TROUBLE FOR FAKE RAlERS Leon Loiier and Ed Moon Are Now Under Arrest in Denver. INDICTMENT STANDS AGAINST THEM HERE Accused of Rein Tardea to the tele brated Webb City Fraud, by Which Many Were Fleered Oat of Money. Sheriff Cousins received a dispatch yes terday announcing the arrest of Leon Lo iier and Ed Moore In Denver. Colo. The men are under Indictment here on charge of conspiring to defraud Charles Gregory and William Barker of this city In connec tion with an alleged fake foot race at Webb City, Mo., last January. Anticipating their early arrest Sheriff Cousins two days ago sent to Pes Moines for requisition papers, and as soon as they reach him will start for Denver to bring the men back, tinder the indictment their ball has been placed at $2,000 each. Leon Lozfer, who has made Council Bluffs his home for a number of years, Is a well known sprinter. It Is alleged thst- he and Ed Moore "framed" up the deal whereby Gregory and Barker were induced to go to Webb City and part with their bank roll, amounting to over $5,000. According to the testimony of Gregory and Barker before the grand Jury, they were Induced by Loiter and Moore to go to Webb City to witness and place their money on a foot race between Loxler and John Grim, who is known In sporting circles as "Cash" Orim. They were given to understand that the race was a dead cinch for Orim, but that the Webb City people were prepared to place their good money on Lozler. Grim is considered to be by far the faster sprinter of the two, but when he looked like win ning the race he stumbled and fell and Lo zler came under the tape first. When they had parted with their money Gregory and Barker tumbled to the fact that they had been played tor suckers and Incidentally they learned that there were others, and among the number friends of theirs in Council Bluffs. Charles Huber. alderman from the First ward, testified before the grand Jury that three years ago be had been Induced to go to Webb City on a similar errand and had been mulcted to the tune of $1,800. Huber, however, 'who is a giant In stature and physical strength, recovered his money from the Webb City syndicate at the point of a revolver. John Black of Grlswold, former member of the Board of County Supervisors, also had been caught In the drag-net of the Webb City outfit and dropped $7,000 In the same manner that Gregory and Parker lost their wealth. Black in some manner succeeded In Inducing the Webb City backers to return him his money. Charles Morse, a traveling man. and Charles Nickolson, former chief of the Council Bluffs fire department, testified be fore the grand Jury to being approached by Mooro and offered Inducements to go to Webb City to assist In carrying out the deal, but they declined. The testimony be fore the grand Jury showed that Lozter ad mitted that he and Moore each received $1,800 for their part In the alleged fake foot race. It Is alleged that the entire deal to de fraud Gregory and Barker was fixed up In this city, hence the indictments here. Dr. F. P. Bellinger Is home from a trip to Nebraska. For auditor R. V. INNES. traders Fall to Register. As had been antclpated the last day of registration, yesterday, for the election next Tuesday resulted In the addition of several hundred names to the lists. A rough estimate made last night when the regis tration boards closed their books at 9 o'clock Indicated that 600 names had been registered durlngvtbe day. This, with the registration on the first two days will bring up the total to close upon 800. Both par ties had their workers out yesterday round ing up the stay-at-homes and every effort was made to secure a full registration. There was nothing to Indicate that any large number of the men employed on the Great Western construction registered, and the returns from the precincts In which the camps are located showed that the reported scheme of the democrats to register the graders hsd failed to work.

TO MEET ENGLISH STATESMEN Dlstlaaalshed Party Will Help Wel come Kmperor Wllllona to King Kdward'a House Pnrty. BERLIN, Nov. 1 Emperor William will meet no fewer than eight English cabinet ministers at King Edward s house party at Sandrlngham. and among them will be Colonial Secretary Chamberlain. When- Count Wolff-Metternlch. the Ger man ambassador In London, was here In Auguat he told the British ambassador, Sir Frank C. Laecelles, that the state of En glish opinion toward Germany troubled him and he expressed regret at the fact that tbe British foreign office apparently felt toward the German government as coldly as did the British public. The eount added that the British foreign office absolutely would not lift a finger to co-operate with German diplomacy. In any part of the world anything Germany sug gested was treated with Indifference and German policy was looked upon without confidence. Ambassador Lascelles replied that If such was the count's experience, he, too, regretted it. But what could the British ministers think when one of them was treated as Mr. Chamberlain had been treated? Emperor William during hla visit to England two years ago talked over with Mr. Chamberlain the desirability of a frank understanding between the United States. Great Britain and Germany regarding com mon action abroad where their Interests were In common, or where a single power slone waa Interested. Mr. Chamberlain approved the Idea and his Anglo-Germano-American speech fol lowed. Chancellor von Buelow repudiated the whole thing and made Mr. Chamber lain in some degree ridiculous. The conversation of which the foregoing Is the substance was repeated by Count Wolff-Metternlch to one or two of his diplomatic associates and obtained a lim ited circulation. His descriptions to Em peror William of British hostility sre sup posed to have contributed toward the ar rangement for his majesty's present TlBit to England. CRITICISE, FORMER DIPLOMAT Sir Horace Rnmbold ft Irs I'p Hornet's Nest by Making Public Once State Secrets, LONDON, Nov. L No recent publication has stirred up more comment, adverse and otherwise, than the Austrian reminiscences of Sir Rumbold, the former British am bassador at Vienna, published In the Na tional Review. The continental press, outside of Austria, Is unanimous in censuring the outspoken writer. The National Zeitung of Berlin, protesting against Sir Horace's character ization of Germany as "England's poten tially dangerous and unrelenting foe," asks whether Great Britain has many "such curious diplomats," who take advantage of their retirement from official life to place at the disposal of their countrymen ex periences gained during active service. The Dally Chronicle in the same con nection, raises tbe question: "Should diplomats ever be unmuzzled.'" and concludes: While Sir Horace has been very India- . creet. it must be admitted that it is some times the best part of discretion to look facts fairly in the face. This country de sires to live In peace and concord with nil the other powers, and we cannot approve any attempt to establish International ven dettas. But It Is the part of prudence to recognize potential foes. The very proees of recognition sometimes averts their po tentiality. Incidentally, a correspondent of the Dally Chronicle contributes a story, for which he vouches, to the effect that during the South African war Emperor Francis Joseph sent Lord Roberts sn Austrian field gun of a new pattern, which was effectively used against the Boers during the advance on Pretoria.
