F|TzG|BBONS NOT
TO Be PROSECUTED
Meets Alleged Defalcation
and Complainant Will
Not Press Charge.

Strengthening up his alleged short
age of S75 by rendering that amount
in cash to Mary Custer Heck of Cen
terville, the complainant, a few hours
after his arrest and release on bond,
makes it improbable that the charge
of embezzlement pending in the cir
cult court against John S. Fitzsibbons
well known real estate dealer and
insurance agent. and a former news
paper man, will ever be prosecuted.
Difficulties have arisen which tend
to bind the arms of the prosecution.
The prosecuting witness has been sat
isfied by the payment of the alleged
defalcation. Prosecuting attorney
Charles Ladd stated Mrs. Heck had
signed a receipt for the money. in
which she promised to not press the
charge nor appear if the case was
called. Even though the state would
desire TO prosecute him on the charge.
despite Mrs. Heck's promise. it will
be unable to do so before April unless
the accused consents. His bond states
that. he shall appear in the April term
of court.
Fitzgibbons, il is alleged, entered in
to a contract with the Centerville wo-
man TO sell her property in Earlham
Heights. He made deal for the pro-
perty, disposing of it to Charles T.
Henderson. The sale price was $500.
part of which was TO be paid on the
installment plan. The purchaser paid
down S1o0 and it is charged in the affi-
davit Fitzgibbons withheld SIS from
Mrs. Heck, although she made demand
for the money. According to the con-
tract Fitzgibbons was TO receive per
cent commission and on a s60o-trans-
action. this would have been S12, but
States Attorney Ladd says, he charg-
ed $50 commission for the sale. The
accused was arrested on Thursday, be-
ing released almost Immediately when
his father-in-law. Harmon Shofer fur
nished $500 bond. Prosecuting Attor-
ney Ladd said the accused visited the
woman soon afterwards and paid her
the amount of the alleged emoezzle-
ment. .-

Washington, Jan. 6.--President Taft
is opposed to anything that will force
an extra session of the 62nd congress.

SHALL GROWERS STORE OR
SELL POTATOES THIS FALL

The government estimates in
dictate crop of 24O,000,0OO bush
els of potatoes for the United
States, or a shortage of over
ne-fourth in the potato crop for
1911, under average needs for
food and seed.The Colorado crop
makes very little difference in
the markets of the country.
If prices go above 81 per cwt.
to growers during October, CON
sumption is sure to be curtailed.
In July | said to an influential
domestic science teacher: You
folks will be saying, potatoes are
too high; eat rice and dumplings.
"Oh!" said she, Il have said
that already in my lectures over
Iowa. There is a good rice crop,
and flour is cheap. People can t
afford to eat many potatoes. So
This sort of thing is bound to
count if potatoes go extremely
high. The experience of years Is
that it is wise to sell anything
out of the field at rs cents or
above, in the year OF average crop
and in the year of shortage, to
sell at 81 90 or above. Conversely,
in the year of shortage, the con
sumer, il he has good storage I'M
der 40 degrees farenheit, should
buy in the fall, if he can buy on
basis of under $1.O0 to the
grower. If he cannot buy on
this basis, he may as well buy as
he needs.
We have made arrangements
for letters from correspondents
from all parts of the country and
for Il letter in regard to foreign
potato crops, which may be avail
able for import in spite Of the
duty of % cents a bushei.
We shall be glad to answer
any inquiries as to the potato
market and the crop conditions
during October.
