Two Cent Bills Soon.
On Friday of the present week the

Gus two cent fare bills which have

mostly been reviewed in these letters.
The latest measure of the kind to be
placed before the assembly was intro
duced in the house Saturday by Jones
Of Montgomery and in the senate by
Gillilland of Mills county. 1t varies
from most of the others in the fact
that 1t makes room for family mile

permits the branch lines OF the differ
ent roads to charge two and one-halr
cents per mile for general Transports
ton. The provisions OF the bill are
as follows:

Measure Introduced in the House
Aims Blow at Grain Pool.
Des Moines, Feb. 5.-The first hear
ing to be granted to railroad company
attorneys and representatives by the
committees on railroads in the legis.
lature is in progress today. The mat.
ter taken up by the committee is the
Doran bill, introduced by Representa-
tive Doran of Boone, which provides
that stock shipped from points in
Iowa to market must be transported
by the railroad companies at rate of
speed averaging eighteen miles per
hour. The stock shippers Of the state
have entered many complaints as to
delay in cars of live stock arriving at
their destination. The same bill was
before the legislature last year, but
was killed in the lower house.
At the hearing today the railroads
are presenting their side of the ques-
tlon. Representatives or the Meat
Producers association will be given
hearing later on the measure.
At a recent meeting of the joint
railroad committee of both houses OF

IS RUN DOWN

Suit Case Into Which
Loot Was Stuffed.
duplicates WOMAN AT WHOSE
HOUSE HE WAS FOUND, AND
SHE is ALSO ARRESTED-HE

A LOSING WAY BEFORE HIS
ROBBERY OF THE BANK.
BY AssocIatnd Press.

New York, July 5.-Charles B. Run
yam, the missing assistant teller of
inc Windsor Trust Company, who last
Saturday stuIIed $4,000 of the bank s
money into a suit case and, after
shaking hands with the bank officers,
who had given him a vacation, took
his leave and disappeared, was Gap
tured this afternoon in the home of
Mrs Cotter. The sum of $64 900 was
found in his suit case. Runyan said
he gave $4,000 to Mrs. Cotter, who
was detained by the police.
That Runyan was not the immacu-
late young man his employers
thought he was up TO the day he went
off with his suit case stuffed with the
trust company's money, is an estab-
lished fact Fer weeks before his dis
appearance he had been specializing
in stocks under the name Of Martin
Chase. Speculation accounts that he
carried with three stock brokerage
houses have been uneartAed. He had
sustaind heavy losses in these ven
lures and at least two weeks before
he fed he stole $4,000 to make good
his margiped account 1t IS believed
the $4,000 was stolen at various
times and the thefts may have eX-
tended over a period of several
months. On July 1 the periodical
checking up of the trust company's
cash on hand would have revealed
this shortage and it is believed Run
van decided to get away with all he
could.
