Frances 3. Harrison, wife of the gov
ernor general of the Philippines.
The Siberia left Nagasaki bound

the japanese coast picked up dis
tress signals sent from the Siberia's
wireless TO the American battleship,
Minnesota, which was on the way to
Nagasakl. The Siberia was in COM
munication also with the British
cruiser, Miniature.

ambassador to Japan, as soon as ne

requested the Japanese foreign office
to send a warship to its aid. He was
informed that the government, al

Efforts to bring representatives of

several weeks ago the men made
twenty-four demands which were
later reduced to seven. Further dis
cussion of the points at issue cut this
number to three and on these the
operators would not yield.

FOUR DAYS HELPLESS AND
O WITH BROKEN LEG

White Lake, S. dying for four
days in her home with a broken leg
and unable to summon help or to
reach food or water, was the exper-
fence of Mrs. Dethlefs, a woman
nearly 80 years of age. living sew
enteen miles north of this place. The
daughter. who, lived with her mother
had been absent for some time TAX
ing treatment for a badly sprained
arm. Wednesday night, in the dark
ness, Mrs. Dethlefs stepped through
a trap door which she had neglected
to close after coming from the cell
lar, where she had taken refuge from
a threatening windstorm. Although
suffering from a leg broken above the
knee in the fall, Mrs. Dethlefs man
aged to crawl from the cellar, but
had no way of letting anyone know
of her situation, as the house had
no telephone and was invisible from
the unfrequented road. Sunday noon
the daughter, returning, found her
mother several rods from the house,
where she had crawled to drink from
a basin partly filled by the rains. 1t
is not thought that Mrs. Dethlefs will
recover.

COURTS REASONING IN
ABERDEEN HEALTH CASE

Pierre, S. DIN the East of John
II. Stretch Is. Board of Education of
the City of Aberdeen, the supreme
court in an opinion by Whiting,
holds in substance. that the police
power for the protection of health is
not confined to literal legislative pro-
visions, but is intended to be effective
and would be a requirement at one
point and under certain conditions
would be a hardship at other points
and under different conditions, and
must be construed to meet ever
changing views upon this subject. 1t
is held that the regulations which
were considered proper a few years
ago may not be considered at all so
at this day, and what is considered
proper at the present may be discard
ed at any time, and different regula-
lions become a necessity.
The appellant contended in this
case that such physical examinations
as were demanded by the School
Board of Aberdeen may result in
such mental suggestions of diseases
as may result in mental disease
germs" The court holds that "if
such examination is a menace to the
health of a child owing tt danger of

SHORTLY WHETHER 1T is AID.

PROPERLY TAN COR.
PORATIONS.

Pierre, S. D.-When Governor
Byrne called upon the state supreme
court for an opinion of that body, or
the judges thereof as to the consti-
tutionality of Chapter GA, Laws of
1907, h express tax laws, he init
mated that unless the court could
give the state relief, a special ses-
sion of the legislature might become
a necessity to relieve a situation in
which the collection of taxes from
corporations would be practically i'm
possible under the holdings of Judge
Sanborn, of the United States court.
The Supreme court in it's statement
yesterday signed by all the judges
declines to take any action, and the
question of the special session is an
open one. 1t is possible that matters
Will be allowed to go through until
the mex regular session, but thai is
not certain.
Governor Byrne will probably de-
eide within a short time as to what
action he will take in the matter. AS
1t stands now the state is 'up against
it" as to the collection of taxes from
express companies, with no POSSIBLE
lily OF getting any action of the state
court on whether or not the law is
constitutional, and practically the
same condition existing in regard to
taxes of other corporations doing
business in the state.

RAINS MAKE PRAIRIE
BIG FLOWER GARDEN

Pierre, S. D.-The heavy rains of
May and June have brought out the
flora of this part of the state as never
before. In some places there are acres
of the scarlet wild geranium, spread
ing out as a vivid carpet in the set
ting of green of the prairie, with the
lower places blue with blue bells and
the spider lily, while the white of
the gumbo lilies spread over other
sections of the prairie, with the GRIM
of the cactus showing among the
other bright hues. The moisture has
also brought out the cultivated flow
ers in profusion, and the showing of
red, white, pink, and yellow roses in
the yards, and the banks of wild ros-
es along the river make truly a pleas
ing sight.
