Des Moines, March 25.-Dr. Henry

He was lthe eldest brother of Mr.. j. K.

this city. The deceased came with his
father from Massachusetts ito Cass
county, Iowa, in the year 1855. The

The deceased served four years in the
Second Iowa cavalry. After the war he
completed his education, studied med
icine and for a time practiced in the
city of Boston. Then he praetfced for
a time in New Jersey, and about the
YEAR 1872 removed to Atlantic, Iowa.
In all these places he was successful.
About thirty years ago he removed to
Pasadena, Cal, going largely on ac-
count of his health. His success in
Pasadena was of the highest charac-
ter, and he leaves an estate of more
than a quarter of a million dollars.
His death was unexpected.

PRINCE UNDER FIRE
George Of servia Renounees Claims to
Throne, Because Of Charges That He
KILLED One Of His Servants. |

BELGRADE, March 25.-George, crown
prince of Servia, has renpAnced mis-
right Of succession to the Servian
throne. The action is the result of a
bitter press campaign, in which sile
crown prince is accused of the recent
death of one Of his servants, man
named Kolakovftz.
In a letter to Premier Novakovitch
this morning the crown prince an
nounces that he has taken this step
rather than rest under the suspicion of
having murdered his servant, and that
by his renunciation he foregoes all spe-
cial privileges and immunities that at
tach to the person of an heir to the
throne, and he expresses a willingness
to go abroad for a lengthy sojourn.
The servant, Kolakovits, was re-
moved to the hospital last week, suf-
fering from serious internal injuries,
and died after an operation, accord
ing to the report of doctors who per-
formed an autopsy. The man suffered
from hernia, and his death was due to
serious injury consequent upon falling
The press and public,
however refused to accept this explain
alton, and openly voiced their sus-
picions that the crown prince was re-
sponsible for the death of his servant.
The scandal grew to such proportions
that it was impossible to hush it up,
and the final outcome was the SEN
announcement Of the crown
prince to the premier. 1t is reported
that the servant, before his death, as
serted that his injuries had been in
ficted by the prince. There have been
many previous reports of brutalities of
this hairbrained youth, since he came
to Belgrade, after the murders of King
and Queen Draga, in 1903.

clerks and surveyors for work. The

tions pertaining to water transporta-
ton. the Improvement of the water
ways within the state, the question Of
the conservation of our natural re-
sources, the development of wata
power, the protection and developmer :
of forests, and other questions pertai E
ing thereto. and to recommend to I. :
legislature such action as it may de
best upon these subjects"
The disposition on the part OF n :
bers who make a great show OF d.
ing a reduction in commissions and
boards to take a different view when
their own interests are involved Is
shown in the matter of creating a de
partment of horticulture and forestry"
a bill for which has passed the house
and has been indorsed by a senate
committee. This bill creates an en-
tirely new and separate department.
and the most important part is that it
would incorporate into the code a pro-
vision permanently giving to this de-
partment rooms that are among the
best in the state house 1t also gives
authority to issue bulletins, circulars
and other publications for free distri-
button, and the state printer us re-
quired to print them in such num-
bers as the secretary of the new de-
partment may indicate. In no pres
ent department is there any such wide
scope of authority. The bill is by Sen
ator Gillilland.
The senate committee on judiciary
did not like the house bill which was
passed permitting the amendment Of
an Indictment at any time prior to the
trial of the accused person. so as to
correct errors, and recommended its
indefinite postponement. But the bill
has been placed on the senate cal
endar with a view to forcing a vote on
the same to see whether or not the SEN
ate will approve of continuing the rigid
dull now prevailing.

IOWA WOMAN KNOWS wHlTLAs.
Mrs. Gillette, of Sioux City, School,
mate of Mrs. Whitia.

