Mason City, Jan. 27.-"You know
that l did not threaten you when you
gave me that mortgage" were the
words used by William Colby, the
promoter, as he passed Mrs. Marie
WEIGH, as he left the court room. For
hours able attorneys argued for a jury
trial of the case instead of a case In
equity. With over a quarter of a mil
lion of dollars in this hearing every
inch of the way is being fought. Judge
Clark is deeply interested in the legal
phases involved, and they are so IN
tricate and so perplexing, that 1t seems
( probable that it will go to the supreme
court.
Notes to the amount of $4,000 were
secured from Mrs. Marie WEIGH. largely
by William Colby, and when the time
came for payment he secured mort
, gage from her and her son John. Bet
tween the Issuing of notes and the
mortgage William Welch asked that he
/ be appointed administrator on the
grounds of his mother not being men
tally able to look after the business.
Judge Clark granted this According
to the statement of the attorneys for
Mrs. WEIGH they will endeavor to prove
that q conspiracy existed and that I'M
der threat that Mrs. WEIGH would be
sent to the insane asylum she signed
the mortgage, which conveyed her large
possessions to the holders OF her
notes. largely bankers of this state and
| Of Minnesota Her attorneys are US
| ing every effort to get this case be-
fore jury. and while Judge Clark
has not made it matter of record
he is inclined. according to his state
ment, to hold that it properly is a case
at equity. A large number of attor-
| neys are present listening to the. case
and of course bankers being largely in
terested are present in numbers.
Several Of those whose fortunes have
| been wrecked are attentive listeners
at the trial Evidence in the case will
! begin today.

IOWA LAWYER-PoLlTiciAN Al.
MOST CERTAIN OF FEDERAL
JuDosHIP.
NOW ENRoUTE HOME
ASSURED OF APPOINTMENT
Iowa City Friends Declare Wade Con-
siders Place az Stepping Stone to
Supreme seneh-WiiI Give Up
Lucrative Praetice-Meredith Hopes
to Succeed to Place on Committee.

Iowa City, Jan. PA special from
Washington, D. c., says that Judge
Martin j. Wade, national committee
man from Iowa, left there for his home
after being assured that he would be
appointed for judge Of the southern
Judge Smith Mcpherson. His APP
pointment is to be announced soon.
It is reported in connection with this
fact that Judge Wades aspiration COR
the United States district judgeship
! is because 1t is a stepping stone to the
! supreme bench Of the United States.
The fact that Judge Wade received
perhaps the highest fees for his ser
vices given to any attorney in Iowa
and the further fact that his annual
income is rated as high as four times
| the salary of a federal Judge. has
caused his friends here to recall state
ments that seemed to indicate desire
some day to serve as a supreme jus
tice.
For years Judge Wade has been
ranked as one of the national leaders
of the democratic party, has directed
western headquarters, has operated the
labor bureau in national struggles and
has served on the stump as one of the
leading proponents of democratic Cos
pei! Some weeks ago there emanated
from Washington the statement that
! the Judge was being considered as
chairman Of the national committee.
The possibility that he would direct
the next national campaign was dis
cussed.
Judge Wade's trip to Washington
last week resulted in a conference
with Congressman Vollmer. who pre-
vious to the announcement of Judge
Wade's candidacy had been inclined
to support Judge Theophilus. A con-
ference also was held with the attor-
ney general and this was followed by
the report that the president would ap-
point the Iowa committeeman.
Judge Wade's accession to that of
flee will for a time disrupt the organ
ization of the national democratic
committee. Iowa democrats must next
turn their attention to a successor to
| Wade. In this connection G. r. Whit
mer is receiving prominent and hon
orable mention.

DRUG TRAFFIC INQUIRY
Confessions of Muscatine Boy May
Lead to Statewide Investigation
Youths Story Reveals Startling Con-
ditions in Muscatin- and in Other
Iowa Cities.
,ial to Times-Republican.

! Special to Times Republican.
Muscatine, Jan. IA statewide in
vestigation will likely result from the
revelations which have marked the
drug traffic expose in Muscatine. A
hearing in the juvenile court which
eliminated in the commitment OF
Verne Eeyes, aged II, to the reforma-
tory at Eldora, brought out some
startling revelations as to the raw
ages of the evil. That scores of boys
of tender age in Muscatine resort to
/, the use of cocaine and that they will
steal or plumber to secure funds to
purchase the drug was the testim ony
offered. Harold Kuechmann, the 16-
yearold son of a local druggist, con-
fessed to the theft of cocaine in large
quantities from the drug store con-
Quoted by his father and of the sale
to Beyers and other juvenile users.
Kuechmann further testified that the
dope fiend need have no trouble in pro-
curing the SNOW" as it was peddled
| freely. That local professional men
carry on lucrative business thru the
sale of cocaine was his declaration and
the statement that representatives of
drug houses who specialize in habit
forming drugs were frequent visitors
in Muscatine and other Iowa towns
proved a revelation to even the local
police.
The Muscatine druggists actuated by
desire to protect innocent persons
/ from using drugs and to keep the US
ers from continued indulgence are now
drafting a measure which they hope
to secure as law The stiffest re-
strictions are favored The state
pharmaceutical society is also back
ing the reform.

Des Moines. Jan. 27.-It is figured out
by those who know that the increase Of
passenger fares in Iowa from cents a

The income of the railroads from

$20.OO0.000 annually. The 2-cent fare
has been in effect now six or eight
years and has not materially changed

source.

 VERY ENCOURAGING

By HOLLAND

New York. February 9.-(Special)-On Friday of last week the third annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce has been barely opportunity since then to obtain from some of those who took part in the convention some idea of the effect upon this great representative body or the discussions and addresses made at the meeting. Very likely the more val uable or immediately valuable influences created at this meeting were those which flowed from informal and personal con- versation between members of the con- vention. One thing is reported here with emphasis, and that is that the organiza- tion has now justified the purpose which led to it's establishment. It is now recog- nized as one of the great influences of lie opinion through agitation, discussion and wide publicity.
 The meeting of this organization almost immediately followed the important gathering at St. Louis of representative American business men who have united for the purpose of securing ara facli- tating great foreign trade for the United States. That meeting at St. Louis has stimulated discussion which, accord ing to reports received here, is now in progress throughout the United States From one point of view the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States at Washington supplemented the St. Louis gathering, for at Washington
