Iteferendant Vota In Dh Molaea
on the (laratlon of Permit
tins; Saloons.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DK8 MOINES, la., Oct. 22.-8peelal.-The
Iowa supreme court today decided
definitely that a husband Is a relative"
of his wife. Tho cusp was one involving
the responsibility of a husband to the state
for the expanse of keeping an Insane wife
st a stale hospital. It was the case of
V Wapello county against Fred Eikelberg.
Resistance had been made to'tho effort of
the state to collect from the husband for
the keep of the Insane wife and one princi
pal ground relied upon was that the law
provides for' charging up this cost to the
relatives and that a hucbsnd Is not a
. relative. l.ut'thc. word indicates blood re
lation The court refused to entertain this
view of the case and hereafter the state
will find It easier to get back the cost of
keeping Insane persons at hospitals.
The court reversed a case appealed from
Judge Evans, who has Just come upon the
bench, the case being a damage case
against . the city of Osoeola for closing a
street. The supreme court takes the view
that the right of access to a street or
highway Is one of those rights which can
not 1 taken away without compensation
lind the amount of compensation is the
only question which the courts can con
sider. 1 '
The court decided the following casus to
day: J. H. Cremcr, appellant, vs. Wapello
county; Wapello county; affirmed.
Estate of Lydia Douglas vs. Delmara
Douglas, appellant; Lee county; affirmed.
Wapello county vs. Fred Klkelberg, ap
pellant; Keokuk county; affirmed.
Jennie Neeley vs. Town of Mapleton, ap
pellant; Monona county; affirmed.
P. B. Hldgeway. appellant, vs. City of
.Osceola; Clarke county; reversed.
Camn Jeffrey vs. William Tacka
berry, appellant; Woodbury county; af
firmed. -Vesrllaence at Railway Crossings,
The supreme court Insists that no hard
and fast rule shall be luld down as to the
duly of a person In keeping watch to
avoid accidents at railroad crossings. The
court refused to aid a Slgourney mall car
rier who deliberately drove upon the track
ahead of a train, after making sure no
train was In sight when he was four rods
sway, then not looking again.,
. ftaloon Problem Worries.
- It Is anticipated that there will be an
Interesting time before the new Des
Moines city commission next week when
Superintendent Barber of the State Anti
Saloon league asks that the first steps
be taken looking to a submission to the
voter of Des Moines of a resolution or
.order having for Its purpose the closing of
all Des Moines saloons. Mr. Barber will
go before the council nixt Tuesday, so he
says, and try to get action. The lawyers
of the city differ as to whether this action
can be taken and as to whether under the
Initiative of the new commission plan a
policy can be fastened upon the city. It
Is not quite certain yet that the ministerial
association will take up the plan and adopt
It as their own. but the sentiment among
the ministers is largely favorable to some
action. , They believe that with the recent
agitation the situation Is more favorable
to closing the siloons than for a long time,
but they arc not certain as to the ad
visability of puftlng the new city govern
ment In an embarrassing position by usklng
rote on the question.

More Money for the College.
The report of the trustees of the State
college at Ames Just made asks for ap
propriations from the next legislature
amounting to about 1300,000. Half of this
' Is needed for the proposed gymnasium, and
' ths remainder for a new dormatory for
the women. It Is proposed also that the
trustees expend 1150.000 In building a new
veterinary hospital, the same to be paid
for out of the mlllage taxes coming In. It
Is expected thst large sums will be asked
from tha legislature for the State University
at Iowa' City, and the Normal school at
Cedar Falls. The state administration has
keen harshly criticised for ths expenditures
already made at all these places, but un
doubtedly much larger sums will be asked
In ths future.
The democrat, In the Msdiaon-Adalr sen
atoria) district failed to put up a senatorial
candidate, but now want recognition. Three
persons were voted for, each one receiving
one vote each. The county committees met
and declared Oeorge M. Pratt of Wlnterset
to be the nominee. The secretary of state
refused to recognise the claim, as no con
tention was held. Now the democrats have
gone Into court to compel recognition of
Pratt as the senatorial nominee.

