HADLEY, IN SPECIAL MESSAGE.
URGES LICENSE FOR LID CLUB
declares Repeal of sunday Law
Better Than UnreRuIated sale
of Liquor.

JEFFERSON CITY, No, May SIT is
better that the law providing for the clos
ing of saloons on Sunday should be re-
pealed and the sale Of intoxicating liquors
should be transferred from the unlicensed
and unregulated lid club TO the licensed
and regulated saloon, than that present
conditions should continue"
This was the expression used bv Gov
ernor Hadley in a special message to the
Missouri legislature Friday in an effort
10 obtain the enactment Of a law reauir-
ing a state license for the sale of intoxi-
cants In social clubs throughout the state.
The executive asserted that opposition to
the measure from reputable social clubs
had caused its defeat in the senate and had
thus aided the organization in the larger
cities OF clubs which existed primarily for
the purpose of breaking the Sunday clos
ing law.
The governor declared that the absence
Of a license law left the police without
adequate resources against the disreputabIe
clubs and added that the onus OF this con-
dition must rest upon the general assembly
until regulating statutes asked are pro-
vided.

MERClLESS BLACK HAND
CRIME IN CHICAGO
wealthy Italian Cigar Maker shot
While Reading "a Newspaper
I'm n saloon.

CHICAGO, May S.-Another BLACK
Hand crime-merciless cruel and intangi-
Die was given to the police here to solve
tonight.
Mariana Zagone, AZ years old, n wealthy
cigar manufacturer, who has narrowly es-
capped death on three previous occasions.
through his refusal to comply with the
demands OF his mysterious enemies, was
shot in the temple while sitting in a
chair in his brother-in-law's saloon. and
is reported to be dying at the Polytechnic
hospital. When the police arrived they
found Zagone lying on the sidewalk in
front of the saloon. A revolver was found
under him. Joseph and Nicolasi armell
saloon keepers, were arrested, but they
protested that they knew nothing of the
shooting.
Further search by the police in the sa-
loon revealed a pool of blood on the
floor near a chair. In the rear they found
a rag that had been used to wipe blood
from the floor of the saloon. A closer in
spection showed that Zagone had been shot
probably while reading a paper and that
he had been dragged TO the sidewalk.
Mrs. Zagone told the police that her hus-
band had been shot at three times in the
last two years. Once he was shot in the
back while entering the house. A second
time he was shot at from the street as
he lay in bed. A few months ago he was
shot at through the front door.

SHIP SINKS In LAKESUPERIOR
Steamer Adelia Shores Goes Down Off
Whitefsh Point.
ALL ON BOARD ARE LOST
Vessel il Reported to Have Carried
"a Crew of Fourteen Men and
Seven Passeneers-Six Days
Overdue at Duluth.

DULUTH, Mimi, May 7.-Advices re-
ceiver here are to the effect that
the steamer Adelia Shores, six days over
due at Duluth, went down off Whitefish
point in Lake Superior with all on board.
The crew and passengers numbered twenty
one. Details will not be obtainable until
late.
News of the destruction of the steamer
was brought here tonight by the crew of
the steamer Northland, who say hat as
the latter was passing Whitefish point,
Lake Superior that wreckage was floating
all over the lake and that in their opinion
it was from the Shores. The Shores is
a week overdue here.
The Adelia Shores belong to the Manx
Transit company of cleveland and is said
to nave been up-bound from Michigan with
a cargo Of salt. 1t is said that the pas
sengers and crew numbered twenty-one,
but this cannot be verified. The gale In
which 1t probably foundered last week and
in which also the Aurania. the Russia and
the Nestor went down was one of the
fiercest in the history of Lake Superior for
this season of the year. The wind at times
gained a velocity of seventy miles an hour.
This, with the violent sonwstorm prevail
ing for three days made navigation ex-
tremely perilous.

South Dakota Settler on School Land
Makes Application.
HAS VALUABLE IMPROVEMENTS
Applicant Asserts He Settled on Land
Before survey of stanley County
was Approved by the state
In 1891.

