WANTS SCHOOL TO TRAIN
COLORED ARMY OFFICERS
]. II. Hayes Suggests Using Howard
University for That
Purpose.

In an attempt to have the government
establish military training school to
turn out colored army officers, fash
ioned somewhat after the West Point
Academy, John H. Hayes of 1907 L
street northwest called to see Assist
ant Secretary Mather of the Interior
Department today. Mr.. Mather, how
ever, is out of the city, and it was nee
essary to defer the conference.
Mr.. Hayes first went to the War De-
partment, but was sent to the Interior
Department because that branch has
the control of Howard University, which
has been suggested for the military
academy.
1t is probable, according to Mr.. Hayes.
that the academy could be established
cheaper if it were made a part of How
ard University, but the colored man is
not particular where it is located. He
declared that those promoting the
proposition had the offer of large
school at Claremont Va, on the James
river, which is about to be abandoned.
He declared that there are about
100000 negroes of the country who
should be made part of the military
defenses of the country, and he wants
the officers to train them to be turned
out of colored military academy.

]. s. STILL SEEKING
DATA ON ANCONA
Extends Effort to Get Official
Reports on Sinking
of Vessel.

State Department officials were today
still without the official information they
seek to determine the attitude of the
United States toward the recent sinking
OF the Italian liner Ancona by submarine.
Efforts to get information from the con-
suls and embassies abroad were extended.
The department has many reports of
rumors cabled by consuls, but they will
not be given out for publication.
The United States government will
await the receipt of the Austrian govern
nents statement of facts concerning the
sinking of the Italian liner Ancona be-
fore considering whether any rights of
Americans have been violated. These
facts probably will be sought through
Ambassador PenfieId at Vienna.
The State Department now has before
it the Italian governments communication
addressed to neutral nations denouncing
the sinking of the Ancona as an unparai-
leled atrocity'' and officials also have seen
the published statements of the Austro-
hungarian admiralty describing the at

Two Statements Differ.

The two statements differ 1taly's COM
n,unication charges that without even a
blank shot" of warming from the attack
ing submarine the Ancona was shelled
and that the killing and wounding of pas
sengers continued after the vessel stopped.
The admiralty statement, on the other
hand, declares that the Ancona at
tempted to escape, and only after re-
peated shelIing was brought to stop.
II also claims that the passengers and
crew were given forty-five minutes to
escape in small boats, and denies the
charge that the submarine fired on the
boats.
Diplomatic exchanges between the
United States and Austrian govern
ments proba bly, will follow over the
entire question of submarine warfare
and the obligations of a submarine COM
naander to see that neutrals are safe

Ostlund were shocked Saturday
to learn of her death which oc-
CURED sometime during the
previous night. Her end must
have come peacefully and quiet
ly, as Mr.. Ostlund who was
sleeping by her side did not
know of her demise until he at
tempted to awaken her in the
morning. Friday evening she
complained of faintness, but ap-
parently recovered before retir-
ing. Mrs. Ostlund was sixty
three years of age, of Swedish
parentage. With her husband
and family she settled on the
claim that has since been their
home in the northeast corner of
Hart township at the opening of
the reservation. All the children
have grown up and made homes
of their own in distant places.
Deceased was a kindly woman
and highly thought of by all who
knew her. She was a member
of Rev. Johanson's congregation
of the Swedish Lutheran church
east of town.
The following people from out
of town are here to attend the

and yet the state was buying
milk and butter for the prision-

appropriate $1,000 for the pur-

These plans of the committee
took the Minnhaha county mem
bers by surprise and they ex-
pressed it without delay and
voiced their scorn of the sug-
gestions made. They didn't
want the money for the farm

couldn't see the need of cutting

WIND-UP OF
LEGISLATURE
Many Bills Were Rushed
Through During the
Last Days.

Aberdeen A me ri an--T he
amendment for a constitutional
convention is to be submittee to
the voters for approval at the
coming election and in view of
the fact that the code bill has
been definitely killed in the SEN
ate, it begins to look as if there
is a sentiment growing in favor
of such gathering.
There was small discussion in !
the house when the senate resolu-
ton came over for passage and it
went through, 81 to 33.
More proposed changes in the
constitution are to be submitted
at the next election than ever be-
fore and if his tendency to tinker
with the grand old relic is to
make progress toward bringing
the constitution up to date, the
convention must be held soon.
1t has been determined that the
cost of the convention will in all
probability be less than the cost
jof printing the amendments
which are to come up for the,
next election alone. ~
The effort to have the code feA
tvised may be said to have clOsed
when the effort to reconsider the
vote by Which the bill had been
| killed in the senate was lost.

son while talking to a couple of
friends in the StateroOm at noon,

sentatives and the ticking hours
after that moment when he was

the First district he is to re-
ceive S625 a month for the next
two years at least, as a starter
The new position didn't change
the popular young man, who
seems to know every man in
the state, and he keeps on being
the same cordial, commonSenSe
fellow he has always been.
The bill which was to provi de
that all county printing supplies
be let at competitive bid went
down to defeat in the house on
next to the last day despite ALL
that it's author, Thompson of
Minnehaha, could do to save it.
The vote was on indefinite post
ponement and carried big.
The bill providing for the in
spection of converts and hospi
tails underauthority of the county
Judge wasn't passed because it
deferred on next to the last day
when McGra presented some
amendments to the bill and asked
and gained support that the bill
go over day or so that the
) amendments should be printed
) in the journal. This brought it
up on the last day and that was
too late because all of the mem
bers had been shying off from q
vote on the bill ever since it was
started upon its course.
A funny situation developed
in the senate Wednesday when
members Of Minnehaha county
voted against some appropria
tions which the appropriation
committee thought they shoulc
have. They had tried to get
through the $4,000. for new
, twine plant at the penitentiary
f and failed and if they could not
have that they didn't want any.

! But the appropriation commit
tee decided differently. Members
of this committee learned from
the report of the board of chari
