1000 GEESE IN FLOCK.

Oacoma. S. D.-A flock of wild
geese estimated to contain not less
than 1000 birds has remained all
winter along the Missouri river in
this vicinity, this being the first time
in many years that wild geese have
made this vicinity their feeding
grounds SO late in. the winter. AS a
usual thing they disappear from here
and make their way southward the
latter part of November. Hunters
would speedily annihilate the flock
were it not for the fact that this is
the closed season for wild goose
shooting, and those who shoot them
would be subject to- heavy fine.

ROADS KNOCK
OUT THIS LAW
DOUBLE DAMAGE STATUTE ZEN.
ACTED BY SOUTH DAKOTA
LEGISLATURE MADE IN
OPERATIVE BY THE
SUPREME COURT.

South Dakota's double damage law
intended to compel railroads to pay
double damages for stock killed OF
property destroyed by fire starting
fro mtheir engines, was declared UNI
constitutional yesterday by the Unit
ed States supreme court, according to
dispatches from Washington. 1t was
held to be in violation OF the four
teenth amendment of the federal con-
stitntion.
The law was first enacted as a pro-
gressive measure by the legislature of
Governor Byrne was then in the
legislature being largely instrument
al in securing its passage. The object
of the law was to compel railroads to
settle Immediately for losses to farm
ers from fires started by their en-
gines or by the burning of grass or
weeds on their properties. 1t was
pointed out that the railroads fire.
quently refused to pay for the actual
damages done and the farmers did
not accept their offers of partial set
Elements they would be compelled to
go into a long drawn out and eN-
pensive litigation in the courts.
The law gave the railroads 60 days
in which to settle claims and if they
were not paid by that time the per-
son damaged would be entitled to
double damages. The railroads were
protected from unscrupulous persons
by the provision that if a person re-
fused the offered settlement of the
railroads and the court found that
The railroads offered the proper III
cunt for the damages sustained, only
actual damages could be recovered,
but if it was found the railroads did
not offer enough, double damages
could be secured.
To remedy certain technical defects
in the law it was redrafted and pass
cd at the last session of the legisla-
ture. The railroads objected to it's
provisions and carried it to the sup
rene court of the United States,
which now makes it imperative by
declaring it unconstitutional.

WATERFOWL MAsoNs WILL

The Watertown city commissioners
have approved plans for the construc-
tion of fourteen blocks of additional

this will be parked, making the area
necessary to pave smaller than would
otherwise be the case, and at the same
time identifying the city.

ASSESSORS TO BE PAID
FOR ANNUAL MEETINGS

Pierre, s. D.-The attorney gen
erals department holds on inquiry.
That assessors are entitled to com
pensation at the rate of $3.0O per
day for their attendance at the an
nual meetings with the county audi
tor before beginning their assessment
work each spring, such meeting be-
ing n provided for by statute in
section 20S6 OF the Political Code.
II is also held that there is no an
thority of law for counties paying
more than the legal rate of seventy
five cents an inch for county legal
notices in the official papers. This
query was in case where double rate
had been charged for table and rule
work, which is the regular custom
of printers in all offices, but which
the encouragement holds has no
warrant of law so far as county work
is concerned.

FAT-TAILED SHEEP AT
END OF LONG JOURNEY

Hrookines, S. D.-The pen of six
fat-tailed sheep which Professor Han
sen secured in Siberia arrived at
lirookings Friday and were. at once
taken to the state college sheep barn.
While somewhat thin from the long
journey and rough handling. these
sheep stood the h%ardshiDs exceeding
ly well and are in fine physical condi-
ton. According to Professor Wilson,
no other breed OF sheep in the world
could at all withstand the Journey of
ten thousand miles.
These sheep appear to he a trifle
larger than the ordinary breed and
have broad fat tails and high fat
rumps. The pen consists of two rams
and four ewes.

OPPOSES
TOLL EXEMPTIONS
FOR U. S. VESSELS
This Made Known All
ter Conference Last
Night.
TREATY IN ROAD
TREATY IN ROAD
President Considers Exemp-
ton Would Violate Agree
ment With Great Britain.

