Looking Through a Periscope.

1t is an experience to glance through
q periscope Of submarine when sub
merged. 1t Is also something thai
needs getting accustomed to before any
distinct image can be made out The
first thing that strikes the novice is the
extraordinarily wide range of vision.
The whole outline of vessel can be
clearly made out, though the ship may
be comparatively close at hand. while
farther away the ocean can be swept
to a very considerable extent Those
who have been accustomed to subma
rines since their early days state that
vast improvements have been made IN
periscopes lately over the former pat
terms, when the view was very re-
stricted. Submerged watchers were
then often puzzled to know whether It
was the hull of ship or portion of
the coast they could see. = London

HESPERIAN SUNK
BY MINE, BERLIN
Germany Says Submarines Were
\ Not in Locality.
U. S. AMBASSADOR NOTIFIED
Ambassador Gerard Receives Com
munication Which Disclaims Re-
sponsibility for Destroying Liner
Note is Preliminary to More Facts
When Gathered.


When Gathered.
Berlin, Sept. 15.-(Via London.)-
The German government, in a note
from the foreign Office to Ambassa-
dor Gerard, delivered at noon, made
a qualified disclaimer of responsibility
for the sinking of the steamship Hes
perian. On the face of the evidence
thus far at hand the government Is
satisfied that the Hesperian was not
sunk by German submarine.
Note is Preliminary Only.
The communication is preliminary
note which may be supplemented
when all the facts in connection with
the Hesperian incident are established
definitely. The German government
formation thus far obtained, the the
DRY that the Hesperian was sunk by
a German submarine apparently may
be abandoned absolutely.
IT is said that official records show
no submarine should have been in the
vicinity of the Hesperian at the time
she was blown up. Furthermore, the
point is made that the violence of
the explosion and the place in which
the steamship was struck, as set forth
in the accounts of the osaster, indi-
cate that it was due to mine.
The report does not profess to be
final, but is based on evidence so con-
vincing to the government that it
feels safe in asserting the Hesperian
could not possibly have been attack
ed by German submarine.
AS Received in London.
London, Sept. ia semiofficial
statement issued in Berlin says it has
virtually been established that the
steamship Hesperian was not sunk
by German submarine.
The statement, forwarded from Am
sterdam to Reuters Telegram COM
pany, is as follows:
According to information in COM
petent quarters, it appears from news
at present available and from facts
known in official quarters to be as
good as excluded that German sub.
marine can be held responsible for
sinking the Hesperian.
Distribution Not Favorable.
Il. In view of the distribution Of
submarine in accordance with war
plans, no German submarine was in
the sea district on Sept. A in which
the Hesperian was sunk.
"2. According to descriptions re-
ceived from English sources, the ex-
plosion was of such a kind that it
must be inferred from its effects that
it was caused by mine rather than
a torpedo. In support of this assump-
tion is the fact that, according to &C.
counts received, the ship was hit close
to the stem and few foremost COM
partments were filed with water"

U. S. YIELDS TO
CARRANzA PLAN
Supreme Chiefs Peace Farley
Proposal Accepted.


Secretary Lansing's Suggestion
Against Holding confab on Border
Agreed to-Representarives of Car
rama to Meet Diplomats-Recosni-
tion in Allegiance Until ENJOYS Re-
port.
Washington, Sept. 15.--The admin
istration has decided to discuss the
international affairs of Mexico with
Carranza's representatives, as sug-
gested in his reply to the peace parley
proposals. Upon the outcome Of that
conference will depend whether Car
rama and his government shall be
recognized as the best way of bring
ing an end to the troubles of the Mex.
lean republic and restoring peace and
order.
Secretary Lansing states that the
Pan-American conference will meet in
New York this week. While the day
has not been given out officially, 1t is
known that Saturday will be desig-
mated.
Carranza's ENJOYS Known.
Carranza proposed that the confer
ence be held, in some border city on
the Mexican side. Secretary Lansing
wants it held in Washington, and
representatives of the Carrancistas In
this city who have been sounded have
agreed to this modification. Arrange
ments for the conference have gone
so far that it is known what men will
represent CarranZa. They will be
Luis Cabrera, member of the present
cabinet; Roberto Pesquelra, formerly
Carranxa's agent here, and e. Are
dondo, present representative in
Washington of the constitutionalist
government.
Two Questions to Be Solved.
Formal announcement Of the &C.
ceptance of Carranza's proposition
will be made at the session on Sat
urday. While Mexicos international re-
lations will be discussed, it is pointed
out that, if Carranza can satisfy the
conference on that subject, at the
same time he will prove che stability
of the government he has established.
The international situation viii be
discussed under two heads:
First-Is Carranza able to protect
foreign interests in Mexico, and
Secondly-Will his government, If
recognized, pay the claims of foreign
ers for losses sustained to their prop
erty and for foreign lives that have
been sacrificed?
II he can show his ability to do
this, it is admitted he also can sup
press the factions that would oppose
him, as that would be necessary to
meet the two requirements named.
The question of recognition, how
ever, is to remain in allegiance until
after the commission that confers
with Carranza-s agents has reported
to Secretary Lansing and his asso-
ciates.
U. S. Cannon Train on Matamoras.
Brownsville, Tex, Sept. 15.-Every
hour that passes increases the seri-
BUSINESS of the situation on the Next
can-American border. These were the
chief developments of the day:
Battery of American cannon was
ordered trained upon Matamcras, the
Mexican town across the Rio Grande
held by Carranza troops.
Bodies of two Mexicans were found
near Santa Maria, where Mexican and
American troops engaged in battle
yesterday.
Armed Mexicans invaded the La
coma ranch, twenty miles west Of
Brownsville and owned by r. c. Tel
ford, an American. They stole sew
eral horses, six saddles and large
quantities of provisions.

