In a voluntary petition of bankruptcy

States court, Harry F. Pierce of this city
schedules liabilities, aggregating to;.447.
His assets consist solely, according to the
papers filed In court of a half Interest In
the Perseverance Mining and Milling com
pany of Owyhee, Idaho, sad to be of
doubtful value.
Of some fifty creditors the schedule of
Pierces liabilities shows George W.
Holdrege of Omaha, general manager of
the Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy railroad,
to be the largest. Pierce lists an indebted
ness to Mr. Holdrege of $400,000. which Is
secured by the capital stock of the Fer
serverance Mining and Milling company.
At the same time Pierce's Interest In the
Idaho mining property Is stated by his ot-
tornevs to be subject to a Hen of JiO,O0O
held by Mr. Holdrege.
William Barker of this city has a claim
of $fi0.97. which he has assigned to Ernest
E. Hart, president of the First National
bank of thia city. This clslm Is said to
be connected with transactions Involving
the purchaae by Pierce and Barker of the
atock of the Idaho mining property.
Another claim listed Is that of George
H. Lyons of Omaha for $36,000. It Is said
that Lyons claims this amount as com
mission for the aala of land formerly
owned by Pierce to Mr. Holdrege. Thia Is
one of what the attorney for Pierce say
are "contingent" liabilities of their clienl.
Ferdinand Wels. a former well known
business man of this city, now residing In
Des Molnea appears In the list as creditor
to the amount of $10,000. This claim.
Pierce's attorneys say l connected with cer
tain oil atock transactions between Pierce
and Wels. This Is also claased by Pierce's
attorneys as one of the "contingent"
liabilities.
One batch of claims listed which aggre
gate $10,KS represent notes which Pierce
endorsed with William Barker for the pur
chase of blooded horses.
Many Claims Dlspated.
A. T. Fllckinger of the firm of Fllcklnger
Bros., attorneys for Harry Pierce, said that
much of the Indebtedness scheduled by
their client should be classed as "contingent
liabilities." Many of this class of claims.
he said, wera disputed by Pierce.
According to Attorney Fllcklnger. Pierce,
who was supposed to own considerable
land and other property, does not now own
a single acre. "Mr. Pierce today has noth
ing." said Mr. Fllcklnger. "All of the land
which he owned haa been recently trens-
ferred to Mr. Holdrege, the tranarer being
duly recorded and publlahed. Mr. Pierce
will have to start at the bottom of the lad
der again."
The Item of $400,000 scheduled as due Mr.
Holdrege Is listed as repreaentlng notes
given by Pierce In payment for the stock
In the Perseverance Mining and Milling
company.
Harry P. Pierce Is tho son of Mr. and
Mrs. Francla J. Pierce and was Interested
with them for a number of years In the

DES MOINES. Ia.. Nov. 22. (Special.)
One of the most remarkable pardon cases
In the history of the state was disposed of
todsy by Governor Cummins when he com
muted the life sentence of George Weems
to thirty years In prson. The board of
parole had, upon a compromise, recom
mended commutation to thirty-two years
and the governor cut off two years more,
which, with "good time" earned, leavea
Weems with a year and eleven montha yet
to serve. The remarkable part of it Is that
originally Weems was sentenced to be
hanged and It Is an open secret that the
court Itself would have been in danger and
the jail would have been broken Into and
the prisoner lynched at the time if the
sentence had been a light one. Governor
Drake commuted the death sentence to life
Imprisonment and now Governor Cummins
fixes a term for the sentence to end. The
governor gave aa his reason the good char
acter of the man and the appeals of his
sged soldier father; but in fact there la
acrlous doubt as to the guilt of the pris
oner, this fact becoming known only In
recent years. Weems and two others were
convicted of killing Conductor Redpath In
Des Moines in 194. One of the others
turned state's evidence and got a short
term. The third Is now Insane. The
theory of Weema" friends Is that while he
had been with the party Just before tho
murder he waa not with them at the time
and that the one who turned state's evi
dence was really the guilty person.
One Fell Pardon.
John G. Bteele, an old man, who killed
his neighbor In a quarrel tn Monroo
county, was given full pardon by the gov
ernor and the papers were signed today.
Frederick Hansen, serving a life sentence
for criminal assault from Bcott county, had
his sentence commuted to twenty-five
years.
R. 8. Myers, who had recently suffered
from an operation, was granted full pardon
on recommendation of the board of parole.
Fred FIvecoat of Clarke county was pa
roled. He was one of a party of men that
sought to wreck a train for robbery
A. C. Sheets of Lyon county, serving five
years, gets a pardon December 23; and
James Lane, convicted of aecond degree
murder in Hardin county and under a
twenty-five year sentence, is paroled.
The Ralnabarger case waa continued and
apptlcattona of G. A- Williams, Charles
Stogall. William Tool, and M. B. Foster
wera denied. '
Governor Cummins also cleaned up
great many minor pardon matters today.
Wife Desertion Law Upheld.
The state won a case on appeal in the
supreme court today, a case involving con
struction of the desertion law. Judge
Wright, in Story county court, had released
Frank Dvoracek, indicted for deserting his
wife and children, 1 The court holds that
the court where the wife lives has juiisdlc
tlon and also that the form cf Indictment
need not be specific, but generally state
the facts. The question of whether or not
the desertion is willful must be left to the
jury.

