Prisoners Will Stick to the Story that Husband Committed syleide, The defense of Mrs. Ella McDaniels and Bert Livix, now in the county jall charged with the murder of the former's husband, Barney McDanlels, was outlined by Hon. Lew Genung, attorney for the defendants, while in the city yesterday. The defense will bel that McDanlels committed suicide by pot only cutting his throat, but by also taking strychnine. This is in line with the story told by the accused at the time of the inquest. Mr. Genung stated that he expects to prove not only by the evidence of the ac- cued, but also by the testimony of the two sons of Mrs. McDanlels, that on the morn- Ing of the tragedy McDaniels before break- fast drank poison and was taken violently sick. The story of the defense will be that McDantels after supposedly attending to his chores returned to the house from the barn and lay down on the bed and was taken violently sick. When his wife attempted to relleve him he said that it was useless trylng to do anythiny for him or to send for a doctor, as he intended to die and had taken strychnine. Further, that when Mrs, McDanlels left the room at the request of her husband to secure something he jumped from the bed and rushed from the hou witb the blood pouring from a gaping ‘wound in his throat. Mr. Genung eald that there was no evi- dence to substantiate the statement of Al Smith that he heard McDaniels call out as he ran from the house, and further that he expects to prove that McDaniels himself purchased the poison at a drug store In Henderson. No application bas been made as yet by Mr. Genung for the calling of a special grand jury and County Attorney Killpack stated yesterday that as far as he knew nothing would be done in the case until the regular session in April. Both Mrs. McDanlels and Livix since their confine- ment in county jail here have declined to discuss the charge against them. Giving Away Stoves.

The executive committee will | consist of the president, secretary and warden, and the affairs of the assoclation will be in charge of the board of nine di- rectors. The committee appointed to confer with the motor company reported that while no definite assurance had been received { from the motor officials, it was very likely that the company would place its boat | house between the Rowing association’s | club bulldings and the ice houses at the disposal of the assoclation with dockage facilities for the season at the lake.

