TRIAL OF JUNklN TO BE
HELD AT cENTERvlLLE.
Continued From Page ~


fully justify that opinion. hence short
ly after his arrest the defendant has
not been kept in this county because
OF the fear on the part of the officers
having him in custody that he could not
be protected. The Jail here has been
visited by mob searching for Junkin.
The same. thing has occurred at AL
bja, where he was for time confined,
those seeking him there claiming to
come from Ottumwa He was later
confined in the jail of Keokuk county,
from which he was taken to the pen
itentiary at Ft. Madison for fear Of
violence at the hands Of persons from
Ottumwa. Since the present term of
court began a mass meeting was called
by the mayor and the sheriff at which
it was decided to ask the governor
for state militia to guard him If he
was tried here, the more general opin-
ion being that he could not otherwise
be protected from violence. 1t is sig
nificant that these and other circum-
stances are testified to by witnesses
who would only speak when compell-
ed to do so and when symDathies are
entirely with the prosecution.
the state has made no counter SHOW
things being matters of general no
toriety no counter showing could he
made either as to the facts themselves
or the conclusion to be drawn from
them. 1t is perfectly plain that with
the state of feeling shown to exist
here the defendant could not receive
a fair and impartial trial. 1t Is to be
borne in mind that fair trial means
more than the securing of jury
composed of men unprejudiced at the
time of their selection 1t means n
trial unaffected by the excitement and
prejudice prevailing in the commun-
ity. 1t has been said in this connec-
tion by the supreme court: There is
to be guarded against feeling and
prejudice not only within but without
the jury box and jury however right
their intentions are not always proof
against the asmpathies of the crowd y
A trial where only the presence OF
armed militia force can save the &C
cused from lyncning and secure the
jury in the exercise of its proper func-
ton can not be such fair and i'm
partial trial as the law contemplates
The statute requires that the court
shall determine the application ac-
cording to the very right Of the mat
ter. 1t would be difficult to imagine a
state of affairs that would more fully
justify a change of venue than that
disclosed In this case and the duty Of
the court is plain. The case should
go to some county where it may be
tr;n url,i io1, Sc e.
moved as possible from the influence
of the local feeling and prejudice and
where there is the least likelihood Of
repetition Of those attempts at mob
violence which have made this change
necessary. Appanoose county best
fills these requirements at this time
and to that county the place of trial
will accordingly be changed

MOTHER DISTRACTED
Sc Afraid Young Woman Has Gone to

Neighborhood Wednesday
Night.

Leaving home about 10:30 o'clock
yesterday morning while her mother
was away, Miss Marian c. Hutton,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. VIII Hut
ton who reside in one of the Milwau-
kee section houses north of the city
where the Marion cutoff crosses the
state road, has disappeared from the
vicinity, leaving a trail of apprehen-
sion and mystery in her wake. A close
inventory of the wearing apparel in
the household has revealed the infor-
nation that the young woman took
but few garments of her own, while a
full suit. including cap and shoes, of
her fathers clothes are missing.
Miss Hutton is an adopted child of
Mr.. and Mrs. Hutton. the former being
section foreman of the Marion cutoff.
been the recipient of the same love
and devotion that would be showered
upon an own child from her foster
parents, since her infancy. The best
of relations have always existed be-
tween Miss Hutton and her parents
and both Mr. and Mrs. Hutton and the
numerous friends of the girl are at a
loss to account for her motive.
Was Alone at Home.
About $50 o'clock yesterday morn
ing Mrs. Hutton went to Rutledge, a
mile or so down the track, to do some
purchasing, leaving the girl at home.
When Mrs. Hutton returned home
about 10:45 o'clock, the girl was mis-.
sing. During her mothers absence
the girl had changed her clothes and
from an examination made of her
wardrobe it is though she wore off
red dressing sacque, an old tan skirt,
black shoes, and mans coat. The
only headgear missing from the home
is cape of Mr.. Hutton's. The un-
explained disappearance at the same
time of pair of trousers and mans
shoes leads the distracted parents to
believe that Miss Hutton's idea was to
garb herself in mans clothing when
we'll away from home.
The missing girl is five feet four
inches tall, weighs 110 pounds, has
dark eyes, a full face. dark complexion
and wears her hair rolled, ornament
ed with fancy back and side combs.
Other Girl Missing
Friends of the girl state that it is
barely possible she has set out in
pursuit of Miss Grace Cogswell a
woman who has been living in a house
near the Hutton home and who left
late Wednesday night on the Milwau-
kee passenger for Cedar Rapids.
Miss Hutton's character is of the
best. Her parents have guarded her
zealously all her life and have given
her every advantage and for that rea-
son 1t is the more difficult to account
for her disappearance. The Milkau-
kee track extending eastward from the
Hutton home Is plainly visible for a
long ways and neighbors who were
working in the vicinity say that no
pedestrian went up the tracks East
ward the tracks lead to Rutledgel and
to more houses, SO 1t is supposed that

