Havner wins Poir..

DIES MONIES, iowa, April g.
Horace NJ Havner, attorney general,
won his point of connecting Governor
W. L. Harding with the agreement by
which Ernest Rathbun, Ida county
youth, convicted on statutory
charge, surrendered his pardon.
Bert Johnson, a Havner aide in the
original prosecution of Rathbun, was
the first witness of the concluding
session of the Rathbun pardon probe
by the house judiciary committee,
and testified that he knew that
Governor Harding knew of the ar
rangement because Thad Smell Jr. Ida
county attorney, had told Charles
Witt, the governors secretary.
Smell followed Johnson on the
stand and said he told Witt of the
arrangement before he talked with
the governor in a Carol hospital.

sippi river after warm wsnl in bright
sunshine in the spring.
The grand jury found 70 indict-
ments and adjourned after eontinu-
ing ten or twelve cases. Most of

Transportation Is Expensive.
A number of cases of transporting
liquor across the state line were tried
on information, instead of Indictment,
and the uniform fine Of 500 was as
sessed in each case, with the pro-
viso that if $50 be paid within sixty
days, it will suffice, and if the fine is
not paid, the defendant is to be con.
fined in the Wapello county jail
The victims of their own impru
dence in this manner were Raymond
w. Booz, Albert 3. Bender, Thomas
3. Mcmahon, Charles Laugenfeld,
John Zaune and John Schwartz.
The case against Vic Solari was
dismissed by the district attorney.

Charles Turner Insists That He 10 Not
coIored Gentleman Who Brought
a Suit Case Of Booze OF
Car.
T. A. CRAIG AS SOLOMON
Some People Say It is Same Man, But
the Man Himself Says 1t is
Not, and There You are,
You Know.

Several hours today were occupied
in hearing evidence on whether the
negro in the court of United States
Commissioner Theodore A. Craig
was the same negro who came from
Warsaw on an interurban car and
left suitcase on the paving on the
levee.
c. B. Shepherd, deputy United
States marshal at Burlington, was
going to take train home this
morning, then he saw a colored man
alight from an interurban car with
suitcase that appeared to be very
heavy.
The colored man placed the hand
baggage on the paving and walked
away. The depuy marshal walked
over and opened the suitcase. 1t
was full OF booze.

Then Shepherd, with a Burlington
garage man as a companion, them
selves walked up town, and in Sec
ond street saw. tho man they say is
the same one who abandoned the
suitcase full of booze. Shepherd ar
rested him.
The man arrested was Charles
Turner, Of Keokuk. He protested
that he had left no suitcase any
where, had not handled any suitcase
for many moons, and never heard or
anybody leaving one on the street
paving on the levee.
But he was taken before Commits
sioner Theodore A. Craig and his
hearing was begun at once. 1t was
then about 10 o'clock this forenoon.
The Question Of Identity.
Shepherd and Suffer both testified
that Turner is the same man who
placed the suitcase on the paving on
the levee.
Roy Patterson, interurban conduc-
tor, testified that Turner Is the same
man who came from Warsaw to keo-

the hand baggage in question. But

Corn and Provisions.

Chicago, April 14.-Record break ing high prices for provisions, to- gether with wet weather that re- tarded the crop movement brought about a decided bulge today in the corn market. Corn closed strong at 1 1-2 to 2 7-Sc net advance with May 1.60 Is to 1.60 IA and July 1.53 3-8 to 1.53 1-2. Oats gained 1-2M5-S to lc. In provisions, there was rise of 57 cents to $2.SO.
 Activity as well as higher prices characterized the corn market, the short covering toward the last forced a more rapid upturn thsn, any which had preceded. It was at this time that the soaring of provision values at tracted special notice as bullsh in- fluence on corn.
 Delays to seeding lifted oats.
 Urgent export demand was said to account for the big jump in provisions.

Market News
New York Cotton.

New York, April 14.-Rather ir- regular fluctuations were followed by a sharp advance in the cotton market today. The close was very steady at practically the best levels of the day, 20 to 60 points net higher on the new style and IS to 75 points higher on the old style deliveries.
 The market opened steady unchang- ed to an advance of 13 points on new style months and sold higher right after the call on relatively firm cables and reports of rapidly im- proving goods trade at home and abroad. The advance was checked by realizing. Later deliveries were sus- tained by an unfavorablc western belt forecast and commission house buy ing, but lost most of the early ad- vance. Business tapered off sharply and the market later showed renewed strength on continued favorable peace reports, foreign and domestic trade buying and covering. The strength of the stock market probably accounted for some of the Wall street buying, but the bullish factor most discussed was the increased activity of the goods market. Trade interests were active buyers of July late in the day. Exports today 7,7o1 bales, mak- ing 3,657, ,605 so far this season. Port receipts 10,658. United States port stocks 1,236,44O.

New Orleans, April 14.-A firm undertone was held by cotton today on the opening to the close with the highest prices recorded in the last few minutes of trading. A favorable construction of political news, ex- tremely good accounts from the cot ton markets of this country, the un- expected rise of fifty points in spot quotations to 26.75 for middling and the disappointment of shorts over the failure of the census bureau to put out it's March figures on Amer ican consumption according to sche- dule were the main buying features. Last prices for the day showed net gains of 54 to 56 points.
 The opening was higher, shorts being buyers of covers. It was an- nounced the consumption report would be issued tomorrow, but no selling was stimulater.
 The interior reported rather freer offerings and also sent in favorable weather and crop accounts but with out affecting values.
