E. W. Hart, ecelver of the Grand hotel,
received word yesterday from the Pinker
ton Detective agency of the arrest In Kala
maaoo, Mich., of Holhrook T. Estill, alias
R. S. Hammond, alias Henry Boling, who
succeeded In passing a forged draft for $50
lost November on M. P. Park, chief clerk
of the hotel. . f
While here Estill, alias, Hammond, passed
under the name of R. Boling, and being a
man of fine appearance and claiming to
represent a well known eastern house, had
no, difficulty In securing the cash on a 150
druft purporting to be signed by C. C. May,
?aahjer of the International bank of Cam
bridge, Wis. The draft was subsequently
proved to be a forgery.
Estill Is said to have defrauded a number
of hotels throughout the country on forged
checks, and his arrest at Kalamazoo was on
a charge of forgery.
An' information charging Estill, alias
Boling, with securing money under false
pretenses was filed yesterday before Justice

Ao effort to bring Estlir back here will be
made as soon as the Kalamazoo authorities

PLEAD GUILTY TO ASSAULT
Zima.rD;tn and Burks Get Tweaty-FiTS
Years According ?o Agreement.
JUDGE THORNELL TALKS TO COLORED MEN
.Nrttru Attorney Who Appears for De
fendants Delivers Address Xirk
Alone the same Lines as
the Judge.,
In accordance with the agreement reached
on their electing to plead giilltjc Judge
Thornell veaterdar mnrnlnc in district court
sentenced Nealey Zimmerman and George
Burke, the negro assailants of Mrs. Mary
(Mark and her daughter, Mrs. Harry San
ders, to twenty-five years each In the peni
tentiary at Fort Madison. Five years of
the sentence was Imposed on the robbery
charge and twenty years on the attemnted
criminal assault count. The sentence are
consecutive and not concurrent, the pris
oners, according to the order of the court,
having to first serve the shorter sentence
and then the longer one. If the prisoners
earn every minute of good time allowance
they can secure their release at the end
of fifteen years.
In pawing sentence Judge Thornell spoke
on the crime to which" the prisoners had
pleaded guilty, saying in part: "There Is
a prevailing opinion that men of the negro
race are prone to commit assaults on white
women, but during my eighteen years on
the bench this Is only the second case of
this kind which has come before me.
Nevertheless, the opinion prevails, and this
being the case the man who commits this
crime must be the most bitter and vin
dictive enemy of his race ' and himself.
Other black men should brand the black
man who commits this crime as his own
worst enemy and should be willing to see
him punished."
Ooorge W. Woodson, a negro . attorney
from Muchaklnock, la., who had been en
gaged to defend the prisoners, replied to
Judge Thornell and created a most favor
able Impression by his eloquence. He said:
"The negro race does not countenance the
crime of which these two men have pleaded
rullty. The sentiment of the colored race
la that it has no toleration for any man,
whether he be white or black, who touches
a woman, white or black, with any but a
hand of kindness." . .
The court room was crowded during the
proceedings, but there was no demonstra
tion. Zimmerman and Burko will be taken
to the penitentiary this morning.
Charles Stevenson, Indicted for inciting
a riot the night the mob. gathered at, tho
county Jail with threats to lynch the two
negroes and who was found guilty of "un
lawful assembly," a lesser offense, by a
district court Jury, was sentenced to' thirty
days in the county Jail. Nate Bothers, ar
rested with Stevenson and indicted on a
similar charge, was allowed to plead guilty
to the lesser charge and received a like
eenterce. Stevenson and Bothers have al
ready been forty-seven days in Jail.
Frank Schenck, who was Indicted on a
charge of assaulting his wife with- mur
derous intent, was sentenced to thirty
days in the county tall. hi. -i
egun yesterday morning, but after the
viaence ror the state was submitted
Schenck was permitted to plead guilty to
Plain assault and battery. Schenck la the
man who stood off the officers sent to ar
rest him for over an hour by threatening
to cut the throat of his young son. whom
he held on his knee with one hand, while
he brandished a big knife In the other.
The trial of J. M. Faith, charged with
contracting a bigamous marriage with Mrs
May Welsh, will be taken up today.
Judge ThcmelT will this morning hear
the motion for a new trial In the case of
Peter D. Burke, convicted of assaulting
Real 8ummltt with Intent to commit man
slaughter. In the motion for a new trial
there la alleged among other things mis
conduct on the part of the Jury. It 1s
Alleged that the Jurors were guilty of mis
conduct In that they spoke. of the relations
said to exist between Burke and the
mother of Reel Summltt and that for this
reason they should not believeher testi
mony. It is also alleged that several of
the Jurors made reference during their
deliberations to what certain newspapers
had written about the case.
A motion for a new trial was filed by
the plaintiff in the suit of N. A. Crawford
against W. C. Droge and others.

