COZ ORADO GENERAL ASSEMBLY
AND DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL

During the discussion of the age OF
consent bills the House went into eX-
ecuuve session. The debarte occupied
nearly all the afternoon. AS adopted,
the bill raises the age of consent tC
eighteen years and places violations o.
the law In which children under six
teen years of age are concerned IN the
class with felonies. The penalty is very
severe. Violations regarding children
over sixteen years are misdemeanors.
Curator Ferril of the State Histori-
cal and Natural History Society, has
displayed in the front door of the de-
partment a draped engraving of the
late w. n. Byers, president of the So
ciety since 1897 The society has only
had two presidents since its organiza-
ton in 1879, and both have died this
winter. DIR. Bancroft was president
from 1879 until Mr.. Byers succeeded
him in 1897.
Attorney General Miller is flooded
with kilograms. telephone messages
and letters asking the status of the
Rush bill They confess ignorance on
the subject and want information. in
view of the approaching spring cleo
ton. Mr.. Miller's stenographer Is
kept busy writing the replies. Mr. Mil
Ter states in his replies that the amend
ment was carried. the courts have sus-
tanned its legality and that its provis-
ions must be enforced.
Governor Peabody on March 21st
granted an unconditional pardon to
Albert H. Flood wht was serving
One-year sentence in the county jail
for involuntary manslaughter On Sep
tember 10th last Flood quarreled with
Patrick j. Moore. a carpenter, who
then resided at No. 1867 Knox court.
Moore entered Floods butcher shop at
No 1884 West ColfaX avenue. to pro-
test because it was alleged the butcher
had sold him so cents worth of taint-
ed meat A fight between the men en-
sued and Moore received knife
wound from which he died. The trial
of Flood which quickly followed in the
West Side court attracted considerable
attention on account of the vigorous
fight which the defense presented and
the strenuous efforts of the labor I'M
ion friends of the dead man to have
the defendant convicted of murder and
sentenced for a long term. Flood was
convicted October Goth, and has been
in the county Jail since, although
charges were frequently made that he
was allowed more liberties than pris-
oners usually enjoy, including frequent
visits to his wife and children. The
grounds on which the governor eX-
tended executive clemency was that
the widow of the murdered man has
five small children, and has been de-
pendent on charity for support; that
the friends of Flood have recently con-
tributed to fund of $1,000 for her
maintenance and which fund has been
presented to her; that Mrs. Moore pc
titioned for clemency for Flood, join
ing Mrs. Flood in this plea; that Mrs.
Flood and her children also have been
helpless since the Incarceration of the
husband and father.

weeks has ruined the peach crop Of
Missouri. L. A. Goodman, secretary
Of the State horticultural society,
has received reports from oil parts Of

jury to peaches Is general. While the
crop Of this fruit has been practical
ly destroyed, no other fruit has sufr
fered material injury. Apple pros
poets are brighter than for years and
a very large crop is expected. Pears,
cherries and strawberries are all re-
ported in good condition and the out
look for grapes is encouraging.

WAS IT INcENDIARY 2


Waynesville, Mo-, Feb. 27.-Two or
three miles from Bloodland, PULASKI
county, lived farmer named Elliott
with his wife and three children, aged
nine, four and two years. Elliott
had rented of q, widow, who made
her home with a married daughter,
Mamie Cozad. Elliott had sold his
crop and agreed to give possession
in the spring, but on Monday, it is
alleged, Mrs. Cozad went there and
ordered him to leave within "a hours,
telling him, it is said, If he was not
out in that time she would burn the
house down with him in it. No spe-
cial attention was paid to the threat
and the family went to bed as usual.
About II o'clock they woke up to
find the house and everything in
flames. Mrs. Elliott threw the baby
out of the window and with her own
clothes in flames followed it. Mr..
Elliott snatched the other two chill
dren from their bed and ran out
When dropping them to fight the fire
from his own clothes the four-year-
old child ran back into the burning
building and could not be rescued.
Its charred remains were found next
day in the ashes. Elliott's clothes
burned off him and it is said he can
not live. Mrs. Elliott and the nine
year-old girl are badly burned. The
baby alone escaped harm. The au-
thorities are Of the opinion that the
FIRE was of incendiary origin.
