PLOT AT ELooRA SCHOOL,
Three Young Men Arrested For Aiding
Inmate to Escape.

Des Nioines, April 12.-City de-
tectives have frustrated what may have
been an attempt to instigate art out
break at the boys reform school ut Ell
dora similar to the recent outbreak at
the girls reformatory at Mitchelville.
by the arrest of three Young men
charged with assisting an inmate To es-
cape. They are accused of taking SUIT
of clothes. securing entrance to the
room of Bob" Maher and plotting him
safely away from the state institution
and to Des Moines.
The delivery occurred two or three
nights ago. All four Of the boys We're
captured by detectives last night and
are held pending an investigation. The
names of the three young men. all OF
whom are former inmates OF the insti-
tuition, are: II. r.. Robinson, h. III.
Hayes. and Raymond Wilkins.
The case is unusual and is the result
Of an alleged compact among the boys
several months ago to assist each other
III the event of an opportunity to escape
from the reformatory. The plot is al
legged to have occurred last year when
one night after lights out" the boys
crept together and in' whispers solemn
ly swore to each other that they would
stand or fall together. No opportunity
seemed to present itself until the eldest
were released upon their arrival at the
age of II years. They came away leav-
ing Maher a sorrowful lone member of
their secret clan.
Upon arrival in Des Moines the three
boys secured positions in the city and
worked diligently. pooling their savings
until they had joint fund sufficient to
purchase a fourth suit of clothes and
expense money sufficient to make the
attempt at rescue of their pal.
A few nights ago the three boys are
alleged to have taken southern train
for Eldora, laden with their presents
for Maher. BY some unknown means.
they are said to have entered the big
building without the knowledge of the
guards and actually penetrated to the
ward occupied by Maher. The boys
refuse to talk. but it is reported they
had to don nightgowns over their
clothing and pretend to be inmates of
the schools. They succeeded remark
ably well and left Eldora joyous over
the comradslrip of their friend Maher.
They We're working in restaurants in
East DeS Moines when the detectives
found them. Other boys at Eldora are
believed to be candidates for later es-
cape.

Supreme Court Rules in Favor o
County in Drainage Suit.

Webster City, April 1.-THE supreme
court of Iowa handed down decision
in the case of Katherine Schropfer VS..
the Board of Supervisors of Hamilton
County, sustaining the judgment of the
lower court and dismissing the appeal
Katherine Schropfer appealed from
the decision of the board in the special
assessment in the Stark drainage dis
itrict against her land to pay for the
construction of certain tile drains. APP
pellant contended that the tile lines as
laid did not furnish her sufficient
outlet and therefore her assessment Of
$4,000 on the quarter section was un-
reasonable and unjust. The appellees
contended that appellant, with full
knowledge of all the facts as to out
let and other conditions. made no OBJ
|jections to the establishment of the
district and allowed the same to be
CONSTRUCTED without protest. and that
she was therefore estopped from deny

Des Moinesy April 12.-Attorneys who
have read the plea made by the coun-
sci for John Junllin, the murderer OF
Clara Rosen, at Ottumwa. on which
they hope to save, him from hanging
that he may become a lifer at the
prison, say that the bare statement ol
the counsel is nearly enough to induce
a hanging. The plea is not that Jun
kin did not murder the girl, for that
was confessed, but that he is practical l.
ly irresponsible and that life inn
prisonment is all he should get. Inc
argument states:
..Junkin is a congenital degenerate OF
the lowest order, scarcely on the human
side of the line of demarcation between
the human and the brute, wholly with
out any moral principles, and devoid
from his mothers womb of any capac-
ity in which moral perception could be
instified or could be grown, and his
congenital degeneracy has been aggra-
waited and Intensified by his ENVIRON
ments; and at large he would be as
dangerous to society as would be a
roaming wild, beast of prey or course
our contention was that society would
be secure against him if he should be
imprisoned for life and that that should

subject of school consolidation. Tho
he spoke at p. m. on Saturday, and on

audience The consolidation proposed
will be voted on Thursday. 1t is under
what is known as the Garst plan, due
to the fact that the bill for this con-

Garst, and it. provides for consoliGa-
