Degenerate Father Convicted Of Re-
voting Crime at independence.
Waterloo, Oct. S.-Judge F. C. Plat.
has returned from independence, where
he concluded the hearing in the case
of the state of Iowa against F. Hefty,
farmer living four miles southeast
of town, who was charged with rape
and incest. The witnesses brought
into court by the plaintiff We're the two
beautiful young daughters of the man,
aged IA and 16 years. The elder of the
two is the mother of a baby which is
now being cared for in one of the state
institutions. The wife and mother of
the family has been dead six years.
The verdict which the jury handed
in was guilty, and Judge Platt will i'm
pose sentence on the man. Altho the
penalty for such a revolving crime as
the father has been proven guilty of
may be any term of years, the judge
has not yet decided, but it is not un-
likely Hefty will be given life sen
tense at Anamosa.

WILL CONGRESS AID,
is IMPORTANT QUESTION
Action Of State Legislatures Shows
Remarkable Unanimity Of Desire to
Amend Federal constitution-List Of
States Favorable to chanse-TeIe-
graphic News.

Washington, Oct. T. - Thirty one
states Of the union-two-thirds Of the
sisterhood-have spoken thru their leg
islatures in favor of an amendment
ITO the federal constitution providing for
the election of senators by direct vote.
Thirty-one states compose the num-
Der requisite under article OF the
constitution for the calling of q con-
vention by congress to propose amend
ments to the great American charter
Thirty-one states-the constitutional
o-thirds-have carried out the spirit
Of the prescribed call for amendment,
whether or no they have as a whole ad-
hered to the strict letter of the pro-
vision for securing a change in the Or
ganic law.
Will congress at Its coming session
heed the call? The query Is pertinent
to a presentat ton of facts, which hith-
erto seemed to have been overlooked in
their fullness even by those who are
deeply concerned with the direct elec-
tion propaganda.
Technically, only twenty-six states
have applied to congress for the call
ing Of constitutional convention, but
five others, according to the official
records obtained here, have expressed
the underlying desire which is con-
tained in the formal demand of the
others by adopting resolutions urging
the submission of an amendment of the
dtrapf. e1ocfi0p. Of Sanators uuaStion
There is no mistaking the fact, there
fore, that the proportion Of states in
the union which the fathers decreed
should make is incumbent on the con-
gress to act, have filed their petition.
In other words two thirds of the states
in the union want United States sena-
tors elected by direct vote Of the peo-
pie and the question Is: Can congress
be made to feel the moral obligation of
presenting the opportunity for three
fourtf1s Of the states to say whether an
amendment to the constitution favored
by an overwhelming popular sentiment
shall be ratified?
Alamaba by, adopting a resolution
which was approved Aug. Of the
present year, has completed the list of
thirty-one states, which, from the rec
ords to be found here, have demanded
an amendment for the popular election
of senators. Here are the twenty six
states which have formally applied to
congress for the calling of a constitu-
,tional convention:
Arkansas, Minnesota, Utah, Kansas
Texas, Illinois, Indiana, South Dakota,
Idaho Washington, North Carolina
Tennessee, Montana, Nevada, Wisconsin,
Missouri, Iowa. Michigan. Oregon
Louisiana, Colorado, Kentucky, Penn
eylvania, Nebraska, Oklahoma, New
Jersey.
