Senate Subcommittee Which Has
Been Probing Affairs In Republic
Has Practically Concluded Its La
bors and Report Is Ready.

Washington, Sept. 30.-That the
United States will land marines and
bluejackets at Vera Cruz, Mex, with
in the next few days unless revolution
airy disturbances in that section cease
was stated by several state depart
ment officials on Friday, who admitted
they were worried at the conditions in
eastern and central Mexico.
The Madero government, having
successfully quelled the revolt in the
northern part of the republic, has ap-
parently driven all the Zapatistas and
Il few Of Orozco's followers into the
neighborhood Of Vera Cruz. and con-
ditions there are reported as being
very bad.
The opportune arrival of the Amer
lean gunboat Des Moines at Vera Cruz
came as a welcome relief to the state
department officials, who feared for
the safety of Americans and their
property there. The Des Moines car
ried 60 marines and a landing force OF
It's sailors, all of whom could be put
ashore on short notice to guard the
consulate and protect other American
property in the vicinity.
Reports from the extreme southern
and northern sections OF the republic
indicate that the federals are gaining
control of the situation in these re-
gions. Zapata remained u~ncaptured,
but his men have moved to the noun
tains of Vera Cruz.
Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. 30.-The
senate subcommittee which has been
investigating the affairs of Mexico for
the past two years, the period taking
in the Madero and Orozco rebellions,
practically concluded its labors at the
Hotel Alexandria on Friday and will
in the future submit it's report and
recommendations to the senate COM
mittee on foreign relations. The re-
port will De a voluminous document
and will set forth these three impor-
tant features:
That the evidence produced before
the investigators points to the neces-
sity for the United States to inter
vene in Mexico in order that Ameri-
cans and American interests be pro-
tected.
That the evidence prove conclus-
lively that no American none was
used in financing the Orozco rebel
lion.
That the evidence tends to estab-
lish the claim that American funds
we're used to finance the Madero rev.
olution, and the report will point the
finger OF suspicion at two large cor
porations. Positive proof of the lat
ter. however. may not be forthcom-
ing. :

REPORTS OF BIG YIELDS CON-
T,NUE TO COME FROM vARi-
Gus PARTS OF STATE.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capitol City. the Various
State Institutions and From
Many Different Parts OF
the Sunshine State.

Aberdeen.-So great has been the
grain crop in the vicinity OF Neblen
this year that the elevator buildings
proper are not sufficient to house all
the grain the farmers are hauling to
town. Accordingly, every vacant build
ing in the town has been utilized for
grain storage purposes.
In K%ingsbury county there are vast
quantities of grain in the shock still
remaining unthreshed, thousands OF
acres of grain between DeSmet and
the north boundary of the county still
awaiting the threshing machine the
first of last week, and the rainy wealth
er of the past week prevented much
of it being threshed. Farmers account
for the delay in threshing by two rea-
sons. One is the unusually heavy
crop, and the other is frequent show
ers which have interrupted operations
seriously. Owing to the delay in
threshing, there will be much less fall
blowing than usual. Farmers in that
part of the state. also. will be hurried
to get their Orr crop picked before
winter sets in, and it is claimed a con.

H. J.. Heinecke of Roberts county
had 14O acres in blue stem and velvet
chaff which ran 26 bushels to the
acre, and he had a 21-acre field of
oats which went 50 bushels to the

so far as heard for oats. A 50-acre

Big Year for erookinss.

Bookings With 100 more stu
dents on the fourth day of registration
than the same day last year, II new
students arriving daily, 1t appears that
the South Dakota State cohege will
have the greatest year in its history
so far as student attendance is con-
cerned. The freshman class Is 60 per
cent larger than it has yer been be
fore. One notable feature s the fact
that some of the largest high schools
in the state are represented this year.,
including Sioux Falls. WATERFOWL, Alb
erdeen, Huron and Parker.

Indemnity Lands.

Pierre.-Deputy N. M. Haason, Of
the state land department, has just
returned to the office from a trip Of
over 1900 miles by auto over the
western half of the state, Al which
he touched at points in every county
west of the Missouri river. He was
looking after matters in relation to
that department covering Fease tres
pass, selection of indemnity lands, and
a general review of the business of
the department. in that section which
required attention. He found that
there would be no opportunity for the
state to secure indemnity lands on the
Pine Ridge reservation fer state
school lands, as all the lands in that
reservation will be required to fill
allotments, and then there will be a
shortage.
He found it hard to find any agricul-
ture land at any place to fFn the in
IDENTITIES the state is entitled to for
sections 16 and Sc taken by Indians.
The trip was through rain and storm
for a part of the time, but they came
through with but two times in which
they were required to can upon teams
to pull them out of bad places.

enues of the Black Hills national for
ests, or ~$4,226.02, had been set aside
by the %natioanl government for h i'm

letter announcing this fund was sen
to the governor, who turned it over to
the state engineer. who. following the
request from Washington. recommends
that it be expended in improving the

Prairie Dog PeIts Found usefu1.

Pierre.-A representative q a glove
factory at Gloversviile, ~ z, has
found a practical use for praisie dogs.
The hides from half a aoseH Were
shipped to the factory, whe~e they
were made up. The result was a glove,
soft pliable as kid, waterFresf and new
err cracking or roughing TIP. The COM
pany has secured 100 dogs, which it
has liberated in a nearby rocky field,
with a woven wire fence around, and
it figures that it can raise enough dogs
in time to supply skins for the factory.
It is believed that the dogs can be
raised to maturity for 5 cents. -Four
skins will be necessary for a pair OF
gloves, which will sell fen $3.50 at
retail.

Pierre.-The woman's beard of in
vestigation of charitable and penal in
situations of the state has fled its an
nual report with the governor. The
members of the board commend zen
orally the management of she state in
stiutions under their Investigation,
but call attention to the state training
school in particular as ia reed of
changes. While the managarsent is do
ing all possible with facilities at hand.
there should in the Judgment of the
board. be a division of that institution.
They think there should be a separate
school for the manageneak of the
girls who are sent to that Institution,
and there should be a further division
of the school that the younger boys
need not be associated with the older
boys sent to that institution. They
also recommend improvements in the
gymnasium furnished for the boys.
and something more than coarse
homework as employment FOR he
girls.
