Davenport, Oct. ATTORNEYS j. NJ.
Helmick and j. A. Hanley have re-
turned from Muscatine, where they
represented DR.. II. l.. Greene in ha-
beas corpus proceedings brought to
secure his release from the Mt. Pleas
Judge Smythe, OF Burlington denied
the writ of habeas corpus on the
ground that the Muscatine man still
possesses delusions on several subjects
which would make his release unsafe
to society. Outside of these few de-
lusions DR.. Greene seems perfectly ra-
the questions put to him in an intelli-
gent manner but persisted in clinging
to the ideas that make him appear to
be a person OF unsound mind. One of
these is the belief that he has been
called to reconcile the Jews to Jesus
Christ, but his idea is to use persua-
sion instead of force. He also be-
lieves that parents have the power to
control the sex of their children before
birth, and has written a pamphlet on
the subject.
During the fourteen years of his con-
finement i'll the asylum, DR.. Greene
has only once been violent. For the
first SIX years he was given the free
dom of the hospital and the town and
went practically where he pleased. A
change of superintendent brought a
stricter discipline and of late the ply
sician has been kept in close conf1ne-
ment. On one occasion DR.. Greene
struck the superintendent and knocked
to do this he says by the official telling
him that he was being kept at Mr..
Pleasant on account of the wishes of
certain of his relatives
The circumstances surrounding DR..
Greene's committal to the asylum are
peculiar. Fourteen years ago at KAN
sas City he forced his landlord to eX-
tend a lease at the point of a pistol.
The owner of the building brought
proceedings against the physician, and
his attorneys pleaded insanity as the
was committed to Mt. Pleasant ana
has been kept there ever since in spite
of many efforts to secure his release.
During the last hearing the deluded
Doctors attorneys endeavored to per-
suade him to reaounce his hobbies for
a time. He, refused, however, as he is
willing to remain a martyr to his con-
yictionS

who left her home in this city in COM
pany with DR.. Harmon some months

East Dubuque where she was taken in
to custody by Sheriff Dunn and
brought to Dubuque and later releas-
ed, has disappeared again, and the re-
port is that she has gone to join her

After her release here at the request
of her husband, Mrs. Kiefer went over

DENIES LIABILITY
Trustees in One of the Estates Which
S. r. Smith is Said to Have Looted
Claims He is Not Liable For the
Smith Shortage.
cia, to Times- Republican.

Special to Timeg Republican.
Davenport. Oct. IA. w. Wander
yeer one Of the trustees in the Parker
estate, who acted in conjunction with
q. +. Smith, has filed a statement In
which he alleges that he should not
be held accountable for the shortage
in the Parker estate. which he claims
is entirely due to the Interpretations
of S. f. Smith.
Mr.. Wander Veer states in his docu-
ment, filed by Wilson & Grilk, that he
acted with all due prudence IN man
aging the estate and that he was I'M
aware of any shortage on account of
the manipulation of the papers by the
other trustee. He states that he used
all due diligence in his trust. and that
as soon as he discovered that any
! thing was wrong he Immediately
compelled the other trustee to turn
over the funds and thereby saved much
of the money Of the estate.
IL Mr.. Wander Vetier's petition
is granted it will mean that he will be
absolved from paying over some $780,
600 that the estate Is said to be short.
Mr.. Wander Veer also states that the
report of the German Trust Company
and Jens Lorenzen is not correct In
that it should compute the shortage
from the last rc@ort made, and the
money on hand rather than from the
cash and the mortgages on hand.
An instance is cited in the Il. L.
Baker loan, in which it is claimed that
the mortgage was manipulated so that
it was made to appear that 1t was still
good while in reality it had been paid.
In another instance 1t Is stated that
a sum of $4,000 which has been mis-
appropriated has been SO manipulated
as to appear that it was still on hand.
The statement that Mr.. Wander Veer
sets forth is that one trustee should
not be held for the alleged crime of
another when the other party had so
covered I'D his actions that anyone
could not discover them by using rea-
sonable diligence.
The action of Mr.. Wander Veer to
annul his responsibility as co-trustee
of the estate on account of the meth
DDS used to conceal it, will undoubt-
edly beforced into the court, and 1t
will have much to do with deciding a
multiplicity of questions that will arise
over the Smith enhancement.

