Taylor had been seen at Olivet .lur-
ing the afternoon. The sheriff got a
fresh cam and started Immediately
to Olivet, From there he drove to
Leighton and thcn to Evans, where
lie heard Of Taylof,s arrest While
in Evans he interviewed Mrs. Taylor
and her daughter ais a precautionary
measure to insure q successful prose
cution of the case.
We do not think that the esteemed
Herald intended to nisrepresent Mr..
Cricket but we do think 1t should
hasten to put him in the proper light
before the public. Some Of his polit-
ical adversaries are quoting the Her
alb in an attempt to inure Mr.. Crick-
OF in the present campaign. Oska-
Ioosa Times-J Journal.
The Herald did not get its informa-
tion from Mr. Baum or any other
private citizen but strictly from ofic-
iial sources. Yet, accepting the
Times-JournaIs explanation OF the
affair the situation is not relieved in
any way. The sheriff's office is nat
urally the place for county peace Of
ficers to appeal for aid when they
need help with dangerous and unruly
prisoners. And If Mr.. Cricket was
away as stated by the Times-J Journal,
does the Times-Journal mean to say
that this excused the sheriff from all
responsibility Is the business of
the county supposed to stop and
criminals supposed have their own
sweet way every time Mr. Cricket
concludes to go out into the country?
Constable Ruggenberg appealed to
the sheriff's Office for aid and he did
not get it. He then appealed to the
city headquarters and was at first re-
fused help because it was the opinion
of those In authority that the county
should take care Of such things. Fin
ally, however, he was granted the
services Of two policemen who were
not on duty at the time. AS the
Times-Journal says, the Herald has
no desire to misrepresent anybody,
even in the heat of political cam
paign, neither has it any inclination
to say fact is not fact just be-
cause some one would like to have it
do SO. -. .,-.. /.

THE cRlckEr EPlsopE.

Monday evenings issue of the
Herald contained a statement to the
effect that Sheriff Cricket refused to
go to Evans to arrest Chas. Taylor.
The statement is absurd on the face
of it. Mr.. Cricket never refused to
go anywhere that duty called. He new.
er was known to shirk or evade offic.
ial responsibility, no matter how un.
pleasant or periIous. The Herala's
story probably started in this way
J. H. Baum of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Co. was at Evans Monday
and saw what was going on. He was
afraid Taylor would make his es
cape and he telephoned the sheriff's
Office. This was just before noon.
The sheriff had gone down into the
eastern part Of the county on some
Official business. Mr.. Fry, els dep
uty, was also out of the city. Dick
Cricket, acting turnkey, and broth
er of the sheriff, answered the phone
"Who is this ?" asked Mr.. Baum, as
Dick put the receiver to his ear.
Cricket" was the reply. Mr. Baum,
who evidently thought he was talk.
ing to the sheriff, then related the
details OF Taylor's alleged crime
and tn ehelplessness of the local offi-
ers. He wanted the sheriff to come
out and make the arrest. Dick had
no authority to go and could not
leave.
The sheriff returned about seven
o'clock in the evening. Prior to that
time he had heard nothing Of the af'
fair. A report had been received at
the mayors office to the effect that

The Iowa Yearly Meeting Of
Friends opened with rather threaten
ing weather, quite warm, but show
cry, on Monday. The lonely-loolKing
grounds have suddenly sprung into a
populous city Of forty-four tents, all
but two engaged, and about one-third
occupied, A large refreshment tent
stands in the south part Of the
grounds in the care OF Leo Stalker,
who is prepared to furnish every
thing Yearly Meeting people are
likely to want. BY means Of a tele-
phone he also has at his command
the stores of the city Of Oskaloosa.
He also proposes to furnish warm
lunches three times a day at zoe
each.
A large tank with the best Of
drinking water and plenty Of tin cups
stands out by the old well. Two plat
forms are in readiness for open air
meetings with seating accommoda-
tions for 800 each.
4 Just at the hour for the opening OF
the Christian Endeavor reception for
delegates heavy rain storm came
on accompanied with wind and light
ming, which probably kept away
many and was rather rough intro
duction to the tent life. The recep-
ton for delegates opened few min
utes late, led by President Newby, Of
the Yearly Meeting Union, and Pres.
Hoy, of the local society. The sing
ing was led by VIM. Pilot. The op-
ening remarks were an exhortatiDn- to
relieve ourselves of strain and un-
natural pressure and be merely our
selves like emptying a vessel that it
may be filled again. What is called
spiritual pressure may sometimes be
merely the pressure of ourselves. For
the present, at least, let G.. E. stand
for Christian Ease" The Scripture
lesson was read from Luke 4:16-20
and John 20.21. The theme was,
What Are You Living For?" answer
ed from the words, "As the Father
hath sent Me, even so sent YOU"
Living to represent Christ Jesus as
He represented God. At the close Of
a very thoughtful and helpful CON
sideration Of the theme by Richard
Newly, a welcome was formally ex.
tended to the delegates by Wilbur
Hoy on behalf of the local society and
was responded to by Pres. Newby for
the Union. Both speakers mentioned
Tent Endeavor. 1t is tent provid
ed by the Oskaloosa society for En-.

quested to sign his name to the reg,

SHAW AS HEADSMAN
The Secretary Intends to Make the
Department Efficient.

Washington, March 27.-The state OF
mental uncertainty and worry which has
existed among the minor officials and en- :
ployes Of the treasury department for sew
eral weeks has become almost q panic.
The large number Of dismissals and trans
Tiers has caused CONSERVATION. and con-
ffrmed the belief in many quarters that
Secretary Shaw takes the palm among
recent secretaries of the treasury as a
! headsman. .
Walter s.. Chance, chief Of the division
of special agents. is slated for transfer to
a minor position, reducing his present
salary Of SO a day to something like
$4,000 year. Secretary Shaw has felt
for some time that the division Of special
agents was in need Of reorganization.
! William P. Williams, the assistant
treasurer Of the United States at Chi
cago, is to- be dismissed unless he can be
induced to resign. Secretary Shaw be-
gan an Investigation of his office some
| time ago, and@it is charged that the as
sistant treasurer has been carrying on
his books, unreported for some time, q
shortage of 5000 due to purchases OF
short-weight gold coins. The place is
wanted for L. 7. Hoy, chairman Of the
republican state committee of Illinois.
i The Investigations relating to General
i Appraiser Jewell at New York are being
pushed. The present outlook Is that 3
successor to Jewell will be appointed.
