JUDGE LADp TO PRESIDE.
Will Occupy Position OF Chief Justice
at Next Meeting Of Supreme Court.

Special to imeS-fse2up!lcaA.
Des Moines, Dec. l1.-Almost lase
entry by Chief Justice Weaver in the
announcement book of the supreme
court was an order 10 the effect that
when the court sits agsin Scott M.
Iadd will be the presiding judge as
chief justice under the rules OF the
court. Justice Ladd stated yesterday
that in his opinion the new rules as
to the court being in two divisions
are working out well and will be found
very satisfactory to all concerned.
They have given the members OF the
court better opportunity for each ana
all to scan and criticize every opinion
fled. Members of the court have done
very hard work in the Septembar term
with it's four periods and have cleaned
up nearly all matters as yet submitted.
Among other things disposed OF this
week was that of the Hugh Teale
criminal case from Decatur county, the
court entering a ruling against re-
hearing in that case. The rehearing
was sought by the state in order to
secure an opinion. if possible, stating
different rule as to the preponderance
Of evidence.
| Another interesting matter disposed
| of was the case Of the state against
Charles Lockard from Fayette county.
He claimed to have pleaded guilty on
| the theory he was to get only twelve
year term. and the lower court en-
| tered a record Of a twelye-year term
but when he got to prison he found the
warden ignored the twelve-year' bust
ness and ticketed him for life in ac-
| cordance with the law which denies to
| the district courts the right to fix a
| limitation on any prison term. The
prisoner sought to get out because OF
this misunderstanding but the court
decided the warden is right and Judge
/ Springer wrong: and the. parole board
will have to do the rest.
| The court disposed for a second time
Of a case in which suit for damages
was brought by Frederick Deickman
against the Northwestern railroad for
the death Of a travelling man at De-
WITT dozen years ago. the railroad
finally winning, after the case had once
before been in the supreme court. THIS
travelling man started to go across
double track and fell in front OF a
| moving train and the station agent
tried to pull him off but both were
killed.
| An interesting insurance case was
that from Polk county in which q
! young man named Sewers sought to
make his affianced, Miss Kate Town
send. beneficiary on $1o. 900 insurance
The supreme court upholds her con-
| tention and granted her the money
against other heirs. u.

gealed and give it out to the expanding
air.
Second, ] claim the employment OF an

expansion of the condensed air gradual in
order to obtain its full refrigeratory ef-
fects. and at the same time, render avail
hIe the mechanical force with which 1t
tends to dilate to aid in working the con-
densing pump, irrespective of the manner
In which the several parts are made, ar

Third. I claim supplying the water

the heat from its under surface, substan-
tally as herein set forth. And lastly,
claim that process of cooling or freezing

WILSON'S SPEECH
Thinks President Took Fine
Stand Toward Foreign
Questions


culpepber Exum, president of the
city commission. returned yesterday
from Mobile, where he attended the
first days session of the Southern
Commercial congress and he stated that
President Wilson's address there was
one OF the best things he ever had
heard in his life. "It means much to
this country" said Mr.. Exum in ref
erence to the address.
II have noticed that there have been
different Interpretations placed upon
the speech but as far as I am con-
cerned I think he meant that II the
United States found that in the in
terest of humanity and civilization 1t
was necessary to intervene In Mexico
or any other South American or North
American country we would do so, but
that we would do it with an unselfish
motive and with no desire to annex
more territory and that Just as soon
as we believed we had remedied con-
ditions we would withdraw and make
no claims whatever. As a matter of
fact. the President never mentioned
war one way or the other.

Underwood in Mobile was wonderful.

ing Uncongealable Liquid Which
Was Used to Cool Other
Substances

Washington, October 2S.-(Special.)-An
organization which has of late become a
leading factor In the commercial progress
OF the world is the International Congress
of Refrigeration. The first assembly Of
this body was held in Paris, the second
In Brussels and the thiri held its ses-
sions in Washington and Chicago last
me nth. The coming of this congress to
the United States recalls tho part played
by our country in the early days of
the ice industry. Americans played a
conspicuous part in the development of
refrigeration, especially some in the SOUTH
where refrigeration and the manufacture
of ice We're matters of vital Importance.
The first United States patent for the
manufacture of ice, No. $780, was granted
to John Gorrie of New Orleans on May
6, 1851, fcr a process of artificial pro-
duction of Ice, and the original patent
and papers are now on exhibition in the
United States National museum.
They are especially interesting in that
they cover completely DIR. Gorrie's early
method of making ice and his refrigera-
ton system, which was the indirect pro-
cess, that Is, the cooling CT an uncon-

substances. According to the early GUS
tom of the patent office the papers and
the patent are written BY hand on parca-
| ment, and though now quite old, are
nevertheless in excellent condition.
In 1898 George H. Nhiteside of Apa-
| lachicola, Fla, secured these papers, which
| he presented to the Southern Ice ex-
| change, and for that organization depos-
| tied them in the National museum, to-
gether with series ct articles on the
| same subject which appeared in the Com
mercial Advertiser of Apalac nicola in the
| year 1874, as written by Dr. John GoiIie
under the nom de plume OF Jenner.
There follows an abstract from s7eci-
| fications of Gorrie's first PATENT
ITO All Whom 1t May Concern: Be it
! known that l, John Gorrie of the city of
New Orleans, in the parish of Orleans and
state of Louisiana, have invented a new
and useful machina for the artificial pro-
duction of ice ana sor general refrlger-

| is a full, clear and exact description.
