Believed Robbers Work
Of Organized G a n g

Aberdeen, Sept. 26.-Belief that
an organized band Of fur thieves Is
operating in South Dakota is ex-
pressed at the Aberdeen police sta
tion. A theft of furs and jewelry
Saturday night from a safe in the
Moe hospital of Sioux Falls, in which
the loss totaled more than 100000,
has been reported. Aberdeen police
have attempted to connect the Sioux
Falls theft with that Of the Buttolph
& Kurtz fur store in Aberdeen be-
lieved to have taken place Sunday
night.
Aberdeen police are working on
the theory that the robbers gathered
loot at Sioux Falls Saturday night,
came to Aberdeen for the theft of
the local fur store, in which loss OF
s11 900 in furs was reported, and
then travelled out to the twin ci-
ties.
Recalling events of Sunday night,
Aberdeen police have come to believe
that two patrolmen were lured away
from the scene of the robbery by a
pair of suspicious looking characters,
who Ioitered along Main street, one
going north eluding his shadowing
officer at the Milwaukee depot and
the other disappearing in the south
part of town after being followed by
second officer.

love CHILD" TO
GET A FORTUNE
UNKNOWN son GIVEN HALF OF
LUYTIES ESTATE.

St Louis, Sept. 26.-Miss Claire
Lademan, mother of George Hope
Luyties, 6-year-old son of Herman c.
G.Luyties, president of the Sanitol
Chemical company, who died last
Saturday, today told the story of her
romance with the millionaire. The
existence of second son was not
generally known until the will was
filed. 1t gives him half the estate.
which will run into millions. There Is
another son, Herman c. G.. Luyties.
Jr. Miss Lademan insists the older
son knew of the boy heir at all tim
es. Lawyers who have examined the
will say ii will stand in any court and
that the "love child" will get half the
estate
Miss Lademan says she knew Luy-
ties when she was 10 years old and
was frequiet visitor In his home un-
til she was Is, when she contracted a
marriage with Milwaukee man. Six
months later. thoroughly disillusion-
ed, she left her husband who refused
TO grant her divorce.
In 1914 she and her mother went
to Europe. They met Luyties there
and toured the chief cities with him.
In the course of several months she
discovered she was to become a moth
err Luyties promised to marry her
as soon as she could secure divorce.
He had been divorced by his wife
two years before.
Miss Lademan returned to the
nited States. Her baby was born in
San Francisco. Luyties visited her
there before the child was born and
made a special trip Immediately att
er its birth in the fall of 1915. Her
husband filed suit for divorce in Mil
waukee. She had returned to St.
Louis by that time and she and Luy-
ties were spending much of their
time together. Her husband was
granted a divorce in 1916 and she
and Luyties were to be married one
year later, to comply with Wisconsin
laws. Meanwhile she went to Asbury
park, where Luyties visited her fre'
quently. He told her he was worried
by some financial deals and begged
her to hold off their marriage until
he had solved the tangle.
She eventually tired of these pro-
misses and the delays and finally
went to Luyties' attorney, who assur-
ed her the boy would have a name
and be taken care of financially. Miss
Lademan admitted new interest had
come into her life; that she and Luy-
ties had run their course, but she was
determined the boy should be cared
for. The provisions of the will show
that Luyties had met all her de-
mands.

BIGGER STATE
LEVY IS COMING
BONUS BONDS WILL CAUSE IN
CREASE IN DUES OF TAN
PAYERS.

Pierre, Sept. 26.-Although the
state tax levy is always the smallest
part of the tax the people of the
state have to pay-school district
township, county and municipal lev
les being the ones that really put the
"crimp" in the taxpayers wallet
the people of South Dakota will prob
ably wonder what happened when the
next state levy is put before them.
This year the state levy totaled
one and siX-tenths mills, but should
the various departments levy the
same number of mills as this year,
when one mill was levied for the
state general fund, one-tenth of a
mill for bridge, sixty-five hundredths
of mill for the highway sinking
fund and five hundredths of a mill for
the land settlement fund, the total
state levy will total nearly three
mills. The people of the state will
then begin to wonder just what hap
pened and will find that the $4,000
900 bonds voted by the people them
selves for soldiers compensation is
responsible.
AS the bonds had not been sold
and there had been no Indebtedness
incurred at the time of making the
1921 levy no arrangements could be
made to take care of the interest on
these bonds for this year. The re-
suit is that next year the taxpayers
will be called on to pay two years OF
interest in the one levy.
According to figures hastily gotten
up by the state tax commission the
interest on the bonus bonds will cal
for a levy of about sixty-five hun
dredths of a mill for each year. Fol
the two years-1921 and 1922-this
would make the bonus bond levy
amount to one and thirty-hundredths
mills. This added to the levy this
year would make the total of two
and ninety-hundredths mills. But
the levy will be slightly higher thar
this year, not counting the bonus
bonds, for it is always the case tha
in legislative years the levy is al
ways higher, due to emergency ap
preparations and legislative expenses

UNEMPLOYMENT
CONF FERENCE
PRESIDENT HARDING MAKES OP-
ENING ADDRESS TO THE
DELEGATES.

