EVIDENCE IN BATTEY CASE
Defeme Indicates it Will Cliarge
Whole Matter it Spitework.
NO OUTLIKE MADE BY THE STATE
Rilrirnre Far Iatradaced Coadaed
to Offer of Record la Evidence '
find Their Identification
for that Parnoee.
In his upfiunr statement to the Jury yes
terday iinrnlti Charles M. Harl. counsel
for H. V. Ilattcy, against whom proceedings
to remove him from the office of clerk of
the distrlrl iourt were brought. Indicated
that th fenee would be that the court
and other recorda which Mr. Batter la al
leged to have erased and altered were open
to the public, Including the employee of the
aeveTal abstract companies at all times;
that entries In auoh recorda were made by
r the r peraons than Mr. Battey; that If
t.-.pre were error thay were mistakes which
were liable t be made in the transection
nt to large a volume of business aa waa
done In the office of the clerk of the court,
and, further, that It would not be sufficient
for the state to show errors In the recorda,
but that befora Mr. Battey could bo found
guilty as charged It must be shown that
the erasures and alterations were with
Intent of corruption.
The proceeding sgalnat Mr. Battey, At
torney Harl characterised as an unusual
one. He aald that In the past clerks of
the court had been known to make supple
mental reports, turning over additional
money, before reaching a satisfactory set
tlement with the county, all of whk-h had
been allowed to pass without any actions In
court. In Mr. Battey's case, however, he
said, the supervisors had not been satisfied
with ths reports of the men who hsd
checked this office the same as they had
checked the other offlcee In the county
court house, but had brought In a man
from the outside, whose report had been
given to tha Board of Supervisors without
Mr. Battey's being afforded any oppor
tunity for explanation.' The matter, he
said, had been turned over to the county
attorney before Mr. Battey had been fur
nished with a copy of the report and he
hsd been auspended from office without
bi'lng given a hearing or a chance to make
any explanation, although he had demanded
that such an opportunity be afforded him
before such summary action would be
taken. .
Referring to the report of the accountant
who was brought from Des Moines by the
supervisors to check up Mr. Battey's ac.
founts, Mr. Ilsrl said the report had not
even been verified by an oath. In closing
Mr. Her! said that there might be mis
takes In the transaction of so large a
volume of business as was done In the
clerk's office, hut Mr. Battey stood ready,
as he hsd always done, to make good and
ira'ats up any shortage that might be shown
to exist In Ms accounts with the county.
This, however, Mr. Marl asserted, had not
suited the purpose of the Hoard of Super,
visors, which hsd declined to accept ony
such set llemirnt.
Matemeat for State.
County Attorney Hess was brief In his
opening statement to the Jury. He did
hot go Into detail as 14 what he expected
the evidence, to show, but advised the
Jurors that he would expect them to Judge
tin- guilt or Innocence of the defendant
only from tl.e evidence aa produced In court,
and not with reference to any statements
of occurrences or records of proceedings
in Hie newspapers. He said he expected
to show thst certain money which had
Vcn paid Into the office of the clerk
had not been accounted for and that altera
tions and erasures had been made In tha
records of the office of the clerk during
the Incumbency of the defendsnt.
At the close of the opening statements
H. J. Chambers, the present acting clerk
of the district court, was placed on the
stand to Identify the records and books
of the office which will flfrnre In the trial.
The examination of Mr. Chambers was
mainly as to the Identification of the
handwriting and signature of, Mr. Battey.
Mr. Chambers was on the stand until
about 6 o'clock, when County Auditor
Cheyne was called to Identify the re
ports of fees collected, filed by Mr. Bat
tey with the Board of Supervisors.
DKFER ACTIOW FRCIT SHOW
(rowers Desire to Ascertain ome
tklaar Aboat tk Crop.
At the monthly general meeting of the
Commercial club last night It was decided
to defer making any definite arrangements
for tha proposed horticultural congress to
be held In this city next ttocambnr at the
same time as the National Oorn exposition
In Omaha, until It was known how the
fruit crop In this vicinity and southwestern
Iowa would com out. Much of the success
of tha proposed horticultural congress. It
was decided, depended upun the local fruit
crops and tha active part to be taken by
the local fruit growers, and this being the
case It was deemed beat, at the suggestion
of J. P. Hess, president of the recently
orgsnlsed National Horticultural congress,
to wait until It could be known more defi
nitely what aort of a fruit crop there would
be In this locality.
J. Wilkes Jones, president of the Na
tional Corn exposition, was present snd
gave an Interesting talk on both proposed
exhibitions. He was followed by Mr.
Hesa, who spoke at length on the alms and
objects of the organization of which he la
president.
Beversl fruit growers were In attendance
and from their reports of present conditions
It appears that the grape yield in this
locality will be about normal, the vines
being Injured but little by the late frost.
The berry crop they reported as being all
right, but the crop of cherries will lie only
about 60 per cent. From the orchards on
high ground they estimated only a half
crop would bo obtained.
The following communication from the
Federation of City Improvement clubs was
read and discussed:
The Improvement clubs of this city are
making the best efforts they know how to
establish a S-cent fare hi tween Council
Bluffs snd Omaha, and while the movement

