DIES MONIES, Oct. Z. Especially
Because it would disclose to her grown son
her former life of shame and might wreck
the happy home of a Des Moines business
man of prominence, a Davenport woman
refuses to testify before the State Board Of
Parole, though her testimony would free
George Weems Of the charge of the muir
der of Conductor Ridpath. Ridpath was
murdered in this. city fifteen years ago, be-
Ing shot on the street by hold-up men.
Weems, a formersD Dallas county farm boy,
was convicted With two others and sem
fenced to life Imprisonment.
At the time Of his conviction he main
tanned that he was Innocent and that he
was in the room of a woman of the red
light district then on Fourth street. The
woman disappeared the day after the
murder and never was located till recently.
She is now a woman of respectfully In
Davenport and has a grown son we'll to-
ward mans estate, and in spite OF every
! effort Of the attorneys for weems she re-
fuses to testify and disclose her identity
and the State Board of Parole which Is
| considering the application of Weems for
a pardon has no authority to compel her
to come before It.
Weems' story is that he heard a shot
in the street and ran out and met Rid
path staggering across the street and as
sisted him to the sidewalk. He then
heard the police coming, and being a
little under the Influence of liquor HIM
self, ran away. Later he was arrested
with blood on his clothes. He was UNI
doubtedly with the men who committed
the murder earlier in the evening.
The name under which the woman went
when in Des Moines was Kitty Leary, as
remembered by Weems. She claims it
was Kitty Miller. infatuated with a
Des Moines man who was then already
married, she allowed him to fit up rooms
for her. where she was maintained with
lavish splendor till he tired of her and
left her. Then she was forced to take
up the life of the woman of the red light
district, and was living such a life when
Weems went to her rooms. She now
claims that Weems is nothing but a
stranger to her; that she has now a legiti-
mate son by a lawfully married husband
and is living a respected life, and tina
the man whom she first loved is in re.

CONVINCED HE WAS INSANE
Prisoner Certain His Mind Was on
When He Cut Man ON the
Face.

James Patton, a prisoner in the county
jail, is firmly convinced he was insane
when he slashed Peter Rump across the
face with a knife and his trial has been
delayed until IN examination of his mind
can be made by DIR Tilden of the insanity
commission. Patton says he does not
know why he cut Rump and he thinks his
mind must be deranged.
Sometime ago Patton went into Rump's
restaurant on Fourteenth street between
Dodge and Douglas and ate a meal. He
then took a nap in his chair. Rump ex-
planned to him the chairs were for boarding
purposes exclusively and not for dodgers
and suggested that he pay for the meal
and leave. Patton paid for the meal. but
a few minutes later came back and was
thrown out by Rump. He returned again
and slashed Rump across the throat with
his knife and stabbed him in the breast.
Mrs. Rump interfered and was also cut.
Patton was to have been tried Wednesday
but his case was postponed at his request.

Iowa Lnnd Productive.

IOWA FALLS, Ia, oct. I-Nspecial)-
When a renter on an Iowa farm can make
an income about equal to the salary of the
governor OF the state in which he lives and
can afford to do his travelling overland in
his own automobile there is little wonder
that good Iowa farm land is destined to
go to the $500 an acre mark as set by Sec
rotary Wilson. Yet this is what Peter
Muehring, who lives in Grundy county, has
done this year. Mr., Muehring is farming
leo acres and has paid his rent of the farm
with thirty acres of oats and had enough
cash left over to put 500 in the bank, The
oats went over sixty bushels TO the acre.
The other 100 acres will do as well or bet
ter than the thirty acres Of oats. The
corn will go fifty bushels to the acre and
the potatoes will yield So an acre. besides
the pasture. which has yielded better than
800 a month in milk checks during the
spring and summer.

