STIFF FIGHT FOR TREASURER IN SIGHT Several Also Seek Sheriff's Post, While Coatest Is Likely for Noml. aatloa for Saperlateadeat of Schools. Friends of J. P. Greenshlelda, while ad mitting that they were surprised at the remarkable Strength shown by Emil Leffert at the city primaries on Saturday night, are not discouraged, but are even sanguine that when tho convention meets on Tues day tho nomination for county treasurer will fall to Oreenshlelds. On the other hand, Emil Leffert and his supporters were yesterday feeling even more encour aged than on Saturday. Returns from the country precincts, they claim, show that Leffert developed greater strength than they had anticipated throughout the county and they feel confident that nothing can now wrest the nomination from him. Neola township elected a delegation which la said to be favorable to Leffert, and the delegations from Lewis, Hasel Dell, Rock ford and Silver Creek are also Claimed for him. Oreenshlelds, however, will have sev eral of the country precinct delegations, as will Conslgney, making It a three-cornered fight. It Is understood none or the coun try delegations Is Instructed as to the treasurer. Tl ere was soma talk yesterday In the city of a dark horse being sprung at the last moment for the nomination in the event of Oreenshlelds being unable to make It. Tight Raea for Sheriff. Next to the nomination for treasurer. In terest la centered In that for sheriff. Ed Blade will have the Knox township delega tion and McKee the Carson delegation, but what other strength they will develop Is problematical. Captain Cousins, the pres ent Incumbent, who Is seeking a renomlna tlon for a third term, will undoubtedly make a good showing In the convention, but It Is generally conceded the nomination will fall to Ed Canning, who will have as a starter. It Is said, fully two-thirds of the city delegates and probably more than one of the country precincts. With the exception of that for county superintendent of schools, there la not likely to be much contest for the other nominations, although there are several candidates for the two nominations for members of tho Board of Supervisors. County Superintendent McManus, who Is seeking a third term, will. It Is expected, meet with considerable opposition from the country precincts, which favor the nomina tion of a man from the east end. It la said also that many of the country pre cincts are atrongly opposed to' the third term proposition, and this will likely re sult In the nomination of Prof. Callllet of Macedonia.

' In opening Governor Mickey referred to the pleasure It gave him to greet an Iowa audience as he had been born In Iowa a fact of which he was proud, although he was recently proud of the fact that he lived In Nebraska.

President Says Caltare Mast Reach Both Up and Down to Bo of Service. GRINNELL. Ia., June 7. (Special Tele gramsPresident Bradley preached elo quently today to a graduating class of forty-three from Isaiah 50, Iv, "The Lord God hath given me the tongue of learning that I should know how to apeak a word In season to him that Is weary." In a discourse rich In historical refer ence, scriptural allusions and inspiration there was the central thought that all scholarship and culture to be of service to the world must reach not only up, but down Into the humblest home and uplift the soul weary with the performance of menial duties, even as Christ's heavenborn Inspiration and sympathy were extended to the commonest of mortals. In hla closing worda to the class he exhorted them to let their education give tham a kindlier re gard for others and to hold as an obliga tion to transmit to others the Inspiration their college course had brought to them.

WElffl, Local forecast Official PROHIBITION LAW IN DANGER Important Test Cue Taken to Federal Supreme Court on Error. ALL HINGES ON C 0. D. SALES Q.aettoa Is Raised Whether Express Cosapaay Is Agent for Seller or for. Parehaser Iowa Jndges Differ. t (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, la, June 7. (Special.) The most Important test case taken from Iowa to the United Vtates supreme court for many years is the one in which Justice Brewer has just granted a writ of error In order that the decision of the Iowa court may be reviewed at Washington Immedi ately. The case is vital to the Iowa pro hibitory liquor law. If the supreme court of the United States declares that the state court Is wrong the door will be again opened for utter disregard of prohibition In Iowa In substantially the same man ner that was followed when the "original package saloons" were opened and main tained. The writ of error was granted In the case of the State of Iowa against Ameri can Express company, a case coming from Tama county, where the agent of the ex press company had received sundry quart bottles of Intoxicating liquors which had been shipped to customers from Rock Island, 111., on each of which there was a C. O. D. collection -charge In addition to the express charge. The liquors were seized and condemned by a Justice of the peace. Judge Burnham released the liquors and the state appealed.' The state su preme court reversed the district court and upheld the justice of the peace. Where tho Sale la Hade. The queatlon at issue, and It was the only question involved, was as to the character of such a proceeding. Where were the sales actually made 7 Is a C. O. D. sale to be deemed an absolute sale or a contract of sale which is not complete until actual delivery to the buyer T The case was extensively argujd by Attorney General Mullan for the state and by J. C. Wlllett