STATE TESTIMONY IN MURDER CASE ALL IN
Conrt Adjonrna lufll Morning to Give
Defense Opportunity in Prepare
Motion and Consult
M'ltnrnafi.
The Irilroduction of evidence for the de
fense In the trial of W. C. Rogers for the
murd.T of Saloon Keeper Bert Forney will
bo begun this morning, the state having
rested its case shortly after 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, when at the request
of counsel for Rogers Judge Thomell ad
journed court until this morning. Rogers'
attorneys stated they wished time to pre
pare a motion to strike out some parts of
the state's evidence and to consult with
certain witnesses who had Just reached tne
city. In view . of the request of Rogers'
attorneys and the fart that R. B. Colllster,
one of the Jurors, was feeling Indisposed,
Judge 'J hornell was willing to adjourn court
until this morning.
The cnurl room If anything was more
crowded yesterday tnan on tne two pre-
ceding days of the trial and the number of
women present was larger. An Interested
listener to the proceedings was Mrs. For
ney, tha widow of the murdered man, who,
with a couple of women friends, occupied
seals Inside the railing.
The feature of yesterday's proceedings
wns the testimony of Former Detective
Thomas F. Callaghan, the officer who ar
rested Rogers, the evening following the
murder. It had been expected that Rogers
would call at the laundry for a package of
i-viwlilnn' n n,l Detective fatlnBhan Inv In
wait for him. About 7:30 o'clock Rogers
called and received his packaged and Cal
laghan, who wis concealed, was given the
signal and he followed Rogers out onto the i
street, overhauling him as he was making
direct for the saloon conducted by Fred
Bunting. Touching him on the a m.
Callaghan told Rogers he was under ar
rest. As Rogers made amove to draw his
gun from under his vest Callaghan placed
his revolver atfalnat Rogers' stomach, with
the threat that he would blow him In two
unless he held his hands up and Rogers
reluctantly complied.
Story of Arrest.
"What are you arresting me for? I have
not dona unythlng," were Rogers' first
words after being told he was under ar
rest and the officer replied:
"Well, If you have done nothing you
have nothing to fear and you are not
treating me right by trying to draw your
""" I
Twice on .he wav to the statron Callac-
l,un nlrt fh.t nr. .tomnl.it In t It !
han said that Rogers atcmpted to get at j
his gun and only finally desisted when he
felt the officer's revolver pressed close
against his body. When near the station
Rdfrers, Callaghan testified, drew a $20 bill
lrom his vest pocket, saying:
Callaghan, I never did you any dirt,"
and made a motion as If to offer . the
money to him. Callaghan told him to put
the money back In hls aocket;- that he
was an officer and had been directed to
arrest him. , ' "V ; ' '.'
. After Rogers was placed behind the bars
at the city Jail he cnlled to Callagahn and
asked him to be sure and take good care
ot that "railroad tg." referring to
con
ductor's receipt for cash fare. Rogers,
Callaghan testified, seemed very onxlous
about this receipt, although at that time
he wns hocked for vagrancy and carrying
concealed weapons, and nothing had been
said to him about him being connected
! with nny serious crime. As far as he
! could remember. Callnffhan testified, no
such receipt was among Rogers' effects
when searched at the Jail, or at least he
did not remember seeing it.
Callaghan further testified that while he
did not know Rogers by name until after
he had arrested htm, he knew him by sight
and had seen him in the Jarvis Wine com
pany's saloon on South Main street a day
or two before the Forney murder and
recognised him as a man he had seen In
Council Bluffs on several former occa
sions. He identified the revolver taken
from Rogers and explained how three of
the shells In the gun were bright and new,
while the other three were old and tar
nished and bore marks of the plunger. On
cross-examination, counsel for the defense
tried to shake Callaghan's testimony as to
having seen Rogers In the city a day or
two before the murder, but failed.
Thinks Rogers the Han.
Mrs. Addle Dowers, who at the time of
the murder resided at 1003 West Broadway,
proved a good witness for the state. She
testified that about 10:30 o'clock on the
night of the murdtr sho went to Forney's
saloon to buy a pall of beer. As she crossed
the street diagonally towards the saloon
she noticed two men standing near the
corner of the building, looking over, the
sash curtains of the front windows Into thi
saloon. As she approached one of the 1
men stepped behind the corner, but the 1

