Failure of Ex-Mayor of Daven-
port Is an Astounding Bust
ness Revelation
ADMITS TRUST FUND SHORTAGE
Mr.. Smith, Who Has Been Acting as
Executor of Large Estates, Gives the
Amount as $4,000 - Liabilities of
100000 Against Assets Of $4,000 =
Comes Of Famous Family.

Davenport, April 2S.-The assign
ment of ex- Mayor s. F. Smith, a prom
lnent attorney and handler of numer-
Gus estates, with the statement that
against assets Of only $4,000, includ-
Ing his beautiful home, the finest in
the city, Is an astounding business rev.
elation In Davenport. 1t will be received
With surprise turnout the states of
Iowa end Illinois.
Mr.. Smith and his wife signed a trust
deed, turning over all their property,
including their home, to w. c. Putnam
and a. w. Vanderveer, two of Mr..
Smiths bondsmen, who viii act as
trustees for the creditors.
A, Shortage.
The deplorabie feature OF the as
oignnent was the Acknowledgement by
the bankrupt that there was a short
age OF over $4,000 in various trust
funds which he has been managing as
executor OF large estates. There Is an
extensive Indebtedness besides that is
unsecured.
The trust deed provides that the
trustees shall allow Mrs. Smith $500
per month for not more than ten
months for her family expenses, and
that the rest of the amount realized
from Mr.. Smiths assets shall be APP
piled 70 wiping out the shortage In the
trust funds and then to the paying OF
the other creditors pro rata This small
allowance to Mrs. Smith, therefore,
represents all that Is left OF a large
fortune which Mr.. Smith formerly
possessed.
Mr.. Smith Is the only son Of the late
Samuel Francis Smith, D. D., Of Bos-
ton. author OF the national hymn. My
Country. It's of Thee" He came to
law partner OF Judge James Grant.
They were very successful, and in one
famous railroad bond case made a
profit OF 100000. When they dissolved
partnership in 1873 Mr.. Smith took his
family to Europe, and after a period OF
travel returned to Davenport. He has
since given his attention to financial
matters.
The Smith home was model of ele-
gance and luxury and a center of
society and pleasure. Mr.. Smiths
check would have been honored for
$780, at any Iowa bank.
But later years seem to have brought
business losses that have scattered the
fortune Of earlier days, and bad invest
ments may account largely for the
shortages in the trust funds listed in
the deed in which Mr.. Smith relin-
pushed all his property yesterday

left for the scene of the double mur-
der to make further investigation.
The case has attracted wide atten-
ton on account of the mystery. Dahl
was former wealthy Crookston mer-
chant, while the daughter was popu-
lar Polk county teacher, who came to
this section year ago and filed on a
very valuable timber claim north of
Black Duck.
The father came over on a visit in
April and was reported to carry con-
siderable sum of money with him, and
the last seen of father and daughter
was three days after the latter's ar
rival, when they called at the Quiring
postof1ce for their mail The couple
were not missed until month later,
neighbors being few and far between
in that country. Failure to receive
answers to letters aroused Crookston
relatives, who made inquiries and in
stituted a search for the missing with
out result, and $500 was offered for
the bodies. Ten days ago Gov Van
SAINT offered a $500 reward for the ap-
prehension of the murderer and the
county offered an additional $500,
making total of $1,000 in rewards
offered to date.
The past week the Dahl homestead
has been searched from end to end by
different parties, including detectives
from the Twin Cities and Chicago.
Caldwell, who unearthed Dahps body,
is a homesteader, however, and lives
on the adjoining quarter section. The
authorities have parties under surveil- !
lance, who are believed to have been
implicated and no arrests were made

sary to find the bodies in order to Sc
cure evidence on which to convict

FATAL DISTURBANCES

Packers Claim They Will Soon Have Enough Men to
Do All the Work--Teamsters Also Resolve to Strike

CHICAGO, July 26.-The sympathetic
strike at the stock yards will be COM
plete tomorrow morning. The belated
sanction to the teamsters joining their
brother worBmen in the general strike
was given tonight by the officers of
the International Teamsters' union, and
the 700 drivers employed in the pack
ing industry in Chicago will quit work
tomorrow. Nearly 100 of these men
struck today of their own volition, re-
fusing to wait for an additional order
notifying them that the sympathetic
strike was indorsed.
With the union teamsters out every
union organization represented in the
Chicago packing plants will be on
strike. The teamsters' organization is
considered one of the most important
organizations in the present contro-
VeTsy and all along was mainly de-
pended upon to bring success to the
strikers. Last Sunday the men at a
meeting of their union voted almost
unanimously to strike on Monday with
the other allied trades unions, but the
joint council of teamsters' union re-
fused to ratify the decision, so there
remain at work or quit as individuals
The objection to taking the latter
course was that if they should do so
they would be without the support of

Gated with at Indianapolis and they
gave their sanction to the men joining

The greater portion of the fresh
meats disposed of to the local trade is
hauled in wagons to the down. town
district by these teamsters. With the
men on strike and non union men in
their places rioting is almost sure to
follow and a duplication of the riots
which took place in 1902 during the
packing house teamsters strike is
looked for as soon as the packers at
tempt to deliver their product with
non-union help.

friends in the stock yards district to-
night resulted in the shooting of one

not wish a cent increase He, however,
asks to be allowed his own discretion
in the matter of ex2ending, especially
with regard to the pay of his assist

amount the commission allowed the
