The most serious difference OF opin-
ion presented to the Commissioners
was to the Menhaden Fisherles,-aud
was between the catchers and takers
Of food fish I'm the Delaware Bay ana
River. and the Menhaden fishermen
who have large and valuable plants at
Lewes in this state, and elsewhere. A
special hearing was given to the Men.
MAIDEN fishermen in the City Of VIII
mington. At which meeting II was
strongly urged by those representing
the Menhaden Fisheries that, notwith-
standing a prevailing public opinion 10
the contrary. they were not catchers Of
food fish to any great extent, and that
their operations were rather a benefit,
than "A detriment TO the other fishing
industries. Outside of those directly
interested in the Menhaden Fisheries.
the evidence was very strong that dur
ing the latter part OF the month Of
August. and particularly in the month
Of September. many small food fish In
passing from the waters Of the Della
ware River and Bay are captured and
destroyed by the Menhaden fishermen.
Therefore, after a full investigation
and thorough consideration Of all the
information they have been able to get
on the subject from both sides, the
Commissioners are OF the opinion that
Nenhaden fishing should not be allowed
I'm the Delaware Bay after the thirty
first day Of August IN each year. In
this connection, the Commissioners
would also say that they have carefully
examined and considered the reports Of
the United States Fish Commission. a
special Commission appointed by the

MRS, KAUFFM MAN
SCORES A POINT
Is Granted Change of Venue
and Her Case Will be Heard
at FIandreau.

Sioux Falls, S. ID. May 2S.-Judge
Smith shortly before O'clock yester-
day afternoon brought the proceedings
in connection With the application for
a change of Venue in the Kaufman
case to and unexpected end, by grant
ing change of the trial of the case
to the circuit court of Moody county
and fixing June 4 as the date for the
commencement of the trial at Flan-
idreau.
The proprietors of the two daily
newspapers at Sioux Falls and four of
the weeklies We're subpoenaed to offer
evidence IN support of the application
for the change of Venue. They Were
lists. and their evidence bore upon the
circulation of their papers at the var-
oms towns and postotfices of the coun-
ty. Every article printed in the six
publications bearing upon the kauff
man case since the arrest of the
defendant on June II of last year was
offered in evidence by the defense in
support of the application for the
change of Venue, the purpose being to
show that the case had been thor.
oughly advertised throughout the
county, and that the inflammatory ar
ticles printed in some of the papers in
reference to the case had greatly in
Ilflllieu lne puDnc lnlnu against lnG
defendant and made it impossible for
her to secure a fair and impartial trial
in Minnehaha county, owing to the
bias and pdeiudice against her by rea-
son of the stories printed in the local
papers.
The defense also made the most
of the exhibition in this city q day or
two previous to the preliminary hear
ing of Mrs. Kaufman last June by
the boodstained clothing of the dead
girl, which was exhibited at the Cata-
ract hotel by Parkstcn parties, until
Mayor Pillsbury, fearing that riot
would be created. ordered the police
department to have the clothing with
drawn from exhibition

Governor Crawford has left for Big
Stone, where he will meet the members
of the capital commission for the pur-
pose of examining the stone quarries
at that place The governor and the
rest of the members of the commits
sion are doing all they possibly can
to make it possible for quarry men in
the state to bid and secure contracts
for stone for the new capitol building,
although the plans and specifications
which We're furnished and paid for by
the preceding administration are more
or less an obstacle in the way. One
thing is certain, however, and that is
that the commission will go ahead and
have the building under roof ana ready
for occupancy as fast as it can be
built, economically and WE'LL pursuant
to the law enacted by the last state
legislature.
