Washington, Nov. 25.-The score
mission upon which Judge William i
Penfeld, solicitor of the state depart
ment, was sent to South America last
September, was to ascertain the exact
facts as to Germany's aggressions In
southern Brazil, and whether these ag'
gressions amount to an invasion OF the
Monroe Doctrine.
This became known upon the return
of Mr.. Penfeld to Washington, accom-
panied by David Z. Thompson, United
States ambassador to Brazil. Within
an hour after his arrival, Judge Pen
field called at the White House and re-
NAMED with the president for nearly
two hours,
Referred to the President.
On leaving, he said he could not talk
about his mission, adding: i am
obliged to refer you to the president
At the time the solicitor was sent
abroad, the suggestion was nurtured in
official circles that his trip had to do
with trade conditions, but it has been
surmised all along that it had a more
important and delicate object. He spent
four weeks in Brazil, and while there
made a tour of the southern section of
the country.

would eventually be menaced by the

May Assume Grave Importance.
Therefore, taken in connection with
the unfriendly spirit brought about be-
tween the United States and Germany
by the tariff war and other incidents,
the report of Judge Penleld is expect
I'd to assume grave importance. No
mixing of what it is has as yet been
allowed to become public.

The murder was the most brutal in
istoTy of eastern Iowa. Evidently the
mother had been killed while prepar-
ing a meal, for when the bodies were
found food was on the stove cooking.
She had been killed by blows of a ham
mer, and her skull was terribly
crushed; then she had been savagely
attacked with a knife. After her MUIR
der the children had evidently been
called in one by one and murdered in
q similar manner, for all wore clothing
that indicated that they had been at
work on the farm just before death.
The babe, not three years old, when
found, still wore a hood and mittens,
and had In its hand a piece Of buttered
bread, One blow of the hammer had
sufflced for 1t, and then the murderer
laid It In It's mothers arms.
Only Evidence of Struggle.
The only evidence Of q struggle was
found in injuries sustained by the 16-
yearold daughter, her hands were
badly lacerated whore she had appar-
emily clutched at the m%urderous knife.
The murder was discovered by a
mtlkman named Saunders, who called
at the house to Get milk. When Off
GERS reached the house no trace of the
husband could be found. but an
abandoned suit Of his clothing was
found badly smeared with blood.
