At PIERRE
Doings in the Legislature of
South Dakota

Pierre, Feb. 12.-One of the leaders
among the new senate pills was q
measure to allow voters to cast their
ballots when absent from their home
precincts. which is fashioned after
the Kansas law on that subject.
The senate returned an adverse re-
port on the house bunny hug" bill.
and it will be out for final action in
that body tomorrow.
The house went after the new gen
eral game law, and it soon developed
into a Eight between the farmers and
the hunters. The farmers were able to
amend the bill to prevent hunting with
dogs at any time and to put quail in
the generally protected class, but after
securing the amendments they could
not push their bill over the line and
IL went down, but the effort to put
it ont OF the class for reconsideration
failed, and it is likely to come up
again at any time.
The house took the first and de-
cisive step toward stopping the flow
of bills today by fixing the fortieth
day as the last for introduction of
general bills.
Bills we've introduced in the house
by Berg, and in the senate by Helger-
son, which give the state railway
commission rower to secure physical
valuation of telephone property, to
classify common carriers and to tx
switching charges and to compel rail
ways to properly protect street crossings
over their tracks. Hart sent in an
other bill requiring all freight trains,
except stock trains, to carry passen-
gers.
Senator Hicks has prepared and will
introduce a bill which has for its
purpose the destruction of noxious
weeds in this state, the provisions be-
ing broad enough to cover the woSk of
destruction under practically any cir
cumstances which may arise.

SOLD BOOZE
Business Men of Viborg Plead
Guilty and Pay Fines

Sioux Falls, Feb. 12.-There is an
old saw about the butcher the baker
and the candlestick maker, but the
new one is the liveryman, the baker
and the harnessman.
The scene is Viborg, a town on the
Great Northern a short distance south
of Sioux Falls, and the time the pres.
emit.
There was a feeling among the good
citizens of that berg which had been
voted dry, that "wet goods" were be-
ing distributed from some unknown
source. A vigilance committee
was organized and the aid OF a Sioux
Falls attorney was secured. This at
torney had matters turned we to him
and he put a detective in the field. As
a result a number of the leading bust
ness men Of the berg were summoned
to appear before the court, some as
witnesses and Others as common every
day culprits. Among the latter were
"a leading harness maker, a liveryman
and a baker.
Before the court started it's wheels
going a search warrant was issued and
the places of business of the liveryman,
the baker and the harnessmaker were
entered and a search brought forth 564
bottles of goods that the law says shall
not be sold in Viborg.
When the accused were brought into
court and confronted with the testimony
of friends and farmers from the ada
cent country they SAW that they were
up against it and they pleaded guilty
and took their medicine in the shape of
a fine.
The harness maker, by the way, was
a member of the city council, and he
has since resigned his position, and is
now a private citizen.

ARMY OFFICER dead
Lieutenant Call, Tenth of
Uncle Sans Navigators,
Meets Death.
WARM AIR THE CAUSE
Since 1908 Total of .9S Persons
Have Met Death in Air
Crafts.

Texas City, July S.-The dangerous
thing known to aviators as warm
air current" is held responsible for
the instant death today of Lieutenant
Loren H. Call of the aviation corps OF
the Second division of the United
States army, stationed here.
About two hours after sunrise Lieu
tenant Call, making practice landings,
had risen from the aviation field
which borders the Gulf OF Mexico, had
turned his biplane 2orthward, away
from the water, crossing the brown
tented army city and was flying over
the level treless stretches near the ar
tillery camps which lies farthest in
land. His machine, at an altitude OF
about 500 feet, was plainly visible to
several soldiers, who say that it
seemed to be running smoothly, and
that without warning, lt suddenly
turned it's nose downward and plung-
ed almost straight to earth. The i'm
pact broke nearly every bone in the
young aviator's body, making kindling
of his machine and wedging it's frag-
ments so tightly about his crumbled
body that it was difficult to take out
his inaaimate form.
The warm air" theory was advanc-
ed by other officers at the aviation
camp, who know the location over
which Lieutenant Call was flying.
The accident occurred shortly after
I o'clock.
While a board will be named to in
vestigate, the view is expressed thai
nothing remains about the wreckage
to show the real cause OF the mlshap
Lieutenant Call was regarded as
one of the best army aviators. Yester-
day he made 25-mile flight in "a
minutes. He was engaged in prac-
tice flight this morning when he met
death.
Lieutenant Call was born in MIS-.

