Stricken Man Apparently Suffering
From Dslerium Trsmsns.

Cedar Rapids, Nov. lit killed a
man in Chicago about three weeks ago.
My conscience hurts me. can not
stand it, and want to give myself up
and take my punishment" said a
stranger to Officer Kvapil at o'clock
Wednesday afternoon. He was taken
to the island, where he told his story
to Assistant Chief of Police Cleary,
giving the name of John Burke. He
was placed in a cell to await word from
the Chicago police. At 9 o'clock he
became violent and when physician
was called, he announced the man to
be suffering from severe attack of
delirium tremens. The question in the
minds of the police is, whether or not
the man is the victim of an halluci-
nation or whether he really is guilty
of the crime he claims to be his.
With Three Companions.
Burke, who is man about % years
of age, appeared to be perfectly sober
when he told his story to the officers,
and did not develop the symptoms of
the disease until several hours had
elapsed.
He claims that he and three COM
panions planned to kill and rob a man
about three weeks ago, and did per-
form the crime, killing the man at the
door of his own home 1t will be three
weeks Saturday evening when Frank
lin Voorhees,, a Chicago broker, was
robbed and murdered at the door of
his own home about GAS o'clock in
the evening. and Burke's story agrees
in many points with the known facts
in regard to the death of Voorhees,.
According to his story, Burke, with
William MARI, 3d. Frank McGurdy,
80; and William Gilbert, so. laid plans
for the hold-up and Burke was picked
to do the shooting. McGurdy followed
the victim to the doorway of his home,
where Burke was standing. When the
man passed Burke, McGurdy gave
the signal to shoot and Burke did so.
The man fell back down the stairs and
the men went thru his pockets. Burke
says he threw the gun on the steps
of the house.
Has Prison Record.
Burke claims to be resident of
Kings Highway, N. Y. and says he
served twenty-five months in the
New York state prison and thirty days
in the workhouse in Chicago. He says
he does not know the whereabouts
of his companions at the present time.

Henderson Says Railroads Failed to
Show Added .svs."s =MeaeA

Des Moines, Nov. 11.-Dispatches
from Washington yesterday announced
that the interstate commerce commits
sion had denied the application of the
railroads for rehearing in the vest
ern freight rate cases.
Judge j. III. Henderson, commerce
counsel for the state, when apprised
of the action of the commission, said
it had been expected.
He said that the next move the
Iowa officials expect on the part OF
the railroads is the filing of an APP
plication with the Iowa railroad com :
mission for an advance of per cent
In the Iowa intrastate freight rates.
The roads are now presenting evil
dence to the Illinois public service
commission to back up a request for
a per cent advance.
No Basis For Rsopsning.
"We expected the interstate COM
merce commission to refuse. to re-
open the western rate case said
Judge Henderson. The request for a
recpening was not well based The
roads did not present one good reason
=. WHY new dTSuuSiltS sIlOulu pc ldnStA
by the commission. They did not show
any reason why they should receive
greater revenue.
The roads have told us that they
intend to apply to the state commits
sions in the western states for adj
vances in freight rates. They are all
ready at work in Illinois. They may
file with the Iowa commission soon.
When they do we will be prepared to
resist the petition"
The effect of the ruling of the in
terstate commerce commission is to
sustain the rates which were granted
by the commission at the close of the
original hearing.

THE order means that those rates

Special to Times Republican.
Ames, Nov. 11.-Iowa chrysanthe-

Six beautiful plants, entered from the
greenhouses of Iowa State College

These unusual NUNS were grown
for instruction and demonstration pur-
poses in the new plant laboratories at
the college which were dedicated only
last week. John Reardon. college flor
list, was responsible for this wonderful
development and they aroused the en-
thusiasm of the many florists who at
tended the dedication. These and
other flowers are a part of the work
that is being done by the college to
strengthen the growing of flowers and
vegetables under glass In Iowa. That
is already larger industry than most
citizens realize and some predict that
in the years to come the state will be
outstanding in production along these
lines.
In the ten years between 1903 and
1913 the total valuation of greenhouse
property in Iowa grew from 100000 to
1867 900 or more than 100 per cent. To-
| day the value approaches a million
dollars At present about $500. 600
square feet of ground area are COW
cred by glass. distributed among 165
different firms. Iowa has two of the
largest commercial greenhouses west of
Chicago and 1t can also claim leader
ship in college equipment of green
houses for the development Of the in
dustry. Florists have for some years
been asking the college to take up the
study of their problems and train
young men for this line of work and
they are enthusiastic because it has
been undertaken so fully.
