SIOUX FALLS, S. D., March 26.-
President Coolidge held his majority
of 1000 votes. over Senator Hiram
Johnson in the republican presidential
preference in the first additional re-
turns received today from the state
wide primary in South Dakota Tues
day.
When 6S4 precincts had reported
out OF the revised total of apprnxi-
nately 1925 in the state, the Fresi-
dent had a lead of 2,079 votes, the
count standing: Coolidge, 24,S67, and
Johnson. 22,7SS.
In the contest for the senatorial
nomination Gov. w. H. McMaster
continued TO lead Senator Thomas
Sterling. 662 precincts giving the
governor 26,1S5 and Sterling 21,445.
Lead Is Cut Down.
Gained largely through the city
vote in the southeastern part of the
state, the lead was reduced by re-
ports early today from heavy John
son counties, and rural precincts in
the central and northeastern parts
were expected by Johnson workers
to cut deeper into the Coolidge lead.
Coolidge workers, answering the
claim of Johnson managers that the
Californian had won by 10000 ma
jority, insisted the western part of
the state and more nearly complete
returns from the southeastern sec
ton would enable the President to
hold his lead.
Meanwhile the majority of Gov. w
H. McMaSter over Senator Thomas
Sterling for the republican senatorial
nomination had grown to more than
S,400 early today, apparently assur-
ing the governors nomination, which
was Claimed by the Sioux Falls Press.
Victory for McAdoo.
On the democratic ticket, only
scattered and incomplete returns
were, available, but the state head
quarters of~tffe party at Huron,
backing the majority column filings,
declared William G.. McAdoo had OBJ
tanned the presidential Endorsement.
He was opposed by a faction seeking
to send an uninstructed delegation
to the national convention.

Attorney General Daugherty and
Senator Lodge, republican leader,
conferred with President Coolidge to-
day, but White House officials said
their conferences were separate and
that the republican leaders confer

situation. Mr.. Daugherty said mis- con-
ference was about routine matters"
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,.
the republican Senate leader, who
prior to the beginning of the Senate
inquiry urged the President to re-
quest Mr.. Daugherty's resignation,
conferred with the Executive just
before the Attorney General saw Mr..
Coolidge.
Senator Lodge on leaving the Pres
idents Office stopped in one of the
other offices and this led to the sup
position that he ands the Attorney
General were in joint conference with

BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. March 26.-Capt.
William V. A. Jacobs. divisional
commander of the coast guard, to-
day disclosed plans for mobilizing
a dry Navy of sixty-five armed
vessels and 500 men, which, he de-
clared. would scatter the far
famed New YorkNew Jersey coast
rum fleet before the years end.
He said he would assign a de-
stroyer, cutter or speed boat,
equipped with one-pounders and
machine guns, as a day and night
guard over vessels on Rum row
These craft will stand by the
liquor runners from the time they
drop anchor off the row until
even If it takes months-the skip
pers of the rum feet give up in
disgust and sail away. he asserted.
No boat of any kind will be per-
mitted to communicate with the
rum fleet, said Capt. Jacobs.

PUTS BONUS COST
AT S3,a)D,0l0,0lD
Legion Actuary's Figures Civ
en- Senate Committee Are
Compromise.

