J. Brown, the saloon crusader from
Kansas, appeared yesterday morning In

had convened the March termn and Im
paneled the grand Jury.
Approaching the Judge Mr. Brown said,
"I am the plaintiff in all of the saloon in
junction suits and appear In all of them. "
"We would like to have twenty days In
which to plead," Interjected Attorney J. J.
Stewart, who appears in soma of the saloon
cases, directing hla remarks to the stranger
from Kansas.
"If It is agreeable to tho court," promptly
responded Mr. Brown, and accordingly the
court ruled that this time be given In
which to plead in all the saloon Injunction
suits where appearances have been en
tered. Mr. Brown then Inquired from the court
when a hearing would be had on the mo
tions filed by County Attorney J. J. Hess
to strike his petitions from the docket on
the grounds that he was not entitled to
appear as attorney In court. The court
stated he was unable to fix any definite
dute.
"And if I am not here?" Inquired Mr.
Brown.
"We will not take any advantage of your
absence," remarked Mr. Hess, and this
brought to a close Mr. Brown's first ap
pearance in the district court of Pottawat
tamie county In the dual role of plaintiff
nnd attorney for plaintiff. To the members
of the bar and attaches of the court house
present, it was noticeable that Mr. Brown

Charles Sutherland, a youth of 19, were
taken Into custody yesterday morning by
the police on complaint of the girl's mother,
Mrs. Eva Smith, living at 21 South Fif
teenth street. Monday evening Mrs. Smith
learned that her daughter and young
Sutherland had planned to elope to Mis
souri Valley, and she asked the assistance
of the police to head them off. The young
couple, however, did not go to Missouri
Valley, but were located early yesterday
morning at Sutherland's home on Avenue
E, near Ninth street, by Detective Weir.
They had spent the night In the house alone,
Sutherland's parents being away from
home.
On an Information filed in the Juvenile
division of the district court by her mother
the girl was taken before Judge Wheeler,
who committed her to the reform school
at Mltchellville. Young Sutherland Is still
behind the bars at the city Jail, charged
with enticing the girl away from her
home.
Mrs. Smith over the telephone from the
sheriff's office requested permission to have
her daughter stop over night at home
promising to bring her back to the county
Jail the next morning. When this request
was denied Mrs. Smith became very much
excited and told Judge Wheeler that she
"would do for Sutherland the first time she
met him, even If she had to go to the
penitentiary for life for It."
James O'Neal was made foreman of the
grand Jury, with Miss El M. Colburn
clerk and David Mottai as bailiff.

number of law causes docketed for this
term, ordered that the petit Jury be no

NUMEROUS AMENDMENTS VOTED DOWN
Kla-ht Is Cnmlna- 1 p Over the Creation

Auditor.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Ia.. March 19. (Special.)
The primary election bill was passed by the
senate today, 46 to 2. after an all day dis
cussion. The house had laid It over for
a day to wnlt on the action of the senate,
which considered It from 9 o'clock until
finished. The changes made In the bill
were largely to make It conform to the
changes previously made. The only votes
In the negative were by Pe Armand and
Nichols. Senator Crosnly was not able to
be present.
When the bill was taken up. Senator De
Wolf offered the democratic proposition to
eliminate the party affiliation proposition
by striking out the first reference to that
matter. He spoke for this measure at
some length and was opposed by Warren
and Peterson. The amendment waa de
feated, all the democrats but Senator Prud
den voting for it.
Senator Jones offered an amendment to
change Rllghtly the manner of giving party
affiliation the first time, requiring the voter
to rcclare what party he had affiliated with
before. He Insisted that In Its present form
the hill lets down the bars to all kinds of
fraud. Senator Peterson called attention
to the fact that In his amendment, Jones
had not provided for first voters or Inde
pendent voters. The amendment got eight
votes Jones, Gale, Blenkley, Nichols,
Jamison. McKlveen, Jackson and Elerlck.
An amendment by Jones to change the
time when a notice of change of party af
filiation can be filed from ton days to ninety
days, was defeated without division.
Senntor Moon offered the amendment to
make It apply to cities of the first class,
and this wns adopted.
Senator Saunders secured the adoption of
an amendment to authorize the county com
mittees to remove committeemen for neg
lect of duty or failure to support their party
ticket.
Various and sundry small amendments
were made so the bill would conform to the
plan of having It a 35 per cent proposition
and not to apply to Judicial nominations,
thus enlarging the powers of the conven
tions in making nominations.
Senator Stookey offered an amendment
to have the state pay all the costs of the
election; defeated.

providing that after November 1, 1907, street

Klsht for Insurance Department.
Signs of a determined fight for the cre
ation of an Insurance department were
shown today when an attempt waa made
by Jones of Montgomery In the house to
get consideration of the bills switching
the banking department from the auditor's
office to the state treasurer's office and
changing some of the other departments.
Mr. Jones stated that the vote on the bill
would be a decision on the insurance de
partment. If a department of insurance
is created separate from the state auditor's
office there will be no need of changing
the banking department and municipal ac
counts department from the auditor's of
fice. Friends of the proposition to create
a separate department of Insurance were
strong enough to force delay considering
the matter by ordering the bills engrossed,
which will take two or three days.

SENSATION IN HERMANN CASE
Dr. Loomta Identifies Letters Rrlatlngr
to Aliened Falsification of
Accounts.
WASHINGTON. March 19 Dr. Clark E.
Loomls, who Is under Indictment In Ore
gon In what Is known as the Hermann
I'uter conspiracy case, and also In a
fencing case, was the principal witness In
the Hermann trial here today. Dr. Ixwmls
was produced by the government nnd his
testimony was regarded ns Important to
show, as United States Attorney Baker
said, that Mr. Hermann had reason to
destroy his letter books, for which he Is
being tried.
Dr. Loomls said he had been a special
agent for the land office In Oregon during
the administration of President Harrison
and was reinstated soon after President Mc
Klnley waa Inaugurated, having been out
during the Cleveland administration. He
was dismissed shortly after Mr. Hermann
retired from the land office. He Identified
about twenty-five letters which constituted
a correspondence between himself and Mr.
Hermann as commissioner. Nearly all of
the letters of Mr. Hermann, the witness
said, he had marked and regarded as per
sonal and confidential and learned for the
first time today that they had been placed
In the files of the land office. The original
answers from Mr. Hermann were secured
by the government from the papers of Dr.
Loomls. A series of the letters related to
alleged falsification of accounts by Dr.
Loomls and in one letter he begged to be
allowed to resign.
Dr. Loomls admitted that he had "held
up" S. A. D. Puter for $oo0 with which to
defend himself for certain reports he had
made on twelve of Puter's homestead
claims and that he had previously received
a like amount from Puter as expense money
for examining and reporting on these
claims. Puter has been convicted In the
case, which Is known as the "Seven
Eleven" case. He Is now here to testify for
the government at the present case.
On cross-examination Dr. Loomls said he
had not Informed Hermann that he received
this money.
"I would not have darea to," he ex
claimed. "I would have been glad enough
not to let anyone know about It."
