PARENTS MUST PROVIDE
FOR THEIR DEPENDENTS

For the first time since the passage
of the new juvenile law by the last
legislature, the section providing for
fine or Imprisonment of parents WHO
fail to contribute to the support of
their minor children was invoked in
Judge Wilbur's court yesterday.
The cases are those in which Bag
sio Rosatti and Jose S. Redona, Ital-
ians, are charged with neglecting their
families, and the cases were set down
for trial early next week.
In case of conviction the new law
fixes a maximum punishment of $1,000
fine or year in the penitentiary, or
both.

FRIES FORWARDS REPORT
OF SURVEY AT SAN PEDRO
Sends to War Department Result OF
Preliminary Work on Inner
Harbor

Capt A. A. Fries. United States en-
gineer in charge of the Los Angeles
district, forwarded yesterday to the
war department a report of the pre-
liminary survey of the inner harbor of
San Pedro, as called for in resolution
passed by congress and on which was
predicated the apportionment for the
improvement of the harbor.
The report embodies the preliminary
survey of the harbor, together with
an estimate of the cost of making
further survey and more general and
accurate survey. If the report is APP
proved the engineers office will pro-
coed to make a survey and estimate of
cost for the work contemplated.
The work covers the dredging of two
channels, one 200 feet wide, extending
from the present turning basin up to
the northeast corner of the east basin,
and one from the turning basin to the
northwest corner of the west basin.

BROADHURST WILL NOT
ALTER "THE DOLLAR MARK"
Playwright Believes Characters Re-
sembIance Is Complimentary to
the Late n. n. Rogers

After consideration George H. Broad
hurst has decided not to alter the dia-
logue or situations of THE Dollar
Mark" or its forthcoming New York
presentation at Days, despite the close
resemblance between the character of
Carson Baylis and Henry H. Rogers,
the millionaire Standard Oil magnate,
who died this week Mr.. Broadhurst
communicated his decision to friends in
this city yesterday.
The playwright does not believe the
stage explorations of the Rogers char
acteristics in business and private life
can possibly prove in the least ob1ec-
tionable to his surviving relatives. The
character of Carson Baylis is really a
eulogy, it is urged, and a gloritication
of a typically successful American mill
lionaire.
The play, which opened in phe-
nomenal run at the Belasco here, will
be put on at Days in October I'M

SMALL LOAvES OF BREAD
SELL FOR 10 AND Is CENTS

NEW YORK, May 21.-The bread
famine on the east side caused by the
strike of union bakers has been only
partly relieved by the demands for
bread made in Brooklyn, the Bronx

Small loaves of bread where they
could be had at all, were selling at 10

other sections of the city unaffected
by the strike sent their wagons loaded
with bread into the east side and

Hereafter hurricanes may level tele-
graph poles and ice storms may load
telegraph and telephone wires until
they are torn down like spiders gos-
samer in hailstorm, but the Buffalo
News will be able to receive news of
the world uninterruptedly through its
own wireless telegraph plant" said Ed
win H. Butler the millionaire owner of
the Buffalo News recently.
This little speech of Buffers serves
to illustrate the attitude of the pub
fishers of big eastern newspapers.
Since the triumph of wireless over the
elements on March 4, when the news
of the inauguration of President Taft
was sent out from Washington by
wireless, newspaper men have awak-
ened to the fact that unless they have
other means of communication with the
outside world, besides wires, they are
likely at anytime to be badly scooped.
Apparatus on Roofs
But the Buffalo News is not the only
paper to recognize the value of the
wireless telegraph. The Boston Daily
Herald also has ordered a wireless set
of instruments placed on the roof of
it's building. Since the establishment
of wireless communication between
New York and Chicago the New York
Tribune has made arrangements for a
wireless news connection with the IL
linois city. The string of Munsey pa
pers at Washington, Baltimore and
Philadelphia, besides having their own
leased wires, have arranged for a wire
less news service between these cities.
The New York Herald's ocean-going
news-gathering tug is equipped with a
powerful United wireless set and this
paper makes a feature of wireless ma
rine news. 1t was because of its wire
less equipment that the Herald was
able to score a big news beat at the
time the Republic was sunk by the
Florida.
Triumph at Inauguration
1t was the triumph of wireless at the
time of the recent presidential in
auguration that caused the newspaper
men to take notice. In spite of the
weather mans forecast for q fine day,
March 4, 1909. will go down in history
as the day on which Washington city
was swept by a blizzard that laid low
all wires connecting it with the out
side world. The Baltimore News and
eastern papers that had detailed ac-
counts of the Inauguration that even
ing.
When the other eastern newspaper
publishers awoke to the fact that wire
less had beaten them they Immediately
began to lay plans to avert such con-
tingency in the future. The Buffalo
News has been the first to have it's
own plant erected. The News expects
to gather information of the Great
Lakes shipping, as well as that of the
Atlantic coast with it's wireless sta
ton.
So far 20 newspaper on the Pacific
Coast has it's own wireless plant, but
several of the dailies have exclusive
access to the news received by wire
less.

