charging Willie Brocker with the murder
of Fred Merrill on Sunday last.
Mr. Hess pursued this course, he said,
because he thought that there should be
no opportunity left for anyone to insinuate
that a more rigid investigation ought to
have been made. Mr. Hess stated that lie
hud no desire to be harsh or prosecute the
boy without cause, but he was of the
opinion that the case should be referred
to a higher authority than the coroner's
Jury. He took this position, he said, In
view of the fact that Merrill had stated
to more than one person after he was
wounded that he hud been deliberately shot
and his statement was consequently op
posed to any theory of an accident.
Judge Scott of the superior court fixed
Thursday- morning for holding the prelimi
nary hearing of young Brocker and in the
meantime the youthful defendant is being
confined at the city Jail. .

Supreme Court
BANK TRANSFER TO BE INVESTIGATED
State Hoard Questions Rig-tit to Trans

out Permission.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Bept. 20. (Special. )-The
September term of the supremo court com
menced today with a large attendance of
lawyers from all over the state and a
docket with 400 appeal cojes thereon. The
trm is divided Into four periods, commen
cing todiy, then- October 18,' November 15
and December 13, respectively. In the first
period there are sixty cases noted for oral
argument and two of them were argued
today. The court, therefore, has before it
an extensive docket and prospect . of a
long term. A larger number of cases are
to be argued orally than usual, owing to
the change In the law, which requires the
Judges to decide cases practically as fast
as they are submitted and within a short
time after submission. The class for ad
mission to the bar will not be called until
the beginning 'of the second period. No
opinions were filed by the Judges today
and Justice McCIaln was absent, but will
be here the remainder of the term. The
supreme court rooms, which were badly
damaged by the fire Inst winter, hare been
repaired, but the walls will be without
decoration until the capltol Is completed.
Question a. to Hnnlt Rights.
The state auditor has asked the Security
Trust and Savings bank of this city for an
explanation of it. action In disposing of It.
Fair,
entire deposits to the Des Moines Savings
bank without consultation with the state
banking department, and also as to the
intent of the bank In the future. The
question is raised whether or not n sav
ings bank can continue to do any business
and abandon the savings bank feature.
The Security has announced It will go into
the brokerage" and discount business, but
sold or transferred 31,300,000 of deposits to
the Des Moines bank. It is the opinion of
the state officials that the bank will have
to liquidate or change its incorporation
character If It is to continue business and
a number of Interesting complications are
foreseen.
Much Damage by Storm,
A severe storm passed over the city last
night, and today reports from the suburbs
and surrounding country show that the
storm did probably 310,000 damage here. The
damage was chiefly to trees and small
buildings blown down and to greenhouses.
One owner of greenhouses reports a loss
of 35,000 to his houses. The rain fell fast
and there was some hall but the amount
of rainfall was not great. News from tho
stnto indicates that the storm scattered all
over the eastern part of the state and at
various places did considerable damage.
Frost Did Little Harm.
The weekly weather and crop report, Is
sued this afternoon, says:
The woek was quite variable In tempera
ture, the dally average being 8 to 4 de
grees below normal; but there were several
days of good ripening weather. On the
morning of the 12th the frost line was
reached and on the ifith light to heavy
frost visited all districts in the state. The
greatest Injury to late planted corn is re
ported to hnve occurred on the bottom
lands of the Iowa river valley.- The ' kill
ing" effects of the frost were noted In the
low lands, and limited to tender vegeta
tion and the blades of the most immature
corn plants. Broadly viewed for the whole
state, the actual damage to the corn crop
by frost does not appear to b serious,
though It is not possible at present to de
termine to what extent the quality of the
frosted portion has been Impaired. Reports
indicate that more than half the crop is
now fairly well matured, and that ten days
of favorable weather will assure the safety
