VETERANS IN THE SENATE

BY the deaths of McEnery and Dan
iel the number of eX-Confederates in
the senate is reduced to six There are
eight senators who may be reckoned
as Union veterans, without counting
Bradley of Kentucky, whose father
took him out of the ranks before he
could get to the front This instance
of paternal feeling prevailing over
patriotism is set forth in Senator Brad
iey's biography. Senator Dupont, who
served in the regular army through
out the civil war, is a West Point
graduate. so is Senator Briggs, who
was born too late to acquire a war
record Most of the veterans of both
sides are in the late sixties on early
seventies, but it may be years before
the name of the last of the senator's
VINO saw service in the civil war is
stricken from the senate roll. 1t is
less than twenty years since the last
survivor of the British officers at
waterloo died. Boston Transcript.

Younger Man.

Webster City, Ia, Feb. 15.-When
Frank Powell. a prominent and well
known farmer of Webster township,
asked for a marriage license at the Of
flee of County Clerk Lund yesterday
afternoon, he almost collapsed when
informed that a license to marry the
same girl a been issued to another
man more han two weeks ago. But no
marriage had as yet been performed
and Powell insisted some mistake had
been made. He left the clerks office
and shortly returned to tell Clerk Lund
he had fixed the matter up with the
parties Interested and that the former
license would be returned this morn
ing, in which event the clerk promised
to Issue the coveted paper to him.
AS he left the court house, however.

him. This morning. instead of the for
mer license being returned. q Justices

the young man who secured it had
made good use Of it and that his lady
love was now his wife. The receipt of
this paper came near causing the clerk
to faint.

RESIGNATION Of
STORMS ADMITTED h!!!T! Ed
Now in Hands Of Board and
Stanton Is to Be Temper
airy President.

Des Moines. Ia, Feb. 15.-The resig-
nation Of President Storms of the agri-
cultural college at Ames is in the hands
of the state board of education, Dean
e. W. Stanton is slated for the tempo
rary presidency, and Professor Charles
F Curtis is scheduled for the permanent
appointment as president Of the insti-
tuition
This in the information which has
come to Des Moines through Ames COL
lege men in Dcs Moines, who have kept
close watch on the situation at the in
stitution and claim to know which way
the wind is blowing.
Students at the college are alive to
the situation and 1t is generally be-
lieved by those interviewed yesterday
that this is the program.
1t Is the general belief, also, that
President Storms will make the an.
nouncement Of his resignation within a
short time.
President Storms resignation will be
accepted by the state board of educa-
ton.
Reports from Iowa State university
are meager relative to President Mac
Lean, who has also been reported as
about to resign. 1t is understood, how
ever, that there will undoubtedly be no
change Of officers In that institution in
the neal future.
Alumni Of the two schools in Des
Moines Xpress no surprise at the
change which it is firmly believed by
mary is about to take place. There
are some, however, who believe that
there will be some opposition to Pro
fessor Curtiss for the permanent presi-
dercy of the institution.
Efforts to confirm reports similar to
the above by interviews with President
Storms or members of the state board
Of education have been futile, but
nevertheless the college men as a rule
are prone to accept it as the true story
Of the situation.

SAYS %STEPMOTHER WAS
lNClTER OF HIS CRIME

Ba~rtlesville, Okla. Feb, 14.-"My
stepmother was my tempter to such
an extent that 1 thought I loved her,
and SO / killed my father with an AK
when she ordered me &c.
Peter Brown, on trial here charged
with numbering his father, made this
remarkable admission on the witness
stand in court yesterday. He told his
story without emotion. Mrs. T. FL.
Brown, h alleged siren who, the
young man SAYS, helped him in the
crime, listened to his story with calm
ness and almost Indifference. When
young Brown told how they dragged
his fathers body and burned it, a
Woman in the courtroom shrieked and
tainted. Other women became i'll and
had to be assisted in reaching the out
side.
My stepmother aroused me at mid
night" said Brown, land told me it
was time to kill father, as we had
agreed. I took al ak she handed me,
crept slowly to where he lay asleep,
and struck him a fearful blow on the
head. Then 1 watched him CULVER until
he died.
After my stepmother had taken all
the things out of his pockets Che was
asleep on a couch and so was dressed)
she ordered me to help her carry the
body out. We gathered a lot of wood
and put 1t on the body and set fire to
1t. My mother stayed up all the rest
of the night feeding the fire with wood,
and In the morning the body had been
consumed. We cooked breakfast on an
other fire built about 10 feet from
where my fathers body had burned"
Mrs. Brown is also on trial, charged
with completely in the crime. Her law
yers informed the court they would
prove the young MAJ alone was re-
sponsible for the deed.

