-T TROUBLE AT SCHOOL FOR DEAF AN ECHO OF INSTITUTIONAL ATTACK. ALL STATE INSTITUTIONS HAVE FELT ITS EFFECT of General Scheme to DIsoredit Work State Control Board and Its Dairy Rally to Be Held In Connection With State Defect in Pure Food Law. Des Moln-es, Aug. breaking out of trouble for the sehoe! for the deaf at Council Bluffs Is another reeuit of the agitation which taok acute form during the legislative session of a year and a half ago. One of the ef the nor of a hospital, but an Institution which runs so smoothly that no person would ever suspect a chance for trouble to the -writer at the time of the 2apt quarterly conference two months (ago, that all institutions were suffering from the agitation and disturbances which had commenced with the for a legislative probe and -w-hich culminated in the MitchellvIHe He stated thai he wished tthe newspapers could have entered a conspiracy of silence about The iJnatter: but on the other hand that leome way might be devised for having newspaper men visit the institutions and see for themselves the that has been done for Iowa's unffnrnmatea and delinquents In recent Jsrears.

"We have all suffered from this he said, "much more than knows of. We feel that every jInstitution is in a measure under suspicion when the head of the system jls under attack. We have never been to understand just why the dei.mand came for an investigation of the institutions and an effort to discredit oi? our wnrk but we do know that it crippled us in our work and we 'fear that for the future there is a 'f)ossibHity of trouble for any or all us. Hence we are not doing as good work as we would otherwise." The attack upon Superintendent Rothert. however, is an old matter.

The deaf people are very hard to manage. it is notorious that they are never satisfied, are sensitive and somewhat suspicious, and for a number of years a small group of 'the graduates of the deaf school have been insisting upon having a deaf person at the head of tne school. This will not be done, however, as the position is essentially an -administrative one having largely to do with the relations of the school to affairs. It is relate that winter when the board of control being bombardM with letters from "deaf persons, demanding a change, a came from a former student 'who had been, in fact a wry obstreperous student and who had been resentful of the punishment inflicted upon He was then in Cuba and wrote Sthat he had been urged to write a letter attacking Mr. He said declined to do so, that he left the feeling very hard toward the superintendent, but that now he realized that he, the boy.

was wholly at fault and he would not say a word against Mr. Rothr-rt. This fairly illustrates the nature of the attack now (made. The Towa State Dairy Association has arranged for a big dairy rally at the state fair Aug. 31, as a part of the propaganda for more and.

better cows. A big meeting will be held in a tent and there will be addresses by leading specialists and demonstrations and discussions. This movement is directed toward having more butter made the farms and not a booster movement especially for creameries. The number of creameries has been actually reduced in recent years but the amount of butter made is rapidly increasing. Thc legislature appropriated $19,007 to aid in the work and a great campaign is being made.

W. 3. Barney, the Etate dairy comlssioner, is an enthusiast in the work for more butter making and is giving the cause valuablce assistance. The ice cream cone crusade will not be able to reach its most important aspect until the laws of Iowa are changed. Tha law gives authority to the commissioner to sanitary conditions in the dairy business, but there are no sanitary provisions in the pure -food law, and the result is that while if a cone is caught carrying a boric compound it may be arrested and dealt roughly, the makers of cones may be as dirty and unsanitary as they desire and there is no way to reach them.

2n fact, the slight investigation aiready made shows that a great many of the ice cream cones axe manufactured the most unsanitary condition ami there is really more danger from that than from anything else. John M. Work, the candidate of the socialists tor governor of Iowa, wants a joint debate with Governor Carroll on "the issues of the day" -without stating what they are. Of course he will not be accommodated, nor will there be any other joint debates in the state. Mr.

Work is an exceedingly able and eloquent lawyer who has done a great deal of lecturing for the socialists. Their recent state convention, uid not show evidence of any great gains for the party. Railroad men are insisting that there Is not a desire, at least not among the men of the operating departments, to punish Iowa for railroad regulation and 2-cent fares by withdrawing all excursion rates. There has been no probability of a refusal on the part of the railroads to grand reduced rates to the state fair. In feet that matter was fought out a year ago between the executive committee of the state board and the railroad men in Chicago, and the Iowa people convinced the railroad men that it would be mutually beneficial to grant reduced In fact the railroads want the business and want it at the old rate.

FOR ROADS. Railroads Must Pay Taxes or Property Will Be Knocked Down, Sioux City, Aug. of their refusal to pay the water and light tax for tiie past fifteen years, the property of the six railroad companies in Sioux City may be sold at a tax sale. The first step was taken by the city when a motion was passed requesting the county treasurer to take the course customary in such eases. Property of individuals and small companies is always advertised for sale when there is a failure to pay taxes but for some unaccountable reason the railroads have been allowed to ignore I that portion of tho levy for lig'ht and water.