I saw looking Into the window," she testi
fied. Richard J. Organ, son of Attorney J. P.
Organ, was the last witness introduced by
the state. He testified that early In the
afternoon of April 3, while walking west

on Broadway, he noticed two men sitting
on the chain fence of the Northwestern

Rogers ss one of the two men. He said
Rogers was wearing a dark suit and dark
hat and was carrying a light-colored coat
on his arm. He said he called at the city
Jail a day or so after Rogers' arrest and
Identified Rogers as one of the two men
he had seen on Broadway near the North
western depot that afternoon.
W. T. Cochran, a railroad man, testi
fied that on the night of the murder he
went to Forney's saloon and noticed two
men standing In front of the place and a
third man a short distance up the street.
He spoke to one of the two men In front
of the saloon, thinking he was an engineer
he was acquainted with, but discovered he
was mistaken. As he addressed the man
the- other turned around, and, while he
would not swear that Rogers was the man,
Cochran testified that "Rogers looked very
like him."
(J. W. Sparks, who was In the Forney
saloon shortly before the murder, cor
roborated Chaney's testimony as to the
game of cards and other circumstances
prior to his leaving the saloon.
Henry Kahler, Forney's bartender, testi
fied that he worked the night watch, but
that on the night of the murder he went
to a social session held by the Eagles
lodge and that Forney took his place x in
the saloon. But for this Forney would not
have been In the saloon that night, be
said.
As on the preceding days there wns a
large crowd gathered outside the court
house at the close of the day's proceedings
to watch Rogers taken back to the county
Jail. Rogers,
who Is handcuffed on his J
way from the courtroom to the Jail, turned
on reaching the Jail door yesterday after
noon and, leisurely surveying the crowd,
remarked, with a cynical smile, to one of
the deputy sheriffs: "Well, I don't see any
cameras, do you?"
During yesterday's proceedings Rogers
appeared somewhat more nervous than he
had on the two preceding days and took
more Interest In the evidence Introduced
against him.

Want Better Street Railway service.
Residents of the southern portion of the
city want better street car facilities and
the South Side club has taken the matter
up. The suggestion made Is that the motor
company construct a loop at Sixteenth
avenue. to include the thickly settled por
tion of the city south of Sixteenth avenue,
west to Eeventh street and south to Twenty-third
avenue, where the loop would
again connect with the main line to Man
awa. At a meeting of the executive committee
of the cl ib last night at Smith's hall it was
decided to request the county authorities to
novo the county voting building for the
Second precinct of the Fifth ward from its
present site, at the corner of Fifteenth
avenue and Thirteenth street, to a site
somewhere m the vicinity of Sixteenth
avenue and Eighth street, as being more

