suited shortly afterward. The doctor
never regained consciousness.
That Miss Krill was not married to
the doctor and that she left n hos
pital In New York city and entered
the institution here in order to be with
him are facts the state was quick to
show when the accusation was first
made. As a probable motive for the
crime the prosecution alleges that Miss
Krill feared that DR.. Kron was about
to return to Europe and leave her alone
In America and In order to prevent
this she caused his death.
1T is true they were not married"
the attorney for the defense is quoted,
"but they were to have been married,
and both were looking forward to the
event with particular happiness. After
marriage they were going to live In
Europe" For some reason which has
not been made known the marriage
did not occur as, 1t is said, had been
planned. The attorney also denied
rumors to the effect that poison had
been found In the young girls hand
bag.
Facts that tend to strengthen the
theory Of suicide and others that Zee
to indicate that murder had been COM
mitted were gradually added to the
chain Of evidence gathered by the
state, all emphasizing the story Of love.

The intense love and passionate at
fection borne by Miss Krill for the
young Italian physician led her to
guard him jealousy and caused her to

ROTTEN EGGS
State Food Department Take,
Measures Against Their
Sale

Vermillion, Aug. 21.-Ths state
food and drug commissioner is taking
vigorous methods to enforce the law
against the sale of rotten eggs in
South Dakota. A prosecution was
made Saturday at DeSmet of a buyer
who makes it u practice to purchase
eggs as they come and sell them
without Gambling or other sorting.
Inspector A. Prestwick, of Summit,
secured the evidence and the offender
plead guilty to the charge. Other
cases are under investigation and
further prosecutions may be expected.
A campaign of education is being car-
ried on for the improvement of condi-
tions at the producing end of the
egg business. inspectors for the depart
ment having placed in nearly every
grocery store in the state copies of a
plscard furnished by the United States
Bureau of Animal Industry. This
p~lscard shows plainly the different
effects of heat on the fertile and in
fertile egg. and points out the ad-
vantages Of producing infertile eggs.
In addition about 20. 900 copies OF a
department bulletin dealing with the
care and handling Of eggs have been
distributed through merchants among
the farmers OF the state.
Most Of the commission men of the
state now buy eggs on the ''loss OFF"
basis; that is. they pay for good eggs
only. A few however, still pay for
the eggs as they come, rots and all.
1t is the latter class of buyers that the
food and drug department is trying to
discourage, as such methods encourage
careless handling of eggs by the
country merchants, who, in turn, are
not as strict as they should be with
the farmers wh%o..furnish the eggs

MODEL OF UNSUITABLE
SHIP SHOWN IN WALES.
Water Tight Betting the Secret of
Crafts Remarkable Buoyaney.

Remarkable experiments with the
model OF an unsuitable ship are de-
scribed In a letter to- the London
Times by John Rees, harbor superin-
tendent at Llanelly, Wales. The mod
el, four feet in length, nine inches
wide and scaled to represent a steam
boat 4l0 feet long and 70 wide, draw
Ing 81 feet, was loaded through FIVE
hatchways with copper ore down TO
the Plimsoll mark, and Mr.. Rees was
invited TO do what he liked with IL.
He tilted the vessel sidewise until
water filled the whole interior to the
deck leyel: then he let go. She imme-
diately righted herself and ioated east
ly and b%uoyantly, with the deck lust
above the water level.
MIR. Iees pressed her well down un-
der the water and then let go. She
Immediately bobbed up to the sur
face and floated exactly as before.
With her whole cargo shifted and still
full of water, she had a correspond
ing list, but still three-quarters of her

This floating power is obtained by
such a plan Of construction as to al
low water tight beltiEs being built
outward and downward. from the deck
level. 1t is absorbed in the ships
form, does not extend to the water
level and, following the lines of the
ship, is roughly triangular In section.
There is thus apparently no interior

tact with the hull is concerned, nor
does 1t interfere with cargo carrying,
for the vessel to all intents and pur-
poses Is an ordinary sized and shaped
one.
The inside betting being divided into
water tight compartments, IL any por-
ton OF 1t is injured owing to a collision
there is only a loss of floating power
corresponding to the section crushed In
and rendered useless.
The inventor has been working on
his Idea for twenty years. He says
that the added cost of construction to
embody his idea is about 8 per cent.

For more than ninety years proposals
have been made to change the Constitu-

until June "a, 1911, that the Senate was
induced for the first time in its history
to give it's consent to the change. On
that day it voted to submit to the states
the proposed amendment.
The resolution to submit had already
passed the House in a somewhat differ

session both houses agreed to the lam
guage to be employed, and the resolution
was deposited with the Secretary of State