and J. C. Cook for the express company. At the October term the opinion of the court was rendered. It was a "per curiam" decision, and It contains a most interesting statement of the Issue Involved and discloses, wiat la more Important, that neither the state court nor other courts are at all unanimous as to what should be the rule. In regard to the cen tral question the opinion stated: "If the question were res Integra in this state a majority of the court, as now con stituted, would be inclined to the view that under such a shipment, the carrier Is the agent of the buyer for the purpose of transportation, and of the seller for the purpose of retention of possession and col lection of the purchase price, and that as a necessary corollary title passed to the buyer on delivery to the carriers." Settled by Previous Decision. But the court states that the question Is foreclosed by the decision iu the case of State against United States Express com pany, In 70th Iowa, where It was held 'that the express . company ia agent of the consignor' wlth'-authorlty o transfer title to the property Upon payment of the pur chase price. That opinion, which was written by the late Judge Rothrock, has stood unquestioned until this case and some others like It appeared In the court. and the court says It would no doubt be challenged at this time but for the opinion of the United States supreme court in the Rhodes against Iowa case. The Iowa opin ion has been sustained also In other, states. Continuing the court said: "We are now asked to change ths rule. to the end that our prohibitory laws, passed In the exercise of the police powers of the state, may be rendered less Irksome, and express companies be allowed not only to transport liquors Into the state which of course they may do but also to collect the purchase price for tna vendors. The baneful effect of such a decision is easily Imagined. Everyone knows that an over ruling of the express company case would b'3 followed by the establishment in every community of places for the sale of In toxicants which would be quite as harmful and free from regulation and restraint as were the "original package saloons" be fore the enactment of the Wilson bill. The purpose and intent of that act la quite generally understood. That it was not Intended to Interfere with legitimate acts of transportation ot property between the states, nor to prevent a resident of this state from shipping liquors into It from another state for his own consumption and use. Is freely admitted. But It Is just as clear to our minds that ft was not the Intention of congress to authorize a carrier to engage not only In the transportation of property, but to act as an agent for the seller in completing the sale and col lecting the purchase price. Qaeetloa of Interstate Commerce. "Supported as we are in our position by respectable authority) fortlned by the thought that we are upholding the policy of this state toward the traffic In Intox icants and. fully believing that, the doc trine announced, while not supported per haps by the weight of judicial authority. Is one which will do much good and no harm, we are constrained to adhere to It, on the broad ground of stare decisis, which Is one of the safeguards of our judicial system. This decision relieves us from the necessity of considering the other question as to whether or not the gooda are pro tected by reaaon of the commerce clause of the federal constitution. However, some of the members of the court would reach the same result, had It been found that ths title to the property passed when delivered to the carrier in the state of Illinois. Con ceding that to be true, they are of the opinion that the transaction was not In any fair sense Interstate commerce pro tected by the constitution of the United States from state regulation. The express company In effect engaged In the business of selling, through agents In this statt, at retail. Intoxicating liquors, shipped by It for that purpose from the state of Illi nois. .This was a' mere device, as It seems to some of us, to evade the police laws of this commonwealth, and that the doc trine of 'original packages' or of freedom of Interstate commerce does not apply to a business of this character. In assuming to collect the purchase price and to hold possession until the price was paid. It was In no proper sense engaged In Interstate commerce Others of the court are of contrary opinion: they think the collec tion of the purchase price was a mere Incident to the transportation of goods and that ths case should be ruled by Rhodes against Iowa. In the event we were con strained to overrule the express company case In the 70th Iowa. None of us, as be fore stated, are disposed to question that decision at this time." In view of this manifest wide difference of opinion on the supreme bench of Iowa as to what should be the rule In regard to C. O. D. shipments of liquor Into Iowa, the attorneys for the express company have taken the case to the supreme court of the United State, where they say they have a fair chance of securing a reversal of the ease, which would make a oomplete change In regard to the situation In the prohibition counties of Iowa. The Iowa weather and crop bureau Is gathering definite Information as to the acreage and condition ot the crops In Iowa. It was Intended that a report should be made that would show the actual condition on June 1, but the storms of the past two weeks seriously Interfered with this plan. The crop reporters commenced to send In thotr reports a few days before June 1 and presumed upon fair