DIVORCE BILL RUSs GAUNTLET
Opposition PIays smooth Game, but is
FOiIea In Attempt to side-
track the Measure.

PIERRE, s. d.. March e.-Cspecial Tele-
ram.)-The divorce bill was the principal
cause of action in the house today. The
minority opposing the bill had planned a
smooth game in an attempt to wipe the
bill out Of existence. Under the rules an
amended bill can be held over for one day
on demand of ifteen members and Glass
had an amendment to present uEfsr which
the rule was to be invoked. ht+ +fnS X over
until tomorrow and sending q Sack to the
senate where 1t would have been little
trouble to hold II until after adjournment.
Cable was the first recognized, and after
stating that he thought II time for the
state to take In the laundry sign, moved
the previous question. Glass was up with
his amendment which was ruled out of
order and he appealed from the decision
Of the chair securing eighteen votes to
sustain his appeal. The bill was then
passed by vote of sixty-fve yeas to
eighteen nays.
Another railroad bill requiring railroads
to sell 5O0-mile family books at the same
rate as for any other mileage book came
to the surface and passed the house. as
did the senate bills creating municipal
courts, and a state printing commission.
The house this morning refused TO re-
consider the vote by which the five supreme
court judges bill was killed. and the bill
is dead for the session. The same action
was taken on the senate bill to fix
standard form of life insurance policies
The house holds its first night session
this evening. The senate passed the house
anti-gambling bill which makes gambling
betting or wagering by any one misde-
meanor and gives the right OF recovery
against property owners or tenants where
betting or gambling is allowed. Several
attempts to amend were voted down and
the bill went through as left by the house

CONFERENCE OVER PATRONAGE
President Urges the south Dakota
Delegation to Get To-
Eether.
frrom a STAR correspondent.)

WASHINGTON, March 6.--(Special Tele-
grant, 1.-THE South Dakota senatorial pa
tronage muddle had a session at the White
House today, the president holding con-
ferences with Senators Kittredge and Gam
BILE, Representative Parker and State Sem
ator w. c. Cook, chairman of the repub-
lican committee. The president expressed
desire to see the two senator's get to-
gether on patronage matters in that state
and 1t is understood they will try to do so.
The president made it plain, however. that
as to the United States attorneyship he
would give the appointment to Senator
Gamble. stating that he had promised to
do this some time ago. Senator Rttredge
succeeded in preventing the confirmation
of ]. d. Elliott, named by Senator GAM
BILE, but the latter will now pick out
another man. The United States marshal
was named last year. but there is sur
veyor general, register and receiver for
land Offices and an Indian agent to be
chosen. It is upon these offices the presi-
dent should like to see harmony In recon-
mendations to him. Whether It can be ar
ranged is considered somewhat doubtful.
Representative Parker said there was
| rather strong feeling in South Dakota
over the defeat OF Elliott for United States
attorneyship by Senator Kittredge in view
of the high standing of Mr.. Elliott as a law
yer.
Representative Parker leaves for New
York tonight. and thence to New Haven,
Conn, to visit his son, who is a student al
Yale. Mr.. Parker will return to Washing
ton on Saturday.

for some time past all classes of buyers
were more or Tess bearish on the heavy

more lively and prospects were favorable

As usual the proportion of cows and heit-

mand the trade was active from the start
and prices were generally In last week 8
