Mineola, l.. l.. July z.-Because of
the suicide of Frank Holt. assailant OF
j. P. Morgan, last night in his cell In
jail, it is probable the mystery sur
rounding the man, and whether or not
he was the missing Professor Huenter
of Harvard will never be known.
The manner in which Holt commit
ted suicide was still a mystery this
morning. Stories of the name In
which the act was committed differ.
Some Jail authorities declare Holt
leaped from his cell to the courtyard
below. Hollis keeper said he was kill
ed in his W cell, where he was foune
lying in a pool of blood. A physician
stated that Holt came to his death by {
blow on the head.

FOR GOVERNOR, 1916
Hob. A. E. HITCHCOCK, of Mitchell

A test case is to come up on the
issue of license for non-graduate
veterinarians in the state, as at least
two graduates, II from Sphinx and
one from Jerauld, have protested to
the board on the work of non-gradu
ates and have asked for a hearing.
The law in regard to licenses to non.
graduates is conflicting, and this will
be the issue. Apparently the law of
1918 required at least five years active
practice in the state by non-graduates
before a license could be granted
without examination. Attorney Gen
eral Caldwell holds that the intent of
the law was to allow certificates on
5-year practice, and such certificates
have been issued, and this appears to
be the main point in contention.

Byrne promised to clear the decks fol-
Nh. Norbeck for governor. but the
former has backed into the ace for {

Spearfish Mail: State Senator Var
Denmark of Alexandria, this state, has
instituted an action for libel against Il.
N. Holsaple, president of the state
anti-saloon league. The plaintiff is a
prominent lawyer, at n time being
assistant United States attorney for
South Dakota. The damage suit is
based on an article said to have been
written or inspired by Holsaple and
published in the American Issue, a per-
iodical published in Ohio, and in which
Senator Van Denmark 8 official course
in the state senate was criticised. A
monetary consideration is no particu-
larry considered by plaintiff, therefore
he sues for the nominal sum of $50, the
smallest amount permissible under our
statutes. Senator Van Denmark seeks
to secure a v%indication at the hands of
the courts for the things Holsaple has
published about him. Holsaple and his
famous fishing trip in Lawrence county
are not yet forgotten. His chief occu-
patton in life appears TO be be that of
spy and informer, a would-be retormer
of the morals Of the state and nation,
and likewise handy with a vituperative
pen in criticising people. That he has
gotten in bad is evident from the in
stitution of the suit by Senator Van
Denmark.

Lansing presumably will be of little
or no value to the administration or
the democratic party. But as a wise
and learned and sagacious counsel
lor, familiar with the history of ma
tons, trained in the intricacies of
that intangible thing termed inter
national law, experienced in the arts
and usages of diplomacy, it is earn
estly to be hoped that he will prove
a tower of strength to President
Wilson and to the American people
in a time that calls for all that is
big and strong that American states
manship can furnish.
