RESIGNS UNDER SHADOW.
Or. c. II. Hoffman Departs From
Drake University.

Des Moines, Feb. CDR. C. H. Hoff-
man, Phi. D., M. D., of the chair Of Pa
thology. Bacteriology, Toxicology and
Physiological Chemistry, and secre-
tary of the faculty of the Iowa College
of Physicians and Surgeons. has ten
dered his resignation. Before doing
SO he stated to Dean Hill M. Bell that
his name was not Hoffman at all; that
he had married his wife, taken out life
insurance and had been graduated I'M
der different name. This name he
refused to divulge.
This crisis had been precipitated by
a request from Dean Bell that DR..
Hoffman produce his diplomas. There
had grown up suspicion among GER
tain members Of the faculty that he
did not have any diplomas. 1t is al
legged that DR.. Hoffman claimed to be
graduate of Heidelberg university.
So much had been raid that Dean
Bell demanded that he should produce
his diplomas. Then came the astound-
ing statement, my name is not Hoff-
man at ALL"
His resignation was demanded by
the faculty at Drake.
The claim was made that his rea
son for changing his name was that he
had been insane. To escape the igno-
miny that attaches to insanity he said,
he had changed his name. He there.
fore declined to produce any diplomas.
He has gone to Mt. Pleasant whence
he came t. this city. His reputation
as scholar has been of the highest.

USE lNEBRIACY LAW.
Evidence That It Is Being Invoked to
Secure Divorces.

Des Moines, Feb. 5.-There are
reasons to believe that persons desir-
ing to secure divorces and who do
not believe that they would be able
to sustain charges Of habitual drunken
ness in the courts, are using the new
inebriacy law to further their pur-
pose.
1t is confessedly easier to secure a
writ of commitment under the in
ebriacy law than it is to prove a
charge of habitual drunkenness in a
divorce suit. Recently several petit.
tons for divorce alleging habitual
drunkenness have been filed in the
district court and in each of these the
claim is set up that this charge has
been established from the fact that
the defendant has been held to be an
inebriate under the new law, the evil
dent purpose being to use this record
in proving up the charge.
One of the judges yesterday in dis
cussing this phase Of the law said that
if defense is made in any one Of the
cases the plaintiffs will probably meet
with a circumstance. He said that in
asmuch as plaintiffs in the divorce
suits had filed the informations in the
inebriacy proceedings, he is disposed
to hold that they have waived their
rights and that they must wait the re-
suit of the treatment at the asylum be-
fore proceedings with the prosecution
of the cases. He minated that he
would grant divorce on the charge
of habitual drunkenness in these cases
only when 1t had been demonstrated
that the treatment asked for by the
wife has failed to effect a cure.

SECRET, ALLIANCE EXISTS.
Discovery Of Fact Is Most Important
In Venezuelan Matter.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Disclosure Of
the secret alliance between Germany
and Italy constituted the most import
ant development in the Venezuelan sit
uation Saturday. This fact has been
made known to the British ambassa-
dor, and 1t will put all of the negotia-
tors more closely on their guard in
the drafting Of the protocols which
they hope to submit to Minister Bow
en- during the next few days. The
German-Italian alliance was old news
to Mr.. Bowen, the fact having leaked
out in Caracas before he left there.
Generally speaking, the alliance is in.
tended to secure Italy the same treat
ment in the allies settlement with
Venezuela as that received by Ger
many and Great Britain. Mr.. Bowen
has made it plain both to British am.
bassador and to German minister,
Baron Speck Won Stcrnberg, that he
cannot affix his signature to any pro-
tocols they may present to him which
are not substantially of the same char
acter as that to be submitted by the
Italian ambassador. Signor Mayor Des
Planches. All three of the first set Of
protocols to be signed, which will con.
tain the conditions precedent to the
raising of the blockade and the provis-
ions for referring the question of pref
erential treatment to The Hague for
decision, have been received at the
Italian, British and German embassies.
Their contents are not known to Mr..
Bowen, nor have the allies represen-
tatives been acquainted as yet with
the details of each others convention.

LESS PAY THAN MINERS.
Railroad Trackmen Of Iowa Will Ef.
feet Organization.

Des Moines, Feb. 7.-Deputy State
Labor Commissioner Holder has been
informed of the .act that an effort Is
being made among the railroad track
men Of Iowa to perfect a labor or
ganization. An appeal has been made
to him to send organizers to assist in
the work and he has referred the mat
ter to the officials of the Internation-
al Trackmen's union.
According to the last report of the
railroad commissioners there are
about 10000 employees of this charac-
ter in the state. According to figures
obtained from the same source their
pay is considerably smaller than
that Of the striking miners of the
Pennsylvania coal mining region.
The work is of most exhausting
character and fraught with consider
able danger for the reason that the
men are always working in the vicin.
ity of moving trains. The track la.
borers are exposed to all kinds Of
weather and are compelled to under
go many hardships that are not toler-
ated by any other craft.
- Section foremen in this state re-
ceive as their minimum and maxi
mum pay, respectively, $1.31 and
$1.S9 per day. Their work is contin-
Gus. The common track laborer
receives as minimum wage $1.10
and as a maximum $3.50 per day.
Their work is not continuous
and sometimes they are laid off
for weeks at a time. On this income
many of the men support families.
The movement for organization is
induced by the fact that the section
men are observing the better condi-
tions of the organized crafts in the
railroad business They want to
make their condition better and or
ganizaton is being agitated with this

TO TRY GRAVEL ROAD.
Many Miles to be Constructed by Polk
County Next Season.

