Secretary of Navy Completes
Official Duties With
the Fleet
Praises Warmth of CaIifOrnia'S
Reception to Officers and
Enlisted Men

Secretary OF the Navy Victor H. Net
calf departed yesterday morning on the
Southern Pacific overland limited for
Washington after completing all of the
business in connection with the arrival
OF the fleet.
Secretary MetcaIf expressed himself
as highly pleased with the reception
which had been given to the feet. He
said:
The extent OF the welcome to the
ships and the men was splendid. 1t
was one Of the most enthusiastic and
spontaneous expressions OF sentiment
which has ever been recorded. One OF
the noteworthy elements in it was the
utter absence Of anything like discrimi-
nation as between officers and enlisted
men. The enlisted men were made
welcome everywhere, and the uniform of
the United States navy was an open
sesame in the hearts of our people.
That uniform means something and it
means that the wearer of it is entitled
to and should receive the respect Of the
people.
This demonstration over the f1eets
has been good for the navy and IL has
been good for California The men OF
the fleets have been overwhelmed by
the warmth OF the reception
The secretary made references to the
ball last night in san Francisco- Com
menting. he said: i was proud Of the
women of my state. Itiwas a delight

The visitors who went out to the
ships of the fleet yesterday showed a
disposition to distribute their atten-

since the fleet arrived. When the ships
first began to receive visitors every
body wanted to go on board the Con-
necticut. and as a result the hagships
port gangway was jammed all day
There are 10 other battleships in the

Some of the others are also nagships
and most of them have been There
were visitors on nearly all the ships
yesterday, even those anchored near

sea during the day and visiting the

Several musical numbers interrupted
the chatter and laughter of the after

best loved of all the city's singers, sang
several solos. and Miss Siegfried West

cars for each start, but only two were

the seamen had good time.
The boys along the observation

The forty odd who got away from the

though observant. till they crossed De-

enthusiastically to the warmth of their
greeting.
One shy miss, solitary along a block
in Richmond, received an ovation for

day several additional cases came to
light in the arrest by Detective J. w.
Cowan of George Runlsey and three
sons on whose premises several spoolS
of barb Wire We're found. The wire
was stolen several months ago by these
homesteaders, who strung it around
their claims. Later, when it got noised
about that the railroad company was
investigating, the Ru1nseyS got wise
and tore down the fence, throwing the
wire into their dam. The heavy rains
washed it out and they then covered
1t up in a draw on their farm. h
men were tried and found guilty and
given a heavy fine and jail sentence,
but the company's representative asked
hat the sentence be suspended on
goo behavior and the return of the
property, which was done, the men be-
ing poor and unable to pay the fines.
Cowan claims his has suf-

during the past year. Some SO cases

ous measures We're inaugurated today

LITTLE GIRL CAUSES
RAILROAD TO EXPEND
$3.50 FOR ICE CREAM

Miller, S. D., July 2S.--This is the
story of how a "souiiess" railroad com
any provided a 6-year-old girl with a
cone of. ice cream at a cost of $500.
When the east bound passenger train
arrived here Thursday afternoon, the
sun was pouring out heat at a rate that
caused big and little folks to think
of such things as lemonade and ice
cream. When the train came to a full
stop a little girl, wet and grimy from
the heat and dust, who had boarded
the train at Harold with her mother,
ran quickly up the street a block to
an ice cream store. In her hand she
clutched tightly a nicke which she
exchanged with the man behind the
counter for a cone OF ice cream.
Though she ran all the way back the
train had gone before she reappeared
around the station. Her mother
thought the child still on board and
so while the little one cried in terror
on the Miller platform, the train puffed
on out of sight. The engineer had just
whistled for st. Lawrence when a hys-
terical mother frightened the conductor
into stopping the train. ALL the three
and a half miles back to Miller the
train was hurried. Now the reports Of
the Interstate Commerce commission
show that the average earning per
train mile is $3.50. At this rate the
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railroad COM
pany expended $500 that this little
girl might have a cone of ice cream.
But when the lager mother clasped the
little girl in her arms and their tears
mingled the conductor muttered to
himself something about it's aayfne
been worth The trouble.

FISH STORY PROVEN
BY MISSING CALF

Worthing, S. D., July 29.-During the
last high water large pickerel and carp
made their way up a drainage canal in
Grant township, this county, with a re-
suit that Henry Hanson, a farmer, lost
a young calf carried off by a giant
carp. Melvin Sundvoid tells the story
as reported by Henry Hanson. The
farmer heard a noise among his cattle
one night and rushed out toward the
trouble, which he found was near the
canal. He found a number Of calves
standing belly deep in water and no.
ticed one little calf making a desper-
ate effort to pull it's tail free from
something. The farmer in his bare legs
was afraid of the barb wire, but he
wade toward the calf and just as he
caught it a monster carp dashed the
water all over him and for a moment
he was blinded. Wiping the water from
his eyes, he found the cali was being
dragged towards deep water. He made
a desperate effort to reach the little an
lmal before it was dragged into the ca
nal, but he failed. and the calf strug-
agled until finally it was drowned. The
farmer released his cattle and drove
them to higher ground to protect them
from the attacks of the fish.

Perhaps the most important question
to come before the voters at that time
will be the county option law, which
promises to become n of the chief
issues in the campaign which now Is
about to open. Already the liquor in

the state are actively at work prepara-
tory to the fight to a finish between

proposed law.
The adoption or rejection of the pro-
posed new divorce law, raising the per-
iod of residence from six months to n
yea and making other changes in the
n of granting divorces in South
Dakota, is also an issue.
What is known as the Sunday clos
ing law also will be voted upon at that
time. This is a law to prevent Sunday
theaters, Sunday ball games and other
amuscments on the Sabbath.
A law pertaining to the shooting of
quail also will be submitted to the
voters for adoption or rejection.
One of the changes in the constitu-
ton which is proposed is the raising of
