y
n ONES letter from Billy Smith
which may excuse a trife of
overtime gloating on the re-
ant Worlds Series among the At
aata fans who have a Partially for
Egly and his baseball ways.
Billy toiled heroically in the inter
-tS of his job as war correspondent
or The Georgian in the late cam
ain, and apparently II kept him too
usy TO gloat by wire. But he les
little of il out by mail
WELL, boys" says Billy, "how do
" w you like my bunch now Not
bad maybe. | picked the Ath-
etics to win the series, and there
ere a lot of real experts looking at
E. the other way. And you may re
member that l said as early as Thurs
.av that / looked for the series 10
nd that week, meaning the Athletics
WOULD win in straight gaines after
Hatty had stopped them once.
Not kidding myself, you know. but
think that wasn't such bum pick

z LILY didn't know ne would be ex-
- plotted in this shameless manner
% the public prints but he didn't say
not to print it, and it's our private
dea that Billy's picking was the best
Of the lot, and he ought to get credit
'or it. He was in direct competition
With Macbeth and Ty Cobb and Sam
'rane and a lot Of chaps that are
wise guys.
And of all the bunch. Billy's dope
ran true.
You have to hand it 10 Billy.
2 LILY gave his reasons for select
- ing the Athletics in story he
wrote for The Sunday American just
before he left for the scene of action.
He said the Giants pitchers were
Ell very well in their line, but their
Inc wasn't stout enough to hold that
smuggling battle front Of the Mack
men. He said he expected Christy 10
win his first game, and he also said
nat Plank and Bender would show
he goods.
And Billy alone OF all the dope.

bitch the first game OF the series
Slip it to B. Smith As dope

was as good as he was a manager

SPEAKING OF Billy. here's a

raveled down this way.

will be an important change in the laws
of the state with reference to the IN
heritance rights of a surviving nus
band or wife in cases where there are
no children. The measure makes the
survivor in such cases sole heir where
the property value does not exceed s5'-
600 in value, wherein only half of the
estate can be claimed under the present
law. The bill also writes another new
feature into the Law by making the
mother a joint heir with the father In
all interstate matters.
1t is not difficult to imagine that tao
tics will be employed to control these
mass meetings and that the manipula-
lions of the old convention system will
be "backed clear off the map" In the
old convention system, there was a
semblance of representation from the
various sections, in the form of dele
gates, but control of the mass meet
ing will merely be a question of people
and politics.
The nominating committees are
vested with h~andicapping functions
that make them the basis of any cam
didate getting into he game with the
prestige of his party. There is a pro-
vision, of course, for independent cam
paigns and this is likely to be invoked
as the only refuge in many cases.

vASECTOMY MEASURE
MEETS ENCOURAGEMENT

Pierre. S. D.. Feb. IAN effort to
reduce the number of criminals and
imbec1les obtained through the chan
nels of heredity is involved in a meas
ure now In preparation, and which will
be introduced in the house. The bill
is patterned after a recommendation
submitted by George H. Fulford and
A. w. Hyde, acting as a committee for
the State Medical association.
1t is prescribed to be the duty of
the officials Of every state institution
to examine carefully into the condition
of every confirmed criminal, idiot,
rapist and imbecile and ascertain
whether such condition is incurable. If
the condition is decided to be perma-
nent the officials are charged with the
duty of an operation.
Such a proposal was before the house
four years ago and one of the members
sought to have the bill considered in
executive session. 1t was discovered
that. the senate only had the power to
hold these star chamber 'doings" and
the right was even denied of having
the galleries cleared.
There was a large numbe of women
In the galleries and all of them sat
through the discussion, in spite of the
notice involved in the attempt to make
the hearing secret. Although the JUS
tice and propriety of the a was
advocated by many physicians n lay
men, the house voted down the bill.

Probably one reason why no echo of
he high cost of living alarm has
reached this country from Australia
may be found In a paragraph printed in
q produc journal which says: "A
traveller says hat in China eggs can
be purchased all year round at from
2 to 3 cents a dozen. The bulk Of the
supply is SEM to Australia. Packing at
Hong Kong costs about 81 and the
freight to Sidney Is 81 a ton. These

FARMER AND STEPSON
MURDERED IN BATTLE
AFTER DOMESTIC ROW
Second Stepson Badly Wounded
and Brother of Stepfather a
Maniac.

Watertown. s. D., Feb. 1l.-As &
climax of long standing family dissen-
sion between father and stepsons, f.
o. Hammond, aged 81, and Clifford
Jenkins, aged rs, We're shot dead, and
lanes Jenkins, 81 years of age. prob
ably fatally wounded in a general gun
fight, which occurred on the farm home
of Hammond, eight miles east OF here,
early this morning.
Hammond was killed Instantly by a
shot u charge in the face at close
range. Clifford Jenkins was shot in the
back with d revolver bullet. while
James Jenkins was struck four times
by revolver bullets. His most serious
injury being the result of a ball through
his shoulder, which shattered the
shoulder blade
Mrs. Hammond. mother of the boys,
was an eye witness of the fight, n 1t
is believed she aided her sons in the
battle against Hammond. Although
bullets flew thick and fast about her
she escaped unhurt A sister of the
X BOYS was also in the house
at the time aud escaped injury by
fleeing into the attic.
Coroner w. G, Magee was summoned
from WatertoWn and is now at the
scene of The tragedy arranging for an
Inquest.
Clyde Hammond. brother of the dead
man. who appeared on the scene 3
short time after the shooting and at
tempted TO take the life of the wound
ed Jenkins boy, is in jail here. 1t j,
believed that the shock of the killing
has driven him insane. Clyde even
attempted to drive out of the house
the first physician to arrive on the
| scene when he undertook to dress the
ounds of James Jenkins.
Hammond had been having trouble
| with his wife's sons for the past tive
years. Netghbors say that on various
occasions ne had threatened to get
them.
The boys on the other hand resent
ed the treatment accorded them by
Hammond and evidently We're prepared
for trouble. as guns appeared from un
expected places when the fight in the
little farm house was at its height.
