GOVERNOR
PARDONS TWO MEN
ONE OF THEM HAD NEVER BEEN
SENT TO PRISON DESPITE
HAVING BEEN SENTENCED.

Springfield, ILL.,, Dec. 16.-Maurice
Enright, sentenced to life imprison,
ment in the Joliet penitentiary for the
Altman murder in Chicago, and Joshua
1edford, the former policeman who
escaped serving penitentiary sen.
tence through clerical error, were
pardoned today by Gov. Dunno.
Acting on the recommendation of
the state board of pardons, the COVER
nor today granted absolute pardons to
both.
Enright was convicted in 1911 Of the
murder Of Vincent Altman. The kill
ing grew out of the labor war that
then held the city of Chicago in it's
Srasp. He will be released in time to
he at home with his family on Christ
mas day.
Tedford was convicted in 1903 on a
charge of conspiracy to defeat justice
and given an indeterminate sentence.
BY the action of the clerk in the GRIM
inal court who failed to give proper
notice to the sheriff, directing Ted
ford's commitment to the peniteni-
tiary, the later was never called on to
enter on the service of the sentence.
With sentence hanging over him
bedford obtained employment by a
clothing store in Chicago and in the
ten years since his trial has risen" to
high place of confidence and esteem
in the big State street establishment.
With its recommendation in the En-
right case, the board sent the governor
private opinion Of more than 5000
words. The board said:
eve are of the opinion that Enright
is probably innocent of the crime of
which he is charged and convicted and
that in any event the doubt as to his
guilt is more than reasonable and is so
weighty of character that executive
cIemency should be exercised"

Additional help will also be afforded in
that department and it is the plan that
no patron of the Ottumwa Office
whether in the city or on rural route
will have to call for his or her mail
Christmas If they are on a carrier
route.
Among the things the local Office
asks Of the patrons to make this
service what it should be, and to avoid
the delay Of matter sent by Ottum-
vans to places outside of the city, is
to mark plainly every article Of mail
sent; to wrap securely all packages
that they may go as sent without
trouble, and finally to place the return
card Of the sender on each article.
Deliveries will be made Christmas

COURT REVERSES
DIVORCE DECISION

Des Moines Dec. 16.-The supreme
court has reversed the Guy II. Hall d.
vorce case, from Dallas Center, and
laid down the law that the affinity
racket" doesn't go in Iowa divorce
trials.
Mrs Georgia s. Hall won from her
husband in the Polk county district
court and was awarded $1,000 alimony
and $500 attorney fees. This is all an
nulled by the action Of the court and
the couple after some months of di-
vorced life find themselves again mar
ried by decree of the highest court of
Iowa.
Many extraordinary incidents occur
red in the trial of the case in Polk
county. and Justrial Byron w. Preston,
who wrote the supreme court opinion,
cites many Of these. The couple were
married at Dallas Center May IA. 1905.
They had known each other from child
hood. They had frequent love quarrels,
but after each reconciliation the love
flame was brighter than ever. Only a
short time before marriage Hall, &C
cording to the testimony in the case,
wrote to his fiancee this note: yours
until death do us part
Following the marriage thee was,
according to the court records, an
agreement that there should be no chill
dren. From the date Of this agreement
there appeared to be an estrangement.
The wife, the court record shows, was
charged with admitting to neighbor
that she did not love her husband and
that she had an affinity" In 1910 Mrs.
Hall came to Des Moines to study
music at Drake conservatory. In 1911
Mr.. and Mrs. Hall entered an agreement
that they would separate for term Of
two years. During this time the couple
were not to live in the same house. Mrs.
Hall was allowed $500 cash and 500
attorney fees. The court finds that Hall
lived up to his part of the agreement,
but that Mrs. Hall within three months
filed a petitiOn for divorce

SACRIFICES SLED

A little boy in Houston, Tex, has
been so thoroughly imbued with the
meaning and significance Of the Red
Cross seal campaign that he announc-
cd his intention Saturday of foregoing
all the pleasures he expected to gain
from a new cart, which he intended
to purchase with the nickels he has
been saving, and of buying 50 worth
of Red Cross Christmas seals instead.
He says he believes he would rather
buy Red Cross seals, and In that way
help some one enjoy Christmas who
has been having sorrow in his home
during the year.
The Kings Daughters have the sale
OF the seals in OttEmwa and have
established selling place in the lobby

POST OFFICE IS
GETTING READY
M'CARTY PREPAR.
ING FOR HOLIDAY RUSH
SOON TO BEGIN.
TO DELIVER BY AUTO
Extra Help Will be Hired and Every
thing Done to Insure Delivery
of All Christmas Mall
on Time.

II there are any Ottumwans who
doubt that Christmas is big thing in
Ottumwa these doubters are not en-
ployed about the handsome big federal
building or in the postoffice depart
ment here.
Quite the contrary obtains at the
postoff1ce for there everything is pre-,
pared and has been thus for some
time past. No small factor in the ex-
pected heavy holiday business is the
parcel post that has been increasing
by leaps and bounds with a greater
growth in view say the postoff1ce en-
ployes.
The regular Christmas or holiday
mail matter is always large and each
year has witnessed growth over the
year previous until now the depart
ment lays it's plans weeks ahead for
the handling of the rush that over
whelms the department all over the
country for some time prior to Christ
mas and short time afterward. The
intention everywhere Is to handle
Christmas mail with all possible dis
patch and to avert if possible any de-
lay Of this mail in delivery.
VIII AvOiQ OeidyS.
There will be no delays in Ottumwa
postoffice in the handling Of the
Christmas mail if previous prepare
ton and through organization can
prevent it. That the force here will
be organized to handle the holiday
rush is already evident for Postmaster
C. w. McCarty has been lying awake
nights planning on how to handle the
rush when it comes. He has profited
by the experience Of prior years in
planning for the present but the in
crease Of the parcel post business has
made the question one demanding
more thought than heretofore.
To meet the occasions that arise in
handling without delay the annual
rush. a large space is this year af-
forded the local Office and room is not
a matter to be considered. There Is
ample room and this will be made use
of literally. The vast lobby space will
be utilized to handle the parcel post
business and if the rush becomes too
great to handle it all there, some OF
the windows will be .<ed but only In
the event Of the lack Of room In the
lobbies.
Will Have Extra Help.
Additional clerk hire will, help to
care for the rush which is expected to
begin within a few days. Some twen-
ty applications from high school boys
have already been received and there
will be no dearth of help. The object
according to Postmaster McCarty is
to avoid any delay that can be avoided
in delivering Christmas mail matter
to the public at the time it is expected.
Two automobiles will be in service
