FAILED TO ACCOUNT
1owa's Lieutenant Governor Sued
for Value Of Military
Stores.

Des Moines, Ia, April 29.-Lieuten,
ant Governor Reed, according to the
commissary or the Fifty-first Iowa vol
unteer infantry, is charged with being
short $22,442.24 in his accounts with
the federal government, and suit was
instituted against him today by Unit
ed States District Attorney Lewis
Miles in the name of the omitted States.
1t is charged in the petition that Lieu
tenant Reed while on duty at the Pre-
sidio at San Francisco received stores
aggregating over $4,000 in value, for
which he has not accounted and for
the value of which he still owes the
government. AS he has been unable
to conect this amount by other meth
DDS, Attorney Miles was instructed to
bring suit.
The claim of the government was
prepared and sworn to by F. e.. Ritt-
man, auditor for the war department
at Washington.

HAVE The POWER
Municipalities May Sell Property
for Delinquent Improvement
Assessments.

Washington, April 29.-The supreme
court today, in an opinion of Justice
Shiras, upheld the constitutionality of
the North Dakota law relating to as
sessment for Improvements by munich
palities.
The case decided was that of Nor
timer Webster against the city of
Fargo. Under the law the city OF Far
go improved streets on which abutted
certain property belonging to him. He
was charged pro-rata share of the
cost Of the Improvement on the basis
Of his frontage. He refused to pay
the assessment and his property was
sold as provided in the law. He con-
tested the sale on the ground that the
law was unconstitutional, in that it
operated to deprive him of his prop
erty without due process of law, and
denied him the equal protection Of
the law
The supreme court Of North Oak
ota decided in favor of the city, the
only question at issue being the con-
stitutionality Of the law. This decis-
ion was sustained by the United
States supreme court holding that
the law is valid and that the munich
pality proceeded entirely within it's
powers in enforcing it.
Justices Harlan, White and Nc
kenna dissented.

DROWNED HIS CHILDREN
Threw Them Into the Mississippi
River Then Jumped in
Himself.

st. Paul, April 29-The police
authorities believe that William Ros,
enfield has thrown his four children,
ranging from two and half to seven
years of age, into the Mississippi river
fran the Marshall avenue bridge, and
then leaped in after them. All are.
supposed to have been drowned. None
of the bodies have yet been recov-
red, but according to the police re-
port satisfactory evidence is at hand
that the crime was committed Rosen-
field has been separated from his
wife, who had taken three of the chill
dren and gone to Minneapolis to live
with her sister. On Wednesday Ros-
enfield secured horse and buggy,
and taking with him the seven-year-
old child who still resided with him,
drove to the house where his wife
was staying, and while she was at
the sickbed OF her sister, the husband
secured the three younger children
and drove off with them. Before
leaving the house, he is said to have
told one of the inmates that the next
time they saw him or the children
they would be wearing crepe"
Thursday morning the officer Of the
Prairie avenue station found a horse,
still hitched to buggy. wandering
about in the vicinity of the marshal
avenue bridge. In the buggy was q
dog which had been a pet Of the chill
dren, but no other trace OF the occu-
pants mas been found. The theory
OF the officers, which they claim Is
substantiated by traces they have. is
that Rosenfield drove to the center OF
the bridge, which is about 200 feet
above the river, threw the children
into the water and then leaped In
after them

tion's visit to Kansas City two weeks
ago and her alleged hard treatment
at the nands of the police has borne

HIS EM1NENcE CAPTURES
KENTUCKY DERBY.
ALARO sCHECk IS LAST
Favorite Unable to Do Any Better
Than Come in Poor
Fifth.

seventh Kentucky derby has passed
people that saw it can say anything,
except that it was race from the
time the flag went down until the Son
of Falsetto passed under the wire win
ner in the good time of 2:O7A.
It has been said for weeks that with
out the invincible Hermann the der
by would be an open race, and so it
was, but had the recent acquisition Of
Captain Sam Brown been among the
colts that were sent away it is doubt
full if ne would have added to his laur-
els, as His Eminence was fit to bat
tie against any colt in the west. He
won and he deserved to win, for with
long. even strides he negotiated the
distance OF mile and a quarter like
field have occasion to resort to either
whip or spur The track record was
not broken.
1t was nearly O'Clock when the
pugle sounued for the uerby and peo-
pie scrambled for places to see the
event decided. His Eminence, with
WINFIELD in the saddle, emerged from
the paddock, followed by Sannasserro,
Driscoll, Amur and Alard Scheck in
the order named. They were soon at
the .nree-quarter pole, from which
tho Ctort ma
later there was break, the rubber
strip flew across the track and the
yell of s'They are ot1!' broke almost
the breathless stiffness. But they
were not. 1t was an uneven start and
Starter Brown had them called back.
There was a second attempt and
the little red flag went down and the
Iwenty-seventh Kentucky derby was
on. They got away on comparatively
even terms with His Eminence ami
Driscoll having, perhaps, a neck's ad
vantage of the other three. Down the
stretch they came toward the grand
stand and length did not separate
.ne llve colts, with His Eminence in
front, Driscoll second, Alard Scheck
third, San Navarro fourth and Amur
last. Past the stand and around the
lower turn they went with His Emf
nence still setting the pace.
When they stretched out on the
back stretch, WINFIELD on His Emf
nence was hugging the rail, still, a
length in me lead. Alard Scheck had
moved up to second place and was
half length in front Of Amur, who
was about the same distance from
Sannassarro and Driscon, who were
moving down the back stretch on even
terms. They passed the half mile in
this position and reached the three
quarter preparatory to making the
final run down the stretch. Jockey
Woods loosenea MS rein ana called
on Alard Scheck to overtake His Emil
nence, but the horse was not equal to
it, for, little by little, he went back
and as they turned into the stretch,
Sannassarro had moved up into Sec
ond place, followed by Driscoh and
Alard Scheck, Che favorite, was left
to fight it out with Amur.
His Eminence wins" was the JOY
GUS shout that went up from thous-
ands when the Falsetto colt reached
