LITTLE CHILO'S
LIFE IS SAVED
GRAIN OF CORN IN WINDPIPE
DIsLoDGED At IOWA CITY =
HOSPITAL.

Iowa City, March IA race against
time for the life of child was begun
at Peterson, Clay county, Tuesday
and ended In Iowa City Wednesday
1 The victory was with the child, al
though danger is not all past.
Frank, the four-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. MORGAN Kirchner, swallowed
a grain of corn, which entered the
windpipe and lodged in the bronchus
at the entrance of the lungs. Horses
were hitched up, and run was made
to the depot, just in time to catch a
train. At Cedar Rapids, after an all
night run, the interurban was taken
and the child was brought to Iowa
City.
During all this time, the grain of
corn was swelling in size from heat
and moisture, and breathing was be-
coming more and more difficult. The
child was rushed to the Office Of Dr..
l.. w. Dean, the university medical
college specialist, tube was inserted
down through the windpipe, the grain
of corn popped into it, and it was ex-
tracted. 1t was necessary Immediately
afterward to perform eracheotomy,
opening the windpipe by making an in
cision in the throat.
Pneumonia is feared on account Of
the irritation to the lungs, but bar.
ring that, the child will recover.
The mother of the little boy was
formerly Miss Dot Greer of Iowa City.
She is the mother of two weeks old
girl and could not come to the city.
Mr. Kirchner was formerly student
in the university.

MURPHY Gets
YEAR IN JAIL
PLACED AGAIN UNDER BONDS
FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR
IN BASTILE.

For the second time during the re.
gime OF Police Judge l.. c. Hender
shctt Jack Murphy, one of the Oldest
of police court characters, has been
sentenced to one year in the Wapello
county Jail on the charge of i"toxica.
ton. BY the provisions of the code OF
Iowa Judge Hendershott placed him
under $500 bonds for his good behav-
ior, in default Of which he was commit.
ted to Jail for period Of one year.
Last year Murphy was sent up under
the same conditions but was released
after having served about two months,
because Of the complaint made by the
board of supervisors. Judge Hender.
shctt declared this morning that he is
going to keep Murphy in Jail for the
entire year this time.
The section of the code whereby
Jack was sent up. is peculiar one
and has been used by Judge Hender-
shott in only three instances. 1t is
the only one wherein man may be
given such severe sentence for in
toXication. 1t provides that the de-
PENDANT may be made to give bonds
for his good behavior or go to Jail for
year.
Judge Hendershott declares Murphy
is getting back into his old habits
again, landing in police court very Of
ten. Recent trouble in which Murphy
received deep cash in his head is
partly responsible for his sentence
this morning. The police have re
ceived information regarding this at.
fair that all was not on the square.

Washington, D. c., March PRO
posing to rename the democratic free
sugar bill IAN act to surrender
revenue. destroy competition and Gre
ate monopoly" the republicans of the
ways and means committee of the
house submitted a minority report on
next of the tariff bills to be consid-
cred by the house.
The report was submitted by Repre-
sentative Fordney of Michigan. 1t
charges that there is union between
the sugar trust and the democratic
party and that the free sugar meas
ure is designed to catch the votes OF
the consumer and will, in time, de-
liver the consumer to the mercy OF
the sugar trust.
The report reviews in the main the
dissenting views of the republican
members of the Hardwick sugar trust
Investigating committee. 1t gives
credit to the beet sugar industry for
holding down the price of sugar dur
ing the advance of last year and pre-
diets that such a safeguard would be
destroyed if the beet sugar men were
driven out of business.
The report asserts that the Under
wood free sugar bill is the boldest
attempt in the history of our republic
to surrender an important and grow
ing industry to foreign importers and
that it is against the domestic sugar
producers and solely in the interest
of the refiners of imported raw sugar,
commercially known as the sugar
trust
See Blow at Farmers.
The report asserts that the sugar
beet growing industry would be killed
if the beet refineries were forced to
suspend by tariff legislation. There
are 10000 farmers engaged In grow
ing sugar beets. tle report declares.
and it comments tEat 1.-The democratic
party says to these farmers, we pro-
pose to make you pay for this reduc-
ton in the tariff on sugar =
Predicting lire days for the sugar
consumer, the report says:
Not in the palmiest days OF the
trust, when Mr.. Havemeyer ruled its
fortunes with a rod of iron and an am
bition bounded only by the confines OF
this country. did the American Sugar
Refining Co. ever monopoliEe such
portion of the sugar consumed IN the
United States as this bill would de-
liver into it's keeping
The assertion that the Underwood
bill will help the sugar refiners and
destroy the, beet industry is followed
by the insinuation that there has been
collision between the democratic ma
jority and the sugar trust. In charg-
ing that the beneficiaries of the tariff
removal will be the sugar retiners,
the report makes this specification:
Another evidence of the closeness
of the union between the democratic
party and the sugar trust is found in
the chemical schedule recently passed
by the unanimous vote of the demo-
cratic representatives and opposed by
the unanimous vote of the republican
representatives.
Says Democrats Aid Sugar Trust.
The Payne-Aldrich bill places an ad
valorem duty of 25 per cent on bone
black. In the democratic chemical
schedule the duty on all items in this
section, except boneblack, is reduced
