Dispatches from Warroad, Minn., ti
says estimates of the loss of life in "
Ci
the forest tires which started on
?
Friday wiped out several small q
towns and are still rairine ranee all
the way from Hfty to two hundred. f(
The property loss will amount well Ci
into the millions. )j
The fire zone covers an area ol
eighty-five mi lee, from Warroad to v
Stratton, the first station east of
Rainey river, and in width about 1;
thirty miles, covering all the terri- g
tory betwee Red Lake and the Lake n
of the Woods. The fires have wiped n
out the villages of Beaudette, Spooner,
Gracetown, Pitt, Myron and Maicolm.
, n
The largest property loss occurred
at Beaudette and Spooner, which is s<
practically one community, being 1;
seperated by a narrow river. The 0
other towns consisted of only a few
small buildings. There were hund- r
reds of homes destroyed in the same r
territory and as there are no roadH g
in the district save for the trails t]
through the bush, it is feared that f
many lives have been lost that will n
not be reported for weeks..
The State of Minnesota is spuring n
no expense to check the fire. The t
State fire warden is mustering every f'
man he can procure, and he is in- s
structed to use every possible means t
at his command, regardless of cost. >1
Every man available is fighting the ?
fires, but because of the moss which P
covers the ground for a depth of t
from one to two feet, it seems almost
impossible to do anything. c
The missing include some two h
thousand and residents of Beaudette, s
ttiiu fin una uQjHCi'ni i6rn* ?
tory, some of whom are dead, but v
the moat of whom are safe in Rainey
River and adjacent towns on the o
Canadian side of the line, The most I
serious aspect of the missing in d
eludes the homesteaders and far- P
merg in the bush, of whom abso- c
lutely nothing can be learned for
some time, as searching parties do .
not dare penetrate the still smoking
forests through which the cy- J
clone fire has swept.
The^e are three cases of typhoid
fever among the refugees of International

Almost without exception they are I

have borne up under the terrible '
Strain with wonderful fortitude and
' all stories from the fire district are
that the women and net the m<m tl
were the heroes. J
When the refugees fled in panic for t
the freight train that bore them from K
Rainey River to International Falls. '?

the cars were choked so that standing

It may be possible that the death

to Know How He Made All His
Money.
United States Senator Nelson W.
.ldricli's wealth is one ol' the fopks
iscussed in the campaign in Rhode
aland. He is many times a millionire
and has become rich while in
tie public service.
Voters in both parties wan?, to
now how he got his money. lie
ill lie called upon to explain, even
hough he may lie finished with polios.
Should he again declare his
andidacy for the senate, the presure
for an answer will be still
Lronger.
When he entered public life his
ortune was very moderate. In Trent
years his annual outlays are beeved
to have been as much as the
urn total of his salary for thirty
ears and more in congress.
Besides the expenses of rearing a
trge family, which would have conumed
his stated income, he has
laintaincd a sumptuous establishlent
at Warwick Neck, where the
orce at work on the grounds has
eon at times one hundred and'fifty
len.
He has kept in commission every
eason a fine steam yacht. His yeary
expenses are estimated at $250.00.
Ex-CIovornor James H. Higgins has
ej?eatedly challenged Senator AldIch
to explain his wealth. The
round for this demand has been
hat a public servant is accountable
or the acquisition of money by
leans that appear abnormal.
If his millions were gained legitiaately,
Mr. Aldrich, according to
his view, can have no good reason
or not setting himself right by frank
taitement. On the other hand, if
hey represent payment, directly or
ndiirectly, for uonspicuous service
ver a long period for trusts and
Totected interests, the public is cnitied
to know it.
Many of his own party think that,
onsidering all the talk his wealth
as made, he ought to justify hime