ELECTION OF SENATORS.

Congress submits to the state al
income tax amendment that may
reach the in the near future. One
providing for the popular election of
senators is OH the way. This is one
which the senate never would vote
to submit to the states. but there is
another way to get it before them.
The constitution says that upon the
application of the legislatures of two
thirds Of the states congress shall
call a convention for proposing amend
ment." One by one during the last
few years state legislatures have been
adopting resolutions requesting con
gress to call a convention for the pur-
pose of submitting an amendment for
the direct election of senators.
Twenty-seven of them are now on
record. They have spoken for:
Arkansas, California, Colorado, lido
no, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas,
Kentucky. Louisiana, Michigan, Mime
sofa. Montana, Missouri, Nebraska,
Nevada, North Carolina, Oklahoma,
Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota,
Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington,
Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Only four more states are needed to
make up the twothirds. New Eng
land is not likely to furnish any of
them, but several southern states
which have not moved in the matter
yet may make up the quota. Then it
would be necessary for congress to
call a convention. 1t would be the
first of the kind, and it might be of
the opinion that it had a right to pro-
pose other amendments than the one
relating to the election of senators.
But while 1t needs only t~hirty-one
states to call a convention, 1t takes
thirty-fve to ratify ar amendment.
Judging from present indications, the
six New England states. New York,
and New Jersey, would not ratify one
for the popular election Of senators,
Here are eight of the twelve states
whose action would defeat it.-Chi.

The state board of equalization, now
in session at Pierre, has increased
the assessments Of express compan-
les In the state over $780, 00. and
the Pullman Car company was hand
ed an increase of $4,000. The rail-
roads will undoubtedly be looked after
and given substantial increases, as
well as other corporations, but it is
expected that the greatest boosts will
be on real estate. This is on account
of the radical raises adopted by the
county auditors at their March, meet
ing and on account of the addition
of a large amount of land to the tax
lists through final proofs. The total
assessed valuation for the state is e
pected to be well above the $500 ,000,-
900 mark.

does not ordinarily take place on
pleasure trips. With the trains were
eighteen mothers with children. At a
station some miles east of Rapid City
the supply of milk for four of the in
fants was exhausted and none could
be purchased at the station. Conduc-
tor Chambers, taking in the situation,
emptied his dinner pail and made a
lively run to a pasture some distance
away, returning in a few minutes with
the pail nearly full of rich milk, which
he gave to the mothers for their fam
ished infants, then directed tn cen
gineer to pull out for Rapid City,
where the party arrived in the best
of humor.

FARMING METHODS IMPROVED.

Judge A. E. Chamberlain, of
Bookings, is credited with having
more than an average ability as an
agriculturist and a crop expert and
this year he has given quite a wide
range to his desire to post himself
of South Dakota crop conditions; in
other words he has been over the
state, and now says that there r
counties in the state that have the
best looking crops they ever had. He
finds where a super abundance of
moisture has left it's damaging mark
but believes these scars in the fields
will heal up and crop over before har-
vest. The judge says the farmers Of
the state are becoming enlightened
in regard to improved farming and
are prepared to take advantage of
conditions which a few years ago
would have been considered beyond
remedy; and he imputes this ad-
vance in better farming methods
and more thorough knowledge and
general knowledge Of the agricultural
art to the farmer school of the state
and to the farmers Institutes. This
statement Of Mr.. Chamberlain is en-.

AN CASE.

Theht Lake Sinai drainage case,
which was tried in Brookings last
week. Ia 0ne of the most important
cases of it's nature ever brought to
trial in this state. 1t effects the right
Of owners of real estate to drain their
lands into meandered lakes, and tends
to establish the point that no rights
may be obtained over m~eandered
lands which will deny the improve
merit of such tracts at the expense
Of the meandered accretions.
In the Lake Sinai case a ditch was
projected which would drain several
sloughs of considerable extent. carry
ing the water into the lake. The own
err of a piece of land contiguous to the
lake feared that the added water
would flood the land gained beyond
the meandered line by evaporation,
and enjoined operations. Examina-
ton OF the premises showed that the
drainage would not be apt to affect
the decided land, and as the water
thus sought to be directed irto the
lake bed followed a natural channel.
the jury decided that there was no
competent ground for complaint. and
in this decision the Judge concurred.
There IL q large amount Of real es-
tate lying ready for drainage. which