weather for the completion of the work In hand. Then catne the storms which stopped all work. The reports are therefore regarded aa ln acurate. But even at best at this time they would be faulty as to the exact acreage of corn, for It Is recognised that In a large share of the state there Is still planting to be done If the weather .holds good; but It is probable that a supple mental report on acreage will be Issued some time during the month. All reports Indicate that the acreage of corn will be much smaller than usual and that potatoes and other elmllar crops the acreage will not be nominal. The monthly report will be Issued In a few days. Travelers who have come Into Des Moines report that on Saturday and today many farmers were in their fields plowing and planting and if the weather remains as good as It has been the past two days there will be a fairly -ood crop. Seek High Water Crops. The faculty of the State Agricultural college has been appealed to for Informa tion as to the best kind of vegetables and crops to plant in the gardens and dis tricts overflowed by water so that some thing may be raised this year. Thousands of Iowa people have lost their gardens, not only In the cities but In the country and along all the streams. The state col lege people have been asked to furnish some definite Information. The fruit crop of the state has not been Injured as greatly aa had been feared. The secretary of the Btate Horticultural society reports that the greatest loss of fruit la In the Dea Molnea valley and next In the Nlshnabotna valley. The smaller fruits are fully good In the northeastern parts of the state, hlle the strawberry crop Is good all over and of fair quality. Silas Wilson of Atlantic a veteran nurseryman and fruit grower, has been appointed by Dr. Bailey of Mt. Ayr, the committeeman In charge of the fruit and vegetable exhibit 'for Iowa at the St. Louis exposition, to have full charge of that ex hibit and baa accepted and entered upon his work. Wllaon last aummer sold his nursery and la not now engaged In the business. He was a former president of the state society and received Its endorse ment for the position to which he has Just been appointed. It Is planned to gather fruit now and to place It in cold storage and have It kept for the exposition at St. Louis. Mrs. Hossaelc Net Tet Released. Mrs. Margaret Hossack of New Virginia Is not yet free from the indictment against her for killing her husband two years sgo. She waa Indicted and twice tried, once be ing sentenced to life Imprisonment. The Board of Supervisors of Warren county after the second trial notified the county attorney at Madison county that the board did not want any further expense on ac count of the trial and virtually asked dis missal. The county attorney has refused to move, but haa consulted the two judges who have eat at tiiala In the case, who have advlaed against letting the case drop now. The Indictment will be allowed to remain and the case appear on the docket In Madison county for some months In the hope that new evidence may be secured. Mrs. Hossack Is out on ball.

MOLINEDX STAYS WEST Rents Home at Bioui Falls and Prepares for Permansnt Residence. DESIRE FOR ALIMONY GIVEN AS REASON Husband la Bald to Be Ready to Fight Dl-roree Case Now Pend lac In loath Dakota, Courts. I SIOUX FALLS, 8. D., June 7. (Special.) Greatly to the surprise of those who have anticipated that Mrs. Roland, B. Molineux would leave Slcrux Falls In a few weeka freed from her matrimonial bonda, aha haa rented a dwelling house In this city and apparently Intends to continue her resi dence for an Indefinite period. It is said she paid her rent for two months In advance and will, without delay, give up her apartments In the Cataract hotel, where she has resided since coming to' Sioux Falls last November. Just what reason actuated Mrs. Molineux to make this move Is a subject of con jecture and Is Interpreted In various ways. Woald Make Residence Legal. One theory is that under recent decisions a temporary residence does not give the courts of the state jurisdiction over resi dents of another, and that she feared her residence here could not be shown to have been established and maintained in good faith. It is no 'secret that scores of divorces have been granted In the courts of South Dakota to persons who had maintained only a semblance ot a residence In the state, and they left, after procuring di vorces, fully satisfied that their decrees were as legal and binding as could be se cured anywhere In the United States. Quite naturally, none of the parties In Interest will discuss the matter In any of Its bearings. However. It Is believed tn some well-Informed quarters that Mrs. Molineux has been Influenced by someone to apply for alimony as well as a divorce, and that she Is desirous that her compli ance with the residence provision of the South Dakota statutes be strictly tn ac cordance with the law, so that. If It comes to a legal battle with her husband over the question of alimony, she would not run the risk of being defeated by the opposing attorneys raising the point that her resi dence in the state vis not established In good faith. ' Mrs. Mollenux's action was certainly a surprise to the other members of the di vorce colony, and has furnished fresh food for gossip. Recently there have been rumors to the effect that her divorce suit will be con tested by her husband, and this move on her part, doubtless upon the advice of her attorney, would Indicate that the rumors In reference to this and the question of ali mony had quite a substantial foundation.