BRYAN SAYS
ABOUT HIS REFUSAL. TO SPEAK
FOR JAS. O. DA HUM AN.
Democratic Nominee for CJovornor of
Nebraska, but Who Is Supporttnl
by All Liquor Men.
Bryan has been severely criticised
for saying he would not speak
for the man who ?us nominated in
the Democratic primary of Nebraska
for Governor. Some of those who
abused Bryan for refusing to support
the nominee, have bolted the
Democratic party themselves in more
ways than one, and have no righ's
to criticise anybody. But let us see
what Bryan says about his not supporting
the nominee of his party
in his own State and the reasons he
cives for his refusal to support him.
In answer to a request from the
State Committee to make some
speeches for the Democratic candidiate
for United States Senator and
[State officers Mr. Bryan replied as
follows: I
"I am just leaving for Missouri,
:>nd shall be absent for about a
month, campaigning in Missouri.
Kansas, Iowa, Indiana and Illinois.
After tha' I shall be at lihuty to
speak for Mr. Hitchcock, the Democratic
candidate for Congres^, and
for the State ticket in Nebraska
"In speaking for the State ticket,
however, 1 shall not be able to present
any arguments in favor ol tha
election of Mr. Dahlntan. His position
on. the liquor question makes
that impossible. I regret this exceedingly,
for he has been a political
and personal friend for 20 years,
and it would give me pleasure to
speak for him if I could endorse the
policy for which he stands, but hi*
has chosen to make the liquor qu<?sthe
paramount issue and makes jis
appeal on that issue.
"In spite of the fact that the last
Democratic State Convention vo'ed
down a declaration against coun'y
option by a vote of 638 to 202, ho
says that he will veto a county option
bill if passed, and in spite of the
fact that the State Convention endorsed
the eight o'clock closing law
by a vote of 710 to 163, he announces
that he will sign a bill repealing
it if such a bill is passed.
He is making his appeal on non-partisan
lines, with the liquor question
as the sole issue. His courage is to
I HA OAmmonHiul 1 So o *
. WW vv*m?mv.(wv. II. 10 oil uuut oi *xy
| of making a campaign, although it
compels him to seperate, himself
from friends who do not agree wuh
ihim, and to rely for speech making
upon those Democrats and Republicans
who take this view of the sub!
ject.
j "Possibly it is just as well t
have the issue clearly presented, so
that it may be settled this yepr in
stead of two years hence. Trouhlesome
as the question is now, it would
i be even more embarrassing in 1912,
j when we have a Presidential election
on hand. If Mr. Dahlman is
elected it will be a declaration by
I the voters of the State against coun|
ty option and against the 8 o'clock
: closing law. In other words, the
voters now have an opportunity to
! decide whether the State shall go
j backward or forward on the liquor
question. To present arguments in
jfavor of going backward would not
| only contradict what I have Bald
on the subject, but would embarrass
me in the fight that I expect to make!
hereafter to save our party from the
odium of being the representative of
the liquor interests."

CAUGHT AFTER MANY YEARS.
Negro Man Will Hang for Murder
Nine Years Ago.
Wednesday in the superior court
at Douglas, Ga., Jake DeVauss, colored,
who nine years ago killed Charley
McKinnon while plowing in the
field by shooting him with a Winchester
rifle, was given a trial and
the jury very promptly convicted
him of murder without recommendation
to mercy, which means that the
death sentence will be Imposed upon
him. Judge Parker will pass sentence
on him later during the term.
DeVauss was a tenant in 1901 on
the form of Mr. James McKinnon,
and became enraged with the mule
he was plowing, whereupon he left
his mule, went to his house, got his
Winchester rifle and returning finii

Now comes the remarkable announcement,
says a Washington dispatch,
that the President das pardoned
Edward A. Boyle, John K.
Coyle, Patrick J. Hennesesy and
Thomas Kehoe, four former government
employes, who were serving
sentences for connection with the
$2,000,000 sugar trust frauds in
New York.
This action has raised in the
minds of many the following query:
Did the fart't that these men hoped
for early pardons deter them from
fully exposing the men "higher up?"
By placing steel springs in 17
pairs of scales the trust robbed the
government of more than $2,000.000.
and after being exposed admitted
the crime by returning the
plunder. The secretary and a few
minor employes were sent to prison,
and four of them have now been
pardoned. The multi-millionaire
sugar barons into whose pockets the
$2,000,000 would have gone had not
the crime been disf-overed, have gone
scot free.
Democrats and progressive Republicans
sought in the last congress *o
bring about a Congressional investiivn
t inn nf ?K/\ ? ' '
gmavu ui ulr llttUtl, . :IU' 11 1*1diculous
for the administration to
assume that a few $ i 5 a week sugar
weighers would steal $2,000,000 for
someone else and lay themselves liable
for penitentiary sentences, unless
they had been bribed by the
men or agents who would seeure the
proceeds of the fraud.
President Taft himself prevented
the Congressional investigation by
recommending against it in his annual
message to congress. He took
the view that an investigation might
give "immunity" to the men high
up.
Rev. Henry T. Raney. of Illinois,
led the tight for the probe of the
swindle, contending that instead of
assuring "immunity" for the big
th'eves, an investigation would only
bring out the Identity.
It developed that the President recommended
against investigation of
the 6ugar trust's crime upon the advice
of 1'nited States Attorney General
George C. Wickersham.
Mr. Wickersham was particularly
qualified to give the President advice
and suggestions in matters concerning
the sugar trust. At the
time of his appointment to the position
of attorney general an office
which places him in complete and
absolute charge of the prosecutions
of trusts, he was a sugar trust attorney.
I.Mr. Wickersham and Henry W.
Taft, the brother of President Taft.
were members of the firm of Strong
& Cadwallader, of New York. For
services rendered the sugar trust Attorney
Henry W. Taft received $26.750,
which he turned over to Strong
& Cadwallader, and the last thing
Mr. Wickersham did before starting
in to represent the people was to
draw down and pocket his share of
the sugar trust fee.
KEEPS IN THE LIMELIGHT.
Teddy Take a Trip in a Flying Machine
at St. L?>uis.
At St. Louie, Mo., Theodore Roosevelt
Tuesday made an aeroplane
flight as the passenger of Archibald
Hoxsey, and said it was the finest
sensation he ever experienced. He
traveled twice around the aviation
field at Kinloeh park in three minutes
and twenty seconds. He waves
his hand at the thousands of
tators. much to the discomfiture of
the aviator, who remarked the Colonel
might hit a controlling cord.
When the machine alighted easily a
few feet from the starting pluce, a
mighty ehout of applause went up.
Hoxsey, a Wright aviator, said
that Mr. Roosevelt made a good passenger,
except that he enjoyed the
trip so much that Hoxsey was afraid
the Colonel would fall out or inter|
fere with the engine, which was
roaring at his side. The Colonel
waved his hands at the crowd so vigorously
that Hoxsey called out to
him:
"Keep your hands on the rail,
Colonel."

