Did Keeper Of Maturity Home Give
Baby Laudamun7
Des Moines.-Mrs. Fred West, pro.
prietress of a maternity home, 1914
Thirty.fifth street, in an information
filed before Justice Cope by Mrs.
Elizabeth Baird, secretary Of the Iowa
Humane society, is charged with MUIR
der r..
Mrs Baird was led to take this steS
thro: gh the discovery OF a young girl.
a former inmate Of Mrs. Vests home
and for more than year employed
there as a domestic and nurse.
This girl, in an affidavit made swore
that she was present at the time the
alleged crime was committed and wit
messed the death Of the baby for
whose death Mrs. West is said to be
responsible. She also declared that
she was taken into Mrs. Vests con.
fidence during the period she resided
at the lying.in hospital and Is cogni-
zant OF the conditions that have exis-
ted in the hospital on Thirty.fiftn
street.
The child that is said to have met
It's death at the order of Mrs. West,
was a 5-months.old infant that went
by the name of Jim. The baby was
blind and sickly. 1t is alleged that
laudanum, deliberately administered,
was the direct cause of the child's
iesth. This baby, Jim, was later
buried by Undertaken Duley in re-.
gular and legal manner.

Most o, us. II asked how many
points star should have, would say
flve, and cite the flag as proof: but
the director OF the mint has lately cor.
Tected this misapprehension in an
swering IN inquiry on the subject. He
calls attention to the fact that the
stars on the great seal OF the United
States and on the seal of the president
are iive-pointed. but that the stars are
eix.pointed on the seal OF the house OF
representatives: and further to the
six.pointed stars on the diverse OF the
half and quarter-dollar coins and the
Ave-pointed stars on the reverse, The
reverse OF these coins is copy Of the
great seal with the clouds and stars
omitted. So far AZ known. says
Youths Companion. the six-pointed
star comes from copying the colonla.
coins made after the manner OF Eng.
lish heraldry. which sanctions that
star. The stars on the dag are copied
from the Washington coat Of arms.

MYSTERY IN DEATH OF BOY.
Harry Gilroy Found Killed on Tracks
Near Vinton.

Vinton.-Mystery surrounds the
death OF Harry Gilroy, blind boy liv-
Ing at Ottumwa and student OF the
Iowa College for the Blind, who was
found dead near the Rock Island
tracks with rope around his neck
and large stones in his pockets. the
report that the lad was run down by
freight train Is not believed In some
quarters and foul play is feared.
The boy, who is but II years old, set
out In company with Don Martin and
Walter McCune, aged and IA years
respectively, about dusk with the
avowed determination to run away
from school. Immediate search was
started for the trio, but to no avail
At ! o'clock q. m. Martin and Nc
Cune, who are totally blind, were
found out three miles wandering aim.
lessly, lost. and half frozen. They
were returned to the Institution and
upon their Information searchers We're
sent out along the Rock Island track
where the body Of their little comrade
was found.
The popularity about the affair is
the fact that the dead boys body was
found with rope around his neck and
large stones In his pockets. This can.
not be accounted for and an investiga.
ton Is being made.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMITS
SION, IN REPORT TO CONGRESS,
DECLARES IT Is WORST OF
ALL TRUSTS - CHARGED
WITH MANY CRIMES.

Washington.-The most terrific ar.
raignment of the Standard Oil com.
pany yet made by either private or
public investigator was that filed with
congress Monday by the interstate
commerce commission.
Every conceivable corporate crime.
from discrimination and false pre-
lenses to bribery, corruption c. the
press and debauchery of public Off
Gals, is contained in the catalogue
Of charges.
After long and painstaking inves-
tigation ordered by congress, in which
hundreds of witnesses were examined
in various cities Of the country, and
ample opportunity was given the oil
octopus to defend itself, the commits
sion makes report that completely
overshadows the sensational disclos.
ures revealed in the report of Com.
missioner of Corporations Garfield on
the same subject last May.
Monopoly and Its Methods.
Garfield's report was confined largely
to the relations OF the Standard Oil
company to the railroads Of the coun-
try; the interstate commerce commits
sion's report goes into the whole SUBJ
ject of monopolistic control of the oil
market. With a wealth of detail it de-
scribes the devious methods employed
by the Rockefeller combine to crush
competition.
i Some of these methods are outlined
by the commission as follows:
THE Standard has sold different
grades of oil at different prices from
the same barrel.
Bribery and venal Press.
1T has paid employees of Independent
oil companies for information as to the
business Of those competitors, and
has paid employees of industrial com.
'panies to secure the adoption of its
oil in preference to that Of its CON-
'petitors.
1T has followed every barrel Of in
