Arnold Declares That Prosecutor
and Police Joined in Head
Hunting Policy.

Approaching the conclusion
of his scathing arraignment of
the conditions which prevailed
at the trial of Leo NJ. Frank.
Attorney Reuben Arnold Mon
day repeated his accusation that
Solicitor Dorsey in obtaining
Frank s conviction had appealed
to the mob and had held the fear
of mob violence before the eyes
ct the twelve jurymen.
Arnold charged that the So
licitor had coerced verdict and
had excited the passions of the
crowds by his infammatory ap-
peals to their lust for blood.
There never was such a spec
tacle IN Georgia court of jus.
tice as that presented by Dor
sey's protection of Conley," Ar
mold said. He simply picked
him up on his shoulders and
carried him through the trial.
He virtually said. You NAV
depend on me, jim, | will see
that you are taken care of.
Instead of maintaining quasi.
judicial attitude as the law in
structs, Solicitor Dorsey through
out the trial was bitterly parti
san and was hand in glove with
detectives in their 'headhunt.

Police Are Attacked.
The Solicitor and the detectives
were just going to get Frank nolens

of Attorney Ornold when the hear

morning. The indictment against
Frank was brought before the Grand
Jury ever knew about Conley's con-
fession, before there ever was any
thing to warrant the indictment.

pervaded the investigation all the
way through.
The Solicitor contends that Con-
ley's story damns Frank. but this
Indictment was drawn and returned
before ever the grand jurors were
aware of the Negroes statements AMI
before there was anything to connect
Frank with the crime except his free
and voluntary admission that he was
in the factory at the time Mary Pha-
gan came in to get her pay.
Question of Perversion.
People have been only too eager
to believe Frank pervert. But from
what source did they get their infor-

person, the misera BILE lying Jim Con-

stake. | am making no charges, but
1t required only the merest sugges-

Conley " utter this infamous and
diabolical lie against Frank in order
to save his own neck.
What were the detectives doing

him? The States own witness, De-
tective Harry Scott, admitted that
they coaXed, cajoled, threatened, led
and prompted the negro and pointed
out to him the weak spots i'll mis-

WILL QUIT

Geo. p. Sexauer & Son have decided
to quit grinding -four and will close
down that part Of their business the
1st of May. They will continue in the
feed and elevator business and also
handle flour and they expect to add
one or two more elevators to their
string along the Northwestern
system. Mr.. Sexauer tells us that
they decided to give up grinding flour
because there is not now nor has
there been for some years any money
in the business for the small mill. The
keen competition of the big mills,
with their immense facilities fov turn
ing out -four has doomed the small in
stitution and they are gradually dis
Five years ago there were
1872 mills running in this state and
today there are less than twenty-five.
Sexauer has had hard work to
keep the mill going for some years
and has had to pay quite a premium to
get good milling wheat. This wheat
was secured mostly by his elevators
west of here and the railroad charges
to Brookings were so high as to leave
no profit. Mr.. Sexauer is not feeling
as badly abou, the matter as would
be naturally expected, as he says that
he knows his business in the future
will be paying dividends and he will
not have to put in the strenuous labor
that he has in the past few years. The
necessity for closing down a part OF
the mill Is to be regretted, al it will

GOOD ROADS MEETING

The good roads convention called
by the Commercial Club to meet in
Brookings April 9th, 1913, will be one
of the most important road conven-
tons held in South Dakota for some
time.
During the winter the highway from
st. Paul and Minneapolis, along the
Minnesota river to st. Peter and
Mankato was declared a state road
and designated for federal aid. The
counties through which this road runs,
appropriated the necessary money for
construction of a model gravel road.
After the above action was taken, a
road convention was called at Spring
field, Minnesota, March eth, where five
counties united and will construct a
gravel road all the way from st. Peter
and Mankato to the state line east of
Elkton. Hence by this fall we will
have a gravel road all the way from
Elkton to the Twin Cities.
On March 2Sth a road convention
was held at Miller, S. d., where all
the cities and towns between Huron
and Pierre We're invited.
On March 31st and April 1st, a gen
eral convention was held at Deadwood,
where delegates all the way from
Bookings to the Yellow Stone Park
were invited.
At the convention to be neld here,
the question of getting the three
counties of Bookings, K%ingsbury and
and Beadle to unite on a fixed pro-
gram of road Improvement will be
considered. Hence it is important that
all county commissioners, township
supervisors, city councils and all peo-
pie interested along the proposed
highway should attend the convention.
Governor Byrne has attended the
convention both at Miller and Dead,
wood, and he will be present and adj
dress the convention at Brookings.
Prof. SOlberg, who originated this
movement, will address the conven-
ton on the Importance of this high
way, and give an outline of the pro-
posed program.
A luncheon will be served by the
Commercial Club to visiting delegates.

