There are many III MoDrldge
| who are not familiar with the laws

benefit Of all such persons a sum
mary Of these laws is given, taken
from the Revised Statues Of South
Dakota Of 1903 and subsequent

pie themselves must attend to 1t.
The saloons would go just as far
in the other direction as the people
let them.
The laws Of our state forbid

lin or her before a competent
magistrate. He also will sieze the
machines, and if upon the trial of
,uch person he or she shall be con-
| victed Of q violation of any such
provisions of said section the court
shall order as a part Of his judg-
ment, in addition to the penalty
herein provided, that the officer
having the custody of such ma
chine shall publicly destroy the
same.
Any peace officer who fails to
inform against and prosecute all
persons whom they have credible
reason to believe, are offenders
against the provision of this chap
ter, is punishable by a fine not ex-
ceeding five hundred dollars.

intoxicating liquor to any minor;
or to any intoxicated person; or to
any person in the habit OF get

HOW ABOUT THE
TURKISH BATHS?

Turkish bath houses will likely
experience some difficulty in OPP
Grating under the old profitable and
disreputable plan that some of
them have followed if the strict
regulation movement beginning to
emenate from the Pratt admins
tration continues.
Certain of the bath houses have
long been notorious as disreputa-
BILE places. but nothing could ever
be accomplished toward prose-
cutting
They sold liquor in defiance Of
city ordinances, if reports appar-
entity credible were true, and car
ried on other crooked business.
Gambling is another violation
that will yield something to the
right kind of inquiry. The cover
nearly came off the whole thing
when one Of the partners in the
biggest gambling house in the city
went to the chief of police as
arbiter in dispute over profits,
and the fact became known, but
that was hushed up shortly before
Chief Rice resigned to take charge
of booster work. II the gambling
ceased at that time a wonderfully
lifelike imitation of the real thing
has been maintained for some rea-
son.
The police department has or
dered women attendants out of the
shooting galleries. The fact that
| many of them were there for other
purposes than pretended has also
| been a matter of ancient knOwl-
| edge, even under the recent reform
| administration. In spite of the
latter, it has been found necessary
to lately order women kept out OF
saloon boxes with especial refer
| ence to the Occur d'Alene, the in
| iquity of which was the rallying cry
| in the reform campaign of two
years ago.

DEPRAVED BROTHER IS
CONVICTED

A jury in Judge Huneke's court
today found Leslie Gilman guilty OF
contributing to the delinquency OF
his sister, Pearl Gilman, after con-
sidering the result over night. He
took her into saloons.
After the verdict the young man
was re-arrested and his bond on
appeal of the case placed at $1,000.
Teh penalty for conviction is a fine
not exceeding $1,000, to which may
be added a Jail sentence of not
over one year.
The defense was made that the
boys sister had already fallen from
grace and that no act of his could
further contribute to her moral UNI
doing.

WOMAN WEEPS
OVER GLEN
WHILE ANOTHER TO WHOM
HE HAD MADE LOVE GIVES
UP LETTERS THAT CORROB-
CRATE STATES CONTENTION

Mrs. Ada Douglas of the Lynne
hotel, who claims to have a prom
Use of marriage from Paul Clein,
the man now on trial for the MUIR
der of John Saudawski, was led
away from the door of the court
room today noon weeping freely.
She is detained as a witness and
is not permitted to enter the court
room, but with lot of others, oc-
cupies long bench at the court
room door. Some of the women
near led Mrs. Douglas away, con-
soling her in a sympathetic way as
they moved along.
Inquiry of the daughter of Mrs.
Douglas as to the occasion for this
demonstration ELECTED the re-
spouse that Mama does not talk
to reporters. She has a severe
headache and that is all there is
to it,"
The emotion of Mrs. Douglas is
believed to be due to the action of
another sweetheart of Clein, May
Randall of Kaslo, b. c., who walked
into the prosecutors office last
night and placed on his table a
large bundle of love letters written
to her by Clein. In a number OF
these letters Clein spoke of their
approaching marriage, thereby
showing that while he was engaged
to marry Mrs. Douglas he had also
agreed to marry May Randall.
The Kaslo woman told Deputy
Prosecutor Donovan that she had
washed her hands of Clein and
would have nothing further to dc
with him, even though he were
acquitted.
Among the letters turned over tC
the state by May Randall are some
making demands on her for money
corroborating the contention of the
state that Clein was in hard lines
financially and murdered Saudaw
ski to get little ready cash. The
letters will be used as evidence.

THREE WITNESSES
IN MURDER CASE

Three witnesses were examined
this morning in the Clein murder
case, C. Sparrow, the expressman
who hauled Saudawskfs effects to
the Great Northern depot on the
night of the MURDER; ID. A. Car
penter, the baggage man who re.
ceived the goods, and John A..
Palmer, the parcel man who
checked some more of Saudawski's
belongings.
Charles Koneki, the chum of Sau-
dawski, Mrs. Koneki and Mrs.
Gump, who conducts the boarding
house at which the murdered man
lived, were the witnesses yesterday
afternoon.
Koneki identified the dead man S
effects, including the graphophone
which has played so prominent a
part in the case. Accompanying the
graphophOne are a number of rec
ords, including a weird Polish piece
that Saudawski lover to hear and
would play for hours at a time. 1t
may be that this record will be put
on the machine and played for the
jury as evidence in the case later
in the trial.
During the examination of Mrs.
Mrs. Koneki, who can not speak
English. Fred Schade WAS called as
interpreter to translate from Ger.
man into English what she said.
Schade was thanked by Judge Web

