FARMERS MAY STRIKE.
Trouble Threatened by the zoe, 600
Members of the American
Society Of Equity.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. PA strike
of the 100000 farmers composing the
American Society of Equity, an or
ganization with headquarters in In
dianapolis, has been called for March
l. Everyone who responds to this
call will agree to withhold from mar
keting any agricultural products ex-
cepting at prices that are up to the
level that has been decreed by the Of
is being passed through all the wheat
growing states and the response that
is being made is said to be causing
considerable concern on the part of
market men and spectators. A rep
resentative of recognized authority
oils Friday trying to ascertain what re-
spouse the call was receiving.
The organization claims that the
producer ought to get at least one
dollar bushel for wheat no matter
what may be the size of the crop 1t
is claimed that the price of any agri-
cultural commodity can be controlled
by controlling the marketing. The
call for the strike sets forth a mini
mum selling price on all farm prod
ucts, prices which the agricultural
strikers claim they are entitled to and
can get if they stand together Kan
sas and Minnesota are being flooded
with copies of this call. 1t is figured
that if these states hold out for the
higher prices that the trick will be
turned. as Minnesota raises a big per-
centage of the spring wheat crop and
Kansas produces a controlling per-
centage of the winter wheat crop.

HOCH IS hanged
FOR HIS crime
MOOSE ENDS LIFE OF NOTED BIG
AMIST AND POIsONER IN
JAIL At CHICAGO.
Neck Broken When Drop Falls-An-
other Attempt to Save Him from
Gallows Fails-Doomed Had Been

Chicago, Feb 24-Johann Hoch,
bigamist, robber and poisoner Of wom-
en-, paid the penalty of his crime Fri
day afternoon when he was hanged in
the county Jail. His neck was broken
by the fall. Hoch's body will be
cremated, in accordance with his
wish, expressed to religious advisers
just before the execution. Hoch hoped
for a reprieve to the last, and resigned
himself to his fate only when the
hangman's moose frightened about his
neck Chief Deputy Sheriff Peters read
the death warrant in the death cham
Der. Then the death march began
Crowds flocked about the Jail, openly
gambling on Hoch's fate, many believ-
would again escape the moose. Hoch's
neck was broken by the drop, and
death followed quickly.
Final Effort Fruitless.
A final effort almost without prece-
dent in Illinois was made in Hoch's
set for the execution Friday. A petit
tion was filed in the United States cir
cult court by Attorneys Comerford
and Meyer asking that the federal
court interfere to save the condemned
man. The petition stated that the
state authorities were endeavoring to
execute Hoch in violation of the four
teenth amendment of the constitution,
without due process of law
Judge Lands denied the petition.
An appeal to the United States SUI
preme court was then asked, but not
granted. When notice was given to
the sheriff and Jail officials that the
petition for federal interference had
been filed. the officials. with the con-
demned man, were about to begin the
death march to the gallows. The ex-
ecution was postponed until the court
could act on the petition While the
effort was being made to secure an ap-
hanged.
Appeal for Dead Man
Although the death of Hoch had
been announced to them, Attorneys
w c. Anderson, Maher and Conner
|
| ford said that the appeal would be
sought and perfected and carried to
the United States supreme court.
Then said Attorney Anderson, .'if
| the decision of Judge Lands in refus-
ing to grant the writ of habeas cor
| pus is refused we will see that the
sheriff, the states attorney and all
those who took part in the hanging
in any official capacity are indicted
for murder We intend to carry this
| through to the end
Assistant States Attorney Olson has
compiled an authentic account OF
| Hoc1's known marriages. The fig
ures show that in a marrying career
of 10 years, Hoch took unto himself
10 wives. four of whom died short
ly after the marriage.
4 The desperate legal fight waged by
! Hoch and his attorneys to secure 3
new trial or a pardon resulted in plac
ing Hoch three times in the shadow
Of the galloWs instead of once, and ex
/ tending his life eight months.

FRATERNAL ORDER
RESERVE DECISION
MEMBERS MUST PAY UP OR FOR
FEIT CLAIMS.
DIFFERS FROM REGULARS
Certificates Are Forfeited Where As
sessments Are Neglected, Despite
Fact That Delinquent Had Con-
tributed to Surplus Fund.

Jefferson City, Mo-, June 2.-The su-
preme court en- banc Friday handed
down an opinion OF importance to AGO.
00e policyholders Of Missouri and sew
eral million policyholders in fraternal
insurance associations throughout the
United States.
The case was that of Mary Wester-
man VS.. the supreme lodge knights of
Pythias. in which the plaintiff received
Judgment for s5,236.27 in the st. Louis
circuit court for the death Of her hus-
ban, J. P. Westerman, who joined the
association in 1895. The suit was in
stituted in the st. Louis circuit court
in 1902.
Division No. / OF the supreme court
some time ago affirmed the decision of
the lower court in an opinion by Judge
Marshall, and the case was transferred
to the court en- banc for a rehearing.
The suit was prosecuted On the theory
that the defendant company was under
the same law as regular life insurance
companies.
Set Up Reserve Claim.
The association forfeited the member
for failure to make monthly payment
due in August, 1901. The member died
in January, 1902. The plaintiff con-
tended that the monthly payments for
six years prior to the date Of forfeiture
had created reserve in behalf Of the
beneficiary to pay for extended insur-
ance beyond the period OF death, and
that the certificate was nonforfeitable
under the statute of Missouri, which
Was copied from the nonforfeiture
statute of Massachusetts,, and has been
adopted by thrse-fogrths Of the states
Of the United States. - =
Society Not Liable,
Judge Fox wrote the opinion OF the
court en- banc, holding that the de-
PENDANT is a fraternal society and not
liable as regular life insurance COM
pany. The case is reversed. Judges
Can't, Burgess and Lamm concur;
Judge Valiant concurring in part.
Chief Justice Brace dissented, but
wrote no opinion. Judge Graves, who
came to the bench since the case was
argued, did not sit.
1t is stated this decision is the most
important to fraternal societies that
has been handed down by this or any
other court in many years, as the en-
tire plan upon which fraternal socis-
ties are organized was involved.

