Aberdeen, s. D., July 21.--The I. w.

the men arrested Saturday night have
been realised except a half dozen OF
the leaders who will be given a hearing

The attitude Of the authorities toward

onto property owned by Constable
Stickney and he told them to stay there
as they were violating no law. The
officers attempted to drive them off
and Stickney interfered. He told them
unless they had warrant the men
would stay where they were. When
the officers insisted stickney drew two
guns and held them at bay.

KING OF ENGLAND
CALLS STATESMEN

London, July 21.--Premier Asduith,
at the opening of the house OF com
mons today, announced that King
George "in view of the grave political
situation, has considered II right to
summon conference of the represent
tatiyes of the political parties, both
British and Irish, to discuss the out
standing points of the problem OF Irish
government"
The premier added that the Right
Hon. James Lowther, speaker Of the
house of commons, would at his ma
Jesty's request, preside over the con-
ference. III

mier Asquith said he would not ask
the house to discuss today. the bill to

The invitations TO the conference
have been accepted by two represen-
tatives Of the regular opposition Of the
Ulster unionists of the Irish nation
alists and of the government.
Premier Asquith said he hoped thu
meetings of the conference would begin
tomorrow. M.,a
Andrew Bonar Law, leader of the OPP
position, on it's behalf remarked that
1t had Loyalty accepted the command
of his majesty"
John Redmond, leader of the Irish
nationalists, scarcely appeared to re-
gard the proposed conference as at
tPactive. He said:
My colleagues and myself take no
responsibility for the policy of calling
this convention, and / don't think am
called on to express an opinion as to
whether the result will prove useful
or the contrary. The invitation came
to John Dillon and myself in the form
of a command from the king and as
such we at once obeyed it."
Lawrence GinnelI, a nationalist
member, interjected a warning note in
the otherwise peaceful interlude by
asking IL there was any precedent for
the premier advising the king to place
himself at the head Of a conspiracy to
defeate the wishes Of the house."
The question was ignored and the
house then proceeded with other bust
ness.

Aberdeen, S. d., July 20. Because
the secretary of the Aberdeen 1Com-

local papers advising farmers not to
pay more than $3.50 to harvest hands,
this city had an exciting experience
with a large gang OF tramps and labor

themselves to hold out for So day.
The ]. w. W. agitators attempted to
hold street meetings here to work up
a general hold-out of harvest hands,
and about 20 Of the leaders were
thrown into jail. Following this action
a large mob of the itinerants gathered
with the threat to storm the city and
release their fellows. .E#
Police Commissioner Lynch put a
large force of special deputies in COM
mission, many Of them members of the
local military company. and the L. w.
w. crowd was held in restraint. Trains
were stopped outside the city and in
coming hoboes were chased from the
trains and ordered not to come into
this city. Many of them headed out
into the country district in search Of
work, while others headed for towns
less militantly arrayed against their

Among those melting the transients
to acts OF violence were two women,
giving their names as Katy Solomon

surance department proposes to strict
Iy enforce a legislative enactment of
1911 in regard to threshers fling Sc
curity for losses from fire which may
be started by their machines The law
requires thresher operators to secure
and file either a bond in the sum OF
$500 or an insurance policy I'm some
authorized insurance company. Such
surety against loss Is to be filed with
the clerk of courts in the county in
which the operator resides, in case he
is resident OF the state or with the
state auditor in case OF a nonresident
The department holds that failure o.
refusal on the part of threshing ma
chine operators to file this security
leaves them without any standing in
court in an effort to collect on a thresh-
ing bill. The. penalty for failing or re-
fusing to file such security Is fixed at
5000. The department announces thar
1t will prosecute any violations brought
to its attention. 49,.

