Bluffs Freshmen Are Hazed,
Creating Riots on Streets

Thirty freshmen OF the Council Bluffs
High school. who recently were promoted
from the grades, were hazed yesterday at
noon. When they started home, they were
set upon by a crowd Of students numbering
fully fifty, each OF whom was equipped
with a device for branding the newcomers
as fresh"
Iodine was used TO paint the hands faces
and clothes OF the victims. Horse clippers
moved swaths through the fine heads OF
hair. and various nonsensical signs were
attached to the unfortunates. The chemical
WAS painted about hair, noses and eyes
without regard TO any injury that might
result
The scrimmage reached climax I'm the

runaway and uproar the whole length or
the thoroughfare The bunch OF initiates
was marched to the vicinity OF the Meth
dist church, when a general police alarm
was turned IN. The appearance of the
bluecoats instantly dispersed the unruIy
ones.
School authorities at the Bluffs are furi-
Gus over the outbreak, as they thought
the hazing spirit had been eradicated and
have taken steps to punish the dlsturbers
TO the utmost In their jurisdiction.
A number OF girls In the new class had
their faces painted with iodine and their
clothing torn. The use OF Iodine in this
manner constitutes a felony under the
Iowa law equally culpable with the offens,
OF throwing acid and may be punished with
a penitentlary term.

he did not serve subpoenaes given him by
the grand jury woodward also asked that
a deputy sheriff other than Fred CDr'O
Vuirich be appointed to guard the grand
jury room.
The request of Foreman woodward
caused a sensation here inasmuch rs
Sheriff Shepard was mentioned in the first
reports, which later were denied, as hav-
ing admitted buying votes. IL was for
him. according to the stories, that City At
torney Frank w. Jones is alleged to have
bought votes, as related to the grand jury
yesterday by newspaper men.
Vutrich, the deputy, was one of Sheriff
Shepard's chief henchmen i'm the last elec-
tion and preceding primary.
a rUmor was circulated early today that
Mr.. woodward, who has appeared from
tine very first as the central figure of the
investigation, and who has been looked to
by the element here which desires a thor
ough search as the one man OF the county
who would satisfy all demands for thor

witnesses were being questioned before the

either an assistant to States Attorney
John II. Lewman or a special assistant
states attorney be named TO conduct the
| examination.
Attitude of Prosecutor.
! States Attorney Lewman has not claimed
at any time to be the moving factor in the
investigation. but has refused to announce
any plans or commit himself in any way
except to say that he was only the servant
of the grand jury and would await the
commands OF that body.

BIG LIQUOR FIGHT
IS NOW IMPENDING
Cambridge Vets and Drys to
Fight 1t Out to the
Bitter End.

Whatever may be the result in the
approaching fight to again place Jack
son township IN the ranks of the
VETS" from which it was forced by a
blanket remonstrance, operative since
June, 1910. it will be accomplished on
ly after hard fight-probably the har-
dest which has ever characterized a
liquor question contest in this county,
and which will probably demand the
attention of the county commission
ers for a month or more.
The fight will be launched Monday.
in all probability, when the "wets"
will ask that the remonstrance be de-
clared null and void. Two reasons foI
asking this will be cited. one being
that the remonstrance was illegally Sc
cured by the "drys" and the other that
the commissioners records are in er-
.ror. AS to the last point the "drys''
will attempt to have the records am
ended and corrected in case it is found
they are incorrect.
Whatever ruling the commissioners
give, the defeated faction will probab-
ly appeal to the circuit court and may
even carry on the fight to still high
err court, depending of course upon the
decision rendered by the circuit court.
The fling of the application of Ray
Fraunberg for liquor license, opera
tive in Cambridge City. where he and
his mother have hotel. was the first
official step in the impending contest.

BURNS PREDICTION.

CHICAGO, DEC. THAT more ar
rests may be expected in the Los An
geles Times dynamiting cases was the
declaration today Of William J. Burns
the detective who directed the gather
ing of evidence against John J. Nc
Namara and his brother. James
Burns intimated that there is evidence
against men higher in rank than John
j. Mcnamara.
1.-The arrests are not to be made at
once" he asserted. but they are a
certainty. 1t would be unwise at this
time to indicate who the men are. or
how many there are, but it can be
stated as fact that every person con
nected with these dynamiting Outrag'
es will be brought to justice, no mat
ter who they are
DO you mean to intimate that some
Of these men are of high rank?" the
detective was asked.
You may interpret what I said as
you WILL" he replied II am satisfied
that the labor unions will be among
those most eager to see every person
connected with the dynamiting pun
ished.
Rewards To His Men.
"Originally there was about $780,
900 outstanding in rewards. But all
that has been called in except $500,
offered by San Francisco builders, and
$4,000 offered by the city of Los An
geles. 1t is rule of my agency never
to accept rewards, and l will not &C
cept this for the agency, but l expect
to divide it among several OF my men,
who have proven loyal to me despite
kreat temptation.
After we arrested the McNamaras
several efforts were made to bride my
men to get possession Of the evidence
in the case. Sums ranging from S.,
900 to 5000 were offered to my men
in efforts to get them to betray me
But they stood by me. ! used to
think every man had his price. but l
know that not one Of my men can be
bought for $4,000. Those who re-
sisted the temptations deserve the re-
wards outstanding, and l will see that
they get the money. l cannot reveal
their names, for that would spoil
their future work for me. My agency
was paid in this case according to
the number of men employed. Some
time l had more than 100 men actively
at work. At one time Los Angeles re-
fused to pay me more money because
I would not make weekly reports on
my progress, and 80 had to go into
my own pockets for funds. l spent
more than $4,000 of my own money
but that has since been repaid to me. "
