CITIZENS TRAP
ALLEGED WASHER
Husky Man Dressed In Women's
Clothing Responsible for an
Arrest at 0ayvllle.

Gayville, S. D., Nov. 9.JResi-
dents of Gayville adopted strenu-
GUS methods of Kidding the COM
munity Of an alleged "masher''
who had been making q nuisance
of himself by accosting women
on the streets. AL Wiese has
been arrested and held for trial
at the March term of state cir
cult court. In default of bonds
he will have to remain in Jail.
When the stranger went so far
as to grasp a woman on the street
it was decided that novel meas
ures must be resorted to in an
effort to run him down. James
Anderson, a husky citizen, &C
cordingly attired himself in wom-
ans clothing and in the darkness
of night entered the neighborhood
where the man carried on his OPP
erations.
Ande son had hardly appea:-
ed in the neighborhood before
the stranger came up behind him.
Anderson struck his assailant a
blow in the face, knocking his
cap off, but in the ensuing strug-
gle the man made his escape, run
ming like a deer, with Anderson in
hot persuit.
Anderson was only about three
feet behind the fugitive, when the
man, who proevd to be Wiese,
dashed into the Wiese home. The
house was surrounded by neigh
bors and Wiese was captured and
turned over to the authorities.

CAR SHORTAGE
BELIEVED GRAVE
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Urges Drastic Action
by tho Railroads.

Shortage of freight cars, the
menace of a coal famine and in
dustrial paralysis in some parts
of the country, has become SC
serious that the interstate COM
merce commission proposed to
shippers and railroads drastic
recommendations for its relief
with thinly yelled intimation
that should they fail to remedy
the situation, the commission it.
self would find way to do so.
'The condition is ACUTE" de-
clared Commissioner Frank K
Lane, who for several weeks has
been conducting an inquiry.
"Great institutions of the coun
try-the University of Michigan
at Ann Arbor, for instance-prac
tically are out of fuel and cannot
get it because there are no cars
for its transportation. If an i'm
mediate remedy is not found, peo-
pie in parts of this country will
be freezing to death because OF
their inability TO get COAL"
The car shortage is said to
have been found to be due in part
to delay in unloading cars, the
slow movement of freight cars
and failure of railroads to return
cars to the lines owning them.
In the latter case it is said, rail-
roads hold cars, paying a nominal
charge for their use. This the
commission denounces as moth
ing less than theft" Investiga-
ton of slow movement of freights
developed that a freight car av-
eraged about twenty miles a day
and that while one was moving
thirteen were standing still.
The commission makes several
suggestions for improvement of
the efficiency of freight equip
ment, and the relief of the car
shortages:
THAT a higher pc rdiem rate
: shall be made to apply the use of
cars as between the carriers.
THAT operating officials be in
structed to make full use of To-
comotives, and cars by increasing
the speed of freight trains. An
average movement of less than
twenty-five miles per car. per day
is not adequate to the need of the
times such as this. An increase
of speed is tentamount to an in
crease of equipment"

HOMESTEAD LAWS
 MAY BE CHANGED
HOUSE CONSIDERS BILL TO RE pucE TERM OF RESIDENCE ON
 LAND THREE YEARS.
Speaker Clark for First Time Takes the Floor and Urges Pass
 age of the Bill.

Washington, March 20.-The house devoted today to a bill liberalizing the homestead laws by reducing from five to two years the period of resi- dence required on public land to prove title. Settlers would be permitted to absent themselves from their home steads five months each year. The legislation making less drastic the ex- isting laws governing settlement ha3 been sought for years.
 For the first time this season Speaker lCark took the floor and urged the passage of the bill. He said it embraced legislation of the greatest importance to the whole country and not only to the west. He pointed out that the existing law was so rigid that it was driving desir- able Americans to Canada and that thousands had been forced to seek more liberal conditions in Alberta
 The bill was virtually completed when the house adjourned.
 The bill is not favored by Secre- tary Fisher of the interior depart ment. It has passed the senate. The views of the secretary were received today by Representative Taylor of Colorado, chairman of the committee on public lands.
 The bill provides for seven months presence of the entryman or his family in each calendar year Secretary Fisher says that if the word presence" is to be construed as to require taie entryman or his family tO be physically present on the land during every minute of the sev- en months, the law would be so dras- tic as to be practically prohibitive and that if it is not subject to such it remains wholly doubt ful how much presence" to be required

MIne lad eeen cIosed.

Oklahoma City, Okla, March 20.- State Mine Inspector Ed Boyle left for McCurtain, the scene of the dis aster in Sans Bois mine No. 2, as soon as possible after news of the explosion reached his office.
 Gas, in his opinion. was the cause of the explosion. There should have been very little dust in the mine at that time, he said.
 Inspector Boyle visited the mine in which the explosion occurred on Sat urday, but could not inspect it as work was suspended while the boiler was being repaired, and the air fan consequently was not working. The mine was closed all of last week.
 While at McCurtain he talked with the fire boss and with number of the men, all of whom assured him that the mine was in the best shape they had ever seen 1t.
 The mine was closed for i6 days about five months ago, under orders from Inspector Boyle. lie inspected the workings at that time, and not finding everything satisfactory, or dered suspension.
 From what I know of the mine, they will get off lucky if there were not more than 100 men killed in the explosion" Boyle said tonight before leaving for McCurtain.