Washington, Sept. 26.-All Amer
lea must commit itself to the solving
of the unemployment problem, Pres
ident Harding declared today at the
opening of the unemployment confer
ence. The president confidently pre-
dicted that the United States will
not fail in the task which he charac-
terized as an advance drive of peace.
All America has never failed when
committed to common cause, he
said After President Harding's ad-
dress and speech by Secretary of
Commerce Hoover, the first session
of the congress adjourned until
o'clock this afternoon. Both Hard
: ing and Hoover emphasized that the
situation must never be solved by
giving of government aims from the
public treasury. The president made
it very clear that the federal treas
ury must not be called on to relieve
the situation. He insisted that the
remedy lies in the cooperation of
capital labor and the public. Amer
lea, he said, is now suffering from a
war inheritance which was inevitable
and prompt mitigation is imperative.
Fundamentally sound, financially
strong, industrially unimpaired, COM
mercially consistent and politically
unafraid, there ought to be work for
everybody in the United States who
chooses to work, and our condition at
hnrna and nnr n1ona in the world
depends on everybody going to work
and pursuing it with that patriotism
and devotion which makes for hap
py people, Harding said. The pres
ent degree of unemployment, how
ever, cannot continue if our moral
and economic system is to survive,
he warned Hoover named a per-
manent committee to prepare a con-
ference program.

Candidates Hold Back
For Court Decision

Pierre, Sept. 26.--Several present
state officeholders who have been
seriously contemplating entering the
political arena next year for a sec
ond term, and some new material
about to take the leap, are withhold
ing the announcement of their candi-
dacy until after the decision OF the
special supreme court on the expense
allowance case arguments.
Most of these prospective candi-
dates admit that should the court
hold that they cannot receive an ad-
ditional expense salary, authorized by
the constitution, they will not enter
the race.
Present living costs, they assert
will not allow them to make such
financial sacrifice.

VETS AND DRYS IN
STUBBORN BATTLE
CLAst OVER BEER Bill KEEPS
SENATE IN CONFUSION.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 26.-Rad-
ical drys intent upon banning medi-
cinal beer and filibustering vets held
the senate at their mercy today and
again forced the vitality important
tax revision bill into the background
Senator Penrose, chairman of the
senate finance committee, after view
ing the fury of the contest over the
anti-beer bill for an hour or so,
abandoned his efforts to bring up
the tax measure and announced he
would make no further efforts until
Monday The drys flatly refused to
give way for the tax bill, and republi-
can leaders appeared powerless to
control the situation On the other
hand, the vets with their desks piled
high with filibustering material,
stubbornly refused to yield an inch
towards allowing the anti-beer bill
to go to a vote.
Senator Sterling prepared to make
a night of it in his efforts to wear
down the filibusters, realizing that
unless a vote is reached within the
next few days the anti-beer bill will
be relegated to one of the legislative
pigeonholes until the enormous pro-
gram of administration measures be-
fore the senate is cleared away. That
may mean delay of months, drys
fear.
Finally the senate grew tired of
waiting and adjourned at 1925.
Senator Stanley, of Kentucky, did
the bulk of the filibustering. He
kept the senate highly entertained by
speech in which he divulged the
interesting information that George
Washington was distiller; Benjamin
Franklin a home brewer nd Patrick
Henry barkeeper.
"The first organized OPT ,sition to
the hated tyranny of George the
Third was not in Boston hen they
hurled the tea int othe harbor, but it
was when James Otis defied the king
and 10000 men on Boston common
to do what the senator from South
Dakota (Mr. Sterling) proposes to
do now" said Mr.. Stanley.
I'VE are rewriting history these
days with remarkable rapidity, and
understand that they are going to
rewrite that part of our history which
deals with our relations with Great
Britain. We are going to find that
the English government has always
been our dear, tender, devoted friend
and protector, and that this talk
about ever having to fight with them
is ridiculous.
George Washington and the rest
of them were hot headed and indis-
Greet enough to break loose from a
dear indulgent mother and for that
reason we unfortunately became in
dependent, and if history is written
after that fashion, doubtless some
future historian will discover that
Washington was distiller, that
Franklin was berwer and that Pa
trick Henry used to stand behind the
bar"
when the future history is writ
ten," interrupted Senator Reed, OF
Missouri, perhaps our fight for free
dom will be referred to as "the
whisky rebellion.
''The rum rebellion-it infallibly
was" said Senator Stanley.
''Or the bootleggers' insurrection, >
suggested Senator Reed

Banking Situation
Is Much Better

Charlotte, N. c., Sept. 26.-Gloomy
forebodings of last winter with re-
spect to the banking situation are
no longer justified and can be dis
missed, Governor Harding of the
federal reserve board declared in an
address.
'The banking situation has great
ly improved" he said, 'and although
readjustment has not been complet-
ed, evidences are multiplying that
we have passed the most acute
stage" Governor Harding said that
in the immediate future much would
depend on agricultural developments
and the manner in which this years
crops were marketed.
