REDS ATTEMPTED
REIGN Of TERROR
CITIES IN EASTERN STATES sUF-
FER FROM BOMBS, AND
ONE is KILLED
NAVY PLANE LANDS on ENGLISH SOIL
Epochal Flight Ends At Plymouth
From Port Whence Pilgrim
Fathers Sailed For America

Before midnight on Monday eight
cities of the east, Pittsburg, Patterson,
N. j., Philadelphia, New York, New
tonville, Mass, Washington, Boston
and Cleveland, were the scene of at
tempts to start another reign of ter.
ror as was first started few weeks
ago by the sending of bombs through
the mail from New York City A
bomb explosion damaged the house Of
the attorney general of the United
States in Washington, and resulted in
the death of a person who is supposed
to have been the bomb planter. In
these other cities the places assailed
were all residences of public officials
with the exception of two, and seemed
to be directed against men who had
been prominent in enforcing the law
against the radicals or in moving for
legislation to that end. There were
several narrow escapes and there
were some injuries to innocent by
standers. Several clues have been
four hat seem to point directly to
us" of socialism as being the
,tSvers in this attempted terrorism.
The hat of the victim in Washington
has been traced to Philadelphia and
bambs exploded in Pittsburg have also
been traced to the same place. 1t ap-
pears that the conspiracy was hatched
in the City of Brotherly Love and ra-
dated from there to the other cities
by the bombs being sent by messenger.
The secret service of the government
and the police of all cities in the
country, are being used to try and
solve the mystery of these explosions.

HELLO RATES STAY UP

The rates on telegraph and tele-
phone messages were raised in Janu-
ary by an order of Postmaster General
Burleson. The South Dakota Supreme
Court enioined the telephone com
panies from increasing intrastate toll
rates in compliance with that order.
The matter was then taken to the
United States Supreme Court, and they
have rendered a decision that the au-
thority conferred by the resolution CT
congress and the act placing these
lines under the direction Of the gov
ernment, were war powers conferred
on the president and that the power
of the government to order such rate
raise was supreme and conclusive.
The entire court concurred in the
opinion. Therefore until the lines are
given back into private ownership, the
postmaster general may do as be
pleases about rates for all the tele-
graph and telephone companies of the
United States.

GIRLS DELAYED

A Chicago daily has the following
to say about two young ladies well
known in Brookings, who were ready
to sail for overseas. This account was
published in a recent issue together
with the photos of the ladies.
"Waukegan and Darlington, Wis,
may yet see the tan shoes, the Y. NJ.
c. A. outfits, and get the postwar at,
tentions of Miss Grace Wynn and Miss
Catherine Swift Miss Wynn is from
Waukegan, though she Is now in New
York, eager but unable to sail for
France. Miss Swift is just as eager
and quite as unable to quit Camp Dix.
Gen Pershing is to blame. After the
girls had bought the quota of tan
shoes and woolens and everything that
the "Y" requires the commander Of
the A. E. F. suddenly ordered no more
"Y" girls to sail for France. The girls
were to do canteen work. Both had
surrendered positions with the South
Dakota State College of Agriculture,
where Miss Wynn was song leader
Miss Wynn was to have sailed today
on the Rochambeau and Miss Swift
should have sailed Thursday on the
La Espagne."

CAPTURE CONVENTION

At the recent meeting of the Luth-
eran church, held in Sioux Falls, the
Rev. b. A. Benson and the delegation
that represented Brookings there were
very fortunate and successful In cap
turing the 1921 convention Of this body
for Brookings. Next year, 1920, they
hold their national convention and no
meeting will be held for the district,
but in 1921 Brookings will entertain
delegates from all the Ninth district
of the national church, which includes
the states of Colorado, Wyoming, Ne
braska and South Dakota. This is no
small convention, from the reports
of the weeks meetings In the Sioux
Falls papers, and at that time visitors
will come from all over the nation, as
well as the northwestern states. With
our great educational institution and
the beauty that Brookings can show in
the next two years. these gentlemen
who secured this meeting for our city
can be congratulated on their enter
prise it will be pleasure both for
the city and the visitors.

M EN- ORAL DAY

The observance of Memorial Day in
Brookines was OF d dignifisd and rev
Grant nature In the morning a parade
of school children, scouts, w. r. c.,
returned soldiers and college cadets,
accompanied by the cadet band,
marched from the court house square
and after a parade of several blocks
passed the c. A. r. Post, in review, at
the Federal building. Across the rail
way track autos were provided to take
those who desired to Greenwood cem-
etery and the firing squad saluted the
dead over the grave Of o. c. Wing,
the last veteran Of the civil war to be
placed in the city of the dead. In the
afternoon services were held at the
Opera House and program of exer-
cises presented under the direction Of
the w. r. c. Hon. Philo Hall deliv-
cred the address of the day and those
who were privileged to hear him lis
tened to one Of the finest orations that
has been delivered in the city in many
years. He held the attention of all
the big audience to the last word and
his thoughts made an impression of
on all those present. While
not large demonstration, it was one
long to be remembered

REPLY TO COUNTER PROPOSALS
OF GERMANY ARE NOT YET
AGREED UPON
AUSTRIA REFUSES ALLIED PEACE TERMS
All Kinds OF Rumors And Stories Are
Sent Out From Enemy Nations As
To Their Final Decision

