companies operating in Iowa had a
hearing before the state board of rail-

GREAT RED CROSS SALE.
More Than $500 Received For Tama
Chapter as Result Of Public Auction
German Farmer Greatest Booster.

Special to Times Republican.
Tama, Nov. 5.-The Tama chapter OF
the Red Cross was most fortunate In
selecting last Saturday for Its big auc-
ton sale, the total sales amounting to
over $1,000. All of these goods were
donated by the citizens OF this COM
munity. There were calves pigs, chick
ems, ducks. geese and turkeys, corn,
oats, wheat, potatoes and garden stun
in endless variety from the generous
farmers, and merchandise from the
business men, and pies, cakes and can
ned fruit from the good housewives.
The place of honor goes to the humble
pumpkin pie which brought a total OF
S4cS5 for single pie. Second place
was given to the spring pig donated
by Carl Steuhm. the prominent German
farmer, which sold for s35. Mr.. Steuhm
was also the most liberal buyer at the
sale. While every section OF the COM
munty was literally represented In
donations the palm must be given to
Highland township, which sent In auto
loads of farm produce. One auto was
like a magiclan's hat for when the cur
tain was opened out came CALI a
couple OF pigs, n big squash and sew
eral sacks of grain.
Lunch was served turnout the day
and the little ribbons sold by the ladies
on the street brought in over $3.50. Col.
c. G. Yerkes cried the sale free OF
charge.
Since the reorganization of the
Tama chapter, recently, and the cleo
ton of f. NJ. Ingram as chairman,
much greater activity has been mani
fest. Mr.. ingram has the time to de-
vote to the work and he Is giving 1t
his undivided attention. The parlors
Of the I. O. O. f. have been opened to
the ladies of the Red Cross where they
can meet at any time Of the day to
conduct their meetings or TO do their
knitting and sewing.

The visitor became enraged at Miss
Geary's refusal Her voice rose to a
shrill pitch and she suddenly started
for the door. Then she turned and
faced Ella, who had risen, apparently
much annoyed by the others deport-
ment. From the folds Of her dress the
visitor produced a small glass and
unsuspecting girl.
Even as the agonized screams broke
from Elias scared lips, her assailant
fled into the darkened corridor and
rushed down the stairs.

the deadly acid eating steadily into tho
flesh and adding torture and dishgure-
ment with every moment. Unaware OF
the exact nature of the 1lquir, the
mother and the brother were at loss
for an antidote. The telephone failed
to bring prompt response from physl-
clans, of whom dozen were appealed
to in vain. One doctor agreed to come
within half an hour. To young Geary $
desperate plea, he returned brief IN
structions regarding first aid treatment.
For nearly an hour the trio waited
for a doctor. Finally Geary proposed
taking Ella to the police station, two
blocks away. The girl struggled to her
feet and supported by her mother and
brother, managed to walk to the sta
ton, where a physician was secured.
Then she was taken to a hospital where
long treatment finally restored sight to
one eye.
James Geary later found in the hall
way the glass that had contained the
acid and from it the nature Of the
LIQUID was discovered. The glass re-
sembled an ordinary mustard jar
Ella Geary was 81 at the time of the
attack. She had been stenographer
for a sash and door concern and be-
cause Of her beauty had attracted con-
siderable attention. For two years the
police apparently did little. but James
Geary persisted in his investigation OF
the attack and finally Carrie Hagerty,
Of this city. was arrested and indicted
upon a charge Of assault with intent
to maim," a crime involving q penalty
Of five years imprisonment.

EASTERN CHILD ASSOCIATION
FIGHTS FOR POSSESSION OF
IOWA BOY.
ACTION TO COME TO
TRIAL IN FEW DAYS
Adopted Child Alleged to Have Been
Forced on Father as His Own-So-
eiety Seeks Control on Grounds That
8.Year. Is Not in Custody Of
Proper Persons.

I Ottumwa, Nov 5.-The case of the
New York Child Aid Association vs..
Cora Davis and others, is scheduled
for a hearing before District Judge d.
NJ. Anderson this week.
This action which involves the GUS
tody of s-year-old Peter Morgan, first
came into the local court last spring
thru a petition filed by the New York
society asking for a habeas corpus writ
to gain control of the Morgan child.
Full of Thrills.
The officers Of the society asserte, !.
that Jan. IL, 1912. they placed the boy
with a woman who represented herself
to be Mrs. George Bernhammer, OF
Swan, Iowa. "A series Of lurid facts
involving the alleged misrepresenta-
ton by Mrs. Bernhammer to her hus-
band that the boy was his child and
the shifting Of the parties in the case
thru a series Of alleged escapades Of
night life in cafes and disreputable
houses are then set out to substantiate
the society's claim that Mrs. Bernham-
mer is not fit person to have contro.
of the boy.
Society Wants Control.
Mrs. Cora Davis. who is named as
the proprietor of an East Main street
house in this city, is the sister Of Mrs.
Bernhammer, and 1t is alleged that
while the child is being held at her
house, the detention is illegal.
The society claims that it has good
home for the child in New York and is
anxious to get control Of the boy again
so that he may be placed there.
Miss Eleanor Hubbard. one Of the
society's workers, was In Ottumwa July
S for a hearing Of the case, but on &C
count Of court recess and other mat
tiers the action was not settled at that
time.
