BATTEY ASRS NEW TRIAL Misconduct of Jury One of Reasons Set Out in Moti6n. JTJEORS TALK OVER TELEPHONE Allegation la Also Made That the Coart Erred la Ordering Check ad Cash Books Prodared la Coart. In the motion for a new trial tn the case against II. V. Battey to remove him from the office of clerk of the district court of Pottawattamie county, which was filed yesterday, misconduct on the part of the jury and erroneous Instructions on the part of the court are aJleged. The charge of misconduct on the part of the Jury Is supported by an affidavit from James Mc Robert, one of the Jurors. In his affidavit Juror Mi-Robert, after reciting that for the convenience of the Jury, Its deliberations were, on order of the court, conducted In the district court room where the numerous books, records snd papers Introduced at the trial could be handled to a better advantage, states that the door leading Into what Is known as the ladles' waiting room was not locked, although the Instructions of the court were that all doors opening Into the court should be locked. In this room Mr. Robert states waa a telephone and that there was a passage from this room to another room In which another telephone la located. As to these telephones Mr. McRobert says they were used by all of the members of the Jury except J. 8. Miller; that the Jurors telephoned to parties outside of the court room, soma of them using the tele phone several times during the period they were shut up In the room. Further Mr. McRobert asserts that at times the Jurors uaed 'he- telephone without the bailiff or any other member of the Jury being near thtm. He also says that Frank C. Rlker, one of the Jurors, was called to the tele phone and that while answering the call Mr. Rlker closed the door between the court room and the room In which the telephone Is located. Outside Matter Brought In. Another statement by Juror McRobert in his affidavit Is to the effect that one of the Jurors stated In the ' presence of the other members that the defendant, H. V. Battey, had cheated one of his neighbors, Land that the Juaor used this as am argu- men against Mr. uauey, ana as a reason for believing that he was guilty of altering the records of his office. As to the alleged errors on the part of the court the motion states: The court erred In ordering and requiring the defendant to produce his private cash and ledger books, for the reason that they were personal and private papers, were not records of the court, and no proper pro ceedings had been taken by plaintiff to compel their production as evidence, and the said order was in violation of the con stitutional rights of the defendant provid ing against unreasonable aearch and seixure. The court erred in instructing the jury that tha burden of proof waa on the de fendant upon the question of change and alteration of the records of the court, for the reason that the burden of proof upon said question waa upon the stage and not upon the defendant. The date for arguing the motion for a new trial has not been set, but It is under stood to be the desire of both sides to have It disposed of as soon as possible. From members of the Board of Super visors It was learned yesterday that no action, looking to the appointment of a successor to Mr. Battey, would be taken by the board before the regular meeting In June or before the motion for a new trial was disposed of..

The supervisors of Pottawattamie and Harrison counties succeeded yesterday morning In securing, after a conference with the attorneys of the parties Interested, a modification of the injunction restraining them from proceeding further In the matter of paying for the drainage ditches now nesting completion. Tha modified order, while restraining the Joint board from accepting the Willow creek, Boyer No. 1 or Boyer No. 1 dttchea. permits the payment up to SO per cent of the contract price tr each. contract was entered into with Pollard ft Campbell to continue the present Boyer eut-off ditch ta the river at T cen.a per eubio yard. The new opening is to avoid running the ducb to the river at a right rngle. The Harrison county supervisors, jf whom three were present at the Joint meeting, voted against the contract, but the Pottawattamie county supervisors, be ing five In number, csrried the day. The contract for the completion of the Ooyer No. 1 ditch was extended to June 13. . Another ditch, to