They also reported that they were helpless for the moment, but would make every effort to get into the com- pany's vaults and search for the books there if given time. The directors further told the court that they had called a special meeting of the directorate to take place flve days hence, when Heinze and Secretary and Treasurer Gifford, who it is the | ! e ———ICNEE |he courted the fuliest inquiry and the Aistrict attorney had he so desired, would have had full access to all the books and | papers of the compantes with which ha was connected Notwithatanding this” Mr. Heinze's statement goes to say, no such Inquiry was made and my trial has been delayed from time to time until | the recent indictment “The long delay between the first and second tndictments and climaxes attending | the indictment, however, convinoce me that the business transactions about what I | eould not be required to testify against my- self are being pried into an indirect way and it has therefore seemed wise as well as fair to myself that I should avall myself of my constitutional privilege with refer- ence books and papers as well as to oral testimony.

By this I mean teachers who are strong In discipline, character, scholarship and abllity to in- struct. Such teachers in the public schools |of Council Bluffs mean much for the chil- dren who attend them,” said Prof. J. H. | Beveridge, superintendent of the public |schools of this city, vesterday afternoon | When his attention was ecalled to a pub- lished statement to the effect that Mem- |ber Capell of the Board of Education crit- |icised the superintendent’s policy In secur- ng the appointment of teachers from out |of the city. “Beyond this I do not care {to say anything at the present time," de- clared Mr. Beveridge, “in view of the fact that the Board of Education will meet |next Monday night, at which time, it 1s | understood, teachers will be elected for the ensuing school year." Mr. Capell, who s a member of the | teachers' committee of the Board of Edu- cation, contends that Superintendent Bev- eridge has adopted a systematic policy of supplanting local teachers with persons from abroad. At the meeting of the board next Monday night, Mr. Capell stated yes- terday, he would present figures in sup- port of his assertion. Not being chairman of the committee, Mr. Capell” expects merely to submit his statement of the sit- uation as he sees it and then leave the matter with the board. “I have no desire to precipitate a fac- tional controversy,” sald Mr. Capell, “and |1 merely intend to declare my attitude on |this matter, which I belleve of vital in- terest to the people of this school dis- | triot.” | Mr. Capell sald yesterday that Superin- | tendent Bevridge had declared himself in avor of appointing teachers from other places than Council Bluffs, because such teachers, if they proved incompetent could | be discharged without bringing down upon |the heads of the members of the board | and others connected with the management of the schools of the city, the importunities and wrath of their friends.

Though the bullets entered portions of | the body where ordinarily fatalities resuit, both will recover. The vitality of the baby in living from 4 o'clock to 10 o'clock with- out treatment was marvelous, according to internes in the University hospital. The bullet which struck the woman's abdomen, narrowly missed a large artery. The father is in the county jail. He issued a statement yesterday, In which he declared he remembered little of the details leading up to the deed, the idea uppermost in the man's mind being love for the child and his desire to have his wife and child live with him.

Swearingen was indicted by the grand jury for assault with intent to do great bodily injury. The assault was made some six weeks since, when Mrs. Swearingen fired a revolver at Roscoe Willlams, a bank cashter, the bullet passing through the clothing of a bystander. The shooting grew out of a real estate transaction ‘n which the woman thought she was swin- dled. She is now 70 years of age and has lived in Sidney fifty-two vears. She made no effort to secure ball and has been an {nmate of the county jail ever since the shooting took place. The case will not be tried until September. Editor Held for Libel.

