Oskaloosa.-Mrs. Adela b. Davies,
music teacher formerly of Des
Moines, has created sensation here
by compelling her own arrest on the
charge of lewdness. The action was
taken to clear herself of charges that
have been rumored about the streets
for some time and which caused her
retirement from the position OF Choir
lister of Central M. e. church.
Recently Constable George An
drews went to her apartment, armed
with a warrant for Mrs. Davies and
for John Doe The rooms were
entered and it Is alleged that there
was man there, but the warrants
were not served anu no record of the
case made.
Mrs. Davies through her attorneys
demanded of the officer by what right
he visited her rooms and then COM
PEELED him to serve the warrant upon
her. She was then arraigned In JUS
tice court and gave bond for trial to
occur on March 80.
Mrs. Davies protests innocence and
it is said proposes to push the case
to the end. Liabilities for the charges
will be fixed if possible, and it is
said that suits for damages against
several prominent people for defama-
ton of character will follow the pres
ent proceedings.

DEMOCRATS D. K. IT
MINORITY UNANIMOUSLY IN
DORSES MESSAGE.
WILLIAMS ISSUES STATEMENT
Only Few Principles Are Taken Issue
With-RemarkabieU nbosom-
ing of Pc ,itical Party.

Washington, D. c., March 27.-Rep-
resentatves John Sharp Williams OF
Mississippi, as leader of the minority
in the house OF representatives, last
night issued to the press written
statement defining precisely the atti-
tude of the democratic party in the
house toward legislation urged by
President Roosevelt in his messages
to congress at the present session.
The statement describes what re-
publican legislation the democrats
will support, what they will oppose
and what concessions they demand on
the party of the majority as to the
price of refraining from an or
ganized filibuster throughout the re-
mainder of the session. Mr.. Williams
opens his statement by saying:
Some things in the presidents re-
cent message are so Immediately i'm
portant to the interests of the entire
country as to pass the bounds or
partisanship and to make it eXcus-
able, if not necessary for me to say
something concerning them with the
view of assuring the president him
self and reasonably inclined republi-
can members of the house and the
country of the support and indorse-
ment, or the opposition of the demo
cratic minority. In so far as the
things urged by the president are
good things, l would like the coun-
try to know that all he has to do is to
deliver twenty or twenty-five republl-
can house votes in favor of them.
These. conjoined with the solid demo-
cratic votes. will put them through"
Mr. Williams notes the following
measures as ones which will com.
mand virtually the solid democratic
vote within constitutional limits:
To compel publication of campaign
contributions.
Prohibition of child labor in the
District of Columbia and the terri
tories.
An employers liability law, drawn
to conform to the recent decisions OF
the supreme court.
Federal liability to government
employers.
A law to prohibit the issuance of
injunctions without notice to the
party enjoined.
removal or the tarlf on wood pulp
and printing paper.
Imposition of federal charge for
every water power right granted on
navigable stream.
Those principles and measures
urged BY the president with which
Mr.. Williams. as minority leader
takes issues are enumerated as fol-
lows:
The penalizng of the boycott.
The right of the attorney general to
nominate receivers when common
carriers are thrown into the hands
Of receiver
The modification of the Sherman
antitrust law so as to permit within
limitation the maintenance of trusts
and the making Of trade agreements
between combinations of capital.
The appointment of a commission
to prepare data for revision of the
tariff.
Mr.. Williams frankly states that he
does not know whether a majority OF
the minority favors the creation of a
permanent waterways commission.

THOMAS CASE AFFIRMED.
Murderer OF Mable Schofield Must
STAY In Prison.

