TOM TAGGART IS
NOT VERY NOISY
Has Little to Say Of His Indictment
on Charges Of Conspiracy to
Corrupt Election

limited Press Leased sWire Service1
& INDIANAPOLIS, IND, June 3D.
Thomas Taggart, democratic national
committeeman and others OF the 12S
politicians indicted yesterday by the
Marion county grand Jury, refused to-
day to be deeply concerned over the
charge that they had conspired to
commit election frauds.
At the city hail. where practically
every office contributed its quota of
indicted men, including Mayor Joseph
E. Bell there was little more Cos
sip than usual, but the city's work
was uninterrupted.
At police headquarters which had
contributed its chief, Samuel v. Per-
rott, two lieutenants and a. dozen pa
trolmen, all was peaceful.
Efforts OF the indicted men were
confined largely to passing out the
word that 4 sinister influence" was
at work against them. They pointed
out that the recent federal grand
jury which returned the Wholesale in
dictment in Terre Haute election
frauds, also considered evidence pre-
pared by opponents of the present In
dianapolis democratic administration,
but returned no indictments. Thos.
Taggart stayed close to his hotel. His
only statement was he did not care to
try his case in the ne yspapers. He
added that since he had given bond,
he had been trying without success to
find out with what crime he was
charged. II shall be tried along with
the rest of the boys. and I suppose

Those Who VIII BE Affected BY Il

over Ways and Means at
Ces Moines
MooRHEAD IS BAcKER
keokuk,s Mayor Was One Of Men
who Suggested Holding Such
Meeting Burlington Men
Have Plan

The meeting which Is being held in
Des Moincs today by the officials of
cities affected by the new dry legfsla-
tion was called through the efforts of
Mayor Moorhead The Burlington Ca
zettc has the following to say about
the Keokuk mayors connection with
TIE meeting, and the purpose Of the
meeting:
The session was called at the insti-
CATION of Mayor Moorhead of Keokuk,
and will be conducted under the aus
p:ces of the League of Iowa Munich
palities.
Both the representatives from this
city have several things they will
bring before the convention, and
there is little doubt but that some
thing will develop that will work the
problem in manner designed to give
satisfaction In the majority of the
cases The deficit caused Is large
one. and the city officials have been
puzzled for some time as to the bet
ter way Of meeting It.
The League of Iowa Municipalities
has made the issue one that concerns
th., organization and has taken up the
problem of solving it for the cities.
The league is composed Of the officials
Of the various towns and cities in lows
and includes some of the most bril-
liant men in the state. These men
have been working on the problem for
some time and there is reason to be-
l:eve that things will he brought to a
successful issue at the meeting to-
morrow.
The league has asked that every city
be represented at the meeting at Des
Moines and the local city council
chose Mr. Cross and City Solicitor
Poor as the official delegation from
burlington. Both these gentlemen
have been carefully studying the prob
lens and will be prepared to take
their part in whatever debate or issue
is brought up. The session will last
only one day, but that should be sufi.
cient time for the submitting Of the
plans.
The officers OF the league have been
the recipients OF many communica-
tions in regards to the things that will
be discussed and have prepared them
in a manner so that the salient feat
ures of all Of them may be combined
into one. It is likely that the system
proposed by the league will be the
one adopted.

BOY SCOUT NOTES
lEdited BY q. l. Allins.l

Well fellows. the big show Is over,
but not forgotten. In fact memories
Of that field meet will last as long as
the youngest scout attending lives to
tell the tale. Many new friendships
were made and have already seen
several letters that Keokuk scouts
have received from new friends they
met at the conference. Even that
alone would make the effort worth
while and know of other benefits de-
rived from this meet that will show
decided results within the next years;
for instance, a determination on the
part of many scouts to spend more
time and energy on regular scout work
and advance steadily to higher rank
as first class, life star or eagle scout.
Such a determination is very COM
mendable and / believe that by this
time next year there will be lot of
fine first class scouts and some life
scouts in Keokuk and neighboring
towns as result of this conference
Even though the weather was not
at all to our liking. there was no evil
dences of cold feet or dampened en-
thusiasm at the banquet Say wasn't
that great? There were $50 there all
eating together at one time and the
yells that were conducted and the
songs that were sung and the speeches
that were made. 1t was an occasion
every scout will long remember As
we sat there looking over the long
tables and observing the genial good
will OF that great assembly of scouts,
Rev. McAllister remarked to me, by
George, Alling, this is great sight,
isn't it," and l agreed with him.
Two Heroes Here.
I mentioned the fact that we had
life saver, hero, at the banquet
with us, Connell Combs of Memphis
Mo. I afterward learned that we had
two there that night. The other is
Donald Parr of Oskaloosa who saved
boy from drowning some while ago
and was able to do so only because
of the training of the Boy Scout
movement which he had recently
learned. He had to break ,the death
grip, tow the boy to shore and give
artificial respiration to the boy after
he got him out, all of which he learned
in his regular scout work.

ing all she had $500, to Smith, In
the event OF her death. That after
noon the bride" and her husband
went for walk. When they return
ed the girl told the landlady she
wished for q bath. The landlady drew
the water and then went downstaire.
Smith entered the kitchen, after the
landlady had heard the front door
slam.
This time Smith fooled the land
lady with tomatoes, as he had fooled
another landlady, on a similar occa-
sion. with eggs.
i've just been down to the mar
ket to get some tomatoes for my wife.
Now I'm going to run upstairs to see
how see is getting along.
But had he been to market? Or had
he been upstairs, where the woman
who had made her will that day, was
dead or dying in q bathtub?
Halfway up the stairs, the landlady
heard him shout his wife's name
Then she hee I'd him cry my God!
She doesn't answer" Two other wo.
men had died in bathtubs. in Smiths
experience, and it Is little wonder
that he yelled. He ran upstairs. He
struck a match. Here she is IN the
tub" he cried. Come up and help
me-"
Again the unlocked bathroom door
Smiths women never turned the key
in the bathroom. A boarder rushed
up. There was Smith, holding the
head, of the nude, dead woman. II
was the Burnham death, all over
again.
