Gettysburg, Pa, July Terrific
heat and high humidity today swept
the field of Gettysburg, as so years ago
it was racked by shot and shell, and up
to noon more than 300 veterans Of the
blue and the gray had been treated
for prostration and weakness brought
on by the binding sunshine which
poured down on the blOod-soaked field.
Gettysburg town and the battlefield
today were swamped with humanity,
and all accommodations were inadequate
in the face of the crowd Of nearly 200,-
900 who swarmed to see the veterans
who once battled to the death meet in
friendly communion on the ground they
consecrated with their blood. In all di.
rections from the battlefield the roads
were packed with automobiles and 9th
er vehicles for 25 miles. Hundreds OF
people slept last night ON the battle.

town, and so great is the throng that

cation Project.

CREDIT UNAFFECTED
BY USING MONEY

The state supreme court today deeid-
ed that the contentious Of L. II. Nc
Mahan, who recently brought suit en-
joining the secretary Of state and tho
state treasurer from paying any money
into the Columbia Southern irrigation
project, were without foundation, and
not well taken, and that the state leg.
islature had right to appropriate
$45O,OOO for the work, with the prom.
Use Of congress to pay it back, and did
not in any way loan the states credit.
On that point the court says:
"We are unable to see that this act
IN any manner loans the Credit Of the
state. 1t is true that large appropria-
tiOn of public funds has been made for
the completion of project to irrigate
and thereby reclaim certain lands, but
1t is purely a state enterprises. No
credit is extended TO private sources to
promote private schemes. The act di-
reefs the state to protect itstitIe TO the
property included in the project, and
to make all arrangements necessary for
the proper construction and completion
Of the irrigation works TO reclaim the
lands. The state, through the desert
land board, fixes the price to be paid
for water rights and from the date Of
reclamation Of any tract valid lien is
created in favor Of the state"
Legislature Has Power.
McMahan, in his suit went on to say
that the legislature was without power
to levy any tax on the people, by such
an act when there was no provision for
the act made. The court says the leg.
isature has the power.
The remaining contention Of Me-
Mahan was that the money appropriate
ed was for private use. The court by
lengthy argument showed conclusively
that such was not the case.
Immediately upon the rendering of
the decision by the court the desert
land board went into session, and has
taken action to go ahead with the
work with all possible haste, now that
it has clean road.

could be had upon testimony as to com
mon repute as such We also believe
that unwarranted reports have been cir
culated against some lodging houses,
and that in such instances the police
department has acted properly and
wisely in their investigations thereof.
"We do believe, nevertheless, that
there mas not been the firmness and ag-
gression upon the part Of the police de-
partment which should characterize po-
lice officials in a city like Salem, in
the suppression Of the social evils. The
wicked always deny their sins, and it
takes more than the mere asking if they
are guilty to discover the truth. If the
present police department would WELD
a club with strong arm, they would
soon remove cause and complaint upon
this score; and if they do not act
promptly and energetically to that end,
we would recommend the city council
should use the stick.
Other Departments Involved.
''After closing the taking Of testi-
mony at public meetings and preparing
our report, we learned of large mum
ber of witnesses and important facts
which could only be secured in secret
meetings, so we continued our labors
until this time, but even now, as we
are preparing this report, we find i'm
portart facts which seem to relate ia
the present condition, but, inasmuch as
they involve other departments Of the
city government, and are not strictly
within the purview Of the resolution
under which we are acting, we now re-

The following report was submitted
to the council last evening by the spe-
cial committee appointed to investigate
the police department:
"We, your committee, appointed un-
der resolution No. - do hereby most re-
spectfully make the following report:
First. The committee has been to a
considerable degree handicapped by
reason of the fact that we had no au-
thority to compel the attendance of wit
nesses, or to put witnesses upon oath
when testifying before us. We, hOwev-
er, used our utmost endeavors to investi-
gate all charges against the chief of
police and the police department, and
have heard the testimony of a large
number of witnesses, who would only
give testimony at private sittings of
the committee.
"From testimony offered we found
nothing to reflect upon the integrity
or honor Of City Marshal Shedeck, and
the charges that he had been guilty Of
Clipping off" any attempted raids up
on disorderly lodging houses were not
sustained by the evidence offered us
We find, however, that such charges
were made against the chief of police
and reported to Councilman Minton
prior to his making the complaint be
fore the city council.
Practically Bawdy Houses.
"Second. There has been much evi
dence adduced before us from which WE
believe that there are several lodging
houses in Salem which have been care
less, and, in some instances, perhaps
purpOsely so, in the selection Of theil
patrons, and in at least three instances
amounts practically to the running Of
bawdy houses, and we believe convic

y HOG STATISTICS or THE STATE
HlcHa SHOW AN ENORMOUS.
INCREASE FOR THE LAST
THREE YEARS. sAit

A matter of great interest to the
farming element Of the state as Well
as the financiers will be the fact that
the hog statistics of all the counties of
North Dakota show an enormous in-
crease in hog raising in the last three
years. 's @
-Four counties of the state, Benson,
Dickey Ransom and Richland, raised
over 10000 hogs each last year. This
is considered remarkable for North
Dakota where little attention has thus
far ever been paid to swine.
Dickey county perhaps l. holds. the
banner record of all the counties in
the state for hog raising in the last
three years. In 1911 there were 1900
hogs raised in Dickey county. Last
year this number was increased to-
$500, while this year the total number
of Dickey county hogs amounts to
1928. -s-s.l-
49, The number of hogs raised in Barnes
county in 1912 was 4,161. This year

Stutsman county raised 2,6e2 hogs in

creased to 4,40T %-
