SLAYER OF POLICEMAN \
Eager to avenge the death of Ed
ward Mulvihill, every brother patrol
man in the city was on the lookout
for the we1l-dressed Italian masher
who shot MulVihill when the latter
came to the aid of a girl upon whom
the masher-murdeTer was pressing
UnwelcOme attentions, A police
order with a minute description of
the slayer was scattered broadcast
today.
MulVhil1 was stopped last night as
he reached w. Harrison and Miller
sts. by an aged woman, who told him
that she was waiting for her daUgh-
ter to come from work at the Saw
yer Biscuit Co. The girl had been
annoyed by an Italian every night for
weeks. He threatened to kill her I'M
less she married him.
Mulvihill waited with the mother
until her daughter, Florence Ward of
1922 Taylor St, came into sight. The
Italian was with her.
The policeman walked UP and tried
to grab the stranger, but he broke
and ran. A five-rnihute chase led
into an alley near Vernon Park pl
and Miller st. Here two bullets from
the Italians gun stopped pursuit be-
fore the policeman could draw. i
Terror Landie, James OddiW Jos.
Sprido and four other Italians were
taken into custody by the police of
the Maxwell st. station today. The
names of the four were withheld by
the police, pending an investigation.
A stiff preliminary grilling brought /
no results.

BURGLAR GENTLE WITH GIRL
INVITED TO RETURN
If the Christmas burglar that in
vaded the home of Mrs. Halle Tr0sn-
goor, 42O7 N. Lincoln st. yesterday,
will come back he can have a we'll
filled basket that will bring cheer to
him and the kiddies, if he has Riddles.
Mrs. TTosngaar is sorry for this
burglar because she just knows that
he was hungry when he broke into
their fiat. And the way he treated
jana, her 13-year-Old daughter,
proves that he has a kind heart and
is probably a daddy himself, in need.
When Jana came home from
school she no sooner opened the door
than she bumped into this burglar.
She Screamed, but jumped at him
and started fighting with all her lit
tie might. He stopped her, of course,
and tied her hands and feet, but he
did it gently and laid her down so
softly that Mrs. TFosngaar Just
knows he didn't want to hurt her.
The intruder left Jana on the floor
and hurried from the house with
nothing but a bottle of milk taken
off the porch.

ISSUES NOTICE TO PEA GAMERS
EXPLAINING RECENT
DECISION.
AFFECTS WOMAN WORKERS
Ten Hours Limit Placed on Single
Daylight Labor Is Limited
to Eight Hours by
Commission.

Madison-Following the Wisconsin
supreme courts decision on the law
limiting hours of labor of women, the
Wisconsin industrial commission gave
notice to the eighty pea Gamers of
Wisconsin that they must operate
their factories without permitting
women to work in excess of the linn
its laid down in the law.
Justice Rosenberry's opinion has
made it impossible for the Gamers to
operate on the extended limitation of
women's hours which they have en-
joyed since the legislature of 1918
made provision for them. This pro-
vision, according to Justice Rosen-
berry's opinion, is unconstitutional
and can not be continued.
The commissions letter says that
women may be employed not to ex-
coed ffty-fiye hours in any one week
and not to exceed ten hours in any
one day. This schedule is limited by
the following: Between the hours of
8 p. M. and a. m. women may be
employed not more than eight hours
in any one night and not more han
forty eight hours in any one week"
Besides restricting the operations of
the proprietors, the Rosenberg sopin-
ion does away with the extra pay for
merly earned by women employees who
under the former orders were paid
time and half for overtime. Women
in the pea canneries are paid about 10
cents per hour on the average. The
customary scale runs from cents to
Is cents.

DEATH OF ROBERT S. ALEXANDER

Robert Sloan Alexander was born in
Fulton county, Pa, December 23rd.
1924, and departed this life at his home
in ]Brookings, S. d., November 27, 1915,
aged 81 years, eleven months and four
days.
August 2Sth, 1848, he was united in
marriage to Esther NJ. Irwin of Nc
Conellsburg, Pa.
In 1856 Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander came
west and settled at Epworth, Iowa.
where they made their home until 1871.
when they came to Dell Rapids and be-
came pioneers, settling on a homestead
which was their home for many years.
During his residence in Iowa Mr..
Alexander helped survey the line of
the Illinois Central railroad west from
Debuque, thus Identifying himself with
the vanguard of civilization.
At Dell Rapids he helped to organize
the first English Presbyterian church
in the state, and was largely identified
with the church as elder and Sunday
school superintendent.
In 1891 Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander NOV.
ed to Tacoma, Washington, where Mrs.
Alexander died. During his stay / N
Washington he was prominent as he
had been in other places in the work
Of The church. He also served here as
Elder and as Sunday school superin-
tendent.
After the death of Mrs. Alexander
and a daughter at Tacoma, Wash, he
returned to South Dakota and made
his home with his daughter, Mrs. E. F.
Peirce at Brookings.
To say that Mr.. Alexander was a re-
markable man is stating the facts alto,
gether too mildly. He was one of hun,
dreds. A man of the rarest traits and
of unquestioned ability. His was a SUI
perior mind stored with treasures
gathered from wide reading, extensive
knowledge of men and affairs and close
observation.
That he was no ordinary man was
evidenced by the fact that he number
ed among his friends many men and
women OF the keenest appreciation o.
his superior merit. Those who knew
him In his prime which covered 9
longer period than usual that he hat
ability far beyond that of the average
man.
He had great tact and much skill IL
dealing with men and seemed always
to be able to bring out the best IL
those with whom he was associated.
During the last few years Of his lif'
his eye sight grew dim and his hearin.
dull, but he kept a keen interest in tn,

mind was remarkably clear to the end
Of his life.
AS a Christian Mr.. Alexander was
quite as outstanding as he was in other
affairs of life. He was positive in his
faith and clear in his conviction. To
be in his presence was TO receive an in.
spiratiOn and a benediction. One look
into his benevolent face convinced one
Of the fact evident to all his friend
that he ever lived on the sunny side of
life. He had seen the storm and the
calm, the JOY and the sorrow incident
to every frontier experience, but he
seemed ever to grow more optomistic
with the passing years.
The people of Brookings who knew
him loved him for his genial spirit, his
warn heart and his genuine merit.
In his passing the community looses
one Of the most remarkable men it ha-
ever been privileged to have in its
midst. He leaves to mourn his de
parture three children, Knox |. Alex
ander, of Norfolk, Va, r. Taylor Alex
ander, Of Bremerton, Wash, and Mrs..
f. p. Carr, of San Diago, Calf, also
nine grandchildren and a large circle
of intimate friends. The funeral ser
vices were held Tuesday morning at 3
o'clock, The remains were taken to
Tacoma, Wash, accompanied by Mis-
Ruth Pierce and his son Taylor, who
came from Bremerton, Wash, in re

fathers illness. The remains will BE-
buried by the side of his wife who died
seventeen years ago.
