TAFT EXPLAINS WHY He SIGNED
THE PAYNE TARIFF MEASURE

Washington, Aug. 5-President

embodying his views OF the new tariff
act. He supported it as a sincere cf-
fort for downward revision.
The statement follows.
81 have signed the Payne tariff bin

OF sincere effort on the part OF the
Republican party TO make downward

few increases in rates,

stitute a sufficient amount to justify

duction of excessive rates.

was not intended TO be. The Repub-
lican party did not promise to make

1T promised TO make the rates pro-
tective. but TO reduce them when they
exceeded the difference between The

cess has not been reduced in a num-
Der of cases. in great majority the

CUSTER OFFERS 100 ACRES
FOR TUBERCULOSIS FARM

Deadwood, S. D., Oct. 25.-The state
board OF charities and corrections is in.
session lin the Black Hills, with a view
to deciding upon the location of h tu-
b~erculosis s~anitarfum at Custer. There
was a movement on the part of the
board to locate he institution at some
place with a lower altitude, It being
thought that the elevation at Custer
was a little higher than would be to
the best interests of the patients. With
this end in view II was contemplated
locating the ~sanitarium near Hermosa.
The conclusion has been reached that
the law enacted last winter by the leg
islature for the establishment of such
an institution Mt Custer Is mandatory
as to location. and the board has there
fore made an additional trip to look
into the matter. They are at Custer to-
day and will look yer a number of
sites. The Business club Of the city
of Custer has offered to donate 100 acres
and has also submitted a number Of
sites. 1t is expected that q decision
will be reached within the next few
days. -. ..
Dr.. Rate, who was a representative
from Custer county last winter n
through whose efforts the bill was
passed. holds to the belief that Custer
Is the best place for such III institution.
He says that the altitude is not too
high and that the fine air and the heal
ing odors of the pine make 1t an ideal
place for tubercular patients,

EQUAL SUFFRAGE
lNJECTS ITSELF
INTO CAMPAIGN
Workers Are Early in the Field
With Assistance From Ma
tional Leaders.

Pierre, 81 d., Oct. 22.-With the adj
vent of Mrs. Helen LaReine Baker into
the state the campaign for equal suf-
frage will start forward with all the
impetus that organization and oratory
can give Ii. Mrs. Baker, who comes
from Spokane, is one OF the leaders OF
the movement in the nation n Is but
the advance guard Of a list OF promi-
nent women who will come from other
states where the issue is now passive
to South Dakota, where the recent
legislature, with an impulse Of gener-
osity, gave the champions of equal
suffrage more than they were asking AT
its hands.
Such noted leaders in the state as
Mrs. s. H.. Cranner n Mrs. j. "A.
Pickler, Of Faulkton; Mrs. Pauline
Johnson, of Fort Pierre, and Mrs. 8. A.
Ramsey, of Woonsocket, deemed 1t wise
to ask the legislature to submit the
question Of limited suffrage for women
based upon a property or guardianship
qualification. The measure was IN the
last throes of the death agony in the
house when II was moved to amend
by substituting equal suffrage, and the
amendment carried, not only in the
house, but in the senate also, n found
a warm friend in the governor, who
promptly approved the measure. The
success Of h contention which had
been waged before the Legislature since
its first defeat in 1890 has inspired the
workers and the proposition is one
which will command the attention of
the politicians as well as the voters
of the state in the campaigI. which Is
now planned.

Grated bishop to the Indians in 1873.
His residence was at Sioux Falls, and
upon the formation Of the two states
of the Dakotas he became the bishop
OF South Dakota. With three exceptions
he was the Oldest bishop in the Epis-
copal church in America.
William Hobart Hare was born at
Princeton, N. j. on May IL, 1888. HIS
grandfather was Bishop Hobart, of
New York, and his father was the Rev.
George e. Hare, professor In the Phila-
delphia divinity school. Bishop Hare
was ordained deacon in 1859 and ad-
vanced to the priesthood three years
later. After holding two cures in
Philadelphia he was appointed secre-
tary and general agent of the foreign
committee of the missionary society
in 1870. ....
The following year he was nomi-
mated by the house Of bishops for the
missionary bishopric Of Cape Palmas,
West Africa, but the nomination was
withdrawn on the representation of the
lower house Of the general convention
that his services were Invaluable IN the
office which he then held. g.
In 1872 he was elected missionary
bishop of Niobrara, that being the
name given to a district in Dakota and
Nebraska, then chiefly occupied by
Indian tribes. The election was ac-
cepted and he was consecrated a bishop
at Philadelphia on January 8. 1873, be-
ing mex in line of bishops to his
fatherinlaw, Bishop Howe, OF Central
Pennsylvania
He was the Tooth bishop in the line
OF the American episcopate. Only one
bishop had been consecrated SC young.
In 1891 and again in 1892 Bishop Hare
visited Japan as the accredited repre-
sentative Of the Episcopal church

