HOLDING SANS COAT.

If there should be war between
Japan and the United States that
big ''if'' which appears to be attract
ing the attention of all the world-of
course the first move would be for
the japanese to seize the Philippines,
That they could take them easily
goes without saying; almost as easily
as Dewey took them from Spain, cer-
tainly with such ease and swiftness
THAT the United States could not get
It's feet about the Horn, nor its
squadron across the Pacific. Japan
would have them In the twinkling of
an eye.
Then it would be the duty of the
United States to go across and take
the Philippines back. There are
those who would consider 1t an ex-
|cellent riddance If Japan would take
these islands and keep them. That
might have been once. 1t might
have been well to have sold these is
lands to Japan, to complete the is
land empire, and incidentally to re.
lieve the United States of a burden.
But that time is passed, irretrievably
passed. Not only must the United
States keep the Philippines, but SHE
must 60 and take them back ii any,
one else takes them. She owes this
to the Filipinos themselves. She
owes 1t to her own honor. The Unit.
ed States cannot afford to let Japan
or the world think she Is SO '.easy'
as that.
Well, 1t would not be so ditiicul1
for the United States to take back
the Philippines; it would be decided
ly more difficult to protect the Pa
cific coast from Japanese invasion
And ii we went across we would take
back the islands, and give Japar
what was coming to it, what, In fact
q great many Americans and Euro
peans, especially Russians, think
would be q good thing-a licking,
And the part played by the Philip
pines would be that of the coat. The
Jap would be holding Uncle Sans
coat while he got licking. It looks
good enough for Punch at this dis
tance.

The Fort Pierre creamery, less
than month old, shipped $3.50
pounds east the other day. The re-
ceipts of cream have been far greater
than the managers anticipated, and
the shipping of the product from
railroad points is not yet developed.
The new settlers, and there are many
OF them who have been creamery pa
irons before they came here, know
that this institution means more to
them than any other one thing that
has come into existence with the set
tlement OF western South Dakota.

UNHAPPY GOAT
IS EMBARRASSED
Greek Letter Neophytes Taken to Jail
by Unromantic Patrolman Who
Can't Understand Real
Fun

The strict laws of the Angel City col

resented In the persons of nine would
be Theta Nu Epsilon fraternity broth
ers-and the majesty of the law re-
mained. The nine neophytes also re-
mained behind the bars of the city's
free lodging house until kind friends
put up the necessary coin OF the realm.
The boys were riding the goat which
was expected to bring them within the
sacred precincts of the Greek temple,
but instead it led them to the domi-
cile Of the other hapless individuals
afflicted with brainstorms.
The young men were garbed in such
costumes that no one thought of ac-
cusing them Of the ability to have a
brainstorm, or even little squall. At
noon yesterday the band made their
appearance at the Palace cafe, con-
siderably startling that quiet resort.
A long lanky Seneganbian led the
way, bearing the banner Of the fra
ternity. Close behind him was a youth
who sought in the garb Of the French
ballet dancer to show the contour of
Hottentot made impressions on the
crowd Of nondescripts which followed
them; and in the rear was youth
disguised as a gentleman, and failing
dismally to look the part. Behind
them, at q distance which 1t seemed
to hope would preclude it's being mis-
taken as being in such company, was
one lonely speciman of the headstrone
species, William Goat. This noble
brute was hanging back and trying
hard to look as if he didn't know the
aggregation into which 1t had, much

