analysis Of the offerings indicates that
the bill will just suit local audiences
both in detail and ensemble. Head
ing the bill will be Nine. Slapoffski,
prima donna soprano. Then there will
be two most artistic and skilful gym
nastic acts, of the kind over which Or

siastic; an acrobat comedy. act, a high
class musical act, an excellent sketch,
some comedy kinodrome pictures-and
a monolog by William Tomkins, ia
vorite son of local Elldom ;.
Nine. Slapoffski is but lately returned
from three years tour Of Australia
and short concert tour of New Zea-

RIVERS COMES BACK
Alleged Slayer of Corners Is
Arrested I'm New York

Ike Rivers. alias John Livers. who is ac-
cused of shooting Richard Corners, a
member of the Williams & Walker COM
pany OF negro actors in the dressing room
of the Biiou opera house few weeks ago,
has been arrested In New York and will
be brought to Minneapolis early this week
by Sheriff Dreger and Deputy Sheriff 10th,
who have been sent for him.
The county attorney has received in
formation to the effect that Rivers is in
custody and Assistant County Attorney
John F. Dahl and Attorney w. r. Morris
have been in the east for week securing
evidence relative to the homicide which
was said to have been an accident at the
time the man was shot, but which has
now developed into a murder.
The men quarreled over a woman and
q revolver is said to have dropped from
Rivers pocket. Both sprang for the weap-
on, but Rivers secured 1t and shot Con-
ners.
The grand Jury resumes its sessions to-
day and ii is expected that before night
Swan NJ. Lindahl, the South Minneapolis
policeman arrested a week ago on the
charge of robbing and attempting to fire
the South Minneapolis branch of the pub
lie library, will be indicted.
A thorough Investigation will be made
of the circumstances surrounding the
shooting Of Emil Roggatz, the coachman
employed by DR.. Philip Mueller, who is
said to have been shot by robbers who
sought to loot the residence OF the doctor.
The county attorney has not made public
all the facts he has learned in connec-
ton with the shooting and 1t Is possible
some interesting developments will follow
the investigation Of the grand jury.

TOO STRICT TO WORK
South Dakota Town Defeats
Purpose by Its
Severity
Special to The Globe

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., March SIS
II Wright. local attorney, during a
recent term OF state circuit court in
Turner county, won case which is of
Importance as bearing on the powers
Of city councils in enacting ordinances
regulating the liquor traffic
At the last municipal election at
Centerville the question of granting
licenses TO saloons was submitted to
the voters and was carried. Five ap-
plications for license were presented
TO the city council. which granted four
ana rejected the other. George 3. Gy-
ken. OF Lennox. was the unsuccessful
applicant.
Prior to the election, in anticipation
or license carrying, he had purchased a
building at Centerville and ordered a
certain amount of goods in order to be
in readiness to commence business as
soon as license had been granted. Some
time afterward Mr.. Gyken, having in
the meantime secured a government
and county license, opened his place
for business, with Charles Radford as
one of his assistants.
Radford was then arrested on the
charge of selling liquor within the cor
porate limits Of Centeryille without
having secured a city license He was
tried by a jury and defended by s. III.
Wright. who based the defense largely
on the allegation that the license ordi-
nance OF CenteTville was in conflict
with the state liquor license law.
City Attorney Bogue, of Centerville,
maintained that the ordinance COM
piled. with the state statutes in every
respect After being out only about
ten minutes the jury returned a YER
.cN TN
case was then appealed to the state
circuit court, where Judge z. G. Smith
sustained the contention of Attorney
Wright, holding the license ordinance
of Centerville void because il was in
conflict with the state liquor license
laws
In the arguments 1t was shown in
behalf of the defendant that the IL
cense ordinance of Centerville went
far beyond the state statutes in its
provisions, making it in effect unlawful
for one person to even give another a
drink OF liquor, or TO have liquor in
their possession without having first
compiled with the requirements of the
laws OF the state of South Dakota re-
lating thereto and securing a city Ii
cense therefor"
Those who drafted the ordinance
doubtless intended to make its terms
so severe that intending violators
would be discouraged, but in making
the terms Of the ordinance so ironclad
the purpose OF the ordinance was de-
feated and the ordinance itself was de-
clared void and not worth the paper
upon which 1t was written because Il
did not clearly follow the provisions OF
the state liquor license law.
The experience OF the authorities of
Centerville in this respect will prove
OF value to the authorities of other
towns. and 1t is safe to say that here
after liquor license ordinances In the
cities and towns Of South Dakota will
not be in conflict with the state law,
but will closely follow its provisions
and not make 1t a crime for a man to
every carry a bottle OF liquor In his
pocket.

