ADMITS KILLING OF MOYER Otto Boderick, Arretted u t Sojpect, Hake Confession to Chief of Polioe. ALLEGES HE STRUCK IN SELF-DEFENSE Men at Restaurant Contradict n Tor tlon of His Story and Assert He Admitted Harlan- Been En erased In Fight. The mystery surrounding the assault on Clark W. Moyer, the railway mail clerk, Saturday night, which resulted In his death at 6t. Bernard's hospital Sunday morning, wss cleared up yesterday after noon at the Inquest. Otto W. Roderick, the suspect arrested by the police Sunday night, made a confession. In which he ad mitted being the person who had struck Moyer, felling him to the ground. He claimed that Moyer struck at btm first and that when he hit back he had no Idea that Moyer bad been badly hurt. The coroner's Jury, consisting of O. H. Lucas, J. W. Scott and A. J. Stephenson, brought In a verdict to the effect that Moyer came to his death as the result of a blow or blows Inflicted by Otto W. Rode rick, the latter being aided and abetted by one John Williams. Williams Is a farmhand working on the Martin place, near the Iowa School for the Deaf. He was arrested yesterday after noon following the Inquest and it In the county jail with Roderick. An Information charging Roderick and Williams with the murder of Moyer was filed In the court of Justice Bryant yesterday afternoon. It at expected that they will have their prelim inary hearing some time today. Roderick all of yesterday morning con tinued to adhere to his story that he had nothing to do with the assault on Moyer, that he did not even know the man and was not in the vicinity of the Creeton House saloon at any time Saturday night. After be had eaten his dinner and shortly before the time arrived for the Inquest, however, he broke down and admitted to Chief of Police Tlbbitts that he waa the man who had struck Moyer. He claimed that he had only struck him after Moyer had made two passes at him. Roderick's statement to Chief Tlbblts, which was substantially the same as he made at the Inquest, wat as follows: Statement of Roderick. He said that he and John Williams had taken sapper shortly before 9 o'clock at Billy Gray's restaurant on . South Main street, near Seventh avenue, and after ward be and Williams had come uptown. Shortly before midnight be and Williams started to return down Main street. In front of the Creeton House saloon they passed a "bunch" of men. Someone In the "bunch" made an Insulting remark to Williams and the latter went back. He ad vised Williams not to pay any attention to It, but to come along. He then went back to aasltt Williams and ' three of the men in the crowd ran, ' but a heavy-set man, wearing glasses, whom he afterward learned' wat Moyer, struck at - him first 1 with his right and then with hit left hand. He warded off both blows and then struck Moyer with his left hand, knocked htm down and he and Williams continued on their way down South Main street. He said that when he struck Moyer the latter went backward and "kind of sunk down." He did not stop to see It the man waa seriously Injured, as he supposed It would causo trouble. He said he had not been In the Creston House saloon that nlgfot and had not been there for six weekt or two months. He said he did not know Moyer and as far aa ho knew had never met him. He said that Moyer muttered something when he struck at him. but he did not hear what be said. He said he had never teen the three fel lows who were with Moyer before and de nied having had any trouble with them earlier In the night. The three fellows ran when he started to go after them. He denied having told any person In Pabst'a saloon that night that he had knocked out Clark Moyer. Contradicts Roderick. Roderick's ttatement that he did not tell anybody about knocking a man down In front of the Creston House saloon was con tradicted by two witnesses, Roy Jones, em ployed as a cook In Gray'a restaurant, and John Clary, who waa visiting J one Satur day night. Jcdes testified that Roderick and Williams came Into the restaurant about midnight Saturday and that Roderick asked for the loan of 25 centt with which te get across the river. He taid that Roderick told him he had had a fight near the Cres ton houte with a big fellow who wore glasses. Jonee told him he could not loan him the money and Roderick, be said, then told him to go to h 1. Jones told him that place waa too hot for htm and Roderick, he said, answered that he bad just put one four-eyed there. Clary's evidence waa In corroboration of Jones' testimony. Former Alderman E. C. Brown, testified to finding Moyer lying unconscious on the sidewalk In a pool of blood, with a wound under hit right eye. These were the only witnesses before the Inquest, Coroner Treynor deciding that la view of Roderick's admlsslona there wat no need for further testimony at this time. The jury then brought In the ver diet aa above. Roderick la a young man about 2S years of age and clalma Council .Bluffs as hit home. Hla wife lives In South Omaha, but It Is said has been separated from her bus- band for some time. Roderick la a laborer and hat been arrested more than once by the police for being drunk. He bad been drinking Saturday night when be had the trouble with Moyer. Roderick In his statement said Moyer waa wearing glasses and this It probably true, at he usually wore them, but when he waa found unconscious on the sidewalk there was no sign of the glasses and they have not been found tlpce. Kelatlves of Meyer Csnlsg. Word wat received yetterday afternoon that a brother and sister of the dead man would be here today to take charge of the body. Moyer waa a member of the Knights of Pythias In good standing. He belonged to the lodge In Fairfield, la. John H Merckens, county clerk of Jefferson county at Fairfield, la a letter to City Clerk Phil Hps yesterday, asked for Information con cerning the death pf Moyer and stated that the only relative of the dead man there wae a brother, who waa a patient la the Insane ward of the county hospital. Roderick's ttatement that Moyer first struck at him it not credited by those who were acquainted with the dead man Moyer, while known at a drinking man and a frequenter of - saloons, was never kii'jf n to raise hit hand against any man. For quite a while he had been almost a cripple, having within the latt two yeara suffered two fracture of hit lega, and until quite recently waa forced to walk with the assistance of crutches. The police are atlll trying to locate the three young men said to have been with Moyer at the time he left the saloon, at they undoubtedly would be able