NEW EVIDENCE
AGAINST THE
STEEL TRUST
Has Bean Receiving lIIega|lRe
bats 10 Extent OF Millions
Of Dollar IssI|'g'd
lBy ClYde II. Tavennerl

Washington. d. c.. Dec. THE
Stanley investigating committee OF
the house of representatives Is in pos
session of evidence, which has not
yet been made public, that is sufilc-
cient to convict the steel trust of OBJ
tanning illegal rebates from the rail-
roads to the extent of millions of dol
lars. This information comes to the
writer direct from authoritative
sources
Rebatins is crime punishable by
La penitentiary sentence.
This evidence has not become pub
| lie for the reason that the Stanley
committee has not had time to reach,
in public hearings, this feature of the
steel trusts wrong doing. But the
evidence has been in the hands of the
investigators employed by the Stan
ley committee for some time, In
some way the steel trust heads learn
ed That this evidence had been I'M
covered by the investigating commit
tees agents, and ever since their ais
covery of this fact. they have been
frantically trying to bring the steel
probe to a halt
Railroads owned by Trust
All the railroads which carry steel
trust materials and products from
the plants to connecting roads are
owned by the trust. Not an independ
ent line has a spur running into any
of the trusts plants BY means OF
switching charges, and the exaction
from independent roads of an unfair
proportion of freight charges, on the
ground that the trust originates the
haul, the corporation evades the law
and obtains millions in rebates.
This is the evidence that the steel
trust has set out to suppress Its
first move in this direction was made
by Attorney Lindebury who has rep
resented the trust at all the bear
ings. He suggested, at the FIRST
mceting Of the Stanley committee al
ter the recess, that nasmuch as the
had filed an equity suit
against the steel corporation the
Stanley committee lacked further jur-
He sought to prove tnis by
citing that the house resolution UNI
der which the Stanley body was Gre
ated provided that the committee
should inquire into offenses mot

Chairman Stanley refused TO accede
to this demand Of the steel trust at
and will carry the question
to the floor OF the house unless he is
sustained in his position when a vote
is taken by the full membership OF
the investigating committee.

DEATH OF MRS. cHAs. LYNCH

Death visited our community last
Sunday morning when Mrs. Chas.
Lynch was called after a long and
lingering illness. On Tuesday morn
ing the remains were taken to the
Catholic church where Monsignor
Sheehan, Of Elkton, Father Flynn, of
Estelline and Father Shean, Of Brook
inSs assisted at requiem high mass for
the repose Of her soul after which the
train was taken for Elkton where the
deceased was buried.
Julia Agnes Puhr was born near
Dubuque Ia, Jan 5, 1866. She came
to Brookings county with her parents
April A, 1879 and thus was one of
those sturdy pioneers who helped en-
dure the hardships of making q home
in a new and ~undeveloped country.
In the early sos, she braved the
wintry blasts, when teaching school
and has twelve successful terms to
her credit. On January II, 1892, Julia
Puhr was married to Chas. Lynch.
From this union six children were born
Arthur, Dora, Charles, Rose, Julia and
Magdaline. These excepting Charles
who died January %, 1903, together
mourn her loss. The departed also
leaves three brothers, Albert Puhr.
Frank Puhr, and Joseph Puhr and
three sisters, Mrs. Arthur Lynch and
Mrs. John Hiser and Mrs. Chas. Davis.
Mrs. Lynch always had a CHEEKY
and sunny disposition. She was aver
ready to lend her kind assistance to
to those in need and took comfort In
performing charitable deeds.
The family moved to Brookings in
the autumn of 1908 and she immed-
lately won a wide friendship. In
church circles she was a faithful and
conscientious worker, never COM
planning and willing to do the task
set before her. Througho t her life
she was a devout Catholic in which
faith she died. During her long illness
she bore her troubles with the noblest
courage and fortitude. She was re-
signed to met her Saviour and when
He called she was prepared. We ex-
tend u most heartfelt sympathy to
the bereaved husband and children in
their sad Lour.

mated.
Mayor Leighty was called for and
he made a short speech, in which he
promised if elected to give the city a
clean, business administration. From
the applause which greeted his re-
marks it was evident that the crowd
believed, from past performances, that
the mayor was fully capable of carry
ing out this program. The other al

and Carl Trystad made the hit of the
evening by expressing a wish to meet
all his friends in police court. r. F.

