State Agents Do Effective Work in
Stopping Flow Of Booze to State.

Council Bluffs, July THE effective
"heckling' to which Attorney General
Havner was subjected by the county
attorneys of Iowa, when he appeared
before them at their annual conven-
ton here on. Tuesday, has borne ex-
cellent fruit. The attorney general has
no further attempt will be made to
enforce the Iowa blue laws.
In a communication received here
yesterday, the attorney general advises
the county attorneys of Iowa that
there will be no more interference by
his office with the commercial BUSH
ness Of the state, and that cigars and
other stuff may be sold on Sunday
hereafter in the good old way.
He says this decision was due to the
fact that the county attorneys in their
convention authorized President Swan
son, of Council Bluffs, to appoint a
committee Of three members to go be-
fore the legislature at it's next session
and urge the repeal Of the obnoxious
laws. This, he asserts is what he de-
voutly wishes to be brought about, al
tho he failed to convey this impression
in his talk to the Sunday school con-
vention here a few days ago.
In accordance with the orders, Chief
of Police Wen Saturday notified all of
the local cigar dealers that there would
be no interference with their business
Sunday. The same order was given to
milk depots, ice cream parlors and dis
pensers Of soft drinks. Pool halls,
however will not be permitted to re-
open at the present time.

Giuseppe vulcano Admits Attack on
Ernesto cargioli, Claiming He Fired
at Bunkmate Who Was About to
Kick Him-Traii Followed by Dogs
From Grundy Center to Robertson.

Grundy Center, July at will take
few days time yet to tell whether
we had murder or just a near muir
der committed here Saturday night.
Two Italians, Ernesto Cargioli and
Giuseppe Vulcano, were employed as
finiSherS on the concrete base work
on the paving being done here. Vul-
cano got mad at Cargioli during their
work on the street on Saturday and
quit work. The men roomed together
in shack. near the Rock Island de-
pot After supper, Saturday evening,
Cargioii cleaned up and went up town
to buy some groceries. At II o'clock
he returned to the shack with his
groceries and had a few words with
Vulcano and laid the groceries on the
table and as he did so, Vulcano shot
him In the back and then ran away.
Cargioli managed TO drag himself part
way to the depot where he was found
and taken to the depot and from there
to DR.. Carpenters hospital where his
wounds were dressed. Sunday morning
an operation was performed. The bull
let entered his back and came on thro
his bladder. He is losing much blood
and is very weak and time only VIII
tell whether he can survive his wounds.
vulcano Immediately after doing the
shooting fled and went west up the
railroad track Sheriff Bovkes was
called and telephoned to Waterloo for
the hounds. They were brought over
and put on the trail and before noon
Sunday, Vulcano was tracked to Rob-
ertson, in Hardin county, where he was
captured and placed in jail here. He
had thrown the gun away on his trav-
els and II has not yet been recovered.
vulcano admits doing the shooting
and says he did it because Cargfoli
was about to kick him. He makes No
further excuse for the shooting. II
Cargioli should die as result of the
shooting. Vulcano will be prosecuted
for murder; if Cargioli should live,
vulcano will then be prosecuted for as
sault with intent to commit murder.
This is the first trouble that has &C.
Cured with this Job of paving altho
there are many negroes and many for
eigners on the Job. ..

she il fresh, and second. because she
undoubtedly will profit by the mis-
takes Of the nations who have been
fighting since August, 1914" Lord
Northcliffe said. What the war needs
more than anything else is brains and
speed.
Il trust the United States will not
make the censorship blunder England
