self to the audience and began at once
the remarks he had planned for his
Athens hearers. He began exactly at
O'Clock and spoke exactly forty
five minutes. The crowd was rather
more favorable than opposed to the
speaker-but throughout the address
there were no violent demonstrations,
the crowd for the size being remark
ably temperate in it's expressions

sions and the senatorial question, as
fOrcasted in the Banner, and also

''The Crisis Approaching"

political affairs and predicted that the

surely be on top unless there is a
change in the political weather symp-
toms. He declared that he is not a
candidate for any office, state or
national, and that he will never be-
come candidate again.

DAMAGES DEMANDED FROM
SPOKANE SALOON MAN

Spokane, Wash, March 9.-Fifty
four thousand dollars damages are
asked by Mrs. Milla Emslie, in an
action filed in the Spokane county
superior court on behalf of herself
and eight minor children against
jimmy Durkin, a saloonkeeper and
the b. Schade Brewing Company,
both OF Spokane, who, it is alleged,
are responsible for the death of her
husband. The complaint declares
the defendants sold and supplied in
toxicating liquors to William Elmslie
with the knowledge that it was to
be drank under circumstances suf-
flcient to lead them to believe such
beer, and whiskey, would result in
.ntoxication. Elmslie, a working
man, fell from the third story of a To-
cal beef packing plant under con-
struction on November 4, 1910. and
sustained broken back and other
injuries, which resulted in his death
soon atterward. Durllin, who is a
JOINT defendant, figured in the news
several years ago, when he permitted
baptlst preacher to decorate the
front window of his saloon with wax
figures and text matter showing the
eVll effect OF the liquor traffic.

NOISY SCENE IN JAIL

Sioux City, March 9.-While wal
lowing around the floor of the union
depot In a drunken condition., two
Winnebago Indian women and man
together with their three small chill
dren, were taken to the police sta
ton by Patrolman Shoemaker, and
all but the man were locked in the
woman's ward. Instead of becoming
more sober as time passed by, the
women became more drunk, and the
bowls, mingled with the cries of the
children, could be heard on the
street. Officer Walker and Matron
Anna Roberts, finally entered the
ward and instituted a search, and a
full bottle OF whiskey was found on
one of the women, and an empty one
on the other.
During the searching the Indian
children, boy about six and a girl
about seven. became so frightened
that it was feared that they would
have Mysteries. They screamed at
the top OF their voices in the shrill,
piercing cry peculiar to indian chill
dren.
After the whisley was taken from
them the women were mad, and in
their language cursed everybody
within sight. One of the women in
sisted on hugging and trying to kiss
a white woman prisoner who was
confined in the ward, and who beg
ged ptiously Of the officers to be TAX
en- out. Officer Walker was obliged
to stand guard at the door of the
ward to prevent the woman doing vi
olence to the children and to the
frail white woman.
The Indian women were booked
under the names Of Jennie SNOWFALL
and Mrs. Joe White. The man was
put in the bull pen and soon went to
sleep.

HOTEL REGULATIONS IN
THE YELLOWSTONE.
Secretary OF the Interior ;Sallinger
Defines Rules for Tourists
Care.

w dSulllS u. VI, NholSh -
Senior Warren recently received a
copy of Senate Joint Memorial No. 3,
Of the Eleventh Legislature of the
State OF Wyoming, requesting that
the hotels in the Yellowstone Ma
tional park be opened to the general
travelling public outside of persons
patronizing the park transportation
lines, and that the use of automo-
bile be permitted i'll the park.
The senator transmitted the mem
orial to the secretary OF the interior
who has replied as follows:
In response thereto, have to
state that all persons coming into the
Yellowstone National Park on foot,
on horseback, on bicycles, or in their
own rigs or conyeyances, are enti-
tied to accommodation at the hotels
in the reservation. Persons coming
into the park with parties daily IL
censed by the department to take
camping parties through the reserva-
ton or with the Wyie Permanent
Camping Company, are not entitled
in the hotels, unless by reason OF
sickness or through dissatisfaction
with the service rendered by the
parties with whom they came into
the park. they leave them. This
rule is necessary in order to pre-
vent CONGESTION at the hotels, and
cannot be departed from.
The companies transporting pass.
engers through the park from the
northern and western entrances OF
the reservation respectively, under
contracts covering period Of years
always advise the hotel authorities
of the number Of people they propose
to bring in each day, in order tina,
proper accommodations may be pro.
vided, and sufficient rooms be re
served for the classes of persons en-.
titled to accommodations at the ho
tells.
The transportation service to the
reservation is now conducted by var
ious corporations under contracts
with the department which will moi
expire for some years to come. These
contracts contemplate the employ

handling and caring for persons ove1
the roads in the reservation. 1t viii
therefore, not be practicable to re
quire them without financial loss tt
employ different means than wag
ons and horses.
1t has been the uniform policy o
the department to decline to permi
automobiles in this reservation OW
ing to the fact that to allow then
to be used on the roads there:r
would be dangerous to persons pass
ing over the roads on horseback, O.
in vehicles drawn by horses. To max,
the roads in the park safe for auto
mobiles, would require a consider
able expenditure OF money, and i
these means were provided the de
partment would have no hesitancy il
entertaining applications for the us,
or automobiles in the transportation
lof persons through the park. TIL,
contracts entered into by the depart
ment with the hotel companies ant
the transportation companies ex
pressly provide that there will be n,
1avoritism and that no preference
shall be given to any passengers
over others, except that based OF
priority of payment.