MOTHER EXPLAINS LORLNG,S
USE OF TWO NAMES

w. A. Loring is the real name
Of the Montana mining man and
photographer reported to have
been drowned in the river on the
night of April % while attempting
to take a picture of the upper falls.
Practically all speculation as to his
reasons for using the name OF
Loring in some places and Scott
in others, and the mystery as to
his real name, is cleared up in the
following letter, written by Lor-
ing's mother to clear up the mys-
terry surrounding her sons identity:
''In order to clear up the mys-
terry of my dead boys double
name-W. A. Loring or w. A,
Scott wish to make it clear to
the people.
His own father, who died when
he, Loring, was three years old,
was Charles Loring. His STEP
father, whom l married two years
later, is c. A. Scott. and up to the
present time he ehas gone by his
&C. A. Scott name. He got int
debt on account of -the mining COM
pany, expecting them to help him
out, but they did not, SO he left
and took up his own name again
so they would not bother him I'M
til he could get enough money to
square up with.
81 know he intended to settle up
those debts just as soon as he
could get the money. They were
on unsecured notes and amounted
to about 5000. feel sure he did
not commit suicide, as he was of a
very courageous and cheerful ma
ture and he had some very valua.
BILE mining stock in escrow, be-
sides some valuable patents. He
has always been very honest and
square until he contracted this
debt. Mrs. c. A. Scott. Box 81
Utica, Mont"
This letter was written April 80
and it looks perfectly clear that
the missing mans mother had
been thoroughly informed of the
fate supposed to have befallen him
Consequently, it is believed by
some that Loring's stepfather, G.
A. Scott. who wrote to the police
stating that he had heard from
Mrs. Loring here, under date OF
June 2, stating that they were all
well" and that he had just heard
of his stepsons supposed death a
few days ago, was either mistaken
or endeavored to damage his step
sons interests.
Mrs. T. J. Bach, 01325 Ash
street. has stated that Mrs. Lor
ing not only wrote to her hus
bands folks telling them of his
death, but that she enclosed news
paper clippings regarding 1t.

FATHER WANTS TO
HEAR FROM SON

Written in a nervous scrawl, a
letter asking for information con-
corning Fred Edison was received
this morning by Mayor Pratt from
the missing mans father, j. E. Ed
son, Mound Valley, Kan. The anx-
ious old father says his son worked
for John Trowbridge, 02204 At
lantic street, Spokane, several
months ago, and that he used to
hear from him occasionally, but
that for nearly six months he has
not had letter. He asks the mayor
to help him learn what is the
trouble. The letter was referred to
the police.

EVERYBODY CAN HAUL
OR BURN RUBBISH

"This town has got to be cleaned
from cellar to garrett" said Chief
State Sanitary Inspector Combs
this afternoon. 1.-THE board Of
health and the crematory depart
ment have gotten together and 20
additional teams and wagons have
alreadS been secured by the crema-
tory department to get the garbage
and refuse into ashes as soon as
possible. Z.
"In addition to this, property
owners are at liberty to get anyone
they wish to haul their garbage.
but the man who hauls 1t must
first get permit from the crema-
tory department and take the
refuse to the crematory. This is
not to be done to keep string on
the garbage hauling, but to make
sure that the stuff will get to the
crematory instead Of on some 9TH
er mans vacant lot.
"The basement and alleys in this
town are in bad condition from
accumulations of garbage and
stuff and they must be cleaned
out. The ebusiness men are al
ready coming to the front fast in
the cleaning, and we want them all
to come, because We must have all
the help possible to get the city
cleaned up and the disease
stopped"
Health officers stated today that
all property owners in the outly-
ing districts would be allowed to
burn their rubbish on their own
property, but that those in town.
near the business district, must
have it hauled to the crematory, as
fires close in will cause too much
offensive smoke.

CHARGES STATE
OFFICERS
BEACH CITES VIOLATIONS OF
LAW PROHIBITING CREATION
OF DEFICITS AND ASKS IN
VESTiGATION OF ALL DE-
PARTMENTS.
(ey United Press)


OLYMPIA. May 20.--On the
theory that since an investigation
of state Offices has been started a
general housekeeping is in order,
w. M. Beach, member of the house
from Mason county. has filed
charges with the investigation conf
mittee formally alleging violations
of the statute forbidding depart
ment officers from overdrawing
their appropriations. The officers
responsible and deficits charged
follow:
State fair commissioners, $10,-
S99; western and eastern Washing
ton asylums. $4,000 each; school
for defective youth, $4,000; three
normal schools, $11,702; state
printing, 100000; postage de-
ficiency in state treasurer's office,
supposed to be efor extra clerk
hire: state superintendent public
instruction, $500: railroad commits
sion, $4,000: commissioner public
lands, $17,3S0.
Beach made up his list from de-
ficiency appropriations by the last
legislature and admits that 1t does
not cover all such appropriations.
He figures that an investigation
such as he advises will cover the
entire question. Beach at first OPP
posed the state investigation, but
now wants all state offices and in
situations included.
