manded by President

ousted from Office. It was learned au-
thoritatively that President Roosevelt
had demanded Mr.. Palmer's resigna-
ton, to take effect on the 18th inst.

cipally to the latter's action in trying
to force Oscar ]. Ricketts,, foreman of

division, out of the government
printing Office. Mr.. Palmer asked
for the designations of Ricketts,
and Hay on the ground that they
had been insubordinate. The pub
lie printer formulated q series Of
charges against the two men. These
charges, it is known. were forwarded to
Oyster Bay. AS soon as President

had developed, he directed Public
Printer Palmer to. forward to him his
resignation, to take effect in two weeks.

was sent in popcorn. When 1t was
examined at the home 1t was reject

in popcorn balls. When the children
began to eat these they complained
OF a bitter taste and the popcorn balls
were taken away from them, exam

Foulk thinks that he knows who did
this but he refuses to tell.
The children,s grandparents on their

Unusual Precautions Taken in

CONDITION OF BANKS AFFAIRS

Special to Times-Republican
Sioux City, Oct. 5.-Tampering with
the jury sitting in the trial of w. T..
Brown, who is charged by the govern
ment with having falsifed the books
OF the First National bank of Storm
Lake and with having sent incorrect
reports to the comptroller of the cur
rency, Judge Reed removed all danger
of jury tampering by ordering the jul
rymen to be kept in charge Of the
bailiffs. During the lmpaneling pro-
Tense subjected each juror to the Sc
verest kind Of questioning and many
of the jurors admitted that they had
formed opinions one way or the
other in the case. Judge Reed,
in addressing the jury, said he
was sorry they would be inconven-
fenced in having to be kept in charge
by the bailiffs, but that such course
was found necessary after the occur
renee of the last TRIAL He said he
hoped they would not feel harshly
about it, but that the precaution was
necessary.
Abner j. Wilson, receiver Of the First
National bank of Storm Lake. which
failed some time ago, said that the
comptroller OF the currency at Wash
ington had declared q dividend Of 20
per cent.
The proved claims up TO date amount
to about $4,000, while the sale of the
bank fixtures, buildings, etc, together
with such assets as were collectible,
amounted to about $4,000. This divi
dend practically eats UP the assets. 1t
is, however, expected that another 8
per cent will be paid later on. Assets
on paper amounted to about 100000.
but out Of this about $4,000 had to be
paid on loans.
This Is the institution for which
William E. Brown Is now facing
charges of classifying his bank books
and sending false reports to the comp
troller of currency. For the second
time he was placed on trial in federal
court yesterday afternoon.
The morning was devoted to the
reading of the voluminous indictments
and the opening statements OF the re-
Spective attorneys. United States Dis
trict Attorney Mcmillan spoke for the
government and Attorney George Scott
for the defense
In his address to the jury Mr.. Nc.
MILAN said that he syrnpath1zed great
ly with Brown, had no hard feelings Of
any kind against him and that he de-
sired above all things that the jury be
as just and fair as possible.
CAS- the trial has proceeded" said
Mr. Mcmillan, 81 have found myself
plying Mr.. Brown, but, however, much
we are apt to pity him we must not
forget the law laid down by the gov
eminent of the United States. Brown
like a good many other persons made
an attempt to try short cut to for
tune and the government will intro
duce evidence to show that, getting in
to financial difficulties, he has falsi
fed his books so as not to be caught
by the comptroller of the currency"
