fer Her Escape.
Iowa March l3.-Attotney George, b.
Holbert, who has defended Mrs. Gall
laugher in both her trials for the muir
der of her husband and in the perjury
proceedings in which she was found
guilty by IA jury last Sunday morning,
has sprung surprise on the prosecu-
ton and caused n sensation by an
nouncing that he had made a discovery
OF error in the return of The perjury in
dicemtn, which would certainly give his
client a new trial.
The error discovered lies in the fact
that the indictment is improperly dated,
charging that Mrs. Gallangher perjured
herself on Oct. 5. The 9TH of October
was Sunday. and no court was held on
that date County Attorney Fairchild
acknowledges that the Indicemtn reads
as charged, but scorns the contention
that the error, which is a clerical one
will give any ground for new trial OF
the case. On the other hand, Holbert is
confident of securing q new trial on
this and other grounds. Judge Bying-
ton will convene cour. Saturday for
the purpose of sentencing Mrs. Gallau-
CHER.
Another perjury case may grow out
of the recent Gallagher case wherein
Mrs. Sarah Ellen gallagher was
charged with having sworn falsely in
her trial for murder 1t was rumored
today that Miss Opal ColdWell, VINO
was one of the witnesses in the case
may be indicted for perjury. The ru-
NOR has not been confirmed by the
states attorneys, and they are assum-
ing the same reticense for which they
have been noted during the entire pro-
ceedings. Miss ColdwH is Is years of
age, and is cousin of Mrs. Gallaush-
er's. The testimony given by her in
the recent trial was in direct opposition

STUDENT MASS MEETING.
An Enthusiastic Gathering to Prepare
for the Debate.

for the Debate.
Special to Times publican.
irinnell, March 13.--An enthusiastic
mass meeting was held yesterday af-
ternoon at the college chapel to arouse
enthusiasm over the debate with Cor
nell tonight. Loyalty ran at a fever
heat and the chapel was made to ring
with patriotic yells and a few songs
that will be sprung in the Cornell con-
tingent. The sentiment was plainly
that we must defeat Cornell in debate
as in football. Professor Horn made
a witty, strong plea for support and
Dean Main was called upon who as
serted that the team had done strong
work collecting evidence and formulate
ing material and deserved the mutual
support of the students.
For the students. Don" Evans, foot
ball captain and half miller in the track
team, declared that Grinnell spirit had
won football battles and track meets,
and would do so in a debate. Mabel
Dunbar for the ladies declared that
everyone must attend the debate and
yell for old Grinnell without standing
on any dignity.
President Bradley said that the al
umni from the Atlantic to the Pacific
were of the opinion that Grinnell would
win in debate when she wants to. He
spoke enthusiastically for what sup
port would do for a team, recounting
some of his own efforts in such work.
President Hutchins of the debating
union. called upon Delbert Dunn, a
former loyal student and now Of the
State University, to say something and
he spoke inspir:ngly of Grinnelfs adj
w. f. Hunting acted as yell master
and he was we'll aided by the three
hundred or more students who had
come out to attend the meeting.
The seats were going fast last night
and most of them are sold in the par
quet, dress circle, and balcony, While

dents will help fill the colonial.

Reliable Data Shows Objections

Plan to Be Overcome
CHEAPER THAN OLD METHODS
Better Teachers Can Be Employed at
Better Salaries the Per Capita Cost
of Education Is Reduced, and Other
Advantages Are Derived IN after is
Under Consideration at Marathon.
Special to Times-Republican.


Des Moines, March 13.-In an address
before the teachers convention at Mar
athon the principal of the schools
Professor G. r. Roberts, a few days
ago presented the most concise argu-
ments which have yet been presented
for the establishment of a central
township school and the abandonment
of the little rural schools. The matter
is being considered at Marathon and
Professor Roberts has taken the pains
to secure reliable data in regard to the
success of consolidation elsewhere.
State Superintendent Barrett, who is
a strong advocate of consolidation, has
just received a copy of the Roberts adj
dress. Professor Roberts made an in
vestigation of the consolidation plan
at Terrell, Dickinson county, where 1t
was started two years ago. He found
that when it was adopted at Terrell it
was carried by just one vote AMI the
system went into effect, therefore, I'M
der discouraging auspices. The CEN
trail school to take the place Of the
rural school cost $4,000 and has four
rooms. The school has run along
without q break and every objection
has been fairly met. A year ago the
proposition to sell the old school house
was carried by an overwhelming vote,
only twenty-seven being cast against
1t, and the houses We're sold for $1,250.
The people feared pad roads, but this
fear was without foundation for the
Terrell school never missed a day on
that account. The central system has
been shown to be cheaper than the dis
trict school system. There was objec-
ton that the children would be kept
too long on the road and would waste
valuable time, but it has been found
that the school day may be made lit
tie shorter and there is less objection
to a child riding six miles IN closed
hack than to walking two miles in the
rain or snow. 1t was said farm land
values would decrease at long distances
from the central school, but bankers
report that this is not their experience
at all. There was fear that evil in
fuences would surround the larger
school, but it is found that supervis-
ion is better than in the small schools.
Professor Roberts summed up by de-
claring that the central school plan for
the township will secure better teachers
at better salaries, reduce the percapita
cost of education, insures better class
ification of the pupils so that their
time is used TO better advantage, makes
possible better supervision. the atten-
dance is larger and steadier, better
buildings and apparatus are provided,
children remain at school work until
further advanced in years because of
opportunity for higher studies and the
school year is longer and terms more
regular.

BRoER's BODY FOUND
Farmer Who Disappeared So Myster-
iously from Eldora Found Hanging
to a Tree Near omaha-Was Strange
Case.

Special to Times Republican.
E,ldora, March 13.-The body of
Henry Broer, who disappeared so
mysteriously about four weeks ago.
was yesterday found hanging to n tree
near Omaha, Neb., word to that effect
being received by the relatives here
last night
Broer was a prosperous farmer liv
ing few miles from Eldora. His
leaving home was a great mystery to
his friends and relatives, and 1t will
probably never be known just why he
did go away. The most plausible
theory is that his mind had become
unbalanced by some little trouble he
had with the church and for the set
tlement of which it was supposed he
had started for Tama at the time he
disappeared The matter was tritiing
and in no way reflected on Broer's
honor or standing in the church. For
Il time it was thought he had taken
sudden notion to visit his old home
in Germany. but a cablegram brought
the information that he was not there.
Then the relatives began to suspect
foul play and search has been going
on for the past month.
The information from Omaha gives
a good description and says says letters
We're found on the body addressed to
Henry Broer, Eldora,' SO there is
little doubt but that the Identification
is correct. He had SIG in money in his
rocket when found. 1t Is not known
how much he had when he left. The
general belief is that he committed
suicide and that he has been insane
since he left home. A brother started
this morning for Omaha to claim the
