MRS. STEWART AFTER DIVORCE
Has Bought Home in Which to Serve
Her "Term of Six Months"

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., June 20.-The
latest person of prominence to join
the divorce colony of this city, is Mrs.
William Rhinelander Stewart, socf-
ETY. leader of New York city, who, In
due time, will apply to the divorce
courts of South Dakota for relief from
matrimonial bonds.
Every effort was made to prevent the
knowledge of her arrival from reach
ing the public, and especially the news
paper men, and she doubtless retired
for her first nights rest in Sioux Falls
firm in the belief that, outside OF
chosen few, no knowledge of her ar
rival in the divorce Mecca had reached
the public.
Mrs. Stewart was accompanied by
two stylisnly dressed women when
she arrived in the city. 1t is believed
they came through with her from New
York, but who they are could not be
ascertained. Newspaper men are not
permitted to interview Mrs. Stewart,
but it is learned that she has engaged
the services of United States Senator
Kittredge as he attorney.
1t is also stated on good authority
that instead of remaining at the no.
tel, she will, in the near future, pur-
chase a dwelling house, thus following
the example set by Mrs. Flora Blgelow
Dodge, another prominent New Yorker,
and will occupy it during the time she
is serving her term of six months.

LIFE TERM FOR KARATSkY.
Wisconsin Murderer Feigned. Insanity
to Escape Prison Cell.

GRAND RAPIDS, Wis, June 20
Judge Charles NJ Webb sentenced ABB
raham Karatsky to a life term In the
state prison at Waupun. Karatsky
was found guilty of murder in the first
degree. He put in a plea of insanity
and hoped to get clear of the prison,
and at the close of his testimony IL
looked much as though he would es-
cape. His attorney w. j. Conway,
brought out much testimony to the
effect that ever since Karatsky had
lived in the town of Saratoga and also
in this city, he had acted strangely
and appeared to most of the witnesses
as insane.
Since the jury found him sane ka-
ratsky appears bright and talks freely
with everyone, but before and during
the trial he wore an absolutely blank
expression. He said to the sheriff, al
ter the jury found him sane: now
Won can let me walk around in the cor
ridors because 1 am no longer crazy.
He shows no regret nor remorse
fine crime he committed and still in
sists that he did the right thing when
he shot Ida Finkelstein. He killed
ner in cold blood on March ~ last,
because he had a quarrel with her the
evening before.

DETERMINE WATER RIGHTS
COLLEGE PLACE PEOPLE BEGIN
TWO BIG ACTIONS IN THE
SUPERIOR COURT
One Directed at C.. w. Phillips and
Wife, and the Other at Various
Chinese Gardeners

Seeking to establish their rights to
the waters of Garrison creek, one hun
dred property owners of College Place
began suit against Charles w. Phillips
and his wife, Nellie S. Phillips, pro-
prietors of Dreamland Park, just west
of Walla Walla, and another suit
against Reinhold Harris, Josephine
Harris and two Chinese firms, Quong
Sing company and the Hop Sing Thong
company, yesterday.
The suit directed against Mr.. and
Mrs. Phillips is similar to the one
commenced last year in which the
Phillips are alleged to be diverting
he waters of Garrison creek in an
Unlawful manner by damming up the
tream and forming an artificial lake,
causing the water to evapOrate and
Harrises and the two Chinese firms
the plaintiffs al!ege that the HAIRLESS
and the Chinese have damned up the
creek and are diverting the waters
'hus impoUnded onto garden lands ana
t'at they are failing to turn the water
back into the natural channel of the
stream. The point where the water
is alleged to be diverted is just be-
low the military reservation
Garrison creek is very low at this
time of the year and by making an eX-
travagant use of what is left the plain
tiffs allege the defendants are depriv-
ing them of water for their maturing

Presidents Vacation Delayed.

WASHINGTON June 2O.-Ihe ar
rival of hot weather mas been marked
by the usual exodus of Washington
ians to their summer retreats by the
mountains or seashore. Those who
have not already taken their departure
are planning to do so at an early date.
The president expected that this was
% be his last day in the capital until
after his vacation at Oyster Bay, but
the delicacy of the situation in rela-
ton to affairs in the far east mas made
it necessary to change his plans. He
will leave here this evening according
to the original schedule to attend the
commandments of Clark university
and Williams college. But instead of
proceeding from Massachusetts to Oy-
ster Bay he will return direct to Wash
ington, remaining here nearly week
before going to Massachusetts again

