the trip will be to advertise the fair
and to make a social call on u neigh
boring towns. The Brookings band

they having arrived at the halfway
goal in their school work.
The need and advantages Of a higher
education were strongly emphasized by
DR.. Perisho in his address to the
graduates and also by Superintendent
Blakely in the class prophesy which
was emphasized very emphatically by
an extension to the ladder represent
ing the freshman, sophomore. junior
and senior years of high school work,
thus in 1919 the class of 1915 were i'm
pressed with the honor Of being high
school graduates, another extension to
the ladder represented the freshman,
sophomore, junior and senior years of
college education, thus 1923 the men,
bers of the class of 1915 were i'm
pressed with the honor of being grad
yates Of the good old South Dakota
State College. In order TO impress
upon their minds the Importance of
this graduation Miss Janet Sloan sang
the Yellow and Blue in a very pleas
ing manner, with Miss Edith Sloan
presiding at the piano. This song
made a hit with the audience as well
as the readings Of Miss Lillian Breed
which were especially good.
Much credit is due to DR.. Perisho for
the most excellent address given the
graduates, also to Prof. C~hristensen's
orchestra for the excellent music rem
dered durisg the evening. Prof. Chris
~tensen's violin solo with Miss Cecile
Welsh at the piano was very pleasing,
and credit is due the high school
girls glee club under the leadership
Of Miss Leila Linn for the excellent
numbers rendered.
The parents and teachers of the
graduates Of 1915 are to be commend.
ed for the faithful work and encourage
ment that they have rendered the
class of 1915 especially during their
work in the eighth grade. also for
their presence at the graduation ex.
ercises thus encouraging the pupils in
their efforts in further completing
their education.

her major course. After receiving her
accepted a latin position in the Bar
nett township high school and gave
entire satisfaction for the past four
years. The high school has been very
fortunate in having exceptionally
strong teachers in this department and
the record Miss Wilhelm has made is
sufficient evidence that she will main
tain the high standard of efficiency
that former teachers have set for this
department.
Miss Halma L. Milne
Instructor in English and Dramatic Art
Miss Milne graduated from the Mon
mouth college, Monmouth, Illinois, in
1911, and from the school of oratory
of that institution the following year.

After receiving her education she con-
Quoted a studio of expression at May
field, Ky. Last year she had charge of
the department of expression and at
the same time vas director of physical
training for women in Defiance Col
lege, Defiance, Ohio. Miss Milne comes
highly recommended and the depart
ment of public speaking will be
strengthened under her direction.
Miss Esther Bloomquist
Instructor in Music and Drawing
Few high schools can boast of better
qualified teachers than are found in
the Brookings school. All are special
lists in their line and especially is this
true of Miss Esther Irene Bloomquist
who is to have charge of the music
and art this year. After graduating
from the Amasa,, Mich, high school
Miss Bloomquist entered the Angus

cerned in the case. John Malaha1fey
and Joseph Petrick, two Lithuanians
who the Collins boys a1Iege were with
Muchr1anas. told the coroner today
that the Collins boys assaulted them
without cause.
Patrick Collins said that he was
standing in front of his home in Rail-
road avenue when Joseph MalahaI1ey
walked up and struck his brother,
John, with a fence picket.
Previously John had told the coro-
ner MaIaha1Iey struck Patrick. The
hearing was still on at press hour. In
the city court today the charge against
the Collins boys and Arthur Ma1strom
of 1924 State street and John Stacey
of 1928 Railroad avenue who were all
held in connection with Muchrlanas
death was changed from assault with
intent to kill to mans1aughter. The
bonds were increased from $1,000 to
$4,000. After two weeks in st. Vim
cents hospital Muchr1anas died yes
terday of a fracture of the skull.

Bridgeport Banks
May Be Moved To
Region Of New York

Bridgeport banks connected with the
Federal Reserve banking system will
SOON be included within the New
York region rather than Boston Of the
influences at work upon the directors
Of the federal reserve banks prevail.
Charles C. Sanford, head of the
First-Bridgeport National bank and
a director of the reserve banks in this
section. said today. There is little
question that the plan to change
Bridgeport from Boston to New York
connection will eventually succeed.
just how soon that will be I cannot
say at this time though I expect it in
the near future.
cit is no more than just that Bridge
port be connected with the New York
banks, for the volume c& our ba1siness
here is westward rather than eat

Though there has not been q large
demand for rediscounting under the
federal reserve act, the banking sys-
tenn is being carried on probably. ac-
cording to Mr.. sanford, and the banks
are on a self-supportfng basis.

WALKER LEAVES
STATE PRISON.;
WILL TAKE TRIP
Goes to Sisters Home in
New Britain and Issues
No Statement.

Hartford, Dec. 4-WilIiam F.
Walker. New Britain embezzler, pa
rolled Wednesday, is now at the home
of his sister in New Britain. It was
leave the prison some time in the af-
ternoon but plans were changed and
he left this morning.
No word came from Judge John
Coats or his wife to the warden up to
o'clock Friday afternoon, the time
at which the prison closes for the
night. Walker went back to his cell
File marched in to supper with his
mates, the same as he had done for
the past few years and partook of a
frugal supper, fruit, bread and bever-
ages that constitutes the light evening
meaT at the prison. At the custom
airy hour of o'clock he went to bed,
in the prison hospital.
Walker rose at the usual time this
morning, and went silently to break
fast with his fellow prisoners at $50
o'clock. Later he was busy at his
work in the little oId-fashioned print
shop in a corner of the prison store
house.
At o'clock at last came the sum-
mons. The little old man manifested
no symptoms of emotions He had his
orders, TO quit his work and prepare
to leave the prison, and he calmly
obeyed. He was aided in discarding
his sister had provided and shortly
after O'Clock he passed through the
heavily bo1ted gates that separated the
prison proper from the offices and
vesttbule, perhaps for the last time in
his life.
In the warden's office, shortly be-
fore o'clock he signed his parole
papers, by doing which he promised
to report to the warden once a month
while on parole, to abstain from the
use of liquor in any form, to refrain
from carrying concealed weapons of
any sort and generally to conduct
himself as a frugal, temperate and
law abiding citizen. This done, he
turned to the warden, Chief Clerk
Frey and the assistant clerk, and
thanked them for their kindness to
him. shook them by the hand and
said goodbye.
Then with their farewe1ls, he step
ped forth into the biting air and
bright sunshine.
t'Just as calm and cool as any of
them when they leave here was
Warden Gamers comment. mot a
sign of joy, not a sign Of anticipa-
ton, just walked out as he came in,
without comment or emotion"
Walker was taken to New Britain
in the prison auto driven by Warden
Gamers chauffeur.
On Friday Mrs. Coats, sister of
Walker, applied to Col N. G. Osborn.
of New Haven, chairman of the board
of parole, for permission to take her
brother out OF the state. She was
told it was a matter which the full
board should decide.