New Method in Towa. An intsresting innovation in school methods will be the teaching of the Aldine method of primary reading at the High- land park college summer school Which begins in this city June 15. The Aldine method is one that originated in the east and has caused a wide discussion all over the country. The introduction of the method here will be watched with Intense The system consists of offering a series of rhymes to the student children. For example in seventeen rhymes are in- troduced eighty new words. The meaning of the words are easily seen by their asso- ciation in the verse. The students are taught these verses. Then the stories are fllustrated on blackboards and the students called upon to recite couplet after couplet. Another interesting test that is to be placed upon primary teachers attending this summer &chool is the art of original story telling. Teachers will be given sub- jects and trained In making interesting little stories as lllustrations, entertalnment and for educational purposes. Bi Red Book Coming. Over nine hundred pages are required for the Official Red Book which will probably be in the hands of the secretary of the state in the course of a week.

ROOSEVELT THANKS SIR HORACE PLUNKETT Irish Homestead Weekly Pablishes Letter Written by Former President March 2. DUBLIN, May 2.—The Irish Homestead Weekly, organ of the Irish Agricultural Organization society, publishes a letter to- day from President Roosevelt to Ambas- sador Bryce, dated March 2. It refers to the work of the Country Life commission in the United States and Mr. Rooseveit's own active iInterest in the farm question as the outcome of work accomplished through the farmers' co-operative move- ment in Ireland, of which his old friend, Sir Horace Plunkett, of the Department him to Kurope. Frederick Eckstein, the aseistant secretary and treasurer of the company who was Included in the cotirt order, said he knew the combination of the vaults and was ready to aid in getting the books if they were still there. Judge Lacombe declared that under the circumstances he would be lenlent. He fixed Tuesday afternoon as the time for them to report in court again and added: “The court appreciates the honest etforts of the directors to get out of the scrape. They are unfortunate In getting associated with & man who Is too terrified to allow his books to be examined. Ax long as the book# are on earth and have not been burned the effort must be made to produce them." The mutilation of books of a corporation, as charged by District Attorney Wise, is a crime under the state law. The federal statutes cover the removal of books, and such an act may be construed as grand larceny. The directors involved, Mr. Eckstein, As- sistant District Attorney Smith and two deputies went to the offices of the United | Coppér company on Broadway tonight to hunt for the books. F. Augustus Heinze had gone, but Eckstein, who is assistant tr surer, readily opened the vaults. He stepped inside, turned on a light and then exclaimed: “They're not here.” Books Not in Vault. The subpoenas called for a total of eix- teen books, including ledgers, journals, cash, letter and stock books of 1907, but none of them was found in the vaults. Even the mutilated ledger, which repre- sentatives of the district attorney had pre- viously been permitted to examine, was missing. The searchers, however, found some books other than those called for in the subpoena, and these were placed in charge of the United States marshal. The United States district attorney was in- Jignant over the manner in which fhe United States and his office had been “flaunted by Helnze,” as he expressed it. He referred to it as “a cowboy holdup,” and added: ““They are getting to have a different id: of the way that things may be done in this juriediction these days. They thought this case that they could take thelr of- ficers and ship them abroad or put them on a train for Canada, and then tell us that we could not have the books because they | might be incriminated.

PARIS, May 2.—As Investigation con- tinues, the seandals in the matter of naval supplies and construction appear to be | more and more serious. Other fnstances of defective material furnished by contractors have been discovered and it has been learned that under the administration of M. Pelletan and M.

MINDEN, Neb., May 2.-—(Special Tele- gram.)~With the jury secured last even- ing after three days’' hard work, the pros- ecution of Bert Taylor made rapld prog- ress today. 1da Taylor, the sister-in-law of the defendant, gave the principal evi- dence against the men accused of a most brutal murder. Tayfor sat with stolld indifference while the girl, who s 14 years of age, told of being wakened in the night by a voice which sald: “This is & crazy negro.” To this she replled: “No, It's Bert Taylor.” The witness then described how he talked family matters with her and Pearl, the Glves of Agriculture in Ireland, kept him in- formed. “We Americans,” the letter says, “owe much to Ireland and Sir Horace Plunkett in the work we are keen in trying to do in the United States, and before I leave had In the seven years that I have been | here this plece of work is the most dam- | nable that I have ever heard of.” F.