Des Moines, Feb. 6.-Polk county
will try the experiment of gravel
roads. During the coming season a
large amount of money Will be spent
in the construction Of gravel roads
leading from the pavement ends of
Des Moines streets to points beyond
the city limits.
Supervisor Frank Morris, represent
ing the First supervisoral district on
the board of county commissioners Is
authority for the above statement. To
reporter for the News, Mr.. Morris
outlined the plans of the board for
the ensuing year, stating that it was
the intention to extend work in this
direction until the question of good
roads in Polk county will have been
solved.
1T is not an entirely new expert
ment," said Mr.. Morris. I'VE put in
some gravel roads last summer. That
was really an experiment. 1t has
proven great success and we expect
to follow it up with roads leading in
every direction from the city of Des
Moines, l cannot say how far this idea
will extend, but it seems to me the
good roads question is nearing a
rapid solution and that is in gravel
ing"
1t Is estimated that twenty miles of
gravel road in Polk county will have
been constructed before the close of
next season.

MORTGAGE LAW CONSTRUED.
Sale Of Mortsaged Property Not Al
WAYS Crime.

Des Moines, Feb. THE supreme
court yesterday ruled that the stat
ute making the selling Of mortgaged
property a larceny Is one that re-
quires a specific criminal intent A
technical violation of the law, the
court holds, is not sufficient to secure
a conviction. ''.'
The case in point is that of r. A.
Kletzing against F. w. Armstrong,
appellant, an appeal from Marshall
county, G. w. Burnham, judge. Kletz-
ing Is suing for damages for malicious
prosecutions. He alleges that Arm.
strong made three efforts to secure
his conviction for selling property
which he had mortgaged to the prose-
cutor and that in each instance the
suit was instituted maliciously. The
case comes to the supreme court on
the point whether or not the court be.
low was right in acquitting Kletzing
of violation of the statute.
1t appears that Kletzing had mort
gagged considerable personal property
to Armstrong and that with the yer.
bal consent of the mortgage parts
Of the property had on three separate
occasions been sold. In each instance
the money obtained from the sale was
turned over to Armstrong to apply on
the mortgage. Some trouble arising
between the parties, Armstrong pro-
cured Kletzing's arrest under the fol
lowing state law:
IF any mortgagor Of personal prop
erty while the mortgage on it remains
unsatisfied wilfully destroy, conceal
sell or in any manner dispose of thl
property covered by such mortgage
without written consent of the then
holder Of such mortgage, he shall be
guilty of larceny and punished accord
ingly."
The court hands down a definition
of the word ''wilful" which. it says
implies "a determination to do the
prohibited act with bad intent and
without justifiable excuse" The
court holds that Kletzing's act was
not wilful In this sense and declares
that a law that would countenance
a criminal prosecution in the case
stated would be "abhorrent to every
sense of justice" The court also
holds that the word written" as it
is used In the statute, is intended
merely to lay down a technical rule
Of evidence and cannot be construed
to convert an honest act into a Grim.
inal one.

A THOUSAND DROWNED.
SOUTH SEA ISLANDS SWEPT BY
THE SEA.
More Than One Thousand Souls Are
a Carried to Their Death.

Saii'So ~ SCduis
San Francisco, Feb. 9.-News OF
fearful loss of life in a destructive
storm that swept over the South Sea
islands last month, reached here yes
terday on the steamer Mariposa direct
from Tahiti. The loss of life is esti-
mated at one thousand souls. On jan
uary 10. last, huge tidal wave ac-
companied by terrific hurricane, at
tackled the Society islands and the
Puamoto group with fearful force,
causing death and devastation never
before equalled in that land of dreaded
storms.
The storm reigned several days.,
reaching it's maximum strength be-
tween January IA and 16. From the
meager news received at Tahiti up to
the time of the sailing of the Mariposa
it is estimated that one thousand of
the islanders lost their lives. 1t is
feared that later advices will add to
the list.
The first news Of the disaster ar
rived at Papeete, Tahiti, January 26,
on the schooner Eimeo. The captain
of the schooner placed the fatalities at
500. The steamer Excelsior arrived at
upSStC luS lOllO"ih5 hoy INV
destitute survivors. The captain OF
the Excelsior estimated the total loss
of life at 800. The figures comprise
only the deaths on the three islands of
Hao, Hikuera and Makokon, whose
ordinary population is 1900. On Hi
kuera island, where 1000 inhabitants
were engaged in pearl diving, nearly
one half were drowned. On an ada
cent island 100 more were washed out
to sea. Makokan and Hao are de-
populated. Conservative estimates at
Tan.L place the number of islands
visited by tidal wave and hurricane at
eighty Ali of them are under the
control of the French governor at
Tahiti.
The surviving inhabitants are left
destitute of food, shelter and clothing,
all having been swept away by the
storm.
The French government upon re-
ceipt Of news of the disaster took
prompt measures to relieve the dis
tres ed district and dispatched two
warships, the Durance and Zeloe, W n
fresh water and provisions. The ltal-
ian war vessel Calabria, accompanied
the two French vessels on their er-
rand of mercy. AS the supply OF
fresh water and provisions was totally
exhausted by the storm, it is feared
that many lives will be lost before
the relief ships arrive. AS far as is
known eight white people were among
the drowned
