FEDERAL OFFICERS TAKE HIM.
Transient Picture Solicitor at Wau-
kOn Taken by L. :. Marshal
Philpot to Dubuque to
Answer White Slave
Charge.

The transient picture solicitor
Morton, who was arrested by Sher-
/ iif Larson last week, is now headed
for a government penitentiary from
all appearances. His wife sought
to break up his intimacy with anoth-
er woman by having him arrested
for nOn-support. Upon her belief
that he would return to her she with
drew the charge, but Deputy y. S.
Marshal Philpot from Dubuque was
on hand and promptly took him into
custody on a charge of having violat-
ed the Mann act by taking the young
woman from her home near Lansing
across the river to De Soto, Wis, for
immoral purposes. The facts were
obtained from the young woman her
self. She is Miss Inga Pladson, %
years of age, whose acquaintance
Morton had gained and had then en-
listed her assistance in canvasslng
the neighborhood of her home near
Daily for his picture work.
The prisoner was taken to Dubu-
que Thursday by Deputy Philpot, ac-
companied by Sheriff Larson and
Miss Pladson to give her testimony.
At his hearing next day Morton waiv-
ed examination and was held to the
grand jury under $4,000 bonds
which he was unable to furnish and
he is now in the Dubuque jail to re-
main until the December term of the
federal court. He gives his age as
&c and says he is from the east. He
and his wife came to this vicinity
about three months ago
Morton's infancy has caused untold
sorrow, and one pitable circumstance
is that of his young wife who is but
Is years of age. She was married to
him two years ago at her home in
Lawrence, Kansas, and despite his
act is still loyal to him and desires
to remain near him in his present
trouble. She herself is in delicate
condition and is left here without
means. In a desire to support her
self she has been doing homework
for a family in town, but it can be
frankly stated that her case ought
to at once enlist the sympathy and
assistance of the ladies of the league
of human kindness, if there's one
about here.-Waukon Democrat.

A Splendid Improvement.

While out looking over proposed
sites with the hospital committee
Saturday morning an inspection was
made of the improvement made on
the slope and top of Pleasant hill by
George Hill, in the vicinity of his
residence. Oak street has been grad
ed in fine shape so as to give easy
ascent to the top of the hill, where
there is some level ground. There
are two lots on the hill that he has
offered to the hospital committee for
a site, tract 106x125. The i'm
provement is a good one, and the
site is worthy of consideration in
connection with the hospital PROPOSE

Moving Tail Wrecks Thresher.

An interesting tale of how a
horses tail put a separator out of
commission comes from a farm near
Dry Lake, at Hayti, S. d. One OF
the horses on a bundle-wagon, while
passing the feeder, switched it's tail
to drive away flies. The tail caught
and became entangled in the feeder.
In an instant the tail had been pulled
out by the roots, as it were, leaving
only the stump. The severed hair
passed into the cylinder and put the
threshing machine out of commls-
sion.

EUROPE WILL
KEEP HANDS OFF
POWERS HAVE BEEN INFORMALLY
SOUNDED ON SUBJECT.
H. |. WILSON IN TROUBLE
Resignation Of, Diplomat Effective Oct.
IA May Be Accepted at Once John
Lind Establishes Relations With
Mexican Foreign Office.

Washington, The United States gov.
eminent has informally sounded the
powers and learned that foreign govern
ments generally will do nothing to em-
barrass the peace policy of President
Wilson toward Mexico and are inclined
to support it,
Henry Lane Wilson, whose resignation
as ambassador to Mexico recently was
accepted to take effect Oct. IA, issued a
statement attacking the reported state
ment OF inc British foreign office that
recognition of the Huerta government
had been extended after he had made
"a congratulatory speech" to the pro-
visional president.
President Wilson read the ambassa-
doris statement and was SO incensed at
its tone and contents that he promptly
requested Secretary Bryan to ascertain
through the British embassy here wheth-
er the utterance of the British foreign
offic as reported was correct, and the
dismissal Of Ambassador Wilson by sum
mary acceptance Of his resignation to
take effect Immediately was under con
sideration by the administration.
Dispatches from John Lind, personal
representative in Mexico Of President
Wilson, indicated that he was in per
sonal touch with FREDERICK Camboa, the
Mexican minister of foreign affairs, and
was preparing to submit the representa-
tions of the United States on the resto-
ration Of peace in Mexico
Chief interest centered in the admin
istratiOn's attitude toward Ambassador
Wilson's remarks concerning the British
government and the information that
European governments were disposed 20
lend their moral support to President
Wilson's policy.

COTTON FUND

PROPORTION OF $50 100000 ADD
TI0NAL FOR BANKS READY.
BANKERS POINT OUT NEED
Stipulation That Ten Per Cent of Sc
eurity for Deposits Be in Govern
ment Bonds Withdrawn.

Washington. Treasury department
officials practically decided Monday to
begin within the next few days placing
in banks in the cotton states their pro
portion Of the additional $4,000, 600
government deposits for crop-moying
purposes. The need for these deposits
in the Southern states was outlined by
the bankers from that section at the
recent conferences with officials Of the
department.
II was stated at the department that
the cotton crop movement already had
begun and that the need for the money
was urgent. Representatives from sew
eral Southern states told the department
that unless the money could be placed
within the new few weeks it would be
practically yalueless to them.
A consideration that was most potent
in deciding the department was that
the South could return the money in
time for its use in other sections. 1t
was indicated that the cotton planters
would be through with money during
September and that it could be returned
to the treasury department not later
than the middle Of November. No final
decision has as yet been reached on the
psoportion Of the deposits that are to be
made in the respective sections, but it
was made clear that at least half would
be placed in the South.
Announcement as to the proportion of
the various kinds of security that will
be accepted has not yet been made. Gov
eminent bonds are not to be insisted
upon, however, it was stated at the de-
partment. It had been determined that
10 per cent of the security should be in
this class, but at the request Of the
bankers this condition has been waived
Instead, it is said, the proportion of
good commercial paper has been in
creased.
On most of the questions involved in
placing these deposits, however, the final
decision and announcement will not be
made until after the conference at the
department with the far Western bank
ers.

ment, I. H. McMichaels, dismissed page
of the house of representatives, presented
to the house lobby investigating COM
mittee sweeping charge Of corruption
against Representative James E. McDer-
mott Of Illinois, for years his sponsor.
With intense earnestness McMichaels in
picturesque language, corroborated the
allegations of M. M. Mulhall againts Me-
Dermott, and made additional charges,
at times shocking the committee and
spectators with outbursts Of profanity
and slang. The witness declared that

money, had helped him in his campaigns.
Now, he said McDermott had thrown

GOVERNMENT CROP DEPOSITS.
COMPTROLLER SEEKS DATA
Those Banks That Earnestly Strive to
Meet Currency Demands Of Agricul-
tural Sections Will Get
Benefit of Loan.

| Washington.--Ban which borrow OF
loan money for speculative purposes will
be denied any portion Of the s5O,OOo,O0G
of government funds about to be de-
posted in the national banks to assist
in moving the crops, and the entire
amount will go to institutions that
earnestly strive to meet the currency
demands of the agricultural sections.
This policy Of the treasury department
was announced when Acting Comptroller

call for the condition of national
banks at the close of business August

country to report detailed information
Of all money loaned or borrowed. Upon
the basis of this data, expected to be
available in time for the distribution 81
the $50,000,0OO, the treasury depart
ment win aim to differentiate between
the banks which borrow or loan in con
nection with speculative operations OIL

condition of national banks in order that
the treasury department may know what
sections of the country are in need Of
