by George Oakley Totten, ir., promi-

ment His letters reads in part:
MAY l call your attention to the
fact that the heavy trucks now pee
nitted to traverse our streets are do
ing great damage to buildings Of all
classes. These trucks with their IA
tons numbering along on hard ruhhe:
tires. many of which have scarcely any
rubber at all. at Is or more miles an
hour, cause violent tremors, veritahla
earthquakes for 4 distance often Of 80
or 100 feet back of the pavement.
They have caused serious damage to
two buildings which l own where |
have had to replace fallen ceilings.
Before the advent of the motor truck
we rarely had loads over three tons in
our streets and these were drawn by
horses at q speed of two or three miles

His Head as Main Feature of Cere-
mony Planned Next Week.

Although the chiefs do not like to
have II mentioned. it is known that Il
proposal was made at one of the con.
ferences to change the name, but an
old custom is said to decree that an

the next full moon does not occur
here until after the DeadWood ccre-
monies.

strayed from the reservation already
are returning to the hills.
At their home on the outskirts OF
Rapid City, Chief Chauncey Yellow

scendants of Chief Sitting Bull, and
Chief Standing Bear are rehearsing
the actual coronation of President

leCted for this important part at the
ceremonies.
Deeper in the hills, Chiefs Crazy
Horse and Kills a Hundred are phras-
ing the coronation speech, which will
be delivered in the Sioux dialect and
translated to the throng expected to
witness the induction. Crazy Horse
is IS and knows how to conduct the
rituals of his fathers in the most sol
emn and dignified way. AS a young

while Alex Comeaux was on the stand

night Mrs. Lebouef's husband was
slain that the woman defendant col
lapsed. She was hurried to an ante
room and after a few minutes resumed
her place in the courtroom.
Testimony yesterday mostly per-
tanned to the Identification of the body
which was found in Lake Paalourde,
while that at the night session tended
to show that DR.. Dreher and Beadle,
who Is alleged to have fired the fatal
shots. were seen together near the
scene of the crime on the night it was
committed.
Six witnesses said they had seen
Beadle with the doctor about $50 on
the night of the murder and that there
was boat in the car. Comeaux said
that he saw the physician and another
man place a boat in the water and
that later in the night he heard two
shots, close together.
He said that he asked DR.. Dreher
the next day if he had had any luck.
Efforts were made by the defense to
show that the sound of shots was com
mon, but Comeaux said that it was
only in the last two weeks that hunt
ing had started on the lake and that
before the night in question he had
not heard any shooting at night.

ion the American proposals have been
reasonable.
Aside from the frankness Of the
PRESIDENTS discussion of his opinion
OF the situation at the Geneva confer.
ence, the fact that he discussed the
subject at all was taken as being most
significant, mainly because of the
PRESIDENTS refusal all along to talk
TOR publication. He steadfastly declined
until now to make any comment upon
the progress at Geneva, explaining
that anything he said might easily be
misinterpreted abroad.
White House Not Ready.
When the President and Mrs. Cool.
ldge return to Washington from their
vacation 1t is likely that they will go
directly to the temporary White House
at Is Dupont circle. 1ntimation of this
was given at the Summer White
House yesterday.
The President has been advised that
while the extensive repairs and AL
terations to the White House have
been virtually completed, things will
not be in readiness for occupancy
until late in September. There Is con-
siderable clearing away and other
details to be completed before things
win be in shipshape order.

In the States where there are no

issued by Mr.. Lowman. New York
State is in point We arc making
very fair progress with enforcement
except in the case of these minor
violations, which should be handled
in Il police court.

mo conclusion should be drawn
from the above that the Federal au-

not be brought about for some time.
even though the enforcement squad
was increased Assistant Secretary
LoWman said that when the citizens
of New York become more interested
in prohibition enforcement and enact
a State prohibition law considerably
moro could be accomplished in the
way of law enforcement.

The present force Of approximately
800 agents is rather inadequate to
undertake such a job" he said.