The Improvement clubs hsve prosecuted
the esse before the lnterstste commerce
commission, have made argument in the
way of briefs before that body snd now
Juiie & has been set at Washington for oral
arituments.
The Improvenirnt cluhs of this city desire i
your bodv to Join with them in a reo,uesi

explaining what the club was doing In
this direction. He introduced former Slate
Senator J. T, Brooks of Keokuk county,
who gave it as his opinion that any pro
posed legislation looking towards terminal

On a motion to reconsider the previous
action taken on the application of H. II.

granting these licenses. It was decided to
consult with the police on the matter and
examine the records of the applicants. Tho
board will mtet at 1 p. m. to take final
etlon.
The applications of Matt Jazynka, 739
North Twenty-seventh; Frank Macck, lo
North Twentieth; Christ Hansen, Tnlrty
second and A streets, and John Paul
Thompsen, Th.lrttent.1 and Missouri avenue,
were refused and the city treasurer was
ordered to refund their license money. In
the case of the first two, another man will
be allowed to apply In the same locution,
but the cause of action against the latter
two Is that the saloons are too far on the
outskirts.

the complaint. Rooney was arrested as a
suspect In the Anna Offerman swindle, for
which also Dr. and Mrs. Hester were ar
rested at Buffalo, N. Y. Advices from P.
H. Shields from New York led to the
arrest of Rooney. Later he was released.
The board filed his complaint without
action.

fact that machines on Twenty-fourth street,
especially the cars plying between the two

forty or fifty miles an hour.

BETTER take a second look at
this style for Young Men.
Absolutely defies one to find any
thing common-place or ordinary
about it. Brimful of style, good
taste, shape -.holding ability; and
not a bit loud!
Don't get the idea this is the only
Ederheimer-Stein model we've got.
Have many others. All different.
Can't put them before you in print;
you must, see them to know.

gram.) About 1.(00 people, who crowded
the first and second floors of the New
Grand theater this evening, listened to
speech, s by Governor A. B. Cummins and
George W. Clarke of Adel, candidate for
lieutenant governor.
It had been expected that In Sioux City
the governor might indulge In more per
sonalities than have characterized some of
his other speeches, but he restrained him
self without mentioning any names. He
referred two or three times to George D.
Perkins and the Journal. He aald he was
glad of the cordiality of welcome because
many people in "benighted portions of the
eastern part of the state" had been under
the Impression It might be dangerous for
him to rome to Sioux City.

Sparrows and Elephants
By HERBERT KAUFMAN.
You can't get everybody's money into a specialty shop any
more than you could successfully hunt sparrows and elephants
with the same gun.
The energy it takes to topple over the animal costs too much
to waste on the bird, and bird shot would only prove irritating to
the pachyderm.
You can't appeal to all sorts of people with the same store
without misusing your energy.
If you spend all j our adTertising appropriation trying to sell
merchandise that will appeal to the cheapest trade you will simplgr
drive away the other customer.
You can't organize your business to carry on the. two ex
tremes of merchandising. Even if your buyer can purchase a
near-skin muff just as ably as he can select a Rusian sable cloak,
remember that he draws his money for knowing how to choose
sables. Your basis of expense is not regulated by the lowest
priced goods you sell, but by what it costs you to make your store
attractive enough in its fittings and stock to draw the choicest
trade.
Don't try to be the Colossus of Rhodes straddling both sides
of the price stream, (let on to one bank or the other. Run your
store for the saver or the sender, but don't mis vour game or
you'll miss in your aim.
