John Daily Found Guilty.

| A number of our readers will no doubt
remember John Daily, who some years
ago resided in this city and who moved
| to Des Moines and secured position on
the police force and afterwards con-
stable in East Des Moines. 1t seems as
though Daily is having plenty of trouble
having been convicted Of the crime of
eNtortion. The Des Moines Capital of
last Saturday says:
John Daily, the East Des Moines con-
stable charged with having committed
the crime OF eXtortion in connection
with his official position, was found
guilty today. The jury which heard the
tevidence in the case brought in yer-
dict at 1920 O'clock this morning after
being out all night. The crime OF which
f4Daity has been convicted is a peniten-
tiary otfense and Judge Given set next
Saturday as the date for pronouncing
sentence in the case.
Dailys attorneys at once notified the
court that they would ask for a new
trial. After a conference this morning
they decided upon making an effort to
ground that the state failed to prove
their client guilty under the first count
of the Indictment, that of threatening to
orderly houses if they did not put up
money.
The attorneys for the defense claim
that they have good ground upon which
to set aside the verdict. Daily was
charged under the Indictment in this
case of two counts. The first was that
Of threatening to accuse Mary and Julia
Reinke and Annie Eiker of being inn
moral women if they did not pay over
the sum OF ten dollars to the defendant.
The second count charged that Daily
threatened to arrest these women if
they did not put up the money. The
jury found Daily guilty under the first
count. Dailys attorneys claim that the
state offered no evidence to show that
Daily ever threatened to arrest the
women if they did not pay over the money
but that all the evidence of the state
| tended to show that if, threats were made
| they were made to arrest these women,
This technicality will be urged upon the
court in support of motion to set aside
the verdict.
Section 4767 of the code is the statute
under which Daily was indicted and con
victed. 1t provides a penalty of not to
exceed two years in the penitentiary or
fine of not more than $500 for the
crime of threatening to extort money.
Daily, looking worn and haggard from
loss of sleep and suspense, was at the
court house this morning when the
doors opened at 8 o'clock and sat in the
criminal court room beside his attorneys
when the verdict against him was read.
He sat with his head down when the
jury was polled and did not at once look
up after the verdict was read.

HELEN douLD,s IDEA.

Miss Helen Gould, who Is prob
ably admired as much as any wo
man in America for her wisdom
womanliness ana philanthropy
recently made the following little
speech at an anniversary celebra
ton Of the Y. NJ. c. A. Of Wash
ington, d. c., where she was pres
ent as a special guest representing
the Woman's Auxiliary:
ITO some il may seem superilu'
Gus and inappropriate that women
should be engaged in work for the
benefit OF man, and yet with the
conditions ruling in our country,
il seems TO be particularly fitting
that some Of our efforts should be
directed toward his welfare. In
the United States women are ac-
corded privileges and opportuni-
ties that they are given nowhere
else in the world. They have
greater protection before the law,
and many Of them have a beautiful
leisure, which they highly prize.
All these things have come through
the chivalry and self.sacrihcing
labor of our men, and it seems
particularly appropriate to me that
We should show our appreciation
Of all we have received by devot-
ing a portion of our time and
thought to movements that benefit
the men Of the country. One OF
the fines; among these Is the Young
Mems Christian association, which
recognizes not only the physical
and intellectual nature, but the