According to Judge Parker Hoo.scvelt

that he will not be a candidate for

Thursday.

has b?en advised by his friends*
that in this State the tide has set
in so strongly against the new nationalism
with himself as the steward
of the public welfare In 1912 and
thence on for the balance of low
life, that he can only hope to sa\<y
the situation for himself and his.
ticket by announcing that he will not
be a candidate in 1912, and. further,
I am impormod that he has agreed
to make such a statement within the*
next two or three days
"There can be no doubt of his
candidacy In the mind of any tu m
who has watched his coarse, carefully
read his speeches, and noted hit*
almost brutal treatment of President
Taft.
"From my knowledge of and experience
with him. I have no hesitation
in saying that while assurance
will l>? given by him that he will
not be a candidate in 1912, liis purpose
is to deceive the people of til''*
State in the hope that they will elect
his ticket. That done, he will accept
the result as a command by the people
of the State that he be its candidate.
Then, with the political machine
under his control, nothing cart
prevent him from sectoring the delegates
from this State.
"There is one sure way and only
one, to avoid MexIcunUing this country,
and that is to defeat his ticket
now."
Judge Parker has been < riticisintc
Roosevelt's recent utterances witn
considerable severity, espe< ially his
references to the judiiciary of tW
country. He has declared that the
"new nationalism" stuff is an Insidious
assault on the constitution
and the present forms of government.
The judge has volunteered his services
in behalf of the Democratic
ticket in New York, and will follow
the ex-president in his speaking tour
through the State, speaking in reply
to Roosevelt's appeals for support
of his man, Stiinson.
That there is some reason for
Judge Parker's opinion based on information
he claims to have, that
Roosevelt has agreed to ?li?elaiiu intention
to run in 1912 for the presidency
is indicated by the situation
in New York. A few days after the
Roosevelt convention at Saratoga hail
done ite> master's bidding, Charles
H. Young, former president of the
Republican club in New York announced
publicly his determination,
after 27 years of party regularity
to vote the Democratic ticket.
A few days later it became known
that out of a group of 2 8 regular
Republicans at the Union Leagut*
club, 25 declared that they would
vote the Democratic ticket this year,
because of Roosevelt's domination of
the Republican situation, it is now
stated that large numbers of other
life long Republicans are following
the example of these early bolters,
and have determined to vote lbt>
Democratic ticket this year for th?
Orst time in their lives.
The reason, of course, is 'he spectre
of Itooseveltisni that stands behind
Henry I,. Stimson. the Republican
candidate. In fact, there in
little opposition to Stimson among
the Republicans, but many of thru*
believe, like Judge Parker, that the
time to put Roosevelt ism out of business
once for all is now.
The gossip in New York political
circles has been for several days that*
George R. Sheldon, th< man who
icted as treasurer of the Republican
national committee in the Taft campaign,
and who has always been
Republican, has determined to bolt
Stimson. The New York Evening
i'ost says editorially:
"That Mr. Roosevelt, who never
lolted bis party in bis life, no mat
er liow great the rascal who headed
lie ticket, Hhould be the one to caueo
no re Republicans to bolt their ticket
in this State than anybody since
Maine, is one of those interesting
urns so fascinating. Charles II.
foung, the ex-president of the Relubllcan
club, who has bolted, has
ipenly given his reasons for his acion.
"George R. Sheldon, the treasurer
>f the Republican national commit
ee, and president of the Union
>ague Club, does not deny the re>orts
that he intends to \ote for Dlx,
hough refusing to make any statcnent
for publication."
Root's endorsement of rftimpson,
he Republican candidate for Ccv?rnor
of New York, is not calculated

eformers in the Republican party In
that Slate.
