HOLDING HIGDON
IN JAIL ON CASE
Accepts Arrest.
Continued From Page ~


Officer Fielder met Higdon on the
street and they began talking abou,
the Munley affair. Higdon asked the
policeman if they had caught anyone
in connection with it yet. Fielder then
told him that they were suspectine
him. Higdon laughed and said that
he had heard it was a Higdon they
were watching but he did not suppose
1t was he, and with that walked along
with the policeman to the jail.
He will be held there awaiting
further developments in the case.
Goods are Packed.
An examination made by the sher
if of the premises on Bardel street
where Higdon has been living. showed
that most of the goods in the house
had been packed, apparently as a
preparation for moving from the city
Nearly all the chairs and tables
were wrapped In cloth and packing
materials and there were a number OF
boxes and trunks filed and standing
ready to be moved.
There was no one about the house
and neighbors said that Mrs. Higden
had gone away Tuesday night
Relatives uniformed.
w. N. Brisendine. 3O5 North Madi-
son avenue, who Is an uncle by mar
rage to Mr.. Higdon called at the jail
this afternoon to see the man but
was denied this privilege by the sh "
if who is allowing no one to see his
charge.
Mr.. Brisendine said that he did not
know until today that Mrs. Higdon
had gone away from the city and that
he supposed she had gone to Des
Moines where her mother lives. He
also said that he was not aware of
the fact that the Higdons had their
goods packed nor that they were plan
ming upon leaving Ottumwa.
Was Steady Worker.
With the exception of two or three
times when he became intoxicated
Mr.. Higdon was steady worker &C
cording to Dan Shea, his employer for
three years. Mr.. Shea talked to the
sheriff today about the case and said
that three or four days ago he dis
charged Higdon because he decided he
could get along without him at this
time of the year.
Mr.. Munley's attending physicians,
when they called upon him this morn
ing at the hospital, were pleased to
find him in such good condition. He
is far from being out Of danger but he
appeared so much brighter than had
been expected that they feel hopeful
for his recovery.

At least one Of the European neu-
trails here already has sent dispatch
to his home government asking to be
authorized to assure President Wilson
of the support of his government in
sending some expression to the en-.
tente allies designed to influence them
to give consideration to the offer to
discuss peace. There are indications
that some Of the other neutrals may
follow suit.
The German embassy said they had
no new advices on the situation and
the Turkish and Bulgarian representa-
tives were entirely without any dis
patches from home.
Neutrals Are Busy.
The Spanish ambassador Mr.. Riano
was an early caller at the state depart.
ment and conferred with Secretary
lansing. He said he had advices
from Madrid that his government al
SO had received the German note for
transmission to those entente coun-
tries where it represents the central
powers displomatically and that the
note delivered there was the same as
that cabled to the United States.
The Swiss minister Dr.. Ritter, also
called on Secretary Lansing. His Wis
it, coupled with the fact that one
other neutral is moving to support the
president in any effort to secure the
consideration Of peace, led to the be.
lief that some light on the attitude of
the United States toward such gen.
eral movement by neutrals was at
least being sounded out.

Other leading staples. too. all showed gains corn IT to 7-Sc: oats 3-4 to l Is and provisions finished to 5-Sc. Dis appearance of anxiety over the chance that the hour bill might be defeated was evident from the outset Indeed. cash premiums paid by exporters were the highest of any time this season.
 Notice of general nullifcation of railway embargOes seemed to be chiefly responsible for the activity cf foreigners. Although at intervals dur ing the day realizing by holders was on liberal scale the ensuing down turns in values proved brief.
 Corn like wheat showed abroad gen. eral demand
 Spectators and packers were active buyers of provisions. Optimism in re- gard to the railroad situation acted as more than an offset for a decline which took place in the hog market.
