CLAIM FUNDS ARE MISSING.
Worth County Cooperative Concern
Starts Action.

Mason City, Jan. 10.--Suit was in
stituted at Northwood yesterday by
the Farmers Mutual Cooperative
Live Stock association of kensett,
Worth county, to recover $4,000
which Manager F. Z. rllingson, Book
keeper 7. S. Bakken and Treasurer
Haugegn are alleged to have misap-
rropriated. The affair has caused q
great sensation in Worth county on
account Of the prominence OF the men
charged with the wrong-doing. Near
ly four hundred leading farmers are
members of the association.
The matter was brought to a crisis
at the annual meeting which was
held at Kensett Saturday. Nearly all
the members were present and when
the report Of the expert accountant.
Hort Francisco, who had been en-.
gagged to examine the books. was read
they became wildly excited. Francis
co claimed that there was a shortage
Of about $1,000 when there should
have been a surplus of $4,000.
Ellingson and the others were rep
resented at the meeting by Attorney
Johnson Of Northwood. First, Mr.
Johnson asked the members to re.
elect the officers, but the farmers re.
fused. Then he pleaded to have the
case adjusted out Of court. The farm.
ers would not listen to this, and ad.
journed without taking definite &C.
ton. Some of the leading members
evidently got together after the meet
ing, for the suit was filed yesterday.

cARMsAN HELD INNOCENT.
Case That Aoitated Marshalltot~n
People Ends.

People Enoo.
Des Moines, Jan. lin. A. Car.
mean, q prominent buggy manufac.
turer of Marshalltown. is relieved Of
sentence OF two years. imprison.
ment by virtue Of decision OF the
supreme court yesterday morning.
Carmean was the junior member OF
the Rhodes armean Buggy company
of Marshalltown. They sold largo
quantity Of buggies to Roenmer &
Miller of Hampton and accepted a
note in payment thereon. This note
was transferred to third party.
Subsequently 1t was found that the
company had received 1886 of Roeh.
mer & Miller to apply on the note.
and had failed to SO apply it. Car.
mean was charged with responsibility
and found guilty Of embezzlement, re-
sulting in twoyear sentence. He
appealed to the supreme court. In
setting the verdict and sentence
aside, the supreme court asserts that
there was no evidence at all that
Carmean was directly responsible for
the failure to credit the money on the
note, and that 1t was admitted this
was without his knowledge and due
to the mistake Of clerk or book
keeper. 1t was admitted to be shown
that Carmean was responsible for the
use Of system of bookkeeping that
rendered 1t impossible for subordi-
nate to make such mistake. and
that he was, therefore, criminally re-
sponsible. The supreme court takes
no stock in this theory. 1t holds
that his liability cannot be criminal.
but civil, that it is not on the same
status at all as that of banker who
receives money after he knows his
institution is insolvent, or who mis-.
appropriates it.

SAYS PEACE IS APPROACHING.
Russian Admiral Gives Significant In.
tervtew.

Paris, Jan. 1.-THE declaration
made by Vice Admiral DoumassoR,
the Russian member OF the interna.
tional commission to inquire into the
North sea incident, in an interview TO
the effect that an honorable peace
between Russia and Japan Is likely
to be made is considered highly sig.
ni1cant. The admiral, who is chief Of
naval construction, says he submitted
to Emperor Nicholas last Thursday
plan to complete the rehabilitation OF
the navy. DOubassoff says the EN-
peror gave it most favorable con-
sideration and said it would be sub
mitted to the council of ministers.
II am convinced" said Admiral
Doubassoff, "of the immediate ne.
cessity for the reconstruction of our
fleet at all the Russian and foreign
shipyards for the purpose of securing
strength sufficient to command SUI
premacv at sea. This is absolutely in.
dispensable If We are to expect vic
tory from the next war with Japan.
The remnant Of our fleet Is hardly
more than debris and entirely unequal
to Japan's naval strength
The admiral further said it was
necessary to recognize these condi.
tions, however painful they might be
to national self love.
"Therefore," he added, II do no,
hesitate to say that we tend toward
not far of peace. We will leave
the Jaranese Port Arthur and the ter
ritory they now occupy in Manchuria.
We will set ourselves resOluttely at
work to prepare a powerful invinci-
BILE navy. as this peace will be but
temporary and the next time we shall
be amply nreuered."
Tire official views is that Admiral
Ooubassoff's statement is expressive
Of the growing sentiment within Rus.
sia favorable to peace. Reports show
that the movement has made notable
progress in recent days, particularly
At Moscow. Emneror Nicholas has
aot shown a disposition to check the
movement, although personally he dis.
approves Of its OPT ortuneness.