REPORT ON THE DEAF SCHOOL
Board of Control is Decidedly Arena to
Keeping it at Presort Location.
GIVES NUMEROUS REASONS FOR ITS VI1WS
Legislative Committees Busy with
Hearings on Bills Conrt Knocks
Ont the Iowa. Antl-Trnat
and Antl-Comblne Law.
(From a Staff CorTespoh('nt-)
DE3 MOINES, Feb. 17. (Special.) The
report of the State Board of Control, called
for by the general assembly In relation to
the State School for the Deaf, was sub
mitted to the legislature today. The report
made a showing of reason for the removal
of the school from near Council Bluffs to 1
point more oentral In the state, but did not
point out any particular location.
The report reviewed the whole matter
very fully from the standpoint of the In
terests of the deaf children of the state,
those In the school and those reported as
not attending, but of school age. In re
gard to the present location of the school
the board was rather severe. The ground
to In part too low and that part which Is
sufficiently high for drainage Is Inadequate.
Several new buildings are needed for the
school. Including an administration build
ing, a building for apartments for the of
ficers and employes, a cottage for boys and
"o 'r lrls. a dining room ana Kitcncn
ar.u an ainueiiieiiv uuu. x nei3 puuum 0.11
be not ever two stories high, for safety,
but !f built on the present plot will have
to bo high and similar to the building de
stroyed and dangerous to the 300 children
th.-re. The present laundry and engine
and boiler houses are In need of rebuilding.
The location of the ground Is two miles
from the main part of the city and there
Is no street car line or means of public
conveyance, no sidewalks and the roads
are often Impassable, while the location of
the. road, crossing three main lines of rail
road and along these railroad tracks.
Fmakes It dangerous to the deaf children
who go there. There Is no rullrood siding
near enough and to construct one would
be very costly. No additional land can be
secured there without purchase of build
ings that could not be used.
In reference to the location at one Bide
of the state the flgures nre given showing
that the students from the east half of
the state paid one way this year to the
school In railroad fare $'8.03, or $5.07 for
each; and those In the west half $273.70, or
$1.70 each, besides what the state paid for
fare. Without referring to ' any special
location for the school the board would
place It nearer the renter of the state, and
have but one school for the entire state.
Money for the lows lOxhiblt.
The special committee to look Into the
needs of the exposition commission mads
rpnnrt to the Inclilutnre
report to tne legislature
The report rec-
f mmends an additional appropriation of
I $30,000 added to the $125,000 already secured,
' and all to be made immediately available.
The various heads of departments showed
that there should be added to the appro
priation the following: For buildings, fur
niture and grounds, first appropriation, $47,
500; additional desired, $4,500. For adminis
tration, original, $3',GO0; additional needed,
$48,750. For exhibits, original, $41,000; addi
tional needed, $57,406. Total additional asked,
$110,715. The report recommends only $20,
000 additional appropriation, divided as fol
lows: Lights and insurance, $1,200; ice and
water, $500; superintendence of buildings
and administration, $1,500; contingent, $1,000;
additional salaries for one month. $S00; live
stock department, $3,000; manufactures and
machinery, $1,500; horticulture, $4,000; dairy
and apiary, $1,000; agriculture, $4,000. The
report highly commends the commission for
the handsome building erected on the
grounds at an expense of $40,000.
- Legislative Proceedings.
The house pawed five bills today, includ
ing one for $3,000 for Inspecting county in
sane asylums; bill to forbid shooting live
birds' at trap tournaments; bill to require
humane education In public schools; bill to
prqvlde a way for mortgaging property of
Insane lersons. and bill to place trust com
panies under certain restrictions as to their
capital stock.
The resolution to provide an accountant
for the committee on retrenchment and re
form was withdrawn by Mr. Temple.
The senate considered at length the bill
forbidding employment of minors and
adopted a few changes, but did not com
plete considers tlon of the bill.
Among the bills Introduced was one by
Mr. Bailey to protect subscribers of news
papers so that accounts could not be col
lected unless specific arrangements were
made for a running subscription. Two bills.
by Hart and Pritehard, were introduced re
quiring Issuance of llvs stock shippers'
passes by railroad companies.
Bills to grant a right-of-way through the
state grounds at the deaf school to the
Tabor ft Northern were Introduced.
Hearings Before Committees.
The committee on railroads of the house
today completed a heating on the Delano
bill to regula. the running of stock trains
in Iowa. A number of the stockmen of the
state appeared before tha committee to ask
that the hill be passed, while the railroads
were represented In , opposition to ths
measure.
The committee defeated the bill requiring
switch lights and terminal connections and
for underground farm crossings, etc.
A hearing on the pure food bill was given
this afternoon hy the agricultural commit
tee of the house, and it was urged hy the
state dairy commissioner. and others.
The pardons committee of the legislature
concluded this evening a hearing of the
case of Sarah Kuhn of Keokuk county,
serving life sentence for murder of her
husband. The showing of her Innocence
was very strongly backed by the people of
the community and the decisions of the su
preme court In the rase were made use of
freely. Strong attorneys, taking up the
ens entirely without reward and merely
because of a belief that the defendant Is
innocent ps shown by the record, pleaded
fo a narrffn for the young woman on the
"lo fnrniind of her Innocence. Some start
ling Infrrmatlon. entirely new In the esse
and having s bearing on the guilt of other
parties was developed. The expectation Is
tha In this case, at least, there will be a
pardon granted.
Antl-Trnat I -a rr la Dead.
An effort to outlaw the demurrare -soclntions
In this state srd prevent the
lmroton of charges for sllowlnsr cars to
stand too lonr unloaded has had the effect
of knocking the bottom eut of the Iowa
law on nools and trusts, with consequent
probability that there will he at the session
now under way some added legislation to
repair the leak and preserve the reputation
of Iowa as one of the states forbidding
pools, trusts and combinations. The decl
slon came In the demurrage rases at Water
loo, where three railrond companies were
Indicted for conspiracy under the anti
trust and nntlcomblne law for having au
thorized the collection of demurrage
charges. The court held Ihe law to b void
because of tha sliding penalty under which
on of ths companies could he fined $12,000,-
000, another $13,m,noo and the third $CO,onn,.
000. Judge riatt held that this penalty
provision, depending on the capital stock
of the corporation, made the law unconsti
tutional. There was also fault In that In
the ease of home corporations their charters
must be forfeited while In the case of for
elgn corporations this was of course im
possible. Prepared for State Convention.
The republican state convention for the
purpose of selecting delegates to the na
tional convention will be held at Des Moines
on Wednesday. May 18, and John N. Irwin
of Keokuk will be temporary chairman.
This was decided upon at the meeting of
the members of the republican state central
committee held at the Elliott hotel. There
was no division In the committee on the
selection of the date of the convention nor
on the choice of any of ths temporary offi
cers, the slate having been practically
agreed upon before the members went Into
session. John N. Irwin, who is to be chair
man. Is a "stand-patter," while the ma
jority of the temporary officers are declared
to be friendly to Governor Cummins. The
officers for the convention are:

