John X. Baldwin .Makes Statement
Regardlna; Hon. Walter I. Smith
Which Latter Promptly
Resenta.
Motion to suppress the deposition of E.
M. Stephenson In the Portland mining ault
was argued today. The attorneys of
James Doyle, the plaintiff, presented It.
The defense contended that the deposition
contained only the direct examination and
that no opportunity had been liven to
cross-examine the witness. During the ar
gument Attorney Baldwin accused Con
gressman Smith of making a deliberate
misstatement. "I dlt not," hotly retorted
the latter. Mr. Baldwin then modified his
remark. Judge Thornell intimated that he
would rule out any further evidence on
what disposition was made of the Port
land atock Issued In exchange for the min
ing claims Involved, because It 1b conceded
Bnrna got it all.
At noon adjournment of court in the
Portland mining case Judge Thornell
stated that he had heard of an attempt to
Influence Jurors against the plaintiff, James
Doyle, by persons speaking of him In the
presence of Jurymen as an enemy to labor
and In general derogatory terms. It la re
ported a man named BUI Fisher was paid
(260 to circulate auch statements.
Judge Thornell warned the Jurors that If
anyone tried to talk In their presence about
the case they must report the matter at
once to himself. He said that If necessary
he would place them under guard. The
court also held a conference with the at
torneys on both sides over the matter.

DEADLOCKED OVER VACCIS ATIO
Board ot Education Indeelded Abont
Enforcing; Order.
The Board of Education at a special
meeting yesetrday afternoon waa unable to
arrive at any decision aa to whether It
would enforce the order of the Board of
Health relative to vaccination or whether
it would continue to take the stand that It
did not believe It had the authority to debar
pupils who refused to be vaccinated from
the schools. At present, owing to the resig
nation of Colonel Davenport, there are but
six members and the vote was equally
divided. Realizing that un these condi
tions nothing definite could be arrived at
the question was deferred until the regular
meeting next. Monday night, when the
three newly elected members will take
their scats and the board will then consist
of seven members, making a tie vote Im
possible. President Hess and Members Tlnley and
Cooper voted In favor of taking the neces
sary steps to enforce the order of the
Board of Health by instructing Superin
tendent Clifford to notify the principals of
thn different . buildings to require each
teacher, Janitor and pupil to furnish the
requisite certificate" of vaccination. Mem
bers Shugort, Gorman and yesterdahl,
however, voted against any -such-action. -
Superintendent Clifford reported that
about 4,000 of the pupils had furnished the
required certificates, but there were about
1,500 children who hnd not been vaccinated,
Tni many of. these would., he- understood,
refuse to be. He thought the school board
ought to take some action rather than have
the health oTicers olose the schools, which
they would be likely to do If the order waa
not enforced. .
Mayor Macrae, when he learned of the
result, or rather lack of result' of the
meeting of the Board of Education, In
structed Chief of Police Richmond to serve
notice on Superintendent Clifford to turn
over to the secretary of the Board of
Health not later than Saturday all certifi
cates of vaccination turned In by the pupils,
also notice on each principal to, turn In
such certificates ': to ' the superintendent
today.
When the certificates are turned In to the
Board of Health the latter body will then
be able to ascertain what proportion of the
pupils have complied with the order and it
will then determine what further action to
take.
Chnred with Forgery.
W. M. Smith, claiming to be an elec
trician from Des. Moines, Is under arrest
at the city Jail, charged with attempting
to pass an alleged forged instrument.
Wednesday afternoon Smith engaged a rig
from M. Weatherbee's barn for two hours,
but failed to return It until after midnight.
In payment of the to charged by Weather
bee Smith offered a draft for $34 on the
Council Bluffs. Savings hank signed by
S. E. Scott. Weatherbee refused to accept
the draft and telephoned for the police.
Before the police arrived Smith tore up the
draft and attempted to throw It Into the
stove, but waa prevened by Weatherbee,
who gathered up the pieces and handed
them to the police. . '

