WO KILL Ed IN
CHICAGO LABOR WAR
NEW OUTBREAK OF IAWLESS-
NESS FOLLOWING LANDIS'
DECISION.

Chicago, May 10.-Two police
men were shot and killed and three
buildings were dynamited early to-
day in a new outbreak of Chicago
labor war.
Terror was spreading throughout
the west side as dynamiters hurled
bombs and fired volleys of shots.
Bombings and murders were attri-
buted by the police to the resent
ment of extremists against the wage
awards of Judge Landis who acted
as arbitrator in dispute between
building trades employees and con-
tractors.
Patrolman Thomas j. Clark was
riddled with bullets when he at
tempted to interfere as vandals
threw a bomb at factory.
Terrence Lyons, in charge of a
squad of policemen, was shot to
death and Joseph Moeller, patrol
man, wounded when they attempted
to halt suspicious gang in an au-
tomobile.

HARDING SUMMONS
RAIL EXECUTIVES
RATE SITUATION WILL BE TAX.
EN UP AT WHITE HOUSE DIN
NER ON MAY 20 NEXT.

Washington, ID. c., May 10.-Pres-
ident Harding has summoned l. of
the leading railroad executives of
the country, it was said today. to at
tend a dinner at the White House
May 20 for the purpose of discussing
the rate situation. 1t is understood
the president will ask the transpor-
bility of adjusting railroad freight
rates downward as a voluntary mat
ter, because the interstate commerce
commission membership is said to
have concluded that it cannot legal
ly compel reductions to an extent
satisfying to sections of public and
business sentiment.
Two semi-judicial government bo-
dies have jurisdiction in railroad
regulation, the railroad labor board,
as well as the commerce commission,
in the fixing of wage rates which en-
ter into operating expenses. Presi-
dent Harding. however, is said to
have concluded, as he did last fall.
that the executives might be of some
service in dealing with the problem.
The commerce commission has
had for weeks in it's chambers dis
cussion over the decision to be reach
ed by it in the general investigation
of transportation rate levels. This in
vestigation was instituted last No
vember and continued throughout
the winter.
President Harding has been told
that the commission in adjusting rat
es is obliged to give reasonable re-
turn" by edict of law to capital in
vested in necessary railroads under
efficient and economic management
and that this requirement ties the
hands of the commission in at.
tempting to lower rates.

BOOZE PEDDLER
EVADES POLICE
HURON MAN BREAKS AWAY
FROM OFFICERS AND MAKES
HIS ESCAPE.

Huron, May 10.-Police officers
are hunting for Jack Neville. alleg-
ed bootlegger of devil hootch," a
brand of homemade liquor which it
is alleged carries a Doctors bill in
every drinka nd a death or two in
every quart.
Neville, according to reports, has
been warned several times by Man
ager George w. Tyler, to keep out
of the Marvin Hughitt with his stuff.
He was seen there and ordered out,
but later again discovered in the
basement and the police were noti-
fled. Officers Fisher and Tuyl re-
sponded, took Neville into custody
and were taking him to the city hall
for safe keeping until he could be
brought before the court, when he
broke away.
Dashing around the rear of the
city hall, it is alleged he threw the
bottle of moonshinet he was carry
ing against the building, breaking
the bottle and spilling the levi
dence" beyond recovery. One of the
officers fired shot into the air, but
this only served to hasten his speed.
and with both officers after him, he
cut across yard in the rear Of the
Jail and disappeared.
Officer Van Tuyl, too intent on
watching the prisoner to take care
full note of his surroundings. brought
his adams apple in such close and
violent contact with a clothesline,
that he was temporarily laid out
and Neville is still listed among the
missing and unaccounted for"

ed the people. on the little plat of
land with an iron hand. 1t is said
that they have resorted to burning
homes of settlers who were located
on the island who were opposed to
their method of obtaining a living.
The still itself was not captured
but 12-burner stove used to brew
the mash was found and destroyed.
One of the Beebe brothers, when
captured, had wagon load of jugs
which it is thought he was bringing
to the site of the still in preparation
for the next illicit output.
In passing sentence on the two
men Judge Davis told the prisoners
that if they made any trouble or
caused any harm TO residents of the
island because of their capture he
would send them to the penitentiary.

DR.. SpaffOrd's Books
To State University

Vermillion, May 1O.-The large
and valuable medical library of the
late DR.. Frederick A. Spafford, of
Flandreau, for many years mem
ber of the state regents of education
has been presented to the school of
medicine of the University of South
Dakota.
The books have already arrived
at the university and are now being
unpacked. There are about 1.400
volumes of general medical litera-
ture, including many sets of vaIu-
able reference works. Besides there
are many unbound medical and elm
ical publications.
DR.. Spafford died on March 3, OF
the present year. He had expressed
the wish that his medical library
be given in it's entirty, without con-
dition, to the university and his de-
sire has been carried out by Mrs.
Spafford.

RICHARDS LAW IN
GREAT D|SFAVOK
MEMBERS OF NEXT LEGISLA-
TURE EXPECTED TO TAKE
OUT MORE OF THE KINKS.

