Word comes from the relatives of Chester
Howe, tho former treasurer of Poweshiek
county, who hns Just been rclenscd from
Helcm prison In Mexico, that ho will re
pay all tho money that he took with him
to Mexico. Howe's ense Is one of the most
Interesting on record and Involved points
of International controversy. After lcnv
lng Poweshiek county, Howe nnd his
brother established themselves In Mexico.
where they entered In business. Chester
acquired renl estate nnd beennio n Mexican
citizen. Soon a startling revelation as
to their character came In tho form of a
request to the Mexican government for
tholr extradition.
Tho Mexlcnn government took the case
under ndvlsemcnt. Mexico had had reason
to complain of Its treatment by tho United
States. Many of Its criminals wero re
fused under the cover of tho plea of "po-
llllcnl offenses." Inasmuch ns Chester
Howo hnd become a Mexican citizen they
refused to deliver him to tho United States
authorities, but tried him on tho rhnrgc
of bringing embezzled funds Into that coun
try. He wns found guilty anil sentenced
to sly years' Imprisonment nnd fined $1,000.
Owing to good behavior he hns been rc
lenscd long beforo tho expiration of his
term. Through Howe's defalcation tho
county lost about $50,000, pnrt of which
has. been repaid by Howe's bondsmen.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 13. Tho final report ot
tho grand Jury, composed of prominent
business men who havo been Investigating
municipal mntters, has been returned,
Twenty-four Indictments, only four of
which aro for minor crimes, aro
mado public. Tho remainder, which
aro against persons not yot In cus
tody, nro withheld. Among tho twenty In
dictments is ono against an olllclul of the
liouso of delegates, who is charged with
attempting to bribe u slate's ultucss
ngnlnst men accused of hlghwny robbery
Ho will bo served with a bench wurrant on
Monday.
Tho Post-Dispatch says of tho report
"Accompanying tho Indictments was the
report of the grand Jury touching their In
vestigations of pnlico bribery nnd election
fraud charges, together with tho result of
their Investigation of public criticism on
tho conduct of tho pollco department,
"Lack of co-operation between the Hoard
of Pollco Commissioners nnd tho chief ot
pollco mils forth censure; corrupt uso of
tho pollco In politics drawn from Instances
durlug tho last election, ns Investigated by
the Jurymen, Is condemned, nnd In this
connection n meeting at tho Planters' hotel
prowling the Inst election, where It Is
barged that tho pollco heads met and ills
ussed tho Instructions to bo given to tho
pollco In their conduct toward tho deputy
sheriffs under a rcpub'llcnn administration,
nro stigmatized by tho Jury as reprehensible.
The Jurymen throw up their hands whcn
thev eomo to that portion of their report
treating of tho many charges, specific and
general, of wholesale election frauds. They
dismiss tho charges as simply appalling
hv rcusnn of their multitude nnd vnrled
character. So vast wos tho cvldenco of
this sort of corruption that tho Jury ex
presses Itself hh utterly Inadequate to copo
with the situation because at tho limited
time at their disposal.
A short chapter of censure is devoted to
tho failure of the mayor to attend tho
meetings of tho pollco board, of which ho
Is an ox-oillclo member by lnw. Tho Jury
savs thnt npposlto political ainilations nrc
no excise for tho persistent, nnd, to them,
studied absence of tho city's chief execu
tive.
Winn room evils nro brnnded ns bolng
nmong the worst Iniquities of municipal
llfo nnd tho evident fnllurn of tho pollco
to crush this violation of good morals re
ceives a brief but sharp rebuke nnd tho
efforts by civil Influences to eradicate tho
sin nre applauded with tho admonition that
tho pollco exert n moro potent power in
dealing with tho issue.
The condition of tho city's eleemosynary
Institutions nro classed Us wretched. Whnt
tho Jurymen saw during personnl visits to
tno places is painted in tho most ilepro-
cntory manner nnd tho kind of administra
tion of public affairs making possible such
conditions nro referred to lu nn Ironical
strain.
In tho foregoitig connection tho report
says that enforced economics and over-
rrowdlng nro carried on to such extremes
that so far as they relate to mothods they
havo mado it necessary to employ thero
Is nn uncomfortably closo rotation between
lack of funds and crime.
