DOYLE STILL ON THE STAND CroM-Eiamliation of Tlaintiff in Famons fenlt Long Drawn Out. SEEKS DISCREPANCIES IN TESTIMONY Admits Ha Swore to What Was latra la Former Case la Colorado) and Did So la Iatereat . of Daraa. The trial of the Loyle-Burns suit was resumed yesterday morning- in district court with Poyle on the witness stand and his cross-txamlnatlon was not concluded when court adjourned for the day. It is expected his cross-examination will last all of today. Luring the morning session Mr. Thomas directed his cross-examination to show that Doyle's testimony In the present case was completely at variance with that which he gave In the trial of the auit of O'Halre against Burns In the Colorado courts. In the afternoon Mr. Thomas directed his ef forts to disprove the statement of Doyle thst he had little or nothing to do with the stock Issued by the Fortland compsny while he was secretary or one of the di rector of the corporation. Doyle proved an excellent witness for himself and met most of Mr. Thomas' ques tions with the reply: "I don't recollect," or "I can't say that I did." One question of Mr. Thomas caused a laugh "among the large audience in tha lobby, Which ' was largely composed of fashionably dressed women. In answer to a question why he had given his money to Burns, Doyle replied: "I treated him the same aa a boy would his father." ' This prompted Mr. Thomas to ask the witness, "Were you calling blm (Burns) 'papa' In those days?" Identifying His Slstnatares. Much of the afternoon was taken up In having Doyle Identify his signatures to cer tificates of stock tssaued by the Portland company during the time he was secretary of the company, aleo to Identify certificates of stock belonging to him issued to Kate Burns as trustee. This was done by the de fense Ira its efforts to disprove the state ment of Doyle that Burns alone handled aW of the stock and that all he did was to sign his name as secretary when called upon. . An affidavit made by Doyle In the O'Halre-Burns suit, In which Doyle referred to Burns as the owner of the Bob Tall No. 2 claim, was offered, by the, defense In evi dence, also the copy of an affidavit which is now In the land office In Washington in which Burns and Harnan as "disinter ested" witnesses swore to Burns being the owner of the Tidal Wave claim and that ha had never abandoned the work on It This affidavit was made in connection with the securing of the patent on the claim by Burns. The scene almost reached the dramatic when Mr Thomas asked Doyle, when he had repented of giving, aa he now admit ted having done, falae "testimony In the O'Halre-Burns suit and to which question Doyle, looking squarely into the face of his cross-examiner, replied: . - '."Mr." Thomas,' this' Is the only ' wrong thing I have done in my life and I have repented exceedingly and extremely, and God knows I have repented." " Charles J. Hughes, "jr., senior ' counsel from Colorado for Doyle, who arrived hers Sunday, was obliged to return to Denver yesterday afternoon. Ha announced he would return In time at least to take part In the argument, even if he had to leave the case in .which he Is now engaged In Denver. VALUABLE PAPERS ARE MISSING Safe in Lawyer's Office Robbed of Box of Documents. When A. T. Fllcklnger of the legal firm of Fllcklnger Brothers opened the safe In their office In the Bhugart block yesterday marnlng he discovered that a , tin box containing valuable papers had been stolen. The papers, which belong to the William Saar estate, comprised among others, promissory notes of the face value of $11,000 and a time certificate of deposit Issued by the First National bank of this city for S2&4.80. While unable to direct suspicion against any particular person, .Mr. Fllcklnger is of the belief that the box was stolen some time during Saturday afternoon during his and his brother's temporary absence from the office, ' Tha safe at that time was unlocked and possibly the door was slightly open. The stenographer was in the ad joining room but she failed to hear any one enter the office. Mr. Fllnkinger locked the safe on leaving the office for the day Saturday evening, but before doing so did not look Into it to see If everything was all rlht. Mr. Fllcklnger stated yesterday that the papers were . absolutely of no value to anyone but the administrators of the s tate Fortunately Mr. Fllcklnger haa a complete Inventory of all the promissory notes, and other papera, as one .waa re cently made by the administrators of the estate. The loss of the papers, however, will cause considerable annoyance and trouble, and Mr. Fllcklnger states he is willing to give a reward for their return and will ask no questions. REWARD OFFERED. Reward will be paid for the return of tin box and contents taken from the safe In Fllcklnger Brothers' law office on Sat urday, March 18, and no questions asked. Rooms and cafe. Ogden hotel.

