Police Investigating the Case
Unable to Find Man Who
Sold Tickets.

Upwards of one hundred negroes,
victims of negro stranger who
gave his name as "Dr. Brown, of
New Jersey" were disappointed
Sunday noon when the northbound
train departed, for more than one
hundred Pensacola negroes, according
to receipts" held by Captain of
Police Thos. Susachs each contributed
from So to 81 to the fund to carry
them to the north, where, it had been
represented, big wages and short
hours of easy work had been offered
them.
Not only were negroes from the
city in the angry crowd, but num-
Der from the rural sections were on
hand. These, in many cases, had
disposed of livestock AMI farms for
little money, and had willingly be-
heved the stranger. When it was
seen that the stranger had duped
them, they confided their troubles
to the police. Captain of Police
Thomas Cusachs secured from a
number of them the receipts" for
money paid, and negro named E. G..
Gray, an "elder," as he termed him
self, was arrested as the man who
had written great many of the re-
ceipts. Gray. locked up at the. city
Jail last night, was held under $500
bond, which he could not give. He
was technically charged with being
q dangerous and suspicious character.
for it was the opinion of the police
that he knew of the intentions of the
main mover in plan to get money
from Pensacola negroes, although he
believed that the contract would be
carried out by the "Dr. Brown" In
| Gray's valise, were found Bible and
a revolver. He will be arraigned in
the city court today.
Some few weeks ago, the victims
explained to the police, strange
| negro arrived here with alluring tales
of the scarcity of able-bodied men in
the north, and gave the impression
that good wages were available. He
is said to have circulated this state
| ment widely and in some instances
had addressed crowds of negroes
telling them of good money to be
made in the north. He wanted sew
eral hundred to go from Florida to
New Jersey, and made the promise
according to information given the
police department, that tickets would
be furnished on the noon train or
the first Sunday after the 18th OF
the month. To guarantee the ac-
ceptance of his offer, he said. he re-
quired deposit of from 81 to Sd fol
sleeper berths, and this was what
the receipts were given for. This
| further inducement was offered that
all persons paying this money anc

to advance transportation charges

Submarine Issue With Ger

PRESIDENT BUSY
FOREIGN AFFAIRS
Relations With Entente AL
lies Less Clear Cut, But
More Tedious.
BY AssoCIATED PRESS

Washington, November 19.-Com-
plicated international situation faces
President Wilson and for the next
few weeks will engage his attention
to practically the exclusion of all
but the most urgent of domestic
subjects.
In the last days of the campaign
Secretary Lansing often spoke of the
necessity of postponing action on del
icate international questions because
of the uncertainty of the election
outcome. From now on the presi-
dent expects to deal with foreign
questions without embarrassment.
The most disquieting of the prob
lens is the submarine question with
Germany. Five critical cases are
pending, one involving the loss of
six American lives, two others in
volving American ships.
The United States attitude is flat
and final. No technicalities will be
admitted. Ships must not be sunk
without warning or without provision
for the safety of passengers and
crew.
The armed ship issue which doubt
less will be advanced by Germany.
will not be accepted by the United
States. The future of the submarine
situation is felt to rest with Ger
many.
Relations with the entente allies
however, are less clear cut, less dan
gerous, but perhaps more nagging

MANY MAY LOSE
ONLY THOSE OUT OF THE COUN-
TY MAY SWEAR IN VOTES
ELECTION DAY.

Not before in years has the regis
tration been lighter for a general
election primary than it has been
this spring, it is said by county Of
~ficials.
A little more than LOO voted two
years ago i'm Lake county. There
are about 1000 voters i'm the city Of
Madison. Inquiries at the office Of
County Auditor NJ. ID. McGillivray
revealed the fact that less than one
half of the voters of the county were
registered. In a single township to
day only seventeen of 100 eligible
voters had registered. 1t is esti-
mated by the county auditor that not
more than half of the city voters
have registered.
Voters in the county are cautioned
that they must register on or before
May Il. 1t is pointed out that while
it is comparatively easy to swear in
a vote in some instances, only those
who were absent from the county
during the time that they could reg
lister will be permitted to swear in
their vote next election day.
Men in the country may register
by mail if they choose, A number of
cards which only need to be filled
out and returned to the county audi
tor, have been mailed out. Candi-
dates are also taking out cards.

START CORN PLANTING
MOST SMALL GRAIN HAS BEEN
SOWN-PROSPECTS GOOD,
FARMERS SAY.

