CONvEN ENTION
COMMERCIAL CLUB COMMITTEE
is MEETING THIS AFTERNOON
TO DISCUSS COMING GATHER
ING OF IOWA DEMOS.

The convention committee Of the OF
tumwa Commercial association is in
session this afternoon discussing vari-
Gus ways of bringing pressure to bear
upon the state Democratic central
committee to select this city as the
place of holding the 1910 convention
of the party. The committee plans to
send strong representation to Des
Mo1nes when the state central body
holds its meeting the latter part of
this month, and there set forth the ad-
vantages of coming to Ottumwa for
their annual meeting. Every effort
will be made by the committee to
emphasize the desire of this city for
the honor, but no one realizes more
than the members Of the convention
committee what a task it will be to
cope with other cities in the state for
the distinction. Already there are two
cities looming up prominently for the
honor, Des Moines and Council Bluffs,
and from these two cities can be ex-
pected overtures of no little consider
alton.

DOCTOR HELD AS ASSASSIN.
Hospital Tent Explosion in West
Charged as Plot to Kill Moth
or and Babe.

San Francisco, Feb. 14-Dr. w. f.
Burke, head of sanitarium near
Santa Rosa, was arrested Sunday
charged with an attempt to blow up
Luella Smith and her infant with giant
powder. For a week the San Francisco
papers have been filled with sensation
al stories Of the mystery of an ex-
plosion in the woman's tent on the san
itarium grounds.
The woman Is not beautiful, but is
bright and has studied at the Univer-
sity OF California She worked for
several years as nurse at the sani-
tarium and Burke showed her much
kindness. Lately, however, since she
gave birth to her child, he has declar-
ed her insane.
The district attorney has evidence
which he thinks will prove the doctor
is the father Of Luella Smiths child
and that the explosion was intended to
removo both as possible menaces to
the physician.

MORE FILINGS
IN REDMAN CASE
SHERIFF GRIFFIN FILED AMEND.
ED CROSS PETITION WITH
CLERK TODAY.

Another petition was added to the
already voluminous documents filed in
the Redman-Phillips reward case in
the form of an amended cross petition
of Sheriff w. B. Griffin of Abba. The
petitioner states in his amendment
that the plaintiff Redman is not en-
titled to the reward owing to the find
ing of the ring because Junkin gave
the assumed name of Walter Davis
when he pawned the diamond, and
that it was the petitioner by his own
labors who identified the ring as that
of the murdered girl, Clara Rosen A
withdrawal of answer and the filing Of
a demurrer by 7. ]. Phillips In the
same case states that plaintiff Redman
is not entitled to the relief sought and
that the offer made by Mr.. Phillips
was In the capacity of mayor and not
a personal liability. In the same con-
nection a reply or answer to Jacob
Redman was filed by II. C. Williams
in which the allegations of Redman
are all denied and it further states
that Williams was acting Jointly with
the ottumwa police force and not as
a hired detective.

MONKEYS LOOSE
AT L0NCNI()RTHS
PETS CHASE DINNER GUESTS
AROUND ROOM AND CREATE
LIVELY TIMES.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 14.--If Col.
Roosevelt is having any more thrilling
adventures in Africa than number OF
distinguished persons had in the din
Ing room Of his daughter, Mrs. Nicho-
las Longworth Saturday, they think
he owes it to his family to come home
at once.
According to the tidings brought to
the front by the society reporters,
there was a monkey hunt at the Long
worths that left the company duly i'd
pressed with the terrors Of the jungle.
1t appears that Representative and
Mrs. Longworth were giving a dinner
in honor of Mr.. and Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt of New York. Along to-
ward the close OF the dinner the talk
drifted to animals, and Mrs. Long
worth described two pet monkeys she
recently acquired. The guests express
ed desire to see the animals and Mrs.
Longworth had the cage carried into
the dining room.
Women Shrek; Men Jump About.
In some way the door Of the cage
became unfastened and one of the
monkeys escaped. 1t leaped to the cen
ter of the table and, turning hand
spring, climbed the chandelier, where
1t hung by it's tail and chartered at the
company. The women shrieked and
scrambled to their chairs, while the
men fell over each other in trying to
evolve measures OF protection and at
the same time capture the beast.
The monkey eluded the brave hunt
ers with ease. 1t sprang from the chan
Il nIf t-or Io
four times, while the women and some
Of the men went rapidly out of the
nearest doors. Then it vaulted into the
plate rail, where it did a few stunts to
the damage of much bric-a-brac. Final
ly it intrenched itself behind jardi-
Mere, where eventually 1t was captur-
ed.
Beast Bites Mrs. Cochran.
When the monkey was restored to
its cage and quiet had settled down
over the dinner once more, Mrs.
Bourke Cochran, who is visiting Gen.
and Mrs. Clarence Edwards, expressed
the opinion that there was something
wrong with the construction OF the
nest provided for Mrs. Longworths s
pets.
She had been in the Philippines and
she thought she knew something
about the building of homelike monkey
nests. Cotton and soft grass were pro-
duced and Mrs. Cochran proceeded to
arrange the monkeys house.
The beasts did not appreciate her
efforts, however, and one of them bit
her thumb. A physician examined the
wound and said there would be no dan
gerous consequences.

tai and will probably die of knife
wounds inflicted by John Castro, an.
other colored resident of the Row. Full.
kerson's wounds are many and ser.
1ous and DR.. Fred Bowles, who is at.

ed murder, or If the wounds result in
Fulkerson's death, the serious charge
OF murder in the first degree will be
filed against him.
From Fulkerson's story to the po-
lice, the quarrel was the outcome of a
theft OF few groceries which Castro
had purchased early in the evening.
Castro also had rooms at the King
residence and when he came home
late Saturday night, he found the gro
ceries missing and accused Fulkerson.
Fulkerson denied the charge. Then
Fulkerson claims that Castro wanted
to stay all night with him and he con-
sented. While the two men were in
bed, they started quarreling and Cas-
tro is said to have gotten UP. Fulker-
son followed and, according to his
statement, Castro stabbed him several
times.
The cries Of Fulkerson attracted
other occupants Of the house, but his
wounds were not thought to be SER
1ous. DR.. Bowles was not called until
about 1880 o'clock Sunday morning.
AS soon as he examined Fulkerson,

right arm to the bone. The knife was
stuck into his ribs and narrowly miss