PIERRE. s. D., May S.-tSpecialO-A
peculiar application for a homestead filing
was made at the land office here. the
applicant being John Holland of Stanley
county, who desires to make a homestead
filing on a portion of section Is, twnship Z
north, g east. The tract is state school
land, and as such has been leased by Hol-
land since 1902, about which time the State
department began to look after the state
lands west of the river. no one paying any
attention to leases in that section Of the
state until about that time. Holland alleges
that he settled upon the tract before the
survey of that part OF the state, locating
in 1889. while the survey was not approved
until 1891. He claims to have 5000 of i'm
proVements on the tract. The state will
oppose the application on the ground that
a m has ninety days after the filing
of a survey in the land office in which to
make his claim on such lands, and that
Holland made no such effort until the pres
ent. after the state has had possession for
eighteen years.
Articles Of incorporation have been filed
for the German-American State bank at

Land brings StiH Prices.
State Land Commissioner Dokken re-
turned today from a trip to the southern
part Of the state, where he sold lands in
the counties of Miner, %Jerauld, Aurora,
Douglass, Minnehaha. Charles Mix and
Gregory. On the trip he sold 1870 acres
of school lands. bringing to the permanent
school fund a total of 1921, O6S, or an average
of practically $5 an acre. These figures
indicate the demand for lands in this state,
when 1t is considered that not an acre OF
this land had any Improvement of any kind
upon 1t, all being raw prairie. In the same
section Of the state the improved land is
being held at from SO to $S higher than
the raw land, the difference being in the
class and character of the improvements.
p. w. Doughtery of the State Railway
commission was in the city today looking
up new laws of the last session so far as
they affect railroads. The State Railway
commission has not compiled the railroad
laws of the state into pamphlet form for

ting them all shaped up to date, and Il
was on this work that Mr.. Doughtery
came here. to secure the list up to date
just as they were passed.

OCCUPATION TAX SUSTAINED
Supreme Court of Nebraska Upholds
Lincoln Ordinances.
REAFFIRMs ITS EARLIER OPINION
Telephone Company In Denied n Re-
hearing and Traction COmpRny's
Plea for Immunity from the
Tax IL Denied.
(From a staff Correspondent.

LINCOLN, May S.-The supreme court
has filed opinions holding that the street
railways and the telephone companies Of
Lincoln must comply with ordinances re-
curing the payment of an occupation tax.
In the Traction case the court reaffirms
an opinion formerly given in the telephone
case. In the telephone case the court re-
fuses to grant a rehearing.
The Traction company has fought the
occupation tax ordinance since it became a
law January 1, 1907 The principal objec-
ton raised by the Traction company was
that it had to pay 5 per cent on its gross
receipts and that the same ordinance per-
mits the city to credit the Citizens COM
pany upon the occupation fund with what
ever per cent that COMPANY agreed to pay
in return for its franchise. For the fran
chise, the Citizens ompany paid $1,000 and
was to pay ! per cent on gross receipts
for fifteen years and 2 per cent thereafter.
In the telephone case, in which a re-
hearing is denied, the court filed an opin-
ion holding that the ordinance relating to

Big Pool Among
British Makers of
Iron and Steel
Agent Makes Exhaustive Report on
Combination by Which Rail and
Plate Makers Fix Prices.

WASHINGTON. May S.-Pools among bar
makers. rail pools and other combinations,
a third of a century's steadiness in the
quantity of native iron ore mined, and the
variation in values of such products are
among the matters threshed out in a report
on the conditions OF the British iron and
steel industry, submitted by Charles NJ.
Pepper, special agent of the bureau OF
manufacturers The values of the ore are
on a gradually lowering scale. The report
quotes figures of the cost of production Of
pig iron in the leading manufacturing dis
tricts, ranging from 1922 on the east coast
to Sl3 20 per ton for the Bessemer or
Pematite OF the west coast. The Ultimate
cost per ton OF British steel in Bessemer
works having auxiliary blast furnaces, he
states, to be 1895 for steel ingots and
$3.50 for steel rails.
Mr.. Pepper places the cost OF the pig
iron in this manufacture at $1a5O. Wages
are given as follows:
Per ton OF pig iron, S1.oo; per ton Of
ingots, SO cents: per ton OF rails, 81. IS.
The report shows a British rail pool.
which not only fixes the price, but names
the companies by which deliveries shall
be made to the railways. This is affiliated
with the international Rail syndicate. OF
which the British mills are members
There are price conventions or trust agree
ments in the galvanized sheet Industry and
among the marked bar makers. One of the
most effective combinations is that among
the makers of ship plates and angles. When
the home demand is dull and foreign bust
ness is wanted badly a difference of s.
per ton is about the average between home
and foreign prices in favor of the foreign
buyer. but some times It is greater. The
formation of these trade combinations both
as to home and foreign sales is said by
Mr.. Pepper to be growing among the
British manufacturer.
