The club acknowledged gratefully its
debt Of obligation to the reciprocity bu-,
reau. Last year the club attempted to
send delegates to the state federation
meeting; they drove a long distance to the
main line Of railroad, only to find all
trains stopped by Washout. The club
was represented, however, at the Black
Hills Federation meeting in the fall.
This club has the desire to do work for
municipal Improvement but finds the feel
ing of lack of permanency in the town
barrier.
The Ladies' History Club of Sioux Falls
has had many agreeable variations to it's
program on France. There were three
musical days and the club was entertained
at All Saints school one afternoon, the
faculty furnishing literary and musical
program. Frank Hutchins, an artist Of
reputation, gave lecture on american

explanation OF her own cleo
ton as recording secretary. She Is d
woman of very methodical ideas as well
as very accurate memory. For her own,
convenience she indexed her copy of the
minutes Of the Milwaukee biennial and
at one of the board meetings she was
always ready with exact information
tion and the board. This was so
noticeable that in the spring Mrs. Fox,
the recording secretary, wrote and re-
quested her as personal favor to pre-
pare for her a complete index Of the
minutes of the past two years for use at
the Los Angeles meeting. This Mrs. Coad
did. and it was so useful that it at once
singled her out as the woman for the
Office.

meats in a dish of cold water over the fire
and bring them quickly to boil. Then drain
and rinse. The skins can be rubbed from
the almonds, but sharp knife must be used

the hardest nuts to blanch. The best way
is to score the chestnut shells in three or
four places and then put them. into a frying
pan with butter. teaspoonful of butter
will be needed to every pint Of the nuts.
Shake the pan over the fire until the butter
is melted, then put the pan in the oven for

CENSORSHIP IN

Subject Discussed at Length
in the Senate
Greeley SAYS Press Is Freezer

Entirely

Washington, Jan. SO.-wheh the de.
bate on the Philippine tariff bill was
resumed in the senate yesterday af.
ternoon, the Manila dispatch relating
to what General Wheaton had said of
DR.. Schurman and also the question
OF censorship Of press dispatches was
again discussed by several senators.
Mr.. Dubois asserted there was cen.
sorship. It was contended by the op.
position that a press censorship did
exist in the Philippines and that cop.
les Of every news dispatch filed with
the cable company was fled with the
military authorities. That It was
maintained, constituted virtual cen.
sorship. Mr.. Lodge said that he had
called upon the secretary Of war and
had been assured by him that there
was no censorship of press dispatches
in the Philippines. Now" said Mr..
Lodge. Il give my authority. Let the

MY statement is made upon my
responsibility as a senator" replied
MFR. Dubois. "Our committee (the

MIR. Beveridge presented a letter
from General Greeley, chief signal Of
fieer Of the army, portions OF which
are as follows:
Censorship in the Philippine 10.
lands has been removed entirely be.
tween these islands and Europe and
America, save in the case of code

ing no standing. The press is entirely

ship is maintained over messages in
the Philippine archipelago and to ad.
jacent points where insurgent troops
and agents are in active hostility
against the United States. Press
messages are not censored to any
place in Europe or America, but only
to points where insurgents are ac-
lively engaged, through juntas or other
agencies, such as in Hong Kong or
Singapore"
Mr.. Beveridge thought General
Greeley's letter ought to settle the
question OF the censorship Of press
dispatches.
Mr. Tillman said he desired "to
draw a few draughts from the fount Of
liberty" but postponed his remarks
upon the historical subject which had
been broached until today.
Mr.. Hoar suggested that the senate
now might have a little discussion
Of the character of Mary, Queen of

adjourned.
The house yesterday adjourned az