EXPLODING CARTRIDGES
IN HOUSE ON FIRE

Interior, S. d, Oct. 2S.-The explod-
Ing of a number OF cartridges, which
were in the building, prevented a
homesteader named Weeks and his sis
ter, living les here, from saving the
structure when 1t caught fire from a
gasoline stove. The stove exploded and
the burning liquid was splashed all over
the interior, which in a moment was a
mass of flames. The cartridges became
heated almost as soon as the fire start
ed and began exploding and throwing
bullets in every direction. The reports
made it sound like the commencement
of a battle and added to the excitement
~occasioned by the fire. The homestead
err n his sister narrowly escaped
death from the flying missiles. which
whizzed in close proximity to their
heads a number OF times: The fear Of
being killed by them prevented at
tempts being made to save any Of the
movable property. " .

GANG Of THIEVES
Hailed INTO COURT,
GET PRISON TERMS
Rivals of the Golden Circle"
and Jack Sully Landed Be-
hind the Bars.

Ipswich, s. D., Oct. 25.-Since the
days OF the Golden Circle" and the
breaking up of the famous Jack Sully
gang. which was reputed to be one
branch of It. no criminal case In the
central part OF South Dakota has been
followed with such keen interest as the
bringing to the bar of Justice of George
Mccarthy, Fred Cline and Frank Bran
dell at the recent term of court held
at Highmore, for horse stealing.
The two latter were tried and sem
fenced to three years in the state peni-
tertiary at Sioux Falls the former be-
Ing too sick to be tried at that term.
There has beer no case IN a good
many years In Hyde county where
there was a harder fight than that put
up to clear these parties. They were
represented by Attorneys Noel, Of
Highmore; Pausey, OF Miller. and Gard
ner, Fairbanks and Churchill, OF
Huron. The states case was taken
care of by States Attorney Royal G.
Johnson and III. J. Bushfeld, of Miller.
The state had witnesses on It's be-
half not only from all over the state
of South Dakota, but even summoned
one party who lives in Ohio, and one
inmate of the penitentiary at Sioux
Falls was brought to Highmore to
testify.
Farmers Were Sufferers.
FOr years mis- part Ol the StdIc uds
been overriden with horse thieves, and
more than one farmer has awakened
in the morning to find n of his best
teams gone. The officers seemed I'M
able to cope with the situation and 1t
was not until the past two or three
years, when a younger class OF men
have been elected to office, that there
has been a check in horse stealing and
cattle rustling. To do his has been an
almost impossible task, for in the old
days the gang would steal a bunch OF
horses and get them out of the coun-
try as fast AS possible. Now, they are
satisfied to taxi two or three n drive
them possibly all II night, or pos
sibly only a few hours, and leave them
in some large pasture of a confederate,
or in the pasture OF some innocent
party who was in the habit OF not look
ing al his horses for days or weeks at
a time. They will then leave them
there for a day or possibly longer,
when another member Of the gang
would make another all night drive
with them, when they would be finally
gang and would be sold to some horse
buyer and shipped out with other
horses. Under his system. IL any
horses were found in the possession OF
a member OF the gang who did not
| actually steal them, he would have alb
solutely nc trouble in proving an
alibi.
In the above cases the authorities Of
Hyde county and more particularly
States Attorney Royal c. Johnson,
starting upon a mere suspicion, traced
one OF the horses taken In August,
1908, to Miller. S. d., from there to
Ce~nterville, s. D., and hen on to Chi
cago, and from Chicago to a little town
in Northern Ohio, where it was SOLD
TO q farmer.