RETAIL TRADE is
GENERALLY QUIET
WIDESPREAD RAINY WEATHER
DRAWBACK TO BUSINESS.
MAY SURPRISES ALL YEARS
FIourishing Month For Retailers and
MISUNDERSTANDING Operations
Active Throughout Country
Labor Situation Favorable.

New York, June 2.-R. G. Dun q
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Business maintains wholesome prog
ress and mercantile collections i'm
prove. The weeks aggregate transac-
tons show the erect of the holiday
ana seasonable quiet in certain lines,
but good gain is noted in comparison
with the corresponding period of any
previous year. Uncertainty regarding
the crops caused unusual conservatism
at the northwest until this week, when
the outlook became sufficiently encour-
aging to restore confidence. In many
jobbing lines there is no prospect OF
vigorous activity until fall, but whole
sale distribution is now heavy and re-
tail business is only retarded at points
where temporary weather conditions
are adverse. Little idle machinery is
reported at manufacturing plants, ex-
cept in few cases of labor disputes,
and several substantial increases in
wages became effective on June l.
Failures this week numbered TIA in
the United States against 1913 last year,
and Is in Canada compared with 29 q
year ago.
Bradstreet's report follows:
Rather quiet retail trade conditions
have resulted from widespread rainy
weather, the passing of the leading
spring holiday, and the natural season
al quietness which supervenes at this
period. Taken as whole, the month
Of May was very active one in retail
and wholesale trade and industry, in
which the best records of preceding
years were surpassed. Fall trade re-
ports continue exceptionally good
though comparatively quiet period
may be looked for pending clearer
view OF crop conditions. Crop reports
are tinged with irregularity, due to I'M
even distribution of rainfall, which rs
however, seasonable development
Activity in outdoor work has been q

HUNDREDS DELIcHTEDl

You are so careful Of your diet, ex-
ercise and everything else hygiene
that you can't imagine what makes
your head ache SO. Ever think it
might be due to a defect in eyesight,
overworked optical nerves, nerves or
blood vessels askew? Often, very
often, eye glasses properly adapted to
your eye needs will stop that head
I ache
During the last three weeks more
than three hundred people have OBJ
tanned relief for their eyes by calling
on Prof. Mayne Arnold at his optical
parlors, Oskaloosa, Iowa.
Considering the fact that the farm
ers have been quite busy seeding, such
record, an average of more than a
hundred actual purchasers every week,
speaks volumes for the Professors
skill.
The remark has been made to Prof.
Arnold, by more than fifty different in
dividuals: "You must stay longer. The
people out in the surrounding country
and neighboring towns are just be-
ginning to find you out. Advertising
is so common, at first we paid no at
tention to it. Your being here more
than four years has given your Gus
toners chance to try their glasses
thoroughly and the word has got out
that the longer they are tried the bet
ter they are, and so we want you to
stay longer. We want our friends to
have chance to get their sight i'm
proved. You just stay right here In
Oskaloosa and we will surely send
them in. We are sure they will never
get such chance again."
That is what hundreds have been
saying to the Professor for several
weeks.
Now, what so many say must be
true.
Prof. Arnold Aas in consequence re-
luctantly concluded to remain just
four months more in Oskaloosa and
will remain until October 20.
N. B.-This will be positively the.
last postponement Of the Professors

Professors patrons how they are

to obtain reliable information as to-

sible description, as he has been pa
tronized by an enormous number from

MISSIONS IN CHINA,
Rev. A. E. Corey Addresses Big AS
sembly of Children.

Children's Day at the Christian
church was celebrated by a special
program yesterday. The attendance
was large and a special effort was
made to make large collection, as
this day is set aside for the foreign
missions and all the money raised is
given to the missionary society. The
principal address was made by Evan
gelist A, E. Corey, who has just re
turned from China, where he has been
for several years in the work of a
missionary.
Mr.. Corey in his address told of be
tween four and five hundred mission,
aries in China, Africa, India and other
foreign lands depending on the
churches of this country. The foreign
missionary society of this country has
been for several years behind in funds
to the extent of seven or eight thous
and dollars, but have established q
record of which that of no other coun
try has been able to do, by being out
of debt after the funds from the spe
cial day were turned in.
Mr.. Corey told of his own expert
ences in China, relating the practice
of throwing little baby girls that are
born into Chinese families into the
streets to die because it is their de
sire only to raise boys. He stated OF
the worlds powers, Christianity was
the greatest, and that the missionaries
were doing more to bring the people
together than the representative to
the different countries, and that it had
more of a worlds power than govern
ment. ~,
Mr.. Corey urged that the churches
give more to the foreign missions and
that each church tnat could should put
its own missionary in some foreign
field.