For neoDla who ara nbiect to such trouble!
I especially have prepared and have per

Ia cases of chronic hoarseness, throat and

garet Hossack, tiled, convicted and sen
tenced to prison for llfs for the murder of
her husband, December i, 1900, Is today a
frr-e woman, on motion of the state's
attorney a rehearing of the case was
stricken from the docket and tha defendant
discharged.
The crime for which Mrs. Hossack was
given a life sentence at Anamos.t is be
lieved to be one of f he most atrocious in
crime's annals. Her husband, an aged
man, was murdered with Hn axe while he
lay sleeping. She aroused the household
at 2 o'clock In the morning, claiming that
someone had entered the house and struck
the blow. A day later she wita arrested at
her husband's grave, tried and sentenced
for life. A new trial was granted and a
disagreement resulted. A third trial re
sulted similarly and the state concluded it
was a waste of funds to again try the case.
Infant Tells of KJIHng Brother.
FORT DODGE, la., Feb. 17.-(Spectal.)
"Leo said, 'Shoot me.' I didn't do it the
first time. Ho said shoot me again and the
second time 1 wasn't afraid. I put the
pistol against his face and pulled the trig
ger and he fell over and blood came out
of his mouth," was the testimony given by
4-year-old Marshall Hollls this morning, as
he sat on Coroner McCrelght's knee and
told the Jury how he had killed his 3-year-old
brother Leo. The children are the sons
of H. E. Hollls, an Illinois Central brake
man. This morning Marshall, the older,
found a revolver between the matresses of
his mother's bed and on the Invitation of
his younger brother pointed the weapon at
the latter and pulled the trigger. The
child died Instantly. Hollls went to Wood
bine Monday night to enter the employ of
the Northwestern and his wife, being ner
vous, had placed a revolver between the
mattresses of her bed. This morning, after
she had gone downstairs to build a fire,
the children found the weapon. Leo, the
3-year-old boy, said to his brother, "Shoot
me." The other hesitated, but when the
words were repeated, placed the revolver
against his brother's face and shot him.

" 1 take pleasure in saying mat tor toe

of your tablets before and just after speak

I wish the public to inorouguiy nnaer-
stand that my Dr. Kay's Renovator and my
Dr. Kay's Lung Balm, as well as all my
other remedies which I prescril, at certain
times for certain exaggerated cases, come in a
tablet form so that they are easy to carry on
ono s person, and can be taken mors regu
larly and easily than liquid remeuies i 'o
because they do not contain any alcohol
which does so much to irritate tha delicate
lining of the stomach, break down the
nerves, and retard recovery mv tahlots are ia
every way far superior to aoy liquid prepara

one that tuev will be on the safe side if they
will go to their nearest druggist and ask tor
my Dr. Kav'i Lung Balm, which Is sold for
10 and 25 cts., or for roy Dr. Kay j
