Obscene Letter Writer Gets No
Relief From United States
Supreme Court.

Sioux Fails, S. d., March s.--Inform-
alton has reached the United states
authorities In Sioux Falls that the
United States supreme court has af-
firmed the sentenced imposed by Judge
Elliott, OF the federal court In this
city, in the case Of the United states
va. Lester r. Bartell. BarteIl was con-.
yicted at a term OF federal court held
In Sioux Falls last April OF sending
Objectionable matter through the mails.
Judge Elliott imposed upon Bartell the
maximum penalty prescribed by law
a fine Of $1,000 and imprisonment for
a period OF five years in h federal
penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan.
The case resulted from a letter mailed
by him to Miss Zella Derelee, a school
teacher, who lived with her mother in
Sioux Falls, the letter by mistake
reaching the mother, who turned it
over to the federal authorities. The
cas- was an unusually fragrant one,
and ii was because of this that the
penalty was made so severe.

BANK GUARANTEE BILL
LOSES IN FIRST ROUND

Pierre, s.. D., March 3.--On the first
legislative tussle the bank guarantee
proposition came out slightly disfig-
ured. This was the defeat of the Hale
bill in h senate by a vote of rs to Ii.
The measure is patterned somewhat
after the Kansas and Nebraska plan,
providing for direct assessments on
the banks for creation of the fund.
Many of the members who voted
against the Hale bill insist that their
votes against this measure do not
class them in opposition to the prin-
sition relates only to the particular
measure under consideration,
The bankers of the senate-quite a
numerous co~ntingent-are willing TO
support the Russell resolution provid-
ing for a tax on the property Of the
state for a guarantee fund, but the
other members are not inclined to sub
the banker members Of the legisla-
ture frankly declare that they see no
necessity for q guarantee law.
4 Bankers Oppose Measure. u.
In discussion of the Hale bill. Sen
ator Odland, a banker, made the claim
hat IS per cent OF the bankers of the
state are opposed to the enactment OF
such a measure. He said that men,
bers had been m~emorali2ed to this eff
rect Dy telegram, from nearly all Oh
the bankers in the state.
Senator Norbeck ook occasion to
throw a few caustic jabs at the COM
mittee on banks and banking, when he
tried to secure consideration first on
the direct tax resolution proposed by
the bankers. the two measures having
been submitted as a special order at
the same hour. "
I'VE have been advised" he said.
"that the committee was holding up
the bank guarantee bills until they
could complete this resolution. Now
they have it before us and / am will
ing to give it the first consideration"
: The bankers apparently had a mo-
tive in wanting first consideration on
the Hale bill. Votes against that meas
ure could be justified on the claim of
being more favorable to another meas
ure pending on the calendar. If the
bankers resolution had been put up
first and killed-as surely would have
been its fate-no such preteXt would
have been in force.
After the Hale bill was killed, action
was deferred Of the Russell direct tax
resolution, which is apparently con
sidered a good thing to keep alive as
a general foil against bank guarantee
legislation.