The roads owe about $3,000. The council believes Comity Treasurer O. B. Talley will co-operate with it in securing a settlement. It will be necessary only for the treasurer to order the -sale of railroad property to satisfy the claim and it will be up to the roads to seek an injunction restraining the sale.

This would effect a settlement in the courts. City Attorney Gill has Informed the council that the taxes for the fifteen years can be recovered but that interest and penalties can be collected for five years only.

SHOOTING OF ATTORNEY THOMAS BY WOMAN MAY DEVELOP SENSATION. MRS. M'MAHON HELD IN JAIL AWAITING TRIAL Former Clear Lake Girl Bemoans the Disgrace That Has Come Upon Her an Attorney of Marked Ability and Former Partner of Her Dead Husband. Special to Times-Republican. Mason City, Aug.

NVhat a disgrace! If he could only have lived a few minutes!" Those are the words Mrs. Michael JIcMahon keeps repeating when friends call upon her at the (jail at Sturgis, S. D. She was a former I Clear Lake lady, known as Miss HolJlinsworth and was one of the charming young ladies of the city. Her father is known as a wealthy and retired resident of Hampton.

Her case is especially interesting to a large number of Iowa residents. Her preliminary hearing was held Saturday and she was bound over. She is a lawyer, her husband was a lawyer and her father was engaged in practice until he retired. The story is a short one. Miss Holllnsworth's first marriage was to George McPherson, a wealthy cattleman.

He died about four years ago and two years ago she became the wife of Michael McMahon. About the time of their marriage her husband formed a partnership for the practice of law with David P. Thomas, former United States commissioner at Wasta. At the primary election in June he was made district judge. About three months ago McMahon died and it seems there was some trouble in the settlement of the partnership.

Thomas desired the privileges of the office until business afEairs were settled. Mrs. McMahon refused this and ordered him to leave. There "was other trouble between them, of what nature has not yet come to the surface and may not until the trial of the case. Women Witness Tragedy.

On the day of the tragedy the widow went to the office as usual and commenced her work, for she Is a Dra.cticing attorney. Soon Mir. Thomas came and was ordered to leave. He simply laughed at Mrs. McMahon and without saying another word to him she whipped out a revolver which she had concealed beneath her apron and fired, striking him just above the right eye.

He fell dead at her feet. Two women, friends of Mrs. McMahon, witnessed the tragedy. Fifteen minutes after the shooting she was in the custody of the sheriff and behind the bars. She greatly regrets what she has done and friends are fearful that her mind will give way under the dreadful strain.

Her father, being wealthy, and she having wealthy and influential friends, one of the hardest fought trials that has ever taken place in Dakota is anticipated. Judge Thomas, who fell the victim to this woman's anger and hatred, was a man of marked ability. He was per jculiar in temperament and seemed to seldom be out of trouble. At the time of his death he was under indictment I in the federal courts for taking a homestead proof at Wasta, contrary to law. He was 33 years of age and was also an Iowan.

Red Oak, Aug. be literally burled alive in a hospital for the Incurably Insane for twenty-one years, while her family, left as young children, grew up and, marrying, scattered over the country, and then to suddenly awaken to sanity, and to once again take up the threads of her life, an old woman, and to hold In her arms the of her children, as old and older than the babes which she left over a score of years ago, is the experience of Mrs. Jacob Kreiger of Red Oak. Today, a sweet faced, white haired old lady, she is living at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Edward Swiger, who she last saw as a little girl of 14 years.

As the years passed, however. Instead of improving, Mrs. Kreiger gradually grew worse, until despairing of her ultimate recovery, she was Anally sent to the asylum for incurables at Clarlnda. There, as the long years have rolled over her head, she has lived oblivious to everything in life, while her family has grown up. Time, the great necromancer, has placed Its seal upon them, and today children whom she left are men and women of middle age, married and with children older than those from whom she was taken.

Recovery is Complete. Xt was about a year ago that physicians at the institute noticed that the woman with whose peculiarities they had became familiar was showing periods of lucidity. These periods gradually became longer, and finally her condition became such that she was placed in a cottage provided for probationaries. There her return to complete sanity was accomplished. Gradually the dazed woman began picking up the broken threads of her existence.

It was like entering a new world. iShe was told by degrees of the changes that had occurred during her long restraint, how her children had grown to manhood and womanhood, had married and had moved away. When her two daughters who live In Red Oak came to visit her, 6he was timid and hesitated at first, feeling strangely toward these two middleaged women, who they told her were her children.
