Bayard WELLER, the author of the
smashing melodramatic success With
in the Law" which will be seen at the
Opera House tonight, declares that
the report of a statistician that some
Is, 900 men and women in the United
States are trying to write plays, is pro-
badly true. mot more than eight Of
them are succeeding, though, says
Mr.. WELLER. That's why it isn't safe
for man who has once had a success
to walk down Broadway with pack
age under his arm. Some manager IS
sure to futter from an Office building
and throw him down and try to take
ii away from him. The managers are
getting desperate"

CEDAR FALLS NAN
HANGS HIMSELF TO
RAFTER IN barn
Family Troubles Thought to Have
Been Cause of Suicide of
Aged Resident.

Cedar Falls, April 13.-Horace
Sherwin, aged about 70, a promi-
nent pioneer resident committed
suicide by hanging himself to raj
ter in barn loft Saturday. His
body was discovered by Marshal En-
low late Saturday night when a
search for the aged man, who had
been missing all day, was instituted.
The body was stiff and cold when
found and it is believed the man
had been dead for many hours.
Sherwin was last seen alive about
$3.50 o'clock Saturday morning
when he left the house and failed to
return. It is believed he went d.
rectly to barn across the alley
from his home and committed the
act of self-destruction.
He is survived by wife and sew
eral grown children. He had been
living apart from his family for sew
eral years and it is supposed contin-
ued brooding over this caused him
to kill himself.

CITY COUNCIL
SAT- OVER BOMB,
MILES DISCOVERS
Old Treasurer Had Bottle of Nitro
glycerin in Safe, Intended to
Kill Yeggs.

Des Moines, April 13.-City Of
ficials were surprised yesterday to
learn that for several weeks there
has been danger of an explosion in
the treasurer's Office which would
probably have cost several lives.
This alarming situation was re-
vealed when Floyd F. Miles, city
treasurer, called Noah w. Davis, city
chemist; to remove an ounce Of nj
troglycerin from his safe and throw
it into the river.
The nitroglycerin was placed in
the safe by Mr.. Miles predecessor,
John A. Backman, who believed that
if yeggs should blow the safe they
would be killed by the explosion on
the inside.
The new treasurer, however, de-
cided it was a too dangerous burg
lar alarm as an accidental explosion
might result if someone happened to
jar the bottle while placing one of
the big record books in the safe.
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1914-04-14

tails of the charges made against
the men were given out, and the
grand jury will continue it's inves-
tigat'on of the kidnapping this after
noon, holding a special session for
that purpose.
The men are being held without
bond. The Rev. Mr.. Spurgeon spoke
against the Catholic priesthood, and
his utterances in that connection
were said to have caused a riot at
his lecture last Saturday night and
his subsequent abduction.
Barney Sylvester, the chauffeur
who drove the automobile in which
the Rev. Sturgeon was taken to Hen
derson, Colo, by his abductors, was
among those arrested. The others
are Frank Nugent, a chauffeur;
Frank Soran, William Doran and
Jerry Cronin.
It was understood that a score or
more John Doe" warrants had been
issued last night by the jury and
many witnesses had been subpoenaed
for today's session.

CONFESSED BANK
R0bbER MAKES HIS
ESCAPE FROM JAIL
Man Who Took $1,000 From AL.
toona, Pa, Institution Gains
Freedom From Prison.

Altoona, Pa, April 13.-Using a
rope made from his mattress, Frank
G. Hohle, the auto bandit who con.
fessed to holding up the cashier and
paying teller of the Union bank here
and escaping with $4,000, fled from
the Hollidaysburg Jail early yester-
day.
The flight of Hohle, who was to
have been sentenced today, was not
discovered until after sunrise when
an employe at the Jail saw the rope
dangling from the roof. Hohle had
climbed through a window eight
feet above the floor, eighteen inches
long and less than a foot wide to
reach the roof.
At the time of the bank robbery
Hohle shot depositor who was en-
tering the door as the latter was
fleeing. He then terrorized a crowd
in the streets by firing fusillade
of shots from his pistol before dis
in a stolen taxicab.
Hohle, it is said, confessed to pre-
vent his wife, who is in delicate
health, from being tried as an &C
complete.

CHURCH SERVICE
SYMPATHIZER OF INDUSTRIAL
WORKERS CAUSES TROUBLE.
Young Woman Starts Verbal Attack
on New York Pastor and Is
Arrested.

New York, April 13.-Jane Est, {
young woman sympathizer with the
doctrines of the Industrial Workers
of the World, yesterday at the
morning service of the Madison
Square Presbyterian church, inter.
rupted the service and was arrested
Arising from seat in the gallery OF
the church, Miss Est started an at.
tack on the Rev. Dr.. Charles H
Parkhurst, the pastor.
Il want to call your attention tc
an article in this paper" the young
woman said. 1t was just as the
prayer of conservation was about to
be offered. AS she spoke she way
ed a newspaper. "This church." she
added, has a minister who repudi-
ates Christ"
The organist, catching sight OF
the speaker, began running his fin
gers gently over the keys. Miss Est
then essayed to pitch her voice
above the melody of the organ, but
the organist threw on the pedals and
fairly shook the edifice with the
sonorous vibrations of the big pipes.
Only syllable or two of what the
woman was trying to say reached
the congregation.
Hearing the disturbance, the SEX
ton rushed to the street and called
a policeman and these two men, as
sisted by members Of the congrega-
ton, elected Miss Est She was TAX
en- to a. police station where she was
charged with disturbing public wor-
ship. When she was brought before
the desk Miss Est Remarked:
Nobody could be heard with that
old organ squeaking"
Miss Est was held in $500 bail
for examination on Tuesday. She
was not able to furnish bail.
DR.. Parkhurst, who was i'll, was
not in the church when Miss Est
began his harangue.

WEbb-KENY0N
MEASURE IS Up
HELD IN KANSAS
Supreme Court of That State Rules
That Government May Take
Charge of Liquor Shipments.

Topeka, Kan, April 13.-The
Webb-Kenyon bill, passed by con.
gress, which gives the states control
over liquor shipments, met the fav-
or of the Kansas supreme court Sat
urday. AS a result of the decision
Kansas will take charge of all liquor
shipped into the state.
The case was that of St. Louis
brewing company appealing from a
decision of the district court in
Cherokee county. The St. Louis COM
pany shipped a carload of beer to
Corona, Kan. State officials confis-
Gated it under the Webb law, and
the company sought the return of
the beer or reimbursement.
without this law no state has
any more control over liquor than it
has over the shipment of wheat and
corn" said Justice Burch, who
wrote Saturdays opinion. eve be-
lieve that the liquor traffic can be
made subject to the same regula-
lions as obscene literature and white
slavery, and that congress has suf-
ficient power to regulate the ship
ments of liquor as it has to prohibit
transportation Of white slaves
