SHIP PERS MAKE
FLIMSY PACKING
Railroad Official Says Mater
ial is Inadequate to Pro-
teCt Contents

A Pennsylvania railroad traffic Of
fetal has estimated that in So per
cent. Of the small-lot shipments NOV
ing today the construction of the ma
terial forming the box or crate. is
entirely inadequate to protect the con-
tents.
Flimsy. insufficient packing of
goods for shipment costs American
manufacturers many thousands of
dollars every year it is said. The in
PRODUCTION of cheap substitutes for sub
stantial wooden cases is responsible
for much Of the trouble, although
modern conditions of transportation
and freight handling make it more
necessary than ever befor that goods
in transit should be thoroughly pro-
tected. American consuls abroad
have protested for years that bad
packing lost a vast amount Of trade
to our exporters. Now the cause has
become a serious matter In respect

! tion is given all the time to making
packages attractive in appearance,
but less care is taken to make them
safe.
Fruit is shipped in paper-thin
crates that are sometimes literally
churned into pulp in transit. Tobacco
is sent by rail in cases so iimsy that
they can be perforated with a lead
pencil. A shipment Of tobacco in
small bags arrived recently at Phila-
delphia with one-thir1 of the cases so
badly damaged that contents could be
easily removed through the breaks.
Heavy hardware is seldom packed
carefully enough to KEEP 1t from
breaking through its casing. Very
often no thought is taken of the dam
age that may be done to freight when
packed in cars with heavy, rough, OF
pointed articles.
Il is possible for the carriers %
prevent damage under such circum-
stances. The greatest care may be
used in slowing goods in car at the
beginning of a haul, but S consign-
ments for different stations are taken
out, disarrangements follows that
may be dangerous to the remaining
freight, but a restowaee at each stop
Of the train is impossible.
All authorities agree that the way
to save the large sums now lost
through insufficient packing is to pc
back to substantial wooden cases. Nc
safe substitute has been found foI
them, although the first cost Of the
flimsy materials may be less.

of the simplest possible. II can be
made either with a high, round, or

sirable for the washable ones as 1t is

cellent school frocks for the early

TURNER COUNTY SHERIFF
OUTWlTS TWO CRIMINALS

Parker. S. d., Feb. 15.-By a shrewd
scheme Sheriff Bailey and City Marshal
Wendt, OF this place, frustrated an
attempt to release a prisoner in the
county Jail. A friend of the prisoner
voluntarily applied for lodging in the
Jail over night. putting up a pretty
smooth story as to his financially M
b%arrassed condition and having nc
place to lay his weary bones. The Of
ficers permitted him to enter the Jail
OH the understanding that he could
remain there until morning. The Of
ficers were suspicious Of the stranger,
however, and thai night. after the
stranger had been admitted, Sheriff
Bailey put "a couple more men in Jail,
apparently as prisoners. but really as
spies. The two '~'prisoners'' in due time
pretended to fall asleep and when they
had commenced snoring the stranger
moved cautiously over to the first
prisoner, a man named Austin, who is
charged with the burglary of a store
at Monroe last fall, and engaged him
In conversation in a subdued tone.
Enough was heard by the two spies,
however, to prove that the stranger
and Austin were pals, and that the
stranger had been implicated with Aus
tin in the robbery at Monroe. Ac.
cordingly Sheriff Bailey now has
lodged a charge against him and he
will remain in Jail and be tried with
Austin at a term Of state circuit court
which convened in Parker today.

WANDERERF REEzEST0
death in A CEMETERY
Body Is Found Covered With
Snow In Ravine Where He
Persisted.

Sioux Falls, s.. D., Feb. 15.-The
body of Henry DeJong, aged about As.
was found partially covered by snow
IN a ravine in Mt. Pleasant cemetery,
situated in the eastern suburbs Of
Sioux Falls. DeJong was a farm hand,
who several years ago came to this
country from Europe. His body was
found by William Stitch, sexton OF the
cemetery, who, while working about
the grounds. had his attention at
tracted by the object in the snow.
DeJong was lightly clad for this season
of the year, being without overcoat or
overshoes. He was a heavy drinker
and is supposed to have wandered to
the ravine while intoxicated. lying
to rest and freezing to death. He
was last seen alive a week ago last
Saturday, 80 his body must have been
ut the point where found for more
than c week. So far as known he had
no relatives in this country. It is
thought he was a member OF a fra.
ternal insurance organization.

