SUSPECTED ROBBERS
GAIN THEIR FREEDOM

Siseston, s. D., Jan. 3.-The Deem
Der term Of circuit court for Roberts
county has been in session in this city
a fortnight, with Judge Frank McNulty
presiding. The most prominent Of the
criminal cases vas that against George
Kampeska, a full blooded Sioux Indian,
for the alleged murder of his wife. The
jury found that the squaw came to her
death through alcoholism, and Kam-
peska was freed. A sensational case
was that which involved the robbery OF
the State Bank of Peever on October
8, when two masked men held the viii
lage at bay while a third wrecked the
safes OF the bank, and all three made
their escape on a handcar. The de-
PENDANTS, who ave their names as Ed
Burns, Jesse Jones and Ed Wilson,
were taken into custody the next day
at Ortley, on the main line west of Mil
bank However, the evidence against
them was not sufficient and they were

FARMERS TAKE HAND
IN TRAIN SERVICE

Yankton, S. d., Jan. $50 acute
has the situation become along the
Platte extension of the Milwaukee west
from this city that farmers have start
ed a movement whose object is the
immediate construction of an electric
line to Yankton. Stock is being liber-
ally taken up in the new project and
the plan looks now like a sure 20. The
project of course grew out Of the Mil
waukee's seeming inability to cope
with the situation and move trains so
that merchants can get much needed
merchandise and the farmers, many of
whom are wealthy, get their stock and
produce to a market.

NAVAL REORGANIZATION.
House Committee Adopts Some Of Secre-
tary Meyers RecOmm eudaGIOns.

tAEy Meyers Recommendation.
WASHINGTON, Jan. s.-Secretary Of the
Navy Meyer spent several hours to-day
explaining to the members Of the House
Naval Committee his plan for the reor-
ganization Of navy yard administra-
ton. The committee has practically
decided TO adopt his recommendation that
construction work at navy yards relating
to buildings and operating plants shall
be placed under the supervision OF the
bureau of yards and docks. The NOM
bers of the committee believe this work
should be in charge of the civil engineers
Of the navy. The committee has also
decided TO abolish the bureau Of equip
msnt and distribute its ldncticns among
the other bureaus.
There are a number OF other phases
Of Mr.. Meyers reorganization plan.
however. on which members Of the com-
mittee had not reached conclusion.
One Of these 10 the disposition OF the
control over machinery, which Secretary
Meyer believes should be placed under
the bureau of steam engineering. Tru-
man II. Newberry. former Secretary Of
proposed that all machinery should he
under control Of the bureau of construc-
ton and repair. Secretary Meyer, how
ever, believes it more advisable to limit
the duties Of that bureau to the design.
manufacture and repair of the hulls Of the
naval vessels.
Mr. Meyer will probably appear before
the committees on several future occa-
sions. Chairman Foes said that the
naval appropriation bill will not be COM
pleted before the end of February.

KNOWS NOTE TO THE POWERS.
No Response as Yet TO HIs Plan to NeutraI-
llxe the Manchurian Railways.


WASHINGTON. Jan. s.-Secretary OF
State Knox does not expect immediate
replies to his circular note to the Powers
suggesting the naturalization Of the Man
churian railways by their sale 10 China,
the funds for the transaction to be fur
nished by an international syndicate Of
bankers. The proposition is Of such
great Importance IL was said. that the
foreign offioes Of the various Powers will
desire to study the problem for several
months before making formal replies.
It is known. however. that Germany.
Great Britain and China are disposed
favorably toward the general features
Of the proposition. The attitudes OF
Japan and Russia are OF greater impor-
tance, however. to the contamination Of
the plan, because Of the fact that these
two governments own the principal rail-
roads in Manohuria. The Russian Gov
ernment owns the Chinese Eastern Rail
way, as that part OF the trans-Siberian
railway operating in China Is called, and
the Japanese Government owns the
south Manchurian and the Antung-Muk-
den railroad.
The United States and Great. Britain
are also greatly interested in the railroad
problem in Manchuria British and Amer
ican bankers have obtained a concession
from the Chinese Government for tn Q
construction OF a railroad from Chinchow
to Tsitsihar, where the proposed road will
connect with the Chinese Eastern. There
is also provision for later extension from
Tsitsihar to Aigun. The importance Of
the proposed road. which will be built
by American and British capital, Is that
il will connect with the Chinese Eastern
Railroad at Tsitsihar and probably divert
traffic from Europe over the trans
Siberia from the South Manchurian
Railroad, q Japanese road
Secretary Knox's note, however will
have the effect Of inducing the Powers
to declare their attitude toward the rail-
road situation in Manchuria and Incl
dentally toward the open door policy.
The adverse comment in Japan on Secre-
tary Knox's proposal is not regarded at
the State Department as evidence that
Japan will reject the plan. The circular
note was forwarded to the Powers only a
few weeks ago. and a sufficient period OF
time has not elapsed for morethan'a super
hcial study Of the plan. Whether or not
the naturalization scheme Is contaminated
Secretary Knox has by making the sug-
gestion forced the Powers Interested in
the question into positions where they will
be forced to declare their real intentions
toward the future OF Manchuria.
