INSURANCE IS VOID.
SUICIDE CLAUSE RELIEVES YEo-
MEN IN THE CASE OF BANK
ER WOODS.

Des Moines, Nov. 2S.-By decision
of Judge McHenry in the district
court both the widow of the suicide
.Colfax banker George d. Wold, and
the heirs of his first wife are cut off
from insurance money il the Brother
hood of American Yeomen.
Shortly after Woods committed sui
eide, two contracts with the Yeomen
were discovered, one making void foI
all time the possibility of his heirs
receiving the insurance money in case
of his suicide, and another containing
a three year suicide clause.
The day before the second contract
arrived at Colfax Woods committed
suicide. The insurance company re-
fused to pay the money on the ground
that the three years suicide clause
had been violated. The widow at
once started proceedings to recover
her money.
Judge McHenry held that the com.
pany's claim was just and decided
against the widow.
According to the first contract, the
insurance money was to go to his
first wife. Upon her death her heirs
would receive it. But the suicide
clause in the first contract prevents
recovery of the money, the same as
in the second.

st. Louis, Nov. 2S.-Four people are
known to have lost their lives and
other bodies are believed to be buried
in the ruins of the Salvation Army
Barracks which we're partially de-
stroyed by fire early this morning.
Several people were badly hurt in the
panic that followed the discovery of
the fire and some of these may die.
The four people killed outright lost
their lives by leaping from upstairs
windows to the pavement below.
There were life lines hanging in every
room, but not one of them was put
in use.
The barracks were crowded to their
capacity, about $50 people, mostly of
the destitute class being cared for.
The cold weather last night had driv-
en- them to shelter and every avail
able bed was occupied.
When the alarm was given a panic
ensued, and the victims helplessly
faced death until the police opened
avenues of escape and drove the
frantic inmates to the street.
A cigar stump carelessly thrown
into an elevator shaft temporarily
used for clothes hamper caused the
fire. The flames were discovered by
an attendant at 4;S0 this morning and
the alarm given
About eighty-five men were crowd
ed into the basement sleeping when
the fire was discovered They were
unable to get out, as the door was
apparently locked, Their cries at.

The men poured out of the basement
like rats from a trap. @tff
The firemen called to those in the
windows not to jump until the nets
could be stretched, but all to no avail
for as fast as the flames roared near
er to the windows men jumped and
were picked up crushed and uncon
scious below.
Some of the men. apparently no
hurt at all, were crying abjectly ant
were not able to tell what was the
matter with them.
The fire swept through the second
and third floors and damaged the
structure to the estimated extent ot
$4,000. 1t was an old building. None
of the dead can be identified.

Special to Daily Herald.
Des Moines, Nov 28.-While his
wife was spending the night in the
company of a rival for her affections,
Cal Rose, an employee of the Ideal
restaurant, adjusted a cotton hand
kerchief about his throat, tied it
about a steam pipe, and jumped from
a bunk of the bum cell in the city
jail to eternity.
Rose was arrested nc $3.50 last
evening by Officer Scarplno, charged
with drunkenness and threatening to
commit a public offense. Mrs. Rose,
who is employed at Hoyle's restaur-
ant on Mulberry street, claimed that
her husband threatened to kill her
during the day, and agreed to appear
in police court at 900 o'clock this
morning to file information.
In the cell with Rose were nine
other prisoners, most of them being
charged with minor offenses. They
we're all asleep at the time the deed
was committed and could tell nothing
of the affair or the hour chosen by
Rose to take his own lire.
1t is believed by the police, how
ever, that the prisoner met his death
shortly after midnight The body
was cold when found and rigia mortis
had begun TO set in. The neck was
broken by the fall and death is
thought to have been instantaneous.
Rose was dressed in pair of over
alls and a cotton shirt.
Came from oskaloosa.
Rose and his wife came to Des
Moines from Oskaloosa a few months
| ago and have been residing on the
east side, 1t is said they quarrelled
frequently Rose has been arrested
on previous occasions for petty crimes
and Is said to hold bad character.
| The woman claims that Rose was
mentally of and his dementia was
distinctly noticeable when he used
liquor to excess His mental trouble
was due, she thought, to fall he
had several years ago which broke
his nose and is thought to have crack
ed his skull She claims that he
often spoke of not being right.
Mrs. Rose did not show the least
sign of regret when told that her
husband had hung himself She Gld
not shed tear when in the Office Of
Captain Miller. In fact, as she went
into the private office she gave sigh
of relief as if great burden had roll
ed away.
"You are not going to hold me here
are you?"she asked Captain Miller.
II did not kill him."
mo, we do not think you did, said
the captain, "but we want you here to

WOMAN HEROINE
OF COAST STORM
CAPTAINS WIFE LASHED TO
WHEEL FOR TWO DAYS.
sTEERED THROUGH HURRICANE
Vessel Finally Makes Port at Machias,
Mey After Thrilling Experience.
Was Eleven Days Overdue
and Given Up For Lost.

Machias, Me-, Nov. 27.-To the
heroic fortitude OF the captains wife,
Mrs. Frank Mcclure, who stood lashed
to the wheel during the severe gale
that swept the New England coast
from Sunday, November IL, to the fol-
lowing Wednesday, is due largely
the safety Of the schooner Gold Hunt
er Of Blue Hills, Me-, which worked
her way into this harbor, IL days over
due from Portland. The little vessel
showed plainly the marks OF the
storm.
The Gold Hunter, with Capt Nc
CURE, his wife and one man for an
assistant, left Portland November 10
with general cargo for this port.
November IL the Gold Hunter made
good progress with clear weather, un-
til afternoon, when the wind breezed
up from the northeast while the ves-
sci was four miles of Peter Manan
tight.
Vessel az Mercy Of Waves.
A sudden gust of wind split the
mainsail of the vessel and carried
away the jibs. Without her headsails
the little schooner became unmanage-
able. The sea made up rapidly and
the vessel was continually smothered
in the wash of the combers. Mrs. Nc
CURE was preparing supper when the
storm broke, but she rushed upon
deck and took the wheel while her
husband and his assistant went to
work to bend on foresail so as to
bring the vessel up to the wind
With the craft wallowing wildly in
the trough of the sea this task was
most difficult. With great patience
and consummate seamanship the two
men labored for hours to get their lit
tie rag Of sail set, while Mrs. Mcclure,
lashed to the wheel, aided as well as
she could by what little steering was
possible on the almost helpless craft.
Finally the foresail was rugged,
double-reefed, and, while the two men
clung exhausted to the mast, Mrs. Nc
CURE brought the vessel around head
up to the wind and held her there for
4S hours. Before the fury of the gale
the vessel drifted out to sea for 80
miles off Mount Desert Rock. In all
this time 1t was impossible to cook
food or even to heat up any coffee.
Sticks to Post Like Man.
Kept up only by excitement and
pluck, Mrs. Mcclure clung to her post
through the height of the gale, while
Capt Mcclure and his man attended
to their little storm sail, which con-
tinually broke from its insecure
fastenings. It was mans work at
the wheel, with the helm kicking"
strongly to the wild plunges of the
ship, but the endurance Of the rugged
north woman was equal to the test.
On November the gale abated and
the two man rugged temporary sails
before Mrs. Mcclure could be relieved
from her post. All hands were AK
hausted with their struggles and ex-
posure, and under such scanty canvas
as could be set it was hard and slow
work bringing the Gold Hunter into
port, where she had about been given
up for lost.
