LITTLE BOY STOPS
DELIVERY OF JAIL
Marshall Prisoner Digs Through
Jail Wall.

Marshalltown, May S1.-Donald
Edgar, little son Of the Marshall
county sheriff, prevented jail de-
livery here yesterday.
Using the leg or table to dig his
way to liberty, Drake Ashley, arrest
ed for robbing childrens banks at
the E. l.. Lane home, had succeeded
in digging nearly through the brick
wall when Sheriff Edgar found him
and placed him in a solitary cell.
The boy was playing in the Jail
yard and noticed that chips of NOR
tar were falling about him. Picking
up a little piece he noticed that one
side was painted the same color as
the interior of the Jail.
He informed his father, with the
result that Ashley's work was dis
covered in time to prevent his es-
cape.

WAR CLOSED
BY A Treaty.
"Peace Of London Signed by Dele
gates in st. James
Palace.
ALLIES ARE LESS HOSTILE
Servian and Bulgarian Premiers
to Meet on From
tier.

London, May 31.-The eight
months war between Turkey and
the allied Balkan states is ended.
The peace of London was signed
yesterday in the picture gallery Of
ST. James palace.
Sir Edward Grey, the British for
eign secretary, presided over the
formalities. The following peace
delegates signed the preliminary
treaty:
Osman Miami Pasha for Turkey,
DR.. Daneff for Bulgaria, Stefan Nov
akovitch for Servia, Stephanos Sko-
loudis for Greece and M. Montene-
gro.
The only dramatic feature of the
historic occasion was M. Popovitch' S
expression of keen disappointment
that Montenegro had "been dispoil-
ed Of her just share Of the spoils of
a triumphant war" and of the hope
that England, which took the lead
in the spoilation," would take every
step to compensate Montenegro for
her sacrifice.
The actual ceremony was very
brief. The delegates signed the
treaty without reading it, evidently
in full confidence that all the seven
articles were in such wording as the
powers chose to have them.
The Bulgarian delegate proposed
that peace become Immediately eff
fective without ratification of the
treaty. This proposal was rejected
and the delegates then left after
having agreed to meet June 2 to
consider the ACCESSIBILITY of an even
tual annexed protocol.
After informing the ambassadorial
conference of the signing of the
peace draft, Sir Edward Grey sug-
gested that the conference limit it's
discussions to three questions
constitution for Albania, the delimi-
tation of the southern frontier of
Albania and the status of the Oegean
islands. The ambassadors now are
awaiting further instructions from
their governments regarding a con-
stitution for Albania, but the con-
ference is working in greater har-
mony and expects to conclude its
labors by the end Of June.
The relations between the Balkan
allies show distinct improvement.
The proposed meeting between Bull
garia and Servian premiers now is
definitely fixed to take place on the
frontier today.
The latest suggestions for settle
ment Of the quarrel between the two
countries is that Servia and Bulgaria
denounce the old treaties and con-
clude a new alliance providing for
joint administration of Macedonia.

Jefferson, Ia, May 29.-E. E.
Wenner lost his life and M. B. Jones
was seriously injured by the prema-
ture explosion of dynamite yesterday
afternoon about ten miles southwest
of Jefferson.
Wenner and Jones, who both live
here, were drilling well on the
farm occupied by Frank Albert
They encountered a rock which they
desired to break with the dynamite
The charge was placed in the well
and an attempt was made to ex-
plode it, which failed.
The charge was then drawn to the
surface. After loosening the wires
and examining them for break,
Wenner attempted to again connect
the wire with the cap on the dyna-
mite. but the switch from the bat
terry had not been removed and the
instant the wire came in contact
with the cap on the dynamite the
charge exploded.
Jones is still alive but Is in a SER
ious condition, and his recovery is
not expected.

AMERICAN COMM|S-

Commission on Agricultural Cooper

Rome, Italy, May 31.-The Amer
lean Commission on Agricultural Co.
operation which has been in this
city investigating systems of agri-
cultural credit and cooperative pro-
duction and marketing, left here to-
day in five groups to study condi-
tions with regard to special crops.
One of these groups, headed by
Col j. Shelby Williams and Clarence
Ousley, Of Fl. Worth, Texas, has
gone to Egypt to study methods Of
financing and marketing the Egyp-
tian cotton crop. The Egyptian bale
of cotton has been accepted as the
worlds standard, and it is a well
known fact that American cotton
growers are losing large sums OF
money as a result of their failure to
properly bale and grade their cot
ton. It is even claimed that in the
United States one half of the real

the farmers through poor selling
methods, and lack of financial ia
cilities. In Egypt the Government
has established the Bank of Egypt,
which has done much to assist the
cotton growers of that country in
the important task of financing their
crop The subcommittee will secure
complete report on the workin gs
of this institution. The Egyptian
methods of baling, grading and mar
keting their crop will be closely
studied. This sub-commission will
remain in Egypt until the middle of
June, according to present plans.
They left Rome armed with letters
of introduction from the bank of
Rome and other European financial
institutions.
A second subcommittee left for
the south of Italy and Sicily to study
fruit raising and marketing methods
of that section.
Three subcommittee have gone
to the north of Italy, and at Flor
ence will separate to study the three
subjects of rural credit banks, land
credit or mortgage institutions, and
cooperative societies for producing
and marketing farm products, prin-
cipally the cooperative diaries of
the north of Italy which have made
great strides in recent years.
This division into subcommittee
with itineraries arranged in the rur-
al districts is the real beginning Of
the Investigation of the commission,
since the sessions of the commission
in this city have necessarily been

With its departure from Rome the
commission puts behind it most of
the formal entertaining which form

visit to the eternal city.

There was an exodus of Italians
from the city during the day, many
going across the river to Omaha and
others taking trains for other cities.
The Greek vice consul at Omaha
received cognizance of the damage
done by the mob Thursday night to
business places owned by Greeks and
said he would lodge complaint at
once with the state department.
Two car loads of South Omaha
packing house men are said to have
arrived last evening. Four years ago
an attack was made on the Greek
quarter in the latter city and sew
eral persons were shot and others
beaten up.
The Dodge Light Guards are at

governor decide that expedient nee

said:
Owing to persistent rumors of

more serious trouble with repetition
of this mornings destruction of
property, we have taken precautions
to guard against it. 1t trouble comes
we will meet it and you can say for
me there will be no more such riot

one of the Greeks whose property
was damaged was in any way con-
neeted with the murder of Jones,
and it is outrageous that they should
be made to suffer. Besides, it's our
