appear that the accused had been in
Wisconsin. The clear-headed Kirk
wood saw through the device, and the
second attempt Jared no better than
the first. The couple referred to lived
in Fayette county, and had been in

years, giving the criminal courts con-

it is believed that in no instance have
they released an alleged fugitive when

interposed to release one who has been

Gratis against the gold democrats.

A. G. Rankin has not given up the
fight for the marshal bill. He has
been working hard among the men,
bers of the legislature the past week
and there are rumors of a minority
report.
Mr.. Rankin is a persistent, energet-
ic, forceful and effective talker. When
he gets the ear of legislator he never
runs the risk of losing him because Of
inability to keep up conversation.
And he has been warmly pressing
members of the committee on suppress
sion of intemperance in the house for
a minority report on the marshal bill.
But there is thought to be little
chance of a minority report. 1t seems
to be quite we'll agreed among both
sides that the mulct law shall be let
alone this time.
The bill for the prohibition of the
posting of liquor and tobacco adver-
tisements has been amended by the
senate committee on suppression of
intemperance SO that newspapers and
hand bills containing such advertise
ments cannot be circulated within 400
feet of a school yard. Whether the
house will stand for this or not re-
mains to be seen.

agree on a similar provision for the

Des Moines Bureau of Courier.
DeS Mojnes. March o6.

In order to give good service be-
tween Ottumwa and FIT. Madison, and
in answer to the continual efforts
which have been made by the mem.
bers from Wapello and other interest
ed counties in the senate and house,
the officers of the Burlington road to-
day submitted to the state railroad
commissioners an offer to run a motor
car on the Ottumwa-Ft.M Madison branch
of the Burlington route instead of the
slow passenger train which has been
SO unsatisfactory since it was put into
service. The offer, which will I'M
doubtedly be accepted, was submitted
to Senator Harper and the other mem
bers Of the legislature who are inter-
ested, last night.

The offer proposes to give to the
towns along the Ft. Madison branch
of the Burlington an inter-urban SER
vice. The company will, if the car
proves profitable, run it twice each
way each day, stopping at each station

must also go with acquisitions made
by our governor. Very few states have
put into their statutes any such string
ent requirements as to the evidence
necessary to accompany either requisi-
ton received or those issued. Hence
it has not infrequently happened that
agents from other states for the ap-
prehension of alleged fugitives appear
here without satisfactory evidence
that the accused has actually fed the
state making the demand. Without
such evidence our governor has no al
tentative but to withhold the neces-
sary rendition warrant, as in the Dye
case.
The public lands of the state of Tex
as had been for years and perhaps are
yet, profitable field for fraudulent
operations, largely carried on by per-
sons beyond the boundary of the
state. These operations had become
so extensive and formidable that an
act was incorporated into the, Grimm
al law Of that state providing for the
Indictment Of such outside operators
the venue lying in either the counties
containing the lands affected or in the
county of Travis, that in which is Aus
tin, the capital. During the administra-
ton of Governor Gear, he was called
upon by the executive of Texas to
surrender citizen of this state who
was charged with being con-
cerned in such swindling land
operations while acting as COM
missioner for Texas. The accom-
panying papers showed that the
crime, if any, was committed in Iowa
and that the accused had not been in
Texas. Governor Gear could not
therefore do otherwise than refuse to
honor the requisition. The Texas ex-
ecutive was quite indignant over the
action Of the governor of Iowa and
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1904-03-29