4 ~ STARTED TO GET RICH

Sioux Falls, 8. D., March a--From
clerk in a clothing store at q modesC
salary to owner of a fine farm of 14L
acres Is what has been accomplished
by Fred w. Stangohr, a Sioux Falls
young man, in the course of not much
more than or eight years. His
health failing from close confinement
in the clothing store, he was advised
to seek outdoor work.. A friend 'staked
him" to an express wogan and a horse
and with these he started In doing 2
dray business on a small scale. The
business grew, and from that he drift
ed to truck gardening. In due time
he became owner of five acres of land
near Sioux Falls and later secured an.
other five acres. Truck farming proved
very successful and with the profits
from It and the sale of the 10 acres hd
purchased 80 acres in another location,
The cultivation of the 80 acres also
proved very successful and profitable,

DENTIST FALLS INTO
Deep SNOWDRIFT And
SMOTHERS TO DEATH
Was Out With Party of Friends
Watching Snowplow Buck
Huge Drifts.

Dallas. 8. d.. March 10.-Plunging
head first into a huge snowdrift which
filled and obscured a deep gully, Dr.
H. d. Duncan, Of Dallas. the most
prominent dentist in the Rosebud
country, was smothered to death yes
terday afternoon before his body could
be recovered by those who were with
him. The accident occurred about one
and one-half miles west of Dallas.
DR.. Duncan had beer out watching
the Northwestern snow pillow at work
and was accompanied by Homer Hetts,
a local merchant, and Louis Visha,
cashier Of the Bank of Dallas. As a
side diversion they were coasting down
the heavily drifted hillsides. While
going across a drift which filled a gully
DIR. Duncan broke through and plunged
deeply into the soft snow. ..
Rescuers hurried to his assistance at
once. but h speed at which he was
going carried him forward farther than
estimated underneath the drift, and the
excavation was made at the wrong
point.
After the body was recovered II was
apparent that his head struck against
the side OF the gully, rendering him UNI
conscious. But for this feature he
would have been able to help himself
to some extent, at least to the extent
Of making enough struggle that the,
rescuing party could have located the
body quickly. q.
DR.. Duncan owned a fine farm one
half mile west Of Dallas and a homo
In the city. He is survived by a young
wife and two small children. DR.. Dun
can came here from Iowa and was a
graduate OF the Iowa university. He
had built up a very large practice.

NO PROSECUTIONS FOR
DELINQUENT INTEREST
South Dakota Rouse Forced to
Recede After Deadlock Of
10 Hours.

Pierre, s.. D., March Sat 3 O'Clock
this morning the house receded from
Its position OF insisting on a $4,000 APP
preparation for prosecuting cases
against former state treasurers. to col-
lect interest money. and the t4th SEES
sion adjourned sine die. The provision
for prosecuting interest cases was In
a special bill. defeated in the senate
earlier in the session. The house then
put 1t In the general appropriations bill
as an amendment and a deadlock en-
sued lasting approximately 10 hours.
until the house receded.
The total appropriations for all pur-
poses Is slightly less than two years
ago. The increase in the general APP
preparation bill is about. $4,000
which IL more than offset by a smaller
total OF special appropriations.
The senate was in executive session
for a few minutes to confirm the APP
potntment OF ]. l.. Wingfield as head
or n new department OF banking and
finance created by the bank guaranty
act.
The house. after completing Its work,
began marching and singing while
waiting for the conference report.
What has been the most important
legislation of the session OF the South
Dakota legislature. just closing its BIZ
ennfal session, depends upon the view
point OF the individual interested. The
OSSStOH las pceu a Qul6I O1c IN SVcTy
way. What Is probably the most darT
ing innovation in legislation is the EN-
actment of a complete primary law,
thus repeating, root and branch, an
act which was placed upon the statute
books through the medium OF the initi1
alive provision OF the state constitu-
ton.
After the primary law, probably the
bank guaranty act is OF most interest,
1t was passed with very slight opposi7
tion. the bankers themselves assisting
in framing the act. Besides the legis-
lation enacted in this line, two different
acts have been presented through the
initiative to the same effect.
The state tax commission has asked
and secured the presentation to tho
people OF a constitutional amendment
to change the whole system OF taxation
In allowing classification of property BY
N legislature. and several enactmenta
to assist them as far as possible under
the present constitutional limitations,
Other constitutional questions are those
for the holding of a constitutional con-
vention for general. revision, constitu-
tional prohibition and equal suffrage.
In penal and court affairs radical de-
partures were in the adjustment OF
capital punishment in the state, and In
providing for a five sixths jury verdict
In civil suits. ..'.H IT.
