from the Valley and his arrival at
Richmond was unknown to the Federal

Cyrus Phibbs, a civil engineer.
swore that on the day before the
shooting when the Allen jury came
into court to report disagreement,
Claude and Victor Allen prepared
themselves for verdict by reaching
for their revolvers.
Dexter Goad, clerk of the court,
who was shot four times during the
ARRAY, refuted the charge that the
court officers had begun the firing;
and testified he did not see Sheriff
Webb draw his revolver. On cross
examination it was developed that
he had written a letter to the con-
trary. Webb was instantly killed.

MUCH ALARM
Perry Farmers Stirred Up Over the
Danger.

Perry, May Farmers in the
vicinity of Gardiner, southeast OF
this city, are considerably agitated
over the appearance of couple OF
cases of blackleg, which are report
ed in that vicinity. They are the
first cases of the kind reported for a
number of years. Two calves belong
ing to Henry Capp were taken sick
a few days ago, and DR.. H. NJ. Stew
enson, who was called to attend
them, found the animals in the last
stages of the disease. They died a
short time later. The balance of the
Capp herd were vaccinated at once,
and the herds of some of the neigh
5ors have been treated in like
manner to prevent the spread Of the
disease.
Several years ago the disease
broke out on the farm, but it was
stopped, and the veterinary states
that the present cases are caused by
the germs which developed at that
time.

FATE OF MORLEY
RESTS WITH JURY
Case Against Nebraska Convict
Ended.

Lincoln, Neb., Nav THE case
against Charles Morley, the only liv-
ing member or the trio of convicts,
which on March IA last, killed three
officers of the Nebraska peniten-
tiary, went to the jury shortly be-
fore 6 o'clock last evening. No tes-
timony for the defense was intro
duced. One witness was called, but
the line of the. proposed testimony
was objected to by the state and
the court sustained the objection.
The argument of opposing coun-
sci took up most of the afternoon.
1t was the contention of the defense
that no proof had been brought to
show that Morley had participated
in the actual killing, and that there
could have been no generalization
because, contended his attorneys, it
was shown Morley was under the
influence of morphine when the plot
was first discussed and during the
outbreak.
For the state it was contended
that 1t availed Morley nothing IL he
did no shooting so long as he was
a voluntary participant in the muir
derous outbreak.
The charge of the court was in
harmony with the contention of the
prosecution.

METHODISTS
DIVIDED ON
Law REPEAL
Spirited Debate in Conference Ex-
pected on Recommends
ticn Of Bishops.
SECRETARY WILSON ATTACKED.
Iowan Condemns Secretary for
Mixing With the
& Brewers.
SECRETARY WILSON ATTACKED

Minneapolis, Mimi, May A.
Ministers of the Methodist Episcopa
church appeared to be equally di
vided last night on the question
whether the church law prohibiting
dancing, card playing, gambling AMI
going to theaters, circuses and horse
races should be abolished, as recon-
mended by the board of bishops.
On the ground that their investi
cations showed that two-thirds Of
the S,250,00O members of the
church either danced or went to cir
cuses and theaters without regard
ing it as being sinful, the bishops
declared that the church law
against these diversions, in force for
forty years, had become obsolete,
They asserted that while the church
would not continue to protest
against these forms of amusement,
still it was better not to have any
specific law on the subject than to
have a law which was ineffective.
John Wesley's injunction leaving
the amusement question to the con-
science of the individuals, the TWEEN
ty-four active bishops declared, was
the West regulation for Americans
of the twentieth century"
A demonstration which greeted
Bishop Mari Cranston's reading of
the recommendation was taken as
indicating lively debate on the
question when it comes up for vote
of the $50 delegates. A motion de-
clearing that the rule always had
been a source of constant irritation
and unrest in the church." and ask
ing that it be referred to commit
tee, was promptly voted down, argu-
ments being presented that the full
conference was "going to settle that
question and no one else"
In adopting a resolution offered
by James w. Anderson of Keokuk,
Ia, denouncing Secretary of Agri-
culture James Wilson for accepting
the honorary Craftsmanship of a
brewers congress in Chicago last
October, the conference declared
that President Taft, Secretary VIII
son and Secretary of State Knox
"have forfeited all claims on the flu
ture franchise of the Christian and
sober manhood of the nation, "be-
cause they had ignored appeals that
no government official attend the
congress. Secretary Wilson's explain
alton that he attended the congress
because he was interested in the
growth of hops and barley was de-
scribed as IAN insult and friyo-
lous.'
The conference yesterday appoint
ed a commission of thirty delegates
to consider the demand of some Of
the negro delegates that they be
given negro bishop to supervise
the affairs of $4,000 members of
their church in southern states.

U. 5. GUNBOAT
IS INTERCEPTED
Yorktown Will Not Stop at Mexican
Ports.

Washington, D. c., May 4.-The
torpedo boat destroyers, Preble and
Perry, which were sent from San
Diego to intercept the gunboat
Yorktown. with orders to avoid
touching at any Mexican port for
coal on her way northward from
Central America, got that vessel yes
terday by wireless and the York
town will come directly to San Di-
ego.
1t is said at the navy department
that the inhibition was not at the
instance of the Mexican govern
ment, but was voluntary precau-
ton OF this government against ex-
listing anti-American feelings in
Mexico, through misunderstand-
ing of the Yorktown's purpose.

. ID . e
The secretary of the board, in his
early correspondence with DR.. Sum-
ner, said Michigan would be glad tc
take care of Hirschfeldt, and asked
that his return be immediate.
Either the Michigan board decid.
ed Iowa is better equipped to take
care of a suspected leper than is
Michigan, or thinks the state needs
the experience, so DR.. Sumner says
At any rate, the Michigan board
by it's official action yesterday says
"You keep him, Iowa, we don't
know him."
Word reached DR.. Sumner early
yesterday that Bay City had locked
it's gates against Hirschfeldt, who
votes there and has done so for 10,
these twenty years.
Since he had the word of the
Michigan health board official that
the state would receive the man, DR..
Sumner did not worry, but the offic-
ial action of the state board puts a
different complexion upon the mat
ter.
It is probable a ruling from Sur
geon General Rupert Blue will be
necessary to dispose of Hirschfeldt.
Dr.. Sumner says there is no reason
why Iowa should shoulder the bur-
den.
Even the strenuous occurrences of
politics has not disturbed the offic-
ial temper of the state house so
much as has the Hirschfeldt case
during the last week
Gov. B. F. Carroll, the other mem
bers of the executive council, and
the state board of railroad commits
sioners have been in on the worry.
