CATIONS OPPOSE INCREASES

Pierre, Sept. 29.-The question OF
freight rates in this state was up be-
fore the state railway commission
again last week on petition OF the
railway companies for modifica-
ton of the proposed rate for num-
Der of commodities within the state,
which was suggested by the state
railway commission at former
hearing on intrastate freight rates.
This tentative rate covered among
other specific commodities fuel rates
cattle rates, and in fact quite a
schedule, which was not granted at
the amount asked by the railway
companies, these tentative rates TO
90 into effect unless the companies
entered a petition for further hear
ing upon them.
Having asked for the hearing rep
resentatives of the different roads
appeared and insisted that the intra-
state rates must be raised to meet
the necessities of the situation, and
that under the proposed rates South
Dakota would be lower than any ad'
Joining state. The shippers asso'

SOUTHDAKOTA
MAN IS ELOPER
RUNS AWAY WITH HIS EMPLOY
ER'S WIFE FROM SIBLEY,
IOWA.

Sibley, Ia, Sept. 29.-Mere apron
strings led to the apprehension and
arrest of Mrs. John De Berg, "a wife
of John De Berg, prominent farmer
of Sibley, and Giret Decker, farm
hand on the De Berg place, who
eloped August 4. Payne Rather,
lawyer, found the elopers at North
field, Mimi, on the Carleton college
farm. They were living as man and
wife, Rather alleges. Chris, the B.
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. De
Berg, was with them. He is now
in the care of his father.
Mrs. De Berg and Decker are in
the Rice county Jail, Northfield, fac
ing charges of adultery, to come be-
fore the grand jury which convenes
in November. Decker had nothing to
say except to deny that he and Mrs.
De Berg were living together as man
and wife. They were found to be
living in one room. They had as
sumed the name of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Decker and it is said told neigh
bors they had been married five
years.
A letter written by Mrs. De Berg
to her sister, Martha Voogt. of Little
Rock, requesting that aprons be sent
her, gave the clew which led to the
arrest Miss Voogt turned the letter
over to the lawyers office, and Rat
ner, acting as sleuth and attorney,
set out in search of the couple.
De Berg will institute divorce pro-
ceedings, Rather says. Rather de-
scribes the past home life of Mr.. and
Mrs. De Berg as lcongenial. She has
had money, a car, and kind mate.

DECIDES uA|QUE
VOTE QUESTION
ATTORNEY GENERAL IN RULING
ON CERTAIN CLASS WOMEN
VOTERS-DAMAG CASE
OPINION.

Pierre, Sept. 29.-The equal suf-
frage move has brought a new sub
ject to be settled, and the attorney
general has been asked to define the
status of certain women voters.
In the case at issue a resident OF
this state is in Washington in federal
service but retains his voting resi-
dence in this state. Since going tc
Washington he has married, his wife
being former legal resident of an
other state, and the issue to be set
tied, is the right of the wife to vote
in South Dakota.
Under the South Dakota law, a
voter absent from the state on elec-
tion day has the right of voting by
mail, and the question of the voting
residence of the wife in such cases Ii
raised
The holding of the attorney gen.
eral is that under the general law
the residence of the wife follows thai
of the husband and that il the wife
is properly registered as a voter in
this state she had the right of voting
as this state is assumed to be hel
home.
Some of the legal lights of The
state hold that the wife may hold Q
different voting residence than thai
of her husband IL she so desires, but
the attorney general holds as above.
This is an issue which will ne
doubt cause more or less discussion
before it is settled.
Another issue in which the attor.
ney general has been called upon fol
ruling is covered in the rights of 9
school board to compel deposit Il
reimburse the board for destruction
or damage to free text books.
One school board adopted a res
olution that il parents refused to pu
up deposits for such damages tina
the pupils from such family shoult
be debarred from school privileges
until the order was complied with.
This the attorney general holds
cannot be legally done; that th'
state provides for compulsory edu
cation, and provides free text books
and while districts may provide b.
some method for reimbursement TO
books destroyed or damaged, the,
cannot make expulsion from schoo
one of the penalties for failure or re
fusal on the part of the parents t
put up the deposit asked.

BASE BALL
GAMBLING SCANDAL
INDICTMENTS In CHICAGO TO-
DAY-WHAT THE PLAY
ERS SAY.

Chicago, Sept. 29-Three gamblers
will be indicted today on charges of
conspiracy in connection with the fix
ed 1919 world series by the Cook
County grand Jury, which yesterday
indicted eight members of the White
Sox ball club. Assistant States At
torney Replogle refused to disclose
the names, but said none are now in
Chicago. He declared three other
ball players, none of whom are con-
nected with the White Sox, will also
be indicted No umpires are sus-
pected, he said. John Heydler, pre-
sident of the national league, said he
would present evidence to the grand
jury that an entirely different clique
of gamblers has operated in the ma
tional league Heydler said the ma
tional league gamblers did not pay
any fixed sums to players, but gave
crooked players one-third of their
winnings for throwing the games.
Joe Jackson, one of the White Sox
players, who confessed, told the
United Press today, that the White
Sox played honest baseball all this
year. 1--WE did everything We could
to win the pennant," Jackson said.
las far as / know none of the play
ers had anything to do with gamblers
this year. Jean Debuc, former
pitcher for the New York Nationals,
now with the Toledo American as
sociation club, was ordered to appear
before the grand jury October a. De-
buc may know something of gambl-
ing in the National league. The
states attorney said, Eddie Cicotte,
first of the White Sox players to
make clean breast of the conspir-
acy to throw the last world series to
Cincinnati, hurriedly left Chicago to-
day. Presumably for his Michigan
farm.

VOTERS ALREADY
TAKEN POSITION
APPARENT APATHY is EXPLAIN
ED-GOVERNORSHIP DEBATES
ENLIVEN.

Pierre, Sept. 29.-The feature of
the campaign in this state the past
few days has been the series of joint
debates between w. H. McMaster,
the republican nominee for COVER
nor, and w. w. Howes, the dem
ocratic candidate.
One of the beauties of this is
shown in the reports of the outcome
of the meetings. Democratic papers
are certain that Howes put up an un-
answerable argument, and the repub-
lican papers are just as certain that
the owes talk was all bunk, and that
McMaster was the only one who said
anything worth considering, and the
voters who gathered were more in
terested in any verbal points made
by the speakers than they were in
any views of political affairs of the
state or the country.
Another feature is the continued
apathy so far as it is shown by any
talk or discussion to be heard on
trains, and the assurance of party
headquarters that it is hard to get
the voters interested. This is possi-
bly, due to the fact that most of the
voters have decided what they are
going to do, and that they are not
looking for any arguments along
that line.
Possibly the view was pretty well
expressed by farmer, one of the
few who even mentioned politics,
when he said
when the league of nations idea
was sprung it looked good to me, and
have been putting in some time in
reading what I could secure on it
from all sides, and have complete
ly reversed, and am dead against the
idea and anyone who supports it..
This nation doesn't want to be plac-
ed in a position where it is compelled
to take a part in the continued
brawls of Europe, and had better
keep out of them"
One disquieting feature as express
ed by old party leaders is the num-
ber who are joining the nonpartisan
league in the southern part of the
| state. That organization has put out
bunch of high pressure statesmen"
some of whom have been engaged in
stock selling schemes, and are out
for something to take the pick OF

while many of them will vote the

rendered any political rights by theil
