BRIEFS SUBMITTED
FROM BOTH SIDES
Both Sides Of BaIIlnger-Wiison contro-
versy Submit Briefs Regarding
Land Withdrawals.

WASHINGTON May 2S.-Briefs of
both sides of the Ballinger-W Wilson cen
troversy in the Presidents cabinet,
over the withdrawal of certain lands
as ranger sites, both inside and out
side of the National forests in the
West, were presented to the President
by both secretaries at today's cabinet
meeting. The documents were filed
with the President and turned over to
Attorney General Wickersham for an
opinion. 1t is understood the Presi-
dent himself will render the decision
on that part OF the controversy that
touches matters Of the etiquette be-
tween the cabinet officers and the gen
eral policy of the administration as to
the conservation of natural resources.
The question as 1t originally arose was
a purely legal one, turning on legal
authority for the withdrawal Of ranger
cities, inside any national forests. or
outside them, in those northwestern
states where the statutes forbid addi-
tons to the national forests.

PRINCESS ALICE
rs NOW AFLOAT
With assistance Of Ten Powerful Tugs
Big German Liner Floundered
off the Beach.

STATEN ISLAND, N. Y, Bay 2s.
With ten of the most powerful tugs
and steamers pulling as hard as their
engines could be worked, and with her
own battery of engines sending her
powerful propellers at full speed
astern, the North German Lloyd Lin
er Princess Alice floundered of the
rocky beach near Fort Wadsworth
this morning into deep water. The big
liner was uninjured. Divers who
were sent down to examine the hull
reported the liners plates were not
even scratched, but II was necessary
to tighten 400 tonssof cargo from the
forward compartment. The liner had
narrow escape from accident while
coming off the shoal In order to aid
the fleet of tugs in addition to remov-
ing the cargo, the forward ballist
tanks were emptied and the stern
tanks filled. lifting the bows out five
feet, and sinking the stern to the
athirty-five foot mark. This had the
effect of making the liner respond
very slowly to her rudder, with the re-
suit that the momentum carried her
foul of the Dutch Steamer Marken. No
damage was done other than breaking
the fender Of the Marden. The Prin-
zess Alice will leave as soon as the
cargo is replaced.

MARSHALLTOWN, Ia, May Is
Charging alienation of his wife's af-
fections, for which he asks balm
in the sum of $4,000, James Grant a
retired farmer Of this city and we'll
TODD, has brought suit in the district
court of Appanoose county against
Robert Baker, prominent business
man Of Centerville. and former auditor
of Appanoose county. The usual stat
utory charges are made in the petit
ton.
Mrs. Grant, who is thirty-five years
old, was formerly Miss Fannie Daily,
a Centerville dressmaker. Her hus-
band, who came here from Nebraska
five years ago. is sixty years old and
has grown sons and daughters. Mrs.
Grant recently brought suit for di-
vorce here against her husband and
the case was decided yesterday when
Judge Parker denied the petition.
1t is more than likely that the case,
which gives promise of being extreme
sly sensational, will not be tried at the
present term of court, owing to the
Junkin murder trial, which is now in
progress at Centerville.

> ASHINGTON, May %. Just after

ator Bailey Of Texas, and w. s. Man
ming. representative OF the New

front Of the senate committee on
finance. There was reference to

to apprehend what 1t was about, Man

and the two men clinched. They were
Immediately separated without injury.
The Times article charged that
Bailey had played into the hands OF
Aldrich by his course In demanding
an immediate vote on the income tax
amendment, and had thus caused a
split Of the forces supporting such an
amendment.
The speech by Bailey in regard to
the article was one Of the most scath-

respondent that has ever taken place
In the senate. The senator not only
asserted the writer of the article was
ian infamous liar but that he was
"a miserable creature unfit to asso

CHICAGO, May 2s.-James A. Pat.
tens May wheat deal promises to 70
out tomorrow without blare Of trum-
pets or fireworks Of any sort.
The big shorts have taken their
medicine, Patten and his followers
have taken their profits and the lat
est interesting chapter in grain specu-
lation now promises to finish with
everybody happy or silent. The big
deal has been one OF the most inter-
esting, because the most open and
above board that ever has been run
in the wheat trade.
It has been an easy one for the out
slider, with faith in Patten, to follow.
For the most part the big bull has had
plain sailing since the turn OF the year
the big holding was bought last
October. 1908-and about everything
that he predicted has come to pass or
is near enough to it to merit the claim
Of accuracy.
Winter wheat has proven very
scarce. but the spring wheat crop has
held out better than anybody In the
trade had expected. II there are any
very large deliveries OF wheat today

\ will be--they must come from spring

suit Filed In the District Court Ask

The j. G. Hubinger Brothers Co.
have fled suit in the district court
against the Keokuk Water Works Co.,
asking that the water company be en-.
Joined from shutting off the water sup
ply for the sprinkler system in the
factory.
The petition rec, that an agree

the water company has notified the
factory that 1t has cut the supply OFF,
the reason arising over the style OF
meter used.
The petition states that the action
of the company Is arbitrary, tyranni

From the petition 1T appears that the
factor held back payment after the
company insisted on putting in Ger

The factory states that It IS dan

The raid resulted In the rescue Of
Beebout who has been imprisoned. It

the fling of an AFFIDAVIT by neighbors
charging inhuman treatment. The
windows were tightly boarded and
there was no ventilation. The filth
covered mattress on the floor was
the only piece of furiture. Beebout de-

Sold to Local MllIcrs.

It is revealed. however, that the
great bulk Of the spring wheat brought
down by lake from Duluth has been
sold to local millers and to local cash
grain concerns which do a distribut-
ing trade with interior mills. AL
though there were between 100000
and 100000 bushels of this wheat
Duluth No. 1 northern brought down
this month, it is unlikely that deliv-
cries to the end of the business month
tomorrow afternoon will be over 250,-
900 bushels. This will make an ag-
gregate of approximately 100000
bushels that Patten has taken in and
paid for this month, and it Is safe to
assert that every bushe. of it can be
sold at profit over the closing price
for May delivery.

Officers, not expecting an attempt at
violence, were unprepared to resist
an attack. They refused the request
Of the mob, which had gained admit
lance to the cell corridors, and en-
deavored to break down the door.
For an hour they were unable to get
the door open. The mob was divided
in two sections, one guarding the
jailors, while the rest worked at the
cell door. Barnett, pale and tremb
ling pleaded for his life while the
mob worked to open the door of his
cell but the mob laughed at his en-
treaties. He then tainted. When the
mob leaders saw It was impossible tc
get Barnett out. they made a SECOND
4 demand Of the Jailors for the prisoner
/ The demand was refused, and the lead
er Of the mob ordered his men to firs
through the bars of the cell door. Bar
nett's body was Utterly torn to pieces
by the shot. No attempt at disguis
