TYPHOID IS RAGING
IN FLOODED AREAS
LOWER MISSISSIPPI WATER 8
CONTINUE TO SPREAD OVER
VAST AREAS.

New Orleans, La, May 6.-Waters
from the Mississippi river and its
swollen tributaries continued to
spread over vast sections today, fur
-ther increasing the number OF refu-
gees in the flood areas. A case of
typhoid fever in the large refugee
camp at Harrisonburg, La, compli-
Gated matters there and physicians
today were inoculating every person
in the two colonies against the di-
sease.
Relief efforts were under way to-
day at Pointe A. La HacZ, south of
New Orleans, which was reached
yesterday by water from the Poydras
crevasse. About 500 refugees are
being cared for in a Red Cross
camp at Jackson barracks here.
A large crevasse, near Ferriday.
also was occupying relief workers to-
day, and reports from Concordia par
ish to the state commissioner of agri-
culture, said 100000 acres of grow
ing cotton has been destroyed there

LARGE ENTRY LIST
ms. D. STATE MEET
FULLY 800 ATHLETES EXPECT
ED TO COMPETE FOR HON.
ORS AT BROOKINGS
MAY 10.

Brookings, May 6.-Fully 800
South Dakota high school athletes
are expected to participate in the
official annual track and field meet
of the State High School Athletic
association on the State college field
May 10. Forty-three teams have al
ready signified their intention of en-
tering.
Last year the association had but
rs members while this year $50 high
schools have joined There were
230 men entered in last years meet.
If 800 or more are entered this year,
as the management expects, il
means that 16 or II points may be
enough to win the meet. In fact,
Coach West predicts that any team
which can make 13 points will take
first honors this year.
1t is quite possible that some good
man, such as Lindelkugei, of Spen-
Ger, may win the meet single hand
ed for his school. Rygar, of Brook
ings, last year made enough points
alone to win honors for his school.
Brookings was first in the 1921
meet, with Spencer and Sioux Falls.
respectively, second and third.
Brookings will have fair team this
yes but critics say not nearly as
good as last year, since they have
lost both Ryger and Sundet, who
between them, won 20 points. In
many other high schools the win
ners of last year have graduated.
Athletes, who in this meet tel or
break state record, will have their
expenses paid to Stages meet IN
Chicago. Winners of first, second
and third places get. respectively,
gold, silver and bronze medals. Win
ners of the meet get loving cup and
the team winning the relay gets a
cup.
Entries must be in the hands of
r. e. Rawlins, Pierre, secretary OF
the association, before May 8.

Peking, May 6.-Genel { Wu Pei
Flu entered Peking today and visited
the president, victorious saover the
Manchurian army of ChankITso Lin.
The commander of thu central
army assured the president that
there would be no interference with
the Peking government. He showed
the president number of kilograms

TAX REDUCTION
GREAT PROBLEM
MAY BE DIFFICULT TO CUT
TAXES WITHOUT AFFECTING
PUBLIC PROJECTS.

Pierre. May 6.-The assessors
have started on their annual rounds,
and If the generally expressed idea
in many localities is carried out
there will be a reduction in assess
ment figures on real estate, to a
point below what has been carried
for several years.
This plan of tax reduction may or
may not be effective. In taking dis
tricts where the levies have not
been up to the full legal allowance
it will not have any effect unless the
people are willing to forego some
of the expenditures for public pur-
poses which they have been securing
for years, as the levies will merely
be increased to meet the demand.
They could secure the reduction
without any change in valuations If
they so desired, but if they do not
hte levy will have to be increased to
meet the requirements.
In districts which have been carry
ing levies up to the legal limitations
there will be a reduction, but that
only by cutting off something which
they have been securing.
Their funds will be less than for
merly, and they will be limited in ex-
penditures to the amount on hand.

OIL DISCUSSION

BRITISH AND FRENCH STRUGGLE
FOR CONTROL OF WORLDS
OIL SUPPLY

Genoa, May GA struggle for
the control of the worlds oil sup
plies today widened the breach be-
tween the French and British dele
cations at Genoa.
At an economic conference, the
French announced their intention of
invoking a San Reno oil agreement
which would prevent the British
from negotiating separately from the
French to obtain all the oil conces-
sions in the former Turkish pro-
yinces.
This action followed the reports
which have been persisitently denied
that the British had negotiated a
secret agreement with Russia giving
them control of the oil fields in that
country,

WHEN REPORTED.

Washington, ID. c., May 6.-Sena-
chairman of the finance committee,
announcer in the senate today that
as soon as the soldiers bonus bill
was reported by his committee, it
would be given the right of way over
the tariff and hurried to its final
passage.
He expressed the opinion that
there would be little objection to
laying the tariff aside temporarily
and predicted the bonus bill would
be passed after several days debate.
The bill, in substantially the form
in which it passed the house, will be
again laid before President Harding
by Senator McCumber and Senator
Watson, of Indiana, at a conference
tomorrow. They will make a final
appeal to Mr.. Harding to give his
approval to the measure, which he
has already stated he would veto.

says, however, the committee has

MINE LEADER
SEES HARDING
SECRETARY DAVIS ARRANGES
TRIANGULAR CONFERENCE
WITH LEWIS AND THE
PRESIDENT.

Washington, May 6.-President
Harding gave his personal considera-
tion to the national coal strike
when he conferred at the executive
offices for two hours with John l..
Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers and Secretary Davis of the
department of labor.
Mr.. Lewis wit hthe approval of
Secretary Davis, said the discussion
had been upon certain fundamental
conditions in the industry" but be-
yond this nothing could be said.
The strike, from the union stand
point, he added, was developing
normally and without any breaks. -
The strike and its relation to the
general economic situation has been
considered at recent cabinet meet
ings and exhaustive studies of the
coal industry have been undertaken
in cooperation with leading corpor-
ate producers and operators associa-
tions by Secretary Hoover. Recent
white house suggestions have been
to the effect that the government
might have something to propose to
both miners and operators. Intima-
tions were given today that the la
Dor department in few days might
make public statement concerning
the strike. Actual participants in
the strike controversy, however, said
there was reason to believe the ad-
ministration would continue for the
present to maintain hands off,
policy.
President Lewis returned to New
York. tsf

Business Men To
Stimulate S a e s

Pierre, May 6.-The business men
of Philip have a plan to boost cream
buying at that place this year.
They will on certain day each
week, the date to be selected by lot,
pay three cents above the market
rate for cream.
Just what day of each week will
be selected will be selected by lot
each week, and will be announced.
This should stimulate not only the
production of cream in Haakon coun
ty, but also start more of the prod
uct to the Philip market, as the sal
es once started that way will con-
tinue, even though the extra price
is paid for only one day of the week.
