Costa RIGA Offers
To Aid u. S. in War
Government Pledges Resources
in Return for Recognition

Costa Rica will declare war against
Germany, provided the United States
recognizes it's new government. 1t offers
10000 soldiers and its output of cocoa,
copper and chemicals to the Allies.
DR.. Ricardo Fernando Guardia, desig-
mated by President FREDERICK Tinoco
as Minister to Washington, and Dr..
Alexandra Rivas-Vazquez, his adviser,
announced this yesterday after a con-
ference with Henry c. Neuwirth, their
attorney, at 100 Broadway. Edward j..
Hale, the American Minister to Costa
Rca, will arrive in Washington next
Monday. The Costa Ricars expect that
he will satisfactorily explain the over
throw of Alfredo Gonzales, their
former President, recommend the rec
IGNITION of the new regime and thus
permit the little Central American re-
public to enter the European war.
On January p Tinoco, then Minister
of War, interrupted his breakfast at
San Jose, the capital, to join the revo-
lutionsts. After fifty minutes OF
bloodless fighting, Gonzales abdicated
and fed. and Tinoco returned to finish
his coffee, having been declared Pro-
visional President. He was formally
elected on April /.
The United. States, automatically, Is
still on friendly terms with Gonzales
who is said to be in this city plotting
to regain power.
DR.. Rvas-Vazduez has prepared a
note to Secretary Lansing, formally
Offering 70 become an ally OF this coun-
try. The note offers Costa Rica's har-
bors for naval bases, "even to the ex-
tent of using resistance and helping
with arms"
His German leaning was one OF the
reasons for the overthrow of Gonzales:
ale was despotic and anti American
said Dr.. Rivas-V azquez. lie was IN
fuenced by DR.. John Kunpel, German
citizen. Kunpel ran everything. Con
zales juggled the finances of the Com
mercial Bank and gave loans TO polltl-
cal fayorites until the bank went bank
rupt, losing 100000 OF the depos-
itors' money"

City Club Charges
Unions Threaten
Swami Accusers
Declares Strikes Are Pro-
posed in Factories En-
ploying Witnesses

The City Club charged yesterday
that agents for labor unions have
threatened to call strikes in garment
factories that employ any Of the wit
nesses who have testified against Dis.
trict Attorney Swami. The accusation
was made at the trial of the District
Attorney before Commissioner Ingra-
ham for misconduct in Office.
Louis Levine, whose frequent pres
ence in the District Attorneys Office
during the time when these witnesses
were being inundated into pleading
guilty to perjury because they had tes-
tilted against union officials has been
shown, has taken part in this coercion
OF the garment manufacturers said
Chase Mellen, chief counsel for the
City Club.
81 don't see how that has anything
to do with the trial of the charges
against District Attorney Swami" said
Commissioner Ingraham.
1--WE will show that these witnesses
against the District Attorney are suf-
ferng because they can't get work, and
all because they testified against the
District Attorney and the unions" re-
pied Mr.. Mellen.
Evidence Not Admissible
Commissioner Ingraham told Mr.
Mellen that he had recourse to- Grim
inal action, but he ruled that such evil
dence was not admissible against Mr.
Swami.
The hearing yesterday was enlivened
when Commissioner lngraham rebuked
Assistant District Attorney Markewich
for giving out typewriter statements
TO the newspaper men during the TAX
ing of testimony.
Such conduct is grossly contempt
uous," said the court.
The District Attorney scored several
points during the day. Mr.. Stanchfeld,
only witness. who brought Mr. Swami
personally into the charges of intimida-
ton, caused the witness TO retract
important testimony gwen wen dSV
At that time Polar had said he had
asked for a personal interview with
Mr. Swami that he had told him that,
although he was not guilty, he had
pleaded guilty to perjury because
Markewich and Elder had promised to
get him out of prison and into good
Job. lie also said he asked Mr.. Swami
if he could rely on the promises Of
Markewich and Elder, and was told
that he could trust them implicitly. To

Must Give Million Daily.

Mitchell.-H. A. Oldham. chairman
OF the Liberty Loan committee, at the
end of the first day of the selling cam
paign announced that practically the
entire state is organized and that
most encouraging and enthusiastic re-.
ports indicate that the patriotic cit;-
zens of the state are aroused to the
necessity Of making the second Lib
erty Loan campaign success in South
Dakota. 1t is considered significant
that no especial appeal was made to
farmers at the time of the first Liberty
Loan. Secretary McAdoo in his speech
at Aberdeen recently called attention
to the unusual prosperity of the FARM
ers of the state as evidenced by the
huge sums on deposit in South Dako.
ia banks this fall and particularly
urged them to take advantage of the
sound investment offered in Liberty
Bonds. He also appealed to the patri-
otto and to the necessity of backing up
their boys fighting for the continuance
of liberty and the worlds. democracy.
The quota for this federal reserve dis
trict is $125, 000. 900. and South Dako-
ta's apportionment is $12,0OO,O0G,
which means that South Dakota sales
must exceed 100000 per day.

Gas Measure Short.

Vermillion.-Reports received at the
Office OF the state food department
from the inspector who is testing gas.
oline and kerosene measures and
measuring pumps at Yankton show
that of Is pumps. IL gave short meas
ure and that eight others were correct
within the tolerance allowed. One oil
company with branches in several
cities of the state, was using IL meas
ures. of which II were condemned for
being short. A third jobber in Yank-
ton was using three 5-gallon measures
and one 1-gallon. OF these, two 5-gal-
lon measures were found short and
condemned. In two other towns visited
by the inspector conditions were found
about the same as in Yankton and
Vermillion. 1t is expected, however.
by the food and drug commissioner
that improvement will be noted over
the whole state as result Of the dis
crepancies already found and the pop.
ular demand for correct measure of
commodities used SO extensively as
tasoline and kerosene.

Corn 25 to 40 Bushels.

Bridgewater.-Corn husking will be
in general progress in this locality
within the coming week, with an esti-
mated yield of from rs to 40 bushels
per acre, of excellent quality. The
price for husking thus far is from z to
s cents. Smelling will be in progress
earlier than usual owing to the dry
condition of the grain. Potatoes are
yielding fairly good returns. quality
good. and command 81 per bushel on
the market. Taken all around this is
one of the most prosperous years .he
farmers in this locality have ever ex.
perienced. 1t is generally predicted
that the acreage sown to wheat will
be materially increased for 1918.