a new estimate on the cost of the
soldier bonus bill passed by the
House-s3. 500, ,oo0, ,eo0-was presented
to the Senate finance committee today
by the actuary of the American Legion
Herbert Hess.
This figure is a compromise be-
tween the cost of $3.50, 900, 900 esti-
mated by Joseph Mccoy, government
actuary, and s2,119,00O,000 estimated
by II. T. Brown, Veterans Bureau
actuary.
Hess like brown, argued the cost
of the paid-up insurance policies to
the government would not have to
include interest on funds advanced
by the government to purchase the
policies.
These funds, he said, would take
the form of direct appropriations.
Mr.. Mccoy insisted the government
would be taking the money from one
pocket to put it in another and there
fore it would have to account for in
trest in figuring the cost of the bonus.
Committee Divided.
Chairman Smoot, although defend
ing the argument of Mccoy, said the
committee was divided as to the
was some difference of opinion among
the three actuaries as to the number
of veterans entitled to the bonus and
the average length of their service.
Army and Navy officials have been
asked to present these data to the COM
mittee tomorrow
Meanwhile, the committee again re-
sumed consideration of the revenue
~n4r a
administrative provisions Senator
Reed, republican, Pennsylvania, serv-
ed notice he would offer. an amend
ment to make interest received from
tax-exempt securities taxable. This
will again open the fight against tax
exempt securities. Chairman Smoot
said he believed it would be impossi :
BILE to tax these securities without a
constitutional amendment, which al
ready had been defeated by the House.
The committee Withhold another
session tonight
Representative Green, republican,
Iowa, chairman of the House ways
and means committee. which framed
the bill, and Senator walsh of Massa-
chusetts, a democratic member of the
finance com mnittee. issued statements
assailing the estimates of Joseph Nc
Coy, Treasury actuary, after the COM
mittee meeting yesterday.
Points Ont "Error..,
Pointing out a series of "funda-
mental and glaring errors" Mr.. Green
declared 'the Treasury estimates on
the cost of the bonus are wrong, as
usual"
Senator Walsh said the theory on
which Mr.. Mccoy based his estimates
was absurd" and asked IL 1t was
another attempt to juggle figures on
the cost of the adjusted compensation
bill and to attempt to mislead the
Congress and the people of the Unit
ed States?"
Explaining the means by which he
arrived at his estimates, Mr.. Mccoy
told the finance committee that he
had figured the government would
have to pay interest on all money ap-
propriated to pay for the insurance
policies under the bonus bill.
Would Invest Funds.

tuary, who figured the cost of the
insurance alone would amount to only
$2.025, 100000, and which figure was

DYED FISH FOUND
BY CAPITAL DEALER
Fowler Orders Check-Up of
Salmon SuppIy-Not Held
Dangerous.

Chemists of the District health de-
partment today found that a sample
of red salmon obtained from a local
aniline dye.
AS soon as the report of DR.. T. NJ.
Price. chief chemist, became known,
Health Officer Fowler directed his
food inspectors to get samples of
all red salmon being sold in Wash
ington.
The food inspectors will proceed
with their check up on the local
salmon supply as rapidly as possible.
To confirm his analysis. DR.. Price
extracted the liquid from the fish and
dipped strip of white cotton cloth
into it, The goods came out a. rich
s.sade of Grange.
Not Considered Dangerous.
DIR. Fowler made it plain that the
coloring matter found in the fish is
not necessarily injurious. He is sat
isfied, however, it constitutes a vio-
Iation of the food and drug act as
well as the local regulations, in that
it would, he said, deceive a house
holder into buying white salmon in
the belief she was getting the more
expensive red variety.
The health officer told his in
spectors, under the leadership of DIR.
r. r. Ashwcrth, to condemn all sal
mon found to be artifcially colored.
Several days ago. news dispatches
m \
covery of painted salmon in that city.
The next day, a Washington dealer
brought a sample of fish to the health
Office voluntarily and asked that it
be analyzed with a view to deter
mining whether it's bright red hue
DR.. Fowler said he would not seek
to prosecute the = merchant who
brought in the sample.
Officials Of the health department to-
day called attention to the following
paragraph from a bulletin issued by
the Department of Agriculture:
Covered By Food Law.
Section Z, subdivision 4, under
foods, of the federal food and drugs
act states that food will be re-
garded as adulterated if it be mixed,
colored, powdered, coated or stained
in manner whereby inferiority is
concealed; that is to say, artificial
color, whether harmless or not, may
not be used in foodssubject to the act
if in violation of this paragraph"
DIR. Fowler is of the opinion that the
question Of artificiaily colored salmon
is one of concealing the grade of the
fish and not a source of danger to
health. Health office attaches say the
red salmon costs considerably more
than the white variety.

