Friends of Mr.. Roosevelt
indicated he was hopeful that
his recommendations would
be sufficient to take care of
the present situation.
It was indicated, however that,
should this not be the case, Mr..
Roosevelt was prepared to take the
leadership again as he did in issu-
ing the proclamation for a national
banking holiday.
Will Ask Broad Powers
In his message to congress, the
President is expected to request that
he be given broader executive pow
ers, that would enable him to meet
all phases of the banking situation,
in changing developments day by
day.
1t was pointed out that such
powers were necessary. 1t was
stated by advisers that it could not
be expected that a permanent DanK-
ing act could be written in three
DAYS and that powers akin to that
of dictatorship would be essential II
the banking situation was to be
clarified
Mr.. Roosevelt will see congress
sional leaders this afternoon to dis
cuss with them details concerning
the extraordinary session and to urge
mon them the necessity of the ut
most speed in carrying out his pro-
gram.
Holds Press Conference
The course that MI. Roosevelt and
his associates will pursue in the
banking situation after the holiday
ends Thursday night was said to
be entirely dependent upon con-
gress.
Mr.. Roosevelt held his first press
conference today in the executive
Office. More than 100 correspond
ents filed in. To each one the PreSi-
dent extended a word of greeting as
he shook their hands when they
filed by his desk
AT the height of this activity, and
as the newspaper men were rang
ing themselves about him, Mrs.
Roosevelt entered the room, attrac-
lively CARRIED in red. She leaned
over and whispered something in
the Presidents ear.
Son Says Good-By
Immediately thereafter, Elliott
Roosevelt, the Presidents second
son, accompanied by friend, en-
tered the room to say good-by to
his father. Elliott is on his way
to Arizona, where he hopes to pur-
chase a ranch.
In the doorway stood another
member of the Roosevelt family
James, the eldest son of the Pres
ident, who took an active part in
his campaign.
Mr.. Roosevelt was expected to wait
until the banking situation was out
of the way before going ahead with
other plans concerning general leg
islation. although it was indicated
by some that he might send a sec
ond message to congress on these
matters for its guidance in draft
ing a program in the recess which
is expected to follow passage OF the
banking legislation.

Invites to Ely and its immediate
vicinity. However, the organizers built
better than they were aware of at
the time and the activities of the or
ganization spread into other states
and today, IS years later, is doing
business in seventeen states of the
Union with membership of nearly
20 900 in both the adult and juvenile

July 18th marked the 35th anniver-

Ely Section Hand Sought
For Murder of His Child.

Alex Alango who has been employed
on the section for the D. M. & N. in
this city for some time is being sought
in the woods near Cook charged with
the murder of his infant daughter and
attempted murder of his father and
mother-in-law.
Alango had been eStranged from his
wife who had gone home to her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. George Thomas, on
farm near Cook. He had gone to Cook
while intoxicated it is presumed. His
estranged wife had gone to a dance
at Linden Grove with her brother
Alango had been seen at the dance
but made no effort to talk to his wife.
Later in the evening or early Sunday
morning, Alango went to the farm home
of the Thomas family armed with q
shot gun. He entered the home by the
unlocked door and went to the bed
room in which Mrs. Thomas and the
14-months- baby were asleep. The
SuppoSition is that the gun failed to
discharge and he dubbed Mrs. Thomas
and the baby with the butt of the gun.
Mr.. Thomas hearing the commotion
entered the room and Alango aimed
the gun at him and pulled the trigger.
Thomas was hit in the side of the head
and one arm
The injured were rushed to the Vir-
ginia hospital where the baby died and
Mrs. Thomas is in a precarious con-
dition. Sheriff Sam Oowens and his
deputies at once took up the search
for the man who had taken to the
woods it is thought. Alango went to
Cook in car in which later were
found an empty pint bottle which
contained moonshine and a pint bottle
filled with moonShine.
Posses have been searching for the
moon-crazed man since but up to the
hour of going to press nothing has been
found of him. Neighbors state that
while the couple lived in this city they
INDUCED in family spats and men on
the section state that he was rather
taciturn and hard to get acquainted
with and that he went to pieces after
himself and wife separated.

On This
Occasion
Just q few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immaterial.

Duluth and the entire North
west mourns the death of Still
man Bingham who has been
editor of the Duluth Evening
Herald since 1908 and before
that was employed in a re-
portorial capacity with the
paper. His death took place
last Saturday after an illness
of several months during which
he carried on until a week be-
fore his death. The funeral
took place Tuesday from the
home, Rev. G. N. Pace of the
First Methodist church con-
Quoting the last sad rites.
The editor of the Miner can
only add his mite to the words
of praise for his efficiency and
the regret felt over his passing.
Stillman Bingham was a power
for good through his virile edi-
torial policy and his writings
on international and political
affairs were widely quoted in
the press of the country. He
initiated many local and state
wide movements in his eG-
torials which were successfully
carried through for the benefit
of the people and the country.
He was 60 years of age and
his years have been fraught
with much good for those with
whom he came in contact. He
was active in civic affairs in
Duluth and very much in
terested in the cultivation of
flowers; the American Plila-
telic Society; the Society of
Mayflower Defendants; the
Sons of the American Revolu-
ton; the Rotary Club; the
Chamber of Commerce and
several other civic groups. He
was a Mason, a member of the
Scottish Rite, Knights Templar
and the Shrine.
