the organization stood facing actual
peril; and its one possible chance Of
salvation lay In the fact that no ones
face was known to his neighbor. He,
vroon, and the boss alone knew who
and what each man was. But the
plans, the ramincations Of the organ
ization might become public property:
and that would mean an end to an
exceedingly profitable business.
The daughter Of Hargreave rode
horseback early every morning. She
sought the country road. She was In

WATERLOO TO GET
STATE TRADE SCHOOL

Waterloo, Dec. 17.-Arrangementa
are being completed here this week
for the removal by the end Of the pres
ent month Of the painters and decor
ators' trade school from the Iowa
State college at Ames to this city. Wa.
terloo henceforth will be the perma-
nent home of an institution believed
to be the only one Of its kind main
tanned at state expense.
Advance registration for the princi-
pal course, which will begin on Jan.
uary 8, and close four weeks later,
has already reached large proportions
and the indications are that there
will be heavy enrolment. John w.
Luthe of Cleveland, Ohio, is to have
charge of instruction in the new Wa
terloo trade school. It is planned to
have series of public lectures which
will be given two evenings week
during the course, which is to extend
over a period of four months.
The school was opened at the Iowa
college three years ago upon the sug-
gestion of F. M Michael of Waterloo,
of the International executive commit
tee of the Master House Painters and
Decorators association of the United
States and Canada This year it was
decided that the school should be
moved to Waterloo on account Of bet
ter facilities for taking care of the
students. The state pays all expenses
of instruction and lecturing and the
only expense to the student is the cost
of materials used in the course.

Stock Market

New York, Dec. 17.-Mercantile Ma

feature of q dull first hour on the stock
market today, advancing points from
its opening price of 70, with Steel next
in activity. Petroleums and war and
semi-war shares trailed along In the
regular order, while Erie was the most
prominent railway issue, showing
some heaviness with Canadian Pacific.
General Motors broke 10 to 10 points
between sales to 475 an overnight loss
of IS points and SO under its recent
record price. Bethlehem Steel lost II at
4s5. Trading died to slender proportions
before noon. Large lots of Anglo-French
fiyes were offered at s4K. Bonds were
heavy.
The market manifested decided
tendency at today's opening to make up
some ground lost in yesterdays late
selling movement, although prices were
somewhat irregular. Baldwin Locomo-
tive rose 8 to 116 and Studebaker,
Crucible Steel. Texas Co. and Mexican
Petroleum were higher by to points.

WASHINGTON MAY
GET CANNING PLANT

Washington, Dec. 17.-At mass
meeting of the business men Of Wash
ington, J. L. Boyce, representing the
Hastings Manufacturing Co., Of Iowa
City, outlined plan whereby a can
ming factory may be installed here
during 1916. J. L. Brookhart acted
as chairman of the meeting, and ].
B. Grail as secretary.
The proposition of Mr.. Boyce, as
presented to the business men and
farmers assembled, is to the effect
that his company will erect in Wash
ington a canning factory, completely
equipped, and will turn this factory
over to the townspeople ready for
operation July 1, 1916. for the sum
of $27,5OO. No action was taken on
the proposition at the meeting but it,
is probable that a committee willI
appointed from among the members
of the Commercial club and the Bust
ness Mems association, who are act
ing jointly in the matter, to investi.
gate and report back at meeting to
be held in the near future.
The Hastings Manufacturing Co. Of
Iowa City is planning the erection OF
five similar factories throughout the
state of Iowa.

FIND STEEL BOMB
IN BURLINGTON BIN

Burlington, Dec II. steel bomb
of sufficient size to cause wholesale
destruction, and which undoubtedly
would have cost a number of Burling-
ton citizens lives had it not been dis
covered, was found in coal bin at the
Hawkeye Ice Co.'s coal bin.
The death dealing instrument, which
is encased in steel, and is about FIVE
inches in length, is now in possession
of Chief Willard at the police station,
officer Jerry Despair having gone to
the scene of the discovery yesterday
morning, when the department was no
titled of the finding of the bomb
The bomb is small, but heavy. It
shows signs Of having been plugged
at either end, and is said to be of the
sort that explodes when exposed to
heat. Who the vicious one is who de.
posted it in the coal, naturally Is not
known, and there is but one chance
in million Of finding out. There can
be little doubt as to the dastardly in
tent of the one who put the bomb in
the coal, and the chances are that
many people never would have noticed
the weapon.

WARDEN THINKS
men TRUSTWORTHY.
SANDERS BELIEVES THAT TWEEN.
TY-FIvE PER CENT WOULD
NOT TRY ESCAPE.

Des Moines, Dec. II. - Twenty-Five
per cent of the prisoners at Fort Mad.
ison may be placed outside the prison
walls ION their honor" and none will
escape, Warden j. G. Sanders OF the
state penitentiary declared before the
executives of state institutions at their
quarterly conference here.
The twenty-five per cent to which
the warden referred includes fourteen
men sentenced for life and az many
more that have been denied paroles
by the board.
The warden vigorously defended the
honor system. s"If all our best men
and things are Influenced by that sub.
tie touch we call honor" he said, why
not apply It to the dishonored, dis
graced, disowned and disappointed"
Escapes? We have them Of course
But what Of that? II man runs
away and makes good he Is doing what
we expect Of him after we parole him
If he runs away and geese wrong he
will be apprehended. He will be the
greater loser and society will be pro
tected for longer period than 1t would
have been If he had obeyed all the
printed rules Of the institution"

Chicago, Dec. 17.-Franklin New
hall, 90 years old, long known through,
out the middle west as the apple
king" died early today at his home in
Glencoe, northern suburb of Chicago
Mr.. Newhall owned extensive apple
orchards near his home and had 5000
acres of cherry and apple orchards on
Manitou island, Michigan. His hold
ings were estimated to be worth $3.50,
600. Last winter one of his sons petit.
toned the courts to appoint conser
vator for the aged man. Mr.. New
hall at the hearing displayed such a
vigorous mind that the petition was
denied. He was born in 1923 at Con.
way, Mass, the birthplace of the late
Marshall Field.

Grain Review

Chicago, Dec. 17.-Settlement Of the
Belt line railway strike had bearish
effect today on wheat. At first, how
ever the market took an upward course
owing to higher quotations at Liver
pool and on account Of the switchmen's
controversy with other roads here being
still a peril to shorts dependent on lib
eral receipts. Opinion gradually gained
ground nevertheless that the remaining
| labor difficulty would be overcome
After opening " to &c higher, with
December at $11SA to II and May at
$1.19A, the market made some further
upturns and then sagged below yester-
days finish.
Subsequently, talk Of export buying
led to a rally. It was said, too, that all
Of the wheat Communicated in Canada
was now on the Atlantic or ready for
ocean shipment, but the United States
government crop report on winter
wheat was not so bullish as expected,
and the market later headed down
grade. The close was unsettled Y to
kc net lower, with December at
s11sh and May at s1.17A Oils.
Heavcy selling to realize profits
weakened the corn market. The I'M
loading began when the May option
touched at the outset a new high price
record for this season. The opening,
which ranged from shade or TO n
sc advance. was followed by materl-
al setback all around.
The weakness of wheat and the
slowness of eastern demand counted
against the bulls Prices closed steady
at y to 11sc net decline.
Oats were governed by corn, but
were narrow and trade
light.
Provisions declined in sympathy with
lower prices on hogs. The market was
very dull, especially as to pork.
