WILD DEER
In Iowa Pose for Moving Picture
Films-Large Bands Roam
the Fields

Avoca, Ia, March IA panorama
of wild deer in Iowa in this year of
1918 is a statement to ~conjure with
Friday and Saturday moving pictures
of the herds of antelope which for
years has roamed throughout south
western Iowa were taken near here.
As many as $50 deer were brought
within the focus of the operators lens.
1t was stated at the close of the two
days work that several reels of 100 to
900 feet were secured.
The deer were caught 10 all sorts of
attitudes and positions. They we're
pictured lying down in heids of 90
and so; in herds grazing aud in full
flight with the Nishnabotua river bot
tom for a setting.
The deer, which have thrived and
increased in number here are now be
lieved to number between 800 and 400.
They are scattered over such a wide
territory that no one has ever been
able to make an accurate estimate of
their number. William Barnholdt a
wellknown farmer, northeast of Avoca,
counted 900 deer in one herd, and one
of his neighbors on another occasion
counted 240 of them. Later in the sea
son, during the mating. the deer are
not seen in large numbers.
Sentiment concerning the presence
Of the deer in a strictly farming sec
tion is divided, but it is believed that
the ma jority Of the farmers prefer that
the state should not modest them. They
are a constant source of interest and at.
~tention and but for the great amount
of illegal killing that is constantly be-
ing done despite the utmost watchful-
ness ON the part of the game waidens,
the farmer, who are the natural pro
tectors of the deer, they would 10 y
short time become a men ice, it is be
lieved.
Quite recently the anne of the
country between here and HARLAN.
where the deer have their run, have
organized for the purpose of dealing
with the deer question, These farmers
want a policy adopted that will pre-
serve the deer and they have tentative
ly adopted this policy:
The deer are to remain she property
of the state and all things in relation
to them is to be in the hands of the
state game warden; a park is to be
enclosed of about thirty acres into
which the deer will be gathered an
nually for disposition of bucks and
sale of stock to parks or others; the
balance to be then turned loose and
protected from marauders; the funds
derived from the sale of the excess stock
should be used to pay the farmers for
the damage which they sustain from
time to time by the deer.
40 effort is being made to have the
state legislature adopt such a plan or
one like it. The deer have become SO
domesticated that they roam over the
corn fields and grain fields of the farm
ers and sometimes ravage the young
orchards.

As the walking looked difficult for the

PLEA FOR KINDNESS TO
CHILDREN MADE IN PLAY.
"a Good Little Devil" Has Remarkable
Speech For Little Ones.

In David Belasco's production of "a
Is one remarkable speech which Ernest
Truck, In his fine performance of
Charles Maclance, delivers with such
tenderness that all the big people In
the audience go through the business
of swallowing bumps" The good
little devir' Is starved and beaten by
his cruel ogress Of an aunt. Finally
be steps out over the footlights and
speaks direct to the audience this plea
for the child:
Mothers, fathers, everybody, do not
be unkind. We are children for such a
little while. Love is very fragile, chill
dren very small. Can't you hear the
cry that is raised in all the land, the
cry of those who are scolded without
reason, without justice? All, do not be
unkind! The cry is in the palace, in
the village, in the howell. Listen!
Can't you hear it? 1 am no longer
Charles, no longer a child in a fairy
play. / am all c~hildren-all children
who are wounded and hurt, whose
lonely hearts are broken by punishment
and neglect.
'All the children in the world have
asked me to speak for them tonight.
And all the grown up children, too; the
men who have failed, who are too
weak, too dumb with sorrow, to speak
for themselves; all the bewildered, the
neglected, the terrified, the forgotten
all have have asked me to speak for
them tonight. | am no longer Charles
I am just a little boy laying bare his
heart to try to make you understand.
"You may punish little children with
severity and hatred, but never so will
you win them to be good. No. The
hands that are holding these old world
weapons are growing feebler and fee
bier every day. They are dying, they
are dying, they are dead, and love is
coming into the hearts of men"
Nine. Rostand and her son, Maurice,
are the authors of "a Good Little Dev-
H." but IT seems safe to assert that
only q mother could have written such
a speech as this.

