BEGIN BIG TRIAL
IN GLENWOOD COURT

Glenwood, Dec. 21-Selection Of a
jury was completed for the trial of
Francisco Guidice, an Italian, who is
accused Of the murder of F. Jones,
foreman in the railroad shops at
Council Bluffs. The murder occurred
early in 1914. Guilice was convicted
and the supreme court granted new
trial of the case on a technical error.
The state charged that the Italian
killed Jones as revenge because the
latter discharged him. He was found
along the path which he had taken to
go to his home with his throat cut
Since the last trial the state has lost
several of it's important witnesses,
two Of whom are said to be in the
italian army.

cheap land that is going to become
more valuable Iowa has little or no
cheap land left.
And yet the fact remains that the
last government census showed that
Iowa led all the other states in the
increased value Of farm property. The
so-called "boom lands" are all west
of the Mississippi and with possibly
two exceptions, are all larger in area
than Iowa Nevertheless Iowa farms
increased in value faster than any OF
the others.
Iowa's increased farm values are
not built on a belief that at some fu-
:eIouu qlIoM 40 II!M pueI qua GUN eInl
Iowa land is increasing in value faster
than the others because Iowa land is
more productive than the others. That
is the reason Iowa leads them all.

SESSION MAY
BE EXTENDED
REPORTS IN CIRCULATION AT
CHARLESTON THAT lEcls-
LATURE WILL REMAIN
In Session by Proclamation Of Govern
or All important Measures
Are Not Acted Upon.
(7Y w. r. KEYsER.)
(Staf Correspondent.)

CHARLESTON. w. Va, Feb. Sit
developed today that the present ses-
sion OF the legislature may be extend
ed into an extraordinary session. Re
ports were in circulation that before
the legislature adjourns, unless all i'm.
portant measures are acted upon, the
Governor will issue a proclamation ex.
tending the session fifteen days, II
necessary.
In reply to a question as to the
foundation for such a report, IL was
stated tonight that the Governor pro-
poses to have all important measures
acted upon before the legislature ad-
journs, and IL this Is not accomplished
during the regular session. he will
prolong the session until the IegisIa,
tors are placed on record as to their
position on the various proposed laws.
Session Ends February &c.
The regular session is scheduled to
end February 26. Under the rules
adopted at the beginning OF the pres
ent session. no matters except those
OF an emergency nature and appropri-
alton bills can be considered after the
fortieth day. This leaves but ten work
Ing days IN which to accomplish a
vast amount OF work. and many legis-
lators are OF the opinion that IT Will
be impossible TO clear the calendars
in the allotted time.
Undoubtedly one OF the most i'm
portant problems facing the Legisla-
ture Is that of raising additional rev.
enue. AS yet. only one revenue meas
ure has been introduced-that offered
yesterday by Senator Carter. proposing
license tax on timber. coal. oil ana
gas holdings in excess OF 5000 acres.
The Governor is expected to deliver
his special message on finances with
In the next day 0r two and II probably
will be followed by the Introduction
