IOWA CITY, Ia, June 14—(Special)— The senfor laws of the State university of Towa are in a much perturbed state of mind. The State Board of Law Examiners has been holding a session with them for four days. They have about twenty senfors whom they have not yet decided to pass and decision on the question bids fair to be delayed until Tuesday. Attorney General Mullin and Judge Block of Davenport are in favor of plucking about twenty of the seniors. The other members of the board favor passing them all. This position has resulted from a dif- ference in the flve members of the board in marking questions. One marked a paper 98. Another took the paper up and gave it 50, On a number of the questions the board itselt {s divided. One mooted question is, “A man enters a house in the night time with intent to steal, through an open chim- ney. Has he committed burglary?’ Part of the board holds that a burglary has not been committed because there has been no act of breaking. They havé authorities who agree with them. Others hold that the fraudulent act' of entering through the chimney supplies the act of breaking, and here again these law examiners have au- thority, Blackstone among others. Another question 1s: “A man works for another under a verbal contract for two years. He completes his term of service. Can he recover for his services? This question causes difference because of a different interpretation. If it means re- covery on the contract alone, the answer is negative, but some members of the board Interpret it to mean whether any recovery at all can be had, which means an_affirmative ‘action, recovery being pos- sible for the real value of his mervices. The members of the board of examiner: Attorney General Mullin, Judge W. 8. Ken- yon of Fort Dodge, Judge Henderson of Indianola, Judge Block of Davenport and B. C. Ebersole of Toledo, have been spend- ing their nights up to midnight, and most of thelr days, In going over the examina- tion papers. The final oral quiz is to be held on Monday afternoon. SHARE SCHOLASTIC fRAINING Express Cases Appealed. The case of the State of Towa against the Adams Express Company, from Madison county, that was last December decided in favor of the state, will be appealed to the United States supreme court and will be submitted at the same time as the case against the American Express company from Adams county. J. W. Willett of Tama has been engaged the past week in perfect- ing the appeal In the Tama county case and John A. Guiher of Winterset in the other case. Both cases Involve the ques- tion of the right of express companies to transport liquors on the C. O. D. basis. The Iowa court holds that this is contrary to the state laws and to so hold is not in violation of the Interstate commerce law. The Adams company's case has some fea- tures @ little different from the American company's case and both will be appealed together. A firm of attorneys in Cincinnat! representing brewery interests will argue the case in the higher court. Depravity is Disclosed. A sad case of depravity which is agitat- ing East Des Moines will soon be aired in the courts. One J. W. Donovan, aged 67 years, of excellent family, but broken down with drink, is alleged to have been enticing childrén into his barn for immoral pur- poses. There are six warrants against him involving.accusations made by Stella Han, sen, aged 10; Bordella Hansen, aged 9; Minnie Hansen, aged 8; Ella Bergstrom, aged 10, and Hazel Bottenfield, aged 7. The last named child made complaint and re- vealed the state of affairs. Donovan was in the Ptate Hospital for Inebriates at one time, but was returned and for some time is said to have been misleading little chil- dren. It is expected an effort will be made to have him declared, insane to prevent his punishment In the penitentiary. He lived at 1116 East Sixth street. : Dying Felon De¢lares Innocence. Christina Behrens, the Davenport woman who hanged heraelf in the state prison at Anamosa, always claimed that she was en- tirely innocent and that she was the victim of another's crime. She was sentenced to lite !mprisonment by Judge Waterman, who had afterwards expressed the belief that she was more sinned against than sinning. She claimed she had been terribly abused by her worthless and drunken hus- band until she was compelled to meke her own living, and that afterwards, under promise of doing better he induced her to return to live with him, but returned to his old life. She claimed that a man who had been indicted jointly with her was wholly responsible for the poisoning of Behrens. But her case has been at one time presented to the legislature and the committee that investigated reported ad- versely to her plea. She had become de- spondent under her life sentence and her death was no surprise. for Others, IOWA CITY, Ia, June 14.—(Speclal)— The baccalaureate sermon to the graduat- Ing classes of 1903 of the State university of Iowa was delivered’ before the 29 can- didates for degrees and a crowded hous by President Dan.

With the falling of the water, employ- ment to a large number has beon glven and conditions are much improved. Thers remain, howeyer, many thousands depend- ent on charity for shelter, food, clothing and the most meager outfit of cooking utensils and furniture. These cannot be supplied without outside aid and unless it is furnished to a large amount the most dire suffering and widespread sickneas and death must result. No more worthy or urgent cause can be presented than that of the flood sufferers of Kansas City, Kan., and we appeal to the generous people of tho country to ald in supplying these pross- ing needs of our stricken people.

At the meeting of the directors of the Nortlieastern bund today Karl Kuhl of Philadelphia, chafrman of the music com- mittee, announced that Dr. Hans Hartan ot Munich, one of the members of the col- lege of judges, had not arrived. The music committee was instructed to fill the va- cancy, so that a complete membership of five may judge the prize songs. Zn effort was made to strike the socle- tles of Albany, Troy, N. Y., and Trenton, N. J., from membership in the bund, but President Carl Lentz of Newark, N. J, ruled the motion out of order. It was decided to change the manner of selecting the prize songs for the next fest and an advisary committee of three direc ors was appointed to conter with the music committee as to the best method of select- 1ng the songs. A proposition to change the by-laws so that the fest should be held quadrennially instead of triennially was voted down. At the conclusion of the meeting dinner was served at Harmonle hall. Rehenrse at St. ST. LOUIS, June 14.—The reception chorus of the Bt. Louls saengerfest, consisting of 3500 picked voices among Bt. Louls chor- isters, had its final rehearsal enmasse in the liberal arts hall, World's Fair grounds, this afternoon. Festival Director Richard Stempf had charge. The test of the big hall, already furnished with 15000 cholce seats, proved most satisfactory. A committee was sent to Alton to recelve the European trio, Mme. Flelscher-Edel, Herr Willl Birrenkoven and Herr Max Lohfing, who complete the quartet and solo contingent. The advance sale of seats is heavy and the flood troubles will no longer keep out the visiting contingent of singers, of whom 2,000 are expected before Wednes- day. ‘Wagner, Muecke's United " Spicker, Har- His Role. “I mee that De Rantem is going to be a star next season,” observed Brutus Futlites to Beatrice Litefuts. “A shooting star, no doubt,” commented Beatrice, with that spontaneous wit which has made her press agent famous; “for I understand he is to have the leading role in & Wild West drama."—Judge. catchbass THE....
