SELF
The time will come in few years when
the diocese of Iowa will have to be divided,
leaving one diocese in the eastern part OF
the state and another in the western por-
ton. DR.. Morrison logically would remain
in the east, and that would leave the place
in the west division open. Then the name
Of some Iowa man will undoubtedly be ad-

DES MONIES, Dec. 2.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-Dr. 8. Fitch, who was arrested here
about month ago, charged with seduction,
adultery and bigamy. and one of whose four
alleged wives was a Nebraska woman, was
released today. DR.. Fitch was arrested by
the police on decoy call. In police court
he waived preliminary examination so as to
60 before the grand jury at once. He was
held to the January term, but the September
grand jury examined his case and found the
evidence insufficient to indict him on any
of tho charges Although the Iowa law pro-
vides a fine for marrying by contract, In the
case Of Fitch and Dora Schultz their con-
tract was made in Minnesota, where they
had been living as man and wife, hence he
was not guilty Of seduction in Iowa nor Of
adultery, as they were living as man and
wife under a common law contract. The
bigamy charge would not hold because the
only one of his former wives who appeared
at the trial testified that she had secured a
divorce. His attorney appeared before court
today to get wit Of habeas corpus. This
wee denied ond the grounds that he was held
to the January term. He was then released
on his own recognizance. County Attorney
Howe is Of the opinion that he will be dis
charged by the next grand jury.
