the re-
cent conservative held at Madison
