Hoch, accused by his wife of poisoning
her sister two days before his marriage

that Hoch is none other than the janitor
who suddenly disappeared after testify

DR.. NORTON'S TRIP
AVERTED TROUBLE
FEELING AGAINST CHRISTIANS
Is STILL BITTER IN PARTS OF
TURKEY, BUT NO AMERICANS
HAVE BEEN INJURED.

Washington, January 22.-The State De-
partment has made public portions of an
important report recently made by DR..
Thomas H. Norton, American consul at
Harput, Turkey, on the results of tour
of investigation made by him under in
structions from the department through
the villayets of Bitlis and Van. which
were the scenes during several months
last summer of repeated attacks upon
and massacres of Christians by the Kurds
and other elements of the Moslem popu-
lation. These disturbances, attended by
frightful atrocities and savage cruelty,
resulted in death, suffering and destitu-
ton.
The principal object Of the visit was
for the better protection of American
interests there, and the timely arrival
of DIR. Norton, 1t Is stated, contributed
to a peaceful termination No Amer
leans were known to have been injured.
DR.. Norton says Mush is practically an
armed camp, where Armenians are in
constant terror.
He estimates that the Sasun district
five thousand lives were lost In last sum-
mer's massacres, including am children.
Several thousand refugees who fled to
Mush were forced to return to their
ruined villages, where the vilayet author
tiles made an allowance of one cent a
day per capita for food. The question
for the moment, he says, is what is to
be done to save the surviving population
of Sasun. numbering ten thousand or
more. from the insufficient protection and
insufficient food.
He speaks Of the American schools and
institutions, and says the missionaries
have much prestige. One salient fact,
says the consul, is that the penevoience
~ c,tizens of the United States has ac-
complished more than the efforts of other
nations combined in advancing the ma
teriaI, intellectual and moral welfare of
the Armenians and other classes in the
interior provinces.

Moines fans.
Owsley. the pitcher who was loaned
by Cantillion, of the Des Moines club
to Manager Meek, of Waterloo, was re-
called yesterday, and left at once for

weakens Meek's pitching staff, and
leaves him with but three pitchers.
Rightfielder Hugh Lally, of the Boone
club, has ceased to play with that team,
altho as yet he has not been releases 4.
His wife, who lives in Des Moines

garnishment proceedings against the
Boone association, which tied up Lal-
ly's salary for alimony, and under the
circumstances Lally refused to play.
Catcher Joe Shook, formerly of the

One in Farm Sale Line.
A. p Mason, the we'll known auction
eer of Union, was in the city Wednes-
day evening. being on his way home
from business trip to Valeria. Mr..
Mason says that the business in farm
sales this fall promises, from present
indications, to exceed that of last year.
The largest number, Mr.. Mason thinks.
will be unloading sales, which have
grown in the past few years to be quite
popular among the farmers, as 1t gives
them an opportunity to get rid of their
surplus stuff. Mr.. Mason finds that
there are many farmers in this part
of the state, who are contemplating
moving next spring. and many of them
will have sales this fall. The general
trend of the exodus seems to be norta-
west. Another class of the sale pro-
motors are farmers who are leaving
the country and moving into town. Mr..
Mason thinks that prices will be good
this fall in the sale business, as crop
prospects were never better and money
is easy. The sale season does not open
until September /, altho there are al
WAYS a few sales the latter part of
August.

Raising Tuu0os
For the purpose Of devising ways
and means for raising funds to make
up the deficit, which it is thought will
exist by the end of the league season,
the directors of the Marshalltown
Base Ball Association, at a meeting
held Wednesday night, have called a
meeting Of the stockholders to be held
next Tuesday evening, August s. The
place of meeting has not yet been de-
termined upon, and will be announced
later.
After approximating the cost Of
maintaining the club for the rest of
the season, and taking into account
the revenue which will be derived from
the August and September games yet
to be played here, and other sources
from which money comes, the associa-
ton finds it will still be short about
$500, as nearly as can be estimated. To
make good this amount some means
must be devised, and the directors will

State Board of Review Orders
Reduction of 5 Per Cent on
All Farm Land
CITY PROPERTY is CUT
Reduction From Assessed Valuation
Applies to All Farm Land in the
County, Both Inside and Outside OF

County Auditor w. L. McLeland to
deduct from the assessable value of all
farming land in the county per cent,
and from all city property 3 per cent,
before levying the taxes for the present
year. This order will have the effect
Of slightly reducing the taxes on farm
ing hand, but the difference will be very
slight on city property.
The order for a reduction of 5 per
cent in the farming land, includes land
inside of the corporate limits of the
cities and towns of the county not d.
vided into lots or blocks of ten acres or
less, which, tho lying inside of the city
limits. is used for agricultural pur-
poses. The board made no change in
the assessment of personal property,
The taxable value of property of the
second class, such as land used for
agricultural purposes inside of the city
limits, is SHOOT The deduction of 5
per cent would reduce this amount to
$10,457. The assessable value of the
city property is sj,425,526. and reduc
ton of per cent will make this
amount $1,3S2,76O.22, a reduction of
$42,765.7S. The reduction ordered will,
however, make no noticeable difference
in the individuals taxes on city prop
erty. altho there will be slight differ
ence in the farmers taxes. The reas-
on for this is that the amount to be
raised by taxes i'm the county each
year is practically the same. and if the
assessable value of property is reduced
the assessment of taxes levied is made
higher.

High water Mafk Not heacheos
In the opinion of the commandant
there will be an increased call for ad-
missions to the Home for eight or ten
years, and the same opinion is eX-
pressed by commandants of several
state homes. Gen. N. M. Curtis, as
sistant inspector general of national
soldiers homes, when making his IN
spection here last September. stated
that the board of managers of nation
al homes had expressed the opinion
that the high water mark of member
ship in the soldiers homes of the
United States would not be reached
before 1915. Commandant Horton
therefore urges upon the board the
necessity of doing at once everything
thatscan be done for the comfort of the
defenders of the republic during their
declining years.