A SWISS CELEBRATION.
The Experience Of an American in &C.
neva on July

''The last time I was in Geneva l
a correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press. 1.-The next morning I left my
hOtel-it was not one affected by
American tourists-for a stroll through
the city. From the upper window of
one of the shops which looked on the
narrow cobble paved street hung an
American flag beside the flag or
Switzerland. 1 was puzzled for min
ute Then it flashed over me that it
was the glorious Fourth and that in
my home in the states at that minute
hundreds of thousands of flags were
flying and millions of crackers eXplOd-
ing to celebrate the anniversary
1t was odd to be reminded of the oc-
casion by the people of another land
so far from my own-a people speak
ing another language and alien to me
in everything bit their love of free
dom.
Turning into another street I saw
more decorations, and as 1 neared the
business center of the city they grew
still more prOfuse. The big hotels
showed the blended colors from many
windows, and from the iagstff of the
National Motel, which is the one most
frequented by Americans, flew the
stars and stripes.
1T was inspiring. I felt like throw
ing my hat into the air and crying
'Hurran!' That is what a good many
Americans whom 1 met were impelled
to do. Moreover, some of them were
setting off bombs unmOlested. On
every hand were evidences of NATIONAL
sympathy The exhuberant American
found encouragement and not reproof
in his efforts to make an American
Fourth of July in Geneva.
I'm the evening, they told me, there
would be the annual moonlight excur-
sion down the lake in honor of indie
pendence Day. Think Of it! A Fourth
of July excursion 1000 miles from
home! 1 went, of course. The steam
err was beautifully hung with Swiss
and American flags, and with bunting
of red. white and blue, and lanterns
displaying our national colors were
swung from the awning. About one
sixth of the passengers We're Ameri-
can tourists, the remaining excursion
lists were Swiss.
There was band on board-a very
bid band, l must admit, but its enthu-
siasm atoned in some measure for its
lack of harmony. 1t began with The
Star Spangled Banner and wound up
with Hail. Columbian the American
contingent singing words of the ma
tional hymn with more vigor than ac-
curacy and concluding each verse with
whoops and yells which highly enter
tanned the more stolid natives

ARE MAKING INVESTIGATIONS
EASTERN WASHINGTON STOCK.
MEN SEEK INFORMATION
ABOUT GRAZING LANDS
Alleged That Large Companies and
Wealthy Men Have Secured Con.
troll Of Much Land

A combination of small stockmen
of Eastern Washington has had an
attorney in Olympia going over the
records of the state land Office in an
effort to find means of breaking up
the immense tracts of grazing lands
under fence by bigger stockmen in
the state.
The settling up of the country, the
restricting of the running stock at
large by enactment of the legislature
and the gradual spreading out Of the
monied cattlement is resulting in a
threatened crOwding out of the small
Ter interests. They have contributed
literally to purse, and it is said pro-
pose to contest the legality of a large
number of leases issued by the state
land office on grazing lands in Eastern
Washington. The attack will be made
upon the ground that these leases have
been issued to go-betweens and dunn
mics, who in turn have assigned them
to individual cattlemen or companies,
thus evading the requirement of the
enabling act and constitution that no
more than one section shall be leased
to a single Individual. If the attack
fected would be vast.
By buying railroad lands, which
constitute the odd sections, and then
leasing state educational lands select
ed from the even numbered sections
some cattlemen have succeeded in Sc
curing ranges constituting a hundred
square miles.
One individual is said to have ac-
quired leases on fifty sections of state
land. These lands are fenced in great
tracts. Not only would success on the
part of the small stockman break up
stock range monopolies, but it also
would invalidate hundreds of leases
neld by wheat growers in various parts
Of Eastern Washington. Many COM
panies and individuals have under
lease from three to twenty sections of
wheat land each.
The Investigations in the land office
have been prosecuted with attempt at
strict secrecy. Even the employees OF
the land office who have been called
upon for a great deal of assistance
have been told nothing regarding the
purpose of the researches.

when Henry Scored on Burghart.

''7The grand total Of all fhe'shfts made
by both teams in both games aggre-
gates 55-just one more record for the
Western Association. The Nets led
their WILLOWS were m{ghtier and trustier
than those of the boys with white
washed calves.
In the first game Topeka won because
they made a chOpping block of Wood s
curves. Score, 8 to 8. Nothing but a
lonely looking grease spot adorned the
squared circle when Mr.. Smith left it
after the second roundup. There was
no own recOgnizance" left to his ben
derinos after the Risley gang finished
laying the wood up against them. And
the score! Oklahoma 10, Topeka 8.
To anything like outline the obsequies
would be nothing short of inductive to
nervous prostration. The first contest
was bad enough, but the second spilled
the coffee. Both were eXecrably bad.
Dud Risley used up three pitchers in
the seventh inning Of the second game.
Halla started out but got wild, Shaner
followed, and he too could not control
his twisters. and finally Woods, the
Oklahoma Wonder, had to be sent in
to finish the rumpus.
Umpire Owens was bad on his decis-
ions. He benched Henry in the second
game for disputing d decision on bases
and his optic was off both on bases and
strikes

which Tom Sheard should plaster on

which they made being the direct
