CASE OF STATE VS..
JACOB METZ ENDS

Cantril, Aug. 13.-The big criminal
case of the state Of Iowa vs. Jacob
Metz, which has been fought out In
the Van Buren, county district court
at Keosauqua came to sudden end
when the case was continued and the
defendant released on q personal bond
/ of $500 and given an opportunity to
pay the amount involved The case
has attracted great attention over the
southern part of the state, as the plain
tiff. John Sarr. is one OF the wealthiest
and most prominent stockmen In the
entire central west.
The history of the case extends over
several years, and dates back to the
time when Jacob Metz, Chicago
stockman, formed partnership with
Sarr for the purpose OF carrying on
the buying and selling Of live stock
After the firm had been In existence
for some time It was dissolved and
Sarr brought charges against his form.
er partner, claiming that Metz had,
by cheating. false pretenses and other
criminal practices, secured from him
the sum OF $14,s00. The latter was
placed under arrest at his homo ID
Chicago and extradited to Keosauqua,
where the charge was brought against
him. He won the case, being released
under bond Of $500, despite the fact
that the amount involved was nearly
$4,000. and then will be permitted to
refund the money as best he can.

BULK OF THRESHiNG Is FINISHED
IN SOUTHERN PART OF
THE STATE

Des Moines, Aug. 13.-For the week
ending August II. 1912:
The past week was cool and show
cry with an excess Of cloudiness and
humidity. The average daily deficiency
of temperature was about eight de-
grees, and while the average rainfall
was about normal many localities re.
ported an excess<of moisture. In some
sections showers occurred every
working day Of the week, which de-
layed threshing and stacking, but the
bulk of shock threshing is finished in
the southern, and Is we'll advanced in
the northern districts. Reports con.
tinue to show large yields of small
grain. Corn is still doing we'll and
with favorable weather In the future
will make one Of the largest crops
ever produced in this state. Many OF
the early planted fields in southern
and central counties are now in the
roasting ear stage and the late plant
ed fields are making rapid growth.
but would do better with warmer
weather. Pastures and potatoes are
improving, and are generally in good
condition. Fall plowing for winter
wheat has begun in southern sections.

them, only to find that the two fight.
ers combined and whipped the In.
truder. Major Mahon said that the re.
publicans stand in front of public
danger and cited the democratic ma.
'tional platform as proof OF his state
ment. "If onehalf of it's platform is
carried out" said he, I'VE will be up
against something that l hesitate to
contemplate. Wapello county men are
ready to come together and face the
common enemy The man who is
nominated will get the united support
OF Wapello county"
"I have seen men in congress who
are older than Major Mahon," began
William Reece "The name of Major
Mahon is synonymous with republican.
ism in the sixth district and in the
state of Iowa. 1t will not be necessary
for Mr.. Mahon to make campaign.
His name is known; his fame is
known, and he is popular with old
soldiers and with the sons of veterans.
I feel that If Major Mahon consents
to make the race there will be force
behind it. 1t is not,a forelorn hope to
elect man. Major Lacey was success
full when the odds we're greater against
him than now. Major Mahon could
make a short speaking campaign and
the young men would do the rest OF
the work. The names of Milt McCord
of Newton and Ellsworth Rominger OF
Bloomfield are mentioned, but none
will sound better than the name OF
Major Mahon"
Calls For Ballot.
o. L. Shadford at this juncture
moved that the conference proceed to
an informal ballot and the three men
receiving the highest number of votes
to be balloted on formally. DR.. A. O.
Williams seconded the motion. c. G..
Porter said he was not opposed to
ballot, but he favored county conven-
tion. William Reece stated that the
congressional committee had full
power by law to make the selection.
Adelbert Christy was not favorable to
a ballot, contending that the confer
ence should wait and see what plan
the congressional committee had to
offer. H. L. Waterman here moved as
a substitute motion that the matter of
balloting be put off until the county
convention. r. r. Ramsell seconded
the motion. c. C. Porter advanced the
information that majority of the
congressional committee favored
county conventions to select congress
sional convention delegates, and F. A.
Nimocks' motion that Mr.. Porter use
his influence at the congressional COM
mittee meeting Thursday to put It up
to congressional convention was car
ried.
Adjournment was then taken.

TO HAVE VIOLATED CAM.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 13.-Repre.
sentative Theron e. Catlin of Missouri,
republican, was unseated last night as
a member of the house of representa-.
tiyes and his democratic opponent,
who contested the election, Patrick F.
Gill was seated amid wild en-.
thusiasm from the democratic side.
The vote to unseat Catlin, who was
charged with violation Of the Missouri
law governing campaign expenses, was
121 to H. Gill was seated by vote OF
1O4 to 70, with % voting present.
Leaves Like School Boy.
Mr.. Catlin just before the first roll
call left the seat he had occupied in
the center of the republican side Of
the house and went to his desk, far
in the rear. He lifted the desk lid and,
using an adjoining chair as re-
pository, removed all Of his books and
papers. Like a school boy who had
been dismissed from the schoolroom,
he left the chamber with tagging steps
stopping only to grasp the out
stretched hands Of sympathetic
friends. Three.quarters of an hour
later his successful rival stood before
the speakers desk and took the oath
of office.
The case, throughout the seven
hours of debate, was bitterly fought on
both sides. Representative Anderson
of Minnesota, republican, who con-
Quoted the argument in behalf Of Mr..
Catlin, made a speech OF defense. He
was aided by Representative Switzer
Of Ohio, Olmstead Of Pennsylvania.

