not go on the stand was sufficient to
create almost as much of sensation

His silence Is regarded as quite re-

by the Sullivans of the robbery. This

escape of the three, the wounding of
Baird and his capture, and the disap

HoSSAcK JURY DISAGREES.
Stood Nine for Conviction and Three
for AcquittaI From the Start.


for AcquittaI From the Start.
Winterset, Feb. 2S.-The jury in the
Hossack murder case, after being out
80 hours, at 9 o'clock last evening re-
ported that they were unable to agree,
and they were called into court and
discharged 1t is stated that almost
from the first, after the jury was sent
out with the case, at o'clock Thurs
day afternoon, it stood nine for con-
viction and three for acquittal. Dur
ing all the long hours there were
heated arguments and Efforts of those
on each side to change the minds of
the jurymen who could not agree with
them. The three men who were for
acquittal of the accused woman could
not be turned, and vowed they would
stay there always before they would
vote for conviction.
This action of the jury throws the
case back practically to where it
started, and unless something I'M
usual and unforeseen occurs 1t will
have to be brought up and tried over
again.
It is stated the sentiment Of the
people of Winterset was largely in
favor of acquittal, and the assertion
is made that this sentiment prevailed
to a considerable extent among even
those who believed the evidence as
given pointed to the guilt of Mrs. Hos
sack. They argued that there were
extenuating circumstances brought
out by the life which the woman and
her husband had led. The age of Mrs.
Hossack also brought considerable
sympathy to her, as well as did the
loyalty for their mother displayed by
her children.

MUST RENEW BONDS YEARLY.
Important Ruling as to Saloonkeepers
Made by Judge Given.

Dcs Moines, Feb. ga point de-
veloped in the trial Of the state
against B. F. Parker and was passed
on by Judge Given that will be of in
terest to those engaged in the liquor
business in the state.
The testimony showed that Parker
had procured the bond filed with his
consent from an indemnity company,
and that tne year for which he had
paid the tax expired in September
last. The bond was not renewed I'M
til January. The state maintained
there had not been compliance with
the mulct law, inaSmuch as there had
been no bond for the period between
September and January. The defense
claimed, and offered testimony to
show there had been bond, the con.
tention being that the bond ran in
definitely, or as long as saloon was
conducted by the parties named in
the bond upon the premises it describ-
ed. There was evidence to the effect
Parker placed his bond business in
the hands of the local agent of one of
the bond companies and depended
upon Hlu W IGlc" dlo, anu IhlL
it was the oversight of the agent that
resulted in the fling OF the bond. But
the principal contention was that in
as long as the first bond was in force
there was no occasion for a renewal,
that the law had been complied with.
Judge Given instructed the jury that
the law contemplates the fling of a
new bond the first day of each year
and the payment Of the mulct tax
upon the first day Of each quarter.
He said that failure to do this does
away with the protection afforded by
the law, and that the sales of liquors
become violations of the old Clark
law. 1t was ascertained yesterday
that great many saloonkeepers in
Des Moines fail to renew their bonds
from year to year, figuring that bond
continues until revoked by those sign.

COUNCIL AFTER RAILROADS.
Wants Full Real Estate Valuation by
Assessors.

Des Moines, Feb. 2s.--It has re-
Gently become known to the execu.
tive council that the railroads have
agents working In nearly every coun.
ty in the state ascertaining the mum.
Der of real estate transfers that have
taken place during the past year and
the exact consideration that passed
in each instance.
The reason assigned for this by the
members of the executive council Is
that the railroads are afraid that the
council in acting as board of equal
ization will again attempt to increase
the valuation of their properties
They hope through their agents tc
secure data that will show that the
assessors Of the state are returning
valuations of about 16 instead of %
per cent, and with this as basis will
protest against any other effort tc
make them pay more taxes than they
now are.
At the meeting of the state board
of equalization last year the attor
neys for the railroads of the state
made a strenuous effort to prevent
the placing of an increased valuation
on their systems. This effort was
partially successful, although the
council raised tho valuation about
y 100000, lust Tor luck" as the Sec
rotary Of the council said yesterday.
This year the railroads realize that
if they are to prevent a large increase
thep must convince the state board
that they are being done an injustice.
If the assessors of the state follow out
their usual practice and return valu-
atoms of about 16 per cent the rail-
roads will be successful or will at
least be able to make showing that
will warrant them in appealing to
the courts. The executive council is
aware that If low valuation is re-
turned this year they will be unable
to get anything more out Of the rail-
roads in the way of taxes, hence the
recent Inauguration Of a campaign
calculated to Undue the assessors
with a full sense Of their duty. 1t is
given out cold by the executive coun.
Gil that If any of the assessors are
found violating the law in returning
low real estate valuations they will
get the full benefit Of the Iowa
statutes which give the state civil
remedy against assessors who will
fully and negligently" fail to perform
their full duty.

