100000 pounds of Mocha and 10000

less than 100000 pounds, or only

staggering to know 95 per cent. of the

rather plain.
Figures like these. however, al
though ordinarily impressive and con-
vincing, did not attract so much at
tention in the House, because the

which fraudulent manufacturers of
food products have been willing to
go in the way of swindling the public.

LOUIS BUSES CASE.
Butler County Resident Says There ID
No Cianor for His Life.


No Clanor for His Life.
Special to Times Republican.
Bristow, Dec. 20.-In regard to the
views of a prominent citizen of Butler
county regarding the hanging Of Louis
Busse. we beg to differ. We think
there is no danger of the people OF
Buses home county appearing In Des
Moines before the governor, clamoring
for the murderer's life. AS one who
lives in sight Of the Busse farm, and
knows something in regard to the feel
ing existing at the present time, the
people, Of this county are willing to
leave the life and death of Busse with
the governor, the supreme judges, or
any other proper authorities. True,
justice has seemed to be slow in this
case, but is there not another side to
the case? Should we not have some
respect for the relatives of Louis
Busse, who for all these years have
never ceased to plead for the life Of
their son and brother? FRANKIE Busse,
a leading and respected farmer in this
neighborhood, has a large family, with
the Oldest boy named Louis. This
brothers sorrow is so great at times
he can not eat nor sleep. We believe
the people who, were closest to this
crime when committed would rather
see a prison sentence for life, if they
were sure he would never be pardon-
ed, than to see Louis Busse hang.

IOWA SOLDIER
MAY WIN CASE
Under Court Martial in Manila
For Assailing Tyranny Of
Army
VERDICT HAS BEEN SENT HOME
Capt. L. N. KoehIer Risks His Mill
tary Career in Struggle With Gen.
Leonard Wood-Hesrins Was Re-
markabIe and Decision of Court Mar
tial is Awaited With Interest.
Special to Times-Republlcan.

Special to Times Republican.
LIE Mars, Dec. 20.-Captain Louis
NJ. koehler, of the Fourth cavalry, for
merly OF this city, and whose family
less exalted parsonage than General
Leonard Wood in an effort to break
down the tyranny with which superior
officers have ruled the army ever since
Its formation. Captain Koehler has
risked his whole army career in thus
assailing a distinguished superior.
There is some evidence that the Lee
Mars man may win and thus revolu-
tionize army discipline. altho the pub
lie report will not be made probably
for few days.
The clash with General Wood re-
suited from the latter's reprimand Of
Captain koehler after the first court
martial OF the captain for criticising
his superior, Major General Scott for
inattention to duty in not providing
suitably for men and horses before the
terrible battle at Mount Dajo last year.
The second court martial of the cap
tain was recently concluded in the
Philippines. The report Of the court
is on its way to Washington, or there
and is expected to be announced any
day.
Charges of tyranny and prejudice,
made against General Leonard Wood
came out In the trial and have caused
a sensation. Many expect that the
court martial and the firm stand taken
by Captain Koehler will prove an en-
tering wedge in the matter of army
reforms in which the complete subser-
viency of under officers, despite appar-
ent error OF their superiors, may be
done away with.
1t was difficult first to get court to
try Koehler, four officers being chal-
lenged for cause and next he was sub
stantiated in splendid manner by sew
eral Of the high officers in the islands.
Paper Says He Has Won.
News Of the court martial has come
to Captain Koehler's relatives here,
among the most prominent in the coun-
ty, who have received a copy Of the
Manila American. This newspaper be-
lieves Captain Koehler has won his
case, but whatever the decision, it VEN
lures the opinion that "the unreason-
ableness Of the principle that the king
can do no wrong will be exposed with
resulting reforms which will save many
an officer from "eating his heart out,
quietly chatting under injustice from a
superior officer not only humiliating to
his manhood, but in conflict with
high sense of duty and honor"

Bedford, Dec 2O.--H. o. Hughes. for
mer assistant cashier of the defunct
Farmers State Bank Of Clearfeld, who
was arrested yesterday, is held under
two indictments, returned against him
by the grand jury.
III. o. Hughes is the son of William
Hughes, an old and wealthy resident Of
Corydon, who at the last term of court
was indicted Jointly with his stepson
w. A. Farren, for fraudulant banking
These charges all grew out of the fall
ure Of the Farmers bank at Clear
field.
Ferren, the cashier, is now a fugi-
tive from justice. William Hughes
is under bonds with nine indictments
against him. There seems to be dis
position on the part of the depositors
to relentlessly prosecute these cases:
and long and expensive litigation will
no doubt result.
With minor exceptions, the twenty or
more civil suits growing out of this
bank failure, have been continued un-
til next term.
