wear as to the SUI ccessors to the two
officials.
The companies making up the Fifty
sixth regiment are located in the towns
| of the northwest quarter of the state
About a year ago Colonel Humphrey
| who for some years has been trav-
cling man, removed to Chicago to take
| charge of an office there. He would
have resigned at that time If he mad
been definitely certain that he would
| continue his residence there. He has
| now decided not to return to Iowa. In
! the meantime Lieutenant Colonel
| Cooke has removed to California, 9th
erwise he would likely have been
elected as his successor. Now the
| field is thrown wide open and there is
field full of candidates.
There are three battalions in the
regiment and the major of each bat
talon is candidate for the position
of colonel of the regiment. When the
maneuvers We're under way it is said
that deal was fixed up between Ma
jor George NJ. Parker of Sac City and
Major w. T. Chantland of Fort Dodge
that Major Parker, who is an elderly
man, should be colonel for two years
and Chantland lieutenant colonel, and
that at the end Of the two years
Chantland was to be elected lieutenant
colonel. The election is by a vote of
the membership Of the entire regi-
ment and they were to use their in
fiuence in the matter Major Parker
is veteran of the civil war.
The friends of Major Timothy J..
Mahoney. a shrewd lawyer and polt
clan of Boone, rather objected to this
cut-and-dried method of parceling out
the offices, and jumped him into the
race as a candidate for colonel. Then
Chantland fearing that in the shut
file Parker would lose out and Mahoney,
the Junior major, would be jumped
over his head. boosted Chantland for
candidate and broke the agreement
with Parker. Now all three are can
didates. Ordinarily the elections are
called for all vacancies at one time
but Adiutant General Thrift has de-
cided in this instance to call one cleo
ton at time. The election on col
onel will be called first and if a good
candidate loses on that office the
guard can still have an opportunity to
avail itself of his services in the office
of lieutenant colonel.
Following the election of colonel and
lieutenant colonel there is likely to be
vacancies as majors to which captains
will probably be candidates and then
elections to fill vacanciese as cap
tains.
Thru the arrest of H. F. Schultz of
Storm Lake, made defendant in the
initial prosecution under the Iowa an
ti-pass law, that statute will be quick
ly put to the test i'll the supreme court
Attorney General H. w. Byers di-
rected the prosecution of Mr.. Schultz
on a charge of accepting and using
free pass, on the Illinois Central
railroad. This is an indictable offense
and the warrant was issued from
justice office at Storm Lake, Thursday
afternoon, at the solicitation of Assist
ant Attorney General Cosson. repre-
senting the state legal department.
Under advice of the attorney for the
Illinois Central Railroad company. the
Hon. Thomas D. Healy, Mr.. Schultz
pleaded not guilty before the magis-
trate and pending his preliminary
hearing on Oct 49, his bond was fixed
at $1,000.
Acting again on the advice of Mr..
Healy, Mr.. Schultz declined to give
bond and was placed constructively in
custody OF the county. The purpose Of
this proceeding, of course, was to sue
out a writ Of habeas corpus and test
the validity of the anti-pass law, inn
mediately and directly, in the supreme
court of the state.
Probably this application will be
made at the state house today, altho
of the grounds on which
and to base its claim that the act is
raay require more
time. If the act is defective as to pro-
hibiting passes to attorneys for serv-
ices it will be invalid also, it is sup
posed as to newspaper and kindred
contracts.
