Negro Woman Acts As Her Own Lawyer And Wins
In Duluth municipal court Mrs. Lottie Harper, a middle aged Black woman from Avorn, won an $82 jury verdict against Buehler Bros in a dispute over a barrel of chickens. She helped select jurors, cross examined witnesses, testified, and delivered the closing argument. The appeal arose from a conciliation court decision in her favor.

Senate Adopts Legislative Salary Bill Odell Plan To Save Losses
The South Dakota Senate passed the legislative expense measure with no dissent. It appropriates $90,000 for the sixty day session, about $20,000 less than 1937.

A conference committee was named to resolve differences with the House over raises for pages and doorkeepers. The Senate also planned a joint visit to federal offices to oppose the one cent per gallon gasoline tax and new bills were introduced in both houses after adjournment.
