GRAIN TRUST FORMED?
Declared Work Of Card Committees
is Contrary to Law.

Des Moines, Oct. 7.-Prominent
judges and attorneys are of the opin-
ion that the members Of the Iowa
Grain Dealers association who met
at the Grant club and adjusted prices
for grain in Iowa, causing cards with
these prices to be sent out, made
themselves liable to prosecution under
the state law.
1t is rumored that secretary Geo.
Wells of the association, and other
prominent leaders, claim that they are
safe, for the reason that they con-
stantly kept in consultation with COM
petent attorneys, and acted according
| to legal advice in all matters pertain
| ing to the cards and adjustment OF
profit margins. 1t is explained that
w. Case who sends out the cards, is
| not a member of the association, and
! that the members who ordered cards
! sent to their representatives out over
the state, carefully avoided open rup-
ture of the law.
A number Of the most prominent
! judges and attorneys in the city, how
! ever, say that the intent shown upon
| the face of these operations govern,
and if any subterfuge has been prac-
ticed to avoid disobeying the verbal
letter Of the statutes, it will not hold
! good in court

Believed, However, That Fleet Has

st. Petersburg, Oct. 7.-While the
admiralty claims to have no knowl-
edge of the departure of the Port
Arthur squadron, it is inferable
rom the way in which the report
nat such an event had transpired
1as been received, that definite con-
firmation would not create surprise.
The Associated Press is informed
20 Admiral Wirennius to break
through the blockading feet, but it is
;acitly admitted that the admiral
mas discretionary powers to leave
Port Arthur should the situation de-
nand or conditions be propitious. In
naval circles 1t is pointed out that
Wednesday morning the conditions
might have been favorable for a
sortie. Heavy storms ragged Tuesday
and doubtless compelled the block
tding vessels, and particularly the
torpedo boats to seek shelter, thus
leaving the way clear for a dash TO
Vladivostok. Some naval officers,
however, are inclined to think the
firing that was heard at Che Foo may
only have been directed at blockade
runners.
Significant orders have been Issued
to keep time expired members of all

SHERcLIFFE ARRESTED.
Notorious Robber Again in Stellar
Role.

Role.
Des Moines, Oct. GA telegram
from Council Bluffs last night con-
veyed the intelligence that Frank
Shercliffe was arrested at Logan yes
terday by Sheriff Barnes of jefferson
county, on the indictment returned in
1900 charging Shercliffe with the rob-
berry of the Lockridge depot.
Attorney Thomas of the Omaha
Civic federation, under whose protec-
ton Sherclffe he's been since his re-
lease from the Fort Madison prison,
at once began habeas corpus proceed
ings to secure Shercliffe's release.
Thomas says that he believes the
purpose of Shercliffe's arrest at this
time is to hinder his appearance
against Tom Dennison Of Omaha.
Thomas is one Of the attorneys who is
pushing the prosecution against Den
nison.
The Jefferson county authorities no.
tilted Warden Jones, before Sher-
cliffe'N release, that they would be at
the prison gate to arrest him when he
walked out, on the Lockridge indict-
ment. When the time came they were
not there, claiming 20 have lost the
papers.
Lockridge is located in the eastern
part Of Jefferson county, on the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy railroad. 1t
was robbed March 20, 1890.

Is dethroned from the highest salaried
position in the world, B. F. Winchell
reinstated, and business along the line
will now begin to hum.
President Loree resigned as a result
Of the fight for the control of the Rock
Island and Alton railways. He was
under contract for salary of $4,000
a year for five years, the money to be
paid whether he served the entire
time or only two days Of it. That
brought $375,000 Of the $S75,000. The
remaining 100000 was a bonus to in
duce him to leave the presidency Of
the Baltimore & Ohio and accept the
executive position for the Rock Island
system.
Loree's resignation was the result
OF a long fight between the Moore
brothers and eastern capital interests.
The battle was largely between Loree,
supreme executive head Of the sys-
tenn, and B. F. Winchell, president of
the Rock Island Railway company.
Winchell won the day and is now the
sole executive head of the gigantic
railway company.
President Winchell declares the
shops will be Immediately opened and
the Rock Island road will be placed
upon it's former active basis.

