CRIME OF CRIpPEN
KILLS HIS FATHER
Parent Of Physician Condemned
to Die In London Succumbs
to Death In Los Angeles.

Los Angeles. Cal. Nov. H.-Myron
II. Crippen, the aged father Of DE-
Hawley H. Crippen, under sentence Of
death in London for the murder Of his
wife, died in this city today. friendless
and penniless. His death, due to the
infirmities of age, was FASTENED by
grief over his sons crime.
The elder Crippen was so years old.
His death occurred in a rooming house,
and the only person at his bedside was
the proprietress of the place. Hawley
III. Crippen, son Of DIR. Crippen, was
with the aged man during the night.
but left before death occurred. Haw-
ley Crippen is employed by a local tel
ephone company and is married.
DR.. Crippen was the sole support Of
his aged father, and since the sons
flight from London with Ethel Leneve,
and his arrest in Canada some months
ago, no remittance had come. Before
that time letters containing money
came regularly. and the old man lived
In comparative comfort. Facing actual
starvation, he was finally saved by a
few persons whom he had come to
know during his residence in Los An
geles. The landlady Of the rooming
house gave him room and a restaur-
ant keeper, at whose place he had been
accustomed to buying his meals, sup
piled them free. The old man believed
implicitly i'm the innocence Of his son.
A short time before death last night
he said to those with him:
1T won't be long before I go, but
my boy is innocent; he is q good boy"
He would never admit the possibility
of his sons guilt, nor did he betray
the fact that DIR. Crippen's troubles had
cut off his only means OF support.

lands QUITS The
BEEF TRUST CASE
Chicago Jurist Declines to Sit
In Trial Because He Once
Acted for Government.

Chicago, Nov. 21.--Judge Kensaw
M. Lands, in the United States dis
trict court today, announced to attor-
neys appearing before him seeking a
change of venue in the case against
the meat packers, that I've would be
unable to hear the case, irrespective
Of argument for or against such a
course.
The announcement was made during
a lul' In arguments in the effort Of
the packers to have the case trans
ferred to the United States circuit
court. The packers are charged with
conspiracy TO restrain trade, and are
specifically charged with having
formed the so-called beef trust" in
the shape of the National Packing
company.
In announcing his inability to sit in
the case, Judge Lands gave no hint
lof his possible action on the venue
argument IT lies within his power 20
refuse certification to the circuit court
and, instead, to transfer II, as dean of
the district court, to another district
Judge.
Shortly after his announcement
Judge Lands put off till November
70. further arguments. The question
at issue Is, shall Judge Lands GER
t1fy to the circuit court the whole
case against the packers, or will he
refuse such certifcation compelling the
defendants to accept trial before q
district judge
Judge Lands thus explained his re-
fusal to sit In the case:
considering the character and ma
ture OF the defendants averment. and
the proximity in point of time and my
employment as q member, of this bar as
an agent OF the department Of Justice
at least at the beginning of the period
respecting which the grand Jurors
heard evidence, regardless of the tech
meal propositions involved, 1t becomes
obvious / cannot hear the case. i will
send the case to my colleague, in the
district court, Judge Carpenter"
Attorneys John Miller, Levy Mayer
and Moritz Rosenthal, Of the packers,
insisted that this was impossible--that
the United States supreme court had
made II mandatory in such cases that
the certificates be made to circuit
court.
Judge Lands did not approve this
position and the hearing was put off
until November 81.

the case of the State VS.. James Hatten,
the jury found the defendant gailty
Of assault The complaining witness
was Mrs. Guy Bush, of East Pierre.
The case occupied the attention of the

cleaning. Before the case came up be-
fore the circuit court she paid the
costs and withdrew from further re-
monstrance against her fine.

.SISSETON INDIAN
PRODUCE GRAIN and
HOLD. COUNTY FAIR
One Serious Drawback Among
Dakota Sioux Is Acquired
Thirst for Whisky.

Aberdeen, s. D., Nov. 21.-The In
dams on the Sisseton reservation, In
the northwestern portion of South Da-
kota, are making rapid progress In
civilization. Major 8. A. Allen, the
reservation agent, says that while
dams are full bloods, IS per cent OF
them have become agriculturists and
have proven themselves thrifty and
fairly successful as farmers.
There are about 1000 Indians on the
reservation, which is so miles long and
40 miles wide. or the land, the In
dams have been allotted about AGO.
In the hands Of the whites.
Fair Rivals Counties Exhibits.
From this land the Indians this year
raised approximately 100000 bushels Of
wheat, $4,000 bushels of oats, 10000
bushels of corn, and 1000 bushels Of
flax. The fair this fall compared IA
vorably with any Of the county fairs
in South Dakota. Included in the ex-
hibits were 80 exhibits Of small grain,
vegetables. Fine showings were also
made Of cattle, horses, hogs, sheep,
chickens and other products Of the
farm.
Thirteen Churches There.
There are 13 churches on the reser-
walton, the Episcopal, Presbyterian and
Catholic denominations predominating.
During the last two years 125 good
farm houses have been built.
The Indians are. in the main, virtu-
Gus, self respecting, and show re-
markable affinity for civilization, the
only drawback to their advancement,
according to Major Allen, being their
fondness for liquor, which Is some
times supplied them by bootleggers, in
spite OF the strenuous efforts of the
government to keep the liquor dis
pensers out Of reach of the Indians.
A recent forcible illustration of the
demoralizing effect of whisky among
the Indians is that Of Jake Keocke who
was yesterday sentenced to five years
In the government prison at Fort Leav-
enworth, Kan, for the murder OF
George Kampeska. Both men filled up
on Peruna when they were unable to
get whisky at the regular places where
IL was kept on sale. and while in a
drunken condition, the crime was COM
mitted.

SOUTH DAKOTA WILL
meet 18th CHANGE
Plan to Shorten the Ballot and
Cut Down Expense OF Publ
cation by Counties.

Pierre, 3. D.. Nov. 23.--That either
r. c. Issenuth, Of SPHINX county or G.
]. Morris, Of Minnehaha, will be the
next speaker of the house. is regarded
as q certainty by state leaders who
have recently been here arranging Tor
accommodations for the coming SEES
sion, which will have some features OF
commanding interest.
Issenuth has three terms In the
house to his credit and Is one of the
most substantial men in the state
financially as well as personally. His
popularity was retarded somewhat by
his championship Of the negotiable in
strument' bill which went down to de-
feat six years ago, but he is today
a strong man in the north half of the
state. Morris Is credited with being
the leader of the progressive forces In
the house two years ago, when he
was chairman OF the judiciary commit
tee, and he also gathers some prestige
from coming from Minnehaha county,
which has disowned Kittredge as a
leader in politics and is inclined to fol-
low Morris. Whiting, of Sanborn, has
some following, and j. J.. Browne,
Of Brown" Aberdeen, will come back
after a vacation Of one term, probably
without ambition TO again succeed to
the speakership, which he held two
terms, but with friends who VIII want
to again honor him. He Is stand

The one piece of legislation which ap-
pears to have been agreed upon as a
result OF handling the long ballot"
at the recent election is the amend
