Hear Remarks by Governor
Vessey Telling How Much
Can be Saved by Ignite.

Pierre, S. DAT it's closing session
yesterday afternoon, the South Da-
kota Press association, in its annual
meeting. adopted resolutions indors-
ing Governor Vessey's recommends

of a publicity bureau to advertise
South Dakota, and also for the call
ing of a constitutional convention to
thoroughly revise the state constitu-
ton.
These two sections of the resolu-
lions We're passed on separately by
the association, and each was adopt
ed unanimously, with discussion.
1t was suggested in the resolution

that not less than $4,000 be appro-
priated for it's salaries and incidental
expenses.

of the development Of the resources

kota, the governor stated that fully
/, 900, 600 tons of anthracite coal are
burned in the state every year. At
an average cost of $1,000 per ten,
this would make this amount of fuel
cost the state $10,000,000 every year.
The Ignite deposits of the state, he
declared, could be b%riquetted so that

'clared could be put on board cars fer

large water tanks are used for sup.
plying the institution water, two OF
which are termed settling tanks, To-
Gated near the ground, and the third
resting on a steel tower eighty feet
high, each capable of holding eight
hundred barrels of water.
The committee found that these
settling tanks have ben cleared OF
settling every few days ever since
the institution has ben established,
and that the tank on the stel tower
has ben cleaned every few weeks,
the cleaning being done by men en-
tering the tanks and thoroughly
slushing them out through an open

These facts are all familiar to the
eighty employees of the institution.
The committee found that there was
absolutely nothing to the starry, and
in order that justice may be done de-
sires that this fact ben made general

IN THE LAST DITCH
IN FIGHT FOR LIFE
STANDARD OIL COMBATING WITH
GOVERNMENT TO DEFEAT
DECISION OF LOWER
COURTS.

Washington, d. C.-Fighting for
the life of their client, Standard Oil
attorneys argued before the supreme
court OF the United States against the
proposed dissolution of the Standard
Oil company OF New Jersey, as a yio-
lation of the Sherman antitrust law.
For three hours John G. Milburn, of
New York, spoke. Tomorrow, Frank
b. kellogg, of Minnesota, will present
the governments side.
Miiburn's task was to present to the
court the facts" i'll the case, but he
did depart from the facts to show
what alleged wrongs the afirmance
of TIE dissolution decree of the low
er court would incur. In a history
of the chaotic conditions of the oil
business between 1850 and 1870, due
he said to the over-prcduction of the
refining capacity, Milburn introduce
ed the character of Rockefeller. He
said:
There was out there in Cleveland,
a young man in 1860 with a small
amount of money, which he had saw
ed, who possessed the gift of a gen
ius. He had a genius for business.
That man was John D. Rockefeller.
He saw this over-production of re-
fineries, was to be met by an increas-
ed volume of business, so as to with
stand lower profits"
Then he told how Rockefeller al
lied himself with Andrews, a practi.
cal oil refiner, and how, with the ex.
ercise of Mr.. Rockefeller's genius
they grew rapidly.
Milburn dwelt upon the period OF
acquisition, which he said, closed IL
1879, the trust agreement OF 1892
and the new arrangement of owner
ship in 1899. Acquisitions had never
been made with the intent to restrain
or to monopolize interstate trade
Most of the purchases yer made be.
fore 1879. He denied the charges OF
the government that the Standard Oh
company had advantages from rail.
roads during the period of acquisi-
ton and that it should be punished.
He made the statement that the de-
cree of the lower court, if sustained,
would be ruinous to much Of the
properties, because the companies
had no independent existence.

MYSTERY SURROUNDS DEATH or
DEADWOON MAN WOSE HoDY
is FOUND IN BOARDING
HOUSE. F.

Huron, S. D.-The dead body OF
| William Wood, of Deadwood. was
found laying in a pool of blood in his
room at his boarding place this at
%ternon. There is no clue as to how
the man came to his death. An In
vestigation is under way and the
only theory that is advanced is that
the juglar vein was cut by glass from
the window.
Roomers in the house state that
during the night they heard sounds
Of a struggle. but thing it was mere
ly a passing incident, gave it little at
tention.
The entire family with the excep-
ton OF the older daughter, are away
from the city at present. The girl
got up as usual in the morning and
hurried away for school. When she
returned home from school in the af-
ternoon she went to Mr.. Woods
rom to lok after the chamber work.
When she opened the QOOf tnlS gnaSl-
ly sight greeted her.
The police were at once notified,
and 1T is said that arrests may be
made tonight. A broken window in
the room advances the theory that
Woods fell against the glass, and cut
himself. His body is scratched in
several places, and the juglar vein
is entirely severed.
The town is excited over the death,
and many rumors are rife. Mr..
Woods. though coming from Dead
wood, conducts a bank at Lane, S. D.,
and has ben in the city for a short
time.
