PRISON PROBE
Legislative Investigators Find No
Evidence of Mis-
management

Sioux Falls, Feb. 4.-Almost a solid
week of probing into the affairs Of the
South Dakota penitentiary during
which time nearly two score of wit
nesses have testified under oath and
about 400 pages of typewriter testi-
mony have been taken has not produced
evidence of anything seriously wrong
with the present administration of the
prison. The legislative Investigating
committee has gone through the prison
with a fine tooth comb and in its
quarters at the hotel Carpenter has
auizzed witnesses until far into the
night. While the members are ex'
ceedingly reticent, explaining that
they were sent here by the Legislature
to report to that body alone, no effort
was made to conceal the fact that thu
investigation has not brought to light
anything at all sensational against the
prison.
The Witnesses examined include con
victs now In prison, paroled and dis
charged prisoners, guards and out siderl
who have interested themselves In
prison work. Convicts were assured
by the committee that they would be
fully protected, their names concealed
and their testimony treated in a man
ner that could not embarrass them il
any way.

Who's Who2


That is what county engineer James
Logan wants to know and what he intends
to find out. The Burlington Entegpqise
yesterday afternoon printed long article
on the condition of affairs at the Broad
street bridge, Burlington. There has been
a slight difference of opinion between the
Board of Freeholders and the contractor
as to who is to bear the extra expense that
will occur owing to discovery of quick
sand at the bridge, making a change in
the matter of foundations
The Enterprise item said the matter had
not yet been definitely settled but, ''ac-
cording to a member of the Board will
probably be adjusted amicably in the near
future. The item then goes on as fol.
lows: Owing to the inexperience of a
young and inexperienced engineer, the
member stated the fact of quicksand and
such like difficulties was overlooked"
On reading the above engineer Logan
called up |. Snowden Haines, and asked
who was responsible for the article In the
Enterprise. Mr.. Haines replied that he
was not editor of the paper and said Levi.
Craft held that position. Mr.. Logan ther
called the office and could not get Graft
but the answer came that the latter NIGH
be the city editor, but that Mr.. Hainel
was the managing editor.
This left Logan in quandary and as th,
people at the Enterprise office did not seen
to know who's who" he decided to fine
out for himself. He has engaged counse
and will proceed against the paper anC
also against the member who gave the in
| formation.
Mr.. Logan contends that his plans ar,
all right. He refers to the situation OF
the railroad bridge just few yards dis
tanct from the Broad street structure
That was planned and engineered by tn,
officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, yet quicksand appeared there
after the bridge was completed, in sucl
quantity as to cause the bridge to settle
aud to delay trains for over two hour
while the bridge was being strengthened

Lumberton School Mnadle

Miss Ella Conrow, teacher In the Lum-
berton school, is having contest over her
right to retain her position. Miss Conrow
is suffering from deafness and the Board
of Education decided that she was not
competent to properly conduct the school
room under her charge. They dismissed
her. Miss Conrow appealed to the State
Commissioner of Education and he decid-
ed the young lady could not be summarily
dismissed without having charges prefer
red against her. under the provisions of
the tenure of Office act. If she was not
actively continued as teacher the Board
would be compelled to pay her salary.
The Board of Education then proceeded
under the law and there were charges
preferred to the effect that Miss Conrow
was afflicted with deafness to such an
extent as to impair her usefulness as
teacher. A copy of the charges was
served upon her and date was set for the
hearing She was notified of the time and
was told to be present with counsel ii she
desired and present her side of the case.
On the evening that the charges were to
be considered, which was five DAYS after
the notice had been served upon Miss
Conrow, she sent word to the Board of
Education that she wished to have the
hearing delayed, as she had not had sufi-
cient time to prepare her case. AS she
had been given five days notice the Board
did not think this reasonable request.
The person who had preferred the charges,
with his witnesses, were present, and
seven of the nine members of the Board
were also on hand. The request to delay
came about 10 minutes before the time
fixed for the meeting.
After considering the matter it was de-
cided to proceed. The charges were read,
testimony taken, and after full hearing,
it was decided that the charges were sus-
tanned, and Miss Conrow was again dis
missed from the corps of teachers.
But she was not going to give up so
easily and she again lodged an appeal
with the State Commissioner of Education,
the text of which was that she had not
been given a fair show, and that she
should have been allowed postponement
of the case The Board of Education
held a meeting last evening at which reso-
buttons were adopted recounting the ac-
! ton of the Board in the matter, and set
ting forth that in the opinion of the
Board the former action had been In order
and that Miss Conrow had ample time in
which to present her side of the case
The matter Is now in the hands of the
State Commissioner.

Judge Hsrner has filed an opinion ad.
hitting to probate the will of Susannah
Haines. deceased, of Mount Holly. The
opinion follows
A paper writing purporting to be the
last will and testament of Susannah
Haines, deceased, was presented to the
Surrogate for probate, but caveats having
been filed by heirs at law and next of kin.
citations were issued to all interested par
ties and the matter came on before this
court.
But two witnesses were heard. Samuel
I. Cline and Judson Gaskill, who were
the subscribing witnesses to the paper.
The testimony of Cline standing alone and
unccntradicted, would warrant no other
assumption or conclusion but that the
paper was executed In full compliance
with the statute to make 1t a will. The
direct testimony of the witness Gaskill
was substantially corroborative, but ON
cross examination, he testified, In SUBJ
stance, that the declaration as to the
nature OF the paper, and request for them

the actual signing. This, it is commended
Oy counsel for the caveatOrs, was not such
publication as required by the statutes
That the paper was signed BY the 'de-
ceased In the presence of Messrs. Cline
and Gaskill, and that they signed In her
presence and In the presence of each
other, is certain. The testimony clearly
shows that from the time of the arrival of
these witnesses at the Haines home until
their departure the sole business was the
execution of the will of Mrs. Haines and
this paper; the deceased clearly made
known to these gentlemen the business In
hand and her desire. While under the
authority OF Lacey VS.. Dobbs, So EQUITY,

time. the subscription by the attesting

ing.
In this case, accepting the testimony
given by the witness Gaskill as conclusive.
1t shows that the declaration as to the
paper, the request to the witness, and the
signing were practically contemporaneous

the statute,