DEATH OF A GENERAL
Is CAUSE OF 4 R0uT
Government Forces in Mica.
ragua Win Owing to Con-
fusion Of Rebels.

Bluefelds, Nicaragua. Feb. l4.--Gen-
eral Blandon died as he held In his
hand General Luis Mena's order to
stand and fight. "A misinterpretation
of this order by another is held by tho
PROFESSIONALS to be responsible for the
retreat of their troops following their
repulse by the government forces at
Santa Clara. The insurgents dc not adj
nit defeat. n declare hat the way
to Managua is open to them.
1t Is explained that General Mena
had not expected to defeat the enemy
with his small force, but plannedZt to
keep the government forces engaged
with the idea that the enemy would
draw reinforcements from Acoyapa,
only 10 miles distant, and SO be unable
to send an augmented army against
General Chamorro In the province of
Matagalpa. This purpose was effected,
but the plan did not work out exactly
as had been hoped.
There was considerable confusion
among the insurgent Officers and the
advantage of the subsequent situation
was :, doubt. 1t is plain, however, that
the PROFESSIONALS took the heavier fire
of che enemy with courage and ac-
Quilted themselves we'll SO far as per.

Palma, Isle of Minorca, Feb. 15.-
Bodies in great numbers were floating
ashore today from the wreck of the
General Chanzy, which went down
Wednesday night with 157 persons
aboard. The authorities posted men
along the Goa to recover the bodies,
and also to watch for small boats in
a desperate hope that some of those
aboard might have escaped.
Marcel 'Rodel, the Algerian customs
official and the only known survivor,
was still unable to give a lucid account
of the disaster. When the vessel went
down he chung to a piece. of wreckage
and was washed ashore.
When tossed on the rocks he was
rendered insensible and in this state
remained throughout the night. Reviv-
ing In the morning. he wandered about
aimlessly most of the day, finally
stumbling into the village Of Ciudadela,
almost dernented.
Boats Could Not Live.
From his rambling story the authori-
ties first learned Of the disaster and
rushed help to the nearest land point.
They found only a mass Of wreckage
piled up on the coast. The villagers
been launched they could not have
lived in the sea that ragged Wednesday
night.
The Spanish officials state that a
powerful light will be Immediately
erected on the north of Minorca island
in the hope that further wrecks at this
dangerous place may be avoided.
Owing to the difficulties of commune
cation between the villages in the alb
of telegraph lines. few additional
details of the wreck reached here today.
Route Is T~reacherous One.
The route of the Algerian boats is
particularly treacherous in bad wealth
er. The steamers Vile De Rome and
the Isaac Pereire We're wrecked on the
same forbidding coast. The General
iChanzy missed the pass, between the
islands of Minorca and Majorca, being
either blown out Of her course or rem
dered helpless by the breaking down
of her engines or the loss of her pro-
peller. The place where the vessel
struck is known as Llosa.
Some reports have it that the steamer
broke in W and sank at once after
she had struck and others that an ex-
plosion occurred.
The heavy loss of life is attributed
to the probability hat during the howl
ing tempest all of the passengers and
such of the crew as were off duty were
below. Other explanations are that the
vessel struck with sue force that sew
eral b~ulkheads CAV way Simultaneous

fore a single small oat could be low

made by the government tonight.
She had been abandoned by the cap

Captain Toruno, was found aboard.
The Managua was apparently un-

into a owe at San Ramon and deserted
her. No particulars are available as
to how Captain Toruno met his death.
The pursuit of the Managua as she
steamed out of this port in the hands

BATH NOW
CLAIMED FOR HE|KE
Sugar Magnate, Indicted for
Conspiracy, Trying to
Escape Punishment.

