Sheriff c. c. Beck had an excit-
which he will remember for many
years to come, as a gang. of Missouri
toughs tried to kidnap him and very
nearly succeeded. The trouble all
grew out of the famous! state line
cases, which have already cost the
litigants a small fortune, and the
trouble. Last January Howard
Moore. who lives just across the line
in Missouri, was indicted by the
Decatur county grand jury charged
with kidnapping, but the officers
were unable to arrest him, as he. did
not come across the line into Iowa.:
Last Saturday Lay s sheriff he Beck eel; Went went
Montay whens,fe saw Moore stafc
from his house and go down a, lane
which Is on the Iowa side. Sheriff
Beck rushed up on him and grappled
with him, and after rough and
tumble time of it succeeded in max
the bee ne Wae aaced dS under
bonds Of $500. On Tuesday he
hired livery rig with Asbury Price
as driver, and he and sheriff Beck
went down to Lineville to have his
bond signed. This was duly ac-
complished and Moore was released.
Sheriff Beck placed the bond in his
low named Summers, asked him to
step across the line to his drug
storesto see his father. who was an
old friend of sheriff Beck, who he
said was sick. No sooner was sheriff
Beck inside the building than
gang of about twenty of the Moore
crowd jumped on him and tried to
take the bond from him, and would
have succeeded had not Asbury
Asbury Price stepped in and shoyed
a revolver in the leaders face. This
gave the sheriff time to draw his
weapon and he and Price backed off
across the line into Iowa, where the
crowd dared not follow. 1t was a
narrow escape for Charley and he
will be little cautious in the future
how he goes over the line.

25th the Aaron Poultry and Egg Co.
received car Of Illinois nut coal.
After taking what was needed at the
plant and delivering some to about
twenty of the men working at the
plant, the BALANCE about one third
of the car, was turned over to the
city by order of Mr.. Aaron to be
distributed among people who were
out of coal, with the distinct under
standing that there was to be no
profit charged on. this coal bv any
one. The cost of this car of coal
was as follows:
Coal at the mine, per ton ,$3.7S
Freight, per ton .-.....-........ 2.7O
RecOnsigning, war tax and
shrink, per ton -.---..--.----., .22
Hauling, per tom -..--......-..-..- .75
Total, per ton ..S7.42
If any one that" was supplied with
any coal from this car was charged
more than the above amount they
are entitled to their money back un-
less there was a. double haul. In
that case there would be a little ex-
ira charge. ~

; ordered. But the reading was never | started. Senator Hitchcock had con- i tended that the agreement was to vote
 on the amendments today, but, calling for the record, Senator Lodge and oth- CTS showed only consideration was to begin today. and in order to save time it was further agreed to get through with the reading before opening the debate.
 Senator Williams, democrat. of Mis- sissippi, coming late into the chamber, asked permission to put into the record certain documents sent to him from California concerning Senator John sons fight against the 1eagu of na- tions. Sena tor Williams had just re- marked that Senator Johnson was re- turning to California to continue his attack on the president and to look latter walked down the aisle. with fire in his eys
 That opened the hoodgates of ora tory, and the senate never got down to its reading. Vice President Marshall announced, however, that the business
 before the senate was the Fall amend
 ments which would come up automat-
 ically every day at o'clock or earlier,
 and while he did not expect the de-
 bate to deal solely with this ma tier,
 the amendments would remain the or
 der of business until disposed of
 finally.
 Senator Johnson, who started to- night for California. pleaded for adop
 tion of his amendment to the league covenant which would give the United States the same voting power as Great Britain, and declared he was going among the people to point out to them ! that the pact was an affront to the patriotism of the American people.
 With frankness Senator Johnson told the senate that his amed1ment, all ready passed over temporarily, would not be taken up now. because of an agreement or tacit understanding, with some democrats and republicans who were not in favor of it.
 The debate which followed covered wide range. with technical discus sion of league covenant articles, and constitutional arguments. Senator Brandegee, republican. Connecticut. and member of the foreign relations committee. announced in the course of a speech that he would vote for a Il amendments and reservations and then vote against the treaty. Senator Brandegee declared he wanted to get the American army out of Europe and to keep this country from the entangIe- ments and cmbroilments of Europe, whose map now resembles kaleid- oscope.",
 Declaring that nine tenths of the men who were in service were opposed to the league, Senator Brandegee said the argument that it must not be amended becau that would mean sending it back to conference was pusillanimous"
 If the senate has the courage and patriotism to perform it's manifest duty.' Senator Brandegee said, "it will ask that the United States be put on the same voting basis a $ the British empire. And if they want us in this league they will agree to this before you can count six, which is EngIand's number of votes to our one"
 Senator Brandegee declared that if the presidents interpretation of Arti cie Ten was correct-that American troops could not be sent abroad with out the, consent of congress- he could see no reason why it should not be so

 U. s. A. PRISONERS IN FRANCE

New York. Sept. 26.-Bringing re- port of courageous cruelties perpe- trated on American soldiers in prisons of the American expeditionary forces tee sent overseas to investigate tales of army prison horrors" arrived here tonight on the transport cAgamemnon from Brest. The party was composed of Representatives Royal C. Johnson, South Dakota, chairman; Oscar E. Bland of Indiana and Henry D. Flood of Virginia.
 Conditions in army prison camps were found very bad with special emphasis laid prison camp ?. near Paris, the committee stated.
 tConditions were appalling" Repre- sentative Bland said as soon as the Agamemnon docked. Nothing like the treat tment of our men had ever been known before in the history of the American army We have copies of records, reports and testimony Of inspectors, courtmartial officers so sa to be enabled to fix responsibility dcf nitely.''
 Representative Bland held that Col onel Grinstead and General Strong were directly responsible for the iun- precedcnted cruelties" at prison farm ?, and that if General Strong, who was over Colonel Grinstead. did not know cf conditions he should have known of them.
 He said that General Harts for months was in the same building at TO Rue St. Anne where thousands of outrages were committed. Lack of food. heat and air. and nauseating sanitary conditions were before his eyes, and the reports showing their condition were on file i1 his office, Mir. Bland said.
 The representative added that Gen. eral Harts was the military guardia n of the president and mo man in the judge advocate generals or provost marshafs departments had the bold ness to recommend his trial before a courtmartial or efficiency board"
 Three facts stand out said Mir Bland. First. that the most horrible and revolting cruelties existed: sec ond. that the higher officers responsi- ble have not been made to atone for these wrongs: third that no reason able excuse for the same has been of fered by the war department. It Is clearly uD to tlsnm."
 Congressman Bland added cit Is the intention of the committee to see that every man in any way resDonsihle for the outrages will be broHgth to justice before the forum of public opinion"
