band played Nearer My God to
Thee" and the entire student body
stood about with barred heads, a doz-
en- violators of the overall club were
ducked in a tank of water on the
campus of the University of South

attend any more classes. The cele-
bration was marked by attention to
students who have failed to don the

overalls on all occasions, at social
functions particularly.
Speeches were made by LEADING
students and faculty members, and q

MOBR|DCE SITE
FOUND THE BEST
ENGINEERS REPORT ON LOCA-
TTON OF PROPOSED WATER
POWER PLANT.

Pierre, May 3.-The Hydro-Elec-
trio commission has received the re-
port of the engineers, Mead & Sea-
stone, of Madison, Wis, who were
employed to survey the Missouri
river for information as TO the feast
bility of water power development
in this state. The engineers report
Mobridge is the best one for imme-
diate development. and that power
could be developed there, at present
prices of construction, ETC., to sell for
1877 cents per kilowatt hour, or even
less if customers furnished the Sec
ondary transmission. At this point a
plant with 32-foot head could be de-
veloped at less first cost than any
other point on the Missouri.
After the power was fully sold from
mend that the second plant to be de-
veloped should be the one at Mule
head, which is above Platte, in south
eastern South Dakota.
The engineers estimate the cost OF
the Mobridge plant to be about So
103, 900 under present cost of condi'
tions. They estimate a transmission
system would cost about $7,044, 600
so that the total cost of plant anC
system would be about SIG, ,147 900.
The engineers report in brief, thai
in the extremely low water of 1919
the lowest ever known, the Mobridgt
plant would produce 10000 continu
Gus horsepower, and if half of L
could be marketed it would be dis
| tributed over the eastern part of tht
state and sold at 1877 cents, the state
supplying the entire transmission; i
all be sold, it could be supplied a
1875 cents per kilowatt hour.
The Hydro-Electric commission
will adopt the recommendations o
the engineers and will further rec
ommend that no development be un
dertaken until the question of bon'
issue be submitted to the people TO
approval.
The last legislature placed 5000
in the hands of the commission t
fsecure this report and the enterpris
has cost less than half that sum.

Dor, including that of the assistant
secretary, was defended by Jackson

was that he had Exercised humanity
and had proceeded on the theory thai
only in most exceptional cases should
man be torn from his family anG
sent from the country. Mr.. Ralstor
attacked the department of justice
asserting it's agents had used meth
DDS in, dealing with alleged radicals
that were not countenanced even il
Russia when the czarist regime was
at the highest pinnacle of its power
Representative Siegel. of New
York, republican member of the i'm
migration committee, declared tha
secrecy maintained by the department

was without precedent and withou
authority.

Cities of Black Hills
Stop Sugar Shipments

Pierre, May 3.-During the period
of the sugar shortage in the eastern
part of the state, Black Hills towns
supplied their customers in 100
pound lots at prices far below those
asked by eastriver merchants, who
weer doing it out in two-pound pack
ages.
On this account many residents of
the eastern part of the state patron
lied the Black Hills dealers, until
they reached point where they could
not always fill home orders, and this
has led to a decree from the Rapid
City Commercial club that the mer-
chants of that city should help out
home buyers first and not ship lc
eastern towns.
A number of purchasers, or would
| be purchasers from this city found
| that late orders would not be filed on
account of the dispute over home sup.
ply at Rapid City.

FUNERAL OF /. ].
MUNRO TODAY
REMAINS OF LATE BUSINESS
MAN LAID TO REST IN GRACE
LAND CEMETERY.

