Vouchers filed by the Iowa commits

This was the testimony of Miss Vida

failed to properly account for funds

She declared many Of tn. vouchers

She cited the case of Clinton fur

this firm, from which she personally
secured three different vouchers at

The dull routine of the hearing was
broken through testimony Of Senator
Haskell, of Linn county, who told the

At the New Colonial.

Love is the keynote of 1.-THE Turn
! In the Road" a photo-drama written
and produced under the direction of
King w. Vidor, one of the most
talented of the young writer's for the
screen, at the New Colonial tonight.
Mr. Vidor has succeeded in mak-
ing his drama a vehicle for teaching
the omnipotencse of love through
the medium Of child. A man who
has been brought up in the fear Of
God, loses his faith when his bride
of a year dies in childbirth, goes
down into the depths, and becomes
an agnostic and derelict. After
years of vain search for the truth
he is regenerated by the simple faith
of child, his own, whom he had
deserted.
The human note is dominant
throughout, while pathos, wholesome
humor and tender love-story COM
bine to make the picture one of the
most appealing screen dramas ever
produced.
Pictorially, the production is a
masterpiece of artistic beauty, and
the realism is accumulated by a vivid
storm scene during a big dramatic
climax.

Sheriff Has Dramatic Encounter with
Armed Boishevist In the Donnell-
son Fair Grounds
Yesterday.
HANDY WITH ARTILLERY
Earl Benjamin Is Lodged In County
Jail at keokuk After Running
Amuck In DonneIlson for
Awhile.

Earl BENJAMIN left the home OF MI
family, among the best people aroun'
Donnellson, and went out west o.
somewhere for awhile. He returned
recently and since then has beer
making a good deal of bother around
his old home.
Tuesday night, he emphasized al
argument with his sisters by firing
a couple Of shots in the house.
Yesterday he kept in that sort OF
argumentative mood which was en-
/ tirely out of harmony with his bring
ing up and the high standing OF his
relatives at Donnellson.
Sheriff Scott was returning from
Mt. Pleasant along the Red Ball route
! yesterday afternoon, and when ne
reached Donnellson was appealed to
to reason with Benjamin and act as
peace conference.
His efforts for universal peace re-
: suited in more war.
Close Quarters In Fair Grounds.
Sheriff Scott used his mild voice
and diplomacy on Benjamin, who
finally agreed to come to Keokuk to
visit a few days until the weather
became less belligerent.
But very soon the word came that
Benjamin was romping around town
with a shotgun and unkind talk.
When Sheriff Scott overlook him
again it was in the fair grounds. AS
Scott approached, Benjamin brought
the gun to the ready and told him to
stop or he would shoot the officer
Scott, who was unarmed, kept up
line of talk and gradually slipped
closer to Benjamin, but the latter
sensed the tactics and jumped first,
with the gun pointing at Scott. The
latter grabbed the gun just as it went
off and diverted the load to the adj
jacent landscape. and then secured
Benjamin, who also had revolver
in his pocket.
Put Him in Jail Here.
He brought the man to Keokuk
and lodged him in the county Jail
over night, and with him brought
both the shotgun and revolver which
the unarmed sheriff took from Ben
jamin.
This morning a charge of assault
with intent to kill was filed against
Benjamin in the superior court,
where he was arraigned.
He waived preliminary examination
and was bound over to the grand jury
under bonds of $4,000. He could not
give the bond and was returned to
the county Jail, where he now is kept
peaceable.
Talks Like a BolshevlkI.
Since his return to Donnellson from
the west, Benjamin has been talking
in the manner characteristic of the
/. w. w. and other bolsheyiki, Don
nelson people say.
He has been harping on what the
world and his family owe him, re-
CARELESS of any legal rights, which
nobody can discover he has, and
seemed antagonistic to his family be-
cause they are thrifty and eminent1y
while he had become
poor.
The trial of the case in the district
court next fall promises to be inter
esting. Donnellson people say that
it is doubtful whether he will be
bailed out of Jail by his relatives, as
that would probably only make them
more trouble, not to speak Of the
danger to the community.

ture that everybody will like. It's es
sentially adult, but it has moments OF
nonsense that will delight the chill
dren. A most modern version OF
Goldilocks and the Three Bears, with
a fleeing bride and three woman
hating bachelors as the principals.
While the story is really most inn
probable, it does not carry you out
side the range Of possibility.
A bride could rebel at the altar and
flee before she had uttered the fatal
words She could own a cottage at
Loon lake and repair there. Her
agent might have rented the cottage
without her knowledge to three
concentrating bachelors. Now, all OF
that could happen, couldn't it? In the

tifully done, from the standpoint of
technique, too.

Angles of Peace Parley
Nc,r York Tribune


Nc,C pOrft Tribune
Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, July 24.-Secretary
of State Lansing to-day declined to
discuss any angle Of the peace confer
ence.
Il don't think it at all proper to dis
cuss the peace conference" the Secre-
tary told newspaper men ct the first
conference he has had with them since
his return from Paris.
Shortly after arriving at the State
De lment to-day Secretary Lansing
was called to the White House, where
he is understood to have conferred with
the President at great length on the
Senate opposition to the peace treaty
and league covenant.
Asked il he would give his version Of
the Shantun(s question, Mr.. Lansing re-
piled, Il am not going to discuss that"
When asked ii he could throw any
light on the so-called Lansing Bliss pro-
test to the Shantung section Of the
treaty." Mr.. Lansing replied:
Il can and | can't"
Mr. Lansing said that he had not yet
had an opportunity to determine what
changes would be made in the State
Department personnel, but admitted
that reorganization would be neces-
sary to provide staffs to carry on the
additional work of the department.
In discussing his plans for the future
the Secretary said that he intended to
remain right along at the State Depart
ment