New York, Feb. 14-To show that his
claimed Immunity bath" had been q
complete process, Charles R. Heike,
secretary of the American Sugar REIN
ing company, appeared again today be-
fore the United States circuit court in
continuation of the trial of his special
plea to sugar underweighing conspiracy
charges.
The case is an absolute novelty in
the federal courts, being only approx
imately paralleled by the beef trust"
immunity case in Chicago. Heike
claims amnesty on the conspiracy
charge because he testified before a
grand jury regarding matters covered
in the indictment against him.
The prosecution disputes this and the
trial on the issue of facts presented is
taking place before Judge Martin and
a jury. Federal Prosecutor Stimson
declares that IL Heike's contention is
not upheld he will move for sentence
on the conspiracy charge on the ground
that a plea of immunity is a confess
sion of guilty.
Heike was on the stand as the first
witness when adjournment was taken
yesterday n was recalled when court
opened today.

CAYNOR IN
FAVOR OF SCHEME
FOR A SINGLE TAX
Recommends Adjustment Of
ALI Levy Against Personal
and Other Property.

New York, Feb. 14.-Mayor Gaynor
has suggested to the tax department
that the present plan of levying taxes
on personal property in New York city
be abolished and that a single tax sys-
tenn be adopted whereby practically all
the city's revenue would be derived
from assessments on cal estate.
His proposal Is a modification OF the
Henry George single tax theory. 1t
would eliminate from the tax books all
assessments now levied or estate. res
ldent and nonresident personal prop
erty and resident and nonresident cor
porations. Estimates of officials yes
terday were that the change would add
about six points to the tax rate.
Whereas the tax last yea was 1.67 a
hundred 1t would have been about 1.73
had the mount raised from the per-
sonal assessment been dropped. This
would be equal to an added tax of
about 60 cents a thousand on the entire
real estate assessment. The assess
ment. on a residence valued at $40, 900
would have been about $12 more than

Saturday said:
Trade maintains the quiet undertone

when buyers gathering at leading mar
kets in preparation for the opening Of

mistic, and liberal buying for spring is
noted.
In the lumber trade for exports,
southern reports are of unsatisfactory
conditions. but from the Pacific coast
come lumber tradezreports of business
being, the best since 1907. Good reports
as to the shoe trade n that in rub
Der goods from the west are generally

Reports of trade conditions are some
what conflicting. While much activity
still prevails in the finished branches Of
iron and steel. the dullness in pig iron
is becoming more pronounced.
Many buyers are in the dry goods
market, but their operations are gener-
ally conservative, although steady.
Jobbers are doing almost an average
seasons trade, but have fallen short
of expectations of great activity. Large
corporations are seeking a dull bust
ness and have made close prices with
that end in view. The shoe market is a
waiting one. Since the departure Of
buyers from he Boston market new
contracts hav been i~nfrequent all
though manufacturers look for larger
orders at any time. The market on all
varieties of domestic hides is very dull

OF ASTORS
MAY Be CALLED OFF
John Jacob and His Wife, It Is
Reported, Are Considering
Reconciliation.

New York, Feb. 14.-Lawyers In the
suits brought by Mrs. John Jacob AS
tor, for divorce from Colonel John JAG
OBJ Aston, had nothing to say today re-
garding the report that the Astors
may be ~reconciled.
The report arose from the failure OF
Mrs. Astor's counsel to apply within
the last three days for a confirmation
of the interlocutory decree granted by
Justice Mills. 1t is the custom for
counsel to apply at the earliest mo-
ment to the court to make final the
decree of divorce. Mrs. Astor is now
in Europe and Colonel Astor left the
city yesterday.
The divorce proceedings We're con-
Quoted last fall before Justice Mills,
and no anne We're mentioned hi
would make difficult a reconciliation.
