London. Sept 1l.--At meeting OF
the importers committee, 1t was de-
cided to hold the next series of wool
auctions ON October 6, instead of the

biity Of holding the sales during the
present period of financial and politl-
cal uncertainty, and Bradford mer-
chants are said to be back of the ac-
ton of the importers committee, in

CONSPIRACY CHARGED
Davenport Man Under Indictment
In Mahaska County.

Nick Coin, of Davenport, president
of the Davenport Ice Cream Company
was served with warrant yesterday
Oy Sheriff l. NJ. Reed, of this county,
| N which he is charged with the crime
of conspiracy to defraud. Coin was
one of the three men indicted by the
grand jury at the December term of
court last week. He gave bond in the
sum of $500 and will not be required
to come here until the day of his trial
in district court.
Coin is accused of the indictment
of conspiring with others to cheat and
defraud the Oskaloosa Creamery Com
pany. The witnesses who appeared
against him before the grand jury
were G. NJ. Reisman, president, and
| J. C. Reisman, general manager, both
of the local creamery company. They
testified that upon August first of this
year Coin ordered from them Is tubs
of butter and again on August 7th or
dered another consignment of Is tubs.
They said that they later discovered,
through local bank, that Coin or the
Ice Cream Company was bankrupt,
and refused to ship any more goods.
All subsequent efforts to collect the
bill, SO they stated, had been futile.
The bill amounts to $517.84. Both wit
nesses further testified that they had
learned of other cases in which Coin
had ordered merchandise and then re-
fused to pay for it. ,. ~. ..s
All three of the men indicted by the
grand jury are now either in custody
or under bond. Elysa Scales, cOlored,
indicted for breaking and entering, is
in the city jail here, while Alonzo
Brooks, also coiored, who is charged
with assault with intent to commit
murder, is serving a five-year term
in the penitentiary on similar
charge ,.E G.. ..-.-.-.,-

THE CASE IN QUESTION
Miss Brown Tells of Social Service
Leagues Action.

So many inquiries have come to
the Social Service Office regarding a
certain case which has recently been
the subject of so much conversation
IN the city, that we have decided to
explain to those interested parties
through the press, especially as some
have so desired. Here is a history
of the case: ........,
On Nov "a, Miss Hoffman, princip-
al of the Second ward school, pho1ed
that there was a family near the
school which was in need. She could
not state what was lacking II the
way of necessities, neither could she
give the name of address. A visit
was promised as soon as the time for
closing the office should arrive-this
being eleven a. m. During the course
of an hour, however, Miss Hoffman
'phoned again that she had sent a
teacher to learn a little more about
the family. The teacher reported
that the needs had been supplied and
we were advised that a visit was not
II
necessary. II was not known at tlis
time who had given aid but the in
formation was that 1t had come from
relatives. With this knowledge, the
matter was dropped until so much
Feeling was aroused. Inquiry by the
secretary showed that the family
was being properly provided for by
the Elks, and in accordance with the
principles of social service 1t was
not our province or even our privil-
eye to take hand in the case. II
has been falsely and unjustly stated
BY some that tle visitor refused aid
to this family and left only her card
wher she did call. This is absolute
ly untrue: no call was made until
the following Saturday, Nov. 20. a1d
BEING told by the man of the house
that they were no longer in need a
card was left with the instructions
to call the office If we could help.
We do not claim any credit In help
ing the family--they were assisted
lby the Elks before their names were
Reported to us. Had we been called
upon. we could have supplied all the
M eds except food and fuel without
expense to anyone.

Mrs. Anna Gossage, wife of Thomas
B. Gossage died suddenly at her home

but a few moments before and had
talked to her about some food for
! which she had expressed wish. He
went to prepare the milk, returning

lpeared to be sleeping. He busted him

I Anna Sterling was daughter of
George and Martha Sterling, well
known pioneer residents of Oskaloo-
sa. They came to Mahaska county
/ from Missouri about the time Of the
civil war and reared their family here.
She was married to Thomas B. Cos.
sage in Oskaloosa about thirty-fve
years ago She is survived by the hus-
band, son Ralph of New York City
and daughter Mrs. Ivy Flower of
North Platte, Nebraska. kilograms
to the children brought reply that
they would start for Oskaloosa by first
train available. Mrs. Flower will ar
rive this Monday evening and the son
Ralph will be here Wednesday. While
funeral arrangements have not been
completed it is probable that services
will be held Thursday afternoon. An.
nouncement later. Beside the mem
bers of the immediate family the de-
ceased leaves two brothers, Orlando
of Phoenix Arizona and Walter of Cal
| ifornia. The father passed away only
short while ago. -. t.t.... ...t-.
Deceased was a member of the
United Presbyterian church and was
likeable and good woman. She
was talented and accomplished and
lin the days of her girlhood was fav-
orite and a leader in a social way.
Under the tuition of this capable
mother, the son Ralph acquired an or.
atorical ability that placed him in
front ranks of collegiate competition
and won for him interstate honors.
| She was devoted to her home but
! found time for the doing of good
deeds and her ear was ever alert for
the cry of the distressed or sorrow
ling. While many knew of her Illness
none dreamed that the grim reaper
was so near and her death comes as
a shock alike to family members, as
sociates and friends. The bereaved
ones have the sympathy of the COM
munity.

expectedly Saturday evening, Decem-
Der IL, 1914, about seven o'clock as

He had been practically helpless and

teeted with wraps against. the cold
and storm that prevailed at the time.

peared anxious and glad to get to
town once more. Mr. Cleveland drove
while the deputy sat beside the sick
man supporting him and holding him
in the seat. When a little west of town
MI. Cleveland inquired how the pat
lent was doing, Mr.. Crowder remark.
cd that he was all right but seemed
TO be leaning a little heavy against
him. In few moments Mr.. Crowder
became convinced that something was
wrong and upon investigation found
his charge to be unconscious or dead,
mr. Cleveland drove to the Court
house and here Il was ascertained
that Mr.. Miller had been dead some
time as rigor mortis was we'll adyanc-
ed. Death had probably occurred soon
