JUDGE HITS TEMPLE LAW.
Declares II In Conflict With constitu-
ton and Therefore Void.

ton and Therefore Void.
Centerville, May Shedding the
Temple amendment unconstitutional,
Judge NJ. A. Roberts Of Ottumwa last
evening sustained the demurrer of
the Burlington attorneys in the case
of Mcclure VS.. the c., B. G. q. for
$1,000 damages. Mcclure was a mem
Der of the Burlington Voluntary Re-
lief association, and accepted the bene.
fits of the association eleven months
after his injury in 1901. Howell &
Elgin, his attorneys, will appeal to
the supreme court Briefly, Judge
Roberts held that the effect of the
amendment was to enable party to
recover twice for the same injury;
once from the association upon his con-
tract to which defendant was party,
and once by direct action against the
defendant. He held that such a rule
is inconsistent with every principle of
the law Of damages, the universal rule
being that a party must recover all
damages for the same injury against
the same party in one action. The
court said that while the legislature
has power for special reasons, arising
from public safety, health or morals
to enact law the effect Of which is
to mulct a railway company in extra
damages for failing to comply with
the same law directly affecting public
welfare, yet in such cases double dam.
ages cannot be recovered until after
thirty days notice, by means Of which
the railway may save itself extra dam
ages by paying the actual damages.
The rule of the Temple amendment is
extraordinary in the respects above
pointed out. No such rule anywhere
pertains to any other persons. Under
the federal constitution, the legisla-
ture is prohibited from passing any
act which deprives any person Of the
equal protection of the laws. Hence,
the amendment is in conflict with the
constitution and void.

NEW INTERUReAN LINE.
Des Moines Company to Build to Ir

Des Moines, May THE Des
Moines Interurban company has just
secured a concession from the Polk
county board of supervisors permit
ting it to erect an overhead crossing
on its new road from the army post TO
Indianola This is taken as an indi-
cation that work is to be pushed on
the proposed extention and that the
company will commence work on the
line in the near future. 1t was the
understanding by the board that the
company desired the concession at
once so that work could commence at
early date.
A. P. Chamberlin, right of way at
torney for the company, has just re-
turned from Newton, where he met the
business men and conferred with
them on the proposition to build from
Colfax to that place. II is understood
Newton has agreed to secure right
of way and that steps have already
been taken to that end. The Inter-

once on the new extension.

BALKAN WAR CLOUD.
Situation Considered Serious, Due to
Intrigue on Part Of Turkey


Intrigue on Part Of Turkey.
Paris, May S-The situation through.
out the Balkans causes serious appre-
hension here, but the French foreign
office says the conditions are not re.
garded as being critical and are con.
sidered to be largely the result of
Turkish intrigue. 1t has been the de-
sire and expectation of France and
other powers, acting jointly, that the
sultan adopt vigorous measures to put
down the Albanian uprising. The
powers received strong assurances
that this would be done, but the re-
cent dynamite outrages at Salonica
and the conflicts between Turkish
troops and Bulgarian bands at other
points have diverted the sultan's at.
tention in another direction and have
permitted a postponement of the
steps looking to carrying out the
powers wishes regarding Albania.
London, May S.-The British gov
ernment's attitude in the Balkan cri.
sis may be summed up as being one of
passive indifference. II is pointed out
at the foreign office here that Great
Britain is not bound by any treaties to
interfere in behalf of Bulgaria. Al
though she was chiefly responsible for
bringing Bulgaria into existence, Great
Britain never undertook the preserva-
ton of Bulgaria's interests, though
she is pledged to maintain the integ-
rity of V.e OtsAan empire.

ARMOUR COMPANY GUILTY.
Jury Says Ivory colored Butterine
Violates the Iowa Law.

Jury Says Ivory Colored Butterine
Violates the Iowa Law.
Des Moines, May 9.-The jury in
the Armour butterine case returned
a verdict of guilty last evening. The
state alleged that the company had
violated the law prohibiting the color
ing of artificial butter. The case was
tried out In four hours and the jury
was out but half hour. The packing
company will appeal to the supreme
court. This was the second trial Of
the case. In the first there was dis.
agreement.
A vigorous controversy was indulg-
ed by the attorneys for the state and
for the packing company over the
question Of the introduction Of expert
testimony on the question of color in
butter. The state purposely asked the
state dairy commissioner as to his
ability as an expert to pass upon the
color of the natural and Of the arti.
fetal product. To this the attorneys
for the packing company entered
strong objection. The jury was dis
charged during the argument OF the
point to Judge Given.
The court decided to leave that
question to the judgment and eyesight
of the jurymen. He felt sure that the
jurymen were of sufficient calibre to
pass upon a mere question Of color
and called attention to the fact that
the attorneys had inquired OF the
panel If its members could tell colors
when they saw them, at the time the
examination was going forward. The
Jury decided the question.
The real controversy came to be as
to whether white is a whittier color
than ivory white. That is, shall
ivory be considered the standard of
the color, white, which. as matter
of fact, is colorless. The contention
Of the packing company was that tint
ing butterine the cast of ivory was not
violation of the law because ivory
is white though it is slightly yellow
and certainly is less white than some
kinds of white.
In other words, the white butterine
being colored to the yellowish tint Of
ivory white which is standard of
whiteness, was less white than pure
white but nevertheless conformed to
the law prohibiting the discoloration
of the original white Of the natural
butterine.
The jurymen did not split many
hairs about the question of color.
They decided that a yellowish tint
was not white even though ivory is
white.

Jury Returns Verdict Of Second De-
Gree Murder.


gree Murder.
Creston, May 9.-"Coffee Pot" Will
son was found guilty of murder in the
second degree for the shooting of At
torney Ed. Knight at Lorimor early in
February, the jury returning verdict
after being out all night. There was
no scene in the court room when the
verdict was announced, Wilson sitting
perfectly quiet without allowing a
shade Of emotion to pass over his
face. The verdict was something of q
surprise, as the popular sentiment
seemed to favor acquittal and the
evidence for the defense was regard
ed as very strong in Wilson's favor.
Members of the knight family present
when the verdict was announced ex-
pressed themselves as thoroughly sat
isfied with the decision of the jury.
Judge Parrish sentenced Wilson to
20 years in prison after having over
ruled motion for new trial. The
case will be appealed by Wilson's

FIeNpIsH OUTRAGE INTENDED.
Internal Machine Discovered On New
York Dock Containing Dynamite.

TWIN ooSN SSHeo'b'bS SyhoH'sS'
New York, May 1.-THE discovery
Of an ingeniously constructed Internal
machine containing 100 pounds of dy-
lamite, in half-pound sticks and an
electrically operated mechanism, on
the pier of the Cunard Steamship
inc, frustrated what is believed to
nave been a plot to sink the steamship
Umbria, which sailed at 2 o'clock Sat
lrday, when she was twenty-four hours
out at sea.
A letter received at police headquar-
.ers less than two hours before the
Unbria sailed, revealed the presence
Of the Internal machine. This letter
appears to have been written by a
woman of education. The hand writ
ng is fine and cultured. II was signed
but the police refuse to give out the
name.
At the time the internal machine
was discovered the pier of the Cunard
line was crowded with prospective
passengers and their friends. Almost
q panic ensued when they were or
tered from the pier before the sinister
looking box was removed from its
position alongside the gangway lead
ing to the second cabin.
