S. Snow Says Ther are Worse
Methods Than Fish Houses
For Taking Gam Fish.
EDITOR PIONEER:
Walker Pilot: George Van At the last burning ot the
Pelt, who while in the custody ofj brand Bemidji Tribe No. 39,
Order of Redmen elected officers
Sheriff Hardy a short time ago
quite innocently gave the officer
a brief but acute scare, has
emerged from the legal entangle
ment in which he was involved. Mosebaugh.
^Van Pelt is a Great Northern
conductor whose home is at Cass
Xiike and he was arrested on a
charge of non-support, his wife
'being the complaining witness.
He was released and rearrested
and on the case again coming be
Jore Judge McClenahan it was
dismissed, his wife refusing to
appear against him.
Speaking of the case Van Pelt
stated that he was pleased to
have the trouble all over. He
My atten
tion has been called to an article
published in yesterday's Pioneer
about depopulating Bemidji lake
of its game fish by the use of fish
houses. I wish to say that the
only fish that are being caught in
this manner are pickerel and
suckers. Everybody knows they
are a winter fish and are not con
sidered eatable in summer. I
see by the paper that the heart
of the local sport has been
touched upon. No doubt the
sport would rather see the pick
rel protected in the winter so he
can play him on his line in sum
mer aud after the fish is exhaust
ed take him off and rap his head
on the boat and throw him back
and say, "That is a snake, I don't
want him." The law provides
that fish house may be used
through the winter months to
catch pickrel, suckers and red
horse. M. S. SNOW.

City Jail Blaze.

relatives, her sisters' husbands.
Mrs. Van Pelt is a sister of Mrs.
George Lydick, of "section 16"
fame, and as she is also owner of
considerable valuable property
almost adjoining section 16, Van
Pelt claims that they all wanted
to get him out of the way. Mrs.
Van Pelt owns section 9, part of
which is virtually within the city
limits of Cass Lake, and the
property is considered worth
from $30,000 to $40,000. He
claims that while he was at his
father's home in a small town in
the northern part of the state on
account of his father's sickness
his wife's relatives at Cass Lake
put up stories that he, Van Pelt,
was not at his father's home at
all, but had skipped out with an
other woman. This, he claims,

Condition Serious.
The condition of J. N. McCarty,

serious today. McCarty was
taken sick the first of last week.
The house for which he travels

condition today and unless there
is a change for the better soon he
cannot survive.

WILL DECLINE OFFER
A83ISTANCE OF UNITED STATES
SOUGHT BY DEPOSED DOMIN-
ICAN PRESIDENT.
LATTER EN ROUTE TO THIS COUNTRY
PROMISES TO ALLOW PROTECT-
ORATE OVER ISLAND IN RE-
TURN FOR AID.
Washington, Dec. 5.The appear
ance in Washington of Senor Delvan,
minister of finance of the defunct Wos
Gil administration ot San Domingo,
has led to a revival of the report that
the ex-president is trying to secure
reinstatement yith the a-ssiFtance of
the United States, undertaking in re
turn to allow the United States to as
sume a full protectorate over the isl
and of San Domingo. It may be
stated, however, that the state depart
ment entertains absolutely no thought
of establishing a protectorate over San
Domingo or to annexing it. It is de
clared positively that American inter
ference in the island's affairs will be
limited to the protection of American
interests there, and while the frequent
revolutions in the little republic are
very mucfi deplored by the adminis
tration here the Washington govern
ment will not meddle with the po
litical conditions of San Domingo but
will simply see to it that existing en
gagements as to arbitration and con
cessions to Americans are conserved
and that American trade Is not im
properly obstructed.
It is learned from trustworthy
sources that Wos Gil, the deposed
president, is now on his way to the
United States and is expected to land
at New Orleans shortly. He will come
to Washington and will see Senor Gal
van, who expects to be in Washington
again within the next ten days.
Advices have reached Washington
that there are now three revolutions
in San Domingothe revolution led
by Morales, a revolution at Monte
Christo led by the followers of Jiminez
and a third and stronger revolution in
the south of the island.
WOULD NEGOTIATE NEW TREATY
Colombians Willing to Grant Favor
able Concessions.
Washington, Dec. 5.Minister Beau
pre, at Bogota, has advised the state
department that the Hay-Herran canal
treaty was rejected by the Colombian
senate on its merits that is to say
that the treaty itself in its text and
Its spirit was regarded as objection
able.
Mr. Beaupre is confident that noth
ing in the instructions he had received
from Washington relative to the
presentation of the treaty in Bogota in
the slightest degree influenced the
adverse action upon the convention by
the Colombian senate.
The minister's advices continue to
set out the fact that the Colombians
are still hopeful of being able to nego
tiate a new treaty with the United
States in place of the defeated Hay
Herran treaty and, regretting the ad
verse action of their senate, are will
ing to extend to the United States
terms much more favorable than those
contained in that treaty. Promises
have gone so far as they indicate that
the present congress might be dis
solved and a new congress chosen by
order of the president and that the
latter would see to it that the new
congress would be favorable to any
canal treaty that he might submit for
its ratification.
Secretary Hay has promised to pre
sent General Reyes to President
Roosevelt. The date will depend upon
the president's pleasure. The secre
tary is satisfied as to the plenipoten
tiary powers possessed by General
I Reyes and will afford him every oppor
i tunity to discharge his mission. But
i the fact is not concealed that there is
no hope of success.
BOYCOTT ON UNION LABEL.
Action Taken by Citizens' Industrial
Association.
Dayton. O., Dec. 5.At a meeting of
the recently organized Citizens' Indus
trial Association of America, which'
includes in its basic principles an
open shop, no sympathetic strikes, no
restriction in the number of appren
tices and output, enforcement of the
law and opposition to the walking
delegate, a resolution was adopted ask
ing congress not to endorse the eight
hour bill when that document comes
up for action. Another resolution re
quests all employers' associations
throughout the country to affiliate with
the national body.
The determined stand to be taken
by the association is indicated in the
passage of a resolution instructing all
members of employers' associations
IfTlliated with the rational bo.ly not
to place the union labr! on any of their
output. It is proposed also to estab
lish a labor information bureau, where
will be kept a tabulated record of all
lawbreakers and undesirable work
men.
The present methods employed by
unions in conducting boycotts were
bitterly denounced.
Bryan Appeals From Decision.
New Haven, Conn., Dec. 5.Counsel
for William J. Bryan, executor of the
will of the late Philo N. Bennett, have
filed an appeal in the superior court
from the decision of Probate Judge
Cleaveland by which the sealed letter
giving $50,000 to Mr. Bryan and his
family was excluded from probate. It
will come up for a hearing at the Jan
uary term of the superior court.
McCarthy Gets One Year.
New York. Dec. 5.Timothy McCar
thy, the walking delegate of the House

I BRITISH WARSHIP WRECKED.
Vessel Worth Over a Million Will Be
a Total Loss.
i Vancouver, B. C, Dec. 5.H. M. S.
Flora went on the rocks in a dense
fog near Village Point, Denman isl
and.
The sea rushed in quickly through
the open scuppers and soon the after
part of the vessel was below water.
Much damage has been done at the
bow and the vessel, which is worth
$1,250,000, is believed to be a total
wreck.
It is believed that the wreck was
due to the navigating officer mistaking
a red spar buoy for a beacon on the
opposite side of the channel four miles
south. He tamed to port, thinking he
was avoiding this, instead of going to
starboard, as he should have done.
When he discovered his mistake the
cruiser was piled high on the rock.

lawlessness and declares that it is im
possible to control the turbulence of
the camp by ordinary peaceable meth
ods.
