CONFESSES FORNEY MURDER
Prisoner in Miisonri Jail Eayi He Killed
CouDoil Bluffi Siloon Keeper.
GIVES THE CIRCUMSTANCES CORRECTLY
After Maklna; the Confession Missouri
I'rlanner Attempts to Commit
Suicide and Nearly ftnrreeds
In Itolna o.
Placing; reliance upon an alleired confes
slon made by Matt Collins, a prisoner In
the county J. ill at Kirksvllle, Mo., to tha
effect that he, Collins, and not W. C. Roll
ers, was the man who shol and killed
Saloonkeeper Bert Forney, and, believing
from what he had been told by Collins that
there was a rpwnrd of 11,200 for the cap
ture of Forney's murderer. Sheriff R. N.
Roberts of Kirksvllle came to Council
Bluffs nnd yesterday conferred with the
authorities and attorneys for Rogers. Ills
dream of securing; the 11.200 was, however,
rudely shattered and Assistant County At
torney Hess and other county authorities
declined to place any credence In Collins
alleged confession. Sheriff Roberts re
turned last evening to Kirksvllle thoroughly
disappointed, but declaring tils belief that
the man who killed Forney was In Jail In
Kirksvllle.
According to the story related by Sheriff
Roberts, Collins and a companion were ar
rested In Kirksvllle on January 11 for ped
dling "phony" jewelry without a license.
Collins claimed to have been reared near
Mount Ayr, Ia and that a brother, W. W.
Dewey, was still living there. Sheriff Rob
erts wrote, but was not able to get an
answer from the brother.
Shortly after being committed to the
county Jail Collins, so Sheriff Roberts
stated, made a statement to the night
watchman In charge of the Jail, named
Kelly, that he had killed Saloonkeeper
Forney in Council Bluffs and that there
was a reward of $l,2"l for his capture.
The name night Collins attempted to com
mit suicide by severing the arteries In his
wrists with a piece of metal from a French
hnrp belonging to one of the prisoners.
When discovered he was In a precarious
condition, but did not die.
The next day, when he still believed he
was goiug to die, Collins, so Sheriff Rob
erts stated, repeated the statement to him.
The statement made by Collins to him,
Sheriff Roberts said, was that Collins and
his companion came to Council Bluffs In
the afternoon, both financially stranded,
and decided on robbing Forney's saloon,
where they went to get a drink. They
hung ubout the 'place until late at night,
when they entered the saloon by the "Sun
day" door, which Sheriff Roberts took to
mean the rear door. Two men were sit
ting at u card table and, Instead of comply
ing with the order to hold up their hands,
one of them reached for his revolver. Col
lins at once began to shoot, when one f the
two card players disappeared, and Clra'lns,
thinking he had gone behind the BVve,
ired a shot Into the stove. At tha second
,hot the other man fell near the front door
and Collins and bis companion at once
made their escape without attempting to
secure the cash from tha register.
This story as related by Sheriff Roberts
tallies In almost every particular as re
gards the crime enacted in the saloon with
the story told by Chaney at the Inquest and
published in the papers.
Assistant County Attorny Hess, who, on
being Informed of Collins' alleged confes
sion, went to Kirksvllle and Interviewed
the man, did not place the slightest cre
dence In his statement to Jailer Kelley.
When Mr. Hess asked Collins In the pres
ence of Kelley if he had made a statement
to the effect that he had killed Forney,
Collins said to Mr. Hess, "Why, .hey are
trying to string you," and to Kelly, "What
sort of a Job are you trying to put up on
me, anyhow?" He denied ever making such
a statement and told Mr. Hess that he had
not been In Council Bluffs for several
years. .
So little credence does County Attorney
Klllpack and Mr. Hess place In Collins'
story that no effort will be made to bring
the man here. It Is likely, however, that
Rogers' attorneys will make use of it In
their efforts to secure a new trial.

