Law Will Not Recogn ize a Triple
Division of the DuBois
., Estate,
If
Any
WILL CAN NOT BE FOUND
Somewhere among: DuBois' belong
ings, In this or another country where
he praotl-ctd his bigamous habits,
there Is a document in which the mat
rimonial -fiend directed the. distribution
Of his wealth at his death.!
Such a -will has been made, for had
it not DuBois would not have been
a
taken the thirty-second decree In this
ordere, and before passing through the
consistory, a lower degree, he made his
•wtH, as provided by the laws of the
institution.
Mrs. DuBois No. I confesses that she
doesn't know where the will is.
Mrs. DuBois No. 2 admits that she
knows nothing concerning the will.
iMra. DuBota No. 3 professes tx have
no knowledge of the document
Wives No. 2 and No. 3. particularly
the laitter, have searched high and low
lor the scroll which might be of use at
this time* bat they have not succeeded.
Wife No. 3, through her attorney, has
'been unable to locate the valuable
piece ot paper, but hopes to be sucr
ceasful within a few days. If anybody,
can*,, throw any light upftn the subject
the trio of nitres will be glad to have'
Urn step forward. They are ready to
give him the glad hind.
-No stone will -be left unturned in the
Bh for the will:
itever beaHng ttie last wlTl and
teftiu&eot: may have upon the situa
ithtm, the fact remains that there is
Oil? one wife. Altho DuBois, in'the
game spirit of generosity manifested
by him In supplying himself with
helpmates, may have liberally made a
triple division of his estate, the law
smrlll not recognise any such action.
The law will take oare of the lawful
She must have her dower.
If Mrs. DuBois No. 1 can prove her
Claim that she married E. L. DuBois
on June 12, 1880, and that neither he
jjor she has secured a divorce, she and
her three children will receive all of
the property ot her alleged husband,
-fend Mrs. DuBois No. 2, No. 3 or any
$ther inesdames who may appear, will
-«ot get a cent. Lawyers who are not
fersonally interested In the case make
Shis statement, arid they are freely ad
mitted by the attorneys of the three
Wives. Wife No. 1 has never furnished
Absolute proof of her claim.
They say that DuBois had only one
lawful wife. Any other wives that he
may -have gathered around him are not
wives in the eyes of the law.
Judged by developments up to date,
Wrs. DuBois, of Denver, was the first
Vife of DuBois, and unless it Is shown
that she wa» divorced from him, law
yen
believe that she and her children
"are the lirwful heirs to whatever prop

jWiws No. 2 and Shave intimated that
they will be able to show that, she pro
cured a divorce from him.
In the event that the Denver vfr'oman

ahd that she has not been di
vorced, other actions are Idable to be
brought by the Des Moines woman
jLnd the one from New Orleans, who

fnoney that were given by them to Du
bois for business, and other uses.
DuBois' wealth is not as large as it
Was reported to be immediately after
into death, altho It is estimated to be
^ot leas than $25,000, a part of which
4s represented In cash deposits. No
{evidence has been presented to aglow
that he was the owner of property In
any other country than America, altho
'Mrs. DuBois No. 1 claims that she has
property there which neither she nor
the wives of later years can lay
claim to.
1 The work of straightening out the
)ookf» of the firm of DuBois & Turner,
contractors, was started a number of
days before the death of DuBois. Phy
«iolans realized that he was upon his
deathbed, .end it was hoped to reach

of the men before he should expire.
He diied too eoon, however.

resolu
Moines,
alumni
succeed
While the attitude of the people in
Iowa City is one of interest in what
may be said against the president by
those who are conducting the campaign
against him, nothing Is being done here.
Faculty, student and alumni meetings
have been held since the intention on
the part of some alumni to war against
the president became known, but noth
ing whatever has been done. At facul
ty meetings no reference is made to
the matter.
The last university assembly of the
year was held Wednesday morning.
Professors appeared and went upon
the platform amid respectful silence.
When at last Professor MacLean ap
peared there was general applause from
the crowded auditorium. President
MacLean's theme was the relations of
the outgoing graduates to their univer
sity, in which he told of the aims of
the State University of Iowa, and of
its ability to serve the people of the
state. "The State University of Iowa,"
said Dr. MacLean, "is a university of
the type of Michigan and Kansas,
where there are strong agricultural and
normal institutions, but where engi
neering is retained as a part of the uni
versity, and such duplication at the dif
ferent institutions as is necessary to
serve the needs of each is maintained.
Michigan is the oldest and strongest in
stitution of the class. We hope that
as the State University of Iowa grows,
it will approach nearer and nearer to
Michigan."
In concluding Dr. MacLean thanked
the students for their loyalty and co
operation in assisting to entertain the
state high school association, citing it
as an instance of the spirit of unity that
pervades the student body. At the con
clusion of his address, the president
was heartily applauded.
The Iowa City alumni association
held a meeting last Friday evening.
From first to last nothing was said
about the reported trouble at the uni
versity. Professor B. F. Shambaugh
presided at the meeting. Judge Wade
made the only reference that could be
construed to refer to any trouble. "The
Iowa City alumni association," he said,
"has been lax in its membership. We
ought to have every alumnus out at
this meeting, instead of only twenty or
thirty. If the Iowa bity alumni cannot
turn out to their meetings what alumni
should be expected to? We ought to
have a large meeting and then we ought
to be all filled with a determination to
make the general alumni day of com
mencement week mean something to
the returning alumni. We ought to be
glad hosts. We ought to have banners
and Welcomes' hung in the streets.
We ought to have a very hearty inter-

est in these things, because there is an
added commercial interest to Iowa City
alumni in the prosperity of the univer

that if there is anything wrong with
this university it is because the alumni
at its very seat have not a strong,
