ADJOIItXMEM IN TIHER CASE
State Witnesses Not on Hand When
Wanted to Testify.
An early adjournment was taken yester
day in the trial of Robert Tumor, the
negro charged with the murder of Georgo
Chilson, white, owing to the atate running
out of witnesses. It Is expected that the
state will complete the Introduction of lis
direct evidence this morning. The cross
examination of L. Buchanan, the conduc
tor of the car on which the shooting took
place, and who waa on the stand when
court adjourned Thursday evening, was
completed at the morning session and fol
lowing him six other witnesses were ex
amined by the state.
The principal witness of the day was
Dr. D. Macrae, sr.; who operated on Chil
son at the Woman's Christian Association
hospital Immediately following the shoot
ing. His testimony was to the effect that
the shot must have been fired at very
close range, as the wound was not only
badly burned by the powder to a consider
able depth, but waa of a torn character,
such as Is caused by the explosion of the
powder and not such as would have been
the result had the bullet been fired from
a few feet distance. Dr. Macrae'a evidence
waa In corroboration of the witnesses who
testified that Turner fired the shot while
on the car and only about two feet from
Chilson, instead of from the ground and
a short distance from the car, as testified
by others.
Gordon Sanders, a passenger on the car
and eye-witness of the shooting, testified
that when Turner fired the shot he was
standing on the car and close up to Chilson.
Thomas Richardson, who waa then serv
ing as a special policeman at Cut-Off and
who waa standing on the rear platform of
the car, testified that he did not aee the
ehot fired owing to several persona being
in front of htm, but , to the beat of hia
belief Turner was standing on the ground
when he fired. As to this, however, he
was rot positive. Richardson told of start
ing In pursuit of the negroes after the
shooting and firing at Turner and how
Turner returned his Are and he then re
linquished tha chass.
Charles Danewood, conductor of a west
bound motor which atopped opposite tho
car on which the shooting occurred, tes
tified that he heard the fracas and started
in front of hia car to Investigate and lend
his assistance If needed to the crew of the
other car when he heard a ahot fired. He
also testlried that Just before the shootiuj
hs heard one nisn tu vile language to
another and after the shooting the same
voice exclaimed:
"1 guess that will hold you for awhile."
This testimony corroborated that of Con
ductor Buchanan as to Turner making this
remark after he had shot Chilson.
The other witnesses were H. E. Fallers,
motorman on the car on which the trouble
occurred, and Emmet Danewood, motorman
of the westbound car. Their testimony,
however, was not Important.

panelled at the opening of the term on No
vember 1, but its assembling waa post
poned until November 14 on account of
election. The possibility of the Chilson
murder trial lasting longer than had been
anticipated Induced Judge Green to order

TWO TO ONE FOR ROOSEVELT
Qeta Twice at Many Votes in Iowa as the
Democratic Candidate.
CORN CROP THREE HUNDRED MILLION
Rasior Revived that Either Wllaon or
Shaw or H(h Are to Retire from
Cabinet at Close of Present
Ad Ministration.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DEfl MOINES, Nov. 11. (Special.) Final
unofficial figures were obtained today on
tho vote for president In Iowa, every county
having been heard from on the republican
and democratic vote, ant1 many on the vote
on minor parties. The final results show
that President Roosevelt had a vote Just
two to one for Judge Parker. The total
vote for Roosevelt was 531.570 and that for
Parker 165.869. which gave Roosevelt a plu
rality of 165,711. The total vote reported
for Swallow was 7.2S5. for Debs 7.212 and
for Watson 1.791, but these figures will be
increased by the full reports on these por
tions of the ticket. The returns on th
head of the two leading tickets will be
changed but very little. The total Vote of
the state Is therefore a little more than It
was four years ago.
Estimate of Corn Crop,
While flnal returns have not yet been re
ceived from the crops of Iowa the estimate
of Director Sage of the Iowa weather and
crop bureau to the effect that the 9.000.000
acres of Iowa corn will produce about 300.
000.000 bushels, worth $120,000,000; will not be
changed until the crop is gathered. If at all.
"There has been great exaggeration about
the corn yield In Iowa," aaid Mr. Sage.
The tendency Is always to exaggerate.
The fact Is that the crop Is large and yet
many Individual farmers are dissatisfied
with their own fields. They expect too
much when they figure on a big crop. The
average yield of corn Is smaller than they
count upon. But this year many fleld go
above the average. I think that Pottawat
tamie county will be the banner cotinty
this yesr. from all the reports I have ob
tained, and that it will show a total crop
of over 8.0HO.OOO bushels In that one county
alone." But there are many other places In
the state where the reports show excep
tionally well."
The final figures are not given until In
December. The farmers of Iowa have been
slow to gt into their fields becnuse the
weather has been warm and because the
corn was slow In maturing. In some places
there. Is fear that the corn will be soft and
the farmers will rot put It In the cribs
untl the cold weather arrives.
Lake lied Hearing's In Iowa.
The. state executive council today had an
open session for hearing discussion of lake
bed drainage questions In the state and
considered th case of lake beds In three
counties. These were two In Pocahontas,
two In Humboldt . and one In Woodbury
county. The Woodbury county case Is
peoullar In that the lake to be drained Is
one which Is to be part of a general drain
age System, and before the county can
proceed with this system it will be neces
sary to have the lake drained by permis
sion of the state officials. In ona case,
that of the famous Iowa lake, In Hum
boldt county, the county decided that there
waa no question before the council, aa
tills lake was sold as swamp land and In
due, time will be patented to the present
owners. In some other cases the lakes will
be ordered drained.
Tuberculosis Data Gathered.
Tho State Board of Control has Just com
pleted the gathering of data regarding
tuberculosis in Iowa, and Judge Klnne
presented to the state Conference of chari
ties and corrections in Sioux City the re
sults. The board obtained a record of 3,300
cases reported aa having been treated In
Iowa last year by 1,600 physicians. Of
these It was found that there were about
600 more females than males, that two
thirds of the cases were of persons with
Indoor occupations, and nearly one-third
were among foreign-born persons. The
board estimates the total number sf cases
in Iowa at 7.500. The facta are being
gathered preliminary to a report to the
legislature on the advisability of a state
retreat for consumptives, which Is being
strongly urged.
Price of Tar Bath.
Claiming that he waa severely burned
by a hot tar bath, wholly Involuntary on
his part, C. H. Havllln has begun suit in
the district court against the Des Moines
Ice company for $5,000 damages.
Havllln claims that while employed about
the building of defendants' he was se
verely burned by having boiling hot tar
poured over his face and hands. He
claims that his bath, was due to the negli
gence of the Des Moines Ice company, and
makes claim for $6,000 damages because of
his Injuries.
Cabinet Retirement Rumors.
Much credence is placed here In reports
emanating from tha cast that one or both
of the Iowa members of the cabinet of
Prsident Roosevelt may retire at the
close of the present term. In the case of
Secretary Wllaoti It has been felt for some
time that, while the department haa been
admirably managed, the president would
prefer a younger man In the cabinet at
that place; while In the case of Secretary
Shaw it has been a matter of common
rumor for some time that the president
and hia secretary of the treasury have not
been in full accord as to policies for some
time. However, nothing definite Is known,
and it is regarded aa certain that Iowa
will havfc at I'ist or.s member in the next
cabinet.
Balllett Returns for Trial.
