 Atlanta, September 15.-Birmingham al- ready has established it's claim to cham pionship honors in the Southern associa- ton. With four games still to be played before the season closes Thursday, the Barons are leading by five rull games, so the loss of every contest this week would not affect their standing.

POPULAR DIPLOMATIC
REPRESENTATIVE DIES

London, May 1e.-Gloom has been
cast yer the American colony in Lon
don by the death yesterday Of Consul
General John L. Griffiths, who sue
cumbed to heart disease. His death is
deeply regretted not only in the Eng
lish country, but throughout the coun-
try where he vas almost as well known
as in London, OF account of his brill
liant after dinner speeches.
Mr.. Griffiths was n Of the most
popular American officials who had
held office in England. The reputa-
ton he won during his occupancy Of
the American consulate in Liverpool
for his close attention to the duties of
his office. as well as for his good fell
lowship, was fully maintained by him
while he was in London.
Consul General Griffiths was the
most sought after speaker in London
and he certainly delivered more
speeches and addresses after his arrival
here in 1909 than n other man during
the same period of time. He was a
most prolific writer and he sem very
extensive reports to the state depart
ment at Washington while he still had
time to do considerable literary work.

FILES HIS
ASSENT FOR Federal
AGRICULTURAL Slice
Formal Action Necessary Be-
fore Participation in Liber-
al State Aid Fund.

Pierre. S. d. May ~20-SoTth Dakota
Is. entitled to $lG,000 each year from
The government, as a cooperative fund
Tor use CT the agricultural college in
giving instruction and practical DEM
onstrations in agriculture and home
economics to persons not attending or
resident in said colleges in the sew
eral communities, and his work shall
be carried on in sue name as may
be mutually agreed upon by the secre-
tary of agriculture and h state ag-
ricultural college or colleges receiving
the benefits OF this act"
The government requires each state
which is entitled to this fund to give
Its assent &c the donation of this $40
600 yearly. The assent must be given
By & legislature. II in sessions; other
wise by the governor in s. formal
Ing his assent to reach the secretary Of
agriculture before July. as is demanded
by the government.
At HI end of the first yea the APP
preparation for all states is Increased
by an additional 100000, and for each
year thereafter, for seven Years, a sum
of $500. 900 exceeding that of the pre-
sum of S4,100, 00e IS appropriated an
nually for this special extension work.
For a state to secure any of these
additional funds, in excess of the per-
manent $4,000 per annum, il Is neces-
sary for the state to provide an equal
sum for the agricultural extension
work. The $40, 600 annually, however.
does not have to be equalled by the
state. The additional sums are ap-
portioned in each state ny the secretary
of agriculture in the proportion which
the rural population OF Zach state
bears to the total rurai population OF
all states, as determined by the last
federal census. South Dakotas rural
population is a little more thar / per
cent of that OF the United States. so
that OF the first years appropriation
of 100000. in addition 10 the $4,000.
we could get u little more thar $4,000.
and thereafter about s+1 600 annually
Ii the state appropriated a like sum.
South Dakota's rural population is
5o7.215, and that of the United States
4a.S4S,SS3. South Dakota's rural pop
uiation is S6.e OF the entire state pop
ulation.

VICTIMS OF OCEAN
DISASTER RESCUED

Halifax, N. S., May 19.-The United
states revenue cutter Seneca arrived
here today with the -four survivors of
the burned steamer Columbian, whom
she picked up from their small boat 40
miles south Of Sable Island at 10 O'Clock
yesterday morning. The condition Of
the men is serious, but it is believed
they will live. They had been adrift
in an open BOAT IS days.
A wireless message from Captain
tombstone, of the Seneca, yesterday told
conclSely of the rescue. Little could be
learned today from the exhausted sail
ors of their experience beyond the fact
thai they had been tossed helplessly
by the seas since May 4 when fire on
the Columbian drove them into their
small boats. There We're is men in the
craft when they left the Columbian.
Eleven died of hunger and exposure
and the four emaciated men taken
aboard the revenue cutter We're almost
unconscious.
The men in the life boat, had left
their ship SO hurriedly there was no
opportunity to supplement the life
boats usual store of water and biscuit.
A single cask of water, slowed in he
stern, was soon exhausted, but rain
fell and the men suffered less from
thirst than from hunger. One hundred
pounds of hard tack furnished their
only food. This was used UP the first
week.
Day after day the men made des-
perate efforts to attract the attention
of passing ships. On the first two days
three steamers We're sighted and for
nearly a week the boat remained di-
rectly in the path of transatlantic
traffic, but none saw them.
With hope of rescue fast vanishing,
the men lost courage.
One week from the day they left the
ship the last of the bread crumbs were
eaten. On that day one of the Is men
died. Some of the men drank salt wa
ter n one of them became insane
and soon afterward died.
one by one the men gave up until
only five remained. Peter Triel died
as aid was in sight.
