, o1d0 nun, louoht09 ana converting - u
nothing had occurred. Her demeanos
clearly showed that she was not
alarmed in the least over her husbands
arrest and that she intended to stay
with him to the end. Mrs. York Is a
woman of rather small stature. with
light hair and sparkling eyes and an
expression that denotes good humor.
She repeatedly refused to discuss her
husbands arrest. altho she declared to
the officers that she believed he was
innocent. Mrs. York was at home when
she was notified Of her husbands ar
rest. She Immediately hurried to his
store and remained with him constant
ly during the rest OF the day.
Woman Cause Of Arrest.
The arrest of York was accomplished
largely thru the efforts Of County At
torney Guthrie and Coroner Lee. More
than week ago Mrs. o. e. Jackson.
whom York Is alleged to have trans.
ported from Kansas City to Des
Moines. apprised the county attorney.
it is said Of certain alleged Illicit rela-
tons she had had with the Colfax graz
Ger.
The woman also told the county at
torney that she and York had travelled
from Kansas City to Des Moines to-
gether and that they had stopped at
one of the hotels. An investigation re-
vealed the fact that Mrs. Jackson ana
a man supposedly her husband, had
registered there. The man was York,
ment.
After an elapse Of three days, the
county attorney set about to secure a

Officer Stretton was asked by Mr..
Guthrie TO locate the woman. He went
to her home. sos Forest avenue and
found that she had gone away. BY rep
resenting himself to be a horse buyer
for the Mexican government, Stretten
learned from the Woman's neighbor
where she had gone. She is believed to
be in Topeka, Kan.
The county officials were furnished
with another clue in the Wheelock
mystery yesterday. a woman chiropo-
dist reported to the county attorney
that she treated the bankers feet on
Dec. l. the last day he was seen alive.
He was suffering from corns. When
she asked him his name he stated
'Wheelock." She thought he was a
Des Moines man. but he explained that
he was a banker at Colfax. The Of
ficials believe this bit of evidence tends
to indicate that Wheelock did not have
any intention Of committing suicide.
Prisoner Reticent.
From the time he was placed under
arrest by Deputy Marshall Bidwell un-
til the time he left the federal build
ing with his wife and Attorney Trip,
York was very reticent. He refused to
make to reporters any statement what
ever and several times when questioned
by them became angry.
Only once, and that when asked
point blank what he knew Of the mys-
ferrous personals" found in his pocket
at the time the officers searched him,
would the grocer make a comment of
any length.
DO you know anything Of the origin
Of the personals of which clippings
were found in your effects?" he was
asked while sitting in Commissioner
Fitzsimmons' Office.
Il certainly do not" he replied hotly.
They were merely advertisements that

low. Political Contest Important.

Iowa Political Contest Important
iowa will play a most important
part in national politics in the next
few weeks" remarked Col. Frank A.
Dubois, Of Des Moines. at the Raleigh.
THE death of Representative irwin
Pepper, Of Muscatine, has precipitated
fight that will undoubtedly attract
national interest before very long, be-
cause 1t will mean contest to the fln-
ish between the democrats, republicans
and progressives. Mr.. Pepper was serv-
ing his second term in the house, ana
last year was re elected with practical
~ no opposition. Had he lived Mr..
Pepper would undoubtedly have been
the candidate of the democrats for
United States senator against Mr.
Cummins. and many astute politicians
Of all parties believed he would win.
Pepper had been the secretary of Mar
tin J. Wade, the democratic national
committeeman OF Iowa, whom he had
succeeded in the house. With Pepper
and Wade building up their organiza-
ton. the. democrats had every reason to
hope that Iowa would grow into safe
~ democratic state, and this hope was
strengthened when last year two other
districts that had always been republic
can elected democratic representatives.
Maurice Connolly won by a good ma
jority in the Third district represented
by the late Speaker Henderson. and In
the Sixth Sanford Kirkpatrick defeated
the republican and progressive candi-
dates. Never before had Iowa had 50
many democrats in her delegation.
1.-The republicans naturally will take
advantage Of the present situation and
try to reclaim the Second district, ana
therein will come the fight. There ap-
pears to be no doubt that Judge Wade
could have the democratic nomination
and would probably win. but he has
declared that under no circumstances
will he run. But he has gone back to
iowa to direct the fight which will en-