PACKING COMPANY BACKISO DOW.
Intimation It Will Ask Boana Be Paid
In Advance.
Indications are that the American
Dreesed Beef company of Kansas City,
which, through Its acting president, Charles
E. McBweeney, proposed to establish a
packing house and stock yard In Council
Bluffs under certain conditions, is now
preparing to back down. One of the con
ditions proposed by the company to Insure
It locating here was that the cltlsens of
Council Bluffs should guarantee the pay
ment of a bonus of 2R cents on each head
of cattle killed tip to 600,000, making an ag
gregate of $125,000.
When before the Commercial club Pres
ident McSweeney stated that this bonne
was not to be paid until the cattle were
killed, but the company was to receive some
guarantee that the money would be forth
coming at the proper time. Now, It Is
said, the company Is anxious that this en
tire bonus be paid before It locates here or
the people of Council Bluffs have a guar
antee that It will fulfill Its share of the
contract. At least this Is the Impression
gained from a letter received yesterdny
by a prominent business man of this city
from a banker In Kansas City who Is
understood to be one of the men financing
the American Dressed Beef company. The
Kansas City man asks in his letter what
would be the feeling here If the company
demnnded that the entire bonus of 1126,000
be made available at once and not when
the requisite number of cattle Bhould bo
killed. The letter being a private one no
names are given, out, but It Is understood
that at a meeting of the executive commit,
tee of the Commercial club yesterday after
noon the matter was discussed and the
consensus of opinion was that no such
proposition as making the entire bonus
available at once before any cattle are
killed would be entertained for a minute.

CUMMINS DETECTS ERROR
Eare. Propoied Constitutional Amendment
from KnocVont In Court.
INQUIRY ABOUT THE HEAD RESOLUTION
Japanese Consul nt Chicago Wantns
to Kaow Something Regarding Its
Meaning Evans Declines
to Be Regent.
tFrom a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Feb. 26 (Special.) Gov
ernor Cummins is responsible for a
discovery today that will at least prevent
the defeat of the plan to have blennlnl
elections In Iowa on account of any defect
In the method of presenting the matter to
the public. When the resolution providing
for submission to the people of a constitu
tional amendment dispensing with elec
tions In Iowa every other year was pre
sented to him for signature after it had
passed both houses and had been enrolled
and signed by the presiding officers of both
houses the governor found that the title
was not as It should be. The resolution Is
a resolution of the Twenty-ninth general
assembly referred to the Thirtieth for ap
proval and then to the people, but the reso
lution as passed at this time Is styled one
of the Thirtieth general assembly, as If
there hsd been nothing preceding It. The
defect was called to the attention of the
leading lawyers of the legislature, who
agreed that It was dangerous to permit
the question to go to a vote of the people
In that form. Inasmuch as the supreme court
had been compelled to declare void a sim
ilar amendment adopted three years ago
because of a mere technical defect in the
manner of Its passage. The resolution was
therefore today recalled from the governor
and will be passed through both houses
again with the title amended to read like
tire resolution which passed the assembly
two years ago.
The house Indorsed the Hepburn-Dolllver
bill in congress, 63 to 22. A resolution was
Introduced to also Indorse the Dolllver
bankruptcy repeal bill.
Fonda for the Exposition.
In the senate the bill appropriating $20,000
as additional funds to be used by the Iowa
commission for exhibition at the St. Louis
exposition was adopted. Only four sen
ators. Harper, Lyons, Wilson of Clinton
and Young of Washington, voting against it.
The senate also passed the bill appropri
ating $10,000 for the use of the Iowa Na
tional "Guard to make up a deficit. The
organisation funds for the payment of
armory rents and for drill practice by the
guards has been depleted and this bill was
passed to afford relief.
Bills were also passed by the senate em
powering the governor to execute a deed
to certain state lands sold some time ago,
but to which the title waa faulty, and house
file No. 14 giving city councils the power
to make appointments to vacancies in
elective city offices when death of the in
cumbent occurs previous to the city elee
tlon. The object of this measure is to
prevent the holding of special elections.
with the cost of the same, for officers to fill
unexpired terms of deceased.

Mahlon Head of Jefferson in the form of
a nernorial to the government at Wash
ington, requesting that the government re
member the traditional history of the rela
tions of friendship between the Russian
government and that of the I'nlted States
and to take no action in the present east
ern war that would Indicate forgetfulness
of this history or indicate preference for
Japan. The memorial referred especially
to tha fact that during the war of the re
bellion the Russian government showed Its
friendliness In a material way and that
the Japanese are commercial rivals of
ours In the Orient. The memorial had no
sooner been started than an Inquiry came
from the Japanese consul at Chicago ask
ing for Information as to the purport and
meaning of the resolution and as to whether
the memorial represented the sentiments
of the Iowa people. It Is learned that the
Japanese government Is keeping close
watch on all such movements and all con
suls are Instructed to secure all the In
formation possible and send to the home
government. Mr. Head aays that the me
morial does not look to any open friend
ship for Russia, but rather to a strict neu
trality In view of what the Russians have
always done.
