The analysis of the stomach of Barney MeDanlels of Macedonia, for whose alleged murder his wife, Mrs. Ella McDaniels, and Bert Livix are now being held at the county Jail In this city awaiting the actlon of the district court grand jury, has failed to show the slightest trace of strychnine. Tho result of the analysis tends to disprove the atement of the accused that McDaniels took a dose of strychnine before, as they alleged, cuttink his throat. The state, also a result of the analysis, expects tkat counsel for the defendants will have con- siderable trouble in proving, as he stated he would when recently In this city, that McDanjels had purchased the poison in | Henderson, | The examination of the stomach of the dead man was made by Prof. A. C. Stokes of Omaha, professor of the medical depart- ment of the Nebraska State university. In their statements before the coroner's jury Mrs. McDanfels and Livix both as- serted that McDanlels was seized with con- vulsions shortly before his death and that when Mrs. McDanlels offered to do what she could to relieve him he said it was no use, as he had taken strychnine and noth- ing could prevént him dying. Shortly after making this statement, the accused sald, McDaniels cut his throat and rushed from the house with the blood pouring from the ‘wound. With the Churches.

Il THE OMAHA D INTEREST FROM EMPLOYERS ARE NEGLIGENY Reports Bhow Bufficient Oare is No: Taken to Safeguard Lif acd Health HALF OF PHARMACISTS FAIL TO PASS Frank Baird Gets Elghteen Years for His Share in the Sallivan Rob- bery and Richards is Scared. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Feb. 28.—(Special.)—The office of the state commissioner of labor statistics 1s unusually busy at this time on matters of the utmost importance. The | work of securing reports from all of the emplovers of labor in the state was com- menced a few weeks ago, the statutory blanks were sent out with some changes from previous years, and these went to a list of about 4500 firms and individuals who are required under the laws of the state to make reports. The compllation of this list was a difficult task, as no such list had ever before been prepared. Now the reports are coming in and found to be more complete than ever be- fore in many respects, and generally sat- ' istactory. But they disclose that in many cases some of the plainest requirements of the state laws of lowa are violated by emnloyers and that many of those who are responsible for the comfort and health and | satety of many employes are negligent. This week the commissioner commenced sending out the required notices to em- plovers who bave been delinquent, calling attention to their failures or the things that should be reredied. The largest num- ber of these notices are going to persons who state in thelr reports that they have not provided fire escapes. The employers are directed to provide fire escapes and their attention is called to the law pro- viding penalties for failure so to do. The next largest list of delinquents are those who have failed to provide separate re- tiring rooms where both male and female employes Are at work. It is surprising to the commissioner how many there are of this class and what indifference thete 18 manifésted to ordinary sanitary regula. tions in shops and factories in the cities of Towa. Many of the reports indicate a desire on the part of the employers to escape responsibility for' their delinquen~ cles and to shift the blame to the landlord or others, while quite a pumber make promises of betterment of their conditions. This work will take some time and will pave the way for complete regulation of the conditions of labor in the state, as no such thorough work has ever before been attempted in Iowa. Get Pharmacy Certificates. Out of a class of eighty-five students of pharmacy who were examined this month for certificates the commissioners bave granted twenty-eight certificates, the fifty- seven others failing in examination. The following were granted certificates: Otto Anderson. Austin, Minn.; G. D. Brock, Iowa Falls; Charles H. Berkley, Logan, Robert Baker, Eldon; M. D. Benson, Ran- dall; R. W. Bass, Rose Hill; J. W. Roche, Riceville; J. W. Crumrine, Sloux City; C. R. Clark, Hampton; C. M. Corbett, Bayar ‘W. E, Hattenhauer, Des Moines; H. McB. Harr, Janesville; H. C. Hawley, Clarind: B. G. Jones, Beaconsfield; A. J. Kupka, Chelsea; Don Latta, Chariton; V. R. Mc- Lucas, Winterset; C. B. Lillibridge, Man- chester; G. H. Mullan, Sioux City; Walter H. B. McArtor, Marengo; W. L, Newman, Marshalltown; C. W. Noble, Dallas; John ‘Thome, Dubuque Charles Tichy, Cedar Rapide; J. C. Watts, Hampton; F. 0. Wil- cox, Columbus Junction; W. T. Westnn, Colfax; Frank Wiley, Columbus Junction. Educational Committee to Meet. A meeting of the educational committes of the State Teachers' wssociation on the Towa cducational exhibit at St. Louls and a general conference of educators has been called for next Tuesday, to be held in the state educational department offices in the capitol. Semator Trewin has sent notice to that effect. This will be the day pre- vious to the meeting cf the Loulsiana Pur- chase commission. The commisston will meet on March 4 to sign up the contract for the building to be erected and transact general business. It s probable that some general plan for the other departments will be decided upon at that time. Military Examining Board. The military examining board adjourned this morning and reported the following as having successfully passed examination for commissions in the National Guard: Clem W. Easter, captain, and A. H. McNeal, first lleutenant of the new company in Des Molnes, V. W. Greene, second lieutenant, Centerville; Fred W. Hood, secord lieu- tenant, Sloux City; Wiley S. Renkin, cap- tain, Mason City; Willoughby W. Phillips, first Ileutenant, Perry; Thomas H. White, second lieutenant, Perry. An order was is- sued today for an election for a captain of the signal corps in Des Moines for March 10 to succeed Captain Prime, who resigned. Information was also recelved that the new armbory of the company