The council of four met yesterday
and considered territorial and repara
tion questions from the standpoint OF
experts called in to give assistance
The atmosphere around the confer
ence circles is full of all kinds of spec
ulation as to the final possible modifi.
cation Of clauses in the treaty with
Germany. 1t is claimed that Clemen-
ceau is the only one standing out for
no revision of the treaty and that vari-
Gus interests have influenced both
Lloyd George and President Wilson,
the Italian premier seeming to be non
committal. On Tuesday President
Wilson made an effort to get an agree
ment on the reply to the German coun-
ter proposals, but failed to accomplish
it before the meeting adjourned.
Vienna newspapers are responsible
for a statement issued yesterday that
the Austrian government has unani-
mously decided that the peace terms
submitted to them at St German, can
not be accepted. AS all of the terms
Of the proposed treaty have not yet
been transmitted to their delegates,
it is very probable that this statement
only has to do with general idea Of
the matter as it is viewed in the Aus
trian capital.
Reports also reach Paris that the
German minister of defense has visit
ed all the German ports and warned
the personnel of their defense system
to be prepared for every emergency,
Reports such as this are largely be-
lieyed to be propaganda by those who
are close to the situation. Another
phase of the question is a continua-
tion of the efforts started last Decem-
Der which looked to separate econ
omic treaty with the United States,
whereby this country would act as the
industrial guardian for them and on a
b sis of large profits frol materials
Supplied be allowed to participate IN
the reconstruction of German indus
tries. A former partner in the Ger
man Edison company suggests part
nership between the countries with
the United States as senior and con-
trolling partner. The Hun militarists
are also coming to the front with p
proposal that all the peace terms be
rejected and that another war with the
allies be brought on. These proposals
all come from the old general staff
and are fathered by the many general
officers now out Of job and who know
no peace pursuits.

OUR PUBLIC LIBRARY

Through the efforts of NJ. G. Carlisle,
state senator from Brookings county,
the Brookings Public Library has this
week received number of reports of
state officers, commissions and boards
that will be Of great interest to the
people who use the library. Miss
Evans, the librarian, is making an ef-
fort to obtain from the federal gov
ernment other public documents that
will add to the service that can be
derived from the use Of the reference
books that are on the library shelves.
The people of Brookings do not seem
to realize, as fully as they might the
advantage there is in having in the
city we'll supplied library and a will
ing librarian in charge who desires
to make the library render the great
est possible good to the community.
The Register hopes that the people
of the city will make greater use OF
the facilities that are at their disposal.

NAVY LANDS IN ENGLAND

The navy plane NC4 safely crossed
the Bay Of Biscay and the English
Channel last Saturday and landed in
the historic town Of Plymouth from
whence the Pilgrim Fathers set sail
in 1920 for the shores of the new land
where they hoped to find religious lib
erty. After leaving Lisbon the plane
was forced to land one hundred miles
north on account of engine trouble
and then proceeded to Ferrol, on the
north coast of Spain where Friday
night was passed. Leaving there early
Saturday morning she made the last
five hundred miles in less than seven
hours. The reception given by the
British was of the warmest and they
expressed great admiration for the
wonderful work of the airmen Of the
navy. The crew of the NC-4 hoped
that they would be permitted ito fly
the plane back to the United States
and wanted to try for the straight,
long flight across. This idea has been
decided against by Secretary of the
Navy Daniels, and the plane will be
taken apart and shipped home as
freight. This completes the trans-At
lantic flight, the first complete one
ever made, the record Of the world
Other flights will follow from time to
time, with more or less success and
several machines and aviators are now
in Newfoundland getting ready to try
for the straight flight for which the
London Daily Mail has offered the big
money prize.

APPOINTMENT DiSAPPRoVED

The appointment of c. A. Gullick
as county highway superintendent
made by the board Of county commits
sioners. has been disapproved, as will
be seen from the following letter re.
ceived by th. committee OF taxpayers
who circulated the petition against
said appointment and filed it with the
State Highway Commission:
May 29th, 1919
Chairman Taxpayers Committee
Brookings, S. ID.
My Dear Sir: Replying to your let
ter of inquiry will state that the ap.
pointment of Mr. c. A. Gullick for
Highway Superintendent, has been
disapproved by the State Highway
Commission for reasons set forth in
the petition and his application. copy
of which was attached
Yours very truly,
Peter Norbeck,
Chairman Highway Commission.
In conversation with several OF the
men who strongly opposed this ap-
pointment, it was seen clearly that
the same was not done for any per-
sonal reasons, but that the county
might have a technical expert in the
position and have the best roads pos
sible. From the language of the let
ter from Governor Norbeck, it Is evi-
dent that the application of Mr.. Gull
lick, made to the county board when
he applied for the job. was taken into
consideration by the commission in
acting on the protest. Several heavy
taxpayers in speaking of the matter
on Monday, said: when we are
spending big sums, let us have a big
man, one well qualified to do the
work" There seems to be no indica-
ton on the part of anyone to press
the candidacy of any person for the
place, but from all the talk about the
matter. it is evident that these taxpay-
ers are bound to have a technically
trained man to fill the po-
sition. The work to be done in Brook
ings county can be started at once,
much Of it is in getting the survey Of
the need of the county made. and a
man who knows roads, has vision of
the needs of the future and the de-
mands Of the present, is the only kind
of man who can give Brookings
county value received for her money.
