Of BOARD
ON GUNS Of IOWA
Muzzle Velocity Thought to
Be Too Great.
THE CREW IS EXONERATED

Increase of muzzie velocity and de-
crease of breech pressure are believed
to have been responsible for the blow
ing off of the muzzles OF the two S-inch
guns of the battleship Iowa, on Febru-
airy s.
This is the opinion of the board ap-
pointed by Secretary Moody to inve.,ti~
gate the accident on the Iowa. Capt
J. II. Dayton. president of the board.
submitted his report 10 Secretary
Moody several weeks ago, and it mas
just been made public.
The board found nothing wrong with
the material in the guns. and does not
support the charge that poor metal was
used in their manufacture. The guns
were said to be sufficiently strong for
a muzzle velocity of 200 feet per sec
ond. produced with a breech pressure
OF fifteen tons per square inch. The crew
is relieved of all responsibility for the
accident.
Guns Not Weakened
Previous firing is believed by the
board to have had no weakening eff
fees on the guns Neither is excessive
pressure from abnormal action of the
powder charge nor the premature burst
ing of shells in the bore believed TO De
responsible for the accident. The con
cl,tsion of the board is as follows:
The increase Of muzzle velocity from
200 feet per second to :, 300 feet per sec
ond, while at the same time the maxi
mum breech pressure was decreased
from Is to 1885 tons, the board assumes.
reduced the margin Of safety along the
chase too much. With the small margin
of safety remaining. any unusual con-
ditions tending to throw greater strain
on the chase of the gun, would be
sufficient to account for the accident.
Just what these conditions were in
the case of the Iowa's guns. the board
has been unable 10 determine; IL was
probable a combination in one direc-
ton Of small variations from the nor
NAL. The assumption that the margin
of safety has been reduced too much
should be verified by experiment

TRIAL OF RIOTERS
Russian Newspapers Devoting Much
Space to Reports of Trial Of Persons
Responsible for Anti-Jewish Riots
at Gomel Year Ago.

ST. Petersburg, Nov. i.-Russian
papers are devoting much space to the
trial at Gomel of those alleged to be
responsible for anti-Jewish riots there
in September of last year, a thing al
most unprecedented. Novost, jewish
organ, is especially gratified at the trial
being conducted with open doors, de-
claring this marks new era on the
part of the government towards the
Jewish question.
There are eleven defendants and
sixty-nine other persons who are un-
der the same charge and are being
held under bail. Nine hundred ana

are attempting to prove the disorders
were in the nature of anti-Chrlstlan

for Kishineff affair, rioting two days
after. was retaliation upon the Jews.

Butter for Statuary.

Since an Iowa woman modelled the
head Of ..Dreamlng Iolanthe'' in butter
at the Philodelphla centennial expo
sition, "butter art" has developed Won
derfully, so that now. at this worlds
fair. we have whole groups of life
sized statuary in butter Dreaming
Iolanthe" was reproduced at later fairs
and her features preserved by photo
graphy; and it must be said no sue
ceeding butter sculptor approaches II
in beauty. The Iowa woman's To-
Ianthe was worthy Of marble; other
and later butter figures are not always
models of grace. But butter is but
ter. Graceful and ethereal as Its
forms may be, one would not hesitate
long to slice off a nose or a finger to
butter his pancakes. 1t was some-
times the custom years ago to offer the
butter in the shape of swans swimming
about In a lakelet Of real water In the
center of the table, and at swagger
dinners and banquets it may appear in
designs as varied as ice cream, but
these are not handwrought, merely
oppressed in molds. Butter is now
becoming so rare as compared with
other forms Of "oleaginizing' the staff
of life, that it seems entirely suitable
that it be employed in the fine' arts.
It Is too valuable to eat At least too
valuable except to eat at rare and fee-
tai occasions. Butter in this country
is becoming like roast beef In the
British isles, something only to be In
dulged in on Tuesdays and Fridays.
We may look at is done in statues be-
hind glass. like other precious things.

FIGHTING PHANTOM
Black Hawk County Murderer Doing
Time in the Pen Constantly lrrag-
ines Demons Pursue and Mock Him.

Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo Nov. 1-Fighting an unseen
but none the less real, foe who con-
stantly jumps upon his shoulders and
would smother him, William Mund-
from. serving life sentence for COM
plicity in the murder of Christian
Hemme, Of this county, spends mis-
nights in the Anamosa penitentiary
fighting his phantom enemy, until his
head is battered where he has struck at
the monster of hideous mein crouched
upon his shoulders. and his fists are
bruised and bleeding.
William Mundfrom, who has now
teen years, and who was mere boy
when he received his sentence, and who
has developed into fine looking speci-
men Of manhood, is an inmate of the
insane department of the prison, but
is calm and rational at times.
Sheriff Caldwell, during his recent
visit to the prison, saw Muldfrom with
a little capsset jauntily over one ear,
while he was plying the mop to the
prison floor. He gave brief and start
led look at the officer, then dropped his
head and went on with his work.
1t will be remembered that when
Mundfrom and Mrs. Hemme murdered
Christian Hemme, Mundfrom carried
the body on his back and threw it in a
well. Ever since then the young man
has imagined that he is crushed down
by the same weight and that monsters
Of hideous mein taunt and tantalize
him. as they dance upon his shoulders.
In his delirium he strikes at them to
chase them away, and in doing so he
has pommeled his ears and his face un-
til they show traces of the punishment.
His wrists are swollen and his hands
are bruised, indicating how ferociously
he fights his unseen foe.
There can be little hope or little in
ducement to live for man in the con-
dition Of Mundfrom and In the quiet
of his cell he constantly fights out his
battles with none to help, none to
sympathize and none to console.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 1.-According
to today's advices from the theater OF
war no general engagement has yet
begun. There was some skirmishing
yesterday, but nothing serious. No
Japanese offensive has developed so far
official reports show, altho advices
from the extreme east are belated.
The imperial headquarters tonight
published a series Of reports covering
the operations against Port Arthur
during the months of August Sep
tember and October. Chief interest
centers in the tremendous attack which
began Dot. 26, and is still contin-
uing. Hundreds of Japanese guns be-
gan battering against the northerly and
easterly forts on the 26th, the infantry
moving forward with desperate rushes
where the artillery had prepared the
way. Pioneers and sappers were run
ming mines against the Russian forts.
The reports record a series of des-s
perate encounters at close range and
tell a dramatic story.

CAMPAIGNS LAST WEEK.
Rival Party Managers Claim Electoral
College Majority.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE leaders Of
the two great political parties are en-
tering upon the last week of the cam
paign with more vigor than has char
acterized any preceding stage. Both
are preparing to dispute every point all
over the country, and particularly in
the so-called doubtful states
Both sides are claiming the majority
in the electoral college with more or
less assurances. The rival leaders
have begun to put forth figures claim
ed to be based upon the actual results
of canvasses, polls and personal 1nves-
tigation.
Democrats and republicans alike lay
claim to New York. The democrats
insist that they will carry New York
for both Parker and the state ticket. /
The republicans declare the battle
practically decided in favor Of their ma
tional and state ticket.
Senator McCarren, chairman of the
executive committee Of the democratic
state committee, predicts there will be
a landslide in this state for Parker.
Governor Odell has received from To-
cal leaders all over the state figures
which he says indicate republican
plurality Of 7s,500. :
Both parties apparently are confident
OF carrying West Virginia, on both
state and national tickets, altho the
odds favor the republicans on the ma
tional ticket and the democrats on thu
state ticket. The large corporate in
h-ences re either neutral this year or
are openly working for democracy.
The liquor vote is also solid for the
democrats.

SCORED BY FAIRBANKS
Vice Presidential Candidate Hits Right
and Left at the Democratic Record in
His Speeches in Indiana Today -
Bio Crowds Cheer Him.

Angola, Ind, Nov. 1.-Senator
Charles w. Fairbanks began the second
day of his tour in Indiana with q
speech to good sized crowd at But
ler before breakfast. Large gatherings
also were present at Auburn, Angalo
and Waterloo. At Auburn, Fairbanks
was presented by Judge William l..
Penfield, solicitor; of the state depart
ment, to whim he paid a warm tribute
in his speech He said in part:
cone week from today we must de-
eide whether to go forward under re-
publican policies or overturn them and
adopt in their place democratic poli-
cies. The democrats do not intend
their policies to work our undoing and
our democratic friends want to put in
to force good policies which will pro-
mote our common interests, but in the
last forty-four years they have been
unfortunate and they have not stood
for any policies that have worked for
advancement Of the American people.
All that has been done to advance and
promote our common welfare has been
accomplished by the republican party.
In challenging the efficiency Of the
democratic party do not challenge in
dividuals I have not q word of critt-
cism Of a democrat who disagrees with
me. 1t is against democratic policies
speak, because they will work our
common injury. I do not consider 1t
wise to consult a lawyer who has an
unbroken record Of lost cases, and
do not believe it wise to entrust the
nation to party which has always
failed in the past"

urabi, 225J, B. c. There were severe
laws in Hamurabi's code against the
barmaid (for women kept the saloons

but then, as well as now, the officers
charged with this duty, were, If, we are
to believe the code in question, either
negligent in the performance of THEN

from the barmaids in the shape OF
drinks. or even money. All In all, Ham
