HAY WINS ONCE MORE.
European Powers Have Agreed Z
Evacuate Shanqhai Soon.

Paris, Oct. 24-From authoritative
sources the correspondent Of the AS
ISOLATED Press has learned that
France. Great Britain and Germany
have concluded an agreement provld-
ing for the military evacuation OF
Shanghai by their forces.
The negotiations have also brought
about an extension Of the open door
policy as urged by Secretary Hay. The
agreement affects not only Shanghai.
but the entire Yangtse kiang valley,
which the powers are seeking to de-
velop for commercial purposes. About
twelve hundred troops will participate
in the evacuation.
Washington, Oct. 24.-The news of
the agreement to finally evacuate
Shanghai was gladly received at the
state department. The United States
government some time ago at the In
stance of the Chinese government be-
gan quietly but persistently to bring
pressure upon the powers concerned
in the occupation of the place to
evacuate it in conformity with
the stipulations of the treaty of
Picking. Not having participated di-
rectly in the occupation. it was neces-
sary for the United States to move
discreetly in approaching the other ma
tons on this subject, but the advances
were well received. and it soon ap-
peared that the only difficulty in bring
ing about the desired evacuation was
the indisposition of each Of the oc-
cupying powers to take the initiative.

EXPRESS COMPANY INDICTED.
Charged by the Grand Jury With Vic
Iation Of Internal Revenue Laws

Charged by the Grand Jury With VIC
Iation Of Internal Revenue Laws
Keokuk. Oct. 23.-The federal grand
jury yesterday returned to the United
States district court an indictment OF
the Adams Express company for an al
legged violation of the internal revenue
laws. Persons at Birmingham re-
ceiyed c. o. D. packages Of whisky
from consignors in Illinois and paid
collections and charges to express
agent.
The grand jury and District Attor-
ney Miles held that the c. O. D.
method constitutes a sale of goods by
the express company to the consignee
and hence requires retail liquor
dealers license.
The express company will be in
dicted as a corporation under a Cali
fornia precedent United States Mar
shall Christian will serve notice on the
president of the Adams Express COM
pany and the agent at Birmingham.
The case grows out of efforts OF
people in many Iowa communities to
prevent the sale of liquor and the ef-
forts Of dealers to circumvent the
Iowa prohibition law.
The latter is badly crippled by de-
cision of the United States supreme
court that interstate traffic Il original
packages cannot be stopped by a state
law. The indictment is based on the
theory that the c. o. D. method may
be stopped through federal court ma
chinery.
1t is the most important step in the
great prohibition struggle in Iowa
since the Original package law OF
fifteen years ago.

have experienced is among those
who haven't decent clothes to wear to

The officer stated that about one-half
of the children not attending school
are kept away on account OF lnsul'
ficient clothing, and that there are at
least 400 children in the West Des
Moines district out Of school This
would make 200 children, most OF them
in q small district Of the city, who are
not sufficiently clothed to permit OIL
their attending a public school.
Various suggestions were made to
remedy the evil. President kurtz sug-
gested that the charitable institutions
of the city who are assisting foreign
fields might do some good at home.
Mr.. Shepard proposed spending some
Of the school funds in providing these
children with clothing. instead OF put
ting it into microscopes and other e1-
pensive apparatus for the high
schools: adding that this would be but
one step In advance Of furnishing free
text books and it would be placing
the fund in q place where 1t Was
needed and would result in more &C.
tual good than At present.
The board adjourned without TAX
ing any action in the matter further
than agreeing that something must be
done, and this as soon rs possible.

NEW POINT OF LAW.
Cannot Order Examination Of Person
in Order to Secure Evidence.

Cannot Order Examination OF person
in Order to Secure Evidence.
Des Moines. Oct. 24.-The supreme
court decided a new and interesting
point of law in an opinion handed
down yesterday. In the case OF the
state VS.. Fred Height, appellant, from
the Linn district court. tried before
Judge William G. Thompson. defen-
dant was convicted of rape. The pro-
scouting witness was under the age
of consent, which accounts for the
charge rather than that force was
used. The girl did not make known
her condition for more than ten days
after the assault is alleged to have
occurred. and only then when her suf-
fering from venereal disease forced
her to do so. In order to establish the
guilt of the defendant he was examined
by physicians. against his protest and
without his consent. and was also
found to be afflicted with venereaI
trouble. Upon this evidence the case
was prosecuted and a conviction Sc
cured. In setting aside the action OF
the trial court Judge McClain launches
into a twenty-page essay on personal
rights from the days OF Caesar down
to the present time. and shows that
the majority OF states prevent such
an examination a. was permitted IN
this instance. There are other
grounds for appeal. all but one OF
which are found sufficient for reversal.
One was the refusal Of the court to adj
NIT evidence to show that the prose-
cutting witness was not a person OF
chaste character and that there had
been opportunity to contract the d!-
sease from other persons other than
the def, ndant.

King Oscars Award Will Not

For Future Action.
DECISION IN SAMOAN CASE
King Decides that the fscts Warrant Him
In Proceeding to Assess Damages sus-
tAined by foreign Residents Against
America and Great Britain.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Advices from
Sweden state that King Oscar, who Is
acting as the arbitrator of the issues
between the United States, Germany
and Great Britain growing out Of the
Samoan rebeiiion of 1899, will decide
that the facts presented to him in the
briefs of counsel. which have been
pending for nearly year, warrant
him in proceeding to assess the dam
ages sustained by foreign residents OF
Samoa as q result of the landing of a
combined force Of American and Brit
ish sailors and marines and the de-
struction of property incident to the
ensuing fight with the rebels. By the
terms of the treaty under which the
three powers agreed to submit these
claims to arbitration the arbitrator
was first to declare whether or not
the American and British were at all
liable for damages and if so then he
was to determine the amount of that
liability.
The next step is to fix the amount
of the damages, and this must be done
by King Oscar upon the basis of the
facts now to be presented by the rep
resentatives of the governments con.
cerned. The German claims are far
larger than the Others, amounting to
S103.91S. while the American claims
are $77,60 and the British only $6,285.
to the arbitration included in
the final judgment. but these are not
OF much consequence. Altogether the
tota! OF the claims is not imposing
and it is certain from the nature OF
the proof adduced in support of many
Of them that even that total will be
heavily scaled down by the arbitrator.
So 1t is not the amount Of money
involved In this approaching decision
of the arbitrator that concerns the
government OF the United States, but
rather the enunciation Of a principle
which, II accepted rs precedent,
would he unpalatable, and would so
seriously restrict the asserting OF
American rights in foreign countries
in case of revolution or rloting jeopar'
dizing the lives and property Of our
citizens that it would amount to the
total withdrawal Of protection. This
can never be admitted, and so it may
be positively stated that, while the
United States government will accept
the arbitration Loyalty and pay any
damages assessed against it. it will
utterly refuse to be bound by such a
principle or to recognize 1t as estab.
fishing a precedent. Otherwise the
United States government could be
held liable for enormous damage in
cases where it lands troops upon the
isthmus of Panama resulting In col
lision with rioters or rebels, even
though the government is solemnly
bound by treaty to preserve free traf
fic across the isthmus. For it is
pointed out that similarly the United
States was bound by treaty in the
case of Samoa to preserve the in
tegrity of the titular government, and
it was in the course of an effort to dis
charge this duty that the claims were
oripi0afed
