WINTERS LAST GASP
Small Grain and Fruit Trees Be
Z lieved to Have Escaped Serious
Damage in S. Dakota.
Tales of Low Temperature, Snow
& and High Wind From Many
g. Northwestern Points.

Breoial to The Journal. .<t
Sioux Falls, s. D., April so.--When this
part OF the state.awoke yesterday morn
ing and saw the ground covered with q
sheet OF ice and snow, fears were en-
tertained that tSserious damage had been
done to fruit trees and vegetables. But
according to Investigations no serious
damage will result from the siege of
wintery weather.
Among the Ill effects OF the unseason-
able weather will be the retarding of the
work of plowing for corn and the COM
pletion of wheat seeding. which was far
advanced in the northern countries uf
South Dakota. 1t will be some days be-
fore farmers can again get into their
fields. Farming operations were unusually
work still further. !: ..
Wheat. which has appeared above the
ground In some ofGthe southern counties,
will, in the opinion of farmers. be bene-
fted by the liberal amount Of moisture
which fell during the storm. This grain,
they say, cannot be injured at this season
OF the year by freezing but in fact; needs
cool weather in order to make it ''stoor
in satisfactory manner.
Fl. s. Garter, the local voluntary weather
observer, reports that the lowest point
reached by the temperature during the
storm was Is degrees above zero. Not
withstanding that 1t reached degrees be-
low the freezing point, it is the general
opinion of fruit growers and farmers in
this part of the state that no serious in
jury will result from what appears to
havs been the last gasp OF winter:
Thousands of young fruit trees had only
recently been planted in this vicinity.
Those who have investigated say the
storm will prove a benefit instead Of in
jury to these, as the moisture will pack
the ground and soak it thoroly. just what
newly planted fruit trees require. -

London, April 30.-The Peking corre-
spondent of the Times says that in ad-
dition to her previous seven demands Rus
siar in another dispatch demands that the
navigation of the Liau river, which under
the inland steam navigation rules is open
to the vessels of all nations, shall be re-
stricted to vessels flying the Russian or
Chinese flags. She also demands that all
engagements made by Manchurian pro-
vincial authorities with Russia during the
Russian occupation shall be recognized by
China. .-~ --. = ~
The correspondent adds that Chi11a's re-
fusal of the Russian demands Is merely
the stereotyped one and does not change
the situation. Even If Russia withdraws
her recent demands the fact remains that
only force will prevent Manchuria from
becoming a Russian province. H."
Admiral A1exieff. the Russian COM
mander, has published a proclamation de-
claring that inasmuch as Russia withdrew
her troops from Mukdsn province on April
26 foreigners may now travel there with
out Russian passports, but In view of the

be misleading. .% ~. 4.
The correspondent confirms the state
ments made by M. Plancon, the Russian
cnarge aHa1fes, TO a Japanese corfeSpon-
dent to the effect that Japanese, English
and Americans had gone to Manchuria
with political object and that Russia s
attempt to exclude them was all act of
self-defense. and that the remonstrances
of the powers were likely to result in the
annexation of Manchuria by Russia He

jury Fixes His Punishment for Mur-
- der of Gov. Goebel at Life
-. Imprisonment. /. :

Frankfort, KY, April S0.-1n the third
trial of James Howard for the killing of
Governor William Goebel, over three years
ago, the jury at 1920 a. m. to day reported
that it could not agree. Judge Cantrell
then sent the jury back with instructions
to. remain until an agreement was
reached. 1t was 10:5S when the jury again
came into the court room and handed to
Sheriff Jeffers a sealed verdict which was
passed up to Deputy Clerk: James who
read 1t as follows: '. '''
r I'VE. the jury. find the defendant guilty
and fix his punishment at life imprison-
ment."
Howard was not visibly affected by the
verdict.
The jurors took only one ballot on the
question of guilt or innocence, all twelve
voting for verdict Of guilty.
The disagreement was as to the extent
of punishment and upon this question nine
voted for the death penalty and three TO:
a life sentence. On the next ballot two
of those who voted for life sentence came
over with the nine.
Juror Burkes then announced that he
would under no circumstances vote for the
death penalty and a verdict for life SEN
tence was afterward agreed upon.

Story Of Cabinet Meeting to Be
Held in st. Louis Is a
Canard.
From a star Core sp ondent.


st. Louis, Mo-, April 30.-The Russo
Chinese complication has been sadly over
worked by the American press for the
past ten days and 1t is the judgment of
the president and other high officials that
this overworking has served no good pur-
pose. either in this country or In Europe.
It has developed feeling Of disquietude
In America and has caused Russia and
Germany to laugh at us. On the highest
authority it may be said that the situa-
tion at no time has justified the extraVa-s
CANT news articles published about it un-
der New York and Washington date lines.
The st. Louis papers yesterday were full
Of stories about cabinet meetings to be
held here to-day and stated badly that
the situation had become. very grave and
was source of worry to the president
and his cabinet. This is not true. There
will be no cabinet meeting in st. Louis
nor anywhere else until after the presi-
dents return to Washington in June. So

situation Is of a character that will add
materially to his reputation as a diplomat.

tails as Secretary Hay himself. Neither
Is worrying or indulging in the fear that
Russia contemplates anything that will
cause break between her and any other
great power. American insistence on the
preservation of the integrity of China and
the "open door, has, no doubt, had it's
effect upon Russian diplomacy, but this
effect has been secured without friction
or any possible chance for embarrassment
to any of the parties concerned. Owing
to the gross exaggeration of the situation
In this country neither the Russian nor
the German minister felt that he would be
justified in coming to ST. Louis with the

probably as serious an Incident as will
be developed from the Russo Chinese con-

Further tests are to be made this sum