be known as the Beyer No. I Is to be constructed and for thta bids will be received up to noon of June 19, on which day the Joint board will meet and open the bids at I p. m. PITTIXO CRIMP IX SALOON) Those Operating at Manawa Maat Obey Malrt Law. The saloon business at Manawa will not be as profitable this summer ss it haa been In past seasons. The saloons will be re quired to comply with me provisions of the mulct law the same as the saloons In the city. The sale of liquor will not be permitted after 10 o'clock a night and the saloons will have to keep closed on Sundays and all -holidays. Including the Fourth of July aifd Labor Day, which are as a rule the big days at Lake M inawa. The sale of liquor outside the saloon buildings will not be permitted at Manawa. Persons desiring to take a drink will have to do so within the building and tables and chairs on the outside wfH not be per mitted. "Tbe saloons at Manawa will have to comply with the provisions of the mulct law the same as the saloons In the city are required to do," stated County At torney Hess yesterday when asked If It was the Intention of the county ' authori ties to enforce the law this summer at Manawa. Heretofore, while the saloons In Council Bluffs have been required to keep closed on Sundays, those outside the en closure at Manawa were permitted to keep open. The proprietor of one of the three sa loons at Cut-Off called on Mayor Maloney a day or two ago with the request that he be permitted to keep his place open on Sundays, as It was practically the only day on which there was any trade to speak of there. "I have nothing to do with the matter," replied the mayor. "Tou had better go and get permission from Mr. Stuart, president of the Law Enforcement league." The saloonman, not realising that the mayor was handing him anything but the straight goods, hied himself to the office of Attorney Stuart, to whom he stated his errand. A little while after the saloonman called again on Mayor Maloney, "Well, what did Mr. Stuart say?" aaked the mayor. "He told me that I could not open on Sundays- and that It would be best for me not to attempt to," replied the saloonman with an Injured air. "Well, that's strange," remarked Mayor Maloney as he turned aside to hide a smile. Prealdent Stuart of the Law Enforcement league, while as yet he has not Issued any formal edict to the effect, has intimated In plain language that where liquor Is sold in houses of ill-fame and other resorts of like character the mulct tax will have to be paid. An Informal notice to this effect, it Is understood, has already been served upon the municipal authorities. The latter, however, take the position that the matter Is properly one for the county attorney to attend to. PROGRAM FOR MEMORIAL DAY """""" Clyde Gennna; Jo Take the Place of Hia Father.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) PES MOINES, la... May 2i-(Speclal.)- Congressman J. A. T. Hull reached Des Moines today from Washington and was not long In saying that he Intended to vote for Senator Allison, but aa to whether he would stump the Seventh district for Al lison remained to be determined after a consultation with his friends. Captain Hull reached the city at 7 this morning and was met at the depot by political friends who apprised him of the fact that Governor Cummlna had declared himself for Prouty. Congressman Hull was seen at the home of Dr. H. C. Potter, a relative, soon after. "I am going to vote foY Senator Allison," said Captain Hull, "but I am not going to stump the state for him unless well, unless my friends think It best. I am not sur prised that Governor Cummins has declared himself against me. I have never con tributed to his campaign fund. I have never made any fight for him. I am a republican and do not believe in stirring up the mud in my own party. But I don't see what right any man running for the United States senate has In telling people how to vote for congressmen." There is a well grounded rumor that Allison men in the Seventh district will insist that Hull do something for Allison. They are pointing out to him that Cum mins is doing all ha can against Hull and that Hull cannot gain anything by re maining silent and they believe he will gain by apeaklng out for Allison. Tha strong Allison men rather intimate that they will see to it that Hull does gain If he speaks out, but will not gain If he doesn' t.