SOUTH DAKOTANS
Elope to Sioux City and Are
Picked Up by Police

Sioux City, March IA. That the
Mann white slave act will not stand a
broad construction is the opinion of
District Attorney Fl. 81. Faville. who
refused to prosecute P. j. Elan
cry, of Wagner, s. D., who was ar
rested in Sioux City at the New York
hotel in company with Miss Nora Mur-
ray, an IS year-old girl from Wagner.
whom ne represented to be his wife.
An attempt was made to prosecute
Flanery under the Mann act. He was
taken before United States Commits
sioner A o. Wakefield. Mr.. Faville
was communicated with over the phone,
and he advised against federal prosecu-
tion.
AS a result of the district attorneys
decision, Flanery may go free. The
matter. taken ont of federal jurisdic-
ton, was left with the state. A
charge could be maintained against
the man by the state authorities. for
Flanery is married and his legal wife
lives in Wagner, but the wife does not
relish the idea of prosecuting her hus-
band.
Flanery and the Murray girl are be.
ing detained at the police station, pend
ing developments.
The police were notified to be on the
lookout for the pair, who had taken
a train from Wagner earlier in the
day. Flanery, when arrested, gave
his age as 30 years. Detectives Gus
Danielson and Harry Luce we've put on
the case and spotted the couple when
they stepped off the train. They fol.
lowed them to the New York hotel,
where Flanery registered as man and
wife. The room and the man were
kept under surveillance, and shortly
after 10 o'clock the officer raped on
the door and informed the man that
he was under arrest. Tho man and
m were then sorted to the sta
ton. Flanery stoutly asserting that
the woman was his wife. The girl
broke down when questioned by Police
Matron Anna Roberts. She admitted
that she was not the wife of FIanery
and said that Flanery had induced her
w 81 Nibh h1h W oIOuA Stty.
The girl was taken before Commits
siouer Wakefield where she made a
clear confession. When asked il she
loved the man, she replied that she did
and that it was love that had induced
her to run away with him.
The Mann act, according to federal
authorities, comes under the inter-
state commerce clause of the constitu-
ton, and prohibits traffic in women
between n state and another. AS
MIR. Faville CONSTITUTES the law, a man
to be prosecuted under the act, must
be shown to have taken the girl with
him for commercial purposes.
The supreme court of the United
States has not yet passed on the broad
construction of the act, although only
a short time ago the court declared the
act to be constitutional.
When the matter was brought before
the attention If County Attorney Chris
Jepson he declared that the only way
that the state could prosecute Fianery
would be through information fled by
the mans wife. @. r. Jones. assistant
prosecutor, said that he did not ex-
pect the state to take any action on
the matter, as the wife refused to act.
Flanery was released and a brother
OF the girl took her to her home.

SKATERS PRECEDENTS
Gov. Byrne's Method of Filling
Offices New in South
Dakota

Pierre, March f4.-Gonvernor Byrne
is certainly Earring tradition and pre-.
cedents in making bis selection for APP
pointive places under his administra-
tion. Several of his appointments have
come like a shock to those who were
applicants with a strolling of political
endorsements, and waiting to find out
just where they really stood, when
they found at the finish the appoint
ment had gone to some one not ever
an applicant, and picked because the
governor thought he was the right
man fol- the place. Among such APP
pointments are that of the new state
engineer and the state printing com
missioner, neither of these men knowing
that they were to be appointed until
called upen by the governor to take
the places. This action on his part is
calling walls and predictions of woe on
the part of some of the progressive
political leaders who cannot see any
reason why appointments should iii any
way go to members of the old line
political faction, but their complaints
do not appear to go very far, unless
they can make a showing of efficiency
along with political endorsement and
their kicks apparently do not help
their case to any extent. Apparently
this administration is to be one of
efficiency rather than politics in the
manner of appointments.