Spectators said that Lieutenant
Call fought every inch OF the long
drop, first to right the machine and
after that was hopeless, to save his
life. Private Smith of the aero squad
ron said that the biplane seemed to
hale and plunge SO abruptly as to
pitch Call forward out of his seat.
He caught the forward rail with both
hands, his body dropping down and
dangling below the machine. With
convulsive jerk Call was seen to try
to draw himself up to the machine by
main strength as if to regain his lost
seat again. For about the first four
hundred feet he fought to get back
into the machine above him and then
gave it up, letting go the rail and
! dropping down ahead of the plane,
body erect and perpendicular, feet
seemingly braced to break the shock.
He landed true, but the force OF the
plunge was too terrific for the mans
gameness to overcome. Some OF his
leg bones were driven through the
| soles of his feet into the ground, and

Mary Duke, who is to inherit some

great tobacco magnate, is the toast
of the students of Trinity College. The
boys voted her the patroness of the
athletic field, and to her stand will
be due the restoration of football in
the college.
The students have organized for
mally, with officers, and are making
a campaign for football as serious as
any political candidates. One Of their
moves is to criticise Bishop Kilgo for
his utteranCes against the sport.
Now the boys are going to win
their fight, thanks to Miss Duke, who
made a sreech recently from the
window Of her home to 500 parading
students who called to ask Papa Duke
to help them along. Benjamin n.
Duke was asleep and his daughter did
the oratorical honors. She said that

was she, and the boys and their
friends cheered the speech and went
away sure that the game would come
back.

FUND OF $4,000
ALREADY RAISED
FOR UNIVERSITY
Eighty Acres on Peachtree Road
Near Silver Lake Are Sc
cured for 0gIethorpe,

Plans for the establishment OF
Oglethorpe University on PeaChtree
road, at it's junction with the boule-
ward leading to Silver Lake, are de-
veloping rapidly, and an important
announcement regarding the move
ment is expected as soon as the At
lanta committee, which is an extern
sive one. can be gotten together
DR.. Thornwell Jacobs, who has the
matter In hand, has secured subscrip-
tons of $4,000 to the university fund
within the last ten days, all outside OF
Atlanta, and 1t is growing with graft
flying rapidity. Already q splendid
fund has been raised, with the main
campaign yet to come.
The site chosen for the university Ia
q tract of approximately so acres on
Peachtree road, the larger portion of
which was given for university pur-
poses by the owners of the Silver
Lake property and c. II. Ashford.
Upon the opposite corner of the
road and boulevard will be located
the university chapel, upon q tract
also given from the Silver Lake prop
erty.
The consensus Of opinion is that
no finer or better site for Oglethorpe
University could have been chosen
anywhere around Atlanta, and the
presence of the lake is considered
particularly valuable as 1t will be
used by the students for their boat
races and other aquatic sports.
Big Development Coming.
This entire territory, including the
university tract and the property ad-
jacent to it, is on the eve Of one of
the most important and extensive de-
velopments Atlanta has known In
years.
Announcement by L. p Bottenfield
of the early development of the Sill
yer Lake property into a residence
community, to be known as Silver
Lake Estates, has been received with
enthusiastic interest, not only in At
lanta, but in many other sections
where this property is known.
we have received hundreds of in
quiries about Silver Lake Estates
since our announcement just one week
ago." Mr.. Bottenfield said, land the
enthusiasm with which our plans have
been greeted has proven most graft
flying.
"Our plan for a land dividend
equivalent in value, at agreed selling
price, to the amount of each stock
subscription, has proven a most pop
ular feature"
