HIGH TAXES
CAUSE CLOSING
ottumwa's Big Packing Plant Has
Shut Down and 1000 Men
Have Nothing to do
Just Now.
SHUTS UP TOMORROW
City Council Puts Heavy Load on the
Plant Which is Said to
be Running at
Loss.

OTTUMWA, May 5.-Over one thou
sand men employed by the packing
company of John Morrell & Co. will be
laid off Friday and the plant will dis
continue to operate. John Morrell of
the firm notified the employees that this
move is taken because of the excessive
rate of taxes levied by the city council
on the firms property. Mr. Morrell
states the competitive firms are not
taxed as high as his plant.
The packing plant will close down
Friday, May 6, and remain closed in
definitely. In a letter to the employees
of the company the firm sets forth the
fact that for the past two months, the
plant has been kept in operation at
a heavy daily loss, and that business
could not be continued at profit when
THE assessment of the plant was left at
the figures arrived at by the city coun-
/ Gil.
When asked how long the plant
would be closed, John Morrell said:
I'VE have suffered severely for some
time past and feel that our position
must be fully understood by our citi-
zens | ann unable to attempt to fore
cast how long operations may be sus-
pended; it depends entirely on public
sentiment, which can view the matter
deliberately"

CONFIDENT AS
Wire WALKER
Defense in Dr.. Hyde Case Does Not
Believe That 1t VIII Fall
Down in Getting
AcquittaI.
THE FAMILY PUSHED IT THE STATE is THRoUGE
Hyde's Lawyers Were so Sure That
They Considered Submitting
Case Without Any
Evidence.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, May 5.-After
considering the advisability of submit
ting the case of DR.. Hyde to the jury,
without offering single bit of evil
dence the defendants lawyers decided
this morning such action would be too
hazardous. They still say they are con-
fident of acquittal, but do not wish
to make grave mistake. The state
finished its case with the testimony of
Mrs. Logan Swope late yesterday.
Attorney Walsh states that they will
prove the poison in Colonel Swope and
Christman Swope were created by fer.
ment with poisons taken incidentally
That poisons may have been injected
into the bodies after death.
DR.. Hyde used cyanide to poison
cockroaches in his office and used ty-
phoid germs to experiment in vaccin
alton.
One-half of the first day of the de.
Tense was consumed in an attempt to
destroy the value of the states ex
pert testimony. DR.. w. F. Trolling
a graduate of universities, denied the
opinion of DIR. Hekcon and DR.. Vaughn
that post mortem conditions justify
the belief that death could not have
resulted from natural causes. In his
opinion, Col. Swope'a death might
have resulted from uraemic poisoning
or Bright's disease.

He Was Friendly to Them as State
Senator and They Want Him
to Remain as Gov
ernor.
CANNOT FORGET HIM
His Vote in the Mining Districts of
Iowa Will Probably be
Double that Of
Before.
Especial to The Gate CITY. l

DES MONIES, May 5.-Reports
from all over the mining districts of
the state have been received at the
Carroll headquarters to the effect that
the miners are rallying to the support
OF Governor Carroll. Letters are be-
ing written by prominent mine work
ers to the effect that it is high time
for the miners of the state to reci-
procate some of the good work Gov
ernor Carroll did for them while he
was in the senate of the Iowa Gen
eral Assembly. The rally to the Car
roll standard is almost unanimous
and it is declared that his vote in the
mining district will be doubled over
that OF two years ago.
1t will be remembered that Governor
Carroll while senator was the chair
man of the senate committee of mines
and mining and while serving as such
chairman he introduced and engineer
ed through the senate and even
through the general assembly many
/, of the beneficial laws enacted for the
protection and the comfort of the
miners. One measure of unusual i'm
| portance in which he figured was the
law which carried air to the main
shaft of all Iowa mines. The miners
are remembering the valiant service
he did in their behalf and it is expect
ed from the reports being received
that the full quota of republican votes
from among the miners will be giver
him.
The recognized unfriendly attitude
which Candidate Garst has always
taken toward all labor legislation only
accentuates the support which thai
element of the voters are rendering
in behalf of Governor Carroll

Widower Got a Girl After Two Years
Search, Who Could Wear
His First Wife's
Shoes.
WAS A PERFECT FIT
All of the First Brides Clothes Hang
Just Right and so
They Were
Married.