tion to Pick Successor

The conference of republicans OF
Wapello county last night in the rooms
ofthe Commercial association resolved
to put the matter Of selecting sue,
cessor to Congressman n. e. henoa1l
nm to q congressional convention.
After ascertaining from Congressional
Committeeman G. G. Porter tnat ma
fority Of the sixth district committee
fayors the plan of having individual
counties pick the nominee, Frank A.
N,mocks moved that Mr.. Porter re-
commend to his associates on the
con eressional committee the question
~ assembling the delegates to the
1,,ne conventions. It will be the duty
of these delegates in turn to select
congressional convention delegates,
ana the. congressional delegates OF the
seven counties in the district are to
center on one candidate and that one
is to be appointed Mr.. kendan,s sue
cessor by the congressional commit
tee. The law reads specifically that
It is within the power OF the congress
sional committee to name Mr. Ken
dall's successor, and the convention
of district delegates is to be held only
in an advisory sense.
The delegates to the Wapello coun-
" convention held here June 20. were
selected by the primary Of June 2.
They number 100.
Aside from this action, the confer
ence brought out as q suggested can
didate for the honor of congressman,
Major A. H. Hamilton. Among the
sneakers was one republican who IA
vored Wapello county not recommend
ing any man this year, but to wait for
two years and then insist upon the
other six counties in the district CIV

which for the past forty years, ex-
eept In one instance, has been without

Missouri, bore the brunt of the prose
cution.
Spent $ao,2o0 in Election.
The charge against Mr.. Catlin was
that he and his family had spent
$40. 200 to elect him to congress. when
the Missouri law prohibited an ex-
penditure by candidates OF more than
1862. Other charges Of fraud were
made, concerning all of which Mr..
Catlin denied knowledge. He also
denied he knew at the time of any ex-
penditures made by his father and
brother.

regard to this, and l came here TO-
night to help make selection OF q
man for congress, and whoever ls
selected to make the race will have
my hearty support"
Waterman Would Lay OF.
The suggestion that Wapello county
withdraw from the race at this time
was made by H L. Waterman. II was
very glad to hear the remarks of
Major Mahon,' said Mr.. Waterman.
"I knew in my heart that he should
not accept the candidacy. He and |
have always been close friends, and
I want to see him save his strength
and not sacrifice it in heat Of a cam
paign. Wapello county has never had
an elective congressman. Mahaska,
Keokuk, Appanoose, when 1t was In
this district, Davis and Monroe have
had, and we had an opportunity to set
up candidate when we had more OF
a chance to win than this year. Let
us pass it up this year and In two
years hence let us get out. It Is not
an opportune time to come in here and
claim something that we have been
entitled to for forty years.

F. A. Nimocks differed with Senator
Waterman, declaring that he believed
that republican can be elected this
fall. "Whoever is nominated" said
Mr.. Nimocks 'I will be strong for
him, be he Cal Manning or anyone
else. want to mention the name of
one republican, M c. Gilmore, one
thousand, young democrats, in the dis
trict will vote for him. Mr.. Gilmore
would get good per cent Of the labor
vote and he will get the vote Of the
young men all over the district. I like
to hear more candidates discussed
At this iuncture w. H. Fl. Asbury
suggested the name of Major A. III.
Hamilton. who Immediately replied:
'I don't want to commit suicide" "
Continuing Mr.. Hamilton said: Il
have decided to stay up there on the
hill and spend quietly the rest Of my
life. I am SO years old and quite salts
fed to spend the rest Of my life quietly
on the hill. don't know whether or
not 1t is an honor to get down there
in Washington"
cIark's Candidacy Boosted.
DR.. A. O. Williams stated that the
situation was somewhat different this
year-the Office seeking the man in
stead Of the man seeking the office.
DR.. Williams asked what was the
political requisites Of the candidate?
The speaker said it was incumbent
upon the meeting to select a man, and
he declared that Frank B. Clark had
announced himself as candidate and
was ready to make the race. Hand
clapping followed the mention of Mr..
Clark's name.
L. A. Andrew stated that other
counties are to present candidates for
the honor and 1t Is up to Wapello
county to get busy He said he was
well pleased when the name of Major
Mahon was mentioned, and that this
was the year that the republicans had
to make a fight to decide whether the
party would go on the rocks or be
victorious.
Mr.. Waterman sandwiched in the re-
mark that if the party got on the
rocks it would get eff again. "1t has
done it in the past and will do 1t
again." said he.

of factions reminded him of the fam
