HONOR F0R THE PILGRIMS
THEIR LANDING IN CAPE COD
 BAY coMMEMORATED.
President Taft and Other Distn Juished Men Unveil the Lofty Monument
 at Provincetown, Mass.

Provinoetown, Mass. Aug. 5.-Our early New England ancestors, who arrived in Cape Cod harbor several hundred years ago aboard the Pilgrim bark Mayfower, were fittingly hon. ored today when President Taft steame ed into the harbor on his yacht of the same name and participated in the exercises incident to the unveiling of the Pilgrim monument
 Fourteen battleships anchored in the bay for the purpose of engaging in target practice Each fired the presi- dental salute of 2l guns, while big following of cruisers, torpedo boats, etc, added to the din with their fog horns.
 Twice in the past little known and out of the way Provincetown has been honored by the presence of the na- tion's chief, President Grant visiting the town August 2S, 1874, and Presi. dent Roosevelt August 20, 1907, when he participated in the laying of the corner stone of the Pilgrim monu- ment.
 Many eminent men were invited to assist in the ceremony of today, and among those who participated were James Bryce, the ambassador from England Jonkheer J. Louden, minis ter from the Netherlands; Senator Lodge, Congressman Foss of Chi cago and former President Eliot of Harvard. Dr. Eliot delivered the ora ton and brief remarks were made by some of the other guests
 In addition to the monument a tab let was unveiled as the successor of one which was destroyed when the old town hall, which occupied the site on which the Pilgrim monument stands, was burned in 1877. The old tablet bore the following legend: Tn commemoration of the arrival of the Mayflower in Cape Cod harbor, and of the first landing of the Pilgrims in America at that place November II, 1920, this tablet is presented by the Cape Cod association November S. 1853" The new tablet measures 12 by 6 feet, and is of bronze.
 Provincetown has long gloried in the fact of her participation in the making of early Pilgrim history, and she now points with pride to the great shaft commemorating the ar rival of the Mayflower in this narnor.
 The shaft is imposing. It springs from the crest of a 90-foot earth mound and carries it's clean cut gran ite 254 feet into the air. It is a sight ly shaft. It's weight, exclusive of the base, is more than 100000 pounds. The concrete base weighs upwards of 3,000,o0O pounds. The approximate cost of the memorial was $90,0O0, of which sum the national government contributed s40,000, Massachusetts $25,o00, and individuals the remain der. With the exception of the Wash. ington monument, it is the loftiest shaft of solid construction in the United States

in state penal institutions for the crime
Of m~anslaughter, which was included
In the application Of the act Of 1899, are
serving sentence under a law that does
not exist.
That Defendants tried, convicted and
sentenced under the parole act of 1899,
now in prison, may be taken back to
their respective trial courts and rein

ident Milwaukee Avenue State bank;

NAMES CANNOT Be
WITHDRAWN FROM
LIQUOR PETITION
Ruling by Judge Affects Status
of License Question in
South Dakota.

Huron, s. D., Feb. ia case Of
more than passing interest and import
c was argued here today before
Judge Alva e. Taylor. of the Ninth
Judicial Circuit. 1t was the case Of ex
rel. B. c. Ketterling against the owl
clerk and supervisors. of La Prairie
township, Sphinx county, petition was
filed to submit the question shall in
toxicatinR liquors be sold at retail?"
The law requires that a petition Of rs
legal f~ree-holder voters asking for a
vote thereon. shall be filed with the
clerk 30 days before election. This was
done, but rs days before election, five
of the petitioners withdrew their names
and the town board refused to submit
the question to a vote. 80
At the conclusion of the argument,
the court held that the town board
could not refuse to submit the ques-
ton n declared that the signers could
not withdraw their names after IL was
too late to- get others to take their
places, as filing of the petition created
a moral obligation and the persons fl
ing h petition had the legal right to
insist on the signers' names remaining
on the petition, unless they were with
drawn before the 30 days began to run
Roy Bull, of Redield, appeared for the
petitioners and Judge w. F. C~orrigan
OF Melette, for the town board.
