DIED SUDDENLY
This MORNING
HAD BEEN AILING FOR SEVERAL
MONTHS BUT WAS THOUGHT
TO BE IMPROVING

The people OF Audubon were
greatly surprised to learn this morn
ing of the sudden death of George
Scott, at his home on South Division
street. Mr.. Scott had been in poor
health for several months past, but
a month or so ago he seemed TO be
improving and had been feeling bet
ter until yesterday. On. going to
bed last night he complained of not
feeling so well, yet there did not APP
pear to be any cause for alarm. He
died this morning at $50, death be-
ing due to heart trouble.
Mr.. Scott was one of the pioneers
of Audubon county, having come
here when the city was but six
months old. He was born in War
rem county, New York, September
II, 1854. At the age of twelve
years he came with his family to
Iowa locating at Mechanicsville. On
March 18th, 1879 he was united
marriage to Miss Della M. Park,
of Mechanicsville, Iowa, and
soon after their marriage moved onto
a farm near Hamlin, which continu-
ed to be the family home until twelve
years ago when they moved to the
city of Audubon. h
To this union four sons were born, J
Forrest and Glenn Scott of Audi
bon, Iowa, and Ralph and Harold
Scott of Detroit, Michigan,
who with the bereaved wife and
host of friends are left to mourn his
untimely death.
The deceased was a man loved by
all his neighbors. He was a devoted
husband, a kind father and a true
friend. He was made a Mason in
this city in the year 1889 and in the
year 1914 he became a past master.
At the hour of going to press nc
funeral arrangements have been
made and. will not be made until
word is received from the two sons
in Detroit.

WATER TANK CLEANED

Workmen have been busy this
week cleaning the water tank on the
hill. A lot Of waste matter was
found inside of the tank and from
all appearances 1t was time that the
tank be given a complete overhaul
ing The tank has been painted
inside and out. A large quantity
of rust was removed and when the
water is again turned on. 1t ought
to be purer than it has been for
several years. The present city ad-
ministration has started to do
things. We hope they will keep it
up. A meeting Of the city council
was held last Friday evening and
some important matters were decid-
ed. 1t will probably be a week be-
fore the tank can be used again. In
the meantime the water mains are
kept we'll filled so the entire supply
of city water is not shut of.

LIBERTY BOND DE-
CLINE INVESTIGATION
MAGEE OF NEW YORK PROVIDES
SELECT COMMITTEE TO FIND
REMEDY FOR FALL IN PRICE

Appointment of a select commit
tee to inquire into the deprecia-
tion of the market value of Liberty
bonds is provided in a bill introduced
in the house by Representative Walt
er w. Magee, republican of New
York.
Under the bill the committee
would consist of seven members,
four republicans and three demo-
Gratis, and report to the house at the
earliest possible moment its recon-
mendation as to what legislation, IL
any, Congress should enact for the
purpose of increasing the value of
Liberty bonds.
In explanation Magee says: 81
introduced the resolution upon de-
mands from my home people that
congress sit up and take notice OF
the great depreciation in the market
value Of Liberty bonds. The follow
ing is sample communication from
one Of my most patriotic constitu-
ents:
If there is any one thing in my
opinion that is doing much to unset
tie the United States government. it
is the attitude OF the government in
permitting by any actual deprecia-
ton the value OF these bonds. For
myself, / feel mighty touchy on this
subject. In order to keep up with
the crowd and do what I thought
was right purchased about $4,000
worth of these bonds. and last week
I sold the last of them and my ag-
gregate penalty for loyalty amount
ed to $780,
1.-THE subject matter within the
scope OF the resolution would in
clude several propositions, such as
exemption from taxation, increase
In rate of interest, real causes of de-
probation, fixed policy as to further
bond issues, and protection of multi
tude of small patriotic holders.
81 do not know what should be
done, but / feel that there is a
solemn obligation upon the congress
which authorized the issue of bill
lions OF dollars worth of these bonds
which were seld to thousands upon
thousands OF patriotic purchasers at
great sacrifices, to find out whether
anything can be done to appreciate
their value, and, IL so, to apply the
remedy. This can be promptly and
effectively done through commit
tee appointed to inquire into the
matter, and obtain the views of fin
ancial experts who ought to know
what legislation. II any, the congress
should enact having for its purpose
the appreciation of the value of such
bonds.
1.-THE millions of holders of these
war securities are justly entitled to
relief and I hope that the congress
will meet its responsibility in the
premises squarely and promptly"

CARRANZA CAUGHT;
LIFE WILL BE SPARED
ALL BUT THREE STATES UNDER
THE AUTHORITY OF THE
NEW GOVERNMENT

Mexico's newest revolution is in
its final stages. The old regime
has been overthrow. With the ex-
ception of Yucatan, Campeche,
Chiapas and northern lower Califor-
MIA all Of the country is declared by
revolutionist leaders to be under
control of the new regime.
A bulletin issued by the local con
sulate of the liberal constitutional
party at FL Paso, said President
Carranza and his staff had been cap
tured, Generals Murguia, Urquizo
and Barragan executed and the revo-
lutionists were in control of the ma
tlonal capital after an almost blood
less revolution of few weeks dura-
ION.
The Mexican president and his
party were captured near ApiZacO,
having left the capital Friday when
the fall of the city appeared in
evitable. Carranza has been grant
ed safety by General Aware Obre-
gon, presidential candidate and rev.
olutionist, whose death warrant was
said to have been signed by Carranza
prior to the formers escape from
Mexico City.
Statements from revolutionary
leaders said the new regime would
welcome foreign capital in the de-
velOpment of the nations resources,
lives and property were promised
protection and a reform movement
would be- inaugurated to prohibit
gambling and abolish saloons.
Senior Tames ,one OF the leaders,
says:
while it is true that the rebel
lion in its incipiency and in its de-
velopment has of necessity had a
military character it is also true
that it is essentially a civil move
ment, supported by the public
opinion of the entire country which
this time has applauded without re-
served and accepted with fullness of
of which is the defense of principles
and right threatened by President
Carranza.
sit is a generally admitted fact
that at no time has there been re-
corded in Mexico revolutionary
movement that could compare with
the present one. Its leaders, and
especially General Adolfo De La
Huerta, the supreme chief of the lib
eralist constitutional movement,
have demontrasted with facts and
not with empty promises that the
struggle undertaken does not have
for its object mean party spirit,
with its attendant odium and pas
sion, but is a conscientious, humani-
tartan struggle, based on love, order
and Justice"

Fl. S. Thobe, contractor, who also had
been a passenger on the train. Thobe
turned and ran back to the railway
station. Within 10 minutes Mrs. E. H.
Lafferty who had just returned from
Cincinnati, was held up within three
blocks of the first scene. She scream
ed and the man ran. In both cases
the hold-up artist pointed gun at his
proposed victims. Thobe says the
would-be-robber snapped the gun at
him. From descriptions given, police
believe the same man attempted both
jobs.

ing. to Hamilton, and saw man on
the pike whom he recognized as the
hold-up man. Thobe gave the fellow a
lift intending to turn him over to
the police when Hamilton was reach
ed. But the fellow jumped from the

British Labor Backs 1t

British trade union leaders have instructed their repre-
