Those of the members who have

story of the position of a large ma
jority of their constituents demand

as the prohibition bill goes. They
don't want anything but the absolute

One member said he found con-
stituent who wanted the right to ship
in, but when he learned the month
ly portion he could have under the
anti-saloon league bill, he changed to
bone dry" on the spot, as he did
not want just enough for an aggrava-
tion. Eiether enough to satisfy him
or none at all was his view. With
the general comments since the re-
turn, the indications are not favor
able for the bill which allows ship
ments to individuals under any con-
ditions.
The probabilities are that at an
early date all of the different prohi-
bition measures will be up in the
House on committee of the whole for
discussion without waiting for action
of the temperance committee, as they
would be handled in this manner re-
gardless of what report the commit
tee might bring in. If this action is
taken it will probably be before the
end of the week.

SHIPPING PROVISIONS
In DRY BILL STRICT.

Pierre. S. D.-Whlle in the Senate
the new Anti-Saoon league prohibit
tory bill has been given the name
"A. B. C. Bill" because of its intro
duction by Senators Amsden, Bore
son and Carlisle. using their initial
letters. In the House it will sail
under different designation, from
the same cause the introducers in
that body being Representatives
johnson. Anderson and Graft, and it
comes under the title of -. q. G.
Bill"
But under whatever designation.
the members who have been study
ing its provisions. are taking the
position that while the bill does not
in fact claim to be a bone dry
measure, its shipping provisions are
such that it is practically such. The
express agent who hands out a ship
ment of liquor does so at his own
peril under practically any circum-
stances. He is not allowed to deliver
a liquor shipment to anyone under
ficticious name; or to anyone who is
in the habit OF becoming intoxicated;
to a minor, or to an Indian.
While the law allows shipments it
hedges them about with regulations
which make ii impossible for any
one to get shipment without lot
of red tape and publicity, under any
circumstances; and then places the
responsibility upon the common car
rier if they deliver a package to any
OF the prohibited list.
The bill which attempts to fix the
salaries of county auditors on a
basis of valuation. would give the
auditors of Minnehaha and Brown
counties each $4,000 per year, these
being the only counties which make
the necessary showing of valuation
of over sixty million dollars Sphinx
and Beadle would come within the
class of 81 500 with valuations be-
tween forty million dollars and sixty
million dollars. The class which
would receive s1.700 ii year are Bon
Homme, Brookings, Charles Mix
Clark, Codington, Dawson, Day,
Grant, Hutchinson, Kingsbuly, Lake,
Lawrence. Lincoln. McCool1, Moody,
Roberts, Yutner and Union. The
other counties would range down as
low as $3.50, which would apply in

Uniform laws governing the rights
of game wardens on boundary waters
of the state are sought by a bill
which is being prepared by Repre-
sentative Evander. In that part of
the state the boundary in the lakes
is hard to define to a certainty, and
game wardens are hampered in their
work OF law enforcement in all the
states on. such boundary waters. The
proposed plan is to give the wardens
of the states so situated, jurisdiction
to the farther boundaries OF lakes or
streams and take away the question
of their right to act The bill to give
such jurisdiction has been prepared
by Representative Evander for this
state and like bills will be presented
in North Dakota and Minnesota.

Report Two Fights.
ASSOCIATED Pres Review)
Two naval engagements have been
fought in the North Sea between
British light cruisers and torpedo
boat destroyers and German destroy
ers, the first time the naval forces
of the two powers have met since
October.
An official report from London
says that in one battle one of the
German destroyers was sunk and the
remainder scattered. In the other
fight, which occurred off iceland, a
british destroyer was struck by a
German torpedo, killing three Off
GERS and A men of the crew. The
damaged craft was later sunk by
ships of her own flotilla.
Unofficial advices from Holland
say that from two to seven German
ships were sunk and others badly
damaged, and that one of the latter
was towed into Ymuiden with twenty
dead on board, while 16 severely
wounded were landed by Dutch
steam trawler.
British Attack Boats.
London, England.-Reports from
Ymuiden received by Reuters say
that German torpedo boats Monday
night attempted to leave Zeebrugge
to avoid the ice. which was very
thick. They were Immediately at
tackled by large British squadron.
The action opened at short range
and early in the fight the bridge of
the German destroyer V-69 was
swept away by a direct shot.
The V-69 fired one torpedo and
was then hit by another British she'll
which knocked the funnel flat on the
deck. Still another shell put hole
in the fore part of the vessel.
The crew of the V69 numbered
about 60. 1t would appear from the
statements OF the men that seven
other German vessels We're sunk.
