WHO IS THE MAN?
A Duluth Fighter Believed to Be
the Party That Killed Fulljames.
A second letter was received here yesterday from authorities in Grand Forks describing the man, as near as possible, that is supposed to have killed George Fulljames in Grand Forks. It will be remembered that Fulljames and an unknown engaged in a prize fight at the above place on the 6th of September which resulted in Fulljames receiving a terrific blow, which knocked him senseless, in which condition he remained till death relieved him. From that time to this authorities have been anxious to clear up the mystery. At the present writing nothing definite has been discovered to lead to the identity of the murderer. A reward amounting to $750 has been offered. It was reported that the man who committed the act was from Duluth and the suspicions are strengthened from the fact that the man suspected was out of this city at that time, and has not been seen since the fatal night. No name has been made public and it is impossible to conjecture who the murderer is as so many prize fighters claim this city as their home. Those interested are remaining very quiet and will not divulge any information, in fact they deny that a Duluth fighter is even suspected. The Evening Herald has reason to believe that there is some foundation in this report and that at no distant day the culprit will be caught.

WOMEN VOTE
FOR PRESIDENT
For the first time in the history of this country an opportunity for women to publicly express their choice for president is offered. The method is unique, and will result in showing on Nov. 4 just what effect the woman’s vote will have on national affairs.
A manufacturer who has business relations with most of the prominent newspapers in the United States, proposes the plan, as follows:
Al women over 18 are entitled to one vote. The votes by states will be shown in the papers one every Wednesday and Saturday until Nov. 4. Women are requested to read more than one side of the question and act upon their own judgment. Write the name of candidate on a post card and write your own name and the address clearly, also city and state. On the lower left hand corner give the name of a banker or grocer who knows you.

This precaution is to prevent flooding the mail with fictitious votes. Names unknown to grocers or banker will be thrown out. Be very careful to write clearly, and an acknowledgement of the receipt of each vote will be sent to the fair voter. Send the postal to Postum Cereal Food Coffee company, Battle Creek, Mich. It is urged that every earnest woman will not hesitate to expend a penny to register her preferences at this most interesting period of national history.

This company have a national reputation and pledge their integrity and honor to report the vote exactly as received without fear or favor. A sworn statement of the final vote polled up to 7 p.m. Nov. 4 will be published Nov. 7, and the vote as it progresses will be shown every Wednesday and Saturday between now and then.

NO DOCTOR;
ENDS LIFE.
Minnesota Faith Curist, Who Fought Medical Aid, a Suicide.
Battle With Officer Followed
by Death With Gun.
Chatfield, Minn. (Special to The Herald) – The dead body of Ferdinand Mietzer, the faith cure believer, who barricaded his house against a deputy sheriff’s bringing a physician to attend to his sick children, and who shot at the officer, was found in a corn field, near his home, last night, where he had committed suicide by blowing off the top of his head with a shotgun.

The deputy went to Mietzer’s home to arrest him for not having his children attended by a doctor, and, while trying to force an entrance, was attacked by the old man. A daughter cut the deputy’s head open with a garden rake, but it was not thought that he was seriously injured.
The father himself is supposed to have disappeared early yesterday morning, and when he did not put in an appearance at his home last evening, a search was instituted, and the result was that his found his body in the corn field cold in death. He was 65 years old.

Some Football Town.
Duluth’s great reputation as a professional football town has attracted the attention of John McGovern’s strong East end eleven of Minneapolis. Dick Butler, who is manager of the Flour City crew, writes to Manager Larry Duby of the local city team that he would like to arrange a date for his machine in Duluth for Nov. 5. He thinks so well of his men that he is willing to play on a 60-40 or a 78-25 basis, expenses to be guaranteed for sixteen players, a manager and coach. Manager Butler says his team is made up entirely of men who have had experience e on college crews and that they deliver a finished article of the gridiron sport.

Manager Duby of the local eleven stated this morning that his team is booked to play Superior on Nov. 5, but that he would offer the East Ends a date later in the season.
HE also stated that the Marines of Minneapolis, who wanted everything in the Duluth team’s strongbox to come here and play next Sunday, and when they could not get it canceled, have been busy on the long distance telephone and expressed a willingness to come on terms named by the local crew. They even asked Manager Duby to cancel his game with West Duluth to give them a chance to show up here.

FEAR FOR SAFETY
OF LOST OFFICER
ON ISLE ROYALE
A searching party is still combing the forests of Isle Royale for John Snyder, Detroit, Mich., first officer of the United States lighthouse tender Amaranth, lost on the island while hunting Friday. Yesterday the crew of the coast guard patrol boat Cook made a record dun from Duluth to join in the hunt, but at 10 o’clock this morning Snyder was still lost, reported Lloyd Wingard, operator in the Inter-City Radio Telegraph station, who communicated with the search party by wireless, calling Radio Operator Corr of the Amaranth, which is anchored off Wright Island.

Forest rangers, game wardens and Isle Royale residents are helping the sailors search for their chief. Fear was expressed that Snyder might not be found alive. The island is forty-five miles long and nine miles wide, and is heavily timbered.

