Another Chain in String Of Evidence
Against Fort Madison Couple
Uncovered by
Police.
MAY ASK
Attorneys for Defense Said to Be Plan
ming to Ask for More Time If
Couple Are
Indicted.

FORT MADISON, Mar. 16.-An
other link was added to the chain OF
evidence in the case against Mr.. and
Mrs. OrvilIe Reynolds, held in the
county jail here on the charge OF
numbering their three weeks old
child. when Chief OF Police c. j.
Kennel after a thorough search
found the box in which the body or
the infant was encased after death,
in the river here.
The police stated that the repors
that Mrs. J.. L. Meyer knew that the
/, child was placed in a box after death,
a untrue. As far as they knew she
had no knowledge of the disposition
OF the child except the supposition
possessed by others. The police, how
was placed in a box and In the river
as the clothing on the body was wet
but there were no deposits of sand or
| other articles on the clothing.
The box Is now at the police head
/ quarters where it has been added to
the other exhibits that will be used
, in the trial here.
If the plans Of the attorneys for
the defense to ask a continuance OF
| the cases against Reynolds n his
young wife until the September term
OF court If the grand jury indicts them,
are carried out, it will mean that the
couple will be forced to spend the
| entire period in the county jail here.
Murder is an unbailable offense
and defendants in a case with that
: charge against them are accorded
their liberty only hen the courts
decree is that the charge is without
foundation.
Both Reynolds and his wife are al
ready chatting under the confinement
in the county Jail here and their i'm
prisonment is having much effect Oh
them. Both are maintaining their 81
lence, however, and are making but
little complaint.
Inquiry at the plant where Reynolds
was employed during his two months
Of residence in Fort Madison, proved
that the man was an industrious
worker but as the work in which he
was engaged was unlike that of farm
! work n new to him, he easily be-
came dissatisfied.
Upon his arrival here On January
3, he obtained employment in the ice
cutting operations of Einspanjer Sons
company near East Fort Madison. He
later went to work for the Fort Mad
ison Ice company at Green Bay. When
that job was complete he secured EN-
lployment at the Fort Madison But
ton company and left his job there to
work at the Curtis Brothers Handle
/, company, where he quit his Job the
day before the death of the child,
with the evident intention of return
ing to Cameron to work on the farm.

Of Leon Trotsky, who has deserted
the permanent peace faction of the
BOlsheviki to become commissary Of
war. If the indications are right that

strengthened by the action Of the
Observation-Disclosures. 1t Is inevitable
that a coalition government be form
ed in Russia before long. eliminating
much that is proving unfruitful in the
Bolsheviki program. Men of greater
activity and clearer vision of the su.
preme danger to Russia from German
Imperialism are coming to the from.
The refusal Of the social revolution
lists to cooperate further with the
Bolshevid is indicative of this
change.
Van Hindenburg has been shrewd
enough to realize what is in the air.
That is why he is now discouraging
any hope among the German people
that a separate peace with Russia
will permit the evacuation Of the
Russian front by the German forces
stationed there. His excuse that the
troops will be needed to protect the
districts separated from Russia is
verbal camouflage. What Hindenburg
means is that the eastern situation is
becoming increasingly complex and
is full of new dangers to Germany.

NEW YORK, Mar. 16.-The first
serious clash of authority between
the extremist factions in the Russian

peace terms. A continuation of the

The name OF Lonesome Luke should
also adorn the head of this reader,
because he contributes two acts of
hilarious fun at the Grand tonight in
his latest comedy. On the same pro-
gram is Vivian Martin in "The Fair
Barbarian" This latter picture ap-
peared recently at the Grand, but for
one day only, and On that day the
weather was SO bad that very few
were able to attend it's showing.
There are so many Vivian Martin ad-
mirers in Keokuk, n this is her lat
est and one Of her best pictures, so
the Grand is giving you another
chance on it.
1.-THE Fair Barbarian" is all about
a breezy. real American girl who up
set all the dignity Of a quiet English
village, while visiting her aunt in
Slowbridge. The story is full of
bright comedy. Incidentally this girl
also stirs up the sluggish blood OF a
the management and general directing
OF her own love affair.
Wallace Reid in his latest Rim

The exchange, however, is in

that Japan is presenting arguments

The fact hat President Wilson

viii Holland Protest?
WASHINGTON. March 16.-Intang-
ible rumors that serious trouble
would rise from American-allied
requisitioning of Dutch shipping, were
current here today.
They appeared to come mainly
from Wall street misgivings over the
situation, but official quarters, out
wardly, at least, professed to doubt
that anything more than temporary
differences would result.
Holland may protest more openly
than she has in view of the German
PRESSURE; and Germany may attempt
reprisals against Holland.
But in either case, nothing definite
as to intentions was available here
early today. While authorities an
ticipate Germany would stop at moth
ing if it suited her will, they inclined
to believe that she would hesitate at
! embroiling Holland in the world
strife either on her own side or on
the allied side. Germany and the
allies now manifestIy want Holland
to remain neutral. And, despite the
entirely legal requisitioning of the
Dutch ships, the allied American plan
is to give Holland a liberal supply of
foodstuffs and a portion Of the Dutch
shipping to convey it.
This is for Dutch use only. But 1t
may be a question as to whether
Germany would care to shut off what
supplies she does get from Holland
by acting against her, particularly as
the ship seizure is thoroughly opposed
by the Dutch.
The possibility of an open protest
from the Dutch government is fore
seen. This would strengthen Hol-
lands position in SO far as trouble
with Germany is concerned, as it
would show Germany conclusively
that there lis nc acquiescence on Hol-
lands part.
But America and her allies have
weighed their decision well and hav-
ing tried to mingle their right and
the question of justice, intend now
to stand by their position.
