ELECTS PEOPLES TICKET
Lawabiding Citizens Defeat Saloon
Element In Township
Election.

Stamford, S. D., March 9.-That
Stamford is taking steps toward a
cleaning up, was very much in evil
ience when the Peoples ticket, rep
resenting the law-abiding citizens of
this township, was elected by ma
Iorty Of better than two to one, ov
sr the saloon element, headed by j
e. Gray, at the general township
election.
Jimmie Gray and seven of his
followers congregated at the school
house between 5 and o'clock this
morning, and organized what they
supposed was the election board, but
they had forgotten to reckon with
their host, for at 9:05 a. M, r. G.,
Schneider stepped to the front OF
the school room and asked Township
Clerk Solberg if he was going to call
the meeting to order, for the pur-
pose of electing the judges and clerks
according to- law, to which he in
strncted the moderator, J. c. John
son, who had been elected at their
five o'clock meeting, to proclaim the
polls open. A number of persons
belonging to the peoples party, arose
saying: mo you don't; this election
will be run according to law!"
Whereupon the following judges and
clerks were elected and put in
charge: E. w. Misel, ]. H. Fox, Ed
ward Mccarthy and J. G. Johnson,
judges, and A. R. Smiley, clerk.
Johnson was chosen moderator and
Mccarthy clerk.
Jimmie" the important leader,
| wishing to continue in his unlawful
, way of doing business, tried to vote
before the newly elected board could
be sworn, but was stopped. Jim got
so illustrated that he left the school
I house, and we understand that he
absolutely refuses to have anything
TO do with the "Mongerals," as he
terms the lawabiding citizens.

Washington, ID. c., March 15.-Such
phases of the so-called Pacific Coast

by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in its decision of last summer will

EVERY RAILROAD
OBEYS DECISION
Each Road Reports to Board,
Restoration of the Old
Freight Rates.
(American News Service)

Washington. March 15.-All the raik
roads in the official classification ter
ritory which were prevented from in
creasing their freight rates. have COM
piled with the interstate commerce
commission decision that no advance
would be permitted.
From examination today of the 15,-
600 rate cancellations filed with the
commission, it was found that every
railroad has restored the old rates.
The office force with the commission
worked until late last night making
comparisons of rate schedules. for it
was announced by the commission
should any railroad refuse to comply
with the ruling the increases on that
road would be suspended for two
years.
1t is now among railroad experts
here that the roads will either seek to
raise their capitalization. or increase
their freight rates individually. so as
TO attain the end desired. which was
denied by the commissions ruling.

APPLICANTS MUST
SHOW DOCUMENTS
AS to Whether the Building
Used for Saloon Is
Owned or Leased.

Following the example set by the
commissioners of Marion county, the
board of Wayne county commissioners
probably will demand of applicants for
liquor licenses hereafter that they
produce documents to the board TO
show whether they hold lease to
the room which they occupy or own
the building in which their place of
business is located.
This will be done for the purpose OF
ascertaining whether or not the ap.
plicant for license only represents
himself, or whether the owner of the
building has an indirect interest in
the business, by reason of being able
TO demand higher rent for his bust,
ness room. because of its occupancy
by saloon. Many of the saloonists
of the city own the buildings in
which their business is located while
others prossess long term leases.
This custom has not been followed
in Wayne county. but since the law
permits it. its good features were
quickly recognized by the commission
ers. At the<hIarch session when four
licenses We're issued. the commission
ers were not made familiar with this
section. and accordingly did not de-
mand to see either title to the prop
erty or lease to the room, occupied by
the applicants saloons.

Activity Shown in Securing
Information on Mexico
Leads Troops to Expect In

(American News Service,

Washington. March 15.--The whole
United States standing army may be
modified on the Mexican frontier.
This report became current today up.
on the receipt of news from the
Southern Republic that the revolution
had spread to many sections hither-

Pres. Taft'a Program.
The war department is receiving
confidential messages relative TO in
ternal affairs in Mexico. The worst
fears are entertained for the city OF
Chihuahua. where 2,40O federal troops
are practically beleaguered by insur-
rectos. The rebel force is encamped
about the city and numbers nearly s.
600 men. Two Americans seized near
the border, Converse and Blatt. are
still being held by Mexican federals
pending diplomatic negotiations which
are now going forward 1t is report
ed, but unofficially. that Mexico has
made a strong protest against the
stand taken by the United States gov
ernment in the arrest and detention OF
two Americans.
The administrations position in re-
gard to the Mexican situation was
clearly outlined here today From
persons in President Tafts confidence
the program of government has been
revealed, and 1t is almost the sole
topic of conversation in government
and diplomatic circles.
American and other outside inter-
ests are still in jeopardy in Mexico.
The president means to protect these
interests. He will do it first from tho
American side Of the line. He will
cut off all reyolutionists' resources and
in doing that will give Diaz one more
opportunity to handle the situation.
If the Mexican government fails, the
necessity for an invasion will have
arisen. This is exactly what the pres
ident set out to do when he gave the
order for the mobilization of 10000
troops. The maneuver idea was in
cidental then, just as it is incidental
now. The object of the assembling of
troops is TO maintain neutrality and il
that is not effective in stopping the
revolution, then American troops will
cross the border. This authoritative
information comes from circles close
to President Taft

COUNTY HAS FILL
OF TAX FERRETS
And 1t Is Improbable that H
L. Glenn Will Receive
Contract Here.

While no proposition has been made
to the county commissioners by any
tax ferret seeking contract to dis.
cover sequestered property held by
residents of the county, the members
of the board are at this time not much
inclined to favor giving a contract,
according to Chairman Beeson of the
board.
The county almost had it's fill of tax
ferrets when it contracted with w. f.
Lowe to discover sequestered prop
erty and place it upon the tax dupli-
Gates. The demand that the contract
with Lowe be revoked became so in.
sistent from all parts of the county.
that the commissioners did so several
days before it would have expired
Lowe has since transferred his unfin-
ished business under his old contract
10 H. l.. Glenn of indianapolis. who,
it is understood. would like to get a
contract from the county. Mr. Glenn's
recommendations include one from
Senator John W. Kern.
Chairman Beeson of the board OF
commissioners stated Wednesday he
believed the county was getting all
of its tax in, although tax ferrets
claim not, and as the county finances
are in the best shape since the cour.
house was built. the commissioner
does not believe there is any necessity
for contracting with ferret, Just at
this time. Tax ferrets work on the
basis OF 80 per cent commission on all
paid in tax on sequestered property
which they discover. the remaining "a
per cent being distributed among the
different funds.
