Vermillion, Jan. 10.--A John Doe
proceeding was held by States At
torney Bauman, of Clay county, in
the effort to secure evidence against
parties who we're suspected of selling
liquor illegally, Clay county being

remanded to the county Jail, where
he remained over night before he was
in a mood to return proper answers
to questions. He finally gave the
testimony desired and was placed I'M

for trial in the state circuit court.
The officers proposed to place every

NEW TYPE OF MINE
To PROTECT COASTS
Artillery Perfects an Improved
Device Which Rises and
Falls With the Tide.

New York.-A new type of subma
fected by the coas artillery branch OF
the United States army and which will
be issued TO forts guarding American
harbors as soon as possible was de
scribed by officers who have been fol
lowing tests OF the mine. All are en-
thusiastic over the possibilities which
the new weapon affords of simplifying
and making more effective the nations
coast defenses.
While the mechanism of the mine Is
a secret, 1t is known that It's effective
ness lies In the fact that the depth of
the tide aud the strength of the cur
rent I'm a harbor may be entirely dis
regarded when the mine Is planted.
An automatic device inside the mine
itself can be set for any desired sub
mergence. which will keep the mine at
that place usually eight feet below the
surface) no matter how the tide may
rise and fall and In spite of any drag
by the current.
This type OF mine can be planted in
a harbor and then left alone on the
bottom, controlled by the operator at
the mine field switchboard In the fort.
To this switchboard every individual
mine I'm the field is connected by a ca
BILE. From his post the operator can
send the mine on a moments notice TO
its war position just below the sur
face. He can tell how far up 1t has
gone by Il small signal device In the
casemate. a gong. which sounds a
ringing note for every foot upward

URGES SEGREGATION
DIRECTORS OF FEEBLE MINDED
SCHOOL AT REDFIELD TALK
OF THEIR WORK.

Pierre, Jan. 10.-That if the feeble
minded were segregated the feeble
minded population would cease,
crime would cease, crime would be
surprisingly decreased, and insanity
would be abated half what ii now is,
was the gist of statements made by
Mrs. Kutnewsky and her daughter,
who are In charge, with DR.. Kutnew-
sky, of the institution for the feeble
minded at Redfield. Mrs. Kutnewsky
and her daughter responded TO an in
vitation to speak in the Congregation
al church Sunday evening of the
work in South Dakota's institution
for the feeble minded, and they told
very gripping tales of the work done
there, describing the tests employed
in determining the mental compe-
tency of each inmate. and discussing
the great problem at large as well.
1t was shown authoritatively that
feeble m%indedness almost always
propagates itself-that the offspring
of feeble minded inherit that defect.
Crime and insanity are to a tremen-
dous extent predicated upon feeble
mindedness. If feeble minded were
segregated the deficit would be wiped
out in one generation and crime and
insanity reduced so per cen in that
time, was the statement made. Epi-
lepsy, insanity and kindred states are
correlated with feeble mindedness
and products of it.
DR.. Kutnewsyk's report for the
year ending June so. 1916, shows
that South Dakota School for Feeble
Minded has sos patients, and the re-
port shows the work of the people in
cludes the making of laees. embroi-
deries. crocheting. tatting. basketry,
as well as plain sewing and other in
dustrial products. these things being
taught the patients according 10 their
