IS GETTING
BARGAIN She finds
Subjects Who Have Settled in
America Send Home Mil
lions Annually.

st. Petersburg, Russia, July 20
Russia is about to recognize as legiti-
mate the emigration OF her surplus
millions to countries other than those
IN Europe, and the ministry of COM
merce today submitted to the cabinet
a bill to abolish some of the penalties
hitherto attaching to unauthorized
migration. The bill in its preamble
specially refers to the 2S1, 900 emigrants
from Russia to America last year and
also to the fact that $50, 600, 900 was re-
mitted to Russia in 1918 by Russian
subjects, who have settled on the 9TH
er side of the Atlantic.
In place of the expensive passports,
which heretofore AVE been necessary
to everybody desiring to depart from
Russia, permits will be issued at the
cost Of only 10 cents in future.
The fine of $3.50 half yearly until
now inflicted o a%osentees who have
been more than six months abroad, is
to be abolished in the case of those re-
turning on board Russian steamers.
The bill also provides for the es-
adjustment of a fund to assist emil
grants in Russian ports and abroad
and for the appointment of a special
commission to defend their interests in
foreign countries.
Emigration agents by one clause Of
the bill are made liable to imprison-
ment for holding u false induce
ments to emigrants.

COLORADO MINERS REPLY
T0BRlEFO OF OPERATORS

Washington, July 20.-Another brief
in h congressional investigation of
the Colorado coal strike was filed to-
day with the House mines committee,
by E.P. Costigan. James H. Brewster
and Horace N. Hawkins, representing
the striking miners. 1t was a volumi-
nous reply to a brief submitted some
time ago by representatives Of the op-
orators.
Counsel for the miners declared the
operators brief was a series of what
we must necessarily call "m~isstate-
statements of fact and law"
The miners brief confined a long le-
gal argument to show that decisions of
various courts had not held the United
Mine Workers of America to be an "un-
lawful organization" The brief also
attacked figures submitted by the OPP
orators as to production. cost Of labor,
wages. and other details of operation
and characterized as utterly unrelt-
able" the statements by counsel for the
operators. -
The brief filed today is expected to
close the Investigation and the COM
mittee will at once begin work or q
report to the House.

STATE MAY INTERVENE -
In DISSOLUTION SUIT

Washington, July 2o.-The New
Haven railroad case assumed a new
aspect today when it became known
here that the state of Massachusetts
may seek to intervene after the gov
ernment's Sherman law suit to dis
solve the system is brought and ask
the courts to force the New Haven to
make a conditional sale of its Boston
4 Maine stock. Massachusetts now
has the right to buy the stock at any
time. In recent legislation it preserved
that right n gave permission to the
New Haven to sell.
The New Haven board of directors
refused to accept that legislation and
now Massachusetts is understood to
be fearful lest that right be endangered
In the proposed litigation. 1t is feared
that if the government win it's case
the court might merely order the sale
Of the New Ravens Boston & Maine
stock without restrictions. If Massa-
chusetts interviewed it would be merely
for the purpose of preserving it's right
Of purchase. Attorney General Nc

MCCLELLAN
NEVER SAW SERVICE
IN Philippine WAR
Former District Commander and
Prominent Worker 0usted
From Association.

Lead, s. D., July 20.-George D. Nc
Clellan, prominently mentioned for APP
pointment as state mine inspector two
years ago, has been dropped from the
association OF Spanish War veterans on
the investigations OF a local committee,
which claims that he never served In
that conflict. He did serve as a mem
Der of the regular army, stationed at
Fort Meade. and received a regular
government discharge. The indorse-
ment on his discharge purportng to
show Philippine Service is declared to
be a forgery.
He was at one time commander Of
the local camp of Spanish War veter-
ans and later district department COM
mander for the state.
Mcclellan claimed that he served
with a company from Anaconda. Mont,
and still contends that he will be ahlc
to show such a record. When, the
roster of the Anaconda company was
found n to contain the name McClel-
Ian, he said hat he had enlisted under
the name Of McCullom. on account OF
being at that time under age. It was
found that the McCullom on the list is
ssttll living al Fort Meade. The war
department officials state that Nc
IClellan never served in the army any
place except at Fort Meade.

was instituted here today il behalf of
certain minority stock holders Of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
railroad against directors of the road
and the corporation, to compel them to
answer charges Of maladministration
n misuse of funds.

Boston, which demanded restitution of
SSO6, 900, 900 of which more than 500, O00,-
600 was alleged to have been misused.
One of the two claims made asks that
the individual defendants be compelled

p~ropriated and all profits where re-
ceived by reason of unlawful acts"
The second claim asked that the de-
fendants be enjoined from further

and will accept the nomination. He
has stated that he will accept il the
selection meets with the general D

SOUTH DAkoTAN PERFEcTs
EDISON'S HOUSE SCHEME

Mitchell. S. D., July 1S.-Thomas
Edison's famous theory about a cheap
way to construct concrete houses has
been worked out by q Mitchell man,
II. 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 a 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 eff the wall. This ADVANTAGE
In itself Is a great feature in that it
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 a set Of forms which
builds a hollow wall, reinforced hori-
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.
It is upon these lines that Mr.. Frost's
residence in Mitchell has been con-
structed and the place is now ready for
occupancy.

Pierre, S. D., July 1s.-A terrific
hail storm at Van Metre, 80 miles west,
last evening battered windows out of
the coach Of the mixed train at that
place. Windows were smashed and
crops battered in that vicinity, the
ground being white for several miles
his side OF Van Metre along the rail-
way.
Deadwood, S. D., July 1S.-Reports
from the agricultural districts in and
that there Is serious danger of crop
failure unless rain comes within the
next few days. With the exception of
n shower IN the Black Hills, there
has been no rain for more than two
weeks, and this, added to The pre-
valence of hot winds, has resulted in
burning up the growing crops in sew
eral districts. The worst condition
lists in northeastern Wyoming and in
the district between Buffalo Gap, S. D.,
and Chadron, Neb.
Aberdeen. S. D., July 1s.-The
mercury hit 9S here yesterday breaking
all records for the season. The day
was extremely muggy. Showers in the
evening brought some relief. There
were no pr%ostrations.
Sioux Falls, S. D., July 1S.-The hot
weather of the past week has pushed
small grain throughout South Dakota
to maturity very rapidly, and harvest
ing operations as a result have come
on with a rush.
Many fields of early small grain
were harvested last week, but this
week, because of the hot days and the
rapid ripening of grain, harvesting is
becoming general throughout the
greater part Of the southern section,
and Is commencing in the northern
portion.
In some sections Of the central part
of the state small grain was injured to
some extent by the excessively hot
weather. especially of last Saturday,
when the temperature reached 100 de-
grees in the shade.
The crop of small grain in the state
in general will be one of the larges,
ever produced.
Corn continues to make rapid growth
and now is about three weeks in adj
vance of its customary growth at this
time.
Pierre, s. D.. July 1S.-While there is a
shortage of harvest help in this part Of
the state, the demand for men being
greater than the supply Of those who will
actually work, the harvest work is being
pushed. Winter rye and oats are mostly
harvested and the cutting of winter wheat
Is under way. Spring wheat is not quite
ready for cutting and farmers profess to
believe that the hot weather is not injur.
Ing the crop to any great extent. Corn
Is in fine shape, n the hay harvest Is
furnishing the heaviest crop of wild hay
which has been grown in this part of the
state for several years.