Supreme Court Grants Rehearins lr
Oskaloosa Paving Case.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Oct. IA rehearing
before the supreme court at the Janu-
airy term, 1905 was granted this morn
ing in the case OF the city of Oska-
loosa versus Martin ell al. The case
deals with a most important point in
the paving laws of the state, and under
the decision now standing, rendered
by Judge Bishop, on an appeal from
Mahaska, millions of dollars worth of
paving certificates and assessments
were invalidated. Upon the rehearing
the paving contracting bsiness jumps
at once to more solid basis, and cities
of the first class in the state are re-
lieved from what promises to be very
embarrassing situation. At the rehear-
ing before the supreme court in Janu
airy, Oskaloosa city officials believe
that the opinion will be such as to
validate all contracts, agreements and
assessments made by cities for paving
under the special benefit law passed by
the Twenty eighth General Assembly,
whether the cities have had ordin-
ances conforming to the law passed or
not.
Paving costs in Iowa were formerly
assessed under the front foot rule.
The TWenty-eighth General Assembly
passed a special benefit law changing
the form and method of assessment.
The law as now In force is explicit
giving in detail each act which must
be done by city councils and other
officials to make valid paving con-
tracts and assessments. Two years
ago South Seventh street in Oskaloosa
was paved and the cost assessed to
property owners. Objections We're
raised to the assessment on the ground
that the city had never passed an or
dinance complying With the state law.
Judge Scott heard the case and sus-
tanned the property owners in their
protest holding that an ordinance was
necessary to make the assessment
valid Judge Bishop wrote an opinion
on the case When 1t was appealed in
which he sustained Judge Scott, thus
making the city of Oska,oosa respon-
sibe for payment of the pavement.
Under this decision Iowa cities We're
thrown into great embarrassment for
property owners might rise up and
object to paying for pavement as few

whereby the university is to purchase
from them q model concentrating mill
for the university department Of min

Applied Science, expects the mill to
be installed within the next two

the complete equipped mill, with tim
bering, ETC., exactly the same as In the

cities had ever had ordinances passed
City attorneys had felt that to comply
with the state law was sufficient, and
that no ordinance was necessary.
The state law required that a reso-
luton of necessity should be passed
and gave the legal form. City attor-
neys thruout the state did not believe
that it was necessary for the city
councils to pass an ordinance saying
that the resolutions of necessity should
be passed the way the law said they
should be passed. They regarded this
as superfuous and the decision caused
many cities embarrassment.
The intense interest which Des
Moines had in the decision and the APP
plication for a rehea1ing was evidenced
by the fact that the local city attorneys
freely gave their services in an at
tempt to get further hearing in the
case.
That a paving ordinance in cities
such as Judge Scott, Of Mahaska held
was necessary is not necessary, IL is
believed, the court will finally find.
Such finding will relieve the en-
barrassment to Iowa municipalities. 1t
will in no manner change the laws as
the statute remains, and even II cities
should pass an ordinance it would COM
prehend no more nor less than the
statute,

He can make all sounds Of beast and bird
And thousand more they never heard.
He can crow or cackle. chirp or cluck
Till he fools the rooster, hen or ducki
He can mock the dog or lamb or cow
And the cat herself can't beat his me
ow."
He has sounds that are ruffled, striped OF
plain;
He can thunder by like a railway train,
Stop at the stations breath and then
Apply the steam and be off again.
He has all of his powers in such COM
mand
He can turn right into full brass band.
With all Of the instruments ever played,
And march away as a street parade.
