VICTIMIzE A MAYOR
He Starts to "Bust" a Game
and Then Sneaks Home

Special to The Globe
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., June THE
mayor of the little town of CoIman,
situated north of Sioux Falls. in Moody
county, has been made the victim of
practical jokers. The mayor recently
issued an order prohibiting gambling.
and has been extremely diligent in
seeing that the order was strictly en-
forced.
At midnight the jokers secured a
telephone spindle and, giving it a turn,
shouted, Ten on the red" Twenty
five on the black" and similar terms
familiar in games of chance These
shouts were repeated at regular inter-
walls. While this was going on one
of. the Jokers telephoned to the mayor
and informed him that a wheel of for
tune was being operated on the street.
This statement was followed up by the
announcement that the town marshal
could not be found. The mayor, of
course, was indignant.
You wait until get there" he said.
Il will bust that game in fifteen Sec
onds and the marshal will lose his star
in the morning.
He dressed hurriedly and, seizing his
repeating shotgun, rushed to the place
where he believed his orders were be-
ing violated in so brazen a manner.
He expected to fill the town jail with
''tin horns" but when he discovered
what sort of a ''wheer' was being op-
Grated he returned home and to bed
! by way Of the back alleys.

SEEKS TO ABATE
Big BILLBOARDS
State Art Society Is Preparing
to Conduct a Crusade
Against Them

The State Art society is about to be-
gin campaign against the unsightly
billboard, and, if the laws now on the
statute books are not adequate to cor
rect the evil. will urge upon the next
session OF the legislature the enact
ment Of legislation designed to remedy
the existing conditions.
The governing board of the Art so-
ciety will meet in room Is at the state
capitol on Thursday afternoon at 2:3O
o'clock. and it is said that a resolution
has been already drafted for presenta-
ton to the board bearing on the ques-
tion Of the billboard nuisance.
An agent of the governing board has
already interviewed Corporation At
torney ]. G. Michael and invited his CO.
operation in the work of putting the
Objectionable billboards out of COM
mission. The corporation attorney is
said to have told the agent of the So
ciety that the city ordinances simply
regulate billboards, specify the proper
tions, distance from the sidewalk line,
etc, and provide for a bond to reim-
burse the public for any injury sus-
tanned. The city ordinances, however.
give him no authority to proceed
against the owners of billboards who
violate the esthetic sense.
PowerIess Under State Laws
The state laws apparently provide
against immodest display on biIlboards.
but these, too, are deficient as regards
boards which are offenders against
good taste and obstruct the view of the
landscape from carriage or street car.
The plan of campaign to be waged by
the Art society is not yet divulged, but
the society promises to begin an agita-
ton which it hopes will result in some
definite proceeding against the bill
board nuisance.
The St. Paul Civic league, which
some years ago began an agitation
against billboards disfguring the land
scape in st. Paul, has done nothing OF
late and the billboard nuisance has at
tanned dimensions which have at last
appealed to the State Art society to
begin work against it.
At its Thursday meeting the gov
erning board will further consider "A
plan for teaching art in the rural
schools Of the state. At it's last meet
ing the matter was considered, but ac-
tion was postponed.
Mrs. Robert Seymour, of Duluth, re-
Gently appointed to fill a vacancy on
the board, will meet with the governing
board for the first time at it's Thursday
meeting.

Throughout the day deputies and
soldiers searched the hills for union

Der of men confined in the bullpen to
over 200, and tonight twenty-four of
them were placed aboard a special
train and deported from the district.
A guard of deputies rode out of the
district with them. The men were res

district: Cripple Greek, 8; Victor, g.;

Compelled to Resign
Three additional city officers were
forced to resign their offices today,
namely Chief of Police William Gra-

Justice of the Peace Charles Harring-

finding rife and shotgun concealed
behind large icebox. Subsequently
they went to union headquarters and
overturned everything in an effort to
find the union records. Their efforts

Secretary Clarence Hamlin. of the

in the killing of MCGEE and Davis at
the mass meeting in Victor yesterday

No hanging will take place, however, in
all probability unless resistance is
offered by word or action of the pris-

LIVELY TIME AT ELECTION.
Contest for an Office in England That
Cost the Candidates Very
Heavily.

