The state educational department
states that the decision not only de-
cides the matter for the Hayti dis
trict, but also affects in greater or
less degree the consolidated school
plans of the towns of Groton, Kim
ball, Pukwana, Wakonda, Toronto,
Faulkton, Bonesteel, Fairfax, Can
ming, Lane, Erwin, Worthing, Reli-
ance, Oacoma, Vivian, Presho. Mont
rose, Spencer, Humboldt. Baltic, Gar
retson, Cotton, Gettysburg, Fort
Pierre and Hurley.
This will no doubt mean a flood of
validating acts to be presented to the
special session of the Legislature, and
an amendment to the consolidated
school law to eliminate the trouble
found in the present law under the
holding of the supreme court in the
Hayti case.

British Warships
Fire on Turks

Constantinople, June 9.-British
warships opened fire on nationalist
positions near TouZla on the Sea of
Marmora. 3S miles west of Ismad,
late Friday night.
Constantinople was aroused by the
heavy firing of the guns of the Brit
ish warships. The nationalists had
approached close to the British en-
trenchments along the Gulf of Ismad,
where many British units are sta
toned to protect the troops guarding
the railway.
The collapse of the sultan's troops
leaves the British alone to defend the
railway terminals opposite Constah-
tinople. Many Armenian and Greek
refugees have entered Ismad after es-
Gaping from the nationalists.

of the bureau of animal industry,
Washington, who has been in this
state several days on the matter of
tuberculosis eradication, said of the
work in this state as conducted by
the state and federal officers in
charge:
South Dakota has a fine start in
accredited herds work, but it is to
be regretted that the work is now
practically at a standstill owing to
lack of funds.
Your state has more cattle than
any of the group of northwestern
states extending from the Dakotas to
the Pacific.
"This important cattle industry
should be recognized with sufficient
state appropriation to take care OF
this work. There is already large
waiting list of breeders who wish to
place their herds under supervision
to be accredited.
with the start that has been
made and the interest being shown
i'm the northwest states, bovine tuber-
cliosis~ should be eradicated in this
area in from five to ten years, de-
pending upon the available funds to
push the work.
eff this can be accomplished II Will
mean free movement OF cattle in
tersfate without requiring test for
shipment.

The complete story of his capture
who tied him to tree and, after APP
plying lash, club and the butt of re-
volyer, put him on train and told
him never to show his face in the
South again, was told to THE New
York HERALD yesterday by Peter Nc
Mann of 14s Elm street, Yonkers.
1t was supplemented by the narra-
tive of Miss Florence Powell, daughter
of James Powell retired South Caro-
lima banker. She saw McMann carried
off by the knights of the white mask,
and has come to New York to plan
with him legal action against his as
sailants.
McMann, who is SO years old. is
white haired and rudy faced. the pic
ture of the old time English born fam
lily coachman. which he is. He says
that years ago he guided the
broughams of Charles II. Pearsall,
vice. president of the Manhattan Bank,
and George 7. Bliss; Levi p. Mortons
partner, and at another period had
charge of the stables at Clyde Park,
Broollline, Mass. When the motor dis
placed the horse he .c@rned to drive
an automobile.
For the last two years he has been
chauffeur for Mr.. Powell and Miss Powell.
The banker is seventy-five years old and
blind. Some of his relatives have been
trying to have him declared legally in
competent. Miss Powell has been re-
sisting and also fighting for possession
of property which she says is withheld
from her. McMann has taken her side.
This, they agree, is the reason he was
seized on the night of October IS,
flogged until his senses We're numbed
and then eXiled from the South.
Two warrants Issued.
McMann has a fresh scar on the side
of his head. above the left temple, and
others on the back of the head. He
walks stiffly. He says his back is still
crisscrossed by welts made by a whip Of
many lashes while he was bound to q

the glare of his tormenters two automo-
biles. Arriving in Philadelphia on October
