ing and cowardly manner" and ought
to be repealed at the short session of
congress. He declared that the presi-
dent could not constitutionally send
troops into the coal regions without a
call from the Pennsylvania authorl.
ties. Nor could he seize anthracite
lands by the exercise Of eminent do
main. Concluding his reference to the
coal question, Mr.. Moody said:
1.-THE president has appealed in vain
to the coal operators to cooperate
with the miners in effort to bring
about an end of the strike. Now when
these operators appeal to congress not
to take off the duty of 81 cents on an
thracite coal. their appeals will like

HAPPENINGS IN
HAWKEYEDOM
What Has Been Going on
During the Past
Week.
PERRY MURDERER CONFESSES
Greek Named Gregoses Confesses That He
Killed His Cousin, who Was Also His
Partner in Fruit and Confectionery
store.

Perry, Oct thames Gregoses, a
Hreek, who lived In Des Moines for
several years up to six years ago,
yesterday confessed to the officers at
Perry to the murder of his cousin and
partner, George Kalmukos.
Early last spring Kalmukos' body
was found near the Coon river, a
short distance from Perry. He had
been shot and his head crushed in and
marks on his body showed that he had
been beaten with heavy weapon, pre-
sumably his shotgun, for it was found
beside him, the stock broken and the
barrel twisted.
The inability of Gregoses to explain
his whereabouts on the day that Kali
mukos went hunting and the fact that
1t was known that they had quarreled,
led to the arrest of Gregoses on the
charge of murder. He was given a
preliminary examination at Perry and
held to the Dallas county grand jury
without bail. The grand jury, after
conclusion it could not make case
against Gregoses and the charge was
ignored.
Turing tne preliminary anu winnie inc
gram jury was considering the case
brother of the dead man came to
Perry to assist in the prosecution and
the Greek consul, stationed at Chicago,
saw to it that Gregoses had competent
counsel to defend him and was pres
ent in Dallas county during the court
proceedings.
The confession of Gregoses is COM
plete and tells how the crime was
committed, even to the smallest de-
tails. The motive was desire to get
Kalmukos out of the way SO that
Gregoses would have undisputed pos
session of their Iruit and confectionery
business. which had come to be very
profitable.
