SURRENDERS TO SHERIFF.
Boy Who Eluded Hamilton County
Sheriff Gives Himself Up.

Special to Times-Republican.
Webster City, Nov. 2s.-"Will be in
Webster City tomorrow or next day."
So read telegram which Sheriff
Nelson Of this city received yesterday,
filed from the Illinois Central depot in
Council Bluffs and signed by Scott M.
Ellsworth. .
Ellsworth is the prisoner who es-
capped from Sheriff Nelson last week
lin Marshalltown. The sheriff was sus-
picious Of the telegram, but this noon
Ellsworth stepped off an Illinois Cen
trail train here hunted up the sheriff
and gave himself up.
Ellsworth was one Of a party of three
men charged with auto thievery. The
and were en- route back here when
Ellsworth escaped. The names Of the
other two young men implicated are
Sam Wolf and Nick WEIGH. 1t is
charged that they stole a big Chandler
six belonging to Peter Holt at Ellis
worth. The boys live near Logansport
and were picked up whens5they arrived
there. Holt accompanied the sheriff
back east to drive the car home and
the sheriff and his three prisoners rode
with him. The car was acting badly
and Ellsworth, being mechanic, did
the necessary tinkering. In Marshall
town he got out to- make some adjust
ments. It was cold and the sheriff per-
mitted him to put his hands in his
pockets when he got back into the car,
instead Of putting the handouts back
on. AS soon as the car started on,
Ellsworth slid out and his absence
was not noted for several minutes. He
made good his getaway.
Ellsworth, who Is bright young fell
low but 10 years of age. thought the
matter over and concluded 1t would be
best in the long run to give himself
up, and because Of his action the crime
of escaping from an officer will not be
charged against him. He Is now in jail
with his two pals.

Exclusive Of q few exhibitions booked
for Saturday, Dec. /, football sched-
ules for the season Of 1917 will be ex-
hausted tomorrow. The season just
closing, considering the handicaps un-
der which it was inaugurated, has been
surprisingly successful. Robbed OF the
glamor added in other years by tho
participation In the sport Of the big
three"-Harvard, Yale and Princeton
there has been less interest, perhaps,
in the east, and the call to national
service Of many Of the brightest stars
Of the game has taken from the sport
those who had been expected to fur
nish the sensational features.
At the inception Of the season it was
feared that the loss Of SO many stars
would decrease" interest in the game
and<possibly result in failure Of efforts
to continue the sport In war time. Such,
however, has not been the case, and
in many cases the loss Of stars has
had the reverse effect. Where in
dividuality has disappeared team work
has been developed and the machine
like eleven invariably is more effective

Light Teams Predominant.
A large majority Of the college and
university teams this year were light,
and many Of them composed OF COM
paratively green men. To the credit OF
the coaches it may be said. however,
that with the material at their disposal,
many formidable machines were de-
vclopcd. In the east Pittsburgh, WASH
lngton and Jefferson, Pennsylvania and
the Army and Navy have made credit
able showings, with Pittsburgh prob
ably the leading eleven.
In the Big Ten competition was

result Of the war. Ohio State. suffer-

MAN BURNED TO DEATH.
Body Found After Fire in Rooming
House at Cresco.


Cresco, Nov. 2S.-The old Arlington
hotel, used Of late for roomers was
destroyed by fire. Altho the building
burned slowly, the rooms were so
densely filled with smoke that very
little Of the contents was saved. 1t was
quite generally supposed that every
person in the building had been awak-
ened and was out in safety, but after
the fire had burned over an hour,
groans were heard in room on the
second floor In the north west corner
of the building. Art Converse and Fred
Burr both Of Cresco. entered the room
and found the PROSTATE form of Louis
F.. Markovetz so badly burned that the
overalls and shirt he wore had nearly
burned off him. He was taken to the
Kessel hospital but never regalned
consciousness and died carly this
morning. Accounts Of the reason for
his death vary. and there are some
suspicious things in connection with
the affair.

