s.Fresh from the progressive state
of kansas, President Taft swept into
Iowa early today and will remain in
the state OF the famous Iowa idea I'M
ill tomorrow night" This is the way
one Of the press dispatches today puts
It. The morning papers carried
dispatch which said that the
presidents reception in Kansas
asurprised some of hts most in
innate friends and supporters and
that "the developments in Iowa during
the next two days are awaited with
the keenest interest" The inference
drawn from these dispatches is that
some of the Washington correspond
euts accompanying the presidential
train misled by the pyrotechnic utter
ances of few Kansans and Iowans
in washington, expected some ex-
tremely unfriendly demonstration on
the occasion of Taft's visits to these
states. Their trip through Iowa and
Kansas with the executives party
should broaden the education Of these
correspondents and give them a
clearer understanding Of the intelli-
rent sentiment Of this middle western
section.
The president talked to as big
crowds in Kansas as he ever met in
his eastern speeches. At Topeka
there were 10000 or $4,000 standing

THls HAPPENED in 1911.

The discovery has just been made
in Chicago that prisoner sent TO jail
sor contempt Of court in divorce pro-
,eedings has been allowed to serve
.wo months and four days over his
sent ence. The man, an Austrian with
little knowledge of American legal
practices, was literally lost in jail. and
might have remained there 'indef1n-
ately, if some Of his friends had not
taken up a search and found him still
behind the bars. The man had been
ordered by Judge Chetlain to pay 81
700 cash alimony and 81 weekly Tor
he support of his wife. He said ne
lid not have the money. Judge Chef
lain ordered him to produce his bank
hook. He said he did not have bank
book. Then he was sentenced to jail
for three months for contempt OF
court. When this sentence was ended
he was brought back into court, again
asked for the bank book and SEN
fenced to six months in Jail for his re-
afusal to produce It, This operation
was repeated, until in four sentences
the prisoner had been given two years
in Jail. Then Judge Chetlain failed OF
reelection and the prisoner, forgotten,
was permitted to remain in Jail until
his. friends secured his release. In the
meantime his wife had gone, no one
knew where, and probably had re-
married.
1t is easy to feel contempt for a
court and for officials who had part in
such miscarriage of justice.

! DECORATE FOR TAFT DAY:

Ottumwa should make every eAoi'
to look its best when President Ia.
visits the city Friday afternoon anu
evening. To this end the people lVlns
along the streets through which the
president and his party Will pass Oh
their trip over the city should decor
ate their homes. Members OF the COM
mittee in charge Of the arrangements
for Taft day have been hard at work
for weeks planning decorations Tor the
down town district. They must rely
on the cooperation of the people LOT
the decoration OF the residence dis
3tricts. The streets over which the
nresident will pass are given In an
other column in this issue. People
living along these streets should hang
out flags and bunting. No better
compliment could be paid to the
president than to line the streets
through which he will pass In his auto
mobile trip about the city with the
American colors.
Another way in which the people
can cooperate in the Taft day ar
rangements is by seeing that all debris
is, removed from the streets ana
parkings along the line of march. II
any loads Of coal or building material
have been unloaded along the curD
thew should be removed before FRIDAY
afternoon. The streets should pc
spick and span on this occasion.
In addition to the president and
his distinguished party there Will be
thousands of visitors in OttumWa on
the day Of the presidents visit. Ut
tumwa should appear at her best on
this occasion.

bewildered by sense of having seen

GOOD SCORES MADE
BY LOCAL BOWLERS
IN FIRST QUARTER
All Records Threatened and
in Many Cases CON-
pletely Smashed.

With the first quarter Of the bowling
season Just about over. local duckpin
and tenpin artists are hitting the pace
.. at rapid clip, and new records have
been established. and old ones threat
ened in many Of the leagues. The team
and individual averages compare favor
ably with those of past seasons, and
records for high set and high game
have been completely smashed.
Probably some of the best bowling
done In the city this year was witnessed
IN the match last night between the
3. and M. Shops and Miscellaneous

rolled three of the seven highest duck
pin scores made on any alley during the
string: Michigan. 1856 in his third string,
and Setback rolled 131 in his third strins.
This Is record in the District for any
one team In a single match, and will
aim their efforts toward.
Braeger, of the ,Atlantics. In the
Northeastern Duckpin League. rolled
the second highest string in his match
against the Lincoln Laundry. Draeger's
score was 1879, and entities him to sec

but many good individuals strings were
made by members Of both teams.
Among the best is a record of 21l by

Duckpin scores in the Spalding Coun-

game. The Namoys and Sheehys rolled
against each other last night, and the
majority Of the scores were near the
500 mark.
A meeting Of teams in the Arcade
Duckpin League Is called for tonight at
the Arcade alleys. Decision will be
made as to the prizes that will be given
for high games, sets, individual and

Good scores continue to be made in

CONROY LIKELY TO
GO TO SOUTHERN !.
LEAGUE NEXT YEAR.
Improbable That He Will
Go With Baltimore
Club.
DUNN WAS ANXIOUS
FOR UTILITY MAN
Washington Club To Have or
fces In Southern
Building.

That vivid" Conroy. the washington
utility player, will go to Baltimore, in
the Eastern League, Is rather improb-
able.
Early in September it was announced
from Philadelphia that Conroy was not
likely to long remain a member of the
Nationals. This was before Griffith was
announced as manager, but since the
coming of the new leader the exit of
Conroy appears to have been absolute
ly assured.
Last year Jack Dunn, the Baltimore
manager, was most anxious to get Con-
roy, but since then 1t appears that he
has cooled on to such an extent that he
does not believe this player would ma
teriaily help his team.
The indications now are that Conroy
will go to some team In the Southern
League. although the authorities hero
refuse to say what negotiations are on
In regard to the man.
A deal was closed yesterday afternoon
whereby the Washington bali club leased

the organisation. For years the fact
3, out a home during the off season has
: worked as the greatest sort Of handi-
cap. and visiting magnates and news
papermen have put up a universal howl
about the situation.
As soon as Griffith came here he
seemed to understand the situation at
once, with the result that he opened
negotiations for rooms. After he looked
over the whole field he decided that
the Southern building was the best, so
from now on the Washington club will
have headquarters, and II the manager
happens not to be in at that time there

Ad Wolgast is recovering.

An echo of the recent Yale-Princeton
contest at New Haven is seen in Walter
Camps calling for either modification
or enforcement of the rules making
the ball dead when any part of the rum
ner. except his feet. touches the ground.
1t will be recalled that Sam White
was tackled by~Howe on the 5-yard line,
both men sliding across the goal line In
the mud from sheer momentum. It was
claimed by many that the ball should
have been declared down on Yale's
5-yard line. and the touchdown not
allowed. Rules In any sport amount to
little when not enforced, but this par
ticular rule seemed to save Yale from
defeat.
