WANT CLOSED
DEER SEASON
23O LAWRENCE COUNTY HUNT
ERS OBTAIN ONLY 32 AND
THINK SUPPLY is DE-
PLETED.

Deadwood, S. D.-Agitaton among
Black Hills hunters for a closed sea
son of several years on deer, has
started as a result of the ill-luck of
the numerous hunters in the Hills
this month. With scarcely one week
of the season left, but 80 deer have
been bagged in the Black Hills this
season which is far under the usual
number. In this county alone there
have been 230 licenses issued and
only dozen of them have resulted in
killings. While it is true that there
has been no snow this month except
in a few high spots in the Hills, and
consequently the deer had better
chances of escaping detection, the
hunters all report II great scarcity of
the animals and believe that Il closed
season is necessary to replenish the
number in the Hills.

CLERK is TAKEN
FOR BIG THEFT
ONE TIME EN1PLOYE OF JOHN w.
GATES ARRESTED FOR STEAL
ING QUARTER MILLION
In SECURITIES.

New York City.-James Edward
Foye, one time clerk of John w. Cat
is, is under arrest charged with steul-
ing securities valued at quarter of
a million dollars from his employer,
the Farmers Loan & Trust Company
When caught by detectives, Foye
had in his possession q certified check
for $97, 900 and currency of SIS 900
which it is believed he had secured
from Charles T. Brown, of Philadel-
phia, bl the sale of stolen securities.
The detectives said Boye had prepar-
eu to sail for Europe.
After spending the night in what
is called the Filthy cell" of the po-
lice station, Foye was taken to police
headquarters this morning. He re-
tanned William T. jerome as coun-
sed. Foye is 35 years old and gained
notoriety several years ago when his
mother caused his arrest for failure
to support her. Foye told the trial
magistrate his mother was unworthy y
of support and that he was sorry she
had borne him. This led to Foy's dis
missal by Gates. Foye, until a few
months ago, was working at SIS per
month clerkins.

DEMOCRATS AGAIN
USE CAUCUS FOR
CURRENCY BILL
Members of Party In
Senate Called
Together.

However, 1t IS Desired to
Settle Party Differences
On The Measure.
WON'T BE BINDING

Washington, ID. C.-The Senate's
democratic caucus today determined
10 have no Christmas recess unless
the administration currency bill is
completed. The caucus agreed to meet
every day from 10 a. m. to IL a. M.
until final action is taken
Washington, d. C.-The CURRENCY
reform struggle was transferred from
the open senate to the closed pre-
cincts of the democratic party eau
Gus. The leaders did not expect the
conference would come to any bind
ing agreement upon support of the
Owen bill as whole. Those sun
porting that bill are determined to
tight out any differences between the
administration forces and the So
called Hitchcock wing Of the party
behind closed doors and to reach a
general understanding that there will
be no wholesale changes in the mea-
sure.
Democrats Order Caucus. 80
Washington, n. sC.-The currency
question took an unexpected turn in
the Senate yesterday, when democra-
tic leaders decided to summon party
conference at once to dispose of the
points of difference and to attempt to
unite party members behind bill
that would have the support of Presi-
dent Wilson.
The conference began at IL today.
1t was said by democratic managers
that its conclusions would not be
binding, but that it was expected the
democrats would be able to agree
upon vital features of the bill and
unite upon amendments to the pend.
ing bill which would be accepted by
the president.
The second days debate upon the
big reform measure~wasrnolab for
the absence of ill-feeling between the
advocates Of the different currency
plans represented by, the Owen and
Hitchcock bills.
Senator Hitchcock held the Senate
for more than an hour with his
speech in support of the bill agreed
upon by himself and the five republi-
cans of the Senate committee. His
remarks were characterized by recog-
milton of the efforts Of the president,
the House and the democratic wing
of the Senate committee and express
sion of the hope that the Senate
WOULD find it possible to unite upon
satisfactory form of the currency
bill
Senator Owen announced early in
The day that he would ask the Senate
to work until 6 O'Clock each night
and to consider the currency measure
at all times when special orders did
not prevent.
Senator Shafroth, one of the demo-
cratic committee members, who help
ed IN the preparation of the Owen
bin followed Senator Hitchcock with
a comprehensive explanation of the
problems confronted in trying 10
change the currency system of the
country and an Endorsement of tho.
principles of the Owen bill. He insist
ed that less than eight regional banks
would leave the country without ade-
quate protection in cose of panic, be-
cause of the inability of remote coun-
try banks to get money quickly from
the reserve banks.