BALTIMORE, May 5.-Searching
two years for woman who could fill
his late wifes shoes, William j. Frank
aged sixty years, an emlpoye of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, has at
last been rewarded and Miss Nora
Kearney, aged twentysix, is now his
bride. Mr.. Franks first wife died two
years ago After the funeral he bundled
all her clothes together and swore
that If he ever took unto himself an
other bride she would have to be able
to wear the first wife's clothes. For
two years he searched, but none of
the maidens who came under his OBJ
servation would fill the bill and the
clothes. Some were too stout, some
too thin, some were too tall and others
were too short.
Frank was in despair, but three
weeks ago his problem was solved.
While visiting the home of Mrs. Mary
Smith the latter's sister, Nora Kear-
ney, came into the room. The minute
Frank saw her his face lighted with
Joy and Immediately he proposed. His
entreaties fell on favoring ears and he
gained the longed"for answer. Assist
ed by her sister, Miss Kearney tried
on the CLOTHES and all were perfect
fit. They were married by Rev. James
Holden. at st. Jerome's church.

Southern convicts Gowned in Mother
Hubbards to Prevent Them
from Escaping.

ROME, Ga, May 5.-All the male
convicts of Floyd county were yester-
day garbed in Mother Hubbards by
order of the county commissioners.
This action was taken because of the
numerous escapes recently and to pro-
mote cleanliness among the prison
ers.
The authorities say that convict
wearing a Mother Hubbard will find it
very difficult to escape, and that the
health of the prisoners viii be pro-
noted by the garb during hot weather.
The convicts bitterly opposed the
change, but the authorities found a
way to make them don the Mother
Hubbards, and so clothed, they were
put to work on the streets. The spec
tacle Of fifty able-bodied men working
in Mother Hubbards caused much hu.
morous comment during the day.

CHRISTIANA, May 5.-Haakon
VII and Queen maude were the first
to greet Theodore Roosevelt and party
on their arrival here The streets
were bright with decorations and
almost every one was wearing an
American flag. Last evening the king
and queen gave dinner at the palace
in honor of the Americans and more
than two hundred of the most emf
nent personages in Norway were
present, including the premier and
cabinet ministers. The king appear
ed with Mrs. Roosevelt on his arm,
and Roosevelt followed with the
queen.
When the dinner advanced to the

toast to his health. The former pres

For more than an hour the two sat
drinking tea and talking.
The king asked many questions and
presented many opinions on matter re-

Col. Roosevelt and the King have
| made a tremendous hit with each
other. At the palace where the

and hosts. Roosevelt went to the
American ambassy for luncheon. At

FOR PLEASURE ONLY

ST. LOUIS, May 5.-President Will
liam H. Taft concluded his stay in ST
Louis without making radical utter
ance on anything that might be con-
strued to have political bearing. To
this extent, those WHO expected a
Keynote deliverance from the presi-
dent with regard to the insurgents, the
railroad rate bill, the tariff or any
thing elese were disappointed.
Even in his talk before the Traffic
club, at the Jefferson hotel last night
the president touched but lightly on
the railroad bill now pending, and il
he resents the manner in which this
administration measure Is being cut
to pieces by the democrats and insur-
gents, ae gave no public Indication of
the fact. OF the tariff he said not a
word in either of his three speeches
delivered during the Gay.
The president broke but one record
yesterday He attended two major
league baseball games on the same
day. He spoke OF this with considers
BILE amusement, and although he did
not stay long enough at either park to
get the full swing of the game. he was
given rousing reception by the fans,
and his presence seemed to turn the
run of ill-luck ii which both ST. Louis
teams have been playing, for the Car
dinals won and the Browns secured a
tie game with their opponents y.as.
President TAFT did not go to the
Country club for game Of golf, as he
felt too fatigued after the visit to the
| ball grounds, and was taken direct to
the hotel for a rest before the even
ing festivities. As consequence,
many persons were left waiting in vain
on West End corners for view of the
presidents party.
The program. with this exception
was carried out to the letter. The
president took breakfast at the st
Louis club, was driven to the Colise
um, where he delivered an address on
conservation OF natural resources te

MINISTER'S BUSY
TO STOP FIGHT
California Ministers May Arrange for
Sane Fourth at Prize

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. May 81.
Careful plans are being made today by
the ministers of California to prevent
the Jeffries-Johnson fight and it ap-
pears likely that they will slip one
over on the promoters of the battle
by waiting until July before making
their move. BY doing that, and on
the day of the battle securing an in
junction, the matter will be dragged
into court and held up, Such a delay
would be fatal to the plans of the
fight promoters.
