JUDGE MCPHERSON
WISHED PROGRAM
Gladly Set Aside Time During Fed
oral Court for Bar to Hold
Memorial for D. f.
Miller.
DURING BUSY SESSION
Committee WIN Present Resolutions
and Several Short Addresses
Will be
Made.
DURING BUSY SESSION

When Judge Smith Mcpherson was
informed of the resolutions passed by
the members of the Lee county bar on
the life of the late Daniel f. Miller
and that a committee had been ap-
pointed to present these resolutions to
the federal court in this city to be
spread upon the records, he expressed
desire that there be a formal program
at that time. He desired that the
court business be suspended at that
time although this session o. the court
here will be such that 1t is probable
that not nearly all of the cases expect.
ed to be tried can be heard in this
city.
Mr.. Miller was an old practitioner in
the federal court in the southern dis.
trict OF Iowa and had appeared a
great deal when the terms held in Keo.
kuk were much longer than at the
present time and when some OF the
largest cases in the entire district
were heard here. He will be remem-
bered by many of the older attorneys
from other cities who generally appear
in the federal court when 1t convenes
here.
The memorial exercises will be held
on the first day Of the term at o'clock
in the afternoon. The term opens
Tuesday, October 81. The meeting OF
the bar will be public. No word has
been received from Judge Mcpherson
this week but he will be here Tuesday
and is on the program. District court
will probably be adjourned at this
time.
The committee appointed by Judge
Hamilton in the district court to pre-.
sent the resolutions of the Lee county
bar is composed Of Hazen /. Sawyer.
w. c. Howell and H. R. Collins. Mr..
Sawyer will present the resolutions
and Mr.. Howell and Mr.. Collins will
speak for them. Others who will talk
are T. A. Craig, w. G. Blood, Father
James Dunnion, Judge Henry Bank.

GET NEGRO HUNTED
Posse at Work In Northern Part OF
County Falls-Was Seen Head
Ing South, is Report.

FIT. MADISON, Oct 1.-THE col
ored man who has been leading
large posse of men on a tireless
search Of the Green Bay bottoms in
the thought that he was the slayer OF
ida Leeghon, the Mason City school
teacher and Chicago art student VINO
was murdered at Chicago last week,
is still at large, and his whereabouts
more of a mystery than ever. The
web of guards which kept him in the
Hagerla timber north of Green Bay
nearly all day Thursday was unable
to cope with the darkness and little
after dusk the wanted man was seen
passing the Robert LANCE place, three
miles from the Hagerla timber, and
headed toward Fort Mad sen. That
the negro was headed south WAS made
more apparent when three bees"
sleeping in the Wescott station, some
five miles northeast of Fort Madison
on the c., B. & O., reported seeing
the darkey pass that place in the
early evening. about thirty minutes
before Geo. Rogers, with the Des
Moines county sheriff, Burlington
officer and c., B. & @. detective, pass
ed the station in an auto, headed for
Fort Madison.
With the knowledge OF the coming
OF the negro toward Fort Madfosn,
and suspicioning that he was desir-
Gus OF getting into the city before
morning, large force of men, includ-
ing Sheriff Datin and county officers,
with Assistant Police Chief Hart and
police officers, formed guard line
from the pump house to the river, to
and around the prison, out on the
Burlington road to the Green Bs.

NOTED EXPERT ON HANDWRITING HERE
 IN SAADl TRIAL

William J. Kinsley, the handwriting expert from New York who has testf- fed in the Nancy GuiIford murder trial and other famous cases in this county is a witness in the trial of Sani A. Saadi, a Syrian charged in the Superior court today with black mail. MT. Ktnsley remembered At torney Jacob B. Klein and other law yers he had met in previous trials here.
 When a blackboard twas brought out to be used in the trial, the expert identified the writing on the board as something he himself had written IA years ago during the trial of an al- 1eged forger from South Norwalk. It was evident that the board hadn't .7ean used in court lately.
 Saadi is charged with writing a let ter to Miss Alice Vile, daughter of a prominent Danbury physician in which he threatened her with bodily harm unless she sent him $200.

PROSECUTION IS NEARLY THROUGH
 IN WOOD TRIAL

Boston, May 28.-When the dyna- mite conspiracy trial was resumed in the superior court, today, the prose cutting attorneys hoped to conclude the presentation of their evidence by the close of the days session. Judge Crosby, who is presiding, announced that he would extend the proceedings beyond the usual hour of adjourn ment, if necessary to appellate mat ters.
 MT. Woods general man. Daniel Mahoney, and Charles F. Boivin, chauffeur, were called by District At torney Joseph c. Penetier to tell more of what was done by the principals in the case before and after the confer ence at Woods Andover home on the night of January 19, 1912. In prev ious cross examination of witnesses for the state, the defense introduced evidence that the conference was for the purpose, primarily, of passing up- on a letter which Wood had addressed to the trikers and not, as the prose cution alleged, in furtherance of a plot to plant dynamite

SUPERINTENDENT BIRMINGHAM IS
 VERY MUCH BETTER Alarming Reports of Condi- tion Not Justified Say
 His Family

Superintendent of Police Eugene Birmingham who has been confined to his home with complications resulting from his former illness, is today re- ported by members of his family as greatly improved.
 Although congestion set in few days ago necessitating a slight oper- ation to relieve his distress, the ill., ness is not considered alarming and it is asserted the report that trained nurses were in attendance was not warranted.
 Drs. Robert J. Lynch and Winthrop Pyle, the attending physicians, are re- ticent in speaking of their patient, but it was definitely ascertafned that their reports show he is much inprov- ed today. In fact such convalescence is shown that the genial head of the police wished to get out of his bed.
 This however will not be permitted as yet and 1t is believed that he will be later induced to take the much needed vacation which the Board of Police Commissioners will probably voluntarily grant him at the next meeting
