WATERLOO MAN CONVICTED OF
GIVING FALSE EVIDENCE
IN COURT.
TESTIFIED AoAlNsT GAR
LINE IN DAMAGE SUIT
Gave Testimony il Behalf Of PIain-
ttff In Action For Damages Asainst
Waterloo, Cedar Falls 4 Northern
May b Sentenced to Term Of Ten
Years in State Prison.

Waterloo. May 29.-The jury in the j.
w. Alderman prejury case reported q
verdict of guilty late yesterday after
noon. Defendant is given thirty days
in which to file motion for new trial.
Alderman was accused Of testifying
falsely in regard to a fatal accident on
the street car line and in aiding rela-
tives to collect damages for the death
of a boy.
At 1905 Judge Boies finished read
ing his instructions to the Jury in the
case.
The Instructions were brief, but
clear. After setting out the Indictment,
to all of whose allegations the defend
ant pleads not guilty, the court stated
that, In the event Of conviction. the
Jurors must find the following five
propositions are true:
First - That an action was heard
before Judge Mullan last September,
entitled Charles Scribner, minor, by
his next friend, VS.. the W., c. f. & N.
railway.
Second-That on Sept. % last de-
PENDANT was called as a witness and
was duly sworn.
Third-After being sworn, that Ac-
herman testified as stated in the In
dictment.
Fourth-That defendants testimony
in the Scribner case was material and
pertinent.
Fifth-That the testimony thus given
was untrue, given knowingly, wilfully,
Intentionally and corruptly.
Regarding Ackerman's conversations
with Goodman in room at the Met
ropole hotel Nov. and 3. last and
court instructed that defendant could
not be punished for any evil thought he
harbored or expressed at those times.
The court said that II the evidence
convinces the jurors Of Ackerman's
guilt of perjury, beyond reasonable
doubt, they should convict, even tho
such conviction might have an effect
on the Scribner case. you are not
here to decide the Scribner case" adj
vised the court, "but to determine
whether this defendant is guilty or in
nocent of the chage made in the indict-
ment."
Alderman may be sentenced to serve
maximum Of ten years in the re-
formatory.

Iowa City. .c
A sensational development Of the
failure Of the Iowa University track
team to score better than a bad third
at Des Moines, came Wednesday when
Phof. Stephen II. Bush, former Har-
ward athlete, now member of the
University board in control Of athletics
attacked the team in an open letter.
He alleges that Iowa has had no great
track athlete IN years who has not
dissipated ,and who has been eligible
always. He stingingly arraigns the
| stroller parlor athlete, loafer and
dissipating ineligibles,'' whose presence
on track teams spells defeat and
| shame" feg
New Sharon.
The county road engineers are start
ing an important improvement on the
New Sharon Oskaloosa road, in the
Strengthening Of the channel Of Middle
Creek, preparatory to the building of a
new concrete bridge at that point. The
creek makes a large horse shoe bend
just as it crosses the road, and this
has been largely responsible for the
excessive overflow in rainy seasons. The
| Strengthened channel will give a more
direct flow to the stream. Tho dirt
from the excavation is being used in
grading the road at that point. When
! the bridge is completed it will take the
place Of the last wooden structure on
the road.

Lo.e. Brother In War.

Newton, May 29.-F. H. Ryder, a
machinist at the Maytag Co. plant, re-
ceived letter from his mother In
Hyde, Manchester, England, enclosing
a newspaper clipping telling of the
death of half brother and the wound
ing OF brother.
The half brother was Fred Moore,
who went out with the First Cheshire
regiment in the expeditionary force. He
was killed near Ypres in Belgium.
A strange .coincident is that Mr..
Ryder's full brother, Harry Ryder.
went out with the First Canadian con-
tingent and was at about the same To-
cality when he was wounded.

Atlantic, May 29.-De Roo Weber,
general manager of the Atlantic South
ern railroad, is here from ST. Louis
with prospective buyer of the steel
in the local road, with a view of selling
the track and tearing it up The road
ceased operations Jan. !, 1915. after
Abeles and Taussig, by whom Mr..
Weber is employed, had operated it
for eighteen months and had found
1t a losing game. The Abeles &
Taussig company. the owners of the
road, purchased 1t originally at re-
SEWERS sale to protect claim they
had against it for ties sold it at the
time Of original construction. There
have been rumors of various move
ments made to rejuvenate the road
and operate it and some of the people
along the line brought action with
view Of having the railroad commits
sion of the state force the owners to
operate it, but nothing has come OF
any of these propositions and unless
something develops in the very near
future the track will be torn up and
the road will be thing Of memory
only.
Right Of Way Reverts to Owners.
In the event that this is done the
right Of way, which was bought out
right by the company, remains its
property while that portion of the right
of way which was taken by condem-
nation proceedings reverts to the land
owners. The road, which runs from
Atlantic to Villisca, a distance OF APP
proximately thirty eight miles, was
originally part Of the Atlantic North
ern and Southern, being the southern
extension Of that line, and both the
southern extension and the north end,
which is seventeen miles long and runs
from Atlantic to Kimballton, were
financed largely by popular subscrip-
ton and by tax aid, enough money
being raised by these methods to in
sure the construction Of the road. The
first seventeen miles of the north end
of the road was completed Jan. !,
1908, and the9 southern extension was
promoted ands built in 1910 and COM
pleted on the first of January, 1911.
The road went into the hands OF
receiver in 1911 and was sold In 1912
after many months Of litigation and
efforts to raise the money to buy 1t
by the Shaw syndicate, which COM
pany was the highest bidder Tor 1t on
several occasions.