The warm, dry winds of the last
couple of days have been a boon to
grain growers, farmers say. Excess
sive moisture in the fields, it is said,
retarded the planting of small grain,
especially on low land. Some farm
ers declare that on account of the
u~nfavorable weather of the last few
weeks, they planted small grain later
than for a number OF springs past.
1t is believed that just about all the
small grain that will be sown this
year is'now on the ground OF will be
by the last of this week.
A few started planting corn today,
it was told by farmers who were in
the city this forenoon. 1T is believed
that with continued good weather
corn planting will be general by the
first of the week. 1t is said that be
cause of the poor corn crop last year,
there will be a little less corn planted
in Lake county than there was last
season. Some of the ground which
was planted with corn last spring
has been sown with oats or other
small grain. 1t is declared that early
seaso prospects for small grain
never were more favorable in this
vicinity than now

BOYS give PET
SONS OF REV. ROY pALNfERTON
DONATE THEIR SHETLAND
PONY TO COLLEGE FUND.

A unique donation to the fund be
ing raised to enlarge and widen the
scope of the Sioux Falls Baptist
college was a Shetland pony, the gift
OF the three young ms of Rev. Roy
Palmerton, pastor of the First Bap-
fist church here. The boys are
Leighton. Maxwell and Ernest Pal
merton. A cart and harness went
with the pony, which was taken to
Sioux Falls yesterday by a Sioux
Falls college student, who came here
for it. The outfit will be sold and
the money received will be added to
the fund. The pony was a spotted
one, and its being driven down the
street by its youthful former owners
was a familiar sight to Madisonians.
The amount set out for by the col
lege is $25O,000. Residents Of Sioux
Falls last week contributed $4,000
to the fund. 1t is intended TO raise
a part Of the balance of the amount
in the state outside of Sioux Falls.

GERMANY COMES BACK
CANNOT FOREGO SUBMARINE
WARFARE-IT - RETALIA-
TION FOR BRITISH
BLOCKADE.

Washington. d. c.. May 5.-Spe-
cial: Germany declares in a reply to
the American note that she cannot
forego her submarine warfare, and
cannot appreciably change the rules
under which the submarine com
manders are acting. The campaign
is one Of retaliation for the British
blockade, therefore Great Britain is
to blame. The United States has not
shown the same sympathy for Ger
mar women and children, whom the
allies propose to starve, as it has for
the victims of submarines. The
United States could have confined
the war strictly to the actual bellig-
erents had it not aided the allies by
furnishing them with munitions.

MANY MADISON MIN WILL BE
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS FROM
SIOUN FALLS.

Excayating for the $4,000 model
school which will be added to the
Normal school, started today.
A. Snitkey, of the Sioux Falls
Construction company, which con
Germ has the contract for construct
ing the building proper, said today
that work would continue just as fast
as materials arrive. He also told
that so far as possible local men,
with the exception of a foreman, who
will come from Sioux Falls, will be
engaged in the work. A motor
which will be used for generating
energy for the rock crusher and 9TH
er machines which will be brought
into action, will probably be connect
ed up by the Electric Supply com
pany. Of this city. Mr.. Snitkey init
mated that it is the intention Of his
company to contract for assistance
here, so far as possible, outside Of
day laborers.
Local men and teams are being
used in the excavation work. r. II.
Mayfield has the contract for the
plumbing and heating in the build
ing. and the Electric Supply company
was the successful bidder for the
electric wiring.
The building is being erected on
the northwest corner of the Normal
school campus. John II. Roberts, in
speetor for the state board of re
gents, is on the job.

RURAL TELEPHONE LINES TO

ANOTHER DIRECT LINE.

From twelve to fifteen miles of adj

is to be served by the Madison ex-
change of the Dakota Central Tele-
phone company. The extension to
the system here is to be constructed
at once.
Small telephone poles removed
from city streets and alleys will be
used in the construction of the ex-
tension. The large city poles which
are being taken from city streets, as
a result of the underground cabling,
will be shipped away, it was said to-
day by George Phifer, manager of
the Madison exchange, and w. M.
Mclaughlin, construction superin-
tendent. Increased demand for rural
phones has made the extension nee
essary, 1t is said.
Incidentally, Madison Ia to have a

erection. Supt. Mclaughlin will take
a part Of the crew Of men who have
been engaged on the new system