INTEREST FROM IOWA. Make More Trouble at the Hospita's Than the Insane Patients. INSURANCE ~ COMPANIES ~ PAYING UP Urmes President Towa on Oc- Governar Cummins Roosevelt to Visl caston of His Trip Lou (From a Staff ¢ MOINES, Feb. 24 espondent.) DES Special.)—The State Board of Control is having a great deal of difficulty at the state hospitals over the conduct of some of those who have been sent to the dipsomania wards. Chair- man Cownfe of the board has just made some investigations Into varlous accusa- tions made of cruelty and rough treatment by inmates of the dipsomania wards, and | especially one who was sent to the Mount Plea nt hospital as an inebriate from Kos. This man, J. A. Marston, has the newspapers been sending letters to making the gravest accusations against the | management at Mt. Pleasant, and las writ- ten the governor and the judge who sent him fo the hospital. The investigation dis- closed merely that the inmate was mad and had not fully recovered from the effects of the inebriate condition in which he had been found, and he finally admitted he was not telling the truth about the hospital The board also finds that especlally at ‘Krlhl opposed any changes in the bill, as | | | | | Cheroken and Independence the insane pa- | tients are being literally crowded out of the hospitals by reason of the large number of inebriates who are being committed to the hospitals. To guard against this the state will have to make substantial addi- tlons to these hospitals within the next two years. The addition of the dipsomaniacs was something not contemplated when the | hospitals were built. The state is now car- ing for over 200 inebriates at the hospitals, | and they are mora trouble to the state than all the insane Paying Insurance Taxes. The state auditor today received a check for $26,522.74 from the Northwestern Mu- tual Life Insurance company of Milwaukee as Its payment of taxes to the state on business done last year. The company pays 21 per cent of its gross receipts from lowa sources during the year, and this payment indicates that the company received over $1,000,000 from the state last year. The next largest payment is that of the New York Life Insurance company for $22,341.04. The state will receive a much larger sum from the insurance taxes this year than ever before. Fatal Accldent Under Car, At Valley Junction this morning Thomas Connelly fell beneath a train on the Rock Island railroad and received injuries which resulted in his death in three hours at the Methodist hospits He was engaged in cutting off cars or making a coupling and slipped on the ice so that he fell between the cars and was crushed. He was 28 years old and ieaves a wife and three children. Seeks It is learned fhat while Governor Cum- mins was in_ Washington he especially urged President) Roosevelt to resume his western trip which was abruptly broken off last fall by an accident which com- pelled the president to go to & hospital. At that time 'Secretary Cortelyou tele- graphed the governor practically promis- ing him that the president would come west in the spring and keep his appoint- ments in Towa and other states. (Governor Cummins is very anxious that the president shall do this and has urged that he come at the same tinie he comes west to attend the special exercises at the St. Louls ex- position. Have Invited He Presence of Roosevelt. t and Others. A conference of democrats was held here as the result of the suggestion of General Weaver as to broadening the scope of the conference on April 2, and the sug- sestion of Charles E. Russell, as to Wil- llam R. Hearst, some changes have been made in the program. Hearst has been formally invited to attend the banquet and it 1s known this was at the suggestion of his friends. He will be expected to speak. Judge Van Wagenen Is to be present and speak on “Government Ownership of Rail- roads.” Charles A. Walsh, secretary of the democratic national committee, is to speak on “The Kansas City Platform,” and there will be some others. This is re- garded as clinching the movement for Hearst for president and makes it reason- ably certain Van Wagenen will be a can- didate for governor. No Pharmacy Appointment. There has been no change in the situation with rvegard to pharmacy commissionér slace Governor Cummins left for the east. It was understood when he went away that the friends of the different candidates would make some effort to clear up the sit- uation so that it would be eastr to decide. Conferences have been held at various places the past week looking to compromise and it is understood that strong ecfforts have been made to induce this or that can- didate to pull out in favor of harmony. The backers of W. L. Leland held a conferende in Sioux City to plan for his success. It has been repeatedly announced that both Le- land and Russell are entirely vut of the race, but it is known certainly here, and has been all along, 'that neither one hes considered the possibility of abandoning the fight under fire. Leland, Keltz and Russeil are still in the race and their friends are active and earnest AMENDS TEMPERANCE BILL Senate Co Changes It =0 Friends Hardly Recognize the Measure. PIERRE, 8. D., Feb. 24.—(Speclal Tele- gram.)—The house held a morning session today and the first move was on the part of the triends of speclal appropriation bills to postpone action for a few days | longer, the Aberdeen Normal bill and the St. Louls fair bill being on the list. Among the principal house bills presented were By Hayes, providing for a state revenue commission of three; by Russell, requiring gas companies to furnish patrons with full instructions for readiag meters; by Young, granting extra compensation to county as- sessors In large counties; by Bromlvy, to suthorize the. purchase of land at the Red- field Hospital for the Insane. The house passed semate bi'ls providing for town jalls, licensing of billlard rooms and bowling alleys, granting townships rigbt of control of water from publie ar- teslan wells, providing for annexation of | territory to independent school district: providing an appropriation of $5,000 for & silver service for the ship “South Dakota,” to appropriate money for criminal prosecu- tions in Stanley county. The senate oil inspection bill was taken up and several amendments were offered by Gross, the principal ones being to raise the flash test from 106 to 110 aud strik- ing out the portion of the bill which alms to regulate the color of oll.

Porter was opposed tc the whole bill on account of Its attempting too wuch and was likely to fall down in.some of its provisions. On motion of Longstaff the bill went back to the committee for further consideration. The bill will be re ported tack tomorrow without change and likely will pass Carroll offered a general apportionment blll to cover tne failure of the legislature of two years ago to act, and, on motion of Goddard, it was indefinitely postponed as soon as it recelved Its first reading. The boundary committee bill came up | on speclal order and was supported by | | Lawson, Bromley and Hutchinson of Beadle and opposed by Nelson, who desired to amend to fix the compensation of com- missloners at $6 per day instead of $10, but the bill was passed as presented. The | senate bill fixing ferry regulations met with some opposition and finally vent back to the committee, and the house bills to prevent over Insurance of property and to provide for jailers in all counties were Killed, and bills passed providing a method of cnallenge and fixing penalties for soli- citation of place on juries In the senate the temperance bill was reported back to the judiclary committee recommendation without after extensive amendments had been added, which prac- | tically destroyed the original bill. The senatc passed house bills providing for a supply of stone for the state capitol from the penitentiary quarries, making the poll list the basis on which to esti- mate population for pay of county officer: for uniform first and second-grade teach- ers’ certificates, to pay judgment held by Julian Bennett, to appropriate $800 to the secretary of the State Historical soclety, and fixing compensation of State Board of Agriculture. The senate passed senate bilis establishing a scale of salaries for county judges, providing for two justices of the peace In incorporated towns, and the military code. The senate is holding back special ap- propriations until action has been taken on the anti-compact bill which was sent down in the house last week, and the fate of this bill will have a great deal to do | with the possibilities on specials. Moody stirred up the senate just before adjournment by a demand on the appropri- priations affecting penal and charitable in- stitutions, but his motion was declared lost.