MANGLED BODY FOfJf D OX TRACK
J. E. Adams of Omaha Killed by Cara
Sear Lovelaad. '
The mangled remalna of a man, subse
quently identified aa J. E. Adams, until re
cently In the employ of the C. F. Adams
company of Omaha aa a salesman, were
found yesterday morning by section men
on the tracks of the Northwestern, Just
east of the depot at Loveland. The body
was badly mangled and portions of It were
found almost a mile away from the head
and trunk. The man's featurea were
mashed beyond recognition.
By order of Coroner Treynor the remains
were brought to Cutler's undertaking rooms
In this city, where they were Identified last
evening aa thoee of J. E. Adams by A. B.
Meston of the C. F. Adams company of
Omaha, for whom the unfortunate man had
worked. The Identification was made com
plete by a book found In the man's coat,
which contained a list of the sales he had
made while employed by the Adams com
pany, and also by the man's clothing.
Adams roomed at 1101 Jackson street,
Omaha, over the saloon conducted by Wil
liam Dickey. On the front page of the
memorandum book found on the dead
man waa Dickey's name and address, writ
ten by Mr. Dickey no later than Wednes
day, this Information being given Mr. Mes
ton by Mr. Dickey.
Adams had formerly worked for the C.
F. Adams company in Cincinnati, where
It Is believed his wife is now living. Later
he worked for the L. E. Price Mercantile
company of Kansas City, before going to
Omaha, where he secured employment
again with the Adams company. His fond
ness for liquor, however, caused him to
lose his position about a week or ten days
ago. Mr. Meston stated he had heard
Adams had since secured a position as so
licitor for another Installment house.
Adams, Mr. Meston said, was almost
stone deaf and was a man of powerful
physique. He Is thought to have been
about 40 or 45 years of age.
How the man came to be killed Is a mat
ter of conjecture. It Is thought he was rid
ing the bumpers of a freight train and lost
his hold aa tracks In the sand between
the rails show whero his feet had dragged
for nearly 200 yard before he was forced
to let go and his body was ground to
pieces.
Adams Is said to have been In Council
Bluffs Wednesday afternoon and evening,
as a man answering his description, and
wearing a black corduroy suit such as
found on the dead man was seen about
town trying to sell a large wall clock such
as Is sold by the Installment houses for
which he worked.
It Is likely that an Inquest will be held
today.
Bootleargers Are Sentenced.
Judge McPtierson sentenced a number of
bootleggers In federal court yesterday.
Caleb Green, a negro, got thirty days In
tho Red Oak Jail and a fine of $100. Chris

Ed Young got off with a suspended sen
tence of six months and a fine of $100 pend
ing good behavior. Oscar Smith, an old
offender from Woodbine, was sentenced to

The motion to remand to the superior
court the Injunction suit of Chrlsman and
other property owners at Manawa against
the motor company was overruled, and the
defendant company was granted leave to
file an amendment to Its motion to dissolve
the ' Injunction. - This Is the suit brought
to enjoin the county supervisors and the
motor company from vacating certain
streets ami public thoroughfares In Manawa
park In favor of the motor company.

HAMBURG, la., March ls.-(Speclai.)
John Flnnell, sr.. a well-to-do farmer living
five miles east of here, almost died last

poisoning. He had numerous convulsions
and for a time his life was despaired of by
the physician. However, he la now out
of danger. Two other members of the
family also had symptoms of poisoning,
but were relieved by the doctors. Last
Tuesday one of the dogs died In convul
sions and last night another died the same
way. No poison was known to be on the
place. There Is a deep mystery connected
with the case, though no suspicion of foul
play.
Last night for supper the FInnells'
daughter made a cornstarch pudding,
which was noticed to taste very bitter, so
much so that only three ate much of it.
Mr. Flnnell ate a whole dish, which was
the -reason ho fared so much worse than
the other two who ate but little on account
of the bitter taste.

WRECK ON THE ELEVATED ROAD
New York Southbound Train Crashes
Into One in Front and Sev
eral Are Injured.
NEW YORK, March 16. Two persons
were badly hurt and a dozen others slightly
Injured, while hundreds were thrown Into a
panic of fear by a rear-end collision be
tween two southbound Sixth, avenue ele
vated trains at Seventy-second street and
Columbus avenue during the forenoon rush
hours today. A train which had Just
stopped at the station was run Into by an
other that had been following 'It closely.
The accident ia thought to have been due
to failure of the air brakes of the second
train to work.
Passengers said that the collision was
due to the attempts of the mo tor man of
the rear train to discover how near he
could bring his train -to 'the one ahead of
him without hitting it. They aver that he
made several such attempts before the
accident and then became confused and
failed to stop his train In time.
Passengers on both trains became wildly
angry when they discovered the cause of
the accident and made a rush for the 1
motorman with cries of "Lynch the motor-1
man!" and "Mob him!." Police reserves
were called out. On the arrival of the
police the passengers demanded that the
motorman be arrested, but the police de
clined to do so, saying they could not take
him from his train.