MOTHER SECURES HER CHILD
Little One Pleads to Uo Home
and the Bequest Is Ar-
certe-J To.
"You won't lot thm take me away from
you agnln, will you. mumma?" w.ih the an
xious query of flnxen haired, 8-year-old
Maud Green, ns she sat on the hip of
her mother yesterday afternoon at the
city police station. The mother, Mrs. F.
B. Johnson, and her sister. Mrs. Routson,
both of Des Moines, bad been taken Into
custody on complaint of Mrs. S. C. Conner
of 1126 Ninth avenue, who charged them
with kidnaping the child.
The story as was unfolded showed that
last December the child came to Council
Bluffs to vls'lt an aunt, Mrs. Nichols, and
also another aunt, Mrs. Bufllnyton, In
Omaha. The child's mother was divorced
from her first husband, John Green, and
was awarded the custody of their two
children, the daughter Maud and a younger
boy. i The mother recently married again,
a man named Johnson, and her first hus
band's relatives, finding little Maud hrre,
placed h'er with Mrs. Conner to live, on
the understanding that Mrs. Conner would
be able to secure adoption papers for tho
child.
This disposition of the little girl. It Is
said, was made without the knowledge
of the mother, who only learned of It
when she received In Des Moines Wednes
day papers for her to sign, relinquishing
her rights in the child to Mrs. Conner.
Mrs. Johnson, who said she supposed that
the child was merely visiting with Mrs.
Conner, at once hastened to Council Bluffs,
accompanied by her sister, with the In
tention of regaining possession of her
child. The child, she learned, was at the
Eighth avenue school and there the mother
and aunt hastened. Little Maud cried with
Joy when she saw her mother and begged
her to take her home with her. This the
mother was preparing to do when an
officer placed her and Mrs. Routson under
arrest on the charge of kidnaping the
child.
Mrs. Conner was sent for, but as she
could not show any adoption papers for
the little girl, the police decided no charge
could be placed against Mrs. Johnson and
Mrs. Routson and after a lengthy - con
ference between all parties concerned,
Mrs. Johnson triumphantly bore her little
daughter away with her to Des Moines.
There was nothing to show but that Mrs.
Conner had acted In good faith and that
she had been led to believe that the mother
was willing to relinquish the child.