Sioux City. March 25.-Mrs. A. s.
Gillette, 1000 Pierce street, who is a
close friend and former schoolmate OF
Mrs. James Whitla, whose S-year-old
son was kidnapped last week from his
school in Sharon, Pa, has received a
telegram from her cousin, Stewart
Henderson, telling of the safe return
of BILLY"
In speaking of the close friendship
of her family and the family of Mrs.
Wllitla, Mrs. Gillette said that the two
homes were next each other in Mercer,
Pa. and that the children were school
mates.
while the Buhl family is extremely
rich 1 do not think that the kidnappers
could have had that in mind because
of the fact that the ransom was not
raised after Frank H. Buhl offered
100000 for the return of Billy. Nor
do I think THAT Mr.. Whitla could have
had enemies because of the fact that
he is an unusually religious man and
has always been prominent in church
work in Sharon. When Billy Sunday
was there last year Mr.. Whitla was
one of his most enthusiastic support
ers giving his time and money In the
interests of. the evangelist"
will prosecute THE case"

HOPKINS MEN HOPEFUL.
Feel Encouraged by Deneen's Refusal
of Senatorship, Lf Offered Him.

Springfield, H.. March 25.-Thru the
morning there was much discussion
among members of the legislature, of
the events of the prolonged balloting,
yesterday. 1t was freely stated that the
refusal of Deneen to accept the sena-
torship if it was given to him, had en-
couraged the Hopkins men. and that
plans are being made by the Hopkins
forces, to prolong the deadlock thru
the session. on the argument that if 1t
would disgrace" the governor to be-
come a candidate, it would equally
disgrace" other prominent politicians
to enter the race. Should the deadlock
continue over the session, there would
be opportunity to submit the senator
ship to the people for another advisory
vote next spring, in the primaries.

ator:

procure such license it will be neees-
sary for them to certify they are not
monopoies and not over-capitaized.
The bill also provides a pure food
standard for supplies transported from
state to state. Consideration of the bill
is taken as further evidence that the
president is considering every means
.of securing more comprehensive con-
troll and regulation of interstate corpor-
ations in the hope that he may SUBJ
nit plan in detail to the next session
of congress.
Increased powers for the bureal OF
corporations in the department of COM

of a special bureau in the department
of justice are further steps in the pres
ident's plan.

Willie said the man, who gave the
name of James H. Boyle, was the one
who took him from school and carried
him thru tortuous route to Cleveland,
then to Ashtabula, then back to this
city, where he placed him in the house
in the east end, where he was held
until the money was paid.
Willie also declared that the woman
was the one who cared for him at She
house where he was detained and who
acted the part of nurse.
The woman, who is accredited with
being the wife of Boyle, declared socn
after her arrest that her identification
would cause a sensation in Sharon.
When the identification was complete
Whitla would say nothing regarding
the woman. He said he knew Boyle
slightly.
Immediately after Willie Whitla had
seen the man and woman at the coun-
ty Jail at the police station, they We're
taken to the county court house and
there appeared before the grand jury.
They were examined for the purpose of
aiding the jury i'll its attempt TO flnd
an indictment against the two pr1s-
oners. The charge, under the laws OF
Ohio, against the man and woman, il
an Indictment is found, will be for
blackmail. This is based upon the
payment of $4,000 paid by Whitla.
AS Boyle and his wife are held by
the police on suspicion only, the in
dictment will afford a means of plac-
ing them under arrest for taking
money and then they can be held in
definitely. Immediately after leaving
the grand jury room Mr.. and Mrs.
Whitla, Willie and the janitor of the
Sharon school which Willie attended
left for Sharon.
AS the prisoners have not waived
examination they will be held here for
two or three days until the necessary
papers for their removal to Sharon can
he arranged between the governors OF
Ohio and Pennsylvania.
The woman known as Mary Diener,
who the police say may be an asso-
ciate of the llidnappers or was impl1-
Gated in the plot committed suicide to-
day by drinking morphine. The woman
drank the poison while standing in
front of drug store in the east end,
not far from the house in which Willie
Whitla was detained here. She died
in the ambulance while being taken to
the hospital

johnson, of North Dakota, had pre-
sented a memorial from the legislature
