~ In Barn at Home
Of Sister.

The swapping of a floor joist in
the barn and the timely arrival of
his brother-in-law combined to pre-
vent Roy Candy committing suicide
yesterday morning at the home of
his sister, Mrs. Schmeuing, living
on farm near Honey Creek. Ia
Candy tied rope to the beam and
adjusted moose to his neck and
jumped from The barn loft. The
weight of several sacks of cement
Immediately over the beam caused
it to break under the strain and
buried him under the debris. His
brother-in-law, following him, had
just entered the barn when the
crash came and he quickly rescued
the young man and removed the
strangling rope.
Candy, who Is a returned soldier
and lives at Portage, Wis, was visit
ing his sister. He was engaged to
be married to Miss Gertrude Glib
bons of Howell, Neb., and when he
returned from overseas with his
face badly marred by wounds rec
eived on the battlefields of France,
the young woman experienced re-
yulsion of feeling. When she looked

of cement. His pitiful face had been
further married by rusty nail which
had torn his cheek. The Young man
was so badly injured that he had to
be carried into the house. He was
brought to town for medical atten-
ton. One shoulder and his collar
bone were broken in addition to the
injury to his neck from the rope. The
young man declared he did not want
to live, but the physician says he
will.

Candy served nearly three years
in the Canadian army. His romance
with Miss Gibbons began when they
were children and they were en-
gagged to be married when he en-
tered the service. Love letters
passed throughout the war period.
A consultation of Council Bluffs

that he needed the assistance of

ton orders are received, before do
ing so he should be consulted
Representative Siegel of New
York said there was no authority
in law for such staying Of deporta-
tons.
Baker said that some Of the radi-
Gals affected by the stay had been
released by the department, and
some had obtained their freedom by
llabcas corpus proceedings. The eff
feet Of Howe's order to him, he
said, probably was to permit delay
for the institution of habeas~corpus
proceedings"
On Own Recognizance.
Representative Siegel, read from
immigration department records
names of two dozen men who had
been held at the island with war
rants for their deportation on file,
but had been released mostly on
their own recognizance. They are
now missing.
Howe interrupted Bakers testi-
mony in an effort to give his version
of the matter, but was shut off by
the committee, which promised him
an opportunity to be heard later.
Failing to obtain permission to 'tes-
tify earlier in the day, Howe had
issued/a statement to the press say
ing that he had never released
radical without orders from Wash
ington.
This statement was issued after
Howe had interrupted Byron H.
Uhl, now acting commissioner at
the island and deputy when Howe
was commissioner. Uhl had testi-
fed that a letter signed by Howe,
April "a, ordering the circulation of
anarchistic literature at the island
stopped had not been delivered to,
the proper officers to enforce it until
June 4.
Interrupts Proceedings.
"That isn't true" Howe ex-
claimed before the committee
stopped his statement by informing
him that it would tolerate "no~police
court" methods.
Later in the day Howe tried to
the proceedings again to
say that he was in error in asserting
that Uhi was not telling the truth,
but the committee told him to write
a letter about it.
Dudley Field Malone, then coll
lector of the port of New York, adj
dressed informed German sailors at
the island the night after war was
declared, Baker testified, and prom
Used them that their treatment would
be such that they could have no
cause for complaint, and that can
teens would be provided. The can
teens never were provided, however,
Baker added.

Washington, Nov. 28.-Nine husky
deputy u. S. marshais were pro-
vided for Commissioner fUhl today,
so that he could break the Silence"

now awaiting deportation proceed
ings. The usual guards at the island

The deputies will use force to
bring the radicals before irnmigra-

Howe Held Deportations.
Testimony that Frederic c. Howe,
former commissioner of immigra-
ton at Ellis island, had ordered de-
portations of radicals held up, al
though final deportation orders had
been received from the Department
of Labor, was given, to the house
immigration commission today by
Percy A. Baker, superintendent of
the island. Baker put in evidence
an order he had received from
Howe last March, reading:
"You will stay all deportations in
these alien cases until the attor-
neys can be advised and until after

Baker testified that an order OF
the department to deport was final
and he, therefore, did not under

suited him. Baker then made this
