OATH FOR SECOND TERM
Washington, March 5.-Flanked by
thousands upon thousands of his
cOuntrymen, President Wilson was
INDICTED into his second term today.
The spirit of the time harked back
to the days of Lincoln. The thrill
and solemnity of war was stamped
upon the simple, democratic cere-
mOny, though a strain Of peace ran
through the proceedings too.
It was just 12:47 o'clock when Will
sin kissed the bible, completing the
oath which he had taken twice with
in two days.
Standing with barred head, he &C
cepted the solemn, serious gift of a
nation still at peace, but touched on
all sides by the flames of war.

Special to Times Republican.
Webster City, Jan. 17.-The Hamii-
ton County Bar Association is opposed
to any raise in the salaries of Judges
of the district court. Not only that,
1T is also opposed to the proposed
plan to add another judge in this (the
Eleventh) judicial district and 1t has
gone on record as favoring the adop-
ton of the county judge system to re-
lieve the work ofsthe district court.
The action of The Hamilton county
bar. In this matter Is doubly significant
because 1T was taken in large
part at the instance of Judge Kamrsr,
Of this city, who served on the bench
in this district. The resolutions
adopted here will be forwarded to
Representative RUDE McFerren, who
represents Hamilton county in the
legislature. and to Senator Chase. who
represents Hamilton, Hardin and
Wright counties In the state senate.
Resolutions Unanimously Approved.
The resolutions. of the Hamilton
County Bar Association were adopted
at meeting held In the office of Hon.
Wesley Martin. president Of the as
ISOLATION. They We're presented by
Judge Kamrar. following general dis
cussion. It Is understood that other
resolutions had been prepared favor
ing the addition of another Judge in
this district and also favoring raising
the salaries Of Judges from $500 to
$4,000 spsfssyeaE These latter resolu-
tions had bsen brought to the meeting,
but were not even presented and Judge
Kamrars resolutions were adopted
unanimously.
Judge Kamrar Is outspoken In HE
district judges. He and other leading
members OF the bar here feel that, this
is no time to be increasing the bur-
dens Of the taxpayers and that the
raise would in nowise make a more
efficient judiciary.
Favor County Judge System.
Hamilton county is the only county
in the Eleventh judicial district, COM

thus far opposed the adding Of
fourth Judge here. Hamilton county
attorneys, however, feel that county

would facilitate the whole judicial sys-
tenn and relieve the clogged wheels OF

Is suggested that the county Judge be
paid $500 per year. In this way, too.
men would be developed for the dis
trict bench. This system is In use in
Illinois ana many other states and
Hamilton county attorneys feel that
it would be a big stride forward for
Iowa. The action OF the bar here,
however. will be a big disappointment
to the district judges Of Iowa who are
maintaining lobby In Des Moines for
an increase in salary.

Now Reversed by Supreme Court.

Council Bluffs, Jan. II. - Pottawat-
TAME county's celebrated Ann Bybee
will case" which has been in the
courts since 1911 has been settled In
the supreme court by reversal Of the
verdict of the district that gave title
in the little farm of decedent to rela-
tives located in Nova Scotia by Attor-
ney f. w. Miller.
The Ann Bybee Will case has become
almost cause celebre on account OF
the manifold features that attended
the attempt of the Crescent widow to
devise her eighty-acre farm to the
county for the benefit OF the county's
poor.
Mrs. Bybee. who lived alone on her
farm, died without leaving a will, but
she did leave a "testamentary deed"
effective after her death, devising the
property as above mentioned with the
single condition that the county pay
the expense of her funeral and a mod
est gravestone.
Upon her death certain step children
named Ransom brought an action
against the county to quiet title in the
land on the grounds that the deed was
not in fact will tho documentary
in effect. The case was tried and the
Ransoms won and the supreme court
affirmed the lower courts decision
Later Attorney Miller located sis
ter, nephews and nleces of the de-
cedent, residing in Nova Scotia. and
they began an action to set aside the
action of the caurta on the grounds
that the step-children can not legally
become heirs. so long as there are blood
relatives. Mrs. Bybee is said to have
been estranged from her relatives for
many years.
The former opponents the county
and the RansoIfls, then Joined forces
and the suit was tried b2fore Judge
E. B. Woodruff about 1913 resulting
in directed verdict in favor Of the
Sigler heirs. This decision. it is that
isrreversed by the supreme court on
the; question of probating the tesla
mentary deed as will.
Attorneys in the case will not know
the ground of the reversal until copies
of the supreme court opinion are re-
ceived.
