FISH FALL COMES
WITH HEAVY RAIN
Hundreds Caught at Aberdeen as
Souvenirs of a Wonderful

Special to The Journal
Aberdeen, S. D., May 26-Aberdeen

last night.
Fishes fell from the clouds, and early
this morning many could be seen wrig-
Cling on the sidewalks, swimming in
the pools of water or lying dead on the
high ground. It was a remarkable
sight. .-~r
The downpour Of rain was the heav-
lest known in this section at this time
Of the year and, marks one of the
strangest phenomena in the history of
the state. The resources of South Da-
kota are known to be almost unlimited,
but never before has a shower Of fish
descended, and it is the more remark
able because Of the fact that the fall
appears to have been general in all
parts of the city.
One of the first persons to make the
discovery was Rev. Marshall F. Mont
gomery, rector of st. Mark s church,
and even he deemed it necessary to pos
sess himself of the evidence. in the
shape of several live fish picked up
from the street, so that more credence
would be given to his story. =. -.,'..

Washington, May 26.-Unless Sena-
tor Joseph R. Burton of Kansas, who
stands convicted Of crime and has
been sentenced to term OF lmprlson-
ment and to pay fine, resigns his seat
in the senate within a week, action WILL
be taken to have him expelled from

Notice to that effect will be served
on Burton by members of the commit
tee on privileges and elections, which
considered his case yesterday. He VIII

meet with the intention of reporting a
resolution of expulsion, if Burton does
not get out.

day that President Roosevelt had de-
clared that Burton must get out of

once.
Burton s proposal that, provided no
action were taken on his case in the
meantime, he would resign his seat if
the supreme court denied the appl1ca-
ton for a rehearing, was brought to the
committees attention at the meeting,
but was rejected Immediately. Senator
Foraker and Senator Knox were par
ticularly insistent that some action
should be taken at once against Burton
unless he voluntarily retired from the
senate.
It was evident from the views ex-
pressed that the committee was unani-
mously in favor of Kidding the senate
Of a convicted criminal. There was
some mention made of the political
condition in Kansas, which, from re
publican standpoint would create con
siderable embarrassment if Burton re
tired or were forced at this time, bu'
it made no impression upon this com
.mittee.
Owing to the fact that FIVE member
of the committee were absent it wal
determined to take no action until tn,
next meeting of the committee, which
will be held next Friday.

No sooner had the report been sub

minister of Levere and one of the
ministers to the assembly from that
presbytery, took the floor He violently
opposed the proposed synod on grounds
that the three. presbyteries specified
assume the functions and duty of a
synod. Members of the committee
spoke for the erection of the synod,
carefully avoiding the race question
and emphasizing the claim that each
of the three .presbyteries had asked
such action. After spirited discussion,

bill was adopted as an amendment to

provides for governmental inspection
and examination Of all livestock and
dead beef animals after passing thru
the packing houses. It is intended to
mails or the subsequent sale of the
meat. It is considered an effective and
stringent method Of preserving the pu-
rity of meat products. The adoption Of
the Beveridge inspection bill without
debate or opposition created much sur
prise. It was not expected that the
bill would reach consideration at this
session. .ft--s-.E,
"A curious story is told in explana-

added as an amendment to the agrl-

that Professor Neill, commissioner OF

employed by the packers in handling

meat products. A report of this in
