POPULAR DIPLOMATIC
REPRESENTATIVE DIES

London, May 19.-Gloom has beer
cast over 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 was almost as well known
as in London, on account Of his bril-
liant after dinner speeches.
Mr.. Griffiths was one 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 han any other man during
the same period of time. He was a
most prolific writer and he sent very
extensive reports to the state depart
ment at Washington while he still had
time to do considerable literary work.

GOVERNOR FILES HIS

fore Participation in Liber-
al State Aid Fund.

Pierre, S. D., May 20,-South Dakota
h entitled to $4,000 each year from
the government, as a cooperative fund
Tor use or 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 this work shall
be carried on in such m as may
be mutually agreed upon by the secre-
tary Of agriculture and the state ag-
ricuItural college Or colleges receiving
the benefits OF this act"
The government requires each state
which IL entitled to this fund to give
Its assent to the donation Of this $l0,-
900 yearly. The assent must be given
by a legislature, II in session; other
wise by the governor in a formal
statement. Governor Byrne Is send
Ing his assent TO reach the secretary OF
agriculture before July, as Is demanded
by the government.
At the and OF the first year the APP
preparation for all states Is increased
by an additional 100000. and for each
year thereafter, for seven years, a sum
OF 100000 exceeding that OF the pre-
vtous year is added. and thereafter a
sum Of 81 100, 900 is appropriated an
nually for this speciaI extension work.
For a state to secure any OF these
bQulIlOndl LuuuS, IN eACSSS VI lHS pSi-
manent $4,000 per annum, II Is neces-
sary for the state to provide an equal
sum for the agricultural extension
work. The $4,000 annually, however,
does not have to be equalled by the
state. The additional sums are ap-
portioned in each state by the secretary
OF agriculture In the proportion which
the rural population of each state
bears to the total rural population OF
all states. az determined NV the last

population Is a little more than / per

VICTIMS OF OCEAN
DISASTER RESCUED

Halifax. N. s., May 19.-The United
States ven 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
he men Is serious, but it is believed
they will live. They had been adrift
in an open boat 13 days. @.@h4.
o. A wireless message from Captain
tombstone, of the Seneca, yesterday told
concisely OF the rescue. Little could be
learned today from the exhausted sail
ors of their experience beyond the fact
that they had been tossed Aelplessly
by the seas since May 4 when fire on
the Columbian drove them into their
small boats. There were 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 were 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 the
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. ",.. E y
Day after day the men made des-
perate efforts to attract the attention
of passing ships, On the first two days
three steamers were sighted and for
nearly a week the boat remained di-
rectly In the path of trans Atlantic
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 n OF the is men
