One of the principal witnesses against Sanford. was his 9-year-old won, Harry, who testified that he saw his father shoot, but Aid not know whether he was shooting at Gano or a dog, both, he sald, being in range of his father's gun. Sanford's defense was that he dld not shoot at Gano, but fired at a dog which had been bothering him.

TO NAME THREE NEW MEMBERS Ames Agric se Iesm Statement of Thelr Achievements for Year In Way of Prise w ng. (From a 8taff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, April #.—(Speciad)— A new turn was given the matter of the controversy over the State Pharmacy board by the resignation today of B. F. Keltz 6f Webster City, for five yeais a member and at present chairman, He arrived in the city this morning and after conferences between the commis- sloners and the members of the council it was agreed that the entire controverey should be dropped and the bills which have been held up should be paid. In view of this Mr. Keltz tendered his res- ignation, addressed to the council, as fol- lows I hereby tender my resignation as member of the State Pharmacy conimis afon, such resignation to take effect at once. Because of the publicity already given this matter I beg to briefly state my reason Whatever may be the merit of the controversy between Governor v arroll and myself, I reallze that there can be but one uliimate result, and at best I could hold no longer than one more year when my term will expire. 1 am informed the new law gives the sxeomtive councll. power to: remove appointive officers. Should I undertake ‘to hold my office. members of the ex- ecutive council will be confronted with the aiternative of either voting for my removal or antagonizing the chairman of that body, do not think my cause is of sufficient importance to justify me in 80 smbarrassing them. 3. Many of the dutles of my office par- take of the nature of secret service. A commissioner should feel free to go and come at will when he belleves the public service requires it. Such conditions can exist only when confidential relations od- tain between lim and all members of the council. Under existing conditions T feel that the state's interests can be beat subserved by my resignation. My personal interegt T have ulways tried to place second to that of the public service and I wish to do so now. T have the utmost confidence that your honorable body will accept this statement in the spirit of fairness in which it 1s siven. 1 A Matter of Pollities. The entire controversy related to two or three days last June, when it was declared by the governor that Keltz did no work for the state. Fie had demsnded his Indict- ment or prosecution for perjury, and in the meantime had not submitted to the council the January and February bills of the com- missioners, The matter bevame one purely of politics, and Mr. Keltz has been offered a good business opening which he will take, Tomorrow the governor will announce the appointment of three members of the com- mission and they will elect a secretary and proceed with business. It is regarded as certain that Harry Eaton of Shenan- doah will be reappointed and with him D. J. Haddon of Alta, but who the third member is has not been disclosed 1t I8 known that In case Keitz had chosen to remain on the board he would not have been removed by the state executive coun- cil, but the governor could have forced his retirement by fallure to report the ex- pense bills Work of College Students. The state college at Ames is engaged in collecting the information upon which to base a statement as to the accomplish- ments of the students of the college in various walks of life.

I might have had some beer.'’ Did you see her eyes at this Hartford meeting? “Casually.” our glances did not meet?" “You mean | deep* and that sort of thing—no.""
