NEW YORW, Jan. S.-Using their

the fifteenth annual automobile show

commercial and Industrial lines with

In the Public Eye.

Creston Advertiser: Governor
Clarke Indignantly denies the story
published in a Des Moines paper to
the effect that he has planned to run
for a third term and then be can
didate for the senate. He says that
his ambition now is to give the people
of Iowa the service they are entitled
to and he is not planning now to Sc
cure any other office. Governor
Clarke's denial will be accepted as
absolute truth. His job is being gov
ernor for the term for which he was
e.ected, but while he is not planning
now to keep himself in Office he is
rendering service that makes it inn
possible to dismiss him in any reckon
ing of the politics OF the state.

Soldier Who Surrendered Hero Broke
jail at Memphis, His Home
Town-Reached Here
Yesterday.
HIS THIRD ENLISTMENT
Tells Local Police He Served Six
Years In PhiIippines-Deserted
From Fort Logan,
Denver, Colo.

Because he didn't want to be sent
back to the army from his home town.
Freq G. Walker of Memphis, Mo-, con-
fessed deserter, broke out Of the Gala
boose at that place and fed to this
CITY after he had been arrested by
Marshal Danna. Walker reached Keo-
xxx yesterday. He secured job IN
a restaurant on the river front imme-
diately after his arrival, but instead
Of going to work he surrendered him
self to Oficer LeFeber who placed
him under arrest.
Walker is being held here by Chief
of Police Kenney until instructions
can be received from the military
post at Des Moines as to his DISPOSE
ton.
According to the story told the local
police by Walker he had served six
years in the army before his third
and last enlistment, in October last.
He was stationed at Fort Logan, Den
yer, Colo. He deserted from this place
a month after his enlistment because
he did not like his associates there.
He left this post in November. Three
days ago he reached Memphis, where
his mother is now living.
Broke Down the Door.
It was while he was shaking hands
with number Of his old friends at
Memphis that he was placed under
arrest by the marshal of that city.
Shortly after he had been locked up
he decided he did not want to be sent
back to the army from his old home
town. 1t was easy for him to break
down the door in the cell in which he
was being held temporarily. After
his escape had been discovered the
marshal and deputy sheriff went in
pursuit, but were unable to find him
Walker said today that he first en-
listed in the army at Des Moines II
1898. He was sent to the Philippines
where he served the three years OF
his term Of enlistment. When his first
term had expired he enlisted for three
years more and served this time also
in the Philippines He last enlisted
in October at Arkansas City, Kansas
Walker is a grandson OF G. r
Combs of Memphis, and has many
relatives in the state.

Grain Review.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.i
CHICAGO, Jan. S.-Wheat set still
another new high price mark today.
Big cash sales and big export demands
with small buyers present in large
numbers jumped the opening prices
from lis to LIS over yesterdays close.
Nervousness caused slight recessions.
Then came gains that steadily shot
the prices still higher. AT one time
May wheat was quoted at 14Oss. A
slight downward trend later was fol-
lowed by another gain until May fr-
lures reached 14oA and July options
126A, where they futtered back and
forth a fraction. Corn was affected by
the gains in wheat. The opening was
UP from u to ". Later the prices
we're up from u to u over the open
ing.
Oats also tended to higher levels.
Provisions were firm and slightly
lower.

CORNELL WILL NOT LET
YALE HAVE Al SHARPE
ANY Attempt to Get Foot Ball
Coach Away From Ithaca Will
Meet Strong Opposition.

ITHACA, n. Y. December 6.-Should
Yale ask Cornell to release DR.. AL
Sharpe from his contract to coach Cor
nell teams, which has four more years
to run, the request would not be grant
ed, judging by the present state Of mind
Of the men in charge of foot ball at
Ithaca. A careful sounding of senti-
point 1t has taken Cornell fifteen
years to work out her foot ball saliva
ton, and any attempt to disrupt the
system would meet with strong oppo-
sition. 1t is not believed here that
the contingency will arise.
The foot ball team will elect a cap
tain next week at banquet to be
given in its honor by the athletic asso-
citation. All of the &c" men will take
part in the election. The discussion of
SO far has not developed
any great favorites. although a num-
Der Of men are mentioned for the hon
or. If Cornell elects a man who will
be q senior next year, and that prob
ably will be done, the choice will lie
between Mueller, fullback; Anderson,
right guard; Tilley, guard and tackle,
and Eckley, right end. Tilley and An
derson have played for two years.
Eckley and Mueller were subs last
year, and played varsity foot ball for
the first time this year. The other
fall include Shiverick, Gillies and Mil

probable that any of these three will
