STATE PRESS OPPOSES
CORRUPT PRACTICES LAW

The Nevada Press Association at
it's midsummer meeting held in
Tonopah, Nevada, August 10. 1914,
| adopted unanimously the following.
| RESOLVED. That the newspaper
publishers of Nevada represented by
this Association are unreservedly OPP
| posed to the so-called Corrupt Prac-
tice Act approved March 81, 1913, in
so far as the act assumes to restrain
the freedom of public discussion of
the character and qualification of
candidates for public office. Without
wish or inclination to eyade any
moral responsibility for statements
published, the inhibitions and pre-
~scriptions, especially those embodied
in section "a of the act in question,
appear to us to exceed in their scope
and severity any restraints ever here
tofore imposed by any state having
a representative government and
more accurately reflects the spirit of
an absolute monarchy. We believe
these provisions to be in %contraven-
ton not only of the Federal con-
stitution, but of the constitution of
Nevada, in their guarantee of a free
press and freedom of speech. We be-
lieve them to be without precedent in
any other state of the Union. except
that state which attempted to pro-
hibit, by law. discussion of measures
pending before its state legislature.
We believe hat in so far a sthe pro-
visions referred TO are involved, that
act could more properly be entitled
the Corrupt Candidates Act"

FOUND GIANTS IN CHINA.
6aidheaded Women Too-Feet Bound
So Tiqht They Were Cut,

Neutrality-suspicious. +. NJ. Ashburn
of the army medical corps has un-
earthed some strange things in China
as a result of his studies OF tropical
diseases. He reports to the war de-
partment that he found three giants
each about eight feet high. Two of
them were gate keepers at a geological
garden, one of them apparently normal
except for his great size, while, says
the major, the other man had a harsh,
resonant, deep bass voice. such as he
had never heard before.
Many baldheaded women attracted
the majors attention, and these wo-
men attempted to hide their badness
"by the use of black paint or stain,
which merely looked dirty"
Major Ashburn discovered a strange
prediction Of the Chinese doctors for
plasters and paste, and he declared ut
Is a rare Chinaman who does not have
a plaster stuck on some part Of his
anatomy" Finally he discovered that
the practice of foot binding to reduce
the size was carried on by the Chinese
women to such an excess as sometimes
to necessitate the amputation OF the
feet.

Eight Treaties Ratified by
United States Senate.
AFFIRMATIVE VOTE LARGE
Opponents Of Policy Overwhelmed by
Supporters and the Few Amend
ments Offered Are Thrown Out by
Decisive Majorities.

Washington, Feb. 23.-Without any
amendment whatever to limit their
scope the senate, by more than a two.
thirds vote, ratified general arbitra.
ton treaties between the United
States and Great Britain, Japan, Italy,
Spain, Norway, Sweden, Portugal and
Switzerland.
Those who opposed arbitration as
a national policy had exhausted their
field for argument in the debate OF
the last two days, while others who
sought to amend the treaties made
their fight and lost by a decisive vote.
Even before the senate began work
1t was announced no amendments
would be pressed. As an argument
against further delay champions OF
the treaties pointed out that to amend
any of the conventions at this time
would be discriminatory. inasmuch as
a similar treaty with France was rati
fed by the senate last summer and
renewed.

ALLEGED FRAUD
Legal Fight Commenced to Re-
cover South Dakota
Ranch

Cham berlain, Feb. 23.-The sale Of
a large quantity of property under
guardianship proceedings while the
owner was confined in an insane asy
lum, from which be now has been re
leased, promises to result in prolonged
litigation and a series of sensational
developments.
The central figure in the case is
James Harkrader, a mysterious strang-
er from Illinois. who several years
ago suddenly appeared in Brule county
and Mt an auction sale bid in what
is known as the Stransky ranch, ada
cent to Pukwana, embracing several
thousand acres and highly improved.
The new owner farmed the ranch for
several seasons.
About a year ago he returned to mis-
former home at Decatur. Ill for a
visit. and while there became involved
in a number of controvt rsies With
former friends, which resulted in his
being arrested and taken before a
board of insanity, which ordered that
be be committed to a hospital for the
insane. Several months age State
Senator Shaw. of Illinois, became in.
terested in the case of Harkrader, and
some days ago succeeded in securing
his release from the asylum.
Harkrader lost no time in engaging
an attorney and coming to South Da-
kota to ascertain what had become of
his extensive property interests in this
state. He discovered that during his
confinement in the asylum a guardian
was appointed, and that the guardian
had disposed of his South Dakota
holdings under the claim that this ac-
ton was necessary to satisfy iudebt-
edness contracted by Harkrader.
During this investigation Harkrader
and his attorney found that the per
sonal property that had been on the
ranch had changed hands several
times since it originally was sold by
the guardian. Much of this personal
property consisted of live stock. From
such few guarded remarks rs himself
and attorney made during their inves-
tigation, il liz expected a suit will be
instituted to have the transfers under
the guardianship set aside on the
ground of fraud.
Harkrader owns a life interest in a
400-acre farm nea Decatur, Ill, and
in addition owns other property in that
state which gives him an annual in.
come OF several thousand dollars.
He has a sister at Decatur who is re-
ported to be worth half a million dol
lars.
