CREENDAHL CASE
IS JOLTED TWICE
DEFENDANT DlsMlssEs WITNESS
AND HIS ATTORNEY ASKS
COURT FOR VERDICT.

Two rude jolts were given the state
today in the trial Of Henry Ed Green
dahl, charged with breaking and enter
ing the Guy B. Reynolds jewelry store
April 8. The first came this morning
when the states witness, Leo Keltner,
left the court room to carry a dinner
to some relative at the packing house,
Keltner advised with Greendahl if
they would need him this morning and
when told that they would not need
him. he left the court house. AS a re-
suit Of his leave taking, court adj
journed at il o'clock, an hour earlier
than usual The second obstacle came
Immediately after court convened at
1880 O'Clock, when Attorney l.. l..
Duke introduced a motion that the
court direct verdict for the defend
ant. This motion is now being ar
gued.
The states evidence, except for that
of Keltner, has been recorded. Thos.
Hampton testified to purchasing
watch from Greendalh and Myrtle
Hampton, Nettie Hampton and Claude
Chase told of the latter replacing the
case on the watch with different
style case. Mrs. A. L. Reynolds and
G. B. Reynolds told of the condition
they found the store after it had been
entered and the latter identified the
watch sold to Hampton as a part Of
the stolen goods. Chief Gallagher told
of securing the watch from Hampton.
The matter of finding considerable
jewelry taken from the Reynolds store
under the steps of the First Presby-
terrain church by Night Captain Matt
Mier, which Greendahl is accused Of
knowing something about, was not
introduced.

case is composed Of Jesse Moehler,

FREAK ENGINE
PASSES THROUGH
STRANGE LOOKING TYPE. OF Lo-
coMoTlvE is ROUTED OVER
THE BURLINGTON.
1T WAS THE SHEA GEAR
Odd Appearing Machine Weighs But
twenty-five Tons and is Pro-
PEELED From the Right Side
by Shafts and cogs.

Quaint looking and attracting con-
siderable attention from those pass
ing through the yards this morning,
was the small locomotive for Treas
uTy Mountain, in the mining district
of Colorado, that passed through the
city over the Burlington today. The
engine, while of standard gauge, was
very small and when lined up against
the Rs 81 of the2,S00 class Of the
Monkey motion type that are used by
the Burlington, looked like traction
engine. The most striking feature of
the locomotive, however, was not It's
size, which was but twenty-five tons,
SO much as the type of its working
parts. The engine Is known as the
Shea Gear locomotive and If one were
to look at it from the left side of the
track on which it CHANGED to be, would
be at loss to know how it received
It's power, for no connection with
power appliance is visible on that
side.
Power on Only One Side.
Looking at the engine from the left
side caused the man in charge, w. w.
Griffin, of the Lima Locomotive
works, Lima, Ohio, to answer several
questions regarding the odd looking
engine. A walk to the other side of
the machine lifted the veil of mystery
and showed one the simple manner Of
locomotion upon which the engine de-
ponds. 1t is entirely different fromi
the ordinary locomotive as seen ind
these parts and has no side rods orr
drivers like the usual type with which,
most people are familiar Instead
there are three small cylinders set
vertically along the right side of the
engine which work simultaneously
in driving all of the wheels on that
side of the engine. Instead of a pis-
ton and side rod on either side, the
cylinders all connect with shafting
that in turn at each of the eight
wheels of that side have cog connec-
ton upon the outer rim Of the wheels
and thus the driving power is COM
| municated to the engine.
Used for Switching.
The wheels beneath the tender, as
we'll as beneath the engine proper, are
connected by the shafting and speed
of about eight or nine mines per hour
is all that is made by the engine.
Speed, however, is not an essential in
the makeup of the locomotive, which
is used more largely for switching
purposes. The engine of the Shea
type is not uncommon in some parts
and many of them are in use over the.
country, as well as in foreign parts
The company has made number OF
them for service in China and they
are made as heavy as the average en-
CINE for some roads. The G. & O.,
| Western Maryland and the Souts-
ern railroad have number of
them in service as pushers, ranging
in weight as heavy as 100 tons. The
engine passing through Ottumwa is
destined to Pueblo, from where it will
be shipped to the Treasury Mountain
mines. It is equipped with air brake
i and air sanding appliances.

in Newark for three full terms. This
is a record probably unparalleled in
the history of the church.

BACK FROM PANAMA
Hermann kehm Returns After Sixteen
Years Absence 10 Visit Relatives
In the Service of the
Government.

There is no doubt about the army
engineers completing the canal on
schedule time, and the only thing to
prevent it would be the bottom falling
out of the isthmus and that would
make the canal unnecessary" said
Hermann Kehm, formerly OF Ottumwa,
who is at present visiting his sister,
Mrs. S. E. Adler, 312 East Fourth
street, and meeting old acquaintance.
Mr.. Kehm is in the service Of the
Isthmian Canal commission in the de-
partment Of civil administration at
Gatun, Panama, where he is a member
Of the police department. He is at
present enjoying vacation of three
months, and does not report for duty
until November 10. 1t is also the first
visit to his old home in sixteen years,
he having left Ottumwa in 1893 for
the coast. While living on the coast
he enlisted in the navy and but re-
Gently left the service of the govern
ment to take up the work at Pan
anna. He will visit for some time
with relatives in Ottumwa and in the
country near by before returning. MI.
Kehm arrived Sunday evening from
New York, washington and Chicago,
where he visited after landing from
Panama en- route to Ottumwa.
Likes the Country.
When seen regarding his views of
the isthmus he was very optimistic
and spoke of the canal zone in words
of highest praise. Relative to the
health conditions of that country, he
said there were more people dying
here than in the canal zone.
"The secret of the success of the
Americans in the building of the
Panama canal" said he," is the ex-
cellent system of sanitation and the
care taken by the American govern
ment to preserve the health of the
men working and living in that dis
trict, commonly known as fever
stricken. 1t was two years after the
project was gotten under way before
the actual work of digging the canal
began, owing to the sanitary measures
that were taken to make the place
habitable. Too much cannot be said
of the sanitary department and have
no doubt but that the army of engi
neers will finish the job on schedule
time, January 1, 1915. The only thine
that can prevent it is the bottom Gil
there be any to the isthmus falling
out, and if that took place there would
be no need of the canal.
Employs an Army Of Men.
Gan idea of the immensely of the
task the government has undertaken
in making the camel, may be CLEANED
| from the number of men on the pay
roll of the canal commission alone
Before leaving the canal zone I wit
messed the paying of 1900 men engag
ed in the work of making the canal
This does not have anything to de
with the railroad or any other WORT
outside Of the canal commission's

than twenty years ago Hugo de Vries

produced two new and distinct species.
Later he actually discovered It changing
by mutation to another species.
In fact, De Vries holds that species are
always formed by mutations or sudden
leaps Instead Of by impercepubie modlhca-
tons. Although he has produced evidence
which has convinced practically all biolo-
gists that new species may be formed by
mutation It IS not the generally accepted
belief that al new species are formed In
that way
