Follows Sentiments of Veterans of
the Sixth District.
W. ]. SMITH TO ATTEND DEDICATION
is Appointed Member of Committee
for Ceremonies at Exposition in
May-Mrs. Rumple Remembered in
Deficiency Bill.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 26.-(Spe-
cial. In answer to the petitions re-
ceived from the veterans of the civil
war at Ottumwa and Oskaloosa, Con-
sressman John F. Lacey has declared
himself as unequivocaily opposed to
the proposition to place a statue of
General Robert e. Lee the ex-Confed-
crate commander, in statuary hall in
the capitol.
Mr.Lacey has declared his opposition
not en- account of Lee, the man, but
he takes the ground that such action
would be recognition of the princi-
pies of the Confederacy. which were
wiped out with war and bloodshed.
Smith Is Honored.
Judge Walter |. Smith, congressman
from the tenth Iowa district, has been
appointed by Speaker Henderson, as
9, member of o committee consisting of
fifteen congressman and ten senator's
to attend the dedicatory exercises of
the st. Louis exposition to be held in
May. The appointment is considered
an honor TO Iowa as we'll SIS to Con-
gressman Smith. Mr.. Smith said to-
day that he would attend.

The deficiency bill which is to come
up in the senate tomorrow contains
an item giving Mrs. j. N. w. Rumpfe,

BAIRD STILL SILENT KNAPP C0NFESSES|
RECEIVES VERDICT OF GUILTY
AND is uNMovED.
Accused of HoId-up of Sullivan Fam
lily at Hamilton, Prisoner Refuses to
Take Stand in His Own Defense
To Be Sentenced Saturday.

Knoxville, Feb. 26.-Frank Baird,
charged with robbing P. Sullivan of
$1,000 on New Years eve, went to his
doom dumb and unmoved The trial
finished without his testimony and the
jury was out but a short time, return
ing to court to announce a verdict of
guilty as charged
The defense did not put on any tes-
timony, depending for it's showing, ap-
parently, on the cross examination of
witnesses. The fact that B ird did
not go on the stand was sufficient to
create almost as much of sensation
as he was expected to create if he had
gone on. :
His silence is regarded as quite re-
markable and convinces the people of
the absolute truth of the story told by
the Suliivans of the robbery This
was developed on the trial of Baird to
be about as given in the newspapers
heretofore-two men committing the
robbery within the house while the
third held the team in the road; tho
escape of the three, the wounding of
Baird and his capture, and the disap-
pearance of the other two.
Baird will be sentenced Saturday
morning. There is no reason to doubt
that he will receive the limit, despite
the Disagreement which he suffered on
account of the gun shot wound in
f1icted by Sullivan. In jail last night
Sheriff Bybee visited him for a long
time, but refused to talk of their con
versation. 1t is thought that Baird
did not confess anything to the officer
concerning his companions of that
night.

GOES TOROCK ISLAND
CONTROL OF FRISCO LINE SAID
TO BE TRANSFERRED.
Held to Be Indicative of Far-Reaching
Change Among Western Roads
May Unite With Santa Fe-WouId
Add 5000 Miles to Rock Island.

Chicago, Feb 26.--It is reported on
almost official authority that the Rock
Island has secured control of the
Frisco system and that the deal is a
forerunner of new and far-reaching
community of interests among west
ern lines.
Within one or two months, accord
ing to the report, the Rock Island will
be given representation on the San
ia Fe board, and Santa Fe interests
will have equal representation on the
Rock Island board. 1t is also report
ed that President Yocum is in charge
of the new Rock Island system, which
will be one of the largest, if not the
largest, system in the world under
one management.
The acquisition of the Frisco would
add about 5000 miles to the Rock Is
land, making it system of nearly
$4,000 miles. Should the Pere Mar
quette be included, the system would
be over $4,000 miles.
