SOME FRICTION AT
SUPERVISORS MEETING
Controversy over Justice Fees Con-
tinues to Furnish Subject for
Comment at the Sessions.

Today, the Lee county board OF
supervisors are in adjourned session
at the court house in Fort Madison,
says the Fort Madison Gem City The
business before them is mostly rou-
tine. Little has developed recently
in the Bruce Lake affair with the
county, and in the dealings of the SUI
pervisors with the eastern bondsmen
Interested. There continues to be
much comment about the little friction
between the supervisors, County Aud
itor, A. P. Meyer and the justices of
the peace, relative to the civil fees
which are no longer considered the
property Of the justices. There are
very few who are not willing to admit
that the auditor is taking the right
stand in the matter. At the same
time many persons in the county be-
.ieye that, if the justices of the peace
are not allowed the civil fees, they
ere surely entitled to the running ex-
lenses of their offices, including rent,
fuel, lights and stationery. If this is
to be taken from their salaries the Of
fee of justice of the peace ceases to
lattract men of real ability

GREAT PLEA MADE
BY KEOKUK ATTORNEY
County Attorney McManus' Argument
In Hammer Case Calls Forth
Newspaper Compliment.

Fort Maison Gem City, Jan. 81:
County Attorney E. w. McManus, rep
resenting the state of Iowa which is
prosecuting Fred Hammer for the
murder of Arthur E. Hirschler made
an argument to the jury today which
was unlike anything heard for years
in the court house. The delivery was
that of real orator and the convinc-
ing qualities of the argument were
those of man with brains and per
sonelity 1t surpassed his argum snt
to the jury in the Hohl case and that
was considered very good. Many who
went to court to hear Attorney Nc
Manus tell how Fred Hammer killei
Arthur Hirschler had to content
tn amselves with standing room in the
entrance way. This afternoon Attor-
ney r. n. Johnson for the defense is
stating his case. Rob is another man
with unquestioned legal ability. He
too is being heard with interest
Originally 1t was thought that the
arguments would close by this even
ing.

FIT. MADISON, Jan. 21.--The clos
ing arguments were being made in
the case of the state versus Fred Ham
ner at the court house here yesterday.
The room contained its largest aud.
fence OF any day during the trial.
Every seat was taken, the window
seats were made use Of, the walls
We're lined and the entrance was pack
ed. Many climbed the stairs to the
room, and finding themselves unable
to see the court officials enclosure,
either left or remained in the outer
hall to listen to the remarks of the at
torneys. Inside the rail were seated
Clara Hfrschler, the striking young
widow of the deceased man, with her
father and brothers-in-law. Next to
them, and just at the rear of the de
sendant, were Mrs. Fred Hammer and
daughter. A serious and strained
calm pervaded the room. The closing
remarks progressed rapidly. Occas
ionally they were objected to by the
opposing attorney, but there was no
loud argument and the objections
were quietly and quickly disposed of
At least twenty of the principal wit
nesses OF the case had remained in
the city and were present at the clos
ing.

LIQUOR QUESTION
NATIONAL ISSUE
No Longer Matter to be Solved by
Local or state Option Says
the Temperance
lecturer.
VOTERS RESPONSIBLE
VOTERS RESPONSIBLE
Plan to Secure Constitutional Amend.
ment Which VIII Prohibit
Traffic in
Alcohol.

That the liquor question is no long
er matter to be taken up by town
ships, counties or states, but is ma
tional issue, and one that can be
solved only by the repeal Of the in
ternal revenue law, was the state
ment made by N. s. Earomore in a
temperance lecture at the Trinity M.
E. church last night. Mr.. Laromore
attacked the liquor question from a
new angle when he made the state
ment that he had no fight with the
saloon men, but that the voters them
selves were directly responsible for
the liquor traffic and the evils that
grew out of 1t.
The speaker reviewed the liquor
question from the time of the passing
of the internal revenue law in 1862,
when the measure was passed as a
war measure only and for the purpose
of preventing the treasury from be-
coming bankrupt. The law was not
repealed at the close Of the war as
other war measures were.
Mr. Laromore attacked one Of the
strongest arguments advanced by sa-
loon forces when he made the state
ment that distilleries and saloons
paid annually $236,000,O0O in taxes to
the government, and then shot the
question, who pays this taxi" 1T is
not the distillers nor the saloon men, y
said the speaker. They simply add
enough to the price Of their. goods to
make up this amount 1t is the drink.
er. and his wife and his babies, that
pay $236, 100000 annually to the gov.

The speaker explained the plan

have agreed upon for making prohibi
ton national II Is the plan to Sc.
cure an amendment to the constitu
ton which will prohibit the sale, the
manufacture for sale, the importation
for sale. and the transportation FOL
sale, of alcohol. "Seventy-Ave pei
cent Of the voters are In favor Of ma
tionM prohibition" said the speaker
But because Of the fact that part Of
them are republicans and part o,
them democrats, and part OF then
something else, they never get united
on this one question:
We propose to demand. during the
next political campaign, that ever,
party make national prohibition one
Of the first planks In their platform
and that every candidate pledge him
self to support It,"

Though Mrs Schultz would make no

ed that the Sharon man lad been pre-
vailed upon to enter plot to defraud
the widow of the life insurance. The
suit was to have been heard in court
here this month. If the man working
in print shop in Sharon and report
ed about to marry, is Schultz, attor-
neys declared their belief that no
charge of conspiracy could be entered
against the widow and her absent
husband because they think the hus-
band had deserted his wife with no
intention ever to return to her and
that she was honest in her suit for

The morning session began at $3.50,
with the commencement of the clos
ing address of County Attorney Nc
Manus who occupied the remainder
of the morning session, closing at
11:30. His remarks were in many
ways similar to those made in the
Hohl case. He dwelt at length upon
the responsibility which rested on
every member OF the court in hand
ling the case, upon the fact that the
states side Of the case should not be
taken as prepared under prejudice to
Hammer but as prejudicial to crime
He pictured the story of the event at
Franklin as intended that the evil

show.
