COURT AGAIN
BEGINS SESSION
HEARING OF CASES AND CALLING
OF THE GRAND AND PETIT
JuRIEs TAKES PLACE.

| The resumption of the August term
| Of the district court this morning after
! a continuance of two weeks from the
formal opening Aug. %, when but two
days of the session were held, was
| without feature other than the as
| signment Of cases. This took all of the
morning and this afternoon Judge D.
M. Anderson took up the hearing Of the
case Of e. E. Collins of Cedar Rapids
against Frank Koht, of Grlnnell. The
case Is brought to recover $4,000 al
legged owing on commissions to Collins
| by Koht who formerly conducted
store in Eldon. The defense has asked
/. for a continuation two which the plain
tiff objects and the court is considering
the motion and objection this after
noon.
Following the Collins -Koht case, the
court will take up the case of Eunice
Currie against the Continental Cas-
ualty Co. This is a case that was
formerly heard in Wapello county and
Fin which the plaintiff was given a
Judgment. The Casualty Co. took the
case on an appeal to the supreme court
where the decision was reversed and
the case sent back to the district
court for rehearing on technicalities. 1t
will be remembered that the case
when originally brought was to re-
cover on an accident policy held by
Eber Currie the husband OF Eunice
Currie, in the Continental Sasualty Co.
Eber Currie was an engineer and was
killed in the Panama Canal zone where
he was employed. The case promises to
be hard fought
The court had the petit jury called
this afternoon and the machinery OF
the court is being gotten in motion to
grind out the cases without delay dur
ing the remainder OF the term. The
grand jury returned to the city
and began it's work this afternoon.
There is considerable to do by the
grand jury and the members hope to
finish the work during the present
week.

Albany, Jan. 21.-That the inyesti-

action of the Senate in adopting a
resolution providing that the inquiry

TROUBLE IN BASEBALL CAMP
Special Meeting Of North Adams As
ISOLATION Next Week

North Adams, Jan. 2l.-Officer AL
bert Whitney has presented a petit
ion to President Campbell which has
been signed by about 20 of the stock
holders of the North Adams Baseball
association asking for a special meet
ing to be called Thursday evening,
January o. The meeting will be
called
The request for a meeting which
by the by laws may be called any
time that ten stockholders petition
for the same is desired by the Manag-
or Flaherty insurgents to inquire
into the issue Of note to Manager
Flaherty for back salary made by the
directors of the association recently.
While the matter was left in tn,
hands of a special committee consist
ing of Attorney John H. Mack. Gil
bert Maxwell and Harley Hunt who
desired the matter brought to the
whole association for action, never
theless the board of directors issued
a note to Manager Flaherty, 1t is
claimed that the board of directors
were acting within their legal rights
in so doing.
1t is understood that the 'insur-
gents" base their objections to the
issue of the note upon the fact that
Manager Flaherty said in his annual
report that he was willing to wait for
his money until next season,
To many on the outside it seems as
if the insurgents" in their desire to
trim Manager Flaherty were making
"a mountain out of a mole hill" as
the note does not pay Manager Flah-
erty but is simply an exhibition of
good business judgment on his part
in getting something tangible from
the association to show that he is
owed money as protection to him
self and his family if he should die.
He probably will wait for his money
until next summer despite the note.
The special by laws committee will
also render a report at the meeting.

London, Jan. 21.-The status of the

Elections were held yesterday for
AZ seats, one in London, three in
English provincial boroughs, twenty
six in English counties. eight in Scot
land, three in Wales and six in Ire
land Reports from only twelve of
these were received tonight
The proposal TO reform the House
of Lords counted strongly among the
country people perhaps more strong
ly than did tariff reform Scotland
and Wales, where non-conformists
abound stand by the Liberal party,
but the counties have given general
Unionst gains which have wiped out
the small Liberal majorities in most
of the doubtful regions.

THREE GAGGED AND
MURDERED IN A
NEW YORK FLAT
Bodies Found in Apartment on
Sixth Floor
TWO WOMEN AND A MAN
Handkerehiefs Had Been Stuffed In
to Victims Mouths and Heads
Crushed With a Hammer

New York, Jan. 2l-Triple murder
was revealed in an obscure fiat in
the heart of New Yorks East Side at
dusk Two women and a man are
the victims and the manner of their
death was horrible They had been
gagged with silk handkerchiefs and
their heads crushed with a hammer
or an axe The bodies were left fully
dressed, lying on the floor. A whim-
pering bull terrier was the only life
in the fiat. Robbery was the motive,
or else it is another case of the black
hand
Salvatore Scalpone, we'll to do
young Italian barber, his wife and
middle aged woman, believed to have
been Mrs Scalpone's mother. are the
victims. Scalpones failure to appear
at his shop started an investigation
which resulted in the discovery Of
the crime.
In the kitchen the first room off
the fire escape, lay Scalpone's body
Il was tied to the door. The face
was battered beyond recognition
Near his dead master stood the whin-
ing terrier, covering and bloodspat-
tered The animal had paced from
body to body, snuffingm i
body to body, shifting one and then
the other, staining the floors crimson
with his footprints and waiting for
human aid In the next room were
the bodies of the women, gagged as
was the man, the handkerchiefs sim
ilarly knotted and the hedas ALTERED
as If the same instrument had been
used on all three But no weapon
with which such wounds could have
been inflicted was found in the fiat.
Dire confusion reigned in the
abode of the dead. Drawers were
dumped, cupboards ransacked mat
tresses ripped open and every con-
ceivable hiding place for money or
valuabes pried open. In little hall
way the last traces of the murderer
or murderers were found. There con
cealed under a potato sack was ba
sin half filled with bloody water, a
blood stained vest and a pair of over
alls, also blood spattered The water
apparently had been used by the
slayer to wash his hands before lock-
| ing the apartment and making his
escape by the fire escape.
The police are convinced thatsmore
than one person took part in the MUIR
der, for, with the bull terrier on
guard and three persons to cope with,
one man, they say. would have been
powerless. Also examination show
ed that Scalpone's body had been
dragged from the dining room to the
kitchen where it was tied. There is
no direct clue to the murderers.