FOR EXTRA SESSION
sedistricting Measure Vii
Have to Take It's Chance
in Regular Order.

Pierre. 8. d. Feb. 16.-All talk about
TN extra session Immediately after the
present one. to consider legislative mt
congressional ap-portion-nent, provided
no action is reached by the preseni
session, was put to rest by Governor
Nesscy yesterday. The executive avs
he docs not favor any such idea.
If the senate accepts the house bill
creating the new Eleventh and Twelfth
judicial rcuits Governor Nessey Will
have plenty Of material to pick from in
making choice for judges OF the circuit
Up TO the present the parties who want
circui, are Roscoe Model. of Winner:
Charles H. Davis. of Gregory; William
Mcdonnell. of Gregory: j. l.. Hannett,
Of Winner, and c. S. Williamson, of
Reliance.
Thos who would not object to fill
Ing the position in the Twelfth circuit
are Logan Berry, of Lemmon; Edward
Colman, of Lennon; Percy Helm, of
Bison. and w. Henderson. of Dupree.
OF course. there is yet time for others
to make their desires known before the
circuit are created. il they are created,
II the probabilities are that a few
more applications are likely to come
along before action is taken.
a few amendments will be offered to
the state banking law, with the recon-
~slendation of the state banking depart
'uent. dealing mostly With the provi-
-ions for procedure in case of liquida-
..on of banks. The law at present is
excellent. but lacks in detail. n it is
the purpose of the public examiner, not
to increase the powers of the depart
ment in such cases. but incorporate in
the law specific instructions. The bill
will call for the repeal of the old law.
and the enactment of a new one, am
bodying in n section all of the state
laws in regard to this matter. The de-
partment of the examiner is extremely
over worked. and it is desired to in
crease the force of his office, in order
to handle the work aid out more effect
ually, increasing the receipts of the
office so as to allow a larger appro-
priation. by taxing for examination on
the basis of the assets of the banks
examined rather than on the capital
stock. In this the state banking aSsO-
citation concurs.
The headlight bill on the calendar
for this afternoon was not reached b?
the house in due order Of business. The
Indications are that the legislature will
uphold the voice of the people at the
last election, in turning down this in
nOvation.
The senate after a short discussion,
meeting as a committee of h whole
with Senator Mcpherson presiding.
adopted the report of the Hot Springs
investigating committee.
Bartine's rate bill passed the senate
yesterday afternoon after some discus.
sion. The good effect of the bill is
doubtful and it is opposed by the rail-
way commission. The plan for estab.
fishing rates it is to compile an aver.
age schedule from short haul and long
haul rates between two points by sim.
ply adding the rates per mile for eacf
line together and dividing by two. The
plan seems illogical and it is doubtful
whether it will increase or decrease
rates. The house is evenly divided or
the measure.

Veterans Object.
The old soldiers are up in arms over
senate bill 1856, which was introduced
by the investigating committee which
conditions at that institution. The bill
provides for a board of control on
which there need be no old soldiers,
and for a superintendent who need not
be a veteran. They do not like this:
but their main protest is regarding a
provision of the bill which prohibits
the employment of any of the members
Of h home in or about the place. This
provision was placed in on account Of
the fact that the committee found that
the employment of some of the old sol.
diers was a constant source Of friction
and jealousy on h part Of those who
did not secure these small jobs. They
thought that If this cause of friction
was cut out there might be a better
chance of keeping things running
smoothly at the home. But this pro-
vision, the old soldiers claim. is cutting
off from their numbers the opportunity
to earn a little money for themselves
or their families, and they will have
none of it without a fight.
The senate has put itself in opposi.
ton to the farmers of the house by
killing on committee report a house
bill to appropriate $500 for continue
Ing the farmers institute work for the
