Two Cases Which Call for laterven

Steve Dunn, who owns and drives an
express wagon, was yesterday taken to the
state hospital for dipsomaniacs at Mt.
Pleasant on a committment Issued by Judge
Green of the district court last December,
but which had been suspended on Dunn
promising to abstain from liquor. . The au
thorities learned that Dunn had . relapsed
Into his former habits and Investigation
showed that his six motherless children
were in a truly pitiable condition.
. Since the death of his wife Dunn and Ms
six children, the eldest a boy aged 18, who
has suffered the loss of one arm, have been
occupying a ne-room shanty In the rear
of lot on East Broadway. This single
room was divided by a piece of old carpet,
and when the officers visited the place yes
terday morning they found one division of
the apartment utilised- as a stable for
Dunn's, team, while the father and six
children occupied the other.
George Miller, overseer of the poor, made
arrangements to temporarily provide for
the child-en, but If their relatives do not
offer to care for them they will be turned
oves to aome society. - .
Another case of motherless and neglected
children was brought to light through the
investigation of Rev. Henry DeLong, who
yesterday applied to Judge Scott of the
superior court to have the five children of
Thomas Fletcher turned over to the Iowa
Children's Horn society.
Fletcher Is a laborer and since his wife
died,' about a year ago, the family has been
cared for by a daughter, Mrs. Mabel
Wright, whose husband, after a forced
marriage, deserted her and her baby. When
Rev. Mr.- DeLiong and an agent of the
Iowa Children's Home society visited the
Fletcher home they found the children in
a truly pitiable condition. There was no
fire in the house and but little food to eat.
Fletcher, while a hard working man, is
said to dissipate his wages in drink. . A
horse belonging' to the family was found
stabled In ona of the rear rooms.
The children sought to be turned over to
the care of the society are: Oeorge, aged
13 ; Guy, aged 11; Herbert; aged 10; Reuben,
aged 7; Blanche, aged I. Fletcher pleaded
that hta children be not taken from him
"nd Promised the court he would endeavor
to do better by them rn the future. Judge
Scott issued an order turning over the
children to the Iowa Children's Horn so
ciety, but suspended it for thirty days to
see if the father would take better care of
the family.

ment be set aside, alleging among other

criminations
The pardons committee and other' com-
rhlttees have also decided upon a number
of public hearings. The Insurance com

ELDER RESIGNSHIS CHARGE
Action the Oatgrowth of Controversy
' with Local Pnstor In His
District.
ATLANTIC. Ia., Feb. S.-(Special Tele
gramsRev. W. O. Allen, for the past few
years presiding elder of the Atlantic con
ference of the Methodist Episcopal church
has tendered to the bishop his resignation
of the 'position and his withdrawal from
the church. For some time past there has
been, a strong feeling between Elder Allen
and Rev, George M. Hughes, pastor of the
local church, and it Is said that lately
Mr. Hughes had, succeeded In getting other
pastors or the conference to Join him in
preferring charges of . a serious nature
against Elder Allen, though Just what these
charges are none of the friends of either
man will admit they know.
The fight between the two men has
grown most bitter and two factions are
formed In the church as a result. When
auestloned Mr. Allen said:
VI have handed my resignation to the
bishop. There is no truth whatavar in
the report that I have been forced to Ye.
sign under Are. I have nothing to cover,
I have asked for no committee to Investi
gate my case, as has been reported. No,
I have not decided what course I shall take.
I have thought some of making a change,
and have also considered taking a pastor
ate In another denominations I am unable
to announce my plans as yet."
The feeling over the matter has become
bitter here among the friends of the two
men and much trouble Is expected In
church circles before tha matter Is fully
settled as Mr. Allen has many friends who
will not submit to a star chamber dlsnosl
Hon of the elder and who will demand
some proof before they believe the tales
hinted at by his enemies. ,

BLYDENBURGH CASE NEARS END
Attorney for Defense, Now Talking,
Will Be Followed by Attorney
for State.
ELDORA, la.. Feb. 8. Attorney J. JI.
Sales, for the defense, occupied most of
the day pleading for the liberty of Ehen
8. Blydenburgh, the alleged "Blue Beard."
One by one he gathered the threads of evl
dence submitted for the defense and forged
them Into links, claiming to have perfected
a chain which the state cannot break In Its
closing argument.
He referred to the testimony of experts. In
which It was stated that evidence of arsenic
In tha organs of the dead woman found
upon exhuming the remains did not Indi
cate whether the poison came there prior
to death or from tie embalming fluids used.
The fact that the defendant had proved
that he did not cook the meal containing
poison which the State says caused the
death of Mrs. Blydenburgh, the attorney
declared, created a reasonable doubt as to
the defendant's guilt, and that therefore he
was entitled to a verdict of acquittal. At
torney C, E, Albrook, for the state, will
close tomorrow.
