Violin Made from Wood
Of Lincoln Flag Pole
Mayor Crank of Madrid Fashions In
strument from Piece of His
torio Timber,

BOONE, Ia. April s.-(special) "A violin
has just been completed by Mayor Crank
of Madrid which is of more than ordinary
interest The wood contained in the in
strument was taken from the stump end
Of the Lincoln flagpole," which was dug
up from the ground by the mayor several
months ago A portion OF the stump was
made into small blocks and handed to a
number of thu people of the community
who were interested in relics to be retained
as souvenirs, but portion of the wood re-
NAMED and Mr.. Crank conceived the idea
of fashioning 1t into a violin. Mr. Crank
states that the instrument is a good one,
possessing fine tone, and it's design is a
handsome one. The history Of the pole Of
which the violin is a part Is familiar to
older settlers. The pole was erected during
the civil war and the stump has remained
in the ground until removed by Mayor
Crank. II was located on the south side Of
the cut near the Water street bridge.

JUDGE HANFORD
HANGED IN EFFIGY
Some of Those Participating in the Job
Are Jailed.

Seattle.-Charged with conspiring to
obstruct the administration of Justice
in a United States court, Oliver T.
Erickson, member of the Seattle city
council; Leroy Sanders, editor of the
Seattle Star; B. H. Garfield, publisher
of the Star and manager of string of
newspapers on the Pacific coast; John
H. Perry, attorney for Garfield and
for Sanders; Deputy Sheriff Hugo
Kelly, Paul X. Mohr, labor leader;
Thomas Horner, an attorney, and Will
Atkinson, real estate dealer, were ar
rested on warrants sworn to by United
States District Attorney Elmer E. Todd.
Erickson, Mohr and Kelly refused bail
and were sent to the county Jail. At
kinson was released on $1,000 bail and
the others on $4,000.
| The warrants for arrest of the alleged
conspirators were issued as the result
of the hanging in effigy of United
States District Judge Cornelius H. Han
| ford and the utterances at a massmeet-
ing of infammatory speeches denounc-
| ing the court for issuing an injunction
restraining the people of the Rainier
valley from interfering with the Seat
tie, Renton & Southern railway, which
is involved in dispute with its pat
rons.

ers of the massmeeting with conspiracy
to obstruct justice by arousing people
to disobey the injunction and incendiary
| ra orlr cd OF ba aotinr
also charges Garfield Sanders and Perry
with responsibility for the hanging in
effigy of Judge Hanford.
The injunction that caused the out
burst was granted on the petition of
August Peabody of Chicago, trustee for
the bondholders. At first it enjoined
the patrons of the car line from refus-
ing to pay second fares demanded at
Kenyon street and from asking trans
| fers.
Later the injunction was modified so
that passengers were given receipts for
their second fares, and transfers upon
the payment of cents additional.
Patrons of the line ignored the in
junction.
In this they were encouraged by Can
field and Sanders in their paper and by
the speakers at the meeting.
Petitions asking congress to investi-
gate Judge Hanford IS acts for the pur-
pose of formulating articles of impeach-
ment have been circulated and reso-
luton denouncing the court and de-
manding Judge Hanford IS removal were
adopted.
