Head Of National City Bank
Believes Preparedness is
the Vital Issue.

NEW YORK, June 3.-The first
open declaration OF sentiment among
the recognized financial leaders Of
the country has been made by Frank
A, vanderlip, president OF tho Nation
al City Bank, in favor OF Theodore
Roosevelt.
Mr.. Vanderllp's stand did not come
as surprise. as the observation OF
nearly all men In the financial district
for the past few weeks has been that
the swing Of the opinion there was all
toward the Colonel. This belief was
voiced BY Mr.. vanderlip himself in
making announcement Of his position.
He admitted that he like great
many others. had only come to his
present convictions recently. He was
assistant secretary Of the treasury
under the first Mckinley administra-
ton.
Il am for Roosevelt" said Mr..
Vanderllp explaining his stand to the
newspaper men. Il admit that l was
not some months ago. but have
come to believe that Roosevelt voices
the ono great principle that politics
has to deal with this campaign. The
necessity Of preparedness oycrshad-
0ws everything else. His attitude
toward business has been on the
whole, in my opinion. satisfactory,
but that IL q minor issue. What good
is business II the country is unable to
protect itself against dangers that
may threaten?"
While Mr.. Nandcrlip was speaking
n hi al I Ia In ~
lief in Wall Street that he voiced
the opinion of many Of the other
moro prominent men. Tho SUPPOSE
ton has been ever since the famous
Gary dinner that Roosevelt was in n
favorable position to receive the sup
port OF banking and commercial In
terestF. but until recently 1t has been
felt In tho financial district that he
could not be nominated. Within two
weeks, notably since the formation
OF the George Won l.. Meyer Republi-
can committee, this doubt has been
succeeded by confidence that Roosc-
welt can overcome old guard opposi-
ton and defeat Hughes for the Re
publican nomination.
Some time ago canvass taken
Aluuuk NV" lOIh FNbNh tNGldlEt
members showed a preponderanCe in
favor Of Root. Since that time there
has developed. noticeably along with
the confidence in Roosevelt's position.
a new enthusiasm for him based on
the conviction that the Republicans
must nominate man who would
stand every possible chance OF cleo
ton.
Mr.. vanderllp represents power
full set OF financial interests. Be
sides being president OF the largest
banking institution in the country
he was the organizer and Is chairman
OF tho board OF the American Interna-
tional Corporation, the first large
company formed for the promulga-
ton Of foreign trade. He is also a
director OF the Farmers Loan and
Trust Company. tho National Bank of
Commerce. National City Company
Now York Edison Company. Union
Pacific Railroad Company. and the
Riggs National Bank Of Washington.

NORBECK WILL WIN


Sioux Falls, May 16.-Candidates
Of the various parties now are work
ing early and late to line up their
supporters for the battle of ballots in
the primary, May 20. which will dis
close the identity of the men chosen
TO make up the congressional and
state tickets of the parties which Will
come before the voters Of South Da-
kota at the general election in No
vember.
Supporters of Peter Norbeck, lieu
tenant governor and candidate for
nomination on the republican ticket
to the office of governor, and others
who are in close touch with political
conditions throughout the state, con
tinue to predict the nomination Of
Mr.. Norbeck. The supporters of Mir.
Norbeck base a part of their conf
dence on the fact that two opposing
candidates for the nomination to the
office of governor on the republican
ticket are i'm the field and will divide
the anti-Norbeck vote. The great
bulk of the votes of the two former
republican factions, the supporters
of Mr.. Norbeck declare. will be con
centrated upon Mr.. Norbeck. and
they expect that this will result in
his nomination by not less than TO-
600 plurality.

as and for cider vinegar a product
which was not cider vinegar. These
Watertown cases are the most recent
OF several cases resulting from an eff
fort by the department to put a stop
to the sale OF imitation cider vinegar
where genuine cider vinegar is called
for by the purchaser. A short time
ago grocers in Sioux Falls and
Mitchell were successfully prosecuted
on the same charge. The word win
egar" without qualification has been
defined by the government as apple
cider vinegar, and this is by far the
most popular vinegar in use in Amer
lea. 1t is an easy matter to initiate
the color of cider vinegar and some
manufacturers are successful in very
closely initiating its chemical com
position. The food commissioner
advises housewives to insist on OBJ
tanning the kind of vinegar they ask
for, from their grocer.

HEAVILY FINED
SALEM BUTCHER ASSESSSED
NEARLY 500 FOR SELLING
SPOILED FISH.

VermilIion, May 16.-Assessing a
fine of 500 against a butcher for VIC
lating the pure food law, a Salem
justice Saturday evening established
a new high record in the penalty in
flicted on offenders under this sta
tute. To the above amount $S.15
costs must be added to obtain the
total amount which the butcher Is
compelled to pay. The effense con-
sisted in selling a quantity of spoiled
fish, which was i'm such condition as
to cause illness in several families.
An inspector of the state food and
drug department reached Salem Sat
urday afternoon and the case was
quickly disposed of, the defendant
pleading guilty to the charge. Prob
ably the size of the fine was largely
determined by the fact that this is
the third offense by this Salem
butcher against the state food law.
Some years ago he was successfully
prosecuted for selling watered oy-
sters and last fall a second complaint
was filed against him on a charge of
using meat which was unfit for food.
Three other cases were handled by
inspectors of the state food and drug
department last week. In Aberdeen
Saturday a feed dealer was fined for
selling medicinal stock food which
was not registered in conformity
with the state law, and in WATERFOWL
two grocers were fined for selling

MYSTERY PARTIALLY CLEARED
Body of Missing Man Found i'm Min

Sisseton, May 16.-The mystery of
the disappearance of M. N. Stat, of
Easter township, on Easter Sunday.
was partially cleared up when the
body of Stat was found in the Mime
sofa river by w. j. Potts, a short dis
lance from a haystack near where he
was last seen. The coroner's jury
returned a verdict that he had come
to his death from unknown auses.
The face and head were bruised. in
dicating that he might have met with
foul play, but the body was consid-
erably decomposed and swollen from
being in the water so long, and the
absence of any cause why any one
should make away with him led the
jury to return the open verdict. He
is survived by a wife, four sons and
three daughters.

One of the most ~stupendous prob
lens of western railroading has been

dous tonnage of the transcontinental
trains over the mile-in-the-air crests
of the mountains Is a Herculean task
under the most favorable conditions,
and when snow fills the passes, and
cold ~beleaguers the fire boxes of the
steam locomotive, the difficulties of
mountain operation become well nigh
insuperable.
Remarkable. therefore, was the re

new electric locomotives, pulling the

having traversed the mile-high pass
of the great continental divide in the
