WILSON'S VISIT PACKS GALLERIES Demand for Admission NecesSi- tates Special Guards at
 All Entrances Commissioner M'Chord Expects to Have Springfield Wreck
 Ready in 10 Days

Washington, June 23-The coming of the President to the Capitol today for the second time during the special ses- sion of Congress to read message will put everything else in the shade for the day. When he came to read his tariff message Doorkeeper Sinnott issued two gallery tickets to each member of the House and each Sena- tor while the cabinet officers and members Of legations had an equal number. But for tomorrow there will be only one ticket for each member is such a new thing for a president Houses to deliver his message in per son that about everyone in Washing ton, including those to whom a visit wants to be present to hear the mes and Congressman take it. Five times the number of available seats would not suffice as was learned by the doprkeeper the first time the president came. Then many people got into the Capitol through the subways, and side doors, and some sent out their tickets to others after they had got inside. The result was that the late corners with tickets could not get near the gallery doors. Today each ticket will be numbered and charged to the mem Der receiving it, and the same will be taken up at the doors. In addition guards will be placed at the subways and at all of the doors to prevent over crowding and to prevent. the admission of non-ticket holders

The Senate committee has recom- mended a considerable cut in the rates of the cheaper grades of automobile. The House bill made the rate 45 per cent on all grades, the Senate com n1ittee recommends a. rate of 35 per cent on cars valued at less than $1, 800. A number of Senator's were in favor of a rate of but 10 per cent or 15 per cent on these cheaper grades claim ing that they were not a commercial necessity.

DoNovANs KICK COUNTS


 The Democratic caucus Of the Sen ate convened this morning to further consider the report of the Finance committee on the Underwood tariff bill No contests have been made over any of the schedules reported, although it is hinted that there may be some differences which will be easily ad- justed.
 Congressman Jeremiah Donovan O. Conn, who has become quite a fa- rniliar figure on the Senate side of the Capitol for the past five or six weeks where he could be seen on days the House was not in session, seated on the floor of the Senate, is said to be responsible for the increase in tn schedule on felt hats from 40 to 45 per cent But MT. Donovan only smiles and says that he is not taking credit for anything when asked about the matter His speech upon the hat schedule while the bill was being con sidered by the House is said to have been consulted by the Finance com mittee in making the change in the rate. Three other items which Mir Donovan spoke in favor of raising were raised by the Senate committee, and now that the Senate committee has changed the figures his colleagues are saying that it certainly pays to l kick

Al New Light on the New
TOwnsite Controversy.

We have in our hands a copy
Of the petition asking for a town
site between Tabor and Yankton.
1t is q remarkable document in
all of its phases and scope insofar
as it tends to show how easy i
matter it is to secure signatures
OF otherwise well-meaning people
to any old thing, provided you 60
after them real hard''. IT. also
shows that people are always will
ing to help a neighbor, provided
it costs them nothing. Prior to
the coming of this copy into our
hands we were of the opinion that
the promoters were honest in the
matter, but upon a detailed analy-
sis of the petition as compared
with the facts we were compelled
to change our mind. 1t seems
that the object of the promoters
who circulated the petition was
to get as many names as posi-
ble'', and sure enough they we're
successful in getting 90 names--alI
heads of families.
We propose to prove by the
face of the petition itself that it is
a joke. Thus paragraph 5 of the
petition reads:
THAT the petitioners are farmers
and shippers and land owners residing
In the territory tributary To a point
located midway along said railroad
companies line between the cltV OF
Yankton and the town Of Tabor, S
Dr.
Here are the facts. For instance
on the petition there appear the
names Of the following farmers,
shippers and land owners:
1. John Gleirh, Mr.. GleIch Is d
wholesaler OF sIft drinks at Lakepori
land every body knows 10 TOO, and
owns no farmland.
2. Chas. j.. Cabalka. lie Is a re-
tired farmer residing In LesterytlIe
the past 7 years.

