Last Friday was Red Cross

The South Dakota chairman did
not get literature to us in time
for this event, SO we were unable
to supply the teachers along this
line with material for the event.
The county superintendent
knows of a teacher who is at her
post and ready for work every
morning before eight o'clock. He
also knows that this teacher has
! been receiving an advance in sal
airy each year for several years
until now she is one of the best
paid grade teachers that we know
of.

The county superintendent feels
that he has been very lenient in
regard to enforcement of the COM
pulsory attendance feature of our
school law. The scarcity of help
in caring for the corn crop has
influenced him in this matter.
Now that the corn crop is gath

The Red Cross Commission has
gathered statistics on the subject

that onehalf of those who die

This loss costs the United States

mission also finds that n person
out of every fifteen who dies in
South Dakota is a victim of this
disease. It is time for people to
wake up to these facts and try to
prevent the spread of tuberculo-
sis. Every red cross seal sold is
one cent spent in defense against

 For some time, Constable Ro, Morrell and Deputy Sheriff Jim Murphy, have been working on the case of Castro. The actual selling of the booze had not been detected until Saturday night. when Morrel actually saw him pass pint of whiskey to another man at the cor ner of Monroe and Second street He never got another chance to do it as Morrell nabbed him "pronto" and ha1ed him to the jail

 A visit to Blanco's house had good results. His stock in trade Was voluminous and of varied charao- ter. Whiskey. wine. champagne and gin made up the major portion of it.
 This is the second act of the anti booze campaign. The first batch of bootleggers brought in some time ago, are either serving their tim ? in the county jail, or awaiting trial in the superior court.

Lawyers for Former New York Police Lieutenant, Twice Convicted as Prin- cipal in Rosenthal Mur- der, Seeking Third Trial
UNFAIR. ERRONEOUS
 AND PREJUDICIAL
These Are the Charges That Will Be Made by Counsel in Attempting to Have Second Trial of Becker Set Aside
Especial to The Republican,


 NEW YORK. March 21.--The law yers for Charles Becker, the former police lieutenant. twice convicted as the principal in the murder by gunmen of Herman Rosenthal. a New York gambler. win on Wednesday go before the Court of Appeals in a final effort to secure d third trial for their client. The argument is based on the many conflicting state ments made by the witnesses whose testimony convicted Becker of com plicity with the gangsters in the murder of Rosenthal. and on the claim that public clamor and news paper zeal influenced the decision
 The brief in which Beckers law yers enumerate their contentious is the longest ever submitted in a cri- minal case in New York. It con tains 15o printed pages Some of the claims made by the lawyers. on which they hope for a new trial, are as follows:
 That the charge of Supreme Court Justice Seabury. who presided at the second Becker trial was unfair, CT roneous and highly prejudiced"
 That Becker's guilt was not es- tablished beyond a reasonable doubt.
 That his conviction was brought about by newspaper clamor, the zeal of the prosecutor and natural desire of the actual murderers for self-pro- lection.
 That the testimony of Jack Rose, one of the chief witnesses for the state, ''reeks with dupiicity and fal- sity"
 That Becker's lawyers were not per mitted to introduce at the second trial the written confession of Frank Giro fici. known as "Dago Frank" one of the four gunmen eleetrocuted on April 13 Of last year as one of the sunmen who shot Rosenthal. This confession. the lawyers claim, would prove clearly that at least one Of the gunmen. "Dago Frank" had never heard that Berker was behind the murder
 That the testimony of several other witnesses. including Charles B. Pitt, Jr. Becker's former stool pigeon, is also questionable
 That the testimony Of Mrs Lillian Rosenherg widow of "Leftie Louis" another of the executed gunmen, and who testified for the state at Beck CTS second trial. was highly incom- petcnt and improbable worth less so far as il has any value in connecting the defendant. Becker. with the gunmen or the commission of the crime"
 That the second Becker trial was staged ill an atmosphere designedly hostile to the defendant. an atmos- phere created by the clamor of New York newspapers.
 It is said that the two alleged confessions of "Dago Franz and James Marshall a colored witness. will play an important part in the