EntertainS Visitors

The luncheon given by the Man
dan chapter in honor Of the presi.
dent-general was held at 100 o'clock
a. the Lewis and Clark hotel. The
dining room was very attractive
with daintily decorated small tables,
the room lit by softly shaded lamps.
At the table reserved for Mrs. Cook
and Mrs. Walker, was large bou-
quet of chrysanthemums and car
nations for Mrs. Cook and a corsage
bouquet of roses for Mrs. Walker.
Immediately following the lunch
con, welcoming greetings were ex-
tended to the visitors by Mrs. John
Bowers of Mandan chapter. During
her remarks, Mrs. Bowers made
brief mention of the historical spots
in North Dakota and of the flag
staff from Old Fort Abraham Lin
coin, which stands in N. p. Park
and is a cherished relic.
In her response, Mrs. Cook dweit
upon the excellent work of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion throughout the Northwest in
marking historical spots. She en-
phasized the importance of the work
Of recording the experiences of the
pioneers. The old settlers are pass

At The Movies
CAPITOL

The William A. Brady stage success
by Jules Eckert Goodman, from the
novel 1.-THE Man Who Came Back,
comes to the screen under the banner
of William Fox as one of the new
special productions Of unusual posi-
bilities. The novel by John Fleming
Wilson was one of the best sellers
a few years ago and the play was a
merited success.
George O'Brien and Dorothy Mac
kali have the leading roles in the
picture which comes to Capitol
Theatre Monday for days. Others
in the cast are Cyril Chadwick,
Ralph Lewis, Emily Fitzroy and Har-
vey Clark. Emmett Flynn was the
director.
1t will be recalled that the story
narrates the tragedy of a wealthy
young New Yorker who goes the
pace that kills, winding up as a
beach comber in the Orient. Drugs
and liquor have robbed him of his
manhood. His fall offers wealth
of dramatic possibilities. His rise,
due to the influence Of good wo-
man, is equally as spectacular, so
that the picture promises to contain
more than the usual mixture of ro-
nance and action.

BY the NEA Book Survey
The identity of Sherlock Holmes
at last has been definitely estab-
lished.
Sir A. Conan Doyle, creator of
the famous detective character, in
MY Memories and Adventure"
(Little, Brown) has settled forever
all arguments on the subject. He
has stripped Sherlock of such
slight DISCUSSES as the "master"
chose to wear and has revealed DR..
Joseph Bell, who was an instruc-
tor at the medical college attend
ed by Sir Conan.
BELL was thin, wiry, dark, with
a high-nosed, acute face" writes
Doyle. "He had penetrating gray
eyes and angular shoulders. His
strong point was diagnosis, not
cnly Of disease, but of occupation
and character"
Doyle, it appears, played "Dr.
Watson" to the analytical obser-
vations of this eccentric surgeon.
The writer tells of Sherlockian
deductions Of most interesting
character.
Looking around for a new de-
tective type, while fumbling at
first literary efforts l thought of
my old teacher, Joe Bells. of his
eagle face and curious ways and
weird trick of spotting details"
Doyle writes.
1t may interest struggling writ
ers to know that Doyle had no easy
time selling Sherlock Holmes to-
the publishers. He made the rounds
of book houses and was turned
down with the Study in Scarlet"
At the time he had some income
as struggling young doctor, but
the wolves of necessity were not
far from the door.
1t was a publisher of cheap, SEN
sational books that finally took
"A Study in Scarlet" and gave
Doyle the equivalent of $500.
"This was not a tempting offer
and, poor as | was, ! hesitated to
accept" he writes. "For them it
was a wonderful bargain, for they
net only brought out many editions
but had the valuable cinema rights
for this paltry sum-"
1t was much the same with
Micah Clarke" The book went
begging until Andrew Lang urged
a publisher to bring it out. Then
came "The Sign Of the Four"
"The White Company" and "Sir
Nigel"
And it is in discussing these
more serious" books that Sir
Conan makes a somewhat startling
literary admission; he rather re-
sents having written Sherlock
Holmes. He feels that Sherlock
has overshadowed his "better
work."
