THREE DUCK HUNTERS DROWN

ROBERT BROWN McK.j iFFORT AT RESCUE
Ueta One of t n f ordinate Meal Within
Forty Feet of Shore 'When He
Heroines r?m boosted anJ
Sinks.
John W. Piiinell, proprietor of the saloon
at tiroadwi-.y anu Tenth street William
j Hutklns. proprietor of a saloon at NjoS West
Broadway, and Smiley Baxter, a young
1 man employed In a Broadway poolroom,
were drowned yesterday afternoon In- Lake
Manawa while duck abootlng, by the over-
turning of their boat during a heavy squall.
KfTorta to recover the bodies last night
.proved fruitless owing to the heavy wind
and high waves.
Robert Brown, " employed by the motor
company as caretaker and watchman at
the lake rsort, made an heroic effort to
rescue the drowning men and nearly suc
ceeded In getting Plnnell to labor when
Plnnell became exhausted and let go his
hold of Brown's boat and sank.
The three men had rpent the day at the
lake duck shooting and were making for
thp shore when their boat waa atruck by a
heavy siittn II just as they rounde the point
nearly opposite the clubhouse. As far as Is
known Hasklns sank at once, but Plnnell
and Baxter managed to get hold of the
overturned skiff and were clinging to It
when Caretnker Brown's attention was
called to them by some children. . Brown
as soon as possible secured a rowboat and
with the greatest difficulty, owing to the
wind, which was blowing a perfect gale
and laahlng the waters of the lake Into
heavy waves, succeeded In reaching the
capsised boat and the two men clinging to
it.
Almost Reaches Shore.
Realizing that It would be Impossible for
both of them to get Into the boat, Baxter
urged Brown to take Plnnell to shore first
and then come back for him, saying he
could hang on to the overturned skiff until
he returned. Plnnell attempted to climb
Into Brown's boat, but soofl perceived that
to do so would probably reeult in upsetting
It and drowning Brown.' He told Brown to
row ahead and he would cling to the stern.
T'nahle to make headway against the wind
Brown had to let the boat go with the
wind, rowing for the landing at Marks'
clubhouse. When within about forty feet
of the landing .Plnnell. who had evidently
become exhausted, weighted down as he
was with hla heavy hunting clothes snd
tall hoots, and probably chilled through.
i suddenly relaxed his hold of the boat and

Plnnell did not rise to the aurface and
Brown then started to return to the cap

rescue Baxter. When he reached the boat,

.distance. Baxter was not .to, be seen, and
It Is supposed that,, he became thauated

VATHER DISOWXH
HIS I1AKDIT SON
Hody of Dead Boy Will Be Turned
Our to Kdleal Collrae.
. Anton Lowing of Chicago, father of Mar
tin Lowing, the youthful bandit who, after
holding up and robbing Martin Mortensen
Ip bis saloon on Sixteenth avenue Thurs
day morning, killed hjmself when he saw
escape waa impossible, nas aisownea ms
son. In a telegram received yesterday
morning by Undertaker Cutler he sent
word :
"I don't want anything to do with Mar
tin Lowing-."
This was all that was contained in the
telegram, nothing being aald about the
younger son, now In the county Jail for
complicity in the robbery.
This telegram from the father is supposed
to be In answer to the one sent him late
Thursday night by Coroner Treynor ac
quainting him of the fact that his son com
mitted suicide and asking him to advlae
about disposition of the body. That his
son had brought disgrace on his name by
turning bandit the father, tt is supposed,
learned through the press dispatches to the
Chicago newspapers, aa it la doubtful If he
had received the letter from Chief of Police
Richmond by the time he sent the telegram
to I'ndertaker Cutler.
The father refusing to provide for the
burial of the boy the body will probably
be turned over to some medical college of
the state for dissection. The Iowa law pro
vides that In cases where the relatives re
fuse to direct the disposition of a body the
secretary of the State Board of Health
shall be notified, and. If he ao directs the
body shall be turned over to some medical
college. The proper notice was sent the
secretary of the State Board of Health
yesterday afternoon by Coroner Treynor.
An Inmiest wkb held vesterduV mornlna
I over the de id hov at Cutler's undertaking
rooms. J. C. Baker, Rev. Henry DeLong
and John Wallace comprised the Jury and
brought in a verdict of suicide. The wit
nesses were John Lowing, brother of the
dead boy; Detective Cullaghan. 1'atrol
Irlver Platner and Martin Mortensen, the
saloonkeeper who was robbed.
Young Lowing was brought from the
county Jail to Identify the body as that of
his brother. I'nder caution from Judge
Wheeler of the district court the witness
was not asked to make any statement with
reference to the circumstances attending
the robbery leading up to hla brother's
death, aa the witness was charged wfth
complicity In the crime.
Mr. Mortensen testified as to the facta of
the robbery, while Officer Platner testified
to discovering the dead body of tho young
bandit in the threshing machine. Peteo
ttv Callaghan Identified the revolver and
bullet found In the machine where the
young fellow shot himself. .
. Young Lowing on being taken back te
the county Jail after the likuest aald bis
brother had frequently dirlng the last
three year threatened to k4 himself, but
Ue had succeeded In dUsua ting him. Be

