JURY HANGS IN TELSR0W
KIDNAPPING CASE AT Upton

The jury in the case of August
Lueth. the farm hand tried for the
kidnapping of Mrs. Telsrow. of Ben.
nett, Iowa, reported yesterday after
noon that they stood six for convic-
ton and six for discharge, and that
there was no hope of an agree
mcnt This is rather surprising in
view Of the clear case that the state
was thought to have when the trial
begun. Doubt was raised in the
minds of the members of the jury by
the testimony Of Herman Goetsch, a
farmer and neighbor of the Telsrows.
who declared that John Reuthers, a
hand on his farm. had acted strange
ly about the time Of the kidnapping
and on the night that Mrs. Telsrow
was carried away he disappeared.
leaving clothing and $50 due in wages,
and had not been seen since in that
vicinity. The impression seems to be
growing that Reuthers, and not
Lueth, is guilty.

SYSTEM is READY.
Burlington Road Has Telephones
Installed From Chicago
to Burlington.
WHOLE LINE TO BE INCLUDED
VIII Lead to Adoption of New
Methods in Handling
Business.

After several years of labor a com
plete telephone service between Chi
cago and Burlington, Iowa, was open
ed this week by the Chicago, Burling-
ton q Quincy railroad. The entire
system is owned and will be operated
for the exclusive benefit of the Bur-
lington road. Over it the company
expects to transact the bulk of its
business in every line, putting an end
to the sending of thousands of tele-
grams and letters. 1t is the first
stretch of what will be "a telephone
service that will connect all stations
on the system.
On the Chicago-BurIingto line just
opened there are 332 individual tele-
phones, connected with seven private
exchanges of the company. When
finished the complete service will in
clude $500 telephones. The estima-
ted cost of the work is $500, 900. The
only thing the railroad does not own
outright are the telephone instru-
ments, which are leased from the
Bell company. All of the block sig
nal stations between Chicago and
burlington have been supplied with
telephones. Speaking of the innOva-
ton, w. W. Ryder, superintendent of
telegraph of the Burlington, who has
had charge of the work. said:
The value of the new telephone
system cannot be estimated. The
general passenger agent may call up
the agent at any town between Chi
cago and burlington and arrange for
ii special party, the freight agent III
Chicago may give verbal directions to
an agent down in Illinois regarding
shipment. and the superintendent or
dispatcher may talk to the conductor
of train regarding the Iatter's
movements, and when any of these
conversations are finished the one
giving the instructions feels and
knows that he has been understo
and one receiving the orders is sim
ilarly satisfied"

At the meeting held at Rural Town
hall to discuss the policy of organic
ing a farmers mutual life insurance
society the attendance was not large,
owing to the fact that the farmers
are putting i'm long hours these days,
and there being other things going
ON that night, but the proposition was
debated to considera BILE length, and
after getting views from all sides it
was moved to proceed with the organ
izaticn and appoint a committee
to draw up bylaws and regulations
for the society.
The committee was composed of
John L. Simmons, Foster Nylie and
A. Z. Alley. of Rural, Z. G.. Daniel
son and F. S. Fullerton. of SherraTd,
and Harry Thompson, of Presumption.
, This committee met in Sherrard last
evening. \ meeting will be called
to consider its report and adopt the
plan which the society is to follow.
There are several questions yet to
be decided. among which is the ques-
ton of taking ladies into the society
and the question of fixing the age
limit of members.
Policy Dropped Out.
There is much question among the
people about the policy of the order,
but as yet there is no definite plan,
and the points which now seem weak
may be strengthened before the rules
are adopted and soliciting begun.
1t is intended to push the matter
along as rapidly as possible, and if
possible to have 500 members and Sc

Baseball

The Springfield News hands out the
following advice to Three-Eye league
cities:
Friends of the Ihree-Eye league
are concerned over the intense feeling
that exists among certain of the cities
toward each other. 1t is not d friend
ly rivalry that BODIES good to the or
ganization, but it is cut-throat
hatred that has found vent so far in
nothing more than angry words and
threats. Rockford may be. let out.
All kinds Of charges are handed back
and forth. There is no excuse for
this and the sooner these towns set
tie down to business the better it Will
be for the league. There is new
deal. The towns which have been
calling for it have forgotten it. Sex
ton and his friends are not sore. Both
he and the cities that supported him
are ready to support the new admins
tration and there is no excuse for a
few of the cities to keep harping over
by-gones."