two years.
G.. A. Mathews was called upon and
made a splendid talk Upon the city
hall proposition. He showed that the
city Is we'll able financially to build
a city hall and showed the dire need
OF such a building. Up to this time
the tellers had not had q thing to do,
so Prof. Kerr suggested that a straw
vote be taken on the bond question. It
resulted in a vote of SO for and only
five against a new city hall. The
crowd was a representative M and
the result is a fair indication Of the
sentiment of the people.
The ward caucuses were held in the
different wards on Monday evening
and passed off quietly in the First

The men nominated are all good citi-
zens and business men and We believe
that each ward was fortunate in it's Sc
lection.
In the First ward Prof. H. H. Hoy
was nominated for alderman without
opposition, to succeed 8. A. McElmur-

city hall bonds and it resulted in a
vote Of 25 for and 8 against. H. B.

In the Second ward the name of F.

C0MMERC|ALCL CLUB
FOR BRO0K|NGS
TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION OF
BOOSTER CLUB is AFFECTED
LAST EVENING
OVER ONE HUNDRED MEMBERS ENROLL
New Organization Has For Its Aim
to Boost For %Brookings Every
Day In the Week.

The business and professional men
of Brookings met at the G.. A. r. hall
last evening and affected the temper
airy organization for a COMMERCIAL
club. Some weeks ago at a mass
meeting of the citizens held at the
same place, Geo. p. S~exauer, who was
chairman, appointed a committee of
three to look up the proposition Of
a commercial club.
The Committee after formulating
its plans, met with success beyond it's
expectations and with the result that
a meeting was again called for the pre-.
liminaries of an organization embody-
ing the ideas formulated by the com
mittee and embracing both the bust
ness and the social feature.
The meeting last evening was large
ly attended and the enthusiasm dis
playd augurs well for the success OF
the enterprise. Mr.. Sexauer called
the meeting to order and Mr.. Culhane
presented the report of the commit
tee. Paul butcher was elected tem-
porary secretary, and after some dis
cussion a temporary board OF direc-
tors was elected to take the matter
in charge and secure the incorporation
Of the Brookings Commercial Club.
The selection of directors resulted as
follows: M. e. Culhane, w. H. Roddle,
A. A. Harris, X. l.. Slagle, G.. p. Sex
auer, II. l.. Hopkins, w. NJ. Cheever,
e. c. Miller, e. G. Olson, Paul butcher
and r f. Kerr.
Before a%djourning the meeting per-
formed its first good act by formulating
and passing a resolution favoring the
bonds for a new city hall. To boost
for Brookings will be the principal
aim and object of this organization
and the Register is much pleased at
the spirit in which our business men
are going at it. 1t is a splendid
start in the right direction.

struction Of one o. our public build
ings. The state OF South Dakota has
expended over a half million dollars for
buildings here and within the next
year will spend 500, 900 more. At
the present time Brookings county is
building a 100000 court house in this
city, and within a year the federal
government will commence the erec-
ton Of a $4,000 postofice building.
Now isn't it about time for the people
of Brookings to do something for
themselves?
We hardly think there is a man
in Brookings who questions the need
of a new city hall. The present old
shack was built over twenty-five years
ago at a cost Of about $4,000 and has
been practically useless for the last
five years. The fire apparatus is
stored there because there is no other
place to keep it, but it is constantly
exposed to he danger of being des-
troyed by fire or Of the walls of the
building falling in and demolishing 1t.
The fire boys have always done valiant
service, without one cent of pay, and
their value to the city has especially
been brought home to us in the last
month, and it would seem to be only
justice to provide them with decent
quarters. The city council and audi
tor We're obliged to vacate the old hall
some years ago, since which time they
have been quartered in the telephone
building. However, this o is need
ed for the extension of the switch
boards and unless the city hall is built
it will be up to the council to rent
rooms for the city offices.
We believe from conversations with
citizens and tie result of the straw
votes taken that a big majority Of the
taxpayers are in favor of a new city
hall, but it is not enough to be in favor
of the proposition-every man should
get out and vote and work for it..
The law requires that, even if the
decision of the voters Is favorable,
there must be two-thirds rs many votes
cast on the proposition as We're cast
in the preceding municipal election.
There was a m~ayoralty fight two years
ago and a big vote was cast, so it be-
hooves every loyal citizen of Brook
ings to not only vote himself but to get
out all his friends, for the chief dan
ger to the bonds is the apathy Of the
voters. Let us all pull together on
this proposition and build a city hall
in keeping with our other public
buildings, n that will be a source
of civic pride, as we'll as All a long
felt want.
