ing work which he has started in Dav.
export, IL he is allowed TO do so, is
the claim OF Harry L. Hagermann.
the contractor, who arrived Saturday
from st. Louis, with Lieutenant Lew of
the Davenport police and Police Mag.
istrate Louis Roddewig, who had gone
TO that city TO get him. Hsgermsnn is
now in the city jail awaiting further
developments in the tAngle which has
resulted from his building operations
and business ventures. Hagermann
says that he was bonded by the Globe
Indemnity company of New York for
the performance OF the contracts
which he had undertaken TO the ex-
tent of $4,000, and that unless the
company broke the contract, he would
make good on every piece OF work he
started, would satisfy all creditors and
would make money on his ventures
besides. He ridicules the statement
that his liabilities amount of $4,000,
and declares it to be an error. He
says his real liabilities are about
$500, and that his assets amount to
more than $4,000, bat these are not
in the form of cash. If ! could now
collect all the money that is due me
on work and material said Hager-
mann. Il could pay everything in cash
now"

before, with 5000 of stage equip
ments, with a beautiful velvet
setting. It requires two big loads
of trunks and crates for one act
alone.

Drama in one act entitled Where
the Trail Ends will be produced
in connection with this productio,
Other new features specialties,

tortionists.

THE THANKSGIVING PIE.

THE THANKSGIVING PIE.
THE golden pumpkins cheerful
sphere. nov to be seen in the
shops where vegetables are sold,
turns one thoughts lightly to thoughts
Of Thanksgiving pies.
The subject is one that admits Of
much debate, for every experienced
housewife has her own way of making
these daintias and is apt to hold that
hers is the only reliable and satisfac-
tory one. With this in mind a few
suggestions for the pie of the season
+ given here.
A Time Saver.
Many honsekeepers may not know
that it is not necessary to peel a pump
kin in preparing it for pies. Wash the
pumpkin and remove seeds and stringy
portion inside; then cut the shell, skin
and all. into small pieces and cook
with just enough water to prevent
burning till dry and mealy. Rub
through a colander and the pumpkin
will be prepared with half the trouble
Of the old way.
Pumpkin Pie.-Pumpkin pie is best
made Of a dry, fine grained pumpkin
stewed and pressed through a colan-
der. To a half pint add a pint of rich
milk or cream, two eggs well beaten,
and granulated sugar to make It quite
sweet. Some persons like the addition
Of q little molasses. cinnamon and gin
ger. A straight up and down pie dish
two inches deep is best Bake slowly,
as It should be firm when done.
Variety In Pie.
Pumpkin and Sweet Potato Pie.
Take a cupful each Of stewed pumpkin
and sweet potato. three eggs, two cup
fus Of cream, a lump Of butter the
size Of an egg, a cupful of sugar and
teaspoonful Of cinnamon. Fill pastry
shells with this mixture. bake in the
oven and when done take out. Dot
over with meringue made Of the whites
Of the eggs and three tablespoonfuis
Of sugar favored with lemon. Brown
and serve with currant or red rasp-
berry jam.
Pumpkin Custard.-Take a cupful Of
pumpkin. two eggs, one-haIf cupful Of
brown sugar. a tablespoonful Of salt, Z
cupful of rich milk and a t~easpoonful
Of cinnamon. A little allspice or cloves
may be added. Beat the eggs well;
then beat into the rest Of ingredients
to form a custard. Fill this into Z
lower crust and surround the edge
with q strip of pastry. Bake until thu

IOWA JUDGE
RULES KENYON
Law IS VOID
Says Statute Governing Liquor Ship
ments Delegates Too Much
Power.

Ottumwa, Aug. 9.-In a lengthy
opinion filed yesterday morning with
the clerk of the district court, Judge
r. M. Hunter finds the Webb-Ken-
yon law unconstitutional. The
language of the opinion sums up the
reasons for the finding as follows:
81 am led to the conclusion that
the Webb-Kenyon law is unconsti-
tutional and void, in that it is a
delegation by congress to the states
of the power to regulate interstate
commerce in intoxicating liquors
which power is vested in congress
exclusively"
He further finds that the law
gives the right to the several states
to say what shall be brought into
each, and the failure to provide a
penalty for violation leaves that
power to the state which he holds
to be contrary to the constitution.
This is the action brought origin
ally against the Rock Island rail-
road. SiXty-eight barrels of beer
were sliced at its freight house.
Later action was taken against
the Milwaukee road and the United
States Express company, all Of
whom were charged with violating
the Webb-Kenyon law.
The case later was dismissed
against the railroads, and fought
out against the express company. At
torney General Cosson aided in
prosecuting the case.

the aeroplane began travelling badly
and finally fell with crash to the
ground. Several officials rushed tc
the spot and found the bodies OF
Cody and Evans beneath the aero

number of years ago after he hat

After living precariously for {
while. he attracted the attention Of
the experts of the British war office
on account of his display of natural
gifts of construction, particularly

first experiments were made with

INDUSTRIAL WORKERS
BUSY At ORE DOCKS

smoke and many families had to fee
from their homes yesterday after
noon when the plant of the Union
Petroleum company, which occupied
an entire block in the southern sec
ton of the city, practically was de-
stroyed in spectacular fire. The
loss is estimated at $125,OOO.
The fire started in the storage
house where there were many thous-
and barrels of oil. These exploded
with deafening roar and by the time
the firemen responded the plant was
blazing in twenty places.
The flames communicated to a
10000 gallon tank, which exploded
sending burning oil in all directions.
There were eighty tanks in the
yard, each with capacity of 400
barrels, and twenty of these explod-
ed within an hour.
The cause of the fire is not
known.
