WARE CASE TO
SUPREME COURT
JUDGE M'cLAlN ISSUES WRIT OF
HAREAs CORPUS IN ORDER TO
TEST ToWNER RULING.

Des Moines, Nov. Judge McClatn
of the Iowa supreme court Saturday
evening granted writ Of habeas cor
pus in the case of Leroy Ware, the
former Corydon banker, who has been
returned to the Fort Madison peniten-
tiary on order of Judge H. M. Towner.
The writ is returnable November 16,
when the hearing in the case will be
had before the supreme court In Dies
Mones. In the meantime Ware re-
mains a prisoner at Fort Madison,
where Warden Sanders accepted him
after comforting by telephone with
Judge Robinson Of the board of con-
troll.
When Ware arrived at Fort Madison
in charge of an officer at 1 o'clock
Saturday morning there was a ques-
ton as to whether he would be again
Imprisoned in accordance with Judge
Towner's decree that he was paroled
without authority. The question was
not tried out until later in the morn
ing, as Ware and his guard stayed at
a hotel over night. Saturday Sanders
asked the board Of control for orders
and found Judge Robinson at the tu-
berculosis sanitarlum at Oakdals.
judge RODluSOH uHSStCo houhuSio "
obey the order of Judge Towner and
accordingly Ware was taken back into
the prison, although the board of p l.
role and the governor have not order
ed such action.
Attorney Livingstone, representing
Ware, was at the state house bright
and early Saturday, trying to find
some member of the supreme court
with whom he could file his applica-
ton for writ of habeas corpus. Not
a single supreme Judge was in Dos
Moines, and Mr.. Livingstone proceed
ed to Iowa City. where he found
Judge McClain and secured the neces'
sary order.
The case was brought before Judge
Towner at Corydon last week and he
ruled that the state board of parole
has no jurisdiction in cases originating
prior to the date OF its creation. Ware
was sent to prison in 1906, fully a
year before the establishment of the
board.

TIbetsn Skull Drums.

A drum OF an extreme responsiveness
OF nature is one used by the lamas OF
Tibet at some OF their church cere.
monies. For this the craniums Of tive
skulls, preferably cbildren's, are taken
and over the concave side Of each Is
stretched the skin of snake. The two
skulls are then cemented at the yer.
tice to either side Of a wooden disk GOV.
cred with a cotton cloth, the stretched
skins being outermost. These drums
are often ornamented by having the
heads of devils and such like horrors
the more repulsive the better, painted
upon them in red and blue colors. The
method employed In playing them IS
rather curious. To the wooden dis,
between the two halves cord IS faa.
tened by which the drum can be sus,
pended and then rapidly rotated. Two
short cords with knobs at their ends
hang down in such way that as the
drum revolves they strike alternate
on either face and thus produce rag.
