CHARGED WITH FORGERY.
Browns in Town at Fairfax, Locked
Behind the Bars.

Fairfax, S. D., March 26.-Special
to The News: A man by the name of
Brown Is in the county Jail here
charged with forgery. Some time ago
he negotiated loan from Orion Por-
ter, real estate man, for $1,100 on a
quarter section of land but by accident
last week Mr.. Porter, it is alleged,
found out that he was not the man
who owned the land but that he had
forged the other mans name to the
papers, and that Brown still lived on
the land. He had him arrested. $500
of the money was left in the Gregory
County State bank and about $500
more have beeen recovered.
The original owner lives somewhere
in Illinois. The funniest part of it is
that Brown did not try to get out of
the country but left part of the money
in the bank and had bought some
horses and other things and lived on
the land which he had rented.

TAFT 70 OPEN CAMPAIGN
WILL SOUND KEYNOTE OF PREsl.
DENTAL ATTITUDE.
WHEN OKLAHOMA BEGINS GAME

Speech Of Secretary Of War in Okla

its First Political Campaign, viii
Contain Pointers.
Washington, March 23.-Secretary
of War Taft will sound the keynote
for the first republican campaign in
the new state of Oklahoma, and, in
his speech, he Is expected to define
his position on the presidential nomi-
nation next year.
First Election In August.
The first election in the new state,
to ratify the constitution and elect
state officials, will be held in August,
and the republican state convention
will probably be held during the latter
part of May or early in June. Mr..
Taft has engagements to speak in
Iowa and Minnesota on June IL and
10.
Gov. Frantz, of Oklahoma, who has
been in Washington for some time,
left for home last night, and 1t is un.
derstood he will get busy at once in
effecting the necessary arrangements.
Will be Important.
The political importance of speech
by Mr.. Taft as the keynote for the re-
publican campaign in Oklahoma is not
to be underestimate. 1t will have
the direct bearing on the republican
presidential politics for it will be gen
orally regarded as in certain measure
the keynote of Secretary Taft's candi'
dacy for the presidency.
1t is well within the range of posi-
bilities also, that Secretary Taft's
presence at the first republican state
convention in Oklahoma would lead to
some action by the convention virtual
ly, If not unequivocally, indorsing him
for the presidential nomination.
A Delegation for Taft.
A tsrong Taft sentiment is said to
exist in Oklahoma, and it has been re
ported that only the definite assurance
that the secretary will be in the presi
Dental lists is needed to start the ball
rolling and insure a Taft delegation
from the new state to the next repub
lican antional convention.

A big, smoothfaced, good natured

Widow Sets Aside Sum for Founda-

Widow Sets Aside Sum for Founda-
ton, With Novel Objects.
Albany, N. Y, March 23.-Mrs. Rus
sell Sage has set aside the sum of $780,
100000, to be known as the Sage foun-
dalton, and to be devoted to the i'm
provement of social and living condi-
lions in the United States.
A bill incorporating the foundation
was introduced in the legislature. AS
trustees of the foundation Mrs. Sage
has appointed Robert w. De Forest,
Cleveland H. Dodge, Daniel G. Gilman,
John NJ Glenn, Miss Helen Gould, Mrs.
William B. Rice, and Miss Louisa L.
Schuyler.
The following statement by Mrs
Sage concerning the foundation and its
objects was given out by Mrs. Sage:
81 have set aside $10,000,000 for the
endowment of this foundation Its
object is the improvement of social
and living conditions in the United
States.
"The means to that end will include
research, publication, education, the
establishment and maintenance OF
charitable and beneficial activities,
agencies and institutions, and the aid
of any such activities, agencies, and
institutions already established.
ut will be within the scope of the
foundation to investigate and study
the causes of adverse social conditions,
including ignorance, poverty and vice,
to suggest how these conditions can
be remedied or ameliorated, and to
put in operation any appropriate means
to that end.
ut will also be within the scope OF
the foundation to establish any new
agency necessary to carry out any OF
its conclusions and equally to contrib
ute to the resources of any existing
agencies which are doing efficient and
satisfactory work, just as the present
general education fund, organized to
promote higher education, is aiding
existing colleges and universities.
while its scope is broad, it should,
preferably not undertake to do within
that scope what is now being done,
and likely to be effectively done, by
other individuals or by other agencies
with less resources. 1t will be its aim
to take up the larger and more diff
cult problems and to take them up, SO
far as possible, in such a manner as to
secure cooperation and aid in their
solution.
"In some instances 1t may wisely
initiate movements with the eXpecta
ton of having them maintain them
selves until aided after once being
started. In other instances, 1t may start
movements with the expectation OF
carrying them on itself. The income
will only be used for its charitable pur
poses because the foundation is to be
permanent and its action continuous
It may, however, make investments
for social betterment which them
selves produce income.
while having it's headquarters In
New York City, where Mr. Sage and
I have lived and where social prob
lens are most pressing and complicat
ed, partly by reason of its extent and
partly because it is the port OF entry
for about a million immigrants year
the foundation will be national in its
scope and in it's activities.
81 have sought to select as my trus
tees men and women who are familiar
with social problems and who car
bring to their solution not only yea
