Filing o. Weeks, the Eagle Grove
aviator, had another narrow escape
while making a recent flight. The
piston rod in the engine broke when
he was about mile in the air and
soon after the propeller also broke
off and fell to the ground. Weeks
guided the machine to earth and as
he landed in plowed field the aero

was pulled out from under the
wreckage and outside of having the
wind knocked out of him was unin-

Des Moines, June 6.-The vote on
woman suffrage is very close and
both sides claim the victory.
w. L. Harding was nominated for
governor by the republicans, as in
dicated by the first 22S precincts re-
ceived.
1t is apparent from the returns in
the precincts outside of Polk that if
the ratio of the vote there polled by
the candidates keeps up in the 2,300
precincts, Harding will have forty
three per cent, and Allen and Cosson
about twenty-five per cent each.
Friends OF the suffrage movement
declare that the amendment has
been adopted by a handsome major
ity.
The vote on woman suffrage was
Surprisingly small. The extra bal
lot helped to confuse the voters. In
Des Moines there were three ''yel-
low" ballots, and after the voters
wrestled with the numberless candi-
dates on the machines they were in
no mood to spend much time mark
| ing the paper ballots up against the
walls and on each others backs. Be-
sides the three yellow ballots there
Were lists of delegates to vote for.
1t is believed by the politicians
that w. S. Allen was renominated
for secretary of state over r. A. Has
|selquist, that the state treasurership
and attorney generalship will have
to be settled in the convention, and

AN DLIInATUM FOR THE:
NOMINATION OF ROOSEVELT

1t is matter of doubt whether the
"Old Guard" will accept the speech
as such a statement. New York
delegates say that General Wood
could be given the Republican nom
nation. Members of the "Old Guard"
are attempting to placate the Pro-
gressives during the convention
without proposing Roosevelt as a
candidate.

ECHOES OF GREAT BATTLE

LONDON, June 14 - Vice-Admiral Beatty who led the cruiser squadron in the engagement with the Germans off the coast of Jutand is quoted saying that the diff cuIty of naming some of the German ships lost was due to mist which prevailed at the time. It is fully admitted that the Marlborough was struck by
 torpedo from submarine but stated that she now being repaired at home port Rear Admiral Hood who was lost was married to an American who as formerly Miss Nicholson. From his place in the house of commons yesterday, Winston Churchill formerly first lord of the admiralty who is at home from the front repeated the statement that though the German story of the bat tie is true it would not affect the relative strength of the two navies He also stated again that the Germans did not show any seventeen inch guns which they were credit ed with and were able to spring of the surprises an ticipated

ARRESTED FOR
 SEATTLE THEFT
POLICEMEN SUSPENDED ON SUSPICION OF TAKING
 LIQUOR AWAY.

SEATTLE, June l4-Develop- ments of the sweeping investigation instituted by Chief of Police Becking- ham to determine the responsibility for the disappearance of large quanti- ties of whiskey, beer and other liquors from the EVi3ence room in the olo city hall building have resulted in one arrest and two suspensions from the police force.
 William Kerry, night engineer in the public safety building, is under arrest on an open charge following Becldngham's inquiry into alleged bootlegging by city employees about the building. It is suspected that some of the policemen who were most energetic in seizing liquor from illicit sellers are now guilty of selling the result of their raids.
