The trial of Mrs. Amelia Bertch in
Judge Huffmans court this afternoon
on a charge of maintaining a public
nuisance in the shape of pack of dogs
was a bowling Murray & Mack show
with Mrs. Bertch the star performer
The whole neighborhood in which Mrs
Bertch lives was packed into the court
room and City Attorney Blandford
had nearly a dozen witnesses on the
stand, who testified as to the number
of dogs that Mrs. Bertch is in the habit
of harboring on her premises and the
odors that permeate the neighborhood,
arising from several carcasses of dogs
buried in her yard.
Witnesses varied as to the number
of dogs that Mrs. Bertch is in the habit
of keeping and the best the court could
ascertain the number run from five to

however that the odor that prevailed
around Mrs. Bertch's home has the

Mr.. Adams was the ranking member
of the important committee on foreign
affairs, and next to him was Represen-
tative Bob Cousins of Iowa, who is
now the ranking member
In the next congress Mr. Cousins will
be chairman of the committee, and to
all intents and purposes he will from
now on be that chairman, as Repre-
sentative Hit is in very poor health,
and never comes to the capitol. Mr..
Hit will retire from public life with
of his friends that he may not live out
his present term.
Representative Hepburn is chairman
of the committee on interstate and for
eign commerce. Representative Hull
of the committee on military affairs,
and Representative Lacy of the COM
mittee on public lands. These are three
of the great committees of congress.
Representative Cousins will be the
fourth Iowan to hold a big chairman
ship when he comes to head the for
eign affairs committee, where Repre-
sentative Hit has done such valuable
service for so many years.

There is not another state in the

Iowa policy of continuing it's represen-
