Sioux City Councilmen Take to the
Woods.

L Sioux City, Dec. 1s.-City coun-
cilnen and employees in the city hall
scrambled out of their Offices. into
the Railways and onto the fire es-
capes yesterday to avoid a visitor
afflicted with smallpox. He was
seeking the mayor to learn what he
must do to observe the law with his
case of smallpox. He gave his name
as John La Vegell
He wandered from one Office to
another while everyone fled before
him. His face was badly broken
out. Miss Annette Smith, secretary
to the mayor, held her place alone
and locked the stranger in the base
ment while she telephoned for the
city ambulance. The mayor and
councilmen were not anxious to re-
turn to the building.
Health Officer Lerch was called to
the city building Immediately on Of
fetal business. He came and was
ordered to fumigate the building. AS
a result the city hall smells like a
formaldehyde factory.

Chicago to Iowa City, according to
Ralph Williamson of Davenport,
who came to Iowa City from La
Sale, ILL.,, with the news of the
progress of the injured man. He
also accompanied the remains Of
Thomas Adams to Kalona.
Mr.. Williamson's burns are SER
ious, but their extent will not be
known for another day, as it is i'm
possible to tell whether the lungs
are affected or not. Physicians be-
lieve that they are clear and that
no complications will follow, which
would insure his recovery. Mr..
Williamson had on heavy overcoat
and cap, so that the burns We're con-
fined to his face. Both Williamson
and Adams got out of the car before
the. trainmen arrived, Mr.. Adams dy-
ing after he left the car. Williamson
asserts that there was no stove in
the car and that the cause of the
accident as given out by the Rock
Island was not correct.

BOY BADLY HURT
PLAYING indian
Comrades Jump on Young Russell
Putnam.

Iowa City. Dec. 13.--As the re-
suit of a little game among a crowd
OF youngsters on South Lucas street
here Wednesday evening, in which
7-year-old Russell Putnam was sup
posed to be the Indian chieftain
against whom his subjects arose In
revolt to kill him for his cruelty,
Putnam is today lying under the
care of physician with at least a
collar bone broken and 1t is feared
other injuries perhaps internal in
character.
He played the part OF the stall
wart Indian chieftain to perfection,
it is said, and so realistic was the
uprising against him that the injur-
les resulted in the scuffle. The crew
literally mobbed him, in playful
mood, but when the gang had piled
off his PROSTATE body, the little
chap lay on the ground moaning in
deadly earnest.

$50 GIRLS ESCAPED
DEATH IN FLAMES

Chicago, Dec. b. More than $50
girls narrowly escaped death yester-
day in fire which swept through a
five story brick building at North
Fifth avenue and West Lake street,
occupied by several manufacturing
concerns
The girls were at work in all
parts of the building when the fire
broke out and filled the structure
with smoke.
A panic resulted when workers
made rush for the doors and win
dows in an effort to escape. Many of
the girls tainted or were overcome
by smoke and were rescued with diff
ficulty
Fifty girls employed on the fifth
floor Of the building crawled out of
the windows onto a narrow ledge
and climbed to the roof of an adjoin-
ing structure where they later we're
rescued by firemen. Two escaped by
jumping through skylights in the
roof of an adjacent building.

KELLEY DENIES
FORGING note
Iowa County Farmer is on Trial for
Forging Note.

Iowa City, Dec. ia hard
fought criminal case is promised in
the prosecution of Patrick Kelley, a
well known Iowa county farmer, for
the uttering of a forged instrument.
1T is alleged that he forged the
name Of his brother, James Kelley,
on a Joint promissory note and pre-
sented 1t to the Oxford State bank.
The state has as exhibits a dozen
other notes, ranging over many
years past, which, it is claimed, rep
resent similar forgeries, but practice
ally all OF them are outlawed James
Kelley denies his signatures to the
instrument, which forms the basis
of the prosecution.
Attorneys for the defense yester-
day filed demurrer to the indict-
ment, claiming that it does not
charge an indictable offense. The
state relies for support on the de-
cision of the supreme court in the
Weaver forgery case from Iowa
Falls, in which somewhat similar
indictment was upheld after it had
been ruled void by the lower court.

