Senator Gamble today seoured the pas- sage In the senate of his bill providing for the opening of surplus and unallotted lands in the Pine Ridge Indian reservation, . Senator Gamble was today informed by the seécretary of the Interfor that on ac- colifit of weather conditions and the un. ~ugyal enowfall in South Dakota the depart- mént would recommend to the president a mddification of the proclamation opening lands on_ the Standing Rock and Cheyenne river ‘reservations, chunging the date of filing_from the first day In April to the first day in May, and action thereon would e taken ae soon as the boundaries of the dlatriots In which lands are situated are eetablished. Thé candidates recently named by Sena- 'of, Gamble as principal and alternates for & cadetship at West Point have all falled, Senator Gamble is somewhat disappointed that his state eannot supply young men successfully to pass muster for entrance to West Point. Here apparently is an op- portunity for any ‘young man between the ages of 17 and 2 to make application at once for this vacant appointment to West Point. Benator Gamble invites all young men who may ‘be desirous of a military career and who have reasonable chance to stand the mental and physical requirements to apply to \him at once.

The “shale rock” scandal was aleo un- earthed In the construction of “Section D" | of the same sewer. The eity pald the Me- Govern company more than $45,000 for the removel of a large quantity of so-called “shale rock.” Upon examination by experts it was stated that the “shale rock” was nothing more than hard ciay and offered little obstruction. MeGovern was the contractor in charge Of the construction and the man who was pald for the removal of the “rock.” Bon- nell certified that it was rock and Erieson approved Bonnell's decision. Redieske then put his stamp of approval on the work and the oty paid the money.

Not Personal Matter. “Well, you camt convict an remarked Scott. Nothing personal In it with me" re- plied Mr. Hess. "I simply want to do my duty as a public officer." Judge Thornell called the jury into court during the morning for the purpose of glv- ing further instructions. The defendant and his attorneys and County Attorney Hess were present. The additiopal In- struotion had to do with the manner in which Hermelbrecht parted with the $5,000 which he lost on the fake horse race. Judge Fhornell Instructed the jury that it it found Hermelbrecht bet his money on the race, that fact might be considered in determining his intention as to passing title and ownership as well as possession of the money. At the time that the jury was ealled into court for further instructions it was re- ported that- it was about evenly divided.

But for the protest of a few of the ex- treme conservatives the measure wonld have passed all three readings unanimously Vice Chancellor Delbrueck in introducing the bill gave a brief recital of the course of the negotiations and sald the United States had demanded a number of conoes- slons, the granting of which would have been equivalent to a decided encroachment upon Germany's exeoutive and police sutonomy. Particularly was this true in respoct to the veterinary police regulations, He said: “It was our first duty to leave the United States in no doubt that we would interpose Insuperable resistance to such attempte to attack our legisiation and policing measures ‘in connection with the tariff negotiations."” B America to Minimum.

Herr Delbrueck further assured the Relchstag that the\government could expect confidently that Germany's excellent re- lations with the United States would guar- antee a conclliary and broad-minded ob- servance of the agreement. The president of the Relchstag inquired whether any one else desired to speak, and no one responding, he added that it there was any objection to the immediate and final passage of the measure that the bouse would adjourf and reassemble an hour later for. the third reading in order to comply with the rules of the chamber. No objection was raised and the bill was passed. Twine Plant at I‘-fi Onpacity. SIOUX FALLS, 8.
