JUDGE HANEY SAYS
LEGISLATURE MAKES
TROUBLE FOR Lawyer
Courts Bear Much Blame That
Should Be Visited on Law
makers.

Pierre. :. d.. Jan. l6.-"lf the Judges
81 the state were to become as careless
IN the discharge of their duties as our
legislators have been in the enactment
~ statutes. social conditions would be-
come intoleralle, i'm less than 80 days"
was the statement of former supreme
court Judge Haney. of Mitchell, before
the Bar association. Indeed. the pres
ent condition of the statutes in this
state In large measure. is responsible
FOR the current adverse criticism OF
the courts.
Much OF u statute law is ambigu-
Gus, conflicting and confusing to
lawyers as we'll as laymen."
Judge Haney was of the opinion that
when the legislator begins to be Of
some real value to his constituents n
the state. he is replaced by another,
VINO. IN due course of rotation of office
retlreS when his usefulness as "a legts-
'ator is about to begin. The judge said
further that it is enough to suggest
that no private business could be sue
ressfully conducted by the discharge nf
employees as rapidly as they became ac-
customed to their duties.
After touching upon the subject OF
initiative and referendum and the pres
emit possibility that because OF it South
Dakota is likely to vote upon two
similar measures at the next general
election. Judge Haney recommended
immediate codification of the laws be
longing to the political code. and hat
the initiative be eliminated from the
state constitution. without removing
the veto provided by the referendum.

bassy.
The embassy statement says:
While they cannot give a pledge
that all ships now in prize courts will
be released on bail being offered, be-
cause the decision must rest with the
judge. his majesty's government. in
order to relieve a shortage of tonnage,
is anxious to withdraw ships as little
as possible from the carrying trade
and will. therefore. not oppose release
on bail of ships now in prize courts, il
bail is offered.
"Only v neutral vessels are at
present in prize court and five ships
are detained in the United Kingdom in
addition at this moment for examina-
ton as to the character and to desti-
nation OF cargo. One of these will
probably be released almost imme-
diately and not one of them is under

SUPREME COURT REFUSES
TO ALLOW SEPARATION

Henry. S. d.. Jan. 16.-It is not often
that h supreme court of Il state de-
cides that a man and wife must live
together. but IL decision just rendered
by the supreme court of South Da-
kota in the case of Enice p. Hopkins
vs.. Hollice l.. Hopkins. residents of
Codington county. is intended to have
this result.
Mrs. Hopkins instituted an action
for divorce against her husband. The
suit was first tried about a year ago
before Judge McNulty. who rendered
an a decision indicating that he did
not believe the evidence sufficient to
warrant q decree of divorce and then
took the case under advisement. AT
the nj of three months, Judge Nc
Nulty rendered Il decision, in which the
divorce was granted Mrs. Hopkins.
The husband appealed the case to
the state supreme court, which has just
rendered a decision reversing the lower
court, on the ground that the plaintiff
had no grounds for divorce. Whether
or not the case will be retired in the
lower court has not been announced.

KNIFE, HATcHET, SKELETON
MAY MARK SCENE OF TRAGEDY

Rapid City. S. D.. Jan. 16.-While
prospecting on the head waters OF
Spring creek. in the western section
of Pennington county. Edward Park
inson found an interesting relic Of
pioneer days in the Black Hills, in the
form of an old scalping knife. which
was sticking in a tree. The bark of the
tree had grown around the blade UNI
til it covered it for several inches,
showing that the weapon must have
been driven into the tree many years
ago. 1t is believed the old weapon
was driven into the tree by some OF
the warlike Sioux Indians. who in the
early days We're accustomed to waylay
and attack the few whites who had
entered the Black Hills in search of
gold. Parkinson also found near the
tree an old Handicapped iron hammer.
probably lost by some prospector in
the early days. or it may have been
made use of by some Sioux warrior as
as weapon. Some years ago a human
skeleton was found in the same local
tty. which, together with the two
weapons just found, may mark the
scene of one of the old tragedies which
were frequent during the early days
of h Black Hills. The old knife and
hammer will be preserved.
