IOWA FALLS, Ia. Jan. 2.-(Special)-
Spending part of his honeymoon in the
county Jail is the hard luck that John
Crippen of this city is playing in. A short
time ago young Crippen assumed the matri-
monlal yoke AND shortly after was indicted
by the grand jury for larceny by embezzle-
ment. This week he was taken in charge
by Sheriff Walsh and taken to Eldora,
where he entered appearance and pied not
guilty to the indictment. The trouble seems
to grow out of horse deal year or so
ago when Crippen took a horse on debt.

the instrument recorded and a few months
later sold the horse and appropriated the
money He maintains that he had legal
right to dispose of the horse, but the grand
jury evidently found sufficient evidence TO
hold him His case probably will be heard
this term.

CONSERVATIVES CONTROL SPAIN
Vatican Pleased with Inability OF
Liberals TO Form Cabinet
at Madrid.

MADRID. Jan. 25-The Marquis de Ar
MILO having proved unable to reform the
liberal cabinet. which resigned yesterday
as the result OF dissenslons between the
liberals and the radicals over the proposed
law OF associations, the king today called
the conservatives to power. Formal an
nouncement was made that the Marquis de
Armijo had failed to reorganize the cabinet
and that King Alfonso had approved the
following conservative ministry:
Premier-Senor Maura.
Minister OF Foreign Affairs-Conde de AL
lende Saiazar.
Minister OF the Interior-Senor Laoierva.
Minister of Finance-Senor Osma y SculL
Minister Of Public Works-Senor Besaoa.

Minister of Marine-Captaln Fernandea
Nino
Minister of Education-senor Rodrigues
San Pedro
Minister of Justice-Marquis Figuerca.
ROME, Jan 8-The fail of the Spanish
cabinet caused satisfaction at the Vatican,
where 1t is considered that the return to
power of the conservatives, with Senior
Maura, eX-premier and leader OF that
party at the head of the cabinet. Is almost
inevitable, which, It is added, would mean
the abandonment of the anti-clerical move
ment in Spain.
The religious issue has been the root Of
all dissentions, ex-Prime Minister Rios,
Moret and Dominguez believing that Spain
is not ready for radical campaign against
the religious orders and the church gener-
ally. upon which Senior Canelejas, ex-
president OF the chamber OF deputies and
head of the new party known as the ex-
treme liberals insisted The accession Of
Senior Maura to power is regarded as
sweeping victory for the clercals and Is
likely to arouse a revolutionary spirit

to believe that Governor Swettenham OF

they are not prepared either TO confirm or
deny the report. but they admit having
received telegrams OF a confidential nature
from the governor.
II has been fully expected here that
solution of the difficulty would be found In
swettenham's resignation and the reply TO
inquiries received at the colonial ONCE
tended to CONFIRM the report that the gov
ernor had intimated his willingness TO re-
tire from his post. II has been freely
stated in the colonial and other government
Offices that II was quite impossible for
Swettenham to continue in ONCE, not only
because of the incident involving the with
drawal of the American warships from
Kingston. but also on account OF the pro-
tests against his conduct received from the
Inhabitants OF Kingston.

Pump Breoks at InOpportune Time.
The residence of w. II. Heutta gardener
at the corner of Madison and Bennett ave-
nue.. was entirely destroyed by fire shortly
after o'clock yesterday morning. But
for the breaking of the pump in the yard
the house might have escaped destruction,
but as 1t was only the furniture was saved.
The blaze originated in a small summer
kitchen at the rear Of the house. Mr..
Heuitta built fire about o'clock in this
shed and then went into the main part Of
the house. A few minutes later he dis
covered the shed on fire with the flames
making rapid Roadway. Rushing to the
pump he drew a bucket of water and
dashed 1t on the flames, but on returning
for more water discovered that the handle
of the pump was broken and II refused
to work. Neighbors fastened to his as
| sistance and carried water from nearby
premises, but were unable to do so in suf-
ficient quantities to materially check the
! flames
The fire department responded to the
alarm. but as the residence was outside
the fire limits could only use the chemical
engine, which sufficed to keep the blaze
in check long enough to allow the removal
of the furniture
1t was thought possible that the frame
shed in which the blaze originated could
be pulled away from the main part OF the
| house and a team Of horses was hitched
| to it, but 1t refused to move.
The house, which was one and a half
story. containing six rooms, cost 1880 and
was insured for $780,
