WHITE GAPS WARNINGS.

Special to the Globe.

DEs MONIES, 10. Jan. 19.-The intro
duction of the organization of White
Caps into Iowa seems to be making
rapid progress. Since the 1st of Janu-
ary, at probably dozen different points
remotely situated from each other, per-
sons have received anonymous letters
advising them to change their conduct,
get out of the community, or prepare
for visitation from the White Caps.
At Dow City r. 81. Whipple was nOti-
fed that if he was heard using SANDER
oAs language against any of the ladies
of Dow, or was seen on the streets after
10 %. M, unless accompanied by his
wife, he would be tied TO the town flag
staff and publicly whipped. At Fort
Madison similar notice was publicly
posted in regard to three prominent bus
mess men. At Ida Grove j. w. Reed,
banker; Jay D. Miller, attorney, and
E. G. Miller, NJ. D., all prominent
citizens received notices through the
poStoffice to leave town in three days,
signed by White Caps. At Marshall
town dissOlute citizen was recently
notified to brace up and be man or
suffer the consequences at the whipping
post. At Sioux City the attorney of the
Law and Order league has been warned
to leave the city; and Editor Perkins, of
the Journal, has been notified to attend
to his own affairs: In Des Moines the
Leader has received word that "You
and your gang must leave the city with
out delay, or we will make it warm for
you" The notice was written IN red
ink and ornamented with skull and
cross bones. No attempt has been
made to injure the person Of any man
yet threatened, but the outbreak COM
ing from so many different points at
once, indicates sort of precOncerted
movement to extend the order into this
state.

EAU CLAIRE, WIS, Jan. I'D octor
Annette j. Shaw, of this city, super
intendent of the social purity branch of
the Wisconsin Woman's Christian Tenn
perance union, who has taken charge
of the movement to secure legislation
against divekeepers in this state, said
today, II shall go to Madison to-
morrow or Monday to consult with DR..
Bushnell before he goes East to fill his
Eastern engagements. 1t is not true,
as stated in the newspapers, that the
W. G. L. U. now has detectives abroad
in this state investigating the stockades
for further evidence. We consider DIR.
Bushnell's evidence all sufficient.
We are now devoting our efforts
to secure a law making impris0n-
ment the penalty for denkeepers
A fine is nothing. We want such law
that when it takes hold of these brutes
they will feel it. We also advocate the
bill introduced yesterday in the assem-
bly, to abrogate the previous cnaste
character clause in the provision
against enticing girls. l don't know
what periods of imprisonment for
keepers will be proposed in such bill.
We have been looking at the Iowa law
which makes the maximum fifteen
years. The bill will be drawn within
day or two, and l think presented next
week. Our plans do not extend beyond
the passage of an effective law. When
that is accomplished we must leave the
rest to public sentiment and the local
authorities.

who was on the shore, was requested by
the English officers to ask the Germans
to cease shooting. The Germans seized
Brown, carried him on board of the
man-of-war ship Eber, and, after hand

United States Consul Blackjack has
telegraphed all the facts respecting the
situation here, informing Secretary
Bayard that the American flag had been

that American citizens have been taken
prisoners by the Germans, and states
that the lives and property of American
citizens are in great danger.