Washington, ID. C.-That the pre-
sident is opposed to the exemption OF
American coastwise ships from Pana-
ma canal tolls, was flatly asserted at
the capitol today by those who know
what took place at the White House
conference last night between Presi-
dent Wilson and the Senate foreign
relations committee.
The senator's who talked with the
president asserted that Wilson ex-
planned fully his position on the tolls
question; that his views incline to-
ward the contentious of Great Britain
and that the president will make pub
.ic his attitude in the near future.
Several senators expressed sur
prise that in view of the presidents
positive attitude he had not urged
some selection at the extra session of
congress.
Two Ways to Do II.
What the president may recon-
mend is not disclosed in reports of
the White House conference. but it is
suggested that one way would be the
repeal of the exemption provision of
the act. Another would be the pass
age of the Adamson resolution to sus-
pend for two years the operation of
the exemption clause, 20 thus demon
strate whether the canal could be self
sustaining without tolls from the
American ships.
1t is reported the president is not
opposed to toll exemption as such but
that he is strongly of the opinion that
there would be discrimination which
would not agree with the Hay-Paun-
cefote treaty.
May Lift Mexican Embargo
The lifting OF the embargo on arms
from Mexico was also discussed last
night. Some Senators. favored it on.
the ground that itsswould hasten hos
wtilities to a conclusion. One Senator
said that he believed Wilson is in-
c%lining more and more to- hal view,
and might ligt the5embargo oon
lie is the general opinion after a
talk with the president on the Japan
csc situation, that Officials in Japan
arc friendly to the United States but
are being pressed by radicals.

Robins Take EnZmann
To Cut Down Expenses

NEWARK. n. J.. July 3--The Newark
club, champions of the International
League. practically gave up all hope
of repeating in the pennant race today
by releasing Johnny Enzmann, the star
pitcher OF the team, to the Brooklyn
National League club. Enzmann is to
join the Dodgers July Z, in Cincinnati.
While 1t is officially a release of Enz-
mann to Brooklyn 1t is in reality the
taking over OF the player from the In
dians to the Dodgers by Charles H. Eb-
bets, ST., who is interested in both
clubs.
Newark has had a poor break in the
luck. this season and in common with
many other clubs in the International
League it has lost money. Only last
Sunday the Indians had to call on the
Brooklyn treasurer for 5000 to meet ex-
penses.

Hutchison. also of the Potomac, Is
going as spectator.
The Quaker City has a strong repre-
sentative in the double scuIIs. the only
other event in which the Washing
tonians compete. II being the FaIrnount
Club. This Is the first year the Fair
mounts have put double sclll out on
the water and the eyes of the Fennsyl-
vanians will be glued to their perform
ance.
Captain Solinger is confident his boys
will show up well IN their debut Fair
nornt are also entered in the iLrinr
quadruple sculls- The senior auadruple
sculls will be battle between VesTsr
and the New York Athletic Club.
All told, Saturday will be big day
on the Schuylkill rivc-. there being
seventy-five entries in the various
events to be run OF, and every indI-
cation points toward monstrous re-
gatta.
The Argonauts, of Toronto. Canada.
who have one of theS best elghts in
the world, will compete and are con-
fident Of victory. The New YORK Ath-
letic Club has entered an eight. as
has the Detroit Boat Club. OF that city.
Therefore, 1t depends on the Vespers and
College Boat clubs. the only Philadelphia
rowing associations that have entries
in the senior eight event to defend
the honor of the Quaker City. Two
men In the Vesper boat are suffering
from slight colds. but Captain Smith
expects all to be in fine condition for
the big sprints.
Jack Kelly, the champion scullcr Of
the SchuylkiI river. will have tvoS
hard opponents in Durando Miller, Of
the New York Athletic Club. and T. ).
Cooney, of the Pavenswood Club.
George Allison. who has not rs yet
appeared in any Of the reeattas this
season. will also be given a chance to
defeat Kelly. The little eWst Phila-.
delphia captain is rowing in great
shape and may upset the dope on Sat
urday.
Vivian Nickalls will have the College
Boat Club eight, composed OF men pick
ed from the Penn varsity and freshman
crew that rowed at Poughpeepsie. Nick
alls will also enter an intermediate four
cared gig and senior four-oared shell.
A. C. Felix, Of the Undine Barge Club;
Walter Jenkinson., of the vesper Boat
Club; Charles Smith, of the Penn Barge.
and Bill Mccormick, OF the West Phil
shells. With no outside competition in
this event, rowing fans look forward
to this race when local oarsmen alone
VIII strive for honors. Felix, or the
Undine. is looked on as the probable
winner, but Mccormick. of the West
Phillies, may loom as a dark horse The
latter Is training earnestly. Smith, of
Penn Barge, brother of that organiza-
tons captain. is being tutored by Percy
Whal and others.
In the intermediate double shells,
Nonpareil Rowing Club, Of New york,
and N. Y. A. c. are the Gotham crews
entered. Vespers, Penn Barge, Cres-
cent, and Undine are the Philadelphia
entries. The result Is a foregone con-
clusion. Nonpareil may have a fast
set of oarsmen, but when matched
against the pick OF Boat House Row
their prowess seems to fade.