at Albia bas been started and is being built. Want Law Amended. Chairman Cownle of the State Board of Control In an interview declares in favor of an important amendment to the state law for the placing of dipsomaniacs in the state hospitals. He would have the mini- mum time of sentence six months instead of thirty days. At present the inebriates and morphine victims can be paroled in thirty days on the recommendation of the superintendents. The judges are alleged to be’ misleading many of those who are sent by telling them that they will remain only thirty days, and as soon as that time is up they begin to clamor for rele; and trouble follows. The state board will rec- cmmend to the legislature an amendment to the law so that no one can be paroled short of six month: Frank Baird Gets Sentence, Judge Ghmble In court at Knoxville this afternoon sentenced Frank Baird to elght- ecen years In the penitertiary for the Sulli- van robbery at Hamlilton. In so doing he declared that there was not a particle of doubt as to the nature of the crime and further stated that W. A. Richards, ex- deputy marshal, was shown. to have been an accessory of Baird in the crime. All through the trial there was much evidence implicating Richards. It was confidently sserted by Richards' friends that he would appear in Knoxville today, but he did not, and they now express the fear that the heavy sentence given Baird and the declar- stions of Judge Gamble will so frighten bim that he will not give himself up at this time. Twe Juries Disagree. The jury in the Lavelleur murder trial at Newton was discharged after belng out twenty-six hours and falling to egree on a verdict. Four of the jurors only favored conviction of the women. The jury failed to agree in the Hossack | case at Indlanola. They stocd 9 to 3, ac- cording to report, for conviction righ® from the start.

J. L. Leilich as tending to ob- scure the main issue ralsed against Mr. Smoot, that of being an apostie of the Mor- | mon church. | The telegram is signed by Parley L. Wil- | liams and E. B. Critchlow, representing the citizens' committee, and Rev. W. M. Paden of the First Presbyterian church of Salt | Lake, representing the Ministerial associa- | tion. This action taken after a meeting at which the sentiment seemed unanimous that | the polygamy charge should play no part in the fight against Mr. Smoot. “We feel that polygamy is in no way the fssue,” sald a member of the association. | “The principle for which we are fighting s that, as an apostle in the Mormon church, | | Mr. Smoot has no right to a seat in the | United States senate. That he is or is not | a polygamist does not play any part. BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 28.—The house today unanimougly ordered the following tele- gram sent: The house of representatives of the state of Idaho extends to you the best wishes of its members scparately and collectively We view with profound regret the agitation | against your being_ seated as a United | States senator an office to which you have been chosen by the legislature of Utah, in the proper exercise of its sovereign power. ‘We belleve that the opposition to you be- cituse of your religious bellef Is coatrary to the American spirit demanding separation o#-church and state and that this opposition | Contemplates violation of section 3, article i, of the constitution of the United States. WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—Senator Bur- rows, chairman of the committee on priv- iliges and elections, today presented to the senate a protest against the seating of Reed Smoot. Among other reasons given is an zllegation that Smoot is a member of an oath-bound organization and as such has taken an oath “agreeing to forfelt his life should he divulge the name or fail to coniply with its terms; that by sald oath he in the most solemn manner swore to avenge upon the government of the United States the death of Joseph and Hiram | Smith, who years ago, at. Carthage, III., were killed by a mob, and further, that | he has sworn to likewise swear his chil- dren and grandchildren never to rest or give up their fight for that vengeance until | it shall be an accomplished fact. MONUMENT IS TO BE BUILT Money Almost Ralsed to Erect Shaft for Men Who Died Prison Shivs, NEW YORK, Feb. 28.—The movement to build a monument to the martyrs of the prison ships In the revolution seems likely to be successful. It Is to cost $200,000 and all but $11,000 is subscribed. Congress, the state of New York and the city of New York have uappropriated amounts aggregating $175,000. The prison- ers for whom the monument is to be bullt are those who were confined in the prison hulks znchored in the East river near the present site of the .Brooklyn navy yard. Four thousand of Washington's soldiers captured at the battle of Long Island were 'canllnzd on three hulks ana Jsubsequent captives were added to thelr numwver until a considerable fleet wab @npioyed for the purpose. Release was continually offered to all who would forswear the cause for which they had fought, but only one man—a Hes- slan—accepted liberty on that condition, while more than 15,000 died in their floating | prisons. | GIRL ALMOST BURIED ALIVE Undertaker Discovers Spark of Life and She is Now Rapidly Re- ®aining Health., NEW YORK, Feb. 28.—Miss Edith Curzon of Redbank, N. J., is now recovering from pneumonia, after her family chought her dead. She posed as the Goddess of Liberty in Redbank's Washington's birthday parade and caught cold, which quickly prostrated her. Yesterday she died, apparently, and an undertaker was called in. As he was about to prepare the body for the shrouds he was startled to perceive that the right arm, which had lain outside the epread, was now drawn up to the face. He noticed an eyelld twitch. The family was summoned, work was begun to keep alive the slight spark of life, and after a time Miss Curzon was able to notice what going on. Today she is improving, with every chance of re- covery, TRAITOR SOLDIER IDENTIFIED Honolulu Burglar Sald to Be De- serter Who Led In Insurgents.
