err. )-Strikers and unemployed bust
ness men here were reported at L.
100000. Exact figures were not
available today but the British min
lister put the number as approximate
ly 100000. Conservatively it was
estimated in Great Britain that there
are 100000 men drawing unemploy-
ment pay from the government of
Great Britain. II.
Thus far there has been no suffer-
ing as the winter has been mild and
slow in coming but there is worry
over the prospects for the winter.
The government has urged unions
to- admit unskilled labor into their
ranks, especially in the building
trades and the government plans to
employ such in the construction of
buildings. 1t is estimated that AGO.
900 of these men are receiving gov
eminent rations.
Strikes have been reported in Ger
many but much of the unrest is said
to be Involuntary. France has about
100000 unemployed and similar con-
ditions are reported in Italy, Austria
and Central Europe, but conditions
are said not to be bad there.

STRANGE DEATH COMES
TO DENTAL PATIENT

Newark, N. j.. Nov. 12.---physi-
eians and specialists here today
were niue interested in the strange
death Of CassimerN llg, Of Roseville,

shock while having all X-ray photo
graph taken of his teeth. Facts OF
the death as given today by coroners
were as follows: lg was suffering
from septic poisoning. He went to

graph. While the doctor was in "A

ating table.
Ernest Hurd. al electrician and
sOn-in-law Of DR.. Baker. went behind
a screen with the doctor to switch on
the current. Hurd said as he was
switching on the current he heard a
strange nuttering sound and inlmedi-
ately entered the operating room and
found Ilg lying there unconscious.
The theory eXpounded was that u
spark had flown from the machine
and ris him or that 10 had touched
some pare Of the pparatue with his
arm.
The decision reached when an au-
topsy was held was that death re-
sulted from an electric shock. but
some physicians disputed that a
spark from the machine would not
kill him, and that it would only burn
him severely.

FEATURES EXHIBITION
Drop Kick for Visitors Makes
First Scoring Of Season
Against Locals

Scored against for the first time
this season but still undefeated, the
Bemidji High school football eleven
emerged from the battle with the
Chisholm High aggregation yesterday
afternoon a + to 3 victor. An ex-
ceptional drop kick by johnson of
Chisholm performed from the 4O-yard
line added enthusiasm to the contest
in the third quarter. Bemidji's scor-
ing was made in the second quarter,
when after a series Of line bucks and
smnshes over half the length of the
field, Brooks carried the oval over.
Brooks failed to kick goal, one of
the few instances this season when
he was unsuccessful
Numbcd by the cold and playing
on field sprinkled with snow, both
teams performed admirable work, al
though the ball was kept on Benidji's
end the majority of the time. The
locals accomplished approximately
500 yards in gains while the visiting
eleven gained only about ninety yards
all told. Fumbles slackened the speed
of the game at times and kept the
Bemidji scoring much lower than it
undoubtedly would have been under
more favorable climatic conditions.
Only slight gains were registered by
the Chisholm team when attempts
were made to break the Bemidji line,
while Bemidji time and again broke
through for exceptionally long runs.
Quarters were cut to twelve and half
minutes because Of the cold. r. - ~
i. A large number of local and visit
ing fans attended the game and air
were apparently satisfied that Be-
midi has the better eleven. A clean
and clever contest was played
throughout and only avery few ~
stances Of. "roughing it" were. notice
able. Pautainen, center on the CHS
holm team, was severely injured and
taken out of play. His condition to-
day has not been reported. Although
it was reported after the game that
a leg was broken, it is believed that
such is not the case, Il bad sprain
being the only injury.
The exceptional work Of Olson,
Stapleton and Brooks Of the locals
was evident at all times. Every men,
Der of the team performed admirably
and no weak spots were noticeable
ut any time.
The officials of the game were as

QUESTION ARISES OVER
WHITE EARTH INDIANS
(By United Press)

Duluth, Nov. 12.-How many OF
the Indians on the White Earth Res
ervation are full blooded? This was
the question put to Judge Page Nor
ris at the opening of the Federal
Court session today when the govern
ment submitted the role of the entire
population Of the reservation.

ing GU thousands of acres of land by

over $500 suits. It was charged that
full bloods on the reservation sold
land. claiming to be half-blooded
Afterwards they asked the govern
ment to recover their property, as
sorting they were full-blooded and
did not know that they could not
sell land as half-bloods could.