Lieutenant Murray, Sergeant Dowit

bastile they were released and head

GOV. BUCHTEL SPEAKS TO
POLYTECHNIC STUDENTS

Governor Buchtel of Colorado ad-
dressed the students of the Polytechnic
high school yesterday afternoon In
their auditorium. At o'clock the
students were gathered in the hall and
Acting Principal Donnell introduced
superintendent e. G.. Moore, who ad-
dressed the students, telling them OF
some Incidents in Governor BuchtePs
life.
DR.. Moore was followed by DR..
Bovard, president of the University OF
Southern California, who told the stu
dents Of his relation with Governor
Buchters work in educational lines.
Mr.. Donnell then introduced the gov
ernor. Opening with some witty re-
marks, Mr.. Buchtel related several In
cidents in his life as a university pro-
fessor. He, kept the students in a con-
slant state of merriment throughout
his speech and yet impressed upon
them the advantages of a technical ed
ucation. He strongly advocated that
the high school student take some
studies in q university, even though
one could not complete the full course.
The students applauded loudly as
Mr.. Buchtel retired and the governor
returned to the stage and recited a
little monologue on Teddy Roose-
velt."
At the conclusion of the piece the
students rose in body and sang the
"Star Spangled Banner" under the
leadership of Mrs. Humphreys.

GROWERS APPEAL
TO Commission
CITRUS GROWERS WANT TO
KNOW
Railroads and Fruit Men Join Hands
In Asking Interstate Commerce
Commission About Short
age Of Cars

Following a rule of the Southern Pa
cifio and Santa Fe railroads that cars
shall be supplied to shippers accord
ing to the amount Of fruit on hand,
California citrus growers have ap-
pealed to the interstate commerce COM
mission for a ruling. The plan pro-
posed by the railroad companies did
not suit the fruit growers, and as
neither side would yield the commits
sion was appealed to.
Thomas A. Graham, assistant gen.
eral freight and passenger agent OF
the Southern Pacific, said yesterday:
1--WE thought we knew how to take
care of the distribution of cars during
a shortage, but some Of the shippers
didn't like our way Of doing 1t. we
decided that if we can have ruling
on the question both sides will know
better what to do the next time. While
both the Santa Fe and the Salt Lake
are equally concerned with the South
ern Pacific, we decided that this road
should stand the test case. 1t Is pos
sible that the Interstate commerce
commission will not interfere, but nc
matter how 1t goes the proceedings
are brought in friendly spirit.
"As a consequence of the car short
age, the orange market is In splendid
condition. The fruit has brought bet
ter prices this year than ever berore
and it will all be in the market in
time for this condition not to be dis
turbed."

APPEAL BY TELEGRAPH
UNIQUE IN ANNALS OF
INTERSTATE COMM ISSlON
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-For the
first time in it's history complaint WAS
filed by telegraph with the interstate
commerce commission and the action
Of the commission on the complaint
was unusually prompt and direct.
The complaint came from the CAL
ifornia Fruit Growers association,
with headquarters at Los Angeles, and
was directed against the Southern Pa
cific and the Santa Fe railroads. The
petition sets forth that the production
of citrus fruits in California are
shipped outside the state, principally to
eastern points, amounts to about 10000
carloads annually and that 80 per cent.
of this business Is done by the COM
plainants.
Recently the defendant lines adopted
a regulation that they would supply
to the complainant cars for the ship
ment Of it's products only in propor-
eion to the amount of fruit that ac-
tually had been picked and was ready
for shipment. The petition says this
regulation will work a serious hard
ship on the fruit shippers, as in many
cases they will have to wait for cars.
Meantime, the value Of fruit will
deteriorate rapidly, thus causing the
growers great loss. The complaint re-
quests the commission promptly to hear
the case and prescribe a just and
proper regulation for the distribution
Of cars.
The commission. by telegraph, set
the case for hearing at Los Angeles
on May 15. The petition was 1916
words in length and the exchange paid
about $50 for its transmission.

NE. A. DESIGN IS
FINALLY CHOSE n
California Bears, Orange Trees and
Roses Combine in Forming a
Pleasing Effect for COM
mittee to Choose