NEW TORK, Oct. 22. In the testimony
at the trial of Charles W. Morse and his
co-defendant. Alfred H. Curtis, who are
charged before Judge Hough In the crimi
nal branch of the United States court with
conspiracy and violation of the national
banking laws, was Introduced today the
narpe of Miss Kate A. Wilson, secrctsry
to Mr. Mor, and the prosecution produced
witnesses who testified to large loans made
by the National Bank of North America,
a Morse Institution, to Miss Wilson. Ed
win Moxey, a government bank examiner,
who has proved at this hearing that he Is
a wizard at figures, was the principal wit
ness relative to the big loans made to tho
financier's secretary.
Endless Chain Broken.
Summed up, his testimony was as fol
lows: "On her unsupported note Morse
would loan Miss Wilson a sum of money.
Miss Wilson's note would be cashed by
the National Bank of North America and
with the proceeds stock of the American
Ice company would be purchased. Then
the Ice stock would be used to secure an
other loan from the bank. With the money
thus secured bank stock would be pur
chased and the bank stock aided In sup
porting the Ice stock pools In which Morse,
and other financiers were Interested. The
failure to raise the price above par was
what caused the break In the endless
chain." .
The lawyers for tha defense objected
repeatedly to the line of questions asked
the witness by the government lawyers,
but Judge Hough sustained the prosecu
tion and the above description of the Wil
son loans was put upon the records, piece
by piece, until the chain was complete.
For the first time since her husband hss
been on trial, Mrs. Clementine Dodge
Morse appeared In the court room. Mrs.
Curtis has been at hfer husband's side every
day. Mrs. Morse was attired In a gown of
blue. She took a seat beside her husband
Inside the railing and appeared deeply In
terested In the proceedings.
Calvin Austin, president of the Esstern
Steamship company of Boston, was a wit
ness in the afternoon. He testified that
Mr. Morse Induced him to buy 1.250 shares
of Ice stock, for which Mr. Austin gave In
payment a note for SIOO.000. The witness
produced a letter signed by Mr. Morse,
guaranteeing Mr. Austin from all Idas.
Mr. Austin says that he subsequently
learned that his note was discounted at
the National Bank of Notrth America. Just
before this Information reached him, tho
witness testified that miss Ks,te Wilson
came to his office with a letter from Mr.
Morse asking him to surrender the certifi
cates for 1.250 shares of Ice stock.
Mr. Austin endorsed the certificate in
blank and surrendered It.
Then. Mr. Austin said, Mr. Curtis, presl
dent of the National Bank of North Amer
ica, told him his note had been discounted
at his bank. Mr. Curtis Informed him, he
said, that Charles T. Barney, one of the
directors, suggested that he (Curtis) see
Austin and ask him either to pay the note
or furnish collateral.
"I told Mr. Curtis that Mr. Morse had
but the loan In the bank and that he
would have to take care 'of It," said Mr.
Austin. He added that Mr. Curtis told
htm that Mr. Barney threatened to resign
from the board of directors If the note
was not taken up.
Mr. Austin testified that Mr. Curtis
pushed pen and Ink toward Mr. Barney
with which to sign his signature.
"And did he sign It?" the witness was
asked.
"He did not,' was the reply.
"Could you have made good the note?"
was asked.
"I could not, that Is, not without the Ice
stock," replied Mr. Austin.
I'pon cross-examination of the witness
by the defense It was brought out that
Mr. Austin had been In many deals wlth
Mr. Morse and that he had derived largo
profits. It was also shown that his salary
ranged from $10,000 to $30,(00 a year. The
lawyers for the defense tried to show that
Mr. Austin would havo been well able
to pay the note. Witness admitted owning
large- amounts of stock.
Mr. Moxey was recalled to the witness
stand at this point and testified thst Mr.
Morse discounted the Calvin Austin, note
for $100,000 and a note of James R. Keene
for $-J3,Ono and received a cashier's check
for $128,000. Several other minor witnesses
simply called to corrobarate and complete
testimony were . placed on the stand and
the trial was adjourned until tomorrow.

Fire Drill at Lowell School.
n-i.. i.it irhml was tried on a false.
alarm of firs yesterday by Chief Oarralt.
with the result that the pupils, under the
drill Instituted by Miss M:r.y Fltzarrald
clesred the building safely in iori
.t K.,t MIm Kitrarerald knew thai the
alarm was to be sprung, but although th-
tenchers were much frtgntenea inr a u.u
ment they all kept thc-li heads and sU.rtcJ
the children steadily on the fire drill march
which trok them out In excellent order,
though many pale faces howed the strain
they were under. Chief Oarratt encountered
thi Janfor In one of the halls rusnlng
abovit to locste the fire. He asked him If
he knew how to use a flic extinguisher.
He replied. "Pull It six times and repeal
In thirty seconds." He was confusing Hie
fire extinguisher with the alarm box. His
excitement was a contrast to the coolness
of the young women. A similar test will
be tried at several other schools, especially
where the exits are wide and no sreat
danger of a stampede will result. It Is be
lieved that If an occasional false alarm
la turned In the pupils will in case of real
