Judge Orders Francis Van Moore
Liberated.

Attorney w. G. Porter of Aberdeen.
but formerly OF Sioux Falls, has re-
ceiyed word that he has won a fight
he had been conducting for, five years
to secure the release from the peni-
tentiary in this city of Francis Van
Moore, a Sioux Indian, who was sem
fenced on July 8, 1900, to the state
penitentiary for life, for the murder,
in Stanley county, Of Susan lineup,
an Indian woman.
Five years ago Porter took up the
work OF securing the freedom or the
Indian. The case was carried to the
state circuit courts. and then to the
state supreme court in an application
for q writ OF habeas corpus, but the
attempt failed. Then the board OF
charities and corrections OF the state
was appealed to, to commute Van
Moore's sentence, or recommend a
pardon, but the most that could be
secured was the Communication OF the
life sentence to a. term Of forty years,
which would have given the Indian
his freedom. with time off for good
behaviour, In 1921.
Finally the case was taken before
Judge James ID. Elliott of the federal
district court, and Judge Elliott now
holds the alleged murder was commit
ted ON the Walking Eagle, allot-
ment, which was not under the juris-
diction OF the state government OF
South Dakota. and accordingly he.
has ordered the release Of Van Moore.
The case was argued before Judge

taries and Endorsed fully their hopes
Tor the continuance of good will and
friendly relations, That their pledges
OF friendship should have been made
aboard a man o. war, he said, added

be made a peacemaker, he said, made
him feel deeper"
Secretary Daniels introduced Ad-
miral Dewa with an address in which
he said the United States has always
been DESTROYS of making Japan a good
neighbor and friend. Admiral Dewa,
speaking through his aide, replied
with SIMILAR expression.
Secretary Bryan said he hoped all
citizens and even officers of the navy
would be willing to give their lives
for their country, if necessary, yet he
thought it proper every person en-
ploy lean for peace.
Experience makes us pray" he
said, for times when all questions

Some of the fruit growing associations Of the west sought last
year to ttcut OUT the wholesalers by selling direct to the retailers,
but they found that in order to dispose of their entire holdings the
ADDITIONAL cost represented about the measure of profit which the
wholesalers usually take, so that there was no apprccable saving.
The problem is yet to be worked out. Fruit, being more perish
able than ordinary farm products, is more difficult to handle with
out the intermediation of the jobbers and wholesalers and the cold
storage plants.
The farmers themselves have made some headwaY "a handling

THE CHICAGO

The defeat Of Carter Harrison for the democratic nomination
for the mayoralty Of Chicago is one Of the surprises Of the cam
paign. Mr.. Harrison was not only defeated but he was over
whclmcd-a sort Of an avalanche, or landslide,
Harrison is a son of the old Carter Harrison whose unique
personality caused him to be a national figure a half generation
ago.
The younger Harrison inherited many of the fathers virtues
minus many of his faults. His administration in Chicago has been
marked by a reasonable conservatism, albeit it was alleged that he
was in league with the underworld.
But 1t was the underworld, in cahoots with Roger Sullivan,
from whose United States senatorship Illinois barely escaped last
that overthrow Mr.. Harrison, who had shown an inclination
to be independent and to compel at least a semblance of respect for
law and order.

SIXTY YEAR FIGHT,

ued for More Than Half Century

Summit Hill, Pa. - The mine
operators of Panther Creek valley arc
seeking to conquer the fire which has
been burning sixty-two years in the
mines r which are owned by the
Lelght Coal and Navigation company
owners of the burning mine thought
they had the fire extinguished. but
recently dense volumes of smoke
were discovered pouring from the alb.
andoned shafts in the vicinity of Nc.
Cready's old mines. Flames can now
plainly be cen during the night belch
ing from the earth.
During the sixty-two years that the
mines have been afire millions have
been expended by the Leigh Coal and
Navigation company and millions of
dollars worth of coal has been, re-
duced to ashes. Powerful pumps for
many years were constantly kept
working at an mormon cost pump
ing water into the valley in the hopes
OF getting control of the fire. The
work, however, proved to be without
avail.
One million dollars was then ex.
pended to sink an immense concrete
wall deep down into the earth in
front of the underground ~conlagra-
ton with the hope of checking it.
Quite recently all the caves and
abandoned shafts were sealed or fill
ed to prevent any daughts reaching
the fire, but this seemed only to in
crease the activity Of the flames.
The blaze after raging for some time
died out of its WI accord and mine
owners thought it would be only a
question of time when work could be
in shafts adjacent to the
fire which had to be abandoned, be-
cause of the intense heat and danger
of explosions.
The fire breaking out afresh, how
ever, will cause renewed efforts on