BIGGEST LAND OPENING RUSH
Thousands Of Homeseekers Pour
Through Omaha to Trip County.
RAILROADS TAXED TO UTMOST
Estimated tina FIFTY Thousand Per-
sons VIII nave Filled for Land
BY the Last nay Of
Period.

omaha has been filled with homeseek-
ers enroute TO the opening OF lanu III
Trim county, South Dakota, wheie the
government is about to hold a draw ng LOT
nearly 100000 acres Of arabic lana lhsre
are five points Of registration, four OF
which are reached by passing thIoush
omaha over the Northwestern road al
though crowds are going to O'Ncih o'e'
the burlington from Sioux CITY. The bulk
Of the heavy travel IS being cared for by
the Northwestern.
That road moved 1000 peoplc from Omaha
Tuesday and 1000 more Wednesday WIN
several thousand moving east who nav
registered. The movement is Unprecedented
IN the annals OF land opening.
Prior to Tuesday night the Northwestern
had taken 1900 people to Gregory Dallas
o'Nsiil and Valentine the pointa OF regis
tration. At 10 o'clock wednesday morning
there we're ten trains OF ten cars each on
the Northwestern line between Omaha ana
OMEN. over 1000 people were enroute east
over the same road at the same time. The
Nortbwestern had two more sections out
Al 4 o'clock wednesday afternoon and three
sections for the evening business. with
ali Of that crowd being moved over a
single track road there has not been q
single accident or any disorder Of any kind.
Largest Rush Wednesday.
Omaha had a larger rush Wednesday
probably h will be here later be-
cause of the homeseekers' rates which
brought SO many in Tuesday night
land Wednesday morning. The satur-
day rush, however, is expected to be
larger than ever. The depots have been
most crowded places and the depot men,
who were overworked by the Ak-Sar-Ben
crowds, are still at their posts. The North
western road is handling nearly as many
= people each day as It did during the week
when Ak-sar-Ben rates were in effect.
The Burlington road turned over to the
Northwestern Wednesday morning thirteen
coaches filled with people from Kansas
city. and the Missouri Pacific had a Ions
train well filled and I'm spite of that fact
there we're over 10000 people left STANDING
in Union station at Kansas city who were
unable to set a train for Omaha Tuesday
night.
The Northwestern has over $50 extra
coaches of It's own in service and has Dor
rowed every available car from other lines
Even the suburban cars running in anC
out OF Chicago have been pressed into thi!
homeseekers business and still there arc
not enough cars to handle the business
The management says that in all probabilit,
the big rush win be cleaned up in a few
days, and then the large number Of trains
which are kept constantly on the move
will be able TO handle the business.

MORE HELP TO REGISTER
Extra Clerks Needed, as boards Tues
day Could Not DO the
work.

Two extra clerks will be provided by the
republican ard democratic committees In
all registration places, where congested
conditions exist, on the next registration
day. October "a, and there will be no
reason for the failure of all voters to reg
lister at that time. This was decided upon
Wednesday morning by Frank Crawford,
chairman OF the republican committee, and
L. J. TePoel, in charge Of registration for
the democratic committee.
Hundreds Of voters were turned away
from the registration booths Tuesday, UNI
able to register. Five books have to be
kept by the three Judges and clerks and It
proved to be an impossibility to register
all applicants between the hours OF 8 in
the morning and 9 in the evening. In some
precincts the Judges worked until IL o'clock
and registered all who were in the room
before Q o'clock. IN other precincts, how
ever, the judges refused to register any
after .. even though they were in the
room, claiming that registration after that
hour would not be legal.
Mr.. TePoel was In the Fifth precinct Of
the Ninth ward when the polls closed and
counted forty-five men who were turned
away. Between Z o'clock and . O'Clock
twenty men left the place, seeing that II
NOulu Dt lHlpDcHiDlb % TtklSitE.
Assistant City Attorney Rine was consulted
and while he said the registrars could not
be compelled to work after 9 o'clock in
the evening, he said It would be perfectly
legitimate for the parties to furnish extra
clerks to assist In the work, provided there
was no extra charge to the city. Voters
whose names are Inscribed on the books
after . o'clock are legally registered, said
the attorney.
It may not be necessary to provide extra
clerks in all the precincts, but before next
registration day the committees will as
| certain tho conditions and send extra clerks
(paid by the committees to those registra-
tion booths where there yet remains a large
registration.
The registration Tuesday. the second reg
i~stration day. was heavy, but there will be
no why of ascertaining how many regis
tered until the books are checked up. City
Clerk Buffers force will begin work on
the books Thursday morning and hopes to
be able to tell how many registered within
three or four days time. Considering the
heavy registration the first day, September
I, party leaders assert that the registration
Tuesday was heavier than they expected.