SIOUX FALLS, s. D., March 5.-The
construction of a magnificent cathe-
oral. to cost in the neighborhood of
S2OO,O0O, is being planned by leading
CatholicS OF this diocese. 1t is the in
tention to erect the building in this
city. III the enterprise is successful
the cathedral will, when completed, be
one OF the finest structures of the kind
in the northwest. Ii present plans ma
terfalize the proposed cathedral will be
erected within the next two or three
years.
Under the laws of South Dakota, as
they were UP TO the session of the leg
islature which has just adjourned, it
was unlawful for any religious corpo-
ration to own real estate in South Da-
kota in excess of the value of $4,000.
AS this law would have prevented the
erection OF the cathedral, Senator
Northrup of this city got through the
legislature bill providing that the
law should not apply to a single build
ing on grounds not to exceed two and
one-half acres in extent
The new law will still prevent relis
ious corporations acquiring much real
estate, but will not prevent them put
ting great deal of money into a sin

that the bill was drawn up by Joe

PADRONE SYSTEM
MAY BE PRObED
Hinted That Alien Labor Law
Is Being Violated With
Impunity

1t is reported that the Hennepin
county, If not the federal grand jury.
will be asked to investigate the peonage
Or padrone system. which is said 10 pre-
vail in Minneapolis among the Greeks
and Italians who make their livelihood
by selling fruit and backing shoes.
According to the reports which have
reached the authorities the young men
who are brought from across the water
have their expenses paid and are COM
PEELED to labor for term of years at
small salaries in order to repay their
masters
They work long hours. some in stores.
others in the. streets and at night dozens
of them herd in a few rooms on Fourth
street, which are characterized by the
euphonious name of hotel" 1t is al
legged that the padrone system is as much
in vogue in certain classes of business
in Minneapolis as il ever was in New
York. and while the men are not reduced
to the straits of some of the alleged
poems in the south they are nevertheless
under SYSTEM of bondage which, at
times Is irksome.
When a man ends his period of servi-
tude, ii is said. another man is brought
from southern Europe to take his place.
1t is possible that the authorities will be
called upon TO investigate as to whether
the alien labor law has been violated.

NEW YORR-For the first time in
many years the Hudson river is so
tightly icebound that the powerful
tugs of the American Ice company are
unable to force their way up to Rock
land lake, where the great icehouses
which supply this city are. In conse-
quence there is the possibility of a

All other measures failing the COM
pany has a large gang of men en-
gagged In the stupendous task of cut
ting a channel through the ice from
off Hastings, which now marks the
head Of navigation, to Rockland lake. a
distance of over ten miles. The chan
mel Is being made 100 feet wide through
ice which is two feet and more thick.
Tugs steam UP and down the channel
night and day to keep 1t from freezing
over again.
Two hundred men are at work They
started Friday at Hastings. BY night
fall Sunday they had reached point
opposite Nyack. They have now pro-
ceeded two miles further up the river
AT the rate of progress being made 1t
Is expected that the channel will be
cut to Rockland lake at the end of the
week. The men are aided In their
work by the tug especially designed
for ice breaking. They mark out the
channel, saving and cutting the ice on
both sides. Then the big tug comes up
at full speed. easily smashing her way
through. After this the broken up ice
Is pushed under the firm Ice with long
