MYSTERY IN WIDOWS DEATH

Who with his wife, were we'll known
IN the fashionable world of Baltimore
some few years ago, was found dead
under very unusual circumstances in
the sitting room Of her apartment.
An autopsy showed that her skull
had been fractured. The body was
found lying at right angles across
couch. blood was oozing from a cash
on the back Of her head, and the wall
and floor bore blood stains.
Whether foul play was committed is
matter of conjecture. II was said
that Mrs. Reese had been imbibing
and number of empty whisky bottles
scattered about the apartment bore
out this assertion.
Mrs Reese's husband died in the
city poor house. although she was n

POLICE GRAFT IS
LAID upon WALDO
CreeIman DenounCes New York
Aldermen as ScoundrelS.
PASS SHORT AND UGLY WORD
Author Declares Commission Hired
Alleged Criminals for Force With
XII. out Making Inquiry Into
Their Character.

New York, Sept. 24-Crowded gal
leries alternately .cheered and Kissed
and grave aldermen of Greater New
York shook their fists and passed the
lie at the aldermanic graft investiga-
ton committee session when James
Creelman, war correspondent, author
and president Of the civil services
commission. put the responsibility for
the alleged employment of embez-
zlers. thieves and perjurers on the
police force squarely up to Police
Commissioner Rhinelander Waldo.
Creeiman Causes Stir.
Creelman caused a sensation when
he denounced the probing aldermen
as scoundrels, declared petty politics
the motive for the investigation and
called Alderman Bowling individually
lying scoundrel." 1t was by far
the hottest hour the graft inVestiga-
ton. brought on by the murder OF
Herman Rosenthal, has produced.
Creelman, on the witness stand, flew
into a rage when Special Counsel
Emory Buckner pressed him about
the appointment of unfit men to the
police force. the responsibility for
which was laid on the civil service
commission by Police Commissioner
Waldo
In his testimony Creelman fatty
contradicted the charge that the civil
service commission was responsible
for the appointment of unfit police
men to the force. He said that the
men were accepted by Commissioner
Waldo without giving the commission
a chance to investigate their charac-
tiers.
Records Passed Upon by Waldo.
The witness told the aldermen Of
visit paid by Waldo to the civil
service commissions Offices one even
ing shortly. after the commissioner s
appointment as head of the force and
how at this time Waldo went over the
| records of men rejected by former
Commissioner Cropscy.
Waldo selected a number from the
| list-accOrding to Mr.. Creelman-and
said he would appoint them as patrol,
mon. He did not ask for any veriica,
ion in regard to them.
Commissioner Waldo when on the
stand last week declared that the
appointment of these unfit patrolmen
! vas no concern Of his. that he had
merely selected the names in order
from the list supplied by the civil
service commission.

RURAL CARRIERS PAY
Increased Rate Will Become Effect
i've September 80.

When the rural carriers of Iowa re-
ceive their pay checks on Sept. 30,
for the month of September they will
receive pay for twenty-nine days at
the old rate which gives all carriers
an advance. at the rate of 500 per
year.
For some unknown reason the law
authorizing the increase in pay goes
into effect on Sept. 80 instead of Oct
/. Therefore carriers will receive one
days pay at the new rate at the next
pay day.
The following is the schedule OF
salaries for rural carriers, after Sept.
80: Six to eight mile routes, S494;
eight to ten, $ozS; ten to twelve, s572;
twelve to fourteen, GIG; fourteen to
sixteen, $500; sixteen to eighteen,

IOWA CROP BULLETIN
Official Observations of Conditions
Throughout the State.

Des L.oines, Ia, week ending Sept.
22.-The third week in September
was abnormally cold, with an excess
of cloudiness and frequent showers.
The average daily temperature was
about degrees below the normal, ana
light frost occurred in exposed places
on the 18th and 21st, but no damage
was done. Showers occurred in some
parts of the state on five days, and
while the rainfall was fairly well dis
tributed it was generally below the
normal, although many localities re-
ceived slight excess. The rapid ma
turing of corn was retarded by cool,
wet and cloudy weather, but it made
considerable progress and 60 to rs
per cent of the crop is beyond injury
by a moderately heavy frost. The re-
mainder of the crop needs ten days
of warm, drying weather to make it
safe, and three weeks to put it be-
yound danger of hard freeze. Silos
are being filled and considerable corn
put in shocks. Seed corn is being Sc
cured in many localities, and that
work will be general during the COM
ing week. Inc wet weather has also
prevented much threshing being done
and considerable grain in shocks and
stacks is reported to be badly dam
aged The soil is in excellent condi-
ton for blowing and where the rain
fall was not too heavy fall seeding
progressed rapidly. Pastures, mea-
dows and late potatoes are doing well.