FOR BIENNIAL ELECTION
owa Senate Adopts Froooted Amendment
by Almost Unanimous Vote.
STATE FUNDS LIKELY TO DRAW INTEREST
Ilonse Passe the . BUI In Spite of
Determined Opposition of Des
Moines lln nkers llcnrst
Men ftatlsfled.
(From a Staff Correspondent )
DKS MOfXES, Feb. 11. (Special.) The
sennte of the Iowa legislature today set
Its seal of approval on the measure to
provide that there shall be elections In
Iowa only every other year by adopting
by an overwhelming vote the proposed
amendment to the constitution to that
effect. Only two votes were cast against
the bill and three senators, while voting
for It declared themselves as personally
opposed to the measure. Those who voted
no were Messrs. Wilson of Clinton and
Spaulding cf the Chickasaw-Floyd district.
Senator Newberry In casting his vote de
clared his county In previous action had
given a majority In opposition to the
amendment, but the voters of the state
seemed to favor it. He therefore voted
yes. Senator Gllllland of Mills, while he
personally believed elections are educative
and nre not too frequently held, declared
that he voted ln deference to the sentl
m?nt of the voters from hi district. Sena
tor Oale of Cerro Oordo for similar rea
sons explained his vote In the affirmative.
Interest on State Fonda.
Senator Lewis called up his bill to re
quire that banks shall pay interest on
state money deposited with them and It
was passed unanimously.. The bill was
bitterly opposed by the Des Moines bankers
who now hold over Jl.000,000 of state money
on which they pay no Interest. It is esti
mated the bill will give the state a revenue
of $30,000 to 140,000 a year from this source.
The binding twine question came up In
the house today, when Mr. Powers intro
duced a bill to establish a plant at Ana
mosa, appropriating 1100,000 for the build
In and $100,000 for the plant and that
twine shall be made by the state and sold
at cost to the people, plus 60 cents a day
fbr pay for convicts. At the same time
the senate reported that the concurrent
resolution for an Investigation of the sub
ject had been passed and the speaker ap
pointed on this committee of investiga
tion Messrs. Powers, Jones and Delano.
They are directed to make a full investi
gation of the subject and report at as
early a day as possible.
Completing; Inebriate Asylum.
The State Board of Control made a re
port to the legislature on the probable cost
of remodeling the state buildings at Knox
vllle so that they may be used for the
state asylum for inebriates. The board
reports that if all the Inebriates are to
be sent to Knoxvllle then there should be
an appropriation of at least $200,000 to put
the buildings in right condition and secure
the necessary land and new buildings, for
the buildings will have to be arranged to
provide for restraint of the Inebriates.
Two hundred acres niore of land should be
purchased, the present buildings would
have to be remodeled, an administration
building added... a , power house, engine
room, coal house, .lo,undry, shop, and cot
tage for 100 persons. All this will cost at
the Inside $119,525, but the board suggests
$125,000 as a reasonable sum, but if the
buildings are to' he!, equipped for at least
200 Inebriates and all classes are to be
sent there. Including the vicious and crim
inal, then the appropriation should be at
least $200,000.
In the house today the bill to require that
county recorders shall re-record instru
ments where errors have been made, and
this without expense, was passed. The
bill to fix the salary of the county record
ers the same each and every year and to
prevent fluctuations m the compensation
owing to change In the amount of fees
from year to year, waa also passed.
Monuments to Iowa Men. .
The bill to appropriate $10,000 for defici
ency In the national guard funds was
passed. Also the bill to appropriate $500
for monuments for General George A.
Stone, Governor William M. Stone and
General M. M. Crocker.
The bill to complete the Iowa historical
and memorial building in Des Moines was
Introduced in the house by Representative
English. It carried an appropriation of
$300,000 and provides that the executive
council may purchase or secure by con
demnation the additional ground needed
for the building.
The military committee of the house In
troduced the bill to appropriate $11,500 for
the Andersonvtlla monument to Iowa aol
dleri. A bill appropriating $6,000 for the
League of Iowa Municipalities and $1,000 a
year to a poultry .association were intro
duced. LesUlatlre Bills.

Applying; for n Pardon.
A hearing waa given today by the pardons
committee of the legislative to the rases
of Haley and Robluird and Frank Rains
barger. The Haley and Rohbard case Is
one In which tho two are serving time for
a murder In Dubuque eleven years ago.
Haley Is editor of the Prison Press and a
shrewd man. He prepared a pamphlet for
the members of the legislature which con-
1 talned the statement of their case. The
two men admit that they had held up and
robbed a woman the night before the mur
der was discovered, but claim they did not
murdrr the men and that there was no real
evidence against them. Th petition was
resisted by the county attorney of Dubuque,
Who came here for that purpose. In the
case of Ralnsbarger, who has been In the
penitentiary many years, a strong petition
was presented, nnd the attorney who prose
cuted the case originally appeared to ask
that he be pardoned.