COLOR is NOT A BAR.
President Writes Letter Regarding
Southern Appointments.

Southern Appointments.
Atlanta, Ca. March I'm a letter
to Clark Howell, editor Of the Consti-
tuition, on the subject of federal ap-
pointments in the south, President
Roosevelt says in part:
las to federal appointments in the
south, frankly, it seems to me that
my appointments speak for themselves
and that my policy is self explanatory.
So far from feeling that they need the
slightest apology or justification, my
position is that on the strength of
what have done have the right to
claim the support of all good citizens
who wish not only high standard of
federal service but fair and equitable
dealing to the south as well as to the
north and policy of consistent jus.
tice and good will toward all men. In
making appointments I have sought
to consider the feeling of the people
of each locality SO far as l could con-
sistently do SO without sacrificing
principle. The prime tests / have APP
piled have been those of character,
fitness and ability, and when I have
been dissatisfied with what has been
offered within my own party lines I
have without hesitation gone to the
opposite party and you are, of course,
that l have repeatedly done this in
your own state of Georgia.
II certainly cannot treat mere color
as a permanent bar to holding office,
any more than could so treat creed
or birthplace, always provided that III
other respects the applicant or incum-
bent is worthy and well behaved
American citizen. Just as little will
treat it as comforting right to hold

LAvALLEUR JURY DlsAeREEs.
Majority Were For AcqulttaI of Ac-
cused Woman After First Ballot.

Newton, March 2.-The jury in the
Lavalleur murder case after being out
Just twenty-seven hours, were called
into court by Judge Preston and an
nounced that they were unable to ar
rive at a verdict The jury was then
discharged. 1t is learned by talking
with different members Of the body
that the first ballot taken by the jury
soon after they retired to their room,
resulted six for acquittal and six for
conviction. After q short debate on
the evidence a second ballot changed
one juror over to the side Of the de-
PENDANT, making the jury stand to 5.
The third and all succeeding ballots, or
which a large number were taken, re-
suited for acquittal to for conVic-
ton. Only one change was made af'
ter this result had been reached when
two of the jurors who had been vot-
ing for acquittal of Mrs. Lavalleur
turned over and cast their ballot for
conviction. The change was made
with the hope that it would lead one
or more of the four holding out for
conviction to repay the compliment,
and POSSIBILITY make the jury united in
freeing the woman.

RUSSIA MAY FIGHT TURKEY.
Contest at Arms Looked Upon as Al
most Inevitable.

st. Petersburg, Saturday. via Eydt-
kuhnen, German Frontier, March q
Some publications are of the opinion
that only the sternest language to-
wards Turkey can prevent war be-
tween Russia and Turkey in the
spring.
They believe that Turkey will pur-
sue bands of Macedonian revolution
lists across the Bulgarian frontier and
that public opinion will compel Russia
to interfere.
The Russians thoroughly under.
stand that war with Turkey will be
a more severe one than that of 1870.
Officers are quoted as saying that the
Turkish army is the best In the worla,
owing to its German organization and
armament.
There is an inclination here to anti
cipate German financial support Of
Turkey. and in view Of the situation,
forebodings of clash with Turkey
are freely expressed in private, al
though they are carefully suppressed
in the newspapers.
