UNDER PAROLE FROM SAN
QUENTIN, CALIFORNIA
Released After Serving ssvsn Of
Twenty Years Ssntsnes-lneIinsd TO
Be Sorry He Shot Cedar Rapids
Switehman During Battle With Pur-
suers-May Be One Of Lee Gang.

Cedar Rapids, Aug. 1s.--Just as the
police thought, Harry Delmire. who
ran amuck frightening every one in the
south part Of the city and shooting
Frank Nayra, a Northwestern switch
man, is an ex-convict He confessed
that he was a parole yiolator from
San Quentin prison, California, where
he had been sent 10 serve twenty years
for assault, with intent to rob. He
served his time under the name Of
Harry Wilson.
Delmire was the most repenant man
ever. when Sergeant Smetena was
taking his Bertillon measurements and
his finger prints. There was not a
yes,ige left of the bravado that char
acterized him Saturday when he
frightened the entire poulation south
Of Sixteenth avenue.
But he has no explanation to offer.
except that he had been drinking and
that he made the mistake OF thinking
the large number Of workingmen in
the saloon were bad men.
According to his story his real name
IS Edgar Yorke, and his home original
~ 8asfSss AiA-s N-aSi AA'S
was a barber. He left home at an
early age and was arrested in Califor-
MIA. for assault with intent TO rob and
sentenced TO twenty years at San
Quentin At the expiration Of seven
years of his term he was paroled and
instead Of attempting 20 make good he
violated his parole. Since that time
ii. has ice. living hv HIS wits. some
of the time employed as a tean1ster.
HIS hands do not show the slightest
evidence of any toll however.
He stated TO the police that he had
not been AT Quincy for ten years and
was not sure whether his parents lived
there al presen; or not. He gave his
age az thirty years.
He insists that he alone broke In
the kapian store late Friday night
ind that he broke the window TO get
the guns He took no billy clubs or
watches. He says he examined the
watches in the window and found
them worthless.
The police are inclined to accept his
version OF IL. There might have been
two other men there who, hearing
the crash of the window. decided to
make their escape before the police
arrived, and they might have had
reason 20 fear the police.

just a Little Vacation and Business
Trip, He Said.

Chicago, Jan. 15.-Jack Johnson. who
was stopped at Battle Creek, Mich,
Yesterday while on his way to Toronto
despite the terms of a bail bond hold
ing him within the jurisdiction of the
United States district court at Chicago,
gave a satisfactory explanation to
Judge Carpenter today.
He was not surrendered on the $780,
900 bond covering his appearance to
answer charges of violating the Mann
act, but was given up on $4,000
bond covering a charge of smuggling
The $4,000 bond was allowed to
stand and the prize fighter was given
the time to secure a new bond on the
smuggling charge.
Johnson told the court he had no
intention of evading trial. He said he
wanted to talk with Tom Flanagan,
his former manager at Toronto, CAM
on business matters.
But you shipped two automobiles
did not your inquired Judge Carpen-
ter.
Johnson said that was true but he
had merely intended to enjoy few
days vacation before shipping them
back to Chicago.

TROUBLE AHEAD
Democrats Start 1T Early in
Session.
Will Investigate Republican
Administrations.
THOSE CONTINGENT FUNDS
O'COnnOr'S Resolution in House
Calls for Investigation.
All Old State OfficerS-COm-
mittee of Three.

Trouble for the outgoing admins
tration was started in the house to-
day in a joint resolution offered by
Robert O'Connor of Miami county,
who demands a legislative investtga-
ton of the expenditures of all con-
tingent funds, of the acts of all state
officers and state appointees and of
the conduct of the business affairs of
all state charitable and penal inStitu-
lions. The resolution, which laid over
under the rules until Thursday morn
ing, will probably be accepted as an
administ ration measure and promises
to receive the endorsement and sup
port of the Democratic members of
both houses.
O'Connors resolution asks that a
committee of three member be aP-
pointed at once to proceed with the
investigation and to report its findings
to the governor and members OF the
legislature. 1t preScribeS the appoint
ment of one member of the committee
from the house, the appointment of a
second member from the senate and
the appointment of a third member by
Governor George H. Hodges. It urges
the investigation of every state office
and state department under the Stubs
administration and for a rigid investi-
CATION of the expenditure of all
moneys in appropriations and con-
tingent funds by all departments.
1t also demands that the employ
be looked into and that a report be
filed concerning the number of people
on the states payroll and the actual
service employees. 1t covers a search
ing investigation of every state char
table and penal institution and de-
mands that report be filed concern
ing the business administration and
expenditures in these institutions.
James w. Orr, floor leader for the
administration in the house, will sup
port and fight for the passage of this
resolution when it is presented and Of
fered for debate. Two years ago Orr
offered an almost similar resolution
looking to the investigation of the
contingent funds of the attorney gen
eral the bank commissioner and gov
ernor The resolution passed the
house and on Friday afternoon was
IN essa gcd to the senate. That body
adjourned until Monday afternoon In
the time which interviewed, enough OPP
position to the measure was enlisted
to defeat it when presented for debate
in the senate.
Now Orr will back O'Connor and
lead the Democratic forces in the
house to adopt the resolution. The
O'Connor resolution created a senSa-
ton in the house and this afternoon
is the chief topic of conversation
among the legislative members.
Immediately following the introduce
ton of OConnor's resolution. a re-
cess was taken until 10 o'clock Thurs
day morning.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1913-01-15

accompanied by several other officials
presented the company's position. Mr..
Atkins contended that abolition of all
DUTY on sugar would cause the termina-
ton of the Cuban reciprocity treaty
under which Cuban sugars get a pref
erent1al rate of 20 per cent and Cuba
gives preferential rates of 20 to 40 per
cent upon goods coming from the
United States. He also declared that
free sugar would open the United
States markets to the importation OF
refined beet sugar from Europe on the
same terms raw sugar in competl-
ton with domestic refined. Free su-
gar. while present production is main
tained,' he said, would drop prices
here so low as to destroy the Louisiana
industry, the beet sugar industry par
ticularly east of the Mississippi river.
would depress Porto Rico and Philip
pine sugars far below their production
cost and make Hawaiian production
improbable thus largely curtail1ng our
present sources of supply.
"Once this production is so reduced,
declared Mr.. Atkins, foreign prices
would advance until domestic producers
could again enter the field and mean
while disaster would be widespread and
consumers would get but temporary
benefit"
