RICE ESCAPES EXTRACTION.
Alleged Wife Deserter Finds Refuge
in Nevada.


Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo, May 20.-Roy A. Rice,
formerly prominent citizen and bus
mess man of Cedar Falls. and arrested
at Reno, New, few days ago on u
warrant issued at Cedar Falls charging
wife desertion, was released on habeas
corpus proceedings about six hours al
ter his arrest. This information was
received yesterday by local authorities.
Sheriff D. B. Henderson was prepar-
ing to leave for Reno 70 take Rice
into custody when the telegram was
received.
County Attorney E. J. Wenner Sc
cured second warrant charging child
abandonment and tela;raphell the
sheriff at Reno and full warrant with
all details ordering him to rt-arrest
Rice but the Nevada official refused
to take any further action in the mat
ter. 1t appears that Rice has found a
safe refuge in the confines of Nevada
and efforts to bring him hack to Black
Hawk county 20 answer to charges ar
rising out Of domestic troubles will be
futile. However, the citizens of Cedar
Falls subscribed $3.50 to aid in de-
fraying expenses incidental to the
costs incurred in prosecution of the
case and the local officials are deter
mined to make fight for extradition.
They admit that the efforts will prob
ably prove futile for the fact the Ne
vada laws are very lenient regarding
domestic troubles and charges arising
out of such cases.

Des Moines, May 2O.-An investiga-
ton Of the administration of the $751;
900 fund appropriated by the Thirty
sixth general assembly for use in max
ing an Iowa exhibit at the San Fran
cisco exposition in 1915 is being made
today by the retrenchment and reform
committee of the last legislature, in
session at the state house.
Charges have been made from time
to time that there has never been a
sufficient accounting made on the ex-
penditure Of funds from this appropria :
ton and particularly that no account
ing has ever been made by the men in
charge of the exhibit of funds received
from concessions in the Iowa building.
About $4,000 in round numbers was
turned back into the Iowa treasury by
Woodwork Clum, secretary of the Iowa
commission of the Panama Pacific ex-
position, out of the $4,000 appropriat-
ed. The cost of erecting the Iowa build
ing at San Francisco was met thru pri-
vate subscription. The legislature re-

1t had been anticipated that fully
| $4,000 would be needed in putting on
the Iowa exhibits. However. the plan
| for big cattle exhibit had to be
dropped thru the prevalence Of foot and
mouth disease that season. The Cali
fornia authorities barred the Iowa
| cattle. Hence it did not take all of this
$4,000 to put on the Iowa exhibit and
about $4,000 was turned back into the
state treasury.

Meat Ia Scarce.

Patrick J. Kennedy and Thomas
Carr. farmers of Templeton, Ind, came
to Indianapolis with three carloads of
hogs and cattle, and after waiting all
day at the stock yards were told that
there was no demand for them, says
the indianapolis News. The price on
hogs fell Off from $l7.69 to $40 while
they were Mt the yards and finally they
had to sell II of the choicest hogs from
one car Mt SIT. They were told that
these hogs were too fat. The razor
backs, comparatively speaking, brought
$17.1O. The cattle could not be sold.
After this experience the two went
to n stock yards restaurant nearby and
ordered steak. 1t was Tuesday and,
therefore, meatless day.

Des Moines, May 20.-Governor w. L.
Harding will in all probability be
chosen as the temporary chairman of
the republican state convention when
it meets here late In July.
The selection Of temporary chair
man is one OF the details left to the
executive committee Of the republican
state central committee and the COM
mittee is understood to favor the selec-
ton Of the governor for this honor.
The members of the executive COM
mittee are l.. D. Whitney, of DEBORAH;
Maj. Roy Smell, Of Hawarden, and
Charles A. Rawson, Of Des Moines.
Inasmuch as the plan is to make the
convention a big patriotic gathering,
1t is the thought Of political leaders
here that the governor is the logical
man for temporary chairman. He is
making many patriotic speeches not
only in Iowa but elsewhere which have
attracted much attention, particularly
his speeches made at Kansas City, Chi
cago, Minneapolis and Duluth.
An effort was made recently to have
National Republican Chairman VIII H
Hays, Of Indiana, come to Iowa, but he
did not accept the invitation. 1t is pos
sible he may come at q later date and
there is a. possibility that he might at
tend the state convention, altho this is
at yet only suggestion.
Short Campaign Probable.
AS to the date Of the convention it
probably will be held the last Wednes-
day in July. The leaders seem to think
that as short a campaign time as pos
sible would be preferable in these war
times.
Canvasses made by two dry asso-
ciations: the Iowa Prohibitory Amend
ment Association and the Iowa Anti
Saloon League show that at most only
thirteen out of 246 candidates for the
next legislature are wet. The prohib-
tory association in its canvass found
