Cherokee Grand Jury, After Inquiry,
Reports No indictment Against
Cherokee Treasurer.

Cherokee. Ia, Dec. 1.-The grand jury
Of this county made its final report TO
the court last night, after having been
in session a larger part of the time since
November 4. The general supposition
is that this body has been Investigating
the Office and conduct OF j. E. McClin-
took. county treasurer, n in q most
careful and painstaking way they APP
pear to have followed every rumor and
charge back to its source. After this
full investigation the jury makes no
report whatever to the court concern
ing this Office or officer, which amounts
to the most complete yindication OF
Mr.. McClintock and his conduct in the
Office. This yindication is received
with great satisfaction by MI. Nc
Clintock's many friends and by the
community in general irrespective of
party affiliations. The suspicion that
there was something wrong seems TO
have arisen during the heat Of a cam
paign and at the most there has never
been anything further charged than a
technical violation OF the law and even
that now appears to have been entirely
without foundation.

Her Home More Attractive.
Chicago, Dec. 2.-LoYe for her husband
and a desire to make his home more at
tractive were the motives which led Mrs.
Marie Ludwig, an Evanston bride of two
months. to steal valuable household ar
ticles from a fashionable Evanston apart
ment. Costly vases, bric-a-brac, and
draperies worth nearly 800 were found
adjoining the humble little cottage in
which the Ludwigs live, at Sherman
avenue and Lee street, today. The wom-
an was arrested.
Her husband, when he learned the
source of the fine furnishings that a
been brought into the house by his wife,
broke down and wept. Unable to secure
bail for his wife, he pleaded with the
Evanston police to be allowed to spend
the night in the cell with his wife behind
the barred doors. This was refused.
oh, why did you do this, Marie?' he
asked in heart-broken tones Of his wife
behind the barred doors.
Mrs. Ludwig, who is only q and pretty,
did not weep. She bore up stoically and
showed no repentance.
"Our little house looked SO bare" she
said. Il wanted to mak it CHEEKY. Who
would miss a few vases and

DISGRACE FOR ONE
Either General Wood or Major Runci.,
Will Suffer Ii Because of Wood
a -. n,,oc&;oaSio

Washington, Nov. 30.-Friends of Sen"
htor Hanna said today that the presi-
dent has assured him that If it could be
proved that General Wood had inspired
the article written by Major James E.
Runcie, criticising General Brooke, the
nomination of General Wood for promo
ton to be major general would be with
drawn.
General Wood. in his detailed defense Of
himself, fled with the war department.,
denied that he suggested that the article
be written or that he knew anything
about 1t until his attention was called
to the publication, and declared that he
was so shocked and surprised that he did
not at first believe that his friend Runcie
had written it, but thought his name
had been ~wrongfully used in connection
with the article.
In his testimony before the senate CON-
mittee on military affairs, Major Runcle
declared on oath that the article in ques-
lion vas planned at a dinner in Santiago
at which General Wood. Ray Stannard
Baker and himself were present; that
General Wood asked him to write the
article and he had done so.
Ray Stannard Baker, the third person
at the dinner, has been subpoenaed, ana
Major General Brooke has been called to,
sub%stantiate. or disprove some OF the
statements in the article.
Upon Bakers testimony will depend
whether General Wood or Major Runcie'
retired, shall leave the army in disgrace.
The situation has become such mat It's Is
believed that both cannot with honor re-
main in the service.
Major Runcie, although on the retired
list, is still amenable to military resuia-
Mons, and can be court-martialed. FRIENDS
