STATE COLLEGE DOUBLES

The State College has almost
doubled in equipment, cost of build
ings, and the number of faculty and
students during the past six years, ac-
Sioux Falls, before the college convo-
cation last week. He stated that "as
a matter of fact there were fifty per
cent more students here last year
than there were three years ago. From
the report of your able secretary, r. A.
Larson, we see that the college has to
its credit receipts from one hundred
and fifty odd thousand acres of land.
The total expenditures for the year
were $237,474.O4. We have received
from the United States Government an
additional $4,000. 90 to be Used in farm
extension work.
THE following is the value of the
State College property: $50 acres of
campus, horticultural grounds and
farm, 5 5000; lots containing girls
dormitory and presidents house,
$4,000; buildings and equipment, 1876
1880; totaling practically a half mil
lion dollars. The State of South Da'
kota has made this great investment
and is spending nearly a quarter of a
million dollars annually so that the
young men and women of this com
monwealth may become well educated
and good citizens of the republic"
Regent Dwight compared conditions
here to what they are in warning
Europe. 1--WE ought to thank God" he
said, that we are living under thu
American flag. Just think-the fathers
and mothers of two-thirds of the civil
lied world are today not thinking o.
sending their boys to college; rather
they are thinking of sending them out
on the firing line to almost certain
death. Did you ever realize that to
two-thirds Of the civilized human race
every day is now a day of tragedy, and
that every night is a dream of horror
why isn't America engaged in this
war? Because our ideals are differ
ent. We have a healthy public senti'
ment. The German boys ideal is
Frederick the Great. But do you sup
pose we would swop Col. Goethals fol-
General Joffre, or Theodore Roosevelt
for Emperor William? It Is I'D to
you college men and women to foster
the right sort of public opinion and
thereby decide what sort of an Amer.
lea we will have"

INQUEST INTO DEATH
 OF BALLOU RESUMED
Expected Coroner Will Ad. init Mrs. Helen Angle
 to Bail.

Stamford, July 20.-The inquest
 into the mysterious death of Waldo
 H. Ballou, on June 23, was resumed
 by Coroner John J. Phelan of Bridge port today, and the expectation was that it would be concluded. The cor and for the time being it was further expected he would allow Mrs. Helen M Angle, who is held as a material witness to be admitted to bail in or der that she may be taken to some insane retreat and given treatment for nervous collapse.
 Mrs. Angle was more composed than on Saturday when she had another at- tack of acute hysteria. Her counsel, Judge N. C. Downs, prior to coroner's resumption of his inquiry, had not changed his position of declining to have his client give testimony. The coroner expected to have the final re- port of Dr. Bruce F. Weaver on stains found in Mrs. Angles , apartments The analysis in some instances, 1t is understood, will show that those ytains do not contain blood crystals Another witness who will be called will be Patrick Rabbit, who had made a statement that he heard body fall downstairs on the other side of the partition, his room being in an apartment adjoining the stair case down which Mrs. Angle claims Ballou fell
 Elimination of the body of BaIlou. at Winchendon, Mass, it is under stood was by consent of a son, the object being to determine exactly the nature of the wounds in the head | and for comparison of the marks on | the forehead with the indentations in straw hat.

ROBINSON FACING @
 MURDER CHARGE
Jury Being Selected to Try Alleged Slayer of Boston Police
 Inspector.

Boston, July 20.-A special venire was to be chosen the jury to hear the evidence in. the trial, beginning today, of Lawrence Robinson, charged with the murder of Thomas J. Nor ton, a police inspector. Arrange ments were made to handle large crowd of spectators. 5
 Robinson, who was wanted in Grand Rapids, Mich., on charges of murder and jewelry robbery, is al- legged to have shot Norton when the latter with several other inspectors surrounded him in the Boylston Cafe on the afternoon of June 19. Rob- inson was seated at a table with Jo- seph Buddy of Pittsburg. number of shots were fired. Robinson him. self was wounded and Buddy was ar rested for complicity in the affair. Buddy will be given a separate trial
 Henry J. Homrich of Huntington, w Va, brought suit today to secure possession of about $15,000 worth of diamonds and jewelry taken from Robinson and Buddy when they were arrested. Homrich claims to have identified much of the jeWelry as hav- ing been stolen from his store in March. He also asks that the court order $S61 in cash found on the two men turned over to him as represent ing proceeds of the sale of some of his property.
 Unusual precautions to prevent demonstrations during Robinson's trial were taken by county author ities. Officers refused to admit any one to the court room without iden- tification and plans were made to keep the prisoner in charge of an armed guard day and night.
 These precautions are said to have been decided upon as a result of in- formation which reached District At torney Pelletier and Sheriff Quinn re- garding any possibility of the presence in the city of western friends of the defendant.

