SAYS He WAS HER FATHER
WeIshwonan Claiming Part Of Estate
Of ottunwa Man Who Went Down
to Death With Lusitania Last Year
Had Wife in This Country.

Ottumwa, July l9.-The estate OF
Evan jones' the Ottumwa man who
went down with the Lusitania on May
II. 1915, is being contested in the dis
trict court by Margaret Adams, aged
SO years and living in Allatygrabans.
Pontadulais, Wales, who claims that
she is an illegitimate daughter of
Jones.
The woman says she was born at
Godre- yr-Wern Talley. Carmarthan-
shire. Wales. on June IS, 1883, and
that Jones paternity was established
during his lifetime and declared to
exist thru proceeding in the common
courts of Wales. The estate, for which
J. J. Smith, has been appointed by the
local court as administrator, consists
of about $4,000 in local bank and
some small properties. Jones, who
was going back to Wales for an ex-
tended visit and possibly permanent
residence, is supposed to have had
about $4,000 or $4,000 with him on
board the Ill fated boat.
He left here with the intention OF
taking passage from New York on the
Lusitania. Nothing was ever heard
from him after that and when word
was received here from his sister in
Wales, whom he was going to visit. 1t
was definitely established that he had
gone down when the liner sunk off
the coast of Ireland. after being at
tackled by a German submarine.
Evan Jones was coal miner dur
ing most Of his lifetime here and had
accumulated considerable property. At
one time he owned two pieces of land
near old keb. one containing eighty
acres and another 10 acres.
He married woman named Jones
and she owned thirty acres in the
same vicinity. Mrs. Jones died several
years ago and it was with their chill
dren, both in Ottumwa and Bear
Creek, that the Ottumwa man made
his home previous to his starting back
to his old home across the seas.
The local people have never filed a
claim to the estate but are said to
have been contemplating it. The sis
ter In Wales has made her affidavit
thru the courts there and it was filed
here several months ago.

NEW HAMProN AUTO RACES.
First Meeting Prevss Great Success
Bio Crowd Enjoying Program.

Z y.
Special to Times Republican.
New Hampton, July ls.-New Hamp-
tons first auto races. held yesterday

Waterloo, second; ]. Livingston, OF Ce-
dar Falls, third. The winners's time
was 1907.

The time for the five-mile race was
$40 and the purses were 5000. $175
SIS and $50. The winners were: l.
LeCocu. first; Raimey, second Parker
third; Kessler, fourth. This was a
pretty race, and a very good one, con-
sidering the fact that it was run on a
half mile dirt track, with the dust
thick.
The novelty race, in which each car
stopped at the wire at the end of the
first mile, changed a wheel. and then
raced a second mile, proved interesting
to the spectators. There were only two
entries. Raimey and Parker Raimey
won, his time being 3:15.
Raimey and Parker also raced a reg
ular two-mile race, and Raimey was
the winner in that also. Time. 1858.

the afternoon, was won by Parker with
his Dusenberg. He had a long lead
thruout the entire race, until the last
lap, when the Briscoe car came in for
a close second
The winners were Parker first: L.
LeCocu, second; Raimey, third; Kess-
ler fourth. The winners time was
1880. The purses were $500, $500, $3.50
and $50.
An amusing incident occurred in the
novelty race. between Raimey and Par
ker. Each driver had two assistants
who were stationed to change the
wheel at the end Of the first mile. Par
ker arrived at the wire first, and his
men rushed up to change his wheel.
and then discovered that they had left
the wheel twenty feet back The de-
lay caused by this error gave Raimey
the advantage and he won the race.

Des Moines, July 19.-The tremen-
dous advance in farm land and all
agricultural and live stock values in
the past ten years is brought out in a
striking way by the agricultural statis-
tics just compiled by A. U. Swan, man
ager Of the state census, and Ora Will
liams, editor of the census. The farm
land and equipment is worth more
than twice as much as it was ten years
ago. The value of farm animals ana
cent and farm and garden crops of rs
per cent.
The value of the land and buildings
per acre, as reported to the enumera-
tors Of the 1915 census, was SELLS as
against $685. ten years ago. The total
value Of farm land and the equipment
therefor is now reported at over
$4,000, 100000. The major part of this
increase has been in the value Of the
land alone.
Farm animals and poultry were val
uel at $350,621,975 in 1915, as compared
to $ls2,o0O,Oo0 in 1905. The value Of
farm and garden crops produced for
the year 1914 was $437,225,662, which is
$19O,O00,000 more than the value for
ten years before.
Fewer Farmers; Farms Larger.
In spite of the increased profits there
are fewer people operating farms now
than ten years ago and the average
size of farms has increased rather than
grown less. Reports we're secured from
1875 farmers operating that number
Of farms as against 209,163 ten years

included in farms is 32,951,056, de-
crease of 277,O00 from the previous CEN
sus. The average size of the farms re-
