spring Mr.. Carroll. the governor
elect. was approached and asked to
pledge himself to veto any board of re-
gents bin which might = to him.
He is said to have dec : :, and to
have let it be known tb g G is going
to be consistently in ia, 3 retrench-
ment all along the lin' ), e board bill
will be introduced by tor Whipple,
and it is said that (; .dy it is prac
''e''ly certain it - 90 thru.
1t is very pro =: :, also that the
pruning knife will applied to some
of the departments in the state house.
for there has been in recent years quite
an increase of expense in some of
these departments.
The session is likely to be concerned
more with strictly business matters
than ever before. The creating OF a
department of insurance is one of the
big topics. The attitude of the in
surance companies has completely
changed in the past year on this sub
ject: formerly they wanted a depart
ment very badly, now they think the
state auditor is just the right man to
have this work. 1t is probable that in
addition there will be revival Of the
movement to effect general shift OF
departments or bureaus to secure
sane and sensible classification The
banking department ought to go to the
treasurer of state, the accounting de-
partment to the secretary of state, the
criminal statistics to the board of pa
role, and so on thru long, list. These
matters will take up much time.
1t is now plain that the only prob
able political question before the leg
islature will be amendment of the elec-
tions or ballot law so that Iowa will
have the true Australian ballot. The
demand for this appears to be strong
and numerous members are insisting
that 1t be taken up by the legislature.
AT present Iowa has only modified
form of the Australian ballot and its
imperfections are known of all. The
primary law will probably be amend
ed in some respects tho this will hard
lys raise any political controversy.
In case of legislative deadlock. or
rather a caucus deadlock. the election
of United States senator would be
postponed and also there would be
some delay in the inauguration. AS at
present scheduled the election of a
senator will occur Jan. 10. but aSdead-
lock of one day would put it off a
week. The inauguration will probably
take place Jan. 13 or IA.

Aged Man Who Escaped From
Band Details the Lynching
OF Captain Ranken
PLEAS FOR LIFE IN VAIN
Taylor Asked Night Riders to Kill Him
and Spare His Younger Companion
His Dash for Liberty a Bold One
Can Not Identify AssaiIants-
Preacher Barred From Mains Com
ment.

Union City, Tenn, Dec. 19.--Follow-
ing his caution to the press yesterday
not to print the testimony in the night
rider cases, Judge Jones cautioned the
ministers of the local churches not to
refer to the cases in their sermons
Sunday, since the jurors might be
present.
First witness was Col. r. T. Taylor,
companion of Capt. Quentin Ranken,
on the night Of the murder. Taylor
was awakened by call and at the
same instant rear window OF his
room was raised, and two pump guns
were thrust in, followed by two black
masked heads. But not word was
spoken until the leader Of the band
entered the room by the door. The
night riders separated Taylor from
Ranken and Taylor did not see Ran
ken from the time they left their
room until he saw Ranken murdered
They told Taylor they proposed to
kill him. When the night riders reached
a forled ash tree in the bank OF a
slough. they halted Taylor and
marched Ranken to the foot OF thu
tree.
Given Time to Pray.
A rope was adjusted and thrown
over the fork, then some night rider
said: "Give him time to pray
IT have attended to that" was Ran
kens quiet reply. A masked man
seized the rope and drew Ranken up
until his toes scarcely touched thu
ground. From the lips of the swaying
figure came a muffled appeal:
you are choking me, gentlemen; I
pray you to. let me down."
One of the riders fired a shot into
Ranken's body even as he pleaded for
his life. Instantly a fusillade came.
most of the riders, however shooting
into the air.
Taylor Breaks for Liberty.
Taylor turned to his captors and
said: II am tired. gentlemen, let me
sit down." He crouched to his knees,
ready to spring, and waited until the
guns were empty. Then when the fir
ing stopped he jumped into the waters
of the slough. Instantly the firing was
renewed. Taylor dived. but heard bull
lets striking the water. He swan un-
der the water to a big log, on which
he lay for two hours, when he swan
to the opposite shore and took to the
woods. Suffering fearfully from thirst
and imagining he saw masked men in
every thicket, Taylor wandered about
until Wednesday, when he found
friends.
Plead for Bankers Life.
just before the night riders killed
Ranken, Taylor said: Gentlemen, I
am an old man. can not expect to
live many more years. BY killing me
you will not be cheating me of much.
But Captain Ranken is a young man
with many years before him. Do not
kill him."
The leader curtly replied: "Shut up!"
The aged witness made a most pro-
found impression. He was asked only
one question on cross examination
did he recognize any Of the riders pos
itively on the night Of the crime. He
did not.
