Capt Clinton was not an unkind man.
Long service in the police force and
mistaken notion of the proper
method of procedure in treating his
prisoners had hardened him and made
him brutal. Secretly he felt sorry
for this plucky. energetic little woman
who had such unbounded faith in her
goodfor-nothing husband. and was
ready to fight all alone in his defense.
Eyeing her with renewed interest, he
demanded:

Paid Boys so Cents 70 Rob Houses.
Fifty cents burglary is a rate fre-
quently paid to boys by an organized
gang of crooks in West Forty-fifth
street, New York city, that employs
youngsters to do the bulk of its work,
according to the testimony of the
young operators for the band in a po
lice court.
Three boys, averaging a dozen
years in age called as witnesses in
the case of John Clark, accused of a
aat robbery, admitted committing the
crime, but said it was instigsted by
Clark, and that a gang known as he
'FOrty-fifthers" fathered many such
robberies.
'The 'Forty-ffthers' are all the time
getting boys to rob for them" testi-
fed thirteen-year-old Joseph Cook.
They pick out the places to be rob
bed and put the boys in over transoms
and then pay the boys so cents or a
dollar"
Clark was held in $500 bail for ex-

DEATH PENALTY
Fer GEN. DIAz
Sentence Suspended by Order
Of Supreme Court
REBELS ARE STILL ACTIVE
President Madero and Senate In Sharp
Discord Over Execution of Young
General.

General.
General Felix Diaz, leader of the
revolution recently inaugurated in
Vera Cruz, Mexico, and tnree OF his
fOnfederates have been sentenced 10
death by the court martial before
which they were tried in that city.
AZ the same time word of the YER
dict againsl Diaz was received in Mex
iCo City came the report that the mil.
tary courC mad decided to recOgn ze
the order OF suspension of sen.e4lce
upon the revolutionary leader, gr4n.ej
by the supreme court, pending inyesti-
cation as 70 wAetAer the trial of Dlaz
should be by military or civil court.
Popular apprehension regarding the
fate of. Diaz has not been greatly al
layed, however, by this action OF the
court martial
The delay in the receipt of the news
regarding the outcome of the military
trial is characteristic of all communi
cation between the capital and Vera
Cruz. The uncertainty as to what Is
transpiring there has served to in
crease the tenseness of the situation.
Friends of Diaz still fear the conse.
quences of the conflict of authority
which has arisen between the Judiciary
and military courts. If the military
court observes the order of the civil
authority, the final disposition of the
case will be long postponed. But 1t
would be no surprise to thousands in
Mexico City to receive a message an
nouncing the execution Of the rebel
general and his associates.
Efforts to save their lives, especially
that of Felix Diaz, continue unabated
Prominent women, men high in al
fairs, members of congress and even
high army officers, have appealed to
President Madero for clemencJe But to
all he has given the same negative
answer.
To a group of women he intimated
that to show clemency would be con
strued by the world as an indication
of weakness. He cited as an example
that when he captured Juarez he par
doned General Navarro, which acton
the world attributed to weakness in
stead of to magnanimity.
The popular voice of protest has
grown so strong against the execution
| of Diaz that there has arisen between
the president and the senate a sharp
discord and as individuals the sena
tors have seriously discussed the ques
ton of impeachment because of the
administration defiance of tina,
body's Interpolation Friday.
An incident showing the popular
titude occurred at Chapultepec on the
occasion of visit of a committee ol
women who pleaded for the lives OF
the condemned men. When leaving Z {
castle they were cheered by cadets o.
the military college quartered in the
same building.
That the quick suppression of the
Diaz revolt has shown strength on tte
/ part of the government is conceded i
the capital, but that the situation gen
orally has been improved is a matte
! Of doubt.
! A number of rebel bands who wer,
operating in many parts of the repub

ANNUAL COMPETITIVE SHOW TO
OPEN DECEMBER IL AND
CONTINUE FOUR DAYS 1T
is ANNOUNCED.
COMPETENTIUDGE EMPLOYED
Place of Exhibition Not known Yet
Agricultural College Experts and
Others to Give Practical Lectures
COLLECTIVE Display at State Fair
VIII Be Attractive.

The date of the next annual show
of the Polk County Poultry associa-
ton has been decided upon and 1t is
announced that the exhibit will open
on the morning of Tuesday, Decem-
ber II, and continue until the night
Of Friday, December 20, thus giving
four days in which to view what is
intended to be the best and most
comprehensive display ever made
anywhere in the state. Agricultural
college experts and others competent
to speak on the subject of poultry
raising and marketing from the view
point of actual experience are to be
engaged to lecture and give practical
demonstrations of various processes
necessary to the business.
Judge W. NJ Goats, Of Vancouver,
British Columbia, one Of the leading
poultry authorities Of North Ameri-
ca, has been engaged to bestow
the awards. This alone will be a big
attraction to all that have fowls to
exhibit, as a card signed by him
means something among well inform
ed fanciers. Judge Goats in his re-
cent letter of acceptance, says that
he was then at Winnipeg, Manitoba.
where he was judging his twenty
first show within the past year
Place Not Selected.
The question Of deciding on the
place of holding the annual show
has not been settled. The matter was
put up to the Commercial club sew
eral weeks ago. but no action was
taken. Several other towns I'm the
county will undertake to swing the
event this year, and 1t will quite evil
IDENTIFY be a case of the longest pole
knocking the persimmons.
During the next state fair to be
held at Salem this fall, Polk county
poultrymen are to make a county dis
play that will undoubtedly attract
a great deal of attention and be the
means of giving wide publicity to the
progress of the industry here. Every
breeder within the borders Of Polk
will be expected to assist in swelling
the number OF high class fowls that
will be collected to make a general
county display in the Capitol City at
that time. The idea was advanced
at the recent annual melting and has
already received much favorable
comment
Good Idea.