staged attempt yesterday to kidnap
and rob M. j. Wright. cashier of a
butter company here, of nearly $780,
900 was successful in every way ex-
cept getting the money.
Mr.. Wright was involved in an
alteration with a supposed drunk
en- man, enyeloped in sack, bum
died into an automobile, carried
swiftly away to a deserted street
half dozen miles distant, and re-
leased blindfolded, so that the rob
bers had disappeared by the time he
had got the bandage off his eyes.
The only mistake made by the
robbers was in not noticing that Mr..
Wright tossed his satchel, contain
ing $2S,027 in currency and checks,
behind telegraph pole before he
was thrown into the automobile.
Mr.. Wright was walking to de-
post the money in a bank when an
apparently intoxicated man STUN
bled out of an alleyway and fell
against him. He pushed the man
away, upon which four Others fell
on him and pulled sack over his
head. A motor car dashed up to the
curb and Wright was tossed into it..

SUBPOENA IS
ISSUED FOR
GOV. WILSON
Asked to Appear Against the Men
Held As Black
mailers.
GOVERNOR MAY NOT BE CALLED
Slight Probability of President Elect
Being Needed in
Case.
MAY NOT BE CALLED

Newark, N. T., Dec. 13.-Presi-
dent-elect Woodrow Wilson may
face in court here next Tuesday the
three men accused of threatening
his life. A subpoena was issued by
United States Commissioner Rich
ard H Stockton late yesterday for
the president-elect's appearance and
in order to make this possible he
postponed the examination of the
alleged blackmailers from Monday
to Tuesday, by which time it is ex-
pected the Wilson family will have
reached New York from Bermuda.
The letters which Warren Dunn,
Jacab Dunn and Seeley Davenport,
who were arrested Tuesday night,
are alleged to have addressed to
Governor Wilson at Trenton, were
opened by Joseph P. Tumulty, the
governors secretary. Mr.. Tumulty
also was subpoenaed yesterday. In
case his testimony as to the receipt
OF the letters is accepted as sufficient
proof Governor Wilson may not be
required to testify. The issuance OF
the Subpoenas was described by
Commissioners Stockton as mere
formaIity, but the commissioner
hoped the president-elect would APP
pear, since he was the proposed VIC
tim of the plot.
The threats in the letters We're in
demand of $4,000 or life, and one
Of them reminded Governor Wilson
OF the fate of Mckinley and the at
tempt to kill Colonel Roosevelt The
specific charge on which the three
men are held at present is misuse Of
the mails. Jacob Dunn is the alleg-
ed author Of the letters. All the men
have been known in the Morris
county region for a number of years.
Reports of their extreme lawless-
ness" are denied by neighbors, who
say they were of IAN apparently
harmless sort
Z Federal authorities intimated yes
terday that they had doubts of be-
ing able to hold the trio. The main
evidence is similarity between the
handwriting in the letters and that
of Jacob Dunn.

WOMEN
VOTE AGAINST DRYS
San Francisco Measure Defeated
Four to One.

San Francisco, Cal, Dec. H.
Figures on yesterdays charter
amendment election have tended
further to upset predictions made
more than year ago as to the at
titude the women of California
would assume toward municipal re-
form measures if they were granted
the franchise.
The principal amendment at issue
yesterday provided for the creation
of local option units in the residen-
tial districts of San Francisco. 1t
was defeated by vote OF four to
one
In recent municipal election in
LOS Angeles. where the percentage
of women voters exceeds that Of the
men. a drastic saloon regulation or
dinance was beaten by more than
three to one.
In the campaign of a year ago,
preceding the election at which
woman's suffrage was adopted, the
liquor Interests supplied the most
formidable opposition to the propos-
ed innovation, basing their fight on
the claim that If women were grant
ed he ballot California would be
made prohibition state within two
years.
