CHARLES CITY. la.. Jan. . (Special
Telegram.) James Cullen, a wealthy con
tractor or this city, killed his wife and 15-year-old
stepson at 4 o'clock this morning
at his home on East Clark street. He first
murdered his wife with a large knife, then
endeavored to murder his stepson in the
same way. He went to where the boy was
sleeping and the' boy felt the blade of the
knife touch his throat and bravely battled
with his stepfather and gained possession
of the knife. Boarders In the house were
aroused as was also Cullerv's brother, Rich
ard Cullen, a banker of Warren, 111., whom
Cullen had summoned by wire yesterday
afternoon and who arrived at the Cullen
home an hour before the tragedy. This
gentleman. Prof. Rudd and Royal Jacobs
got the knife away from Cullen and. the
boy started to summon the marshal. As
he started to leave by the front door Cullen
shot him twice, killing him Instantly.
Cullen then went across the street to the
home of Dr. F. E. Hlrsch. president of the
college, only a few steps away and re
turned again to his own house and It Is
supposed shot himself -twice in the head.
He then went again to the home of Dr.
Hlrsch and asked admission, which was
denied him. Ha then went down town and
was arrested by Sheriff W. W. Bchermcr-
horn rnd Marshal Will Braend as he was
on his way to see a doctor.
Coroner E. G. Dennis empanelled a Jury,
corn-istlng of Jack Lawrence, Thomas
Kelley and J. L Johnson, who took the
evidence of Dr. Hirsch, Richard Cullen,
Prof. Rudd, Royal Jacobs and Drs. W. H.
Seymour and E. P. Hummel, and their
verdict waa one of double murder. Cullen
Is In the county Jail. The grand Jury Is
In session and he probably will have a
hearing at this term before Judge Kelley
who tried the famous Busse case In Butler
county several years ago. Cullen was al
ways known as a man of bad temper and
was somewhat eccentric. He was especi
ally a crank on the subject of temperance
He was a man who never took a drink Of

TALK OF HOLDING IT IN HCUSE CHAMBER
Evidence Acenmnlatea that Jory List
In Office of the t'onnty Andltor
Has Been Tampered with
and Karnes Erased.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINES, Jan. .-(Speclal. )-Ar
rangements are being made for the Inaugu
ration of Oovernor Cummins and Lieuten
ant Governor Uarst to take place Thursday
or next week, January 17. Lieutenant Gov
ernor Herrlott has appointed a committee
of five senators to act In making the ar
rangements for Ue Inaugural. There Is
no one In authority to appoint a house
committee to co-operate with them and
hence the senate committee will have all
the arrangementa to make. This commit
tee enneists of Dowell, Jackson. Crossley.
Olllllland, Wade and Wilson of Clinton.
The legislature will meet Monday and or
ganise. Tuesday It will count the vote on
governor and lieutenant governor, Wednes
day the governor's biennial message will
be read, and Thursday the Inaugural will
be held. There Is some discussion this
year of changing the custom and holding
the Inaugural In the hall of the house In
stead of in Foster's opera house. It Is
contended that with the Inaugural In the
house chamber the Inaugural parade can
be dispensed with and those who cannot
gain admittance to the hall ran st least
be comfortable In the, corridors and ro
tunda of the state house, while If held In
Foster's opera house there are no auoh
facilities. Governor Jackson was Inaugu
rated in the rotunda on the main floor of
the capitol building and Governor Larra
bee was Inaugurated for one of hla terms
In the same way. All otber Inaugurals
for many years have been in one of the
opera houses down town.
Ruih Benedict, clerk of the house, will
clrculute a petition fixing Saturday after
noon as the time for holding the house
republican caucus. The petition will be
circulated as soon as more members reach
the city. This Is the time selected at the
last session and allows the disappointed
candidates for appointment as employes to
return to their homes before Sunday. The
senate win as usual caucus Saturday even
ing. Not since the hard times of 1904
have there been aa few applicants for po
sitions as now. During the hard times the
applicants for legislative positions flocked
to the hotels of Des Moines more than a
week before the session opened. They
seemed as numerous as the legislators
themselves. Every year since then they
have grown less till this year there are
many positions for which there Is but ons
candidate. There will be very little change
In the senate employes and not a great
many in the house employes.
Minority Report Coming.
Hon. N. B. Kendall of Monroe county
reached the city today and was at once
the center ot attraction fer all seeking
committee appointments In the next house.
Mr. Kendall was unable to put off his
petitioners with the statement that he
might not be elected speaker, for he Is
the - only candidate. Mr. Kendall stated
that the minority report of the insurance
commission, which he and Representative
Jones of Montgomery county are preparing,
will be filed in a day or two.
Shenandoah Wants Help.
Senator William D. Jamleson of Page
county reached the city today. He at once
went to the railroad commission office and

Names Had Been Changed.
Unmistakable evidence that names on the
lists returned by the election Judges for
Jury service had been erased and other
names written in was disclosed today in
the investigation before Judge Hugh Bren
nan of the district court. The list as made
up from the certificates of the election
Judges by' the county auditor were brought
into court. Names had been erased and
others Written in. County Auditor Lew
.Burnett was asked to explain the erasures
and said he oould not account for them
other than the supposition that the changes
had been made by a malefactor, or else by
the' Board of Supervisors who had certified
the lists from the returns of the election
Judges. The lists had been in his possession
in his desk In the court house, but the desk
was not always locked. The list as first
handed to him did not have tha erasures.
A. large number of other equally as flag

hearing. '

CONGRESSMEN IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK. Jan. 8. The congressional
committee of twelve, headed by Congress
man McKlnlay of California, who have been
Inspecting the work on the Isthmian canal,
arrived here today on the steamer Panama
from Colon.
Among other passengers on the Panama
were Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Whitman, who

Three young sons ot Mr. Squires also were
on the steamer.
The members of the committee said ob
servations were that work on the canal Is
progressing favorably and that the em
ployes appear well satisfied.
In speaking of his visit to the Isthmus,
Senator Flint said:
"I found everything In excellent shape
and work progressing very favorably on
most economical lines.. The men sra well
housed and fed, but the chief difficulty of
the future, tq my mind, Is the building pt
new houses. I am emphatically of the
opinion there Is absolutely no necessity for
the employment of Chinese labor in com
pleting ths building of the canal."
Congressman McKlnlay, telling of his Im
pressions of the visit, said:
"We Investigated thoroughly ths work
done and the conditions prevailing on the
Isthmus. I am satisfied that there la not
the slightest necessity for the employment
of Chinese on ths work. The canal ions Is
becoming healthy and it seems to me to
present a line Held for American workmen
without employing Chinese. The work Is
progressing satisfactorily and I feel as
sured that the canal will be completed
within a reasonable length of time." -Congressman
Smith of Illinois said:
"The work seems to be going along very
smoothly and after making a very close
examination of the conditions prevailing
we found that the . employes were thor
oughly satisfied."
Congressman F. B. Dickson ot Illinois
said he was opposed to the employment of
Chinese labor on the canal. He aald ths
men there now were doing good work, were
content and resent the criticisms regard
