New York, July 9.-The bondholders
of the Mail and Express company took
possession of the Evening Mail to-
day and we will see to it that the
true Americanism for which we stand
will be reflected in the columns of
the paper" said Henry L. Stoddard,
president of the company, in state
ment to the public.
Mr.. Stoddard said that he had
known for two weeks the government
was searching the sources of the funds
but he was astounded to hear the
money was obtained in the manner
charged.
Just before this country entered
the war, l insisted to Dr. Rumely that
the course of the paper should be I'M

sively patriotic and loyal" said Mr..
Stoddard.
RumeIy Held Responsible.
II told him unless this were done
the bonds would be foreclased at thier
maturity on October 1, 1917. From
that day to this, as the government
states, the paper has been strongly
and helpfully for the war and for the
principles for which we are fighting.
Time and again when / asked Mr.
Rumely where his money came FROM
in view of the rumors abroad, he gave
me his word of honor every dollar of
it came from American citizens of
German parentage. He insisted that
up to the time of our catering the war

Council Bluffs, July 9.-Develop.
ments the past few days following the
actions of county councils of defense
in rc-examining men who claimed
war exemptions and of men whose
classification required changing, have
amazed officials, some of the most
extraordinary excuses being offered
for wishing to avoid being sent to
war.
In Montgomery county twenty-five
men registered claimed exemption
from military duty on account of be
ing aliens. Eleven, when called be
fore the council of defense withdrew
their claims. OF the others one gave
his reason that he served in the
Swedish army, is now earning SIS per
month on a farm and thinks the
American boys should protect him and
let him continue amassing wealth.
Another said he didn't believe in
fighting and wouldn't fight to protect
his own mother and sisters. He
thinks the United States army should
protect him and them Another is
afraid he'll get hurt; another came
here to make money, has money saved
and in the bank but he does not want
to fight to protect the nation.

It is probable that the ruling per,

so many deferred classifications on &C

Owing to the reclassification OF

War Work Neglected.

In Page county a committee Of five
farmers made canvass of the coun-
ty to ascertain the truth of stories
that farmers were slackers. In three
instances they found farmers leisure
ly eating their breakfast at IL CLOCK
in the forenoon and no work done on
the farm, except that the women had
just finished milking. One farmer
has rented all his farm but thirty Rive
acres and he had just finished plant
ing when his neighbors had laid by
their corn. He is said to be an
Ames graduate. All are young men.
In Taylor county the defense coun-
Gil held an interesting session with
Federal Agent Yackey, of Harlan, as
pilot. Ten alleged slackers We're
brought into court, and in most in
stances they promised to come across
and make good in their war work.
One man frem Blockton who had the
reputation of being a real bad man,
and who had made numerous threats
about what he would do, was one of
the tamest in the bunch at the finish.
One man refused to be good and will
probably be taken to a higher court.

The los additional men called from

during 1.-The five-day period beginning
July ~, will all be sent to Camp Pike,
Arkansas. They will form part of the
1887 men to be sent to that camp
from Iowa on the above dates. At the
same time 6,4S0 other men will be
sent to Camp Gordon, Georgia, and on
July 20, an additional 1896 men will
be sent to Camp Forest, making a

furnished all the men called for in
the third draft, which was figured as
of June /, and aggregated 24,O65 men.
sent under various other calls, the
largest being the one for 5000 men
going to Camp Dodge on June %.
1t is estimated by Adjutant General
Logan that there will still be about
1000 men left in class in Iowa after
the 1907 men have gone to their
respective camps on July %. This
will be more than enough to fill the
call for 1896 men who go to Camp
Forrest, Georgia, during the three,day
period beginning July 90.
The total number of men that will
have been furnished by Iowa under
specific calls during the month of July
is 22965. This is the largest number
yet furnished during any one month.
1T is probable that the calls during
August will exceed those during July"
said General Logan. THE total mum.
Der of men called for throughout the
entire country for July was 100000,
while the call for August is 100000
AS to what Iowa's quota for the month
Of August will be we cannot now tell
but it is safe to say it will not be
less than it was in July"
Class One Men Left.
1t is probable, however. according
to the adjutant general, that there
will be a sufficient number of class /
men to fill the ca without having to
encroach upon class 2. In the opinion
OF General Logan the Reconsideration
now going on in addition to the regis
trants of JOne 5, placed in class /,
will result in a sufficient number Of
class I men to meet the August re.
quiroments.
AS to just how many of the 1900
Iowans who registered on June 5 will
classify as class linen, it is imposs-
iblC to say at this time. The first esti
mato was around 1000. Some sur
prising things are developing in con-
nectiOn with the classification of these
men, however For instance, one of the
local boards of Des Moines reports
that IL finds so per cent of its June >,
registrants married, which would
hardly be expected in view of the fact
that none of them are over Fl years
of age.

occurred will never be known, for
there was only one witness OF the
scene and he was stationed at the far
end Of the bridge. From the wreck

thought that the car had almost cross

the rear OF the car was completely
crushed while the front wheels were
uninjured. The car was hurled a con-
siderable distance and was caught on
the iron railing OF the bridge which
prevented it from going into the creek
The engineer brought the train to
a stop as quickly as possible and the
body was carried in the station there
and relatives were notified. It was
taken IN charge by Undertaken Mus

taken to the family residence on Fair

The accident occurred shortly after
