POWER OPPOSES CUT.

Jackson, Miss, March 22.-Secre-
tary of State J. W. Power is vehem-
emily opposed to some of the recon-
mendations made by the special house
committee appointed to devise plans
to cut down the running expenses OF
the capitol building.
The report of the committee does
not decrease the appropriation to any
great extent, but suggests that con-
victs be employed as porters, instead
of the negro labor now used. Mr.. Pow
er does not want the job OF bossing
convict labor, nor does he desire to
have the big building cluttered up
with prisoners in stribes, and has
frankly told the legislators that this
would be very Objectionable Nine ne
eros are employed as pOrters, and
It is quite likely that they will be re-
tanned
The committee considered the adj
visibility of securing electric current
from the jackson Light &, Traction
Company for lighting the building our
ing five months Of the year, when the
capitol heating plant is not in opera
ton. This matter, however, is left in
the hands Of the capitol building.
The report eliminates an item oil
$150 for gas, the members probably
thinking their colleagues have furn-
ished sufficient gas during the past
three months to supply the building for
the next two years. This expenditure
is made for gas logs in the Governors
office and the state library.

BLACK HILLS CITIES
VERY MUCH WROUGHT
over LICENSE ISSUE
Now Only Two Dry Towns In
That Region, But Gains Prob
able BY Temperance Forces.

Rapid City, S. D., April 15.-1n all
of the city elections to be held in the
Black Hills section of this state next
Tuesday one question is paramount n
that is the liquor question. From all
indications, the result of the elections
will furnish dry" gains. AT present
there are but two dry" towns in the
Hills, Custer City and Rapid City. Lit
tie fight is being made in Custer by
the vets and all indications point
to a continued barrier against saloons
there.
Rapid City, one of the four towns in
the state where the saloon forces are
making a fight to turn the tide after
one no saloon year, is in the midst or
the hottest campaign ever waged here.
In 1915 the town went dry by 81
votes. The vote was a surprise.
While the vets are working quiet
ly and are making every effort to get a
majority, the "drys' are carrying on
one of the most systematic campaigns
of any town in Me state. A Better
Rapid City league has been formed,
made up principally of business and
professional men, and the idea is to
Keep the league in force after the cleo
ton to see that the law is enforced,
should the town again decide against
liquor sales.
Hot Springs, now wet" is carrying
on a hot campaign this year, and dis
interested parties predict that the
"drys" are going to carry that town.
The Brewers association has had rep
resentatives working there and they are
doing their best to keep the resort
town.
Belle Fourche, also among the wet
cities Of the Hills country, is almost
certain to go dry" according to views
on both sides of the question. The
fight probably will be close. however.
Sturgis. which has a municipal sa-
loon. III only one in the Hills, will
remain in the wet column, according
to all indications.
Lead is certain to remain wet"
Edgemont, which is a railroad town,
will undoubtedly remain in the wet"
column and the "drys' are making very
little effort there.
In Deadwood, now wet a strong
move has been launched to make
the town dry" and the general sentl-
ment there is that the fight will be
close, with the saloon forces now hav-
ing the best prospect.

IMMORAL WOMAN ASKS
POLICE AID ON COLLECTION

Aberdeen. S. D.. April ia young
woman of bad reputation, who recently
appeared in Aberdeen from a city out
side the state, where she evidently
had been used to police protection,
feels she is the victim of misplaced
confidence. She appeared at the police
station yesterday morning n entered
a complaint against a travelling man,
with whom, she stated, she had passed
the night at a hotel. The man gave
her SIS, she said, and then, when he
started to leave, he tool the money
from her. In order to recover the
money she said she drew a 20 caliber
revolver on the travelling mar and
the man took that away from her, too.
She asked the police to assist her in
recovering the SIS and the revolver.
Instead the police arrested both her
and the travelling man and they We're
held for trial in municipal court.