MRS. ARTHUR F. CONNOR
 IN CRITICAL CONDITION
Overdose of Opiate May Have Been Taken In
 tentiOnally.
mE.CAlllAUx

Lying at the New Britain General hospital in a critical condition is Mrs. Arthur Connor, of 39 Harvard street, wife of ex-Officer Arthur F. Connor, the victim of an overdose of some deadly poison Whether or not the woman took it Intentionally is not known. However, it is thought, and the evidence bears out the theory. that she had made a willful attempt to take her own life. At late hour this afternoon Mrs. ConnOr was still in an unconscious condition at the hospital.
 Mrs. Connor has been boarding with a Mrs. Sharpe, at 39 Harvard street, and last night the latter telephoned for Dr. D. w. O'Connell, stating that her boarder was i'll. The physician found Mrs. Connor lying in a coma, brought on by an overdose of some opiate, but after administering stimu- lants she apparently rallied. This morning her condition was much inn proved and it is understood that she was able to be up and about the house.
 However, shortly after II o'clock this morning Dr. O'Connell was again called to the Harvard street residence and found that Mrs. Connor had taken another dose of the poison and from her condition it was evident that she had taken a much larger dose than she did last night. She was un- conscious and did not respond readily to the restoratives administered. on the advice of pr. O'Connen she was removed to the hospital. At press time the patient had not regained consciousness.
 TAis case is a. peculiar one and while appearances are that the un- fortunate woman has made an at tempt on her life, it may be that IL was unintentional, as the attending physician states that she has been ad- dicted to the drug habit for some time.
 At the hospital it has not been definitely determined just what sort of poison Mrs. Connor did take, but they are certain that it was some sort of drug with opium as one of the ingredients As she was brought to the hospital unattended and as none | of her friends had been seen at late ! hour much mystery still shrouds the | whole affair .N

HELD WITHOUT BONDS.
Bridgeport Man Arrested in Connec- tion With Drowning of Companions.

Fairfield, July 20.-Pending the investigation of the coroner, the case of Louis Kanaki of Bridgeport, arr rested in connection with the drown Ing of Steven Vargo and Paul Aurlich also of that city, off the Penfield light yesterday, was continued when it came up before Justice Bacon Wakeman here today. The three men went out fishing yesterday. all having been drinking, it is said. When the party first attracted atten- ton, according to witnesses, Kanaki was standing in the boat apparently striking with an oar at his two com panions who were struggling in the water.
 Before help could reach them the two struggling men sank, and Kama Xii started to row away from the spot. He was intercepted, arrested and giv- an a preliminary hearing before justice of the peace last night and held for further proceedings today. The continuance was granted to await the result of the coroners action and meantime Kanaki is held without bonds.

DEAD GIRLS HAIR
 DIFFERENT COLOR
Dr. Winters Says Body .Ex- humed in Illinois Is Not
 His Daughters.

Chicago, July 20.-Detectives to- the body of Catherine Winters in the Potter's field at Urbana, H., but Dr. I William A. Winters of Newcastle, Ind, father of the child who dis l appeared in March, 1913, said the 1 hair of the dead girl did not cor 1 respond with that of his daughter. 1T don't think she was my little girl" asserted pr. Winters over the long distance telephone.
 1 My girl had brown hair,' Dr. Win- ters said, while the little girl whose body they exhumed has very light blonde hair I don't believe it is she" i've been treated so badly by these tin star detectives that I take very little faith in their discoveries any more There's no use of my go- ing to Champaign but I have sent an officer over there just to make sure," pr. Winters added.
 Its another plot to ruin my char acter," Dr. Winters said. Why these detectives even went around town this morning trying to get the neigh bors to swear that my little girl had blonde hair. Everybody who knew her knows that she had brown hair"
 Katherine Winters disappeared March 20, 1913.
 Every detail of the descrip- tion of the. missing nine-year-old daughter of Dr. William A. Win- ters, a dentist of Newcastle, Ind, tal- lied with that of the body, it was rumored The clothing she wore on the day she disappeared also was identified, it was said.
 It is alleged that the body lay for thirteen months in the receiving vault of the cemetery and then was bur- fed unclaimed in the potter's field
 Private detectives who arrived in Urbana two days ago told the cor oner, J. J. Hanmore and Sheriff Davis, that they had traced the body of Catherine Winters to Florida and thence to Champaign, where 1t had been buried. Theodore Brown, sex ton of the cemetery, told the detec- lives he could identify the stranger who brought the body to Champaign and he and the two men left imme- diately for Newcastle.
 When the body was first brought to Urbana in April, 1913, it was given to Guy Stewart, an undertaken. .He told me to take, care of it for a few days and have it placed in a re- ceiving vault and that some one would be along to claim it," said Stewart.
 The body remained in the receiv- ing vault for thirteen months, but no one came to claim it. Two months ago it was buried.
 The detectives stated that the man who was transporting the box reg istered at various places