to throw considerable light on the tragedy. Now that Roderick haa admitted to being the person who struck Moyer and It has been shown that they were not responsible for the assault, the authorities are hopeful thst tbey will come forward and tell of their own free will all they know about the affair. HOW TO TEACH THE CHILDREN Some Things Necessary Besides Im planting the Tblaas In tke Text Books. Superintendent McManus' expectations were realized yesterday at the enrollment at the Pottawattamie County Normal In stitute reached the 200 mark. Miss Maud Summers in her lecture yes terday morning on "Primary Methods" made several suggestions as to how teach ers might interest the children each month during the year, especially at such times as Hallowe'en, Thanksgiving, Christmas, St. Valentine's day. Arbor day and na tional holidays. For Hallowe'en she sug gested that teachers have social gather ings for the children from kindergartens up to the fourth grade and by means of stories teach them the history and mean ing of the day. She pointed out the fact that many timet the teachers fall to Im press upon the minds of the children the true meaning of Thanksgiving day and suggested that they be told the story of the Pilgrim Fathers. Christmas to some she said, had come to mean selfishness. The Idea of Christmas had by many children Is to have more presents than their little neighbor. They should be taught different and taught to make their own presents which they Intend to give their playmatet and parent!. Above all she suggested to teach them the story of the Christ child. The birthdays of Wash ington and Lincoln, she said, should be especially emphasized in the public schools, as this Is one of the great opportunities of teaching patriotism to the pupils and a true love for the Stars and Stripes. She suggested that Memorial day be observed la schools In much the same way as Wash ington's and Lincoln'! birthday, thua ere atlng a stronger spirit of love for the vet erant who fought for their country in the civil war.

TURNS DOWN ASPHALT BILL Mayor sf Dti Ifoints Vttoea Resolution ud Champions Brick Industry. TELEPHONE STRIKE SETTLEMENT REMOTE Girls' Sympathisers I rare Patrons of Concerns to Discard Instruments Deal Pending for Sale of Matnal Plant. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, June 30. (Special.) Mayor Brenton this morning vetoed a resolution which had passed the city council author izing the use of asphalt for paving certain streets In the eastern part of the city. The mayor made his veto strictly on the ground that the use of asphalt In Det Moines would be Injurious to the brick industry in the city. The property owners bad petitioned for asphalt paving on this atreet and there are already a number of residence streets in the western part of the city that are paved with asphalt, but a protest came from the manufacturers of brick In the city, and the mayor will not allow the use of asphalt on Des Molnet ttreets. Nearly all the paving In Det Moines ia with brick and It has nearly all been put down In the last ten years. ' The entire paving question will have to be opened up again and the property owners who are In terested and who will have to pay for the brick will make an effort to force the city to adopt asphalt where they want It. In nearly all of the smaller towns of Iowa brick ia used exclusively at a paving ma terial, but the brick la nearly all made in Dei Moines, where the clay la just right for paving brick. It is feared by the brick people that If asphalt It used here it will induce the people of the towns and smaller cities to dlsoard brick. Strike Settlement Remote. The arbitration committee of the Tradea and Labor assembly and the 'special com mittee named yesterday to advise with them commenced a systematic canvass of the city today to induce the usera of tele phones to order their Instruments out to morrow as a protest against the position of the companies In maintaining their fight against the telephone girls. The commit tees went at it systematically and thor oughly and claim that they secured many pledges from the telephone usera. ' At the same time a movement hat been Inaugurated for a sale of the Mutual plant to a new company. E. H. Martin of Web ater City, C. H. Deerlng of Boons and O. N. Bandy of Perry are in the city, all owners of telephone properttei, and have submitted to the directors of the Mutual a proposition for purchase of their plant. They are already Interested in the com pany, through their connections, and Mr. Martin has been asked to take personal charge of the business for the present and to make the fight against the telephone girls. The manager of the Iowa company atates that none of the linemen who went out Saturday In sympathy with the strikers were regularly employed and all their line men are non-union men. There Is less pros pect now of a settlement than last week. Crop Situation in Iowa. Director Sage, of the local weather and crop service, while he refuted to give a di rect opinion relative to the amount of dam age excessive ralna have already done In Iowa, It extremely apprehensive at to the outlook. Hia weekly weather and crop bul letin, istued tomorrow, will be far from encouraging, though it it likely the director himself will hardly hazard a question aa to the amount of Injury brought about by the exceaslve rains and the exceedingly low temperature for the month of June. All depends on the character of weather through the month of July. If it turns off hot and dry the entire crop will be ruined. Planta throw their roott deep into the ground during dry weather to gather mois ture. During wet teatont the roots lie along the turface. Hot, parching weather would have the effect of actually baking the roots and destroying the plant. Con siderable anxiety it therefore felt relative to the character of weather during the com ing month. Sewage Disposal Plants. The state board of control today adver tised for bids . for new tewage disposal plants at the hospital at Mt. Pleasant, the reform school at Mltchellvllle and the orphan'! home at Davenport. The bldi are to be in by the 12th of the month. There are three separate plans proposed, one on the plan of the International Sew age company of Boston and two on the septlo tank system. It hai been found that there ia no way of securing disposal of the sewage at either of the Institu tions by ordlnaray drainage and the state hat been put to too much expense to care for the waste. The board hopes to get often for plans that will solve the prob lem. Burlington May Extend.
