Cattle Case Decided
After Eiqhteen Years

Sioux Falls, S. D., June 7.-(Spe-
cial.)-After having been in the
courts for period of eighteen years,
the state supreme court has rendered
a decision in the case of Nellie A..
Chapman against S. Josie Hill and
Daniel Greene, originally instituted
in the state circuit court of Penning-
ton county.
The decision OF the supreme court
dismisses the case. The suit was in
stituted in 1899 and was three times
carried to the state supreme court.
The plaintiff started the action as
a replevin suit for possession of a
herd of thoroughbred Hereford cat
tie, alleged to have been wtongfully
in the possession of the defendants.
Two of the original defendants have
died since the litigation was started.
On two occasions juries in the cir
cult court decided in favor Of the de-
PENDANTS, and now, as the result of
the third appeal to the supreme court,
the action finally has been dismissed.

Argentine Sailing Ship
DESTROYED by Submarine

Paris, June 1.-THE Argentine sali-
ing ship Oriama was sunk by sub
marine in the Mediterranean sea We'd
nesday, according to announcement
made by the ministry of marine to-
night.
The crew was saved by French
ship.
The subamrinc first shelled the ship
and then sent on board, who fixed
bombs in its hold and exploded them,
sending the ship to the bottom.
Available shipping records do not
contain an Argentine ship named
Oriama. An Argentine bark named
Oriana was reported sunk in the
Mediterranean sea last April. The
report was never conhremd and it is
possible that this is the vessel now re-
ported by French ministry of marine,

RECTOR WORKED HARD
TO RAISE FUNDS

Snecial TO THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEWARK May 2,--The handsome
new pipe organ that is being instolled
in st. Thomas Episcopal Church VIII
be dedicated at the morning services,
al II O'Clock on Sunday. II was largely
through the hard work Of the rector,
the Rev. Walter G. Haupt, commit
tee OF women Of the church, that sur
dcient funds were raised to secure aid
from the Carnegie Organ Fund, there
bv making the new instrument posi-
bic A vested choir was also organized
several weeks ago and the new organ
10 is expected will greatly assist the
choir
When the organ was first talked OF
several builders we're considered but
after a visit made by Mr.. Haupt, to
the N. p Moller plant at Hagerstown
Nd. which is the largest and best
eouipped factory in America, devoted
exclusively to building pipe organs, II
was DECIDED to give that concern the
contract. A large congregation is ex.
pected at the dedication services on
Sunday.
AS the amount OF space available
FOR the organ was limited, and the
church did not require great power,
the builder departed from the usual
type Of organ In preparing the speci-
locations IN order to secure the widest
variety that could be built within the
space and to provide for the choir
and sanctuary. In order TO do this the
Moller patented duplex action was
used so that any stop Is playable on

compartment, individually or in COM
bination with other stops. multiplying

the instrument. The console is de-
tached and placed at the opposite side
NJ the chancel and yet the response
Is as prompt and touch OF keys as
light as that of the best piano, even
when full organ Is being played.
The mechanical part Of the instru-
nent Is noted for its simplicity OF
construction, fine material and SPLEEN
lid workmanship while the design Is
n harmony with the church interior
so that architeoturally the organ looks
a part Of the church without any sug-
gestion Of incongruity
While the instrument is a model OF
The builders art mechanically, its
greatest charm lies in its tonal quail
ties special care being taken in the
yoicing of the various registers, and
the tone which characterizes the diff

developed TO a high degree and yet all
are so carefully regulated, that when
full organ IS played. the result is one
volume OF pure organ tone, no single

has marred many otherwise nice OF.