AT HOME

State Treasurer Ewert has been
guessing for a few days as to just
what Is the motive back of the refusal
Of eastern financial concerns to bid on
an issue of 100000 of South Dakota
revenue warrants, says a Pierre dis
patch. In past years these warrants
have been readily taken up at between
4 and 5 per cent, but this year the only
bid received from the east was 6 per
cent, while most of the replies from
eastern financial concerns were mot
interested"
A Deadwood bank bid 5K per cent,
which was considered too high, and
by a little effort on the part of the
treasurer the whole amount was float
ed in different banks in Pierre, Sioux
Falls, Abei deem, Redfeld and Brook
ings at 5 per cent straight, showing
that for such a sum the state need not
worry as to what eastern bankers will
do.
The general tenor Of the replies
from the eastern concerns was that
they were not looking for low-priced
loans. This situation in the east, along
with the last Henry Clews letter, in
which he says money centers are
watching what the new administration
will do, leads to the conclusion that
the financial affairs of the country are
likely to be more or less unsettled for
a time at least.

SOREN F. HENRY

Soren F. Henry, one Of the settlers
on the townsite Of Bookings, passed
away at Minneapolis on Wednesday of
last week. The remains arrived here
on Saturday morning and the funeral
was held from the Lutheran church
that afternoon, being largely attended
by the friends of the pioneer settler.
Rev. H. Fossness preached a very
comforting sermon, and the remains
were conveyed to their last resting
place in the Lutheran cemetery.
Soren F. Henry was born on a farm
near Fimreita, Norway, October 25,
1885. He came to America in 1857,
locating at Leroy, Mimi, being one Of
the pioneers of that community. Thir-
ty-five years ago he came with his
family to Brookings county, taking up
a homestead upon what is now a part
of the city of Brookings. His home
stead was the quarter west of Main
street and north of Sixth street, q
section that is now built up with beau
tiful homes, but when he took it up
the town had not been started and it
was nothing but prairie. His home is
still standing, being the first house
north Of the fair grounds. His wife
passed away about fifteen years ago,
and ten years ago he left Brookings to
make his home with daughters in
Wisconsin and Minneapolis. He under
went an operation at Minneapolis last
year, which weakened him and he fell
an easy victim to pneumonia.
He leaves to mourn his death three
sons and four daughters. The sons are
William of Lake Benton, Hans, who
lives a mile west of Brookings, and
Chris Of Alberta, Canada. The daugh-
ters are, Mrs. n. Lee of Oakland, CAL,
Mrs. S. Anderson of Alberta, Canada,
Mrs. Wesenburg of Spooner, Wis, and
Mrs. Chris Teien of Minneapolis.
Mr.. Henry was n of these rugged
Scandinavian pioneers who have done
so much to build up Brookings county
and other parts Of South Dakota. He
was a good husband and father, and a
friend and a neighbor who will be long
remembered by those who knew him.

HAVE LESS CAUSE TO WORRY
One Reason That lie Put Forward to
Explain the Superior Longevity
Of Women.

Though doctors have long realized
that. thanks to better knowledge Of
sanitation and personal hygiene, people
much greater relative longevity of
women as shown in the recently pub
lished English national debt Offices re-
port on the mortality of government
life annuitants has come as a general
surprise.
In summary Of these figures it was
shown that the expectation of life of a
woman of fifty is now more than year
greater than it was in 1875, while that
of man of the same age La only three
months greater.
A London physician says that the
essential cause OF death is a wearing
out from overwork of our brain cells.
Women may be just as brainy as men.
but do not work with their brain cells
as vigorously or as continuously as do
their male relatives. If they did there
would not be so great disparity in
the length of life of the two sexes"
Another consultant pats down wom-
ans greater expectation Of life to the
more sheltered existence she leads,
and the lack of the physically depres-
sing competition which Is part Of
nearly every mans life. "a woman may
have hard work to DO he explained,
but except for the few who work In
offices or who follow professions, they
work in their own homes and at pace
they set for themselves. The home is
also, as rule, vastly more airy. sunny
and generally more wholesome than
is her husbands shop or Office"

that shepherd has found near Cape

What Makes Flowers Blue.

OF all the many substances that
are combined to make a flower, what
is the particular one to which is due
the red, blue or yellow color? Why,
for example, are gentians blue and
roses red, and why has no one ever
seen a red gentian or a blue rose?
The chemist can tell us. Taking the
plants that produce really blue-not
violet-fowers, he considers which Of
their constituents is peculiar to them.
True blue exists in veronicas, salvias.
verbenas, basil, solanum, penstemon,
nemophila, convovulus, borage,
hounds tongue and in all the orders
allied to the Gentianacea and Com
positae, but never in lupins, vetches,
peas, geraniums, hollyhocks, primu-
las, roses, balsams, fax, etc. All the
blue-producing plants just named have
a tannin in them which does not exist
in the others. This is called caffetan-
min. 1t is found in coffee, but not in
tea. Tea contains another form of
tannin which is the same as that
which makes camellias red.
