to raise the amount which he has not
been able to do today, he must needs
be incarcerated in the county jail for

woman filed an information this morn
ing charging him with threatening to

MRS N. SULLIVAN
CALLED BY DEATH.
WE'LL KNOWN RESIDENT OF CITY
ANSWERED FINAL SUMMONS
THIS MORNING.

Nora A. Sullivan, better known to
her legion Of friends as Mother"
Sullivan, passed away at the family
residence, 43O East Main street this
morning at $50 o'clock, aged 50 years.
A stroke of paralysis which seized
the venerable and beloved woman just
two days ago, removed her from this
earth to the higher and better world.
An acquaintance that has been CITY
wide because of her amiable and low
able disposition and her willingness TO
make the cares of others her cares, IS
filled with deepest sorrow at her pass
ing and the suddenness of her demise
has come as shock to all.
For some time Mrs. Sullivan had
been visiting near Burlington and al
though seized with slight sickness
there, she recovered and was thought
to be in fair health. Thursday after
noon, however, while returning to OF
tumwa in company with her son.
James Neylon, she suffered stroke OF
paralysis just before the train reached
Mt Pleasant. From that time mrs.
Sullivan has been unable to speak
Upon arrival in Ottumwa she was TAX
en- to the hospital but she seemed to
desire to be taken home and was re-
moved there last evening. This morn
ing the angel of death crept into the
household and claimed Mrs. Sullivan.
The decedent was born in Ireland
and came to this country when six
teen years of age. For the past thirty
years she had resided in Ottumwa and
had established true friendship with
all whom she knew. Inclined to be
mother to all, she soon was known by
the precious name of mother" In
fact there were many who knew her
by no other name She was devout
Catholic and a member of the St.
Mary's Catholic church for many
years.
She is survived by two daughters,
Mrs. Tim Mack of Spokane, Wash,
who will arrive in time for the fun
eral, and Mrs. Pat Leeney Of this city
and one son James Neylon. Two grand
children also survive. James and Mona
Summers, and two great grandchildren

CALL CHILDREN
IN SEE CASE
FORMER MEMBERS OF JUNIOR
COMMONWEALTH Testify IN
ABDUCTION TRIAL.

Chicago, ILL.,, June 24.-Counsel for
Evelyn Arthur See, charged with the
abduction of Mildred Bridges, today
planned to bring to the witness stand
two score of small children, former
members OF Sees Junior common
wealth to testify to the purity Of the
teachings of the founder Of Absolute
Life"
There was no session OF the court
today and attorneys spent much time
rearranging their plans for court pro-
ceedure.
Although excerpts from the Book
of Truth" read in the trial Of Evelyn
Arthur See late yesterday afternoon
were of nature that earned the clos
est attention from most of the specta-
tors, Juror F. w. Gottlieb fell asleep
and slumbered peacefully for fifteen
minutes. His nap was broken when
Prosecutor Burnham, loudly de-
claimed a paragraph which sent
a wave of bushes through the numer-
Gus feminine contingent. Then he set
tied back in his chair and listened.
Attorney James E. Callahan of the
defense said that Gottliebs lapse
would be used. If necessary, in apply.
ing for new trial for See.
The day was hot and the court
room crowded. Gottlieb had scarcely
become thoroughly awake before it
was discovered that stenographer
had fallen a victim to fatigue and
the heat. His pencil faltered in Its
course and then stopped. The re-
porter was asleep. He was awakened
by an attorney. A policeman in charge
of the Book of Truth" also fell a
victim to drowsiness but not being
needed by either side was allowed to
slumber on. A spectator with bald
head enjoyed similar immunity.
Those who urge that the defendant
has an hypnotic eye" called attention
to the fact that those who succumbed
were in line with his vision, but no
one could swear that he had looked
with any particular interest at any
of the sleepers, except the juror.
One paragraph read to the jury fol-
lows: "Do not think allow the dissi
patton of the world. 1t is only when
you are free make you husband and
wife. Society will sanction what you
do, because it is my will. l have not
forgotten society in my ordinations for
the person. Your freedom in sex is
not freedom with sex, it is freedom
from SEX"

EXAMINATIONS
BEGIN THIS week
THE HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING
WILL BE USED FOR HOLDING
ANNUAL QUIZ.

Mrs. Elizabeth Burgess, county
superintendent of schools, returned
home last evening from trip through
the western part of the state where
she conducted reading circle work for
the state board of education at Corn
ing, Bedford and Greenfield. Upon
her return home Mrs. Burgess began
arrangements for the coming examina-
lions to be held for teachers of the
county. The examinations will be
held in the high school as the numbers
that take the June teaching examina-
lions are usually larger than at other
times in the year and the Office Of the
county superintendent is hardly large
enough to accommodate the task.
These examinations begin Wednesday
OF this week and continue for two
days.