Urges ‘Point’ Be Left
In Natural State
Minnesota Point is a scene of beauty and should be left wild rather than be landscaped as a city park, Dr. A. J. Merrill of the Superior State Teachers college faculty told members of the Onaway club yesterday at a meeting in the clubhouse.
“The Point is almost constantly at war with the elements and is fierce in its beauty as it withstands the winds and waves,: he said. He compared it with the harbor at Erie, Pa.
“The south shore of Lake Superior, with its sandy beaches and shallow water, will become one of the most famous summer resorts in the country,” Dr. Merrill forecast.
He suggested that advertising of the Arrowhead country and territory surrounding Superior stress the educational and health values, as well as recreational advantages.

Superior Death
Quiz Continued
Questioning of 12-year-old Janet Lind in the shooting death of her father last Thursday is continuing today in Superior under the direction of District Attorney Any Borg.
Janet admitted to Borg and Police Chief Arthur Buchanan yesterday that she shot her father because “he was mean to me” and “made mother unhappy.”
The girl’s father, Clifford S. Lind, 39-year-old machinist for the Great Northern railroad, died in a Superior hospital about midnight Thursday, a few hours after the incident.
Borg said that Janet told him she had taken one of her father’s guns, a .22 caliber single shot rifle, hidden it under her housecoat, and walked into her father’s bedroom where he was asleep. She took the gun from under her housecoat, leveled it at her father, and shot him in the head, Borg said she told him.

The girl’s mother, Mrs. Irene Lind, had left for Pontiac, Mich., the previous Monday to visit her parents, accompanied by Anthony Galeski, 28, Dairyland, Borg reported.
Galeski and Mrs. Lind were arrested for questioning when they returned to Superior Saturday morning. Borg said authorities learned that Mrs. Lind and Galeski had been keeping company for about six months. Both are being held without charge in the Douglas county jail.
The statements obtained from Janet and her sister, Delores, 14, corroborated their earlier stories that Delores, also in the home at the time of the shooting, had not known that Janet intended to shoot her father.
Janet told Borg that she had planned her father’s death for the last month and about three weeks ago she tried to kill him by turning on the gas in the hot water heater while he slept, she said, but Lind awoke before the gas filled the house.
Borg said an inquest will be held later this week. A coroner’s jury, sworn in yesterday, was adjoiurned until the final inquiry after viewing Lind’s body.

Signs to Signal Start
of 1-Way Traffic Plan
Mayor Eugene R. Lambert said today that workmen will begin erecting one-way street signs on Second and Third streets at 6 a.m. Friday.
He said the one-way system will go into effect as the signs are erected. The project will be completed by nightfall, he added.
Lambert urged motorists using Second and Third streets to watch for the signs during the day on Friday and to obey them.
In addition to erecting signs, officials must reverse parking meters on the upper side of Second street. The meters are now tuned so they face cars traveling west, but beginning Friday traffic on Second street will be eastbound only.
Vehicles will be allowed to travel only westward on Third street. The one-way system on both streets begins at Mesaba avenue, continuing to 21st avenue east on Third street and 24th avenue east on Second street.
Lambert said he is considering abandonment of the no-parking restrictions on Second street. At present the ban doesn’t permit parking on the upper side from 7 to 9 a.m. and on the lower side from 4 to 6 p.m.
A parking ban on Fourth avenue west takes effect Friday. It prohibits parking from Second street to Mesaba avenue. The ban is already in effect below Second street.

Fat Nothing to Be Very Jolly About
The jolly, roly-poly individual is a myth because fat is nothing to be very jolly about, according to a spokesman for 21 area TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) Clubs this morning.
She was telling about the first fall rally of TOPS clubs in seven northeastern Minnesota counties, which was held Saturday in the Good Shepherd Catholic Church, 5901 Raleigh St.
The 275 participants had shed some 18,000 pounds since joining up with the various groups which have been organized within the last three-and-a-half years. The newest is just five weeks old.
Highlight of the day’s program was the queen crowning ceremony. Honors went to Mrs. Harold Pesonen, a member of Cloquet’s Can-Doers Club, who has dropped 114 pounds. Runner-up honors went to Mrs. Loraine Shearer, a member of the Duluth Heights Waste-Away Club, who has lost 93-1/2 pounds in eight months. Here to crown the queen and conduct a morning workshop was Mrs. Caroline Caze, Appleton, Wis., area supervisor.

Another feature of the day was the “big parade,” in which the 20 members who have shed from 50 to 114 pounds took part. To show off their new figures and their 1,263-1/2 pound total weight loss, the women first wore their “before TOPS” dresses – with padding – and then their modish present dresses.
Climaxing their get-together. The women dined on beef roast, potatoes, gravy (for those who dared), rolls, salad and relishes, cake, ice cream and coffee. This was their reward for skimping. on calories for a couple of days.
It was decided to have next fall’s rally in Cloquet with the Can-Doers Club as hostess group.
