TO IMPROVE RIVERS
FEDERAL COMMISSION HEGIEii
INQUIRY IN WASHINGTON.
Personal Investigation Limited to the
Mississippi, the Great Lakes ard the
Missouri-Inland Waterways to DO
Considered.
Considered.

The inland waterways commission
recently appointed by the president to
make general investigation into the
question of the Improvement Of rivers
and harbors, the utilization Of streams
for irrigation and the Improvement
of swamp lands, etc, held its first
meeting at Washington Monday in the
committee room OF its chairman, Rep
resentative Burton, of Ohio.
All the members were present and
the organization was completed by the
election of Senator Newlands, of Ne
vada, as vice chairman and DR.. w. ].
MCGEE, scientist, residing in Wash
ington, as secretary. In addition to
Messrs. Burton, Newlands and MCGEE
the commission is composed of Sena-
tor Warner, of Missouri former Rep
resentative Bankhead, of Alabama;
Gen. Mackenzie, of the army; f. II.
Newell, chief engineer of the reclama-
ton service; Clifford Pinchot, United
States forester, and Herbert Smith,
commissioner of corporations.
The commission decided definitely
to make visits of inspection to the
Mississippi river and the great lakes,
and probably the Missouri will be Wis
tied in the near future. 1t is not
probable, however, that much person
al inspection will be made in other To-
calities. The discussion showed a
tendency on the part of the commits
sion to consider the subjects involved
along the broadcast lines, and in pur-
suance of this plan there will be a
general inquiry into the subject of the
Improvement of the rivers and har-
bors, the purity of water and all other
general subjects connected with the
inland water system of the country

PANIC AVERTED BY ROOSEVELT.
Women and Children in Great Peril
at Norfolk.

President Roosevelt, while speaking
at the exposition grounds in Norfolk,
Va, Friday, that he might be better
seen and heard, mounted a table
which raised him high above the
heads of the vast audience. He was
greatly concerned by the danger in
the crowd to the women and children,
and, speaking at the top of his voice,
he earnestly requested the people to
refrain from crowding. He called at
tention to the fact that there were
women and children in front, and
said: "If there is one thing that
marks body of Americans, especially
body of Virginians, it is that they
take good care of the women and
children"
This hae the effect of stopping dam
ger for the time, but it was not long
before the peoples enthusiasm again
swept away all semblance of order,
and Gen. Grant sent a squad of cav
airy out in the throng. This move, it
is believed, is all that saved the i'm.
mense gathering from breaking
through the ropes and lines of guards,
in which event there may have beer
many casualties.

INDIAN FACES THE GALLONS.
Robert yellow Boy Likely TO BE
Eyecuted for Murder.


To judge from the nature Of the
evidence presented by the government
at the preliminary hearing of Robert
Yellow Boy Sioux Indian, held be-
fore United States Commissioner Nell
McDonough at Deadwood Thursday
Yellow Boy who is charged with muir
der, stands a good chance Of ending
his life on the gallows, as was the case
few years ago with George Bear and
Alan Walking Shield, Sioux Indians,
who were hanged in Sioux Falls, hav-
ing been convicted Of murder on the
Rosebud reservation.
AT the conclusion of the prelimi-
nary hearing Of yellow Boy, at which
the government was represented by
both United States Attorney Porter
and United States Marshal Seth Bull
lock, the defendant was held without
bail for appearance before the next
federal grand jury to answer to the
charge of murder.
Until the alleged commission of the
crime charged against him Yellow
Boy was a member of the Indian
police force at Pine Ridge agency, his
alleged victim, Hugh Brave Heart,
also having been a member of the
force. The incidents preceding and
following the death of Brave Heart,
and the nature of the evidence upon
which the government will seek to
convict Yellow Boy of the crime of
murder, were clearly set forth at the

STEALS HIS EMPLOYERS HORSE
Young Man Gets Even Because Father
Took His WaCeS.


A young man who for some time
has been employed by Gust Birgen,
we'll known farmer living in the
southern part of Lincoln county,
through pique has committed a crime
which will subject him to term in
the Sioux Falls penitentiary if he Is
captured and convicted.
The young man is a minor and be-
came angry because his employer paid
to his father the sum due him for
labor. Doubtless with the idea Of
getting even with his employer for
the labor he had performed for him,
he stole one of his employers horses
and departed for parts unknown. A
couple of Hudson men saw him drive
the horse through that place and
thought he was head for Yankton.
Efforts have been made to locate
the fugitive at Yankton and other
points in the extreme southeastern
portion of the state but thus far with
out success. 1t is now feared that
! the young man may have succeeded
in making his way out of the state in
to Nebraska or Iowa. Should he be
captured he will be charged with
horse stealing. A reward has been
offered for his apprehension.

HUNTING LODGE LOOTED.
Thieves Work Raid on Judge Smiths
Place at Lake AIDES.

That some thieves at least are no
respecters of persons is shown by a
case which has just been reported
from Charles Mix county. Judge
Frank B. Smith, presiding judge of
the state circuit court of the Fourth
circuit, is a true sportsman, and to
vary the monotony of his judicial du-
ties he is accustomed during his leis-
ure hours to devote some attention
to hunting. In order to have a place
where he could go for recreation he
had constructed on the north shore
Of Lake Andes a fine boat house, in
which he stored his boat to be utilized
for little hunting expeditions on the
lake when he felt so inclined. The
other day he went to the lake for the
purpose of enjoying a little recreation
and made the discovery that during
his absence some bold thief had en-
tered his temporary abiding place and
carried away all his dishes, bedding
and considerable other property. A
reward has been offered for the detec-
ton Of the thief, who, If found, will
have an opportunity to repent at leis-
ure his boldness in stealing the prop
erty Of a presiding judge.

Mayor Busse made that fact plain.
and in doing so administered a severe
jolt to Alderman Coughlin and some
of his friends.
A large number of persons who have
been making a living by various de-
vices outside the law believed they
could go on in the same old way. They
were full of the idea that Mayor Busse
would not interfere with hem. They
learned their mistake and that the lid
had been clamped on Chicago again.
Mayor Busse declared himself ex-
plicitly. He said he would not permit
gambling in Chicago whether it was
In the form of pool rooms or hand
books, and took occasion to back up
his words by deeds. In Coughlin's
ward sports were told previous to
election that when Busse was elected
mayor they could keep on without any
fear of molestation. The immediate
result of this was the arrest of a set
of Couglin constituents, headed by
Martin Brown, in the Temple court
building, for keeping a pool room, and
the imposition of heavy fines.
