OTTUMWA RAILROAD MAN TRANSFERRED
.~-"t TO MARION AS GENERAL YARDMASTER

After continuous service as gen
eral yardmaster for the c., M. & st. p.
road in Ottumwa covering nine years
to the very day, Samuel McKinlay left
this morning on Milwaukee No. for
Marion where he assumes similar
duties for the company. The singular
feature of his transfer is that exactly
nine years ago today he came here to-
take the yards for the Milwaukee and
the able manner in which the ever
growing business has been handled by
Mr.. McKinlay in the yards is his
highest recommendation as an execu-
tive. The tentative program as an
nounced by local officials is that John
Sowders, for some years past chief
clerk to Superintendent J.. A. Mac
donald will succeed Mr.. McKinlay as
general yardmaster of Ottumwa. The
change is lucrative promotion for
both men, both of whom in their

been faithful and efficient employees.
Sam" as he is most Familiarity
styled by his legion Of friends, has
been we'll liked and deservedly popu-
lar yardmaster. His experience in rail-
road work has fitted him for the big
ger things. He is graduate. of the
train service, going back score OF
years and reaching to the period when
the Milwaukee was new road in Of
tumwa. Most of it's development has
been witnessed during his tenure Of
here. That he has been
able to cope unassisted by an assistant
yardmaster during these years, and
considering that the peculiar topog-
raphy of the yards demands the ex-
penditure of much gray matter to keep
traffic moving even in the ordinary
periods of business, bespeaks for the
departing official much to his credit
as an executive. His new duties will
be enlarged, but the facilities will be
likewise enhanced. He goes to the
Chicago & Council Bluffs (main line)
division and has larger scope for his
ability in handling freight traffic.

Washington had rejected all bids on
the federal building for Guthrie and

AGAINST JUDGE
SENATOR'S OVERRULE Dr.
FENSE IN DIRECTING TO
INTRODUCTION OF GER
TAIN EVIDENCE.
(By United Press Leased Wire, !

Wy Sh''eu lEeSS Leased wire, ,
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 5.
The first test vote in the i'm
peachment of Judge Archibald of
the commerce court came in the
senate this afternoon on a ques-
ton of whether the contract for
the purchase of the culm dump
i'll which it was alleged Archibald
was referred to as a purchaser
by the title of Silent Partner" Z"
was admitted as evidence.
The senate by a vote of So to
6 voted for its admission. Sem
ators Brandage, Burnham, Cal
linger, Guggenheim and Clark
of Wyoming voted NO"
William p. Boland drew the
silent partner" contract.
When the trial was resumed
today Edward Williams of Dun
more, Pa, continued his testf-
mony of Archibald s alleged part
norship with him in the purchase
of a culm dump near Scanton.
The witness was cross-examined
by Congressman Webb of North
Carolina.
Williams reluctantly admitted
that Archibald drew up an agree
ment for an option on the Katy
did culm bank, in the sale of
which, 1t is alleged, Archibald held
a half interest. Archibald watch
ed Williams closely throughout
his testimony.

night carousal in the woman-s
apartments at the Sorrento hotel
here, during which the champagne
flowed freely. loosening Widney's
tongue, and making him in a mo-
ment of forgetfulness call his
companion "Bess," the name OF
his wife. Fired with jealousy.
the woman is alleged to have seiz-
ed a revolver from a bureau draw
er and shot Widney in the groin.
AS God is my Judge, I am not
guilty of this awful affair. 1
didn't shoot Mr.. Widney," said
Mrs. Lyons today. Bob was eI-
amining my revolver, a present
from my first husband, when It
exploded. / saw him stagger 20
the door with the revolver in HIS
hands. Even then | thought ne
was playing a joke. In another
second, however, | saw the blood
squirting through his clothing and
l screamed in terror"
Widney, who is still at the
point of death i'm a local hospi-
tai, refuses To discus what ham
nened before the pistol cracked.
The Lyons woman maintains her
innocence and declares Widney
eXonerated her before he was
taken to the hospital. Between
the two the police are puzzled.
Never in all the history of tam
sled romances which have been
barred to the world In San Fran
cisco has there been a case where
more fervor was packed into let
ters and kilograms than Widney
crowded into his. Some of the
letters are too familiar to bear
but even the tefe-
srams, pleading. begging, implor-
ing for the love of the woman
who wanted to break away are 60
strenuous that the wires must
nave warmed when they passed
over.
Beautiful and petite, the Lyons
woman was apparently the center
OF Widney's life, and he was will
ing and anxious to lose all for
her. Most of his letters were
signed "V. I. A. B." which indi-
cate, Violet, l adore you.-Bob."
MRS. Lyons, though guarded by
the police, is proud of her con-
quest, She made no objection to
Wldney's letter being taken nv
the press today and cheerfulIv
concurred in a selection of huge
paragraphs in which her charms
are shown.

MANY WANT
HER; ONE CAN
HAVE HER

Patience, everybody! You cam
not all have Laura Margaret for
Christmas. There is only one OF
her.
There is one man in the Times
office who is kept busy every
morning reading Laura Margaret
letters. A waste basket is besiGe
his desk. Your letter which you
penned with such care may go In
to the basket.
Or 1t may go on hook No. I.
If your letter goes on hook No.
l it signifies that the man likes
your reasons for wanting Laura
Margaret and that your letter has
the right ring. He is a human
man and has kids of his own.
If your letter lands on hook
No. l, the man will investigate
your references, your business,
your home life, your character. II
you pass this scrutiny, your let
ter will go to hook No. 2. And =
Hook No. is empty.
If you can give Laura Margare,
the right kind of home, the
right kind of education and train
ing, the right kind of love-in a
word, if you have the PRICE
your letter will move on to hook
No. 3.
And you will get Laura Mar
garet for Christmas.
Just one letter of the hundreds
that have come to the Times will
reach hook No. 3.
We didn't know so many OF
you wanted Laura Margaret. The
law of supply and demand is in
exorable and applies here. The
greater the demand for Laura
Margaret, the higher the price.
