ALLEGED POISONER WHO
CANNOT Be EXTRAOITEO
Governor Cummins Says He Has
No Authority to Send Mrs.
Dye to Pierre.
IOWA LAW DEFECTIVE

DES- MONIES, Ia, March S.-Mrs. Sher-
man Dye, of Boone, accused of sending
poisoned candy to Miss Rena Nelson at
Pierre S D., OF whom she was jealous
and from which the Pierre woman died.

can she be tried for murder in Iowa.
This was the text of the decision handed
down by Governor Cummins to-day after
a consultation with Attorney General Null
Ian. Governor Cummins says that the Iowa
law will have TO be amended in this re-
spect and will send a special message to the
Legislature recommending such change.
''The ruling / am compelled to make on
this application exhibits a grave defect in
the law says the Governor. Under the
federal statute. as construed by every re-
cent decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States and by an older case in our
own Supreme Court, l have no authority
whatever to extradite Mrs. Dye. The hold
ings i'm this opinion are clear and explicit
TO the effect that TO warrant extradition the
person accused must have been personally
in the State where the crime was com
mitted and fed therefrom after the commits
sion of the crime. Mrs. Dye was not in
south Dakota and therefore could not have
fled from that State L regret this con-
clusion, because. III Mrs. Dye is guilty of
murder she must be tried for that offense
in South Dakota or not at all, unless the
statute be CHANGED.

ST. LOUIS, March S.-The frame work

The cablegram was from the Department

PRISONERS PLAN TO SAW
THEIR WAY TO LIBERTY
Tools and Acid Found Hidden in
Rafter-String from Window
Led to Discovery.
ROSS THE. RINGLEADER

Through a string hanging from a window
on the second floor of the Marion county
Jail building a plan of escape was discov-
cred, and before the criminals could saw
their way to liberty through the iron bars
the saws, which had been passed TO them
from the outside, were taken away. Eddie
Ross, the ringleader in the attempted deliv-
cry, was separated from his companions
About 1880 o'clock Saturday night, while
several young men were passing the Jail
on the Pearl-street side they noticed the
string dangling from a window in the
second story of the building. An iron wash
er had been attached to the string to lower
il to the ground.
The matter was reported 10 Captain Hy-
land. The captain Immediately investi-
gated. and. finding that one of the windows
on>the second floor of the Jail was open,
reported the matter to Night Jailer Travis.
Travis Immediately began an inVeSuga-
tion on the inside of the Jail, but Ross
and his companions Johnson Peck and
Vance Johnson, had discovered that the
string was broken and had drawn the re-
naming piece back into the building. They
had tied the string around a Broom. and
reaching the broom through the bars, had
forced the window open. Friends on the
outside tied four steel saws and bottle OF
acid to be used on the bars to the string.
A search of the cellroom in which the
men were confined generally known as
United States prisoners row, led to the dis
covery of the four saws hidden top of
the steel rafter running through the mid
die of the ceiling. The bottle. with the
acid empted from il, found later in
the toilet room.
Hoping that the friends of the men would
return some time during the night. Sheriff
MetZger watched for hours. No trace of
the confederates on the outside has been
found.

the Jail waiting to be sent to Jefferson

alleged wife murderer, and has been al

STUDENT SHIFTS SEAT AND
SCHOOL BOARD THE BLAME
Merrill Need Not Apologize, as
Negro Girl Seatmate Is in New
Room at Shortridge.


Holding that the case of Paul Merrill was
IAN appeal involving no question whatever
but one of school discipline" the Board of
School Commissioners last night decided
that Paul Merrill a student at Shortridge
High School. who was suspended because
he refused to occupy a seat beside a
negress, will be readmitted to the school
and will occupy the seat which was as
signed TO him.
Merrill appealed the case to the board
through his attorney, Caleb S. Denny
After a secret session, lasting for almost
two hours last night, the board rendered
its decision. Awaiting the verdict in an
outer room sat young Merrill with his
father and mother. When the board ad-
journed Mr.. Denny read its decision to the
boy, who was seemingly satisfied. saying
that he would resume his seat this MORN
ing
The fact that the girl to whom Merrill
objected removed her seat, on request, to
another room. proved the case to have
been a tempest in a teapot" After an
investigation, the members of the board
declare that the question of an apology did
not enter into the case and had not been
requested from Merrill by the school au-
thorities In resuming his seat. he will in
no way come in contact with the girl. The
facts of the case as ''ferreted out" by the
Board of School Commissioners and its de-
cisiOn were as follows:
BOARD MAKES FINDING.
IAN appeal having been taken to the
Board of School Commissioners from the
decision of the superintendent of schools,
relative to the suspension of Paul Merrill,
the board has made an inquiry into the
facts of the case and has considered state
ments from the superintendent OF schools,
the principal the teacher and the pupil
under suspension and from disinterested
witnesses.
LAS a result of this inquiry the board
finds that the pupil in question. on Feb. 16
refused TO occupy the seat assigned to him
by his teacher and was thereupon suspended
for so long as he should continue his re-
fusaI TO occupy the seat to which he had
been assigned Upon his appeal TO the
principal OF Shortridge High School the
suspension was upheld.
In this appeal to the board the pupil
has given as the reason for his refusal to
occupy the seat assigned to him that in the
| seat adjacent was young woman who was
personally Objectionable TO him. on Mon
\ day morning. March Z, before TIE school
session began, the young woman, near
| whom the suspended pupil had refused to
! sit requested the school authorities to
/ tranfer her TO another room in order TO re-
/ lieve her from the embarrassment which
i the acts OF tfe suspended pupE were CauS-
/ ing her. This request was granted.
''The suspended pupil has appealed 10 the
board AT the time this appeal reached the
/ board the personal objection OF the sus-
/ pended pupil had been eliminated from the
/ case by the act of the young woman and
i the case then became and. in the judgment
/ of the board, still is an appeal involving
no question whatever but one of school
discipline.
/ The young man will be readmitted and
will take the seat that had been assigned
him..
