THE PROBLEMS
OF KNIGHTHoOD
What Attorney e. w. McManus HAD
to Say to Quincy Knights of
Columbus.

Attorney E. w. McManus had for a
subject Problems of Knighthood," In
his address at the Knights of Column
bus banquet in Quincy on Landing
Day. The Wing reports his after din
ner speech as follows:
Another interesting speaker of the
evening was E. w. McManus, of Keo-
kuk, Ia, assistant county attorney of
Lee county. and a young man gifted
with the power to address the public
upon all occasions demanding ora
ton Problems of Knighthood" was
the thesis of his address and he laiu
before his attentive listeners many
problems that confront the organiza
ton known as Knights of Columbus
He said that not since the birth of
Christ had the world witnessed such
an important event as was the discoy-
cry of this country. He said that
Christopher Columbus gave to the
world much more than no was ever
credited for, but that even in his
glory when land was sighted. his
vanity was not SO great nor his pride
SO high that he forgot to kneel a
moment in prayer and thank God for
! his reward.
| Concerning problems confronting
knighthood, Mr.. McManus stated that
foremost of all was divorce, another
was morality and third was educa-
ton Of the moral side of life. He
said that If these were not mastered,
then religion would be classed a
mookery and failure AS a closing
remark Mr. McManus stated that he
wanted to see the 18th of October
every year made a national legal holi-
day.

MATH|ESEN WENT
TO SEE SICK WIFE
After He Had Boon Sentenced to tn.
Psnitentiary, MathIeson Tells
Of HIS Escape From
Hospital.
OUT THE FRONT DOOR
Remained With Friends In KeokuA
During the Night and Morning
and Took Afternoon Train
North.

Charles NJ. Mathiesen, one Of the
most elusive criminals the KeokuR
police have had to deal with in sever
81 years, was sentenced to from one
70 ten years in the state penitentiary
at Fort Madison by Judge w. S. Ham
ilton in the district court Saturday
morning for the crime OF
forgery, Mathiesen, stole tina,
he is, received the sentence as
though he had been expecting it dur
Ing his several months of languishing
In the county JAIL
The sentence was pronounced by
Judge Hamilton shortly after court
had convened at O'Clock. Tuesday
Mathiesen entered plea of guilty to
one of three indictments returned
against him by the last two grand
juries
Details of Mathiesen's escape from
st. Joseph's hospital several months
ago have puzzled local police and not
until after Mathiesen saw the peniten-
larry doors standing open to receive
him would he drop a single word
about the events of that ni.At. 1t is
the general opinion of officers that
Mathiesen drove out of Keokuk, but
he says not.
My escape was actuated by a de-
sire TO see my sick wife," said Math-
lessen to Gate City reporter Saturday
morning. II had received a letter
from her telling me of her Illness and
the opportunity certainly looked good
when l saw my guard go to room
across the hall, partially undress and
retire for the night.
My mind was made UP in an in
slant. With calm deliberation-if
do say it myself got up from bed
and slowly dressed. With sick wife
calling me I would hardly call it an
escape merely a departure. did
not 60 out through the window as
has been reported, nor did travel by
horse and buggy. On the contrary l
walked boldly out of the hospital go
Ing through the front door.
During the remainder of the night
and the next morning I remained in
Keokuk. / ha6. friends, that is true
and they took care of me- boarded
the afternoon train, going north at
f:3O o'elock-here Mathiesen was halt
ed by the reporter.
But what about the sheriff's of
ficers who had their eagle eye train
ed on the depot surroundings? was
asked by the reporter.
Now that is one of my pretty little
secrets" answered Mathiesen.
Il expect my confinement in the
penitentiary will seriously affect my
physical condition" continued Math-
iesen, changing the subject from his
escape. You see, since my operation
for appendicitis ! have been troubled
more or less. There seems to be a
contraction In my side which gives
me pain almost continuously

TWO COUNTIES
DECLARED WET
Supreme Court Decides That Genesee
and Calhoun Counties Voted for
License Forces.

LANSING, Mich. May SIN the
Genesee county case the supreme
court ruled today that the board OF
supervisors must accept the state
ments of the election inspectors and
cannot recount the ballots. II Is held
that the statue confers no authority
on the board to make such an investi-
CATION. The vote In Genesee was a
majority Of 81 for the vets and the
court directs the board to reconvene
and declare the result In accordance
with these figures.
In the Calhoun county case the
court upholds the decision >of the cir
cult court that blank and rejected
votes were not to be considered In de-
termining the whole number OF votes
cast. The vote there was rs In favor
OF the vets and this majority is held
sufficient.
On the question as to whether suffi-
cient time had elapsed since the pre-
yious election, the court says that the
two years referred to In the statute
are political years and not calendar
years. Judge Hooker dissents from
the decision In both cases.

LORIMER'S FRIENDS PLOT
TO FOIL GOV. DENEEN
Want Senator to Name His Own
Successor, Should He BE
Ousted.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, May 8.-A
strategic move, primarily designed to
permit United States Senator Will
liam Lorimer 10 name his own sue
cessor in the event he Is ousted from
the senate under the pending LaFol
lette resolution, was launched here to-
day by opponents of Gov. Charles 8.
Deneen, who as an anti-Lorimerite,
would certainly appoint an anti-Lori-
mer man il permitted to name Lori
mer's successor.
The Republican members OF the
Legislature, in recent caucus, decid-
ed to adjourn the legislature on May
10. Plans are now on foot, however,
to recess at this date until fall. so
III Lorimer is ousted the legislature
may re-assemble and elect a new SEN
ator, taking the appointive power
from Deneen.
Members of the legislature admit
that the opinion Of Judge Petit In
Chicago, refusing TO send Edward TIL
den here to answer to a charge OF con-
tempt, will be a powerful weapon for
the anti-Lorimerites in the United
States senate. They say public opin-
ion will now force the senate to re.
new the investigation, thus stified
In Illinois, to the charges that a
"Slush fund of 100000 was deliver
ed into Tilden's hands ITO put Lori
mer over"