A large concourse of friends and
neighbors of the lately deceased IL.
j. Munro, whose remains reached this
city last evening, gathered at the
Presbyterian church at $3.50 p. m. to-
day to pay their last respects to a
well-known and respected citizen and
former successful business man,
whose untimely death occurred very
recently in California, whittier he had
gone in hopes of regaining health and
strength.
At 1880 the business places closed
their doors and their proprietors went
to the place of worship, where the
body of their former friend lay cold
in death, awaiting the final rites that
conclude a life of Usefulness.
In the absence of Rev. c. McKib-
bin, Rev. Torbert officiated in tho
presence of the immediate relatives
and large attendance from the Ma
sonic lodke, under whose auspices tha
funeral was conducted, and the East
ern Star.
Mrs. c. H. r. Hovde, Mrs. Harry
| Runchey, Mr.. f. j. Schueller and Mr.
H. H. Holdridge rendered the sacred
music for this sad occasion.
The floral tributes were beautiful
and of large variety. They filled th'
assembly room with a delicate per
fume that seemed to breathe a swee
incense over the departed.
Concluding the services at th'
church, the procession formed in this
order: First, the casket with 1T
escorts of brother Masons, next th'
+Masons in regular uniform, the ladies
of the Eastern Star, the relatives anc
finally the friends.
At the graveside the Masonic rite
were in use for burial. With thi
service over there passes from ou
midst one who stood high in tn
esteem of friends; one who struggled
against a disease that forced him t
give up active business life and re
pair to different climate for eve
life itself.

RECEIVES
D. K. Of THE DRYS
HE is REGARDED AS SUITABLE
TO ANTT-SALOON LEAGUERS.

Westerville, O., May 3.-Gov.
Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, is the
only presidential candidate so far
whom the Anti-Saloon League of
America has approved as suitable to
the prohibitionists.
In a statement given out tonight.
DR.. p. A. Baker, general superinten-
dent of the league, says after brief
review of Gov Lowden's record on
prohibition that prohibitionists con-
sistently "can support him if he is
nominated"
Senator Warren G.. Harding's pro-
hibition record is reviewed at con-
siderable length, but no definite
statement as to his acceptability or
non-acceptability is made.
Senator Harding, of Ohio, usually
votes with the drys, but always talks
for the wets," the statement says, and
adds:
when the eighteenth amendment
was pending in the senate, Harding
announced from the floor that he was
not a prohibitionist, that he failed tC
see it in moral question: and that
he favored compensation for the Ii
quor traffic. OF course any man who
favors compensating the liquor traf
fic would not be able to see in it 9
moral ISSUE"
The statement goes on to say thai
Harding voted for the eighteenth
amendment and the Volstead act, bu
voted against prohibition in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Senator Hiram Johnson, of Cali
fornia, the statement says, lis bein,
solidly supported by the liquor in
terests of California, not because o
any particular service he has render
ed them, but because he seems t
command the support of the discon
tented, and the liquor people just a
this time are very discontented," AM
also possibly because "a Sacramento
CAL, paper" has announced MI
Hoover's dry convictions.
II Commenting on Gov. Lowden, tn
statement says he was opposed TO
election as governor by many of tn
prohibitionists of Illinois, "but sine
his election ss governor he has bee
so eminently fair and friendly to tn
prohibition laws and their enforce
ment that prohibitionists consistent
can support him if he is nominated.
! The statement reiterates the pos
tion of the league as regards Go'
James M. Cox, of Ohio, and Gov. Ed
wards, of New Jersey, as announce
some time ago. by declaring that Go1
Cox is thoroughly wet" and ths
! Gov. Edwards is not really a cand
date, but simply running as sid
e partner to Gov. Cox in the hope {
accumulating some wet strength ths

that it would be only a question of
time until the family would have to
stop eating at present prices.
After the farmer had quieted down
the merchant suggested that they go
over the statement, and further, that
if the charges for gas and oil were not
larger than for, groceries the farmer
need not pay the bill
\ But when the items had been sep
arated, the bill was paid, and there
was not half so much discussion as
to the grocery prices, as the family
auto had evidently been "eatins
more" than all the rest of the family
combined.

CHEAP MONEY GIVES AUSTRIA CAUSE FUR

VIENNA. Aug 9-Only Americans of q generation ago who traded farm products at the crossroads store for ev- trything from shoes to sugar can realize the extent of barter in Austria today. With the country flooded with cheap money, the peasants stockings and bank accounts fat with currency and legislation impending for a compulsory levy on fortunes, the paper crowd vir- tually is spurned by those who produce the necessities of life.