PEACE CONGRESS WORK.
Session Held In Boston Makes Good
Impression.

Boston, Oct. 10-There were two
aspects memorable in their nature,
according to the delegates themselves,
which have made a pronounced i'm
| preston during the deliberations Of
the International Peace congress,
which was brought to a close on Sat
urday in this city, after many meet.
ings extending throughout the week.
| One of these was that the congress,
| together with the numerous public
| gatherings, which were held under It's
| auspices, constituted one of the most
remarkable educational influences ev-
| err observed in America. The second
| aspect or conviction was that this
years congress should prove of vast
| efficacy towards the attainment Of
universal peace, If an aroused public
sentiment and a thorough exposition
of the absurdity and horror Of war
| fare was to be of any avail whatso-
| ever.
| The congress was adjourned to con-
| tinue it's work in 1905 at Lucerne,
| Switzerland. Besides adopting reso-
| lutions denouncing war and calling
| for the creation of international obi
| gatory arbitration treaties, the con-
gress passed upon specific conditions.
| One of it's last acts was to recommend
an inquiry by the powers into the Con-
go Free State, which is at present un-
der The personal rule of King Leopold
of Belgium.
The present Russo-Japanese war
was treated by resolution calling up
on the emperors of the two countries
to end the conflict at once, or, that
failing, for the powers to exercise the
authority granted by article 81 Of
The Hague pact and intervene, so that
the war might be terminated. In this
connection the congress suggested to
the powers the adoption Of positive
peace making and peace insuring trea.
ty under which war would be possible
but for a brief period.

structed railway, carts and junks on
the Lao and Tai Use rivers. The
railroad traffic is uninterrupted, and
additional soldiers continue to ar
rive. Outpost skirmishes are con.

The troops are standing the climate

Cold weather is just beginning.
st. Petersburg, Oct. THE war
commission sat until an unusually
late hour last night, but adjourned
without issuing additional news from
the front.
Expert opinion is divided as to
whether a serious engagement is
likely to occur at Mukden, but the
dispatch from that city reporting all
unusual activity there gives rise to
much speculation. 1t is impossible
to say whether this condition pres
ages the evacuation of Mukden, but in
any case it is evident that something
of unusual interest is pending. Some
even are bold enough to take it that
General Kuropatkin is preparing to
assume the offensive; but in view OF
the fact that most reliable advices
credit him with only about six d.
visions at Mukden, this is exceeding
Iy improbable. 1t is thought more
likely that the commotion had to do
with one or the other of the Japan
csc f1anking columns, which the Rus.
sian commander may have been pre-
pairing to check.

Judge Says Arrest Was Caused b.
Wrong Motive.

Wrong Motive.
Council Bluffs, Oct. Frank
Shercriffe will not be taken to Fair.
field to stand trial on Indictment for
robbery of Lockridge depot.
Judge Thornell of the district court
at Logan yesterday overruled the de-
murrer to the application for writ
Of habeas corpus in Shercliffe's be-
half. Sheriff Barnes of Jefferson
county was accordingly denied the
right to arrest Sherciiffe and take
him to Fairfield.
In overruling the demurrer, Judge
Thornell held the present desire to
place Shercliffe on trial at Fairfield
did not appear to be in good faith,
since the indictment, had been pend
ing there for fourteen years. and de-
spite the fact that the law requires
the speedy trial of criminal cases,
no previous effort had been made go
arrest Shercliffe for the Lockridge
depot robbery. Shercliffe will con-
sequently remain in Logan to appear
as star witness for the state in the
Pollock diamond robbery case against
Tom Dennison.
In order that no accidents" may
happen to him, Sh.rcliffe has been
given room in the Harrison county
Jail, where he will sleep.
A position has been secured for
him in Logan furniture store,
where he may work until after the
Dennison trial.
