ELDORA. Iowa. Nov. 1.-OsCar Ma
pier, the only child In the United States
ever convicted Of murder in the first de

or, rather. cancel his demerits. in the
Iowa Industrial School for boys at
this place.
The nine-year-old boy. who will be
dressed simply IN the neat suit Of gray
clothes and will march and work and
play on the wide grounds OF the indus
trial school with 800 other boys, some OF
them inmates simply because they are
orphans, some because they are ineor-
rigihles while others because they were
simply born bad. will have the most de-
merits ever given a boy at the Eldora
school, or anywhere else. and will be
the only one with murder charged oppo-

The boy was convicted Of shooting
Frank Adams, on the testimony Of two
children, though he has always claimed
the shooting was accidental. But The
dying words OF the murder ed boy and
the testimony OF a little girl who was
the only witness 10 the tragedy sealed |
the doom OF the little boy.

VIEWED WITH INTEREST
CEREMONY OF SWEARING IN
SENATOR La TOILETTE.

The swearing in of Robert NJ. La Toilette
as d United States senator from the state
OF Wisconsin was the chief event of in
terest at the Capitol today So much has
been said in relation 70 the antagonism OF
Senator Spooner and his newly elected col
league that there feeling among
many people that the swearing in of Mr..
La Toilette might result in a scene" 1t
was recalled that there have been cases in
which party rancor has arisen high that
senatorial colleagues have actually de-
scended to fisticuffs as means of satisfy
ing their antagonism, and that there have
been cases In which senators-elect have de-
cllned TO be conducted by their colleague
TO the chair of the president of the Senate
TO De sworn in.
The galleries of the Senate were crowded
today. but all those who expected any un-
usal happenings were doomed to disap-
pointment. Mr.. La Toilette sat by the side
o. Senator Spooner until the time arrived
for swearing him in. Mr.. Spooner. before
the hour Of meeting, introduced his col
league TO his friends OF the Senate. both
democrats and republicans, and the two
senatorial colleagues and political oppo-
nents talked and apparently enjoyed their
opportunity TO get together.
When the time came for swearing the
new member In Mr.. Spooner stepped to the
aisle, extended his arm and bowed cour-
teously Mr.. La Toilette arose 10 go to
the desk with him. II they had been play
ing the part Of Damon and Pythias they
could not have been more chummy. After
the ceremony of swearing in was over Mr.
Spooner escorted his colleague to the seat
reserved for him on the democratic side,
where the overflow of the republican side is
accommodated
The fact is, Mr.. Spooner, as the chair
man of the committee on rules, has per-
s0nally seen that Mr.. La Toilette has been
provided for as favorably as any new
conner in the Senate ever has been. He
mas been given the committee rooms Tor
merly occupied by Mr.. Willard of Nebraska
in the terrace and they are more desirable
than quite a number of rooms that are now
occupied by senators who were sworn in
last March. His committee assignments
are as important those given any new
senator. From the manner in which the
two have started in they are likely to live
together with all the outward evidences
Of peace although they represent dtamet-
rically opposite -deas on nearly all matters
political so far possible and remain IN
the same party. Mr.. La Toilette Is out
for Mr. Spooner's scalp and MIR. Spooner
would like to thrust his snickersee through
the heart of Mr.. La Follettes political
career but while they are in for fight they

before each bout and exchanging all the

Mia thai upon the unanimous recommended
ton of the Consolidated Bar Association
the commission yesterday by decree ex-
tended for five years the period of time dur
ing which the Spanish language might be
used officially in the courts in the Philip

That action was taken after the Phil
ippine commission had satisfied itself tina t.,
although great progress had been made in
the requirement of a knowledge of English
by the younger Filipinos. the older bar
risters-men of high standing and repute
and ability-had not been able on January
L, when the original order took effect re-
quiring the substitution of English for
Spanish as the official court language, to
master the former sufficiently to continue