NONE FIT FOR FOOD i PURPOSES Salvage as KreaBe Worth Onlr Small Fraction of Oriarlnal Value Good Government Leastae Plana a Dinner. The Omaha Tacking company was able yentorJay to fret at most portions of the building; which burnecf last Friday night. The lower floor of the building still con tained some meat which was not entirely destroyed. Tfie meat was at once hauled to the Cudahy packing plant, where It is being tanked for the Omaha Packing com pany. In this way several thousand dol lars will be saved. The meat is all tainted with a strong, resinous smoke, and will be fit for little except soap and axle grease. Some of it can be osed as a lard oil for mechanical purposes, None of the meat will ever be fit for' food. The Cudahy chemists, however, are making a number of tests to ascertain the exact value of the salvage. It is likely that about three fourths of a cent per pound will be all It Is worth, while before the fire it would average 10 or 12 cents per pound. The ma chinery of the Ice plant was damaged in some of the leas strong parts of the mechanism, but it will not require a great amount to get the machines In order. The tanks for freeslng will have to be partially rebuilt at least. The company will erect a building capable of protecting this plant. The rest of the damaged tiulldlngs will be taken down' as soon as possible In the same manner In progress with three buildings before the fire. The hope Is expressed by prominent men In packkng circles that some other large packing firm may find tlUs a good location for a plant. Woman Jumps Into I'oad. Cora Benfer and Sue Davla were ar rested last night in a state of intoxication In which they had engaged In serious dis turbance of the peace, and it is said that one of them tried to commit sulrlds by jumping Into a duck pond at Twenty fifth and 8 streets. The pond was not deep enough to drown any grown person, and the cries of the second woman brought assistance and the other was pulled out, suaked with muddy water. They were both placed under arrest and charged with being Intoxicated. Another story of the duck pond Is that the woman who fell In did so accidentally. In either case the water was Just as wet. She wss Obliged to spend the night In her wet clothes at the city jail. Conanlt Over Jail Meddle. The consultation between Mayor Frank Koutsky and the attorneys of the Cham pion Iron works resulted In a better un derstanding of the jail situation and It is thought by the advice of the chief of po lice and the mayor the city coun'il will be prevailed upon to come to an agreement so that the jail may be put In service. The chief never liked the pran of having all the Individual cells separate. He wanted one large room at least, . so that the lesser criminals would 'be allowed a little more consideration than the rough element. The ?atter class numbers com paratively few, and for these a few strong cells must be provided, but the chief al ways opposed muktng all the cells so strong. Good Government Leaaue Dinner.

Back In Style-Forty-three years ago a young Irish lnd arrived In New York City fresh from the "ould aod." He paid 25 pounds for a Steerage passage and arrived In the ne world with hut S pounds In his pocket ss his capital. "I'll never forget It." he said, speaking of the Incident. "It was the duy President Lincoln was buried and I never saw ao many people In a procession and the whole city was In black." This Irish lad of forty-three years ago will In a few days return to Irelsnd for th first time since he came. He will go to look over the old home and see his boy hood chums who, like he, have grown gray tn the long stretch of years. But he will not be a steerage. passenger this time. He will go In a first class state room on a magnirtcent steamer. During his sojourn In this land of opportunity he has reared a family of eight children, bringing them up aa creditable cltisens and besides haa accumulated 1,i0 acres of Nebraska land and has a anug little fortune. This Irish lad Is Pat Murphy, well known In Dodge county. He la a fair sample of what our foreign-born cltisens achieve here. Ills friends wish him hon voyage and safe re turn, though he aays there Is danger that he may be ahut up over there "for talking too much," and he will ariange In advance with the American consul st Dublin to rescue him It it comes to that.

PRONOUNCED HIS Whole Body Raw with Eczema Life was Intolerable Was EverT Incased in Plaster Discharged from Hospitals as Hopeless. SUFFERED 14YEARS CURED BY CUT1CURA " From the ago of three months until fifteen years old, my son Owen's Ufa was maae intoler able by ecaeina In its worst form. Ba was all right until a red ran broke out on his fore head, but wa war not alarmed at first. Vary soon, however, tha rash began to spread over his head and shoulders, and it caused him trmi discomfort. I look him to a doctor and tried half a dozen other treatment, all with the sarna result: no improvement at ail. Tha disease gradually spread until nearly very part of his body waa quite raw. Wa had to strap him down in bed, for he used to tear himself dreadfully In his sleep. The agony he want through is quite beyond words. No one thought wo would rear him. Tha regimental doctor, a vary clever man, pronounced the caao hopeless; al least, he said tha only hope was that ha might, if ha lived long enough, otttgrow it to soma extent. We had him in hospitals four times and he waa pronounced one of the worst cae, if not tha worst, ever admitted. From each ha was dis charged as inourablej In fact he got worse under tha successive treatments. At one hospital they incased him in f taster, and this seemed to aggravata he sorennss terribly. Ha luuled so badly that no one liked to go near hint and his life was a burden to him. Wa kept trying remedy after remedy, but we had gut almost past hoping for a euro. Six months ago we purchased a set of Cutioura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent Fills and persevered with them. Tha result waa truly marvelous and to-day ha la perfectly cured, his skin not having a blemish on it anywhere. Mrs. Lily Hedge, 61.