Pierre May 10.-While members
chosen until at the November cleo
tions there is every indication over
the state that the Richards primary
law of this state is going to come
in for some rough usage at the
hands of the next session. From the
comments being made in the press
of the state, especially by the coun-
try weekly editors, the people of
South Dakota have about reached a
point where they will demand that
something be done to put in a more
workably primary and one that will
not keep the state in constant tur-
moil between general elections.
While the law was initiated by
the people. and while the majority of
legislators in the past have thought
that being an initiated act it was up
to the people to undo what they had
done through the initiative, the last
legislature was not above putting
the knife to the act and cutting out
some of the most objectionable .fea
lures, including the so-called post
master" primary, the publicity pam
phlet and the endorsement of ap-
pointing officers by the central COM
mittee.
This sets a precedent for other
legislatures to again make a pairing
of the law which will do away with
some of the more objectionable and
expensive features, as they are now
being considered by a large number
of the voters of the state. The news
papers are asking for a new law in
many cases, others want certain
notifications, few want no pri-
mary at all, and still fewer want
to law to remain as it is.
One of the big objections to the
act is the number of proposal meet
ings that have to be held. Beginning
early in the wall before an election
year there is first the precinct meet
ing at which delegates are chosen to
the county proposal meeting held la
ter, and at which the delegates to
the state proposal meeting are NAM
ed. The state proposal meeting is
then held and the county proposal
body has to meet again to endorse
the action of state meeting and
name candidates for county office.
Then comes the primary. The eff
feet of these numerous meetings and
elections has been to keep people,
especiall warmers whose time is lin
tied, from taking an interest in po-
litical matters, say leading political
leaders of all parties in the state.
The law also makes it possible
for five objectors to the action of a
proposal meeting to start ticket
of their own, while there is plenty
of latitude for Independent candi-
dates to also get into the game.
The expense is great. though the
legislature of 1921 cut out some OF
the expensive things.

I RADE AND
INDUSTRY IMPROVING
BANKER OPTIMISTIC AFTER A
TOUR OF MIDWEST AND PA.
CIF1C COAST.

Chicago, May 1O.-Gradual bet
terment in trade and industry has
become general all over the country,
according to the observations of
George M. Reynolds, chairman of
the Continental and Commercial
bank, who has just returned from a
three-months' tour OF inspection of
the Pacific coast and the middle
west
THE marked improvement in the
agricultural situation is the basic
event in the increased activity of
business generally" said Mr.. Reyn-
olds. "The appreciation in value OF
the products of the farms has not
only helped the farmer materially.
bnut it has heartened him. / have
always maintained there could be no
great progress in our general situa-
tion until conditions improved for
the farmer
Unfortunately, conditions are not
mending so rapidly in Europe. A re-
gretable featufe of our foreign trade
last year is that we attracted too
much gold and received payment ros
too small proportion of our ex-
ports in the international exchange
of credits. Our net gold imports
last year ofg $667 100000, consti-
tuted an addition to our supply
which we did not need, and depri-
walton of Europe of gold sent to us
last year alone. it would now make
possible an approach to a restora-
tion of gold basis for currency and
it is only through the effort to re-
store a gold basis that Europe can
hope to regain confidence and pros
perity."

Fine Parents
In Curfew Case

Pierre, May 10.-As a result of
the new curfew ordinance In Lem
mon the parents of four children
who violated the ordinance were
called into court and fines of SIS
and costs assessed in each case.
This kind of enforcement carries
with ii the idea that the parents
themselves have something to do
with the carrying out of the regula-
tion, and also carries home the point
that it is felt that there is some
thing more than merecollection of
words in such an ordinance.

GET BIG STILL
NEAR WHEELER
ABOUT 75O GALLONS OF MASH
FOUND--ALLEGED BOOT
LEGGERS SENTENCED

Sioux Falls, May 10.-Federal dry
agents of the local prohibition en-
forcement office returned to Sioux
Falls yesterday from Wheeler,
where they arrested Chester and
George Beebe and confiscated what
is claimed to be the largest moon
shine still ever taken in South Da-
kota.
The two men arrested are broth
ers. They were captured ON Beebe
Island few miles from Wheeler and
taken to Burke, s. D., where they en-
tered a plea of guilty to the charges
against them and were sentenced to
term of six months in the county
jail and to pay fine of $500 each.
Sentence was pronounced by Judge
Davis.
In the raid about $50 gallons OF
mash were seized and part of what
is believed to be gigantic still, TAX

completely surprised the two men
and took them into custody without
any trouble.
Working with the two Beebe
brothers were two Canadians and
three negroes. They were not on the
island at the time of the raid and
will probably not be prosecuted by
the federal authorities. The "Beebs

Sioux City Live stock.

Sioux City, May 10.--The crest
remained the same at $10.50, and
enough sales were made at s1O.35
to bring the upper end of the bulk
to that mark. The quality was pret-

More sows are coming each day.
Loads that sell with the sows in ma
turally look low on paper. but some
times they figure high. The out
sows sold at 1925 and $3.50. Stays
brought mostly $7.750 and SITS.
The pig market was about steady.
The sellers wanted $11.00 for their
gest natives. and most of the buyers
were trying to get them at $l0-50.
They compromised at $10.75.
