CHASED TO EUROPE.
Des Moines officer Close on Trail O
WiIIouohby. Wanted On Two States,

Des Moines April 11.-An Iowa de-
tective will arrest Dillon C. Will
loughby when he lands from the
steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II on it's ar
rival in an English port.
A Des Moines officer is twelve hours
behind one of the smoothest land
agents in this country. whose latest
escapade was in fleeing, it is said, over
porty Iowans, the chief victim being
Chief of Police James w. Jones of Des
Moines.
Altogether the real estate man is said
to have secured about $4,000 in Den
yer, Des Moines and Chicago, and
when the local police. headed by Chief
Jones, get thru with him, they will turn
him over to Denver officers, who say
they are also very anxious to make
his acquaintance again.
Willoughby came to Des Moines
about six months ago, opening offices
on Fifth street and claiming to rep
resent a Colorado company, for which
he signed himself as treasurer. He
did a good business from the start,
selling much land all over Iowa to
various persons.
Among the men he interested was
Carmen Layton. a rich farmer, whom
he convinced that he had good trade.
Most of the land Offered for sale by
him was said to be irrigated by bitches
already built or about to be built, and
he sold with the land the right to use
the water for irrigation purposes Many
of Willoughby's victims are in Denver.

THE WoMEN's CLUB.
e. v. Brumbaugh Addresses Meeting
on Wn,nnar. If Ainh School Anev


on Dangers Of High School Age"
There was a good attendance We'd
nesday afternoon at the meeting of the
| Marshalltown Womens club. During
the business session, Mrs c. A. Eadie
and Mrs Will Wallace were named as
delegates to The Iowa State Federation
Mrs. j. D. Vail and Mrs. r. e. Sears as
their respective alternates. Mrs. George
Darling goes by virtue of her office as
president of the club.
The Wednesday program, which was
in charge of the mothers child study
department.. opened with pleasing vo-
cal number by Miss Margaret Bowes, of
Eagle Grove, who kindly responded to
an encore. Mr.. Ralph Xix acted as
her accompanist. The address of the
afternoon was given by Principal e. V.
Brumbaugh, of the high school, on The
Dangers and Temptations of the High
School Age" and his observations, he
announced, were distinctly applicable
to our own city and high school. His
plea was for cooperation in bringing
about a more reasonable and sane situ-
alton. and a better understanding and
control. by parents, of their children.
Statistics as to the causes for leav-
ing high school before graduation,
were dwelt upon in detail. Mr.. Brum
baugh said that the the first danger, is
that the pupil may prove unfit or un
able to complete the course. Unde:
general temptations he classed the in
creased and growing sense of maturity.
lack of confiding in parents, excessive
hero or heroine worship, and a new and
greater realization of the distinction
between good and evil He said that
the greatest danger to a boy at this
time was lack of kind but firm and
definite control, as his will power is
then lacking in strength and firmness,
of which the average parent is totally
unaware. Features of social life, a
tendency toward dependence on some-
one else in their studies, and among
the girls particularly, Stiffness of an
emotional nature, were also put under
that head. The dangers, he said, may
be classed under three departments,
those affecting the social life
of the students. those touching the
character and moral life, and those af-
fecting the intellectual welfare.
Speaking of the growth of fraterni-
ties ana SOrorltleS MIR. Brnnbaugh
scored severely the silly" and often
times harmful limitations practiced re-
sulting in school rule and even worse
violations. Besides detracting from
scholarship, and quite often making
professional liars" of their members,
he said that they introduced an expen-
sive method of entertaining, and often
excluded meritorious students from
high school offices. He said that in the
case of local fraternities they had re-
suited in nearly every instance in
loss of scholarship standing.

warmer they are likely to be still more

Country demand for stockers and

lately and the volume of business is not
up TO the standard. Local buyers have
accumulated good many cattle. and
tho they have disposed of a big share
of them. they still have more on hand
than they need, and are rather bearish
in their purchases. No doubt the down

NOTHING TO SAY AT PRESENT

Hearing Before the Commerce Com
mission Leading Up to the Present
CONTROVERSY.

New York, April iii knew that
this was coming and am prepared fol
it,"
This was L. H. Harriman's reply
when he was asked how he should
meet the latest move of the interstate
commerce commission to force him to
tell the secrets of his gigantic railroad
manipulations.
Il have nothing to say now in re-
gard to what the interstate commerce
commission has done" he continued
Il am not doing any talking just at
present"
The stomach pump" is to be used
on e. H. Hartman by the interstate
commerce commission.
According to decision reached by
the interstate commerce commission,
Hartman will be made to appear in a
United States circuit court in the state
OF New York in answer to proceedings
to be instituted to compel him to an
swer certain questions which he re-
fused to answer when he was on the
stand at the recent hearing by the
commission in New York.
The hearing before which Mr.. Har-
riman appeared was held in the latter
part of February and 1t was in con-
nection with certain transactions OF the
Union Pacific that Mr.. Hartman, on
the advice of counsel, refused to an
swer the questions put to him.
1t was brought out in the testimony
that the Union Pacific owned a large
amount of Southern Pacific stock. MIR.
Hartman was asked whether and, and
if so how much OF that stock belonged
to himself, when he bought it and what
price he paid for it, but he declined to
answer.
Another question which he refused
to answer, and upon which the COM
mission desires light, was whether any
of the directors Of the Union Pacific
were interested in the sale of certain
shares of stock OF the New York Cen
trail railroad at the time they were sold
to the Union Pacific.