REJOICES
At AMERICAN ACTION

Paris, March 22.-"Hurrah for our
new allies" say L. Marcelin, a we'll
known politics. writer, in La Liberte
today. This is the note taken gener-
ally by the French press toward the
United States.
The news of the call of President
Wilson for special session of con-
gress and the military and naval prep
arations that are being made in that
country, occupy a dominant place in
the public mind. Every Frenchman
who has an American acquaintance
asks him when the United States is
coming into the war.
The Temps. in a sober review OF the
recent indignities Americans have suf-
fered at the hands of the Germans
says: Thus goes in perfect calm the
thoughtful evolution that has led the
United States from neutrality which
seemed her only possible course dur
ing two years, to the very threshold
Of a state Of war 1t is verify the
American conscience that has thought
and found its way. 1t is the American
conscience that has spoken in the
voice Of President Wilson. Never has
a more solemn verdict broken German
insolence."
The Temps alludes to the great aid
the entente allies would have were
the suggestion Of w. p. G. Harding
governor of the American federal re-
serve board, adopted regarding cred
its of the entente.

pcarCd to have their spirits broker.
Their attitude was one of absolute
submission to anything that might
happen. Many young children who
had seen nothing but German soldiers
in their lives, stared today in almost
stupid wonder at the British TOmmics
clad in khaki and wearing their steel
hats.
one of the greatest ordoals the peo-
pie said they had to endure was TO
stand by and see their homes broker,
up by the Germans as the soldiers
were leaving. In some instances the
French inhabitants who had been held
virtually as prisoners during the
German occupation had been segregat
ed in certain parts of the villages
while the work of destruction was
going on elsewhere. At Rony how
ever, il was stated and reiterated by
scores Of persons, that the inhabitants
of this village and of several other
villages had been gathered at Rouy 70
Le-PCtit in certain houses and told
to remain in them a certain number
of hours while the Germans got away.
While SO herded together tires de-
Clared, the Germans had sent 200
shells into the village, killing several
persons. The funerals which were in
progress in the village today lent col
or to the story. People in other viii
lagos also assert that they distinctly
heard this firing and thought that a
battle was in progress.
1t was pitiful to motor today
through villages which had been far
from the firing line and untouched by
any shells, and yet were lying in ab-
solute ruins. Active steps are being
taken by both the British and the
French to relieve the people in the
liberated zone. About the only per-
sons seen are old men, women and
children. Boys who had attained the
age of sixteen years or more since the
German occupation and men who
were considered over the military agu
session of the white flour issuing
by the French, were taken off by tho
Germans for work behind their lines.
Many of these French boys and old
men had been compelled to work in
the German trenches whore they said
they also met many Bclgians and
Russians. the latter, Of course, being
prisoners of war. It was asserted
that one of the reasons for the whole
sale deportation of BelEians was the
necessity for this labor in construct
ing the new positions to which the
Germans have fallen back, The Ger
mans wished to spare the soldiers
from this work and so employed these
unwilling civilians and prisoners.

the same story was repeated. There
are many other stories of hardships
being told, although mast of the inhahi-

well disciplined and kept strictly un-

ed, however. that within the past few
weeks the Germans had appropriated
some of the American relief stores to
their own use, even to the extent of
three -fourths of the supplies. 1t was
also said that the Germans took pos

NEW GOVERNMENT is
FORMALLY RECOGNIZED

Washington, March 22.-Formal
and full recognition by the United
States of the new government of Rus
sia was announced tonight at the state
department. The silence which has
been observed at the department con-
cerning the events in Russia was
broken when officials learned that the
news of Ambassador Francis official
welcome of the new regime had been
received in press dispatches.
1t now may be stated that on Tues
day the department received
long dispatch from Am bassador
Francis asking authority to recognize
formally the new governmnet. The
ambassador pointed out that the new
Russia was founded on the same prln-
ciples which had inspired the trainers
of the American republic, and that its
leaders stood for all that this country
held sacred. The revolution, he said.

order prevailed everywhere.
