This Board n viii Then De-
tern,Ins Course to
Take.

At meeting Of the stockholders OF
the Hotel Iowa company this morning.
reorganization committee with ab-
solute power to act was named to
work out some plan Of disposition OF
the stock which will work to the In
terest of the stockholders of the COM
pany.
The committee named by the meet
ing this morning consists OF John
Nagel, B. B. Hobbs, H. l. Sawyer, j..
f. Elder and John W. Collier. It was
decided that all the preferred stock
holders would be called upon to de-
post with this committee all OF their
stock, and that upon the deposit OF
$75, 900 in stocks, the committee would
go ahead and work out the plans
for the disposition of the stock.
There is 100000 in preferred
stock. Out OF possible 1880 shares
this morning there we're represented
1855 shares. This gives some idea OF
the interest which Is manifest in the
matter.
It was the sense OF the meeting
that the committee could work out in
some manner the best disposition to
make Of this stock. They were en-
powered to sell 1t, pledge it. or do
whatever they believed to be the best
policy to pursue in this matter. In
this way 1t was believed that the best
results for the best interests Of the
stockholders could be secured.
With this plan Of action determined
upon It Is evident that there need be-
no concern felt over the proposition
OF the hotel stock, since the commit
tee will not act until It has canvassed
the possible avenues open, and then
will choose the best. It was felt by,
the stockholders that the matter was
In competent hands and that 1t would
be dealt with In . way to be satisfac'
tory for all OF the interests repre-
scented.

MUST HAVE CONSENT
OF BOTH PARENTS
So County Attorney Rules and Clerk
Hart Refuses License on Ground
This Morning.

Cupid was given the X. o. this
morning in the first round by Clerk
Hart with County Attorney McManus
backing the clerk. Whether the chal-
Ilengers will be able to come back as
soon as a sufficient number Of tele-
phone wires are pulled, remains to be
seen. The clerk was approached by a
young couple, he 10 and she ID. They
had the consent Of three-fourths OF
the parents. The consent OF one OF
his parents was missing. On advice
of the county attorney the clerk re-
fused to issue the license until the
consent of all the parents was secured.
The youth confided to some SYM
pathetic listeners that he didn't have
money enough to make the trip back
to his home In Illinois and return with
HIS mothers consent He was sure
she would not withhold her sanction.
The telephone was recommended and
the would be benedict started OF to
secure telephone communication with
his parent.
In the meantime Cupid was listening
to the count OF ten.
According to the clerk, the county
attorney interprets the law to mean
that where the parents are living, the
consent Of all OF the parents must be
gained before license can be fs-
sued. Backed by this decision the
clerk played the part Of the cruel VII.

Said to Have Confessed.

The latter two negroes are said to
have confessed to the police of hav-
ing committed the crime with which
they are charged. Their confession
is said to implicatee Armstrong who
denies that he had any part In the
robbery. The two who confessed say
that Armstrong Is the one who re-
ceived the money from Inman while
he was being threatened with the 70
yolver.
Armstrong and Bailey are both
middle-aged men but Pyles, who was
released from the Mitchellville reform
school not long ago, does not appear
to be over n years old.
The crime with which these men
are charged Is one Of the most serious
outside OF murder charges, they have
been preferred against any one IN the
local court for some time. The pen
atty calls for prison sentence OF not
less than ten years or not more tnan
twenty years.