Paragraph 10 says: That the
southwest quacsse r of sec, % in
twp. "a, rye 81, in Yankton Co.,
s. d. is about equally distant
from the city Of Yankton- and the
town of Tabor, s. d."
This would be tragic 1T it were
not comical. The fact is that this
piece of land is situated 5 miles
east of Tabor and IL miles from
Yankton. But q tri6ing matter
of several miles is immaterial to
the promoters, and for this reason
we shall call it about" half way
and let it 20 at that.
We have so far proved by %
names Of the 95 that not all of the
signers are farmers, shippers and
land owners who reside in the
territory Of the new town. We
hass proved that 81 df The signers
live closer to other towns, with
better roads and markets than the
would ever have to the proposed
town Besides these, there appear
The Tabor independent. [volume] (Tabor, S.D.) 1913-19??, 1913-09-25

on that remarkable document the
names Of John Loakafar and Jas.
Hedrie. No one seems to know
these parties and whether these
are only fictitious names to help
fill in the list of 100 heads of fa-
miles, we are unable to say. As
soon as time will permit we shall
get the why and wherefore of the
two names from the promoters.
The petition bears names of 43
signers who reside from 81 to Z
miles either from Tabor, Yankton
|Lesterville and Utica which is not
such a great distance, not by a
long shot. Many Of the signers
who live in the direction of Yank-
ton have been in the habit of haul
ing their products to Yankton as
long as they have been engaged in
farming, altho they have other
towns closer, because Yankton pri-
.ces for farm products are higher
on account of its large -four mill
and three railroads which afford
an outlet for products in various
directions. These are advantages
and these farmers even If thew
lived within a mile of Feifarburg
would rather make the 5 or Emile
haul to Yankton.
To sum up, we might add that
many of those who signed the pc
tition, upon being interviewed,
stated that they are totally indif-
.ferent in the matter and signed
the petition to get rid Of the inn
Fortunate promoters. We might
also add that there is no crying
need of a new town, because not
one Of the signers would be notice
ably misunderstanding Of course
the FIVE or six promoters. If any
doubts the truth of our statements
insofar as the true situation of
each signer is concerned, we res
pectfully urge him to make a PEI.
rusal of the map and to inyesti-
gate.
Tbs is not an attack on anyone,
but the purpose Of this article is
to record matters as they actually
stand and to prove to the public
that there is no actual or natural
demand for a townsite between
Tabor and Yankton. Ii is better
to have towns a reasonable dis
lance apart than TO crowd the
country with numberless starving
villages.

A USELESS SLAUGHTER.

(From the Pittsburg Post.)
An entire family wiped out in the
collision Of railroad train with an
automobile lends new force to what
has been said in these column con-
cerning the duty OF drivers to be
cautious at grade crossings. The rail-
road Is fixed institution and the
engineman has no power to turn out
OF his course. The driver knows
where the railroad IL and should be
sure the track is clear before cross
ing. These danger spots are being
gradually abolished at great expense
to the railroads. Meantime the burjer
of caution Is on those who can turn
out, or who. having no schedules to
make for the public convenience, can
stop long enough TO make sure they
are safe. Let US get rid Of the cross
ings at grade. but pending that de-
sirable end. let us take care to not be
victims at such places

But rest thee here at my cottage porch
For thy feet are weary and sore" :"

Said the farmer, SAY no more,
prithee sit at my frugal board,
And eat of my humble store.
How fares my boy-my soldier boy
OF the old Ninth Army Corps?
1 warrant he bore him gallantly
In the smoke and the battles roar!

And as / remarked before.
I was with Grant" Nan, nay,
know"
said the farmer, "say no more;
He fell in battle? 1 see, alas!
Thou'dst smooth these tidings Ger
Nay, speak the truth, whatever it be
Though It rend my bosom's core.
How fell he-with fact to the foe.
Upholding the flag he bore?
oh, say not that my boy disgraced
The uniform that he wore!"
II cannot TELL" said the ageds man.
And should have remarked before
That / was with Grant-in Illinois

Then the farmer spake him never a

But beat with his fist full sore.
