MARION LOSES
COUNTY SEAT
CEDAR RAPIDS WINS OUT.M ELEC.
TION By MAJORITY OF OVER
FIVE THOUSAND.
RED cross MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
County Is Organized for Drive This
Week. Every One Urged to Join
Red Cross.

Zens of Linn County decided yesterday
to move the county seat from Marion
to Cedar Rapids. The vote in the
city Of Cedar Rapids was SO over
whelmingly in favor of moving the
county seat from Marion that notwith-
standing the fact that many OF the
rural precincts in the county voted
against the proposition, when the to-
tai vote was counted it showed ma
Sjority in favor Of Cedar Rapids, Of over
5000. For some weeks a hot contest
had been in progress. but the election
passed off orderly, and an hour after
the polls closed 1t became apparent
that Cedar Rapids had won the day.
The Cedar Rapids Republican this
morning says:
"The exhange Of courtesy between
the two Mayors was very friendly.
Mayor Rail voiced the sentiment Of
every citizen Of Cedar Rapids, when
he told Mayor Biggs, that Cedar Rap
ids entertains the kindliest feelings
towards Marion and hopes to see Mar
ion prosper. The removal of the coun-
ty seat. Mayor Rail said was for the
convenience Of the county and not
for the upbuilding OF Cedar Rapids,
nor the tearing down Of Marion. In
every possible way Cedar Rapids will
be glad to cooperate with Marion for
her permanent growth and prosperity.
Cedar Rapids voted almost solidly
for the proposition. Fewer than Ave
hundred votes were cast in the mega
tive. while over eight thousand votes
were cast in the affirmative. Such un-
animity Of sentiment has scarcely ev-
er before been shown In this city.
Marion voted practically solid
against the proposition. In the four
Marion precints and Marion town
ship combined, only twenty-eight
votes were cast IN favor OF moving
the county seat to Cedar Rapids.
In the northern portion Of the
county the vote was strong against
the removal Of the county seat. But
Cedar Rapids carried several Of the
southern townships and in several
others the vote was close. .-;,7
"The campaign had been heated es-
pecially in the last days but the cleo
ti0n was, clean and cordial, both sides
working hard to get voters to the
polls, but using no reprehensible me-
thods. That Marion. who has been !
hard fighter for the retention Of the
court house for many decades, VIII
now be good loser. was indicated
by the action Of Mayor Biggs.
The county seat. however. will NOT
be moved to Cedar Rapids for Z long
time to. come II has been agreed that
the county's business shall ~ trans
acted at Marion until new court
house In Cedar Rapids Is built and
ready for occupancy. Before that can
be done It will be necessary to
go before the voters and ask for au-
.thority to float enough bonds to build
the court house."

RUMELY ENTERS
NOT GUILTY PLEA
Editor Charged with Con.
cealing Hun Ownership,
Gives $4,000 Bond.

DR.. Edward A Rumely. whose
connection with the New York
Evening Mail was the subject OF
investigation by the office OF the
then Alien Property Custodian A.
Mitchell Palmer some time ago.
pleaded not guilty yesterday to a
charge of concealing the real own
ership of the paper.
He was arraigned in Criminal
Court No. l before Justice Siddons.
who fixed bail in the sum of $4,000.
This amount in liberty bonds was
deposited with the court by Attor-
ney Frank ]. Hogan. counsel for
DIR. Rumely. for his appearance at
the October term of the court.
The prosecution expects to prove
that the former ambassador to this
country from Germany, Count Jo-
ham Bernstorfr. had purchased the
controlling stock in the Evening
Mail for the German government
for propaganda purposes. 1t is al
legged that DIR. Rumely failed to
comply with the law in reporting
the fact that the stock was owned
by Germany.