haughtily demanded to know if the
latter meant to nullify the laws of the
state OF Texas. Governor Gear inform
ed the irate Texan that he had no
doubt that If the accused were to go
into Texas he could be prosecuted for
the alleged offense, but that the gov
error of Iowa was not able to help get
the offender within the offended juris-
diction.
Some Chicago swindlers having got
considerable money from farmers and
others in central Iowa, an effort was
made to get them into this state in
order that they might be dealt with.
Accordingly Governor Drake issued a
requisition for their apprehension and
surrender. The papers accompanying
the requisition did not, however, make
1T clear that the accused had been
in this state at the time of the criminal
transactions, and Governor Tanner de-
clined to order the surrender Not
long afterwards, requisition came to
Governor Drake from the same govern
or Of Illinois for the surrender of a
man who, while acting as agent for a
Chicago house for the purchase of cat
tie, wired the house from point in
Iowa drawing on it for money with
which to pay for some carloads of the
stock which he had purchased, and was
about to ship. He got the money, but
forgot to send the cattle. The papers
showed that the criminal transaction
had been committed in Iowa, and that
the accused had certainly not fled from
Illinois. There could of course be no
rendition. A very similar incident hap
pened during the administration of
Governor Shaw. A man was sent from
Wisconsin into Iowa with authority to
purchase horses for his principal. A
few days afterwards he telephoned
, from Waukon saying that he had

commended the adoption of the same
provision without change; but the
convention very judiciously substitute
ed the words "other crime" for high
misdemeanor," and as thus altered it
became part of the constitution.
The constitutional provision appears
to have been sufficient for the surren-
der of fugitives for few years. But,
in 1898, congress passed an act ere
specting fugitives from justice, and
persons escaping from the service of
their masters" This act is better
known in our history because of what
is enacted for the return of runaway
slaves to their masters. The pro-
vision as to fugitives from justice was
re-enacted as part of the revised stat
utes of the United States in 1874. 1t
is as follows:
Whenever the executive authority
of any state or territory demands any
person as fugitive from justice of
the executive authority of any state or
territory to which such person has fled
and produces copy of the indictment
found or an affidavit made before a
magistrate of any state or territory
charging the person demanded with
having committed treason, felony or
other crime, certified as authentic by
the governor or chief magistrate of
the state or territory from which such
person has fled, it shall be the duty of
the executive authority Of the state or
territory to which such person has
fled to cause him to be arrested and
secured and to cause notice of the ar
rest to be given to the executive au--
thority making such demand, or to the
agent of such authority appointed to
receive the fugitive and cause the fugi-
tive to be delivered to such agent
when he shall appear"

for passengers. Ninety days will be
required to build the car, which will
be propelled either by electricity or
gasoline, and if any longer time is re-
quired the passenger train now in SER
vice will be continued until the car is
ready for use.
Time at Ottumwa.
Senator Harper will make an effort
to have the time schedule of the car
arranged SO as to give Ottumwa as
good service as possible. The plan
proposed at present is to have it start
at Fort Madison early in the morning
and early in the afternoon, reaching
Ottumwa during the morning and after
noon. This will give people living along
the line time to come to Ottumwa on
either car, transact their business and
return home the same day.
Freight Service Continues.
The same freight service now furn-
ished on the branch will be continued
after the Introduction of the car, which
will have no effect whatever upon the
freight business of the road.

years the sole authority under which
fugitives from justice were apprehend-
ed. 1t was so in Iowa at first. 1t will
be seen that the statement by the de-
handing governor that the person
whose surrender is required is fugi-
tive from justice would be authority
enough for the executive Of the state
on which demand is made to order the
rendition. 1t was so considered very
often. Governor Kirkwood of this
state was in 1860 confronted with a
demand for the surrender of Barclay
Coppoc as an alleged fugitive from
the state of Virginia, charged with
participation in the John Brown raid.
The requisition was in itself in due
form. But the. accompanying papers
were found to be defective in that they
did not show that criminal proceed
ings had been begun in the state OF
Virginia against the accused. The req
uisition was accordingly not honored.
A somewhat heated correspondence
followed, but the Virginia governor
sent another requisition, which was
not obnoxious to the criticism that de-
feated the former one; whereupon the
rendition was ordered.
In some manner, however, Auditor
Cattell, State Senator ]. B. Grinnell
and Edward Wright. then representa-
tive from Cedar county, got word OF
what was going on, and managed to
send the information to Coppoc one
day before the agent of Virginia ar
rived on the ground, and found his
man out of reach.

1t was then that the legislature en-
acted our present law, requiring posi-

ton before it shall be honored by the
