MAY LOSE INSURANCE.
If Henry crumrine Died Of Smallpox
FAMILY Will Lose $4,000.

Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo, Jan. 16.-On the question OF
whether Henry Crumrine died of small
pox depends the payment of $4,000 in
surance carried in the Modern Wood
men of America. The case came up IN
the district court today
At the time the smallpox contagion
was at its heighth in this vicinity Henry
Crumrine died and it was reported his
death was due to smallpox.
There were statements that he did
and that he did not. twp of the leading
physicians of the city differing on the
question. Both will be introduced as
witnesses in the case.
The life insurance policy which ME-
Crumrine carried provided that the
holder must be vaccinated or the Or
der would not be liable in case death
resulted from smallpox. Mr.. Crumrine
was never vaccinated, SO that the pay
ment of the policy hangs on the ques-
ton whether or not his death was due
to smallpox.

mittee from Iowa, talked at length in
opposition to the resolution He argued
that the question, whichS-As of great
import to the farmers of the west and
middle west, was being manipulated.
The supporters of the resolution. he
asserted, We're Juggling with Roose-
velt's name in order to curry favor.
Harris gave history of the discussion
OF the question at previous conventions
and said the supporters of the resolu-
tion introduced today had always
evaded the issue until now, when they
had a distinct majority. He advised
against action on the question at this
time.
Jerry Simpson, former congressman
from Kansas, and now from Roswell,
N. NJ, ridiculed the stand taken by
Harris. and favored the resolution. as
did also other delegates. The discus
sion closed and the resolution was
adopted by a large majority. Later

dent of the National Wool Growers

resolution and complimented the con-

Iowa Woman to Hypnotism.
st. Louis, Jan. 16.-Miss Sina Dar-

OF Attorney ID. d. Wilson, says her
friend Mrs. Mamie Byrnes, wife of j.
E. Byrnes. of Des Moines, and heiress
to fortune of $4,000 left her re-

night at the city hospital as an Indirect
result of hypnotic influences exerted
over her by certain magnetic healer
OF this city for whom, Miss Darman
declares, Mrs. Byrnes left her home and
husband to come to st. Louis.
Mrs. Byrnes' death was ascribed to
gastritis. She was at the city hospital
only few days and was frequently
visited by Miss Darman, with whom
she had roomed before being taken i'll.
Her husband has asked that her body
be shipped to Vinton, Iowa.

Mrs. Byrnes before she went to the
hospital. Miss Darman declares that

WILL Let sMooT IN
Senators Do Not eelieve He Will Be
Barred from Senate.

Washington. Jan. 1G.-Several sena-
tors were asked yesterday whether
there would be opposition to accepting
the credentials Of Apostle Reed Smoot
as the new sens>or from Utah. They
said they did not believe there would be
any opposition. So long as the creden-
tials come in the proper form from the
governor,of Utah, they believe the sem
ate will not go behind the certificate to
inquire into Shoots religion, politics,
race or color.
.Snoot is as sure Of seat In the
senate as he is of election" said Sena-
tor Perkins. Of California. "The sem
ate will not question the credentials, If
they are made out properly by the gov
e,nor of Utah. 1t is none of the senate's
business whether senator's religious
belief runs toward Mormonism or
Buddhism or any other ism. The fact
that mans selection may be of ques-
tionable propriety is for the state to
determine. If Utah can stand 1t the
senate can.'
Senator Burrows. Of Michigan, took
the same view. Others said they had
no doubt that Smoot would be sworn
in Immediately upon the presentation
of his credentials.

Taking OF of Coal Duty Great Surprise
in England.