Two California bears, orange trees
and roses are combined in the design
chosen by the art committee of the
N. e. A. as the official emblem on all
N. e. A. publications, posters, post
cards, etc. Miss Mary S. Morse of 1928
Shatto street was the successful artist.
Her design, simple, yet striking in it's
very simplicity, was chosen out of fifty
or more drawings submitted.
The design, by including the Cali
fornia bear, the orange and the rose,
fulfilled the condition demanded that
1t be distinctly suggestive of California.
The words "Welcorle, N. e. A., Los
Angeles, 1907" were also included. It's
simplicity and entire lack of elaborate
detail finally won for it's owner the $25
prize offered by the committee.
Although there were several other
designs which made the decision diff
cult for the committee, the majority
of the drawings entered were discard
ed because of their unfitness for the
many purposes which the official de-
sign must serve. Some were splendid
posters; others would have served ad-
mirably as postal cards. and still 9TH
ers were ideal letter heads, tut very
few combined ali these requirements
Other artists lighted the fire that
destroyed their chances by including
the time-honored torch of learning
Anything resembling this favorite of
our grandfathers was consigned to the
undesirable heap without much parley.
Some drawings were thrown out be-
cause they were too elaborate for let
ter heads and posters.
The art committee was made up of
M. C. Neuner, Miss Gearhardt, Miss
N. M. Geer, Miss Sterrett and r. o.
Hoedel, secretary.
All unsuccessful designs will be
kept at the N. z. A. headquarters,
third floor of Chamber of Commerce
building, where the owners can get
them at any time up to May 1e.

BODY LIES DAYS
BEFORE DISCOVERY
CHASTITY SIGHT MEETS EYES
OF OFFICER
Old Soldier Commits Suicide and Re-
mains Are Not Found for Nearly
Week After Tragedy
Occurs

After lying in ghastly solitude. for
six days the body Of Edgar M. Rob-
bins, an old soldier, was found yester-
day in the front room of his dwelling,
1929 Council street. An officer who
had been appealed to by neighbors
who had noticed that the veteran was
absent from his usual haunts, made
the discovery.
Mr.. Robbins had lived in the neigh
borhood for a number of years, and
had many friends and acquaintances
there. Several days ago his friends
mentioned not having seen him and
wondered where he was. He had al
ways been regular in his habits, but
had not spoken of going away to any
one.
Yesterday afternoon the postman,
who had been delivering mail at the
house during the last week, remarked
to John Walker, a neighbor, that Mr..
Robbins must have left Los Angeles
for a short time, as his mail box was
full of mail and had not been emptied
for week.
Mr.. Walker thought it strange, as
Mr.. Robbins had not spoken Of leav-
ing the city. and suspecting some
thing might be wrong he told G. L.
Johnson, the patrolman in that neigh
borhood, of the case.
The patrolman went to the house but
was unable to gain admittance and
finally concluded to break in the door.
Meets Ghastly Sight
AS he entered the room q horrible
bloody spectacle met his gaze. The
carpet and furniture were covered with
blood The patrolman approached the
body, which was lying on the bed, and
sa wthat life was extinct. He at once
notified headquarters and the coroner
was notified.
The body was removed to Pierce
Bros morgue, where it was found the
man had died from a bullet wound
through the head. The legs and lower
part of the body were slashed with
deep cuts, inflicted with razor which
was found in the room near the body.
1t is thought the man first attempted
to end his life with the razor and after
this used the revolver.
From the appearance of the body it
is Thought the old man must have
committed suicide at least five days
before the body was discovered.
Letters were found in his clothing
which show he has, relatives in Union,
Me-, and 1t is thought Robbins Is from
that place. Word was telegraphed to
that city by the police last night, but
at late hour no reply had been re-
oa;x,od

DOCTORS FAVOR
NIGHT SPR|NKL|NG
Board of Health Asks Board of Public
Works to Do Away with the
Daylight Wettlns of City :.
Streets

DR.. Seymour announced himself as
the champion of night sprinkling OF
city streets at yesterdays meeting Of
the health board ~
He said for some time he had been
contemplating asking the board to
make such a recommendation to the
board of public works and the response
of his colleagues was so quick as al
most to take his breath away.
He explained that if streets were
sprinkled before the crowds of pedes-
TRANS and vehicles came the dust
would be settled and less mud would
bespatter all vehicles.
Mayor Harper asked If early sprinls-
ling did not make resprinlkling neces-
sary later on hot days.
The members thought a second light
drenching could be had if necessary,
but all agreed that night sprinkline
was desirable and such a recommends
tion was ordered.