ing to advices received at the state
department, the Salvadoran govern
ment will pay the judgment rendered
by the arbitration board in the case

SO with i'll grace. Before coming to
this conclusion a professional opinion
was called for from General Regalado,

This opinion stated that there was

vulgar and nothing mere unusual than
the decision which the arbitrator of
Canada and of the United States rem
dered in absolute disregard of the il

were brutally ignored by Messrs Dick

The opinion further declared that the

respects, but added that, despite all
equity and despite all right the conse-
quences of that decision must weigh
with Salvador. for the simple and OBJ
vious reason that compulsion cannot be

THE TERRITORY WINS
QUO WARRANTO CASE
Against Ralph Cameron's Claim to
Collect Toll.

Williams, AriZ., April 19.-(Special)-
On April Is the district court of the
Fourth judicial district of Arizona de-
cided at Flagstaff the quo warranto
proceeding brought by the territory of
Arizona against Ralph H. Cameron in
favor of the plaintiff.
Cameron had set up in January a toll
gate near the head of the Bright Angel
trail leading from the terminus of the
Grand Canyon railway down into the
canyon to the Colorado river. He
based his claim to the right to exercise
gathering franchise upon a filing
made in 1881 by Peter D. Berry, who
never completed the road nor collected
tolls. The filing for q toll road under
the Arizona law covers a term of ten
years, and this may be extended by
the board of supervisors for an addl
tional term OF five years. Just before
the expiration of the ten-year term a.,
extension was granted to Berry and
three men associated with him Shortly
thereafter they conveyed all their in
terests to Ralph II. Cameron. who
waited for about two years and then
put up toll gate.
The proceeding was brought in Janu-
airy by the territory to make him show
by what warrant he exercised the fran
chise. The position was taken by the
territory that under the toll-road stat
ute any right acquired by Berry was
not subject to alienation and that II
could pass to Cameron only by the ar-
thority of the territory expressed in the
statute This authority to convey the
statute did not grant and the district
court accordingly held that Cameron
acquired no right.
On the merits the territory was pre-
pared to show that as a matter of fact

His Explanation of His Connection
With the Baking Powder Legislation
and the Other Scandals Now Rend-
ing the State of Missouri.

Kansas City. Mo, April 2O-Unfted
States Senator William ]. Stone ad-
dressing the Missouri Democratic Press
association today made an elaborate
explanation of his connection with the
baking powder legislation and the en-
forcement of the state pure food laws,
and he denounced the daily papers OF
the state, which he declared had
"hounded'' him outrageously.
William J. Bryan, who spoke earlier
in the afternoon, announced himself as
country editor addressing country
editors He said that throughout the
United States he found a deep an1
growing dissatisfaction among repub-
lican voters with the policy of the n;,-
tional administered ton, and exhorted his
hearers not to make the democratic
party so much like the republican party
that it would be easy for the repubf.-
cans to get into it, but to keep it dir-
ferent so that in time of stress the peo-
pie would turn to the democratic party
for deliverance."
Praising the state of Missouri for its
prosecution of the packing houses, he
said: 1.-The federal government seems
to be afraid to enforce the criminal
law and prefers the use of injunctions. -
He closed with reference to the Mis-
souri, legislature scandals, calling for
the punishment of every official.
Senator Stone, who labored under in
tense excitement, protested against the
persecution to which he had been sub
jected by the "scavengers of the press
who had I,Sed "asSa SSinS' methods " He
said: Before my God. fear them not;
laugh in their faces and spit upon
them
Senator Stone denounced various re-
ports that he had been in conference
with Colonel w. H. Phelps and Lieu
tenant Governor Lee since the bribery
Investigations had been begun. Sena-
tor Stone declared that he had not
sought improperly to influence the
anti-alum legislation at any time.
In closing his address, Senator Stone
said: II hope God will wither my hand
palsy my tongue, and burn my hear
in the flames of hell before I will In
tentionally dishonor any position to
which the people of Missouri assign
