RECALLS NAMES OF !
PIONEER CITIZENS
J.,,H.e Galbraith, Writing In
Columbus Dispatch; Tells
s@g ao' OF Mt..,sYerlaniolnn Ylai i. Men len. y -.

]. H. Galbraith In his column In the
Columbus Dispatch, ,emtitled. "Short
Stories of The Buckeye State" had a
very interesting article Wednesday
evening, entitled Half A Century
Ago." in which he discussed such
names as John G. Thompson, Col. w.
C. Cooper and General George w.
Morgan, pioneer citizens of Mt. Yer
non, and well Remembered by the old
err residents of the city.
The Galbraith article follows:
HALF A CENTURY AGO
Exactly fifty years ago the Sixtieth
General Assembly had just organized
and was. getting under way. With 1t
Edward +. Noyes came into the office
of governor and Jacob Mueller as lieu,
tenant governor presided over the
senate On the senate side, no one In
the membership list survives, though
several have died only recently. A.
r. Brismade, who came from Cuyaho-
ga county, and was then a young man
died only q fewnyeursf ago, and J. o.
Amos, who represented the 10th dis
trict, has more recently passed away
The senate roll carried an unusually
large number of noted names, such as
M. A. Daugherty, Alphonso Hart
James w. Newman, later secretary OF
state, A. w. Patrick, John Putnam
John G.. Thompson, for many years a
Democratic leader of the state, and
Thomas l.. Young, later elected lieu
tenant governor with General Hayes
and succeeding to the governorshir
when Governor Hayes went to the
White House.
But on the house side, there was q
member who is living still. The ser
vice was rendered so long ago that II
| is not generally known that Charles
! p. Taft of Cincinnati was once a mem
ber of the Ohio house. He must have
been very young man then. The
uOuSc ldu tuch lhC OllSO VI
reporter and to that position II. G.
Orebaugh of Columbus, who has only
recently died, was elected, and the
position of third assistant sergeant-at
arms was given to Frederick Blenk
ner, who was already a veteran IN
that service. and who Is still living Al
hisahome In Columbus. Nelson II. Var
Vorhes, later prominent member o
congress, was the speaker and in the
membership list appeared such we'll
known names as Joseph Bradbury. af
terward judge Of the supreme court

Corn Conditions
Nearing Close

Mitchell, Jan. 1.-THE campaign
for free corn for the benefit of the
Near East Relief corporation in South
Dakota is nearing an end, according
to Mrs. Grace Reed Porter, state
chairman of the organization.
Practically every county in the en-
tire state has been organized and the
majority of them already have contri-
buted their share.
Beadle county was the last to be
organized and a unique method OF OBJ
tanning the corn was hit upon in HUI
ron. The plan adopted calls for the
purchase of 5000 bushels of corn
from the Beadle county farmers, ap-
proximately a bushel for every citi-
zen in Huron, and the donation of
an equal amount by the Beadle coun-
ty farmers.
Mrs. Porter, who has maintained
headquarters in Mitchell, will now
organize Dawson county, practically
the last to be worked. and she ex-
poets to get an immediate response
from farmers and citizens alike In
her effort to raise the county quota.

PLAN To SINK
OLD MENO'WAR
THE KENTUCKY is LIKELY TO
BE FIRST ONE TO BE JUNK
ED AS PIE RTREATY.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Suggestion
to be scrapped under the naval pro-
gram be escorted to sea by the Allan
tic fleet and sunk with flag flying
and full naval honors, have been re-
ceived with approval by high naval
officials. While no definite plan for
the scrapping of the ship will be un-
dertaken, at least until the treaty
has been, signed, it was, indicated
such ceremony probably would be
included.
A veteran of the navy would be
selected, it was said, If the plan was
adopted. The oldest of the second
line battleships is the Kentucky, first
commanded May Is, 1900, and which
went out of commission May 20,
1920.
If the ceremony is carried out it
seems likely that the Kentucky
would be the shipm designated to re-
ceive these honors, intended to repre-
sent the pride of the navay and of the
American people in the work done
through the years by all of the old
'battIeships that are to be destroyed.
The. Oregon is an older ship and
the only veteran of actual battle in
the Spanish-American war on the
battleship list. She has long been
stricken from the roll of active or
second line craft however, and is
carried on the unclassified list along
with such veterans as the sailing
frigates Constitution and Constella-
tion. the old Corvette Hartford, once
Admiral Farraguts flagship. The old
Iowa, built in 1898, also is on this
list and is a vetran of the Spanish
American war, but is now used as a
target ship under radio control 1t is
expected that provisions will be made
for the retention of the Oregon as an
historic relic, and of the Iowa and
the old Indiana for experimental pun
poses.
1t would be the purpose to make
this ceremonial sinking as impressive
as possible. Probably the ship would
be kept intact, painted and her brass
work shined and put to sea on hel
last trip under her own power. At the
selected point, she would be dressed
with signal flags, and with her battle
emblems flying from her masthead
her stacks would be opened and al
she sank. the fleet would fire the
salutes and the national salute of q
guns, in honor of the passing of q
loyal comrade.

COURT RULING HITS
DAKOTA DRY LAW
HOLDS FACTS MUST BE
CITED BEFORE A PLACE CAN
BE SEARCHED BY OFFICERS.

Mitchell, Jan. 17.-If ruling
made Saturday by Judge Frank b.
Smith in circuit court Is upheld by
the state supreme court the South
Dakota prohibition enforcement law
will be dealt body blow which will
almost put it out of business. Judge
Smith, in making his ruling, held that
it is unconstitutional to permit a
place to be searched merely on Gin
formation and belief" He declared
that under the law of the state facts
must be cited" before search and
seizure warrant may properly be is
sued.
The Smith ruling was made in the
case of Frank b. Kieffer, of White
Lake, young farmer, who was
charged with manufacturing moon
shine liquor. Two state sheriffs raid
ed Kieffer's place, seized a quantity
of mash and a copper still In his
motion, made by Donald Fellows, of
Plankinton, his attorney, Kieffer ask
ed that the deputy sheriffs making
the raid be cited for contempt of
court because they had turned the
liquor over to the federal prohibition
authorities. This latter part of the
motion Judge Smith denied. but the
first part was granted by the court,
who. ordered the return of the confis-
Gated goods. Inasmuch as the appar-
atus In question has been turned ov-
er to the federal officers, it is not
likely that the state officials will obey
the courts order.
Miller and Mitchell, attorneys Tor
the anti-saloon league, appeared in
court to oppose Kieffers motion and
gave notice after the court ruled that
the case probably would be appealed
to the state supreme court at once.