murder of his daughter-in-law, Mrs. George

tragedies In the criminal annals of that
section of Iowa. Brown beat to death with
an Indian club his daughter-in-law, Mrs.
George G. Brown. The killing was 'the
outcome of a family quarrel which started
at the breakfast table over the Invalid wife

was alleged to have abused. After killing
his daughtei-in-law. Brown walked down
town and surrendered to the town marshal.
Mrs. George G. Brown had been very popu
lar In Manson. She was a leader In the
Congregational church work.
Brown' defense was that he killed the
woman In self-defense and also that her
treatment of him had affected hia mind.

HOT SPRINGS. Va.. Nov. 22,-Presldent-elcct
Taft and Representative Burton of
Ohio had another extended conference Sat
urday, at which the speakership question
was discussed as well as "nearly every
thing else," as Mr. Taft put It afterwards.
What the present state of mind of Mr.
Taft Is on the speakership question and
what will be his future attitude la made
apparent beyond all question In a state
ment for publication by Mr. Burton after
the conference. Mr. Burton first explained
that he was none the less a candidate
for the senate than when he came here,
and that on his return to Washington on
Monday he should give more vigorous at
tentlon to the canvass In Washington. He
then said:
"In discussing the question of the speak
ership I am not assuming to seak for Mr.
Taft, but only to expreaa what seems to
me what Is clearly a correct view of the
situation. The president-elect made cer
tain promises during the campaign. One
was for a thorough and honest revision of
the tariff. This does not necessarily mean
that rates In all schedules will be lowered,
nor that any legitimate right or Interest
of either capital or labor will be disre
garded. It doea mean a careful re-examin
ation of the whole subject. Besides the
tariff there were other promises contained
in the party platform and reiterated by the
president-elect which must be fulfilled. No
doubt Mr. Taft would oppose Mr. Cannon
very reluctantly, but aa the head of his
party as well as the president-elect of the
nation he la bound to meet the expectations
of the people and to Insist upon the observ
ance of party pledges.
"The speaker has great power In repress
ing legislation. If thia repressive Influence
should stand In the way there would be but
one course for the president-elect to pursue
and that Is to exert his Influence against
obstruction.
"It Is to be hoped there will be such
harmony and concert of action between the
president-elect and Speaker Cannon that a
contest will be avoided."
Judge Taft made no statement for publi
cation on the -subject. Those who have
talked with him aay that his determination
to prevent "obstruction" Is most vigorous.
Mr. Burton wished to make no prediction
as to what the outcome of thin determina
tion would be, saying that the whole situ
ation, as he saw tt, was contained In his
statement. Regarding the possibility of his
being. a candidate for speaker, Mr. Bur
ton's answer was that he was "none the
less a candidate for senator, because of his
visit here."

It Is to arrest baldness, entirely eradi

of destroying microbes and to maintain
a healthful condition of the hair and
scalp, that Dr. Notts Hair Tonic Is
marketed. It Isn't a "Quess-lt'll-do-lt"
sort of remedy. This tonic has made
good. It won't grow hair on a billiard
ball or put hair on heads that are bald
through Inherttsnco. Ninety per cent of
the case of baldness, however, are
eauesd by seborrhea, and It is to that
16 per cent that Dr. Nott's prescription
appeals as bottled magic.