Although the laws Of Great Britain ar.
exceedingly strict regarding the expendi-
ture of money at elections, candidates for
office find ways of approaching the voters
that are by no means inexpensive, says
a London paper. The town meeting idea
gone to seed was illustrated in the city
of Blackburn, England, recently, at an
election of a trustee of the Philanthropic
Burial society.
The office is worth 81 200 year for life
and attracted the ambition of two candi-
dates, who spent over 5000 in bringing
voters to the pools. The society has 400
900 members living in four counties and
the election is by show of hands. On the
appointed day $4,000 voters assembled
to make the selection. The election pre-
sented a remarkable spectacle The
streets were blocked by all manner OF
vehicles bringing in voters and 20 rail.

WE NUMBER MANY PEOPLES
Interesting Figures About Immigra-
ton and the Countries
Contributing.

A recent consular report gives inter-
esting immigration figures. From 1918
to 1885 years-the number of immi-
grants was 81 ,265, 1923, or the equivalent
of one-fourth of the total population to-
day. Of all this number the Unit
ed Kingdom, which includes the
heavy Irish inflow, contributed 80 per
cent; Germany contributed "a per
cent; Austria-Hungary, Italy, Russia
and Poland furnished 81 per cent. But
these last named countries in 1903 fur
nished 6S per cent. of the immigration.
Europe has sent us SO per cent. of our
immigration, the western hemisphere
Az per cent. and China and all other
Asiatic countries, Oceanica and Africa.
21a per cent. The heaviest immigration
of Irish in one year was in 1858. when
162649 came. The next largest from
Ireland was in 1888, when 1888 came.
Last year only 300 Irish came. The
highest figures for the English were
1894 in 1882. In 1854 PIE, 009 Germans
came and in 1882 ESQ, $50. From 1866 to
1873 the German immigration averaged
10000 a year. Last year it was only
40,0S6. Its decline in the last ten years
has been marked. The incoming Ital-
ians last year reached their highest fig
ures, being 230,622. They passed the
100000 mark in 1900 and what numbers
they may attain can only be guessed at
for the tide is running high and chiefly
from southern Italy and the islands.
Last year the Russian immigration
amounted to 136 ,093, while from Austria
Hungary there came COLL The i'm
migration from the Scandinavian PENN
sula and the northern parts of Europe,
which we have always considered the
most desirable, has so fallen off as to
cease to be much Of factor in the

NAYS OF BIRD CATCHING.
Odd Contrivances Employed in Va
rious Lands for Taking
Winged Game

In Scotland there is way of taking
ptarmigan which seems so simple that
it is hardly credible that any birds can
be so captured. Yet reliable witnesses
have spoken of it as successful, says the
Chicago Daily News. A place on the
mountain side is chosen where ptarmigan
resort and the snow lies sufficiently
deep. With an old wine bottle, held
neck foremost, holes are made in the
snow and the bottom of each hole is
filled with grain. The ptarmigans lean
over to peck it out and find themselves
0verbalanced and caught head down.
ward in the snow, unwilling prisoners,
but unable to use their wings in get
ting out again. In Siberia wild geese
are regularly taken in pitfalls like these,
but dug in the earth, instead of being
poked in the snow. The pits are dug
on grassy places where the geese assem-
BILE, and are shaped like large flower
pots, round and gradually narrowing
to the bottom. Bats of grain prove
irresistible and the geese tumble head
long in and then, being unable to ex-
tend their wings, find hatthey cannot
get out again.
What used to be known as low
belling" was formerly a common sport
in England and an effective method of
capturing all sorts of birds which roost
on the ground, from larks to cartridges.
Boys still sometimes anuse themselves
with it in the rural districts of England
and the peasants of Spain and the south
of Europe make a business of it The
only necessary apparatus is large bell,
like a cowbell or a dinner bell, and a
intern with reflector to cast a
bright ray of light on the ground. The
fowler turns out on dark nights and
walks the fields ringing the bell steadi-
ly and searching the ground in front
with the lantern. The noise and the
light. or the two combined, have such
an effect in dazzling or terrifying the
birds that they may be picked up in
the hand.
Catching gulls and other sea fowl by
baited hook and line is barbarous
practice which is sometimes resorted
to by sailors. The same method was
employed in former times for catching
herons. A long lineo of silk, with strand
of wire twisted in, was fixed to stone
at one end and to hooks at the other.
The hooks were baited with live roach
or dace. The bait was then put out in
shallow water, where the birds seek
their food. either N a stream or at
the edge of a pond. When the heron
pouched the bait the hooks lodged in
his gullet and the strand of wire in
the line prevented it from being Bit
ten through.
