Monday the district court began it's April term, Judge k. A. Tucker presiding. In his work upon the bench Judge Tucker has very fav- orably impressed all who have had business in or visited the court room.

HOLD JOB
SUCH is THE STATEMENT NOW
MADE BY STEEL
MAGNATES

New York, Dec. 13. - It was stated
in official quarters yesterday that VIM.
b. Corey will not resign his position
as president of the United States Steel
corporation and that the members of
the board of directors paramount in
Its affairs do not expect him to resign.
In discussing the chances of William
E. Corey and his 100000 position be-
ing separated the spokesman of the
corporation said
'The matter of President Corey's
trouble with his wife has not come
officially before the authorities of the
United States steel corporation. In
my opinion, this matter never will
come before them. The mem who
control it's policies, of course, regret
deeply that Mr.. Corey should have
had any domestic troubles At the
same time they consider these troub-
les as purely his private affairs, and
as not affecting in any way the busi-
ness or policy of the corporation.
Has Stuck to Business.
Mr. Corey has attended strictly to
business all the time he has been con-
nected with the steel corporation. His
domestic affairs have nothing to do
with the corporations business and
there is no reason why the directors
should take cognizance of them

Robb that Ryan has been promised
immunity and cannot be prosecuted
under indictments found against him
last spring by the federal jury at Du-
buque for alleged fraudulent use of
the mails.
1t is ascertained that Ryan took
more than $150,000 out of Iowa by his
cooperative turf investment and other
schemes. Robb says Ryan was prom
ised immunity because he furnished
evidence in certain trials in 1903 at
Cincinnati, being the Miller and Johns
cases. Robb maintains he is not a
subject to criticism and the immunity
was promised by Inspector Fullen of
the postof1ce department under the
authority of the attorney general. 1t
is expected that the news that Ryan
has got himself under cover will
arouse much feeling in the west and a
sharp criticism OF the department OF
Justice methods. Some of the members
of congress have urged on Robb that
there is a strong demand for the prose

hours. Before midnight the cable was
cut and dispatches must now again be
forwarded by courier via the German

clearing.

with fighting chance that Witte will
yet steer his way through the rocks
which beset his course.

The threat of general strike in
the immediate future has disappeared.
The telegraph strike is going to pieces
in spite of the wild appeals of the
union to stand firm. At Moscow the

From Wednesdays Daily.
Death relieved the sufferings of
Francois Adams, the Is year old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. August Adams. this
morning at 2:30 O'Clock at the Ottum-
wa hospital. The gunshot wound he
received Sunday afternoon at Hiteman
was too severe for medical science to
master despite the fact that every
thing possible was done by the Of
tumwa hospital corps of physicians
and nurses to save the boys life. The
remains were taken to the undertaking
parlors of Scott & McIntire. The body
was removed to Hiteman this after
noon The funeral will be held at
Hiteman tomorrow.
Francois Adams Is the victim Of
either an accident or a murderous as
sault. Sunday afternoon he received
q charge from No. IL shotgun in the
hands of either Walter or Oscar Nap
ier. The Napier boys. who are Is and
II years old respectively were placed
in Jail at Abba. Oscar, who is too
young to be held, was released and
allowed to return to Hiteman. Walter
is still in jail. They declare that the
Adams boy was shot by accident, but
the parents of the unfortunate lad
claim that the wound which caused his
death was inflicted with murderous in
tention. The Napier boys gave them
selves up to the authorities Immediate
ly after the sad affair.
Shot Without Warming.
August Adams. father of the unfort-
unate boy, is Frenchman and remov-
ed to this country less than a year
ego. Because Of the fact that the lit
Z tie boy could not speak the American
tongue, he was unpopular with the
youngsters at Hiteman. the Napier
boys being most bitter against him
Sunday afternoon as Francois Adams
was walking across the yard of NJ o.
Lemmie, a neighbor, he was shot by
Oscar Napier, who. according to Mr..
Adams, gave no other warning than:
I'm going to shoot you, you D.
Frenchie."
The shot inflicted wound six
inches in diameter in the right side
of the boys body above the liver and
in the region of the right lung. He
was Immediately brought to the OF
tumwa hospital, where every possible
attention was given him.
Boys Death Deeply Mourned.
The death Of the little boy is mourn
ed by everyone at Hiteman. He was
popular among the older people there,
his inability to speak English making
him backward about Joining in the
games of the children. General re-
gret is expressed because of his death.
The Napier boys were threatened
with violent treatment Sunday when
it was learned that they had shot the
little boy, and they were only too glad
to give themselves up to the authori-
ties. 1t is not likely that they would
have been mistreated. however, for
there are few that think they realized,
If they did shoot the little Adams boy
Intentionally, the gravity of their act.
Sentiment Is Strong.
The sentiment is strong against the
Napier boys in Hiteman, according to
Mr.. Adams, who arrived here this
morning on Burlington No. 10. He
says that, although he did not wit
ness the shooting, it had come to
him that the assault upon his son
was with murderous intent. Oscar
Napier was released this morning be-
cause of his age and allowed to return
to Hiteman.
