Des Moines, Jan. 13.-Failure of the
examining physicians to concur in the
analysis Of the state chemist resulted
last night in an open verdict by the
coroner's jury, failing to place the re-
sponsibility for the death of Dean
Howard of Drake university.
The dean died Thanksgiving day.
The verdict states that Dean How.
ards vital organs were in bad ccndi-
ton and that he was suffering from
angina pectoris and also arterio
schelrosis.
It was stated that not enough NOR.
phine was found in the stomach and
intestines of the dead man to prove
conclusively that any guilt attached
to the attending physician or to the
dean himself.
Coroner Newlen said that the In
vestigation was at an end as far as
he was concerned.

FIGHT IS FATAL TO THREE.
Row at kentucky Dance stirs Up Feud
and Ends in Bloody Battle.

Williamstown, KY, Jan. IL. - One
man was killed, two fatally wounded
and six other men were seriously in
jured as the result of a fight that
started at dance Saturday night and
continued through yesterday morning,
which was terminated by Sheriff Car
ter and posse arresting the alleged
ringleaders in the killing, just as 4
mob was being formed to avenge the
death Of Ethel Ransom. who was beat
en- to death after he had received sew
eral wounds.
The dance was held at the home Of
Wesley Barns, and during the festivi-
ties Ethel Ransom and William
Thompson are said to have begin
shooting after an alteration. Thomas
Turner interfered and was shot and
beaten.
The men then came into town, and
while George Lantern. who was
wounded, was in DIR. O'Hara's Office,
Ethel Ransom assisted in dressing his
wounds. After leaving the Office the
Lantern crowd attacked the Ransoms.
Ethel Ransom was the first to fall.
Not satisfied, his enemies, as he cried
for mercy, beat his brains out with
blocks Of cement.
The Lanterns, finding that their op-
ponents were gaining in numbers, took
to flight The sheriff and his posse
surrounded the Lanterns home and
they, on learning that they would be
protected, surrendered.
As the sheriff departed by one road
for Covington with his prisoners a
mob was being formed. The second
fight, which was battle, was not a
sequel of the dance row. but was the
outgrowth of feud.

cratic the president will divide the ap-
pointments equally among the Demo
Gratis and Republicans. He will insist
that the appointees shall not be active
partisans. however, but capable men.
In DebatabIe States.
From the so-called solid south" the
president has picked out North Caro-
lima, Tennessee, Kentucky and Mis-
souri, as debatable states and will treat
them on the same footing as northern
states, giving all of the census jobs to
Republicans. He will insist. however.
that in these states the same stand
ard of efficiency and character of men
shall obtain. The states in which the
division between Democrats and Re
publicans will be made are Virginia,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida. Ala
bama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louis
lana and Texas.
AS to Virginia, the president is rep
resented as believing that the bitter
ness of the recent primary fight in
that state between Henry St George
Tucker and Judge Mann for the Dem
ocratic gubernatOrial nomination will
give the Republicans an opportunity
to make an excellent and encouraging
showing at the polls next November.

help the party in the state. it is said.
he will gladly do Several administra-
tion officers and possibly a cabinet Of
fcer or two will make speeches during
the Virginia campaign.
Won't Appoint Customs Court.
The president has definitely decided
that he will not make any appoint
ments to the bench of the customs
court provided for in the new tariff
bill. While it authorized the court
congress failed to make an appropria
tion for the judges or any other off
cials. If the president should appoint
Judges under present conditions. he
would have to fix their salaries. Thi:
he does not wish to do.
