Republicans Renew Effort to Bring
"Moose" Back to the Fold.

New York, Jan. 15.-The degre of
recognition to be given the Progress
siVes probably will be discussed this
afternoon at the meeting of the eXecu-
tive committee of the Republican COM
mittee. Six Progressives were mem
bers of the Republican committee dur
ing the late presidential campaign and
if any members of that party receive
places in the executive committee, it
is expected that they will be chosen
from the six.

gressives with u.s." Committeeman
Alvah H. Martin said. Il favor any

party in the best possible position for
the presidential fight of 1920.

STUCKEY GOES FREE
Wayward Williamsburg Minister Civ
en- Parole by Capper.

Rev. Wallace NJ. Stuckey, Maynard
Williamsburg minister, is a free man.
The Reverend Stuckey has served but
little actual time in the state peni-
Tertiary since his conviction for the
abduction of a pretty 17-year-old SUM-
day school girl in 1909. Now he has
a parole signed by Governor Capper.
ed the Williamsburg minister deserted
his family to elope with a pretty girl
in his church flock. He was convict
ed, but fled to Cuba while his case
was pending in the supreme court. In
Cuba he married a native girl with
several children. Then he returned
to the states and was committed to
the penitentiary.
The minister has spent very little
time behind prison walls Sometimes
Rev. Stuckey's wife was sick. Some
times the preacher himself felt i'll
disposed. So he was given temporary
paroles. One of the reasons for the
ousting of j. d. Botkin as prison war
den was the kindness shown Rev.
Stuckey. Then came J. K. Codding
who was even more kind to Stuckey
than Botkin.
In the last year Stuckey has spent
very little time in the state peniten-
tiary. He has lived in Kansas City
much of the time and to a large ex-
tent has enjoyed almost as MANY lib
critics and privileges as a citizen. Once
the stork visited Stuckey's home and
he went to Mrs. Stuckey's bedside for
several weeks. Another time Mrs.
Stuckey was sick and the preacher
was released on his own recognizance
to be with his wife
Stuckey was serving a minimum
sentence of five years. The minimum
did not expire until 1919.

ELECTION NEWS--RUSH!
Belated Returns From Winterbound
Alaska Precinct just In.

Seward, Alaska, Jan. 15.-Official
figures of the November election in
Bristol Bay precincts, the most remote
in Alaska, reported here today in d
registered mail pouch on the steam
ship Dora, addressed to the clerk of
the United States district court at
Valdez 1t will be five days before
the Dora arrives at Valdez with these
returns which will decide whether
James Wickersham, Republican, or
Charles Sulzer, Democrat, has been
elected delegate to congress.
At the time of the election ice had
closed Bristol bay. The returns were
taken overland with the first winter
mail by an Eskimo carrier from there
to Cold Bay, where the Dora called
early this month. Official returns
from all precincts except those from
Bristol Bay gave Wickersham a lead
of seven votes. In one of the pre-
cincts from which returns have been
received a contest had been filed. If
this contest should be decided against
him his present lead will be reduced
to two votes.
The Dora carried the first news of
President Wilson re-electio to the
residents CT Cold Bay.

The quietness with which the people
heard the long program is a compli-

END MEX. PEACE FLIER
Dissolution of Commission Marks Be-
ginning of New U. S. Policy.

New York, Jan. 15.-Dissolution of
the Americana Mexican peace commits
sion, slated here today, will mark the
Inauguration of a new policy toward
Mexico. This new policy includes
withdrawal of General Pershing's CO.
lumn from Mexico; return of militia
troops from the border; and dispatch
of Ambassador Fletcher to his Mex
leo City post.
Hereafter the administration hopes
to accomplish its purposes by direct
dealings with General Carranza thru
the ambassador.
Intervention is by no means under
consideration now, tho the commits
sion sessions have taught the govern
ment that Mexican affairs are in de-
plorable shape and that the situation
will require constant watching.
4 Members of the commission, how
ever, hope and believe that Carranza
will manifest his ability to keep the
government together and to put it on
the road to a firmer status.
The commission has been meeting
at different times and places since
September 4, 1916, and the members
admit that indirect negotiations have
failed to settle the difficulties.