stay IN Prison.
Washington, D. c., March 24--The
case of Charles Thomas, under SEN
tence for life in the Iowa penitentiary
on the charge of numbering Mabel
Schofield in Des Moines, which Was
notorious some years ago, practically
was decided by the supreme court
against Thomas by the dismissal OF
the case.
He brought the case to the supreme
court on the plea that the Iowa sta
tute giving the jury discretion in the
matter of determining the degree OF
crime was a violation of the four
teenth amendment to the constitution
OF the United States in that it abridg-
ed his privileges.
Des Moines.-''he decision Of the
supreme court ends the last hopes OF
Charlie Thomas for freedom from the
penitentiary unless it be by pardon.
His attorneys have fought hard for
him, but without avail. They have
now done everything that can possibly
be done and still Thomas Is within
the prison walls of FIT. Madison. a
prisoner for the rest of his life unless
the legislature shall see fit to restore
him to liberty.
The appeal to the United States
supreme court was taken by Attor-
neys Mulvaney & Mulvaney, with the
assistance of Judge c. Cole, upon the
belief that they could show to the
highest court in the land that the
Iowa statute fixing the degree OF
crime in poison cases is unconstitu-
tional.
The jury was instructed in the Tho
mas case that 1t must find the pris-
oner guilty of murder in the first de-
gree or nothing. This instruction
was based upon the section in the sta
tute which says that the giving or
poison to ones victim is in itself evil
dence of generalization and therefore
only murder in the first degree can
be found in such instances.
The Mulvaneys and Judge Cole ar
gued that this was in contravention
Of the fourteenth amendment to the
United States constitution because 1t
removed from yuries the right to say
whether Thomas might not have been
guilty of a lesser offense. This claim
was made upon the showing that, ad-
hitting that Thomas gave Mabel

AIM AT ROOSEVELT,

ton Of power" not only toward the
national legislature, but the judi

Congress had, he said. abdicated to
him its powers and the public felt
the effect Of his influence. God and
the future alone knew, he declared,

the temple Of his country.

The decision of the supreme court
Of the United States, that the law owes
larger degree of protection to women
than to men, both in common justice
and in regard to the welfare of the
race, will be received with various
sentiments. Some of the advocates of
the feminine cause generally will com,
mend it; the more strenuous advo-
Gates of equal rights may resent it as
4 concession to the inferiority of wom-
en- as the weaker sex. Those directly
concerned, however-the laboring
class of women-will gladly welcome
the protection this gallantry of the
government declares they shall have;
and, as matter of fact. If somebody
has to suffer in consequence of the de-.
cision, II is better to suffer in theory
than In practice; so those who resent
the implied weakness of women will
have to bear the weight of the decision
as best they may.

mining Good from Bad Explained.

White Lead Is the standard paint
material all over the world. 1t Is made
by corroding metallic lead into a white
rowder, through exposing 1t to the
fumes of weak acetic acid and carbonlc
acid gas; this powder is then ground
and mixed with linseed oil, making a
thick paste, in which form it is packed
and sold for painting purposes. Tho
paintes thins it down to the proper
consistency for application by the adj
dition of Iore linseed oil.
The above refers, of course, to pure,
genuine White Lead only. Adulterated
and fake White Lead" Of which there
are many brands on the market, is
generally some sort Of composition
containing only percentage of white
lead; sometimes no White Lead at all;
In such stuff, barytes or ground rock,
chalk, and similar cheap substances
are used to make bulk and initiate the
appearance Of pure White Lead.
There is, however, positive test by
which the purity or impurity Of White

The blow-pipe flame will reduce

The fire started in the livery stable

ATTEMPTS TO BURN HOME.

one of the most Sensational cases that
ever came to light in this section OF

tempt was made to destroy the home
Of George l.. Davis by fire.

behind some wood She ran back to

but they thinking it merely shadow

Nothing more was thought Of the in
cident until a few nights later, when
Mrs. Davis stepped out of the door
and surprised man in the act OF
trying to effect an entrance to the
house. She started to give the alarm
but the man, drawing shotgun, fore
ed her to remain outside while he es-
capped. AS it was dark Mrs. Davis
could not positively recognize hims
although they think it gave them a
clue upon which to work.
About a week later Mr.. and Mrs
Davis were returning home from a
visit to a neighbours when they were
Mortified to find their home in flames.
They hurriedly summoned the neigh
bors and the fire was extinguished be-
fore any great damage was done. On,
examining the premises the next
morning for the origin of the fire a
large iron pan was found under the
corner of the house where the fire
had been kindled. The boards had
been torn off, it is supposed, in the
hope that the fire would catch be-
tween the walls