tFrom a Staff Correspondent.)
DKS MolNiiS. April . (Special.) The
leglw.ature made a start for reform today, a
little late in tile Seeslun, but referring par
ticularly to reform for other and tuture
general uSsemblles In the matter of the I
number of employes. The house took up
the bill of the committee on retrenchment
......... - , . ,
and reform providing for revision of the
law relating to the number of legislative
relatlng to the number of legislative
employes and the manner of their selection.
In general the' bill reduces the humber of i
employed and adjusts salaries. Tho chief
clerk and secretary get Increase of pay,
the Janitors and doorkeepers art placed
under proper regulation and control, the
elevator men are given some responsibility
and the number of committee clerks la re
duced one-half. The bill, it was explained,
was not entirely satisfactory to the com
mittee that presented It, but waa a step In
the right direction. The only part which
caused any debate was that relating to
committee clerks. Instead of 100 of these
for the legislature the bill provides for
twenty-four for each house, to be assigned
two to each committee room and nil to be
I com.Petent
stenographers. The bill pro
vided that the committee on retrenchment
and reform should select them, but' the
I house nmended so that they will be se
I lected by the chairmen of the leading com-
niiun-n Hiier toe committee on retrencn-
! ment ano: torrn has grouped the commit
i an' "signed meeting dates. It was i
i f,PlaInpJ th"t h passage of the bill would
1 effect a saving of over $230 a day In the ex-
J pensea of the general assembly.
The dlBctission of the measure disclosed
that members feel that there Is much of
the service about the legislature that is In
the nature of a graft nnd that persons nre
elected for the places not because they are
needed or are competent, but becatiFP they
want places and members' are under obli
gations to make places for them. - ,
It Is generally believed, however, th.it the :
senators will refuse to pass the hill, as j
they have practically now one clerk or I
private secretary for each senator and are
Jealous of their prerogatives.'
Condemn Kx-Mae OMpIhIs.
The report of the committee on retrench
ment and reform on the case of former
State Auditor Frank Merrlnm and his In
surance examiner. Max Beehler, was filed
today. The report does not bo far toward
giving a clean bill to either of the former
state officials accuaed of overreaching them
selves In the matter of extortionate fees
while In office under former state adminis
trations. The committee reports that Mr.
Merriam appeared before the committee
near the close of the session, but Mr. Beeh
ler did not come. It was evident from the
examination, so the committee says, that
a number of companies were examined
near the close of Merrlam's term of office
and on a single eaatern trip, and in most
of the oases the companies were each one
separately charged with full railway fare
to and from Des Moines and for meals and
hotel bills. "This committee regards the
charges thus made as Irregular, unau
thorised .'nnd in., obvious contravention of
the letter and spirit of. the code." But the
committee also states that the Insurance
companies) should have submitted the hills
to the governor or executive council before
payment of the same If they deemed them
exorbitant for revision or reduction, fix

but no agreement reached. The senate also
