IOWA MAN SHOOTS PARENTS OF
DIVORCED WIFE AND FORCES
HER TO FLEE WITH HIM.
POSSE FOLLOWS IN STORM
After Being Surrounded in Barn,
Murderer Mawes His Escape
Life of Woman and Child
Is Threatened

Des Moines, Ia-Calvin iLttlepage,
a farmer living near Valley Junction,
a suburb Of Des Moines, shot and
killed Elmer Jameson and Mrs jamie
son, both parents of his divorced wife,
and then forced her and her infant
babe to enter a buggy which was wait
ing and flee with him.
The murderer then drove toward
Adel in a binding rain and hail
storm, but was pursued by posse
from Des Moines. Farmers along the
highway with shotguns joined in the
chase, attracted by the pitiful screams
of the orphaned woman, who cried
out that she. too. would be slain b.
her former husband.
The tragedy is the result of the re-
fusal of Mrs. Littlepage to live with
her former husband. she having been
divorced from him last May. Threats
of murder on the part of Littlepage
were often made, according to the
vile STORY prior 10 the tldStuY.
Chases Farmer From Home.
Shortly before midnight the posse
was close behind Littlepage, who had
doubled on his tracks and suddenly
turned his buggy up an uEfrequented
lane. At the home of Arse Butler,
a half mile from Valley Junction, he
stopped and ordered Butler to throw
ND his hands and leave the premises.
Then Littlepage entered the house,
commanding his wife to precede him.
The posse was now close upon him.
In a few minutes the murderer came
out of the rear door. urging his wile
to follow. but she screamed and ran
out of the front door and into the
hands of Marshal w. A. Houke, of
Valley junction. and the advance of
the posse
Littlepage took refuge in hay
barn and was surrounded there. He
is heavily armed carrying Win
chester and a revolver
At 1870 a. m Wednesday Littlepage
succeeded in breaking through the
Gordon of officers surrounding him in
a barn on the Butler farm. The
fading light of the moon made it diff
fcult to cover all avenues of escape.

the house insurgents. of the type that
called upon President Taft recently.
He must bring them into line but he
also must use the utmost of his power
and influence to protect them in their
districts at election time if they accept
his lead. The present issue presages
either a serious break of the President
with large element in Congress or
community of interests which he will
be obliged to bear in mind for the
four years of his administration. Ac-
cording to all Republican history, the
President will win and the united par
ty, in Washington at least, will be
stronger than ever The tactless sug-
gestion made to the President that the
bill might lose the votes of protection
Democrats in the house if he persist
ed in his course irritated him more
than anything else that was said.
AS far as it goes, the Presidents
plan is admirable from the point of
view of the downward revisionists. It
does not reach the ultimate consumer
at all, except through a possible as
sistance to wages in the manufactur-
ing industries, and it ignores the cry.
ing question of cheaper food. Wash
ington already is speculating whether
with the Presidents revision ac-
complshed, the country will be suffi-
ciently satisfied with it to support
the Republican party in the next con-
gressional elections. The only reli-
ance of the leaders is upon business
prosperity, upon which they count with
confidence. Some of the duties on
foodstuffs are known in Capitol par
lance as bluff duties-imposing on
paper-like those on cereals. but not
operative and intended chiefly to help
out statesmen with farmer constitu-
encies and scoop in their votes for

as he can influence it. 1t is not unfair

Immediately upon learning the status

ator Aldrich is quoted as having
doubts of the ability of the President
to overcome a majority of the senate
on the raw material issue. 1t is not
understood that the Rhode Island SEN

but it is regarded as possibly signih-

first been convinced that the reduc-
tion could not possibly lower prices.
The question is thus raised whether
the country, when voting time comes,
will like Aldrich the less or Taft the
more.
Congressman from the great cities
are moving quietly in the house to or
ganize an insurgency to vote against
the tariff bill if it contains the cor
poration tax. New York, Philadelphia,
Chicago, Pittsburg and other financial
centres are interested in this PROPOSE
ton, which is being put forward Sc
cretely. It's ultimate fate cannot be
predicted. 1t might win if some parlia-
mentary law could be found to get
square vote on the bill The fact that
Speaker Cannon is an original and
strong corporation tax man, while
Chairman Payne is pledged to the tax,
initiates against the success of this
movement, but the ants will not aban-
don their hunt until they are convinced
that they cannot win. Several days
ago, when the whole tariff situation
was more chaotic than it is now many
of the most influential leaders of the
house went out of their way to seek
out Chairman Payne and tell him that
no tariff bill could pass the house
which he did not approve. Mr.. Payne
has made good use of this backing in
the conference committee and in fact,
men representing his mode of thought
were giving out the assurance that the
bill would be "a good bill" In this, as
in some other ceses, of course, much
depends on the point of view. That
the bill will be a better one than the
house conferees feared it would be
when they began with the sessions
probably is true
Senator Aldrich is reported as about
to yield to the pressure put upon him
to take out of the tariff bill the duty
Of 35 per cent ad valorem on foreign
built yachts. These necessaries of
some lives were not duitable under the
Dingley act nor were they mentioned
in the house bill but Senator Aldrich

A COLLECTORS ODD HOBBY.

Enthusiastic collectors of antiques,
coins, paintings, stamps and other
valuable articles can get no more en-
joyment out of their hobbies than
Eugene M. Vasey, real estate oper-
ator who lives in Wyncote, manages
to find in the simple fad of collect
ing clover with more than three leaves
Ever since he was a boy he has been
collecting them, and now he has over
1000 perfect specimens of four, five
and sixIeafed clovers. Mr. Vasey
began to collect them when he was
fourteen years old. While rambling
through the woods he found a six
leaf clover. He had heard of four
leaf specimens, but, the six leaves
surprised him, and he investigated
further with the result that he became
a confirmed clover-hunter. The old
superstition of the good luck that
comes to the finder of four-leaf clov-
er has held out in Mr.. Vasey's case.
He says he has frequently made
money in real estate simply because
he found four-leaf clover on the
grounds. Mr.. Vasey is anxious TO
hear from other collectors of clover,
as he believes his collection is the
largest in the world.-Philadelph