South Dakota exhibit at the Panama
exposition in San Francisco next year.
Succeeding the appointment last
Thursday by Gov. Frank M. Byrne, OF
a voluntary commission to decide as
to the showing and arrangement Of o
possible state exhibit, 1t was revealed
that plans concerning the proposed eX-
hibit included consideration OF the
erection of a corn palace as the official
state building. The expense OF such a
structure would be far less than thai
Of one designed along customary lines
For this reason, the adoption of this
feature for an exhibit is deemed es-
specially advisable, inasmuch as the
state Legislature refused to appropriate
funds for the expense Of an exhibit
The cooperation OF several state COM
mercial clubs has been assured for
support Of the state exhibit project.

EDISON'S HOUSE SCHEME

Mitchell. s. D., July, 1S.-Thomas
Edisons famous theory about cheap
way to construct concrete houses has
been worked out by a Mitchell man,
III. T. Frost. This city claims the
distinction OF possessing the only house
In the United States constructed by
means Of a set OF concrete forms
Mr.. Frost has invented sysem OF
frames that can be handled easily and
at the same time have the advantage OF
leaving a continuous dead air space in
the middle OF the wall. This advantage
in itself is great feature In that IL
eliminates the nuisance and danger OF
moisture. sweat and frost getting into
the walls of the house, which caused
the failure OF the Edison invention.
The Mitchell inventor has obtained
"a patent upon set OF forms which
builds a hollow wall, reinforced horf-
zontally. perpendicularly and also ties
the walls together. At the same time
the forms can be adjusted to build any
size house, make any thickness OF wall
and also leave the door and window
openings any size
1t is upon these lines that Mr.. Frost's
residence in Mitchell has been con-
structed and the place is now ready for
occupancy. .,,

RAILWAYS TO WIN
PARTIAL VICTORY

Washington. July 21.-Though the
Interstate Commerce commission is in
conference today, still wrestling with
the advanced rate case, a decision is
expected this week ..a.
While many rumors are current COM
corning the decision, some OF them abb
surd, the best information is the com
mission will recognize that railroad
revenues are inadequate.
Some increases on class rates are ex-
pected and the commission will read
the roads lecture on economy. II the
inadequency Of the railroad revenues
is recognised, as appears probable, this
will be a partial railroad victory.
Commissioner Thorne, for western
shippers, has steadfastly contended and
ably demonstrated that the revenues
are adequate. Once the commission
holds otherwise, shippers and the pub
lie will be confronted with the PROS
pect OF sure increases in freight bills
though the process of boosting them
may be gradual r..

Seven Cases and Three Deaths
in New Orleans Cause
Renewed Efforts.

New Orleans. La. July 21.---A second
letter addressed by Oscar Bowling,
president OF the state board OF health.
to the mayors OF Louisiana cities and
towns, further urges the necessity for
a statewide cleanup campaign for the
prevention Of bubonic plague The de-
struction OF all trash, the use OF sani-
tary garbage cans and campaign OF
rat determination are urged. With a
total OF seven plague cases and three
deaths in New Orleans to date, fed
eral, state and city health authorities
this week viii vigorously continue their
fight for the eradication OF the con-
tagion here. 1t is expected that the
daily rat catch OF about 1000 will Ne
increased before the end OF the week,
as additional traps are being placed
and the force at work in the field is
becoming more expert under the tutel-
age Of a corps Of rat catchers from San
Francisco.
A proposed excursion from New Or
leans to Pensacola August was can
celed by the Louisville a. Nashville
railroad because Pensacola health
authorities feared bubonic plague
might be introduced from New
Orleans. DIR. w, G. Rucker, fed
eral assistant surgeon general in
charge Of the plague eradication work
here, assured the Pensacola authori-
ties there was no danger, but without
avail.
Helen soelI, the 1o-year-old child
who developed the plague Saturday,
is dangerously III. She responded fa-
vorably TO treatment yesterday, but
her case took turn for the worse to-
day.
The educational campaign was fea-
tured today by a meeting at the cot
ton exchange to take place after the
market closed this afternoon.