Over Credit Of

Patrolman Bruises Captains Head
with Club in Debating the
Proposition.

One South Omaha policeman is laid up
with q bruised head and another is laid off
with no Job because they couldn't agree on
who arrested Woods, the supposed leader
Of the Overland Limited train robbers.
Monday night late, Captain Nels Turn
quist and Patrolman ID. w. Mawhinney of
the South omaha force fell to discussing
the credit for arresting Woods, the sup
posed leader OF the alleged bandits.
Il made the arrest" said Mawhinney.
II made the arrest said T%urnquist.
whereupon the argument wsxed hot.
Finally Mawhinney made a gesture with
his club hand n then he made another
and another and each time he gestured
his club fell with emphasis on T%urnquist's
head. Turnquist never did become thor
oughly convinced. but he sustained two or
three scalp wound
Mawhinney was laid off for ten days. but
Chief Brigg says-while the Board of Fire
and Police Commissioners has final abitra-
ment in his case-that he will never con-
sent to MawhInney's returning to the force.
1T is the first time in my experience
tina a policeman has attacked a superior
officer" said the chief. I'VE can't and
won't put up with that"
Mawhinney has been on the force a year

On the 26th day Of April, 1906, The Mid

Nebraska was authorized by the Insurance
Department Of this state to DO a general
life insurance business on the level prem
ium, legal reserve plan. The stockholders
are Nebraska people, associated together
TO insure Nebraska people. and thereby to
keep within Nebraska the premiums paid
for their insurance. The business methods
of the Midwest Life are clean. II sells and
always has sold life insurance as life in
surance.
The recent rulings of the Nebraska In
surance department, through the auditor
OF public accounts, the Hon. S. r. Barton.
did not affect The Midland Life in the
slightest degree. II had never used "esti-
mates, sold special or board con.
tracts; placed misleading statements"
on the face Of its policies. or elsewhere, as
to how or in what n It's policies were
secured; or. sold stocks. bonds OF secur-
tiles Of any insurance or agency company
as an inducement to take life insurance
with It. The rulings against such practices
are in harmony with the position publicly
taken by The Midwest Life ever since its
organization.

''Invite the Amateur and Give Every
Roy a Chance to VIM" Says
Psychologist I'm Address.

In an address before the physical di-
rectors OF the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation, Prof c. w. Hetherington, holding
the chair of psychology in the University
of Missouri, advised the elimination OF pro-
fesslonal athletes from contests within the
Y. M. c. A. because they hamper he am
billions OF the amateur. The professors
subject was "Amateurism" and the address
was delivered in the auditorium of the
Y. M. C. A. building last evening.
"Amateurism is playing with motives, I"
said Prof. Hetherington, Distinct from
It is professionalism. The amateur goes
into a contest for the fun of the thing, the
professional for the monetary gain to be
derived from his efforts. The object of the
professional is mot primarily play, but it
is to get money from the spectators who
see his feats.
IAN conceptions of amateurism are based
on the instincts derived from play. The
law of amateurism is an administrative
rule made in an attempt to separate con-
tests for play from contests for money.
The whole question is: Is this law essen
tial?
THE principal factor which leads the
boy into athletics centers in the law of
competition. Most, If not all, the pleas
ures Of the contest are in the chances to
win. II there is no chance to win, there
is no competition. This being so, we should
then eliminate the professional, invite the
amateur, and give every boy a fair chance
to win"
