HEADING OFF FALSE RUMoRS
Soldiers Home Board Takes Decided
stand Against False Stories
by Inmates.

HOT SPRINGS, s.. D., April 14.-(Special.)
The State Soldiers Home board has been
in session about a week and transacted a
large amount of important business, prin-
cipal of which was the election of Captain
Lucas successor, Hon. T. M. Goddard OF
Sully county. The board also let the con-
tract for the construction of three cottages
for old veterans and their families. There
are already two such cottages on the home
grounds, and the recent legislature pro-
vided for the construction of three more.
R. K. Haufsauss Of Canton was the sue
cessful bidder and has arrived to accept
the contract. He will have them completed
within two months. The board also made
arrangements for having an additional new
boiler put in for the steam heating Of the
home.
They considered the practice of some
members of the home of incorporating the
home management and the board, to the
serious detriment of the institution, and
while in session a case came to their at
tention of a rumor that was credited as
coming from a member Of the home who was
on a furlough at Hill City, wdo was quoted
as saying that the board had decided that
the entire pension Of member Of the home
above "a would be held out by the home
management hereafter. This story caused

be held, at which 1t is said the board was
roundly denounced and the peace and order
of the institution was sorely interrupted.
President Shanafelt got the boys together
in the chapel and gave them a good. faith
erly talk and told them the story was
groundless and that the board had never
thought of such a thing, and said that here
after any member who should be found
guilty of aiding or abetting in the circula-
ton of false rumors about the management
Of the home would be promptly discharged
from the home.
The board then notified the Hill City vet
eran that they wanted him to appear forth
with to answer the charges of his circulat-
ing false reports, and that IL he failed to
respond to their call he would be promptly
discharged. He failed to come as requested
and his name was erased from the roll as
"dishonorably discharged" while another
who helped circulate the story, but was not
a member at the time, was blacklisted and
cannot gain admission hereafter. The board
says 1t is just such conduct as that that has
caused them so much trouble and that
hereafter they will not harbor such med
dlesome men IL the know It.

Bench UphoIds Panel, order
ing strict Investigation.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, April 1.-THE
grand jury is investigating the so-called
smuggling cases In which officers of the
United States navy and other prominent
men are involved, Notwithstanding the in
structions which 1t is stated District At
torney Pettinglll has received from the de-
partment OF justice at Washington. not to
present Information to the grand jury this
term. The press and the natives have
practically demanded an investigation, in
asmuch as last term a native merchant,
named Ricardo Amado was sentenced to a
years Imprisonment and 1ned $500 for
having contraband liquor in his possession.
This afternoon the grand jury came into
court and asked for information. The fore
man said:
II has come 20 our knowledge. that GER
tain cases OF smuggling have occurred. We
have asked the district attorney about the
matter and he refused to bring up the
matter. alleging that he had received GER
II. we have a right to information in spite
OF the district attorneys refusal.
Judge Holt had prepared a written
charge. in part as follows:
When you were e~mpanelled at the be-
ginning OF the term you swore that you
WOULD make a dlligent inquiry into, and a
true presentment make, of such matters
given to you or which might otherwise
come 10 your knowledge ouching viola
lions of the statutes of the United States
and that you would make no presentment
through envy, hatred, favor, affection OF
reward or through hope thereof. You
could not, II you desired, escape from the
obligations of your oath by needing the in
structions Of any one.
The honored president of the United
States could pardon but he could not In
t%erfere. II you believe any one has given
instructions tending to prevent the fullest
investigation into the commission of a
crime in the United States and the return
OF an Indictment IL the evidence so war
rants, then you should be inspired by an
additional determination to do your duty,
The court has knowledge of the instruc.
lions to which the district attorney al
ludes. 1t Is proper to say that 1t Is my
opinion that there has been no intention
OF encroaching upon your sworn duty.
The testimony submitted last December
regarding the smuggling cases pointed tc
a dozen prominent officials of the navy
army and insular government and citizens
being implicated in the charges.