The Board of Kducatlon at Its meeting last night decided to stand pat and refuse to comply with the order of the Board of Health requiring that children who have not been vaccinated1 be debarred from at tending achool. Not only did the board de cide to refuse to enforce the order but In addition appointed President Hess and Member Tlnley as a committee to employ an attorney to take the matter Into court and bring suit 10 enjoin the Board of Health from debarring any child from school or from closing any schools because of the refusal of the Board of Education to comply with the order.

The matter was brought before the board by President Hess reading the following notice .which had been served on him by City Marshal Richmond prior to the meet ing: ; , - ' I am directed by the Board of Health of this city to direct that commencing on Tuesday, March SI, you exclude from the public schools of this city all teachers anl pupils not provided with certificates of vaccination approved by the said Board of Health of this city. a. H. RICHMOND, City Marshal. On the president's desk was a large package containing the certlflcatea which had been returned by the Board of Health, and these were ordered placed In the car of Secretary Robs until they might b needed again. It was stated that there ara only about 1,000 certificates Instead of 4,000, as announced by Superintendent Clif ford at the previous meeting of the board. Tha old board on convening last night proceeded at once to canvass the vote cast at the achool election laat week, and on Its completion J. P. Hess, N. P. Andersen and W. E. McConnell, tha threa republican candidates, were declared elected. This formality concluded, Oeorge W, Gorman, the retiring member, vacated his seat, which was assumed by Mr. Andersen, while Mr. Hess vacated that of president and took his place among the other mem bers. Mr. McConnell assumed the seat made vacant by the resignation of Colonel Davenport. The election of president resulted In Mr. Hess being again chosen to fill that position, the vote being: Hess, 4; Tlnley, 2; Westerdahl, 1.

' ' In accordanca with the custom that haa prevailed for several years at the annual meeting In March, Chairman Cooper of the committee . on teachers' moved that the rules be "suspended and"lbat Superintendent Clifford be re-elected for the ensuing school ytar commencing nexeptemher. To this Member Westerdahl was -opposed . and he called attention '.to . thfc.' ruia which pro vided that the superintendent be elected at the meeting In April. Member Tlnley, In support of the position .taken by Mr. Wes-' terdahl, called attention, to the rule which provides that the rules and regulations of tha board can only be altered, amended or abolished by unanimous condent of th board.

A large pro portion of Iowa's 100,000 miles of public highways for an Indefinite period' will be necessarily maintained as earth roads and the commission has been very strongly rec ommending some form Of continuous main tenance as the best and most economical. A number of farmers' clubs have been or ganised to try this plan this year and many Individuals will also take it up. A variety of tools may be used. Including an ordinary harrow, a light steel railroad rati and several forms of hood-made scrapers.

The commission now has under way experiments on typical sections of country road near Ames. Mr.- King Is perhaps tha most prominent and successful advocate of this system and he has contrived the "split log'' or.

CEDTR RAPIDS,, la., March -Spe. rial ) The trustees ol the American Cereal company In a meeting here today unani mously decided to rebuild the Cedar Rapids plant at ouoe on tha old site. 1 To the People of Nebraska: There Is an attempt now being made by the combined railroad, line elevators and line lumber yard interests gathered at Lincoln to cause the enactment of a law known ,a HOUSE liOLL NUMBER 255 by which the taxes of the people will surely be increased, and the home administration of their county expenditures for. bridges will in part be re moved from the hands of their local authorities. NO SIMILAR LAW HAS EVER YET BEEN ENACTED RY ANY STATE IN THE UNION. - THIS LAW IS FOR THE BENTeFIT OF THE LUMBER AND GRAIN TRUST NOW OPERATING LINE ELEVATORS AND LUMBER YARDS THROUGHOUT THE STATE, and to the end that such trusts may inflict upon the tax-paying public of this stato the same heavy exactions they are now Inflicting upon the people of this state in their lumber purchases. Preliminary to accomplishing this purpose hey must have some law through which they can wipe out the business of parties engaged in furnishing material and constructing bridges in this state. This they have found in House Roll 255. Not-' withstanding the large amount of money spent for bridges, none of the men engaged In such work have ever been able to acquire more than a moderate competency in such busi ness. This is of itself the best guarantee of the fidelity and care that has been used in the expenditures for bridges by our county officials now charged with the care of such matters. ' , Engaged in an unequal fight at Lincoln with these combined trust forces is Robert Z. Drake, owner of the Standard Bridge Company. WE APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE OF THIS STATE TO HELP HIM BY THEIR ADVICE, SYMPATHY AND ANY OTHER: HONORABLE MEANS TO PREVENT THIS INIQUITOUS MEASURE FROM BECOM ING A LAW.
