HOUSEKEEPING
CHARGE IS HEARD
IN POLICE COURT

A peculiar situation was developed
this morning in the case against Mrs.
Kate Morgan, charged with house
breaking. She was arrested yester-
day afternoon on a warrant sworn out
by II. Hammond, who lives in a dou-
bic tenament house with Mrs. Morgan.
Monday 81 was hid about the house
and in the evening 81 was missing.
Tuesday Mary Hammond, IA years
old, hid the money in several places,
and it is said, Mrs. Morgan questioned
the girl where she placed the money.
The key to the front door was hid on
the side of the house, and several wit
.nesses swore they saw Mrs. Morgan
around where the key was hid, and
saw her at the front door of the
house. After hearing the evidence
Judge Cross thought a jury should
pass on the case and recognized Mrs.
Morgan for her appearance before the
grand jury.

Allison Endorsed But Stand
patters'' Have no Say in Tar.
i'll Plank in Platform.

Des Moines, March 19.-The Re
publican state convention yesterday
elected four delegates at large to the
national convention, instructed them
for Taft, endorsed Senator Allison bs
a vote of GIG 1924 TO 5O7 1924, and
approved the plank OF the platform
calling for a revision of the tarlff at q
special session of congress.
The Allison people dominated the
convention from opening to close ana
had things their own way throughout.
The Cummins people, although de-
feated in the convention, took espe-
cial delight in having. as they de-
clared. forced the stand-patters to in
dorse the plank calling for revision
of the tariff and they made 1t point
to frequently remind the Allison peo-
Pile of the fact.
The latter insisted, however, that
there were as many revisionists in
their ranks as with the Cummins men
and declared that the vote in the con-
yention showed conclusively the rela-
tive popularity of the two men
throughout the state.
II was generally expected before
the final session of the convention that
there would be a majority and minor
ity report on the tariff, and the Cum
minis men had prepared to make n
strong fight for the administration OF
the Ohio plank When the committee
actually settled down to work, how
ever, it was evident thaht the Allison
people were determined to endorse
the plank themselves and the only
fight made on the report of the COM
mittee on resolutions was against the
endorsement OF Allison.

with them no one knows what kind
of weather, are due the latter part of
the week, the 21st. so those hasty
folk who jumped from fiannels to
summer weights should get out the
old garb and have II ready.

frost for the stores with their spring
openings and the countenanees of the

gloomy as the skies all day.

midnight, and after it had died down
rain began falling heavily. The down