London. Jan. 16.-"British coal pro-
ducers are stunned at Americas light
ninglike suspension Of the coal duty"
said Allen Greenwell, editor of the Col
liery Guardian this morning. .The
effect en- European expectation to the
United States remains to be SEEN" he
continued "At first blush 1t looks as
liz that effect would be extremely inn
portant, but we must not forget certain
permanent factors that are likely 10 de-
termine the outcome.
prices in the London coal market
have thus far not been affected and
the majority of British coal men doubt
the possibility o fany large abiding
business for them in the United States
or for United States producers in Eu-
rope, as long as the present relative
proportion of coal deposits In the two
parts of the world continue They be-
lieve that such business would be eco
nomically unnatural and threfore short
lived. They are convinced that the
money Americans have invested in
docks and special ships to export coal
to Europe will be wasted and they hes
itate to embark in trade that would
expose them to penalties for the same
mistake. Even should coal flow from
Great Britain to America in quantities
sufficiently large to affect the general
situation there, much of 1t would be
only temporary trade.
1--WE anticipate rather minor conse-
cuences. However, the trade is keenly
interested in the question and will over
look no chances of profit. Undoubt-
edly it would be a great pleasure to the
leaders of the British coal industry to
be instrumental in mitigating the hard
ships of the fuel famine in the United
States and that aspec. Of the case may
prove more powerful than any one ex-
pects"
No further large orders have yet been
received from America. The mos. inn
portant houses do not expect large eX-
ports OF coal to the United States. They
believe that Canadian coal vii. chiefly
benefit by tn erebate of duties. Nearly
all the English coal heretofore sent to
the United States was ordered by spec
ulators, the leading American mer-
chants not being buyers on account of
the length of time required to arrange
for large shipments from England.

SENATE WILL RATIFY
Senator'S Assure Roosevelt. There VIII;
Be No Difficulty in Securing Approx
al Of the Cuban Treaty.

Washington, Jan. ls-President
Roosevelt was today assured by sena-
tors Aldrich, Lodge and spooner OF
their belief that the Cuban reciprocity
treaty would be ratified by the senate.
The treaty Is now satisfactory to all
the republicans and to some Of the
democrats. SO that 1t Will be practically
impossible to defeat it for want of a
two-thirds vote. There are fifty-nve
republican senators, and the treaty will
need fifty-eight votes for ratification.
The democrats who are threatening to
hold up the treaty can not do so with
out solidifying their votes against it.
They can not do that. They are divid-
ed, and there will be quite a number of
democrats voting for the treaty The
republican managers have no fear of
the treaty being defeated.

at Storm Lake. He was of the Second
Iowa infantry and a good soldier. He
is we'll known to the members of the
board of control as to all the state
officers and his selection to the post OF
quartermaster by Col. Horton meets
with hearty approval. No more hon
est. capable and faithful employe of the
state has ever held place in the state
house.
The implement dealers of Iowa have
at last launched their mutual insur-
ance company. Two years ago their
state association endorsed the plan of
having the insurance on implement
stocks carried by the members of the
association themselves and commit
tee was appointed to take up the work.
This committee last year reported that
"a sufficient number had not signified
their intention of taking out the insur-
ance to warrant organizing, but at the
meeting recently held in Des Moines
the committee was directed to organize.
The insurance association has therefore
been started and to some extent the
implement dealers will become more
independent.
The Wilcox family of Des Moines
and Guthrie Center appears to be able
to create sensations In widely separate
parts of the country almost simultane-
ously. The other day Andrew went
daft in Omaha and his brother Charles
came to his rescue and threatened to
sue the insanity board for heavy dam
ages. In less than a week Charles
turns up in court in New York and
while defending himself is stricken
dumb and rendered unable to open his
jaws. Andrew was sent to the insane
hospital at Clarinda for second time.
He has previously been in the Mt.
Pleasant hospital twice and was con-
fined in hospital in Massachusetts
once before Both Of the young men
are we'll read in the law and unusually
bright men in some matters.
Congressman ]. N. w. Rumple, of the
Second Iowa district, who recently
went back to Washington to attempt
to resume his seat in congress re-
turned at once to Chicago and entered
a hospital again, and now word comes
here that he is on the point of death
and his condition was regarded as so
serious that he sent for his law partner
from Marengo to come to his bedside.
Practically all hope of further pro-
longing Capt Rumple's life has beer
given UP by his friends.