President OF Regents
Proposes Change In
School System.


/ Abolition of NIie office of superin-
itendent of public instruction is advo-
Gated in an open letter sent today
/ by President A. +. Hitchcock, of the
board of regents, to President E. c..
, Perisho of the State Educational as
! sociation, now in session at Sioux
Fails. The letter was sent becouse of
Mr.. Hitchcock s. inability TO be pres
ent and appear On the convention pro-
gram this Afternoon.
Regent Hitchcock would have EN-.
bodied in his address to the associa-
| tion Il suggestion as to the future
organization of the governing board
of the state in educational institu-
tions, as a vital force in the deyel-
opment of the educational work of
South Dakota, in the following lang
uage:
The cause of the rural school is
the work of tie entire educational
force of the state. To coordinate
these educational forces a stronger
organization to .irect the education
!al work should be perfected As out
lined by law, the organization of the
regents board is thoroughly sound.
Largely by reason of the separation
|of the institutions geographically
and the strengtt OF the local senti-
ment of each institution urging indi
vidual development without regard
to coordination, the work of the pre-
sent board does not result in the
general development of the state
work to its full extent.
ITO strengthen this organization
! propose constitutional amendment
abolishing the office of the state
superintendent, creating an educa-
'tional board Of three members, which
shall devote their entire time to of
ficial duty, with adequate salaries,
creating the office of commissioner
of education or chancellor of educa-
tion and placing the entire school sys-
TEN of the state under this board and
executive officer. This organization
would include mill levy tax without
the intervention of appropriation by
the state legislature. This suggestion
follows in geenral character, the or
g&nization of the state of New York. y

MORE THAN BIG CROPS
MUST BE TAUGHT STATE

Sioux Falls. S. -"Agriculture in
the public schools must go deeper
than bigger crops said Doctor A. N.
Hume of the State College here be-
fore the State Teachers association,
in presenting his paper on The
Spirit of Agriculture in Education"
"a dollar diplomat will never
make anything more than fool of
himself posing as an educator of the
people of the farms. Dollar diplomacy
has vote in educational affairs, just
one vote, and that vote is qualifica-
ton.
I'm order to introduce agriculture
into the public schools, it's subject
matter must necessarily have ped
agogical standing. 1t must increasing
ly become a subject requiring down
right study and hard work. School
people should see to it that agricul-
ture shall take the same pedagogical
standing as any other subject in the
curriculum along with other sub
jects."
DR.. Hume warned against aping
some of the industrial features of the
European system of teaching agricul-
ture in the trade schools, system
which by segregating agricultural
schools from general schools tends
to peasantize the farmers.
"Whatever system of educating we
shall adopt in South Dakota" he
said, "let us have a system leading
in the direction, not merely of more
skilful workers on the farm, but in
the direction of full fledged, cos
mopolitan citizenship on the farms. ="
DR. Hume stated that country
schools in South Dakota are not en-
tirely adequate because they do not
offer country boys and girls the same
high school privileges that are offer
ed city and town children. One of the
reasons for this inadequacy, he said,
| is the fact that country people have
not demanded such schools. The
Farmers have not mustered together
enough votes to pass in the legisla-
| ture bills TO establish consolidated
high schools within reach of country
homes AS an example of what might
pe done in the way of consolidating
rural schools, DR.. Hume sailed at
tention to the John Swaney School in
Putnam county, Illinois and Cole
brook academy in New Hampshire.
but the time is coming" he con-
cluded. when South Dakota schools
will be made measurably adequate
When the state will supply the
schools with the newest and most
necessary information about agricul
ture problems by means of the state
experiment station, the people viii
then have done their duty in adopting
such a system. The state can neithel
shirk the responsibility nor shift it
Ut can neither delegate it to corpora

ONE IDEA OF PHILANTHROPY
Carmen Sylvia Says If She Had a
Million She Would Build Vast
Cathedral.

What curious ideas some people
have on the subject of philanthropy
Carmene Sylvia, queen Of Roumania, is
the latest to answer that ancient
question, What would you do II you
were millionaire" She would build
a vast cathedral with chapels in IT
for every religion, and she would also
build an art school. AS 1t is only a
very small minority of people who
ever go to church or chapel, and those
that do go are usually of the more
comfortable classes, it is to be feared
that Carmen Sylva's million would not
go very far to lessen human misery.
Most people have asked themselves
what they would do If they were mil
lionaires, but the wiser among them
have contented themselves with say
ing what they would not do. A reso-
luton to give nothing to any religious
or charitable organizations, with a
very few exceptions, Is a fairly safe
