According to Sheriff Canning, Charles
Btevenson. who wss sentenced to serve one
year In the county Jail for complicity in
the theft of several overcoats from the
pawnshops of 8. Friedman and 8. Bnyder,
Democrats of Pottawattamie Coaaty , made his escape several days ago. Accord-
Will Nam Twenty-On Delegates
to the State Convention
t Waterloo.
Three political conventions are to be held
In this city tomorrow. They are the re
publican convention of the Ninth congree
sional district, the republican convention
of the Fifteenth Judicial district, and the
democratic county convention. All three
are scheduled for the morning In the county
court house.
The republican convention of th Fif
teenth Judicial district has been oaJlsd
for 10:30 a. m. and Its business will prob
ably be completed before the republican
congressional convention begins, whloh Is
scheduled for 11 a. m. The democratic
county convention is also called for the
morning.
The republican Judicial convention has
to name three candidates tor Judges of the
district bench and Judges A. B. Thomell,
W. R. Green and O. D. Wheeler will be
renominated by acclamation. The work of
the convention will be merely perfunctory
as there Is no opposition to the renomlna
tlon of the three Judges and It la under
stood that speech-making Is to be dis
pensed with In order that the delegates
may attend the congressional convention.
The Fifteenth Judicial district comprises
nine counties, which are entitled to repre
sentation in the convention as follows:
Mill .. 12
Audubon W
Cass 1
Fremont 12
Harrison 18
D. E. Stuart of this city, chairman of the
Judicial committee, will call the convention
to order and Earl Peters of Clarinda will

Congressional Convention.
The republican congressional convention
promises to be a love feast. Congressman
Walter I. Smith will be renominated by
acclamation and then the convention and
others present, and a big crowd Is looked
for, will have the pleasure of listening to
an address from the popular representative
from the Ninth district In congress. It is
probable that the convention may adopt
some resolutions.
L. 8. Koblnson, chairman of the congres
sional committee, will call , the convention
to order and will name Hon. Shirley Glllll
land of Glenwood as temporary chairman.
The counties forming the Ninth congres
sional dlstrlot and the representation they
are entitled to in the convention are
follows:
ling to Frank M. Gallup, Jailer of th county
bastUe, Stevenson was safe and sound be
hind lock and key In cell No. 6 last night.
It develops that the county authorities
have sought to keep the escape of Bt even
son from the public. They hsd hoped, al
though they admit their expectations were
none too great, to recapture him and have
him back behind the bars without any one
on the outside being the wiser. But the
feline made Its escape from the bag yes
terday.
When Jailer Gallup was questioned ovor
th 'phone last evening he asserted that
Btevenson was safe In Jail.
Sheriff Canning, when asked regarding
the report that Stevenson had escaped,
said: "Yes, Stevenson escaped, If you can
call It that. He simply walked away and
forgot to leave his addrees behind. Btev
enson was examined by County Physician
Snyder and Dr. Macrae and both physicians
gave It as their opinion that the man would
lapss Into oonsumptlon If he did not get
some fresh air. They said w would have a
sick man on our hands If we kept him
locked up much longer. We decided after
consulting with County Attorney Hess to
make a trusty out of Stevenson and give
him the freedom of the Jail. He took the
first opportunity to "git." We did not say
anything about It as we thought It Just
possible that we might recapture him be
fore he had got very far. I don't know
that any one will grieve much If he keeps
away."
Stevenson had served two terms In the
penitentiary. He was arrested with John
Fosdlck and Charles Lloyd for the thefts
from Snyder's and Friedman's pawnshops.
Lloyd and Fosdlck each received six
months, but are out on appeal bonds.
Stevenson, on account of his criminal rec
ord, was given the limit of one year In the
county Jail.
Stevenson, while awaiting trial, manufac
tured a saw from a steel spring taken from
his shoe and hsd nearly sawed his way to
liberty when discovered by Jailer Gallup.
He was Indicted for assisting prisoners In
the county Jail to escape, but was ac
quitted because the prisoners had not sue
ceeded In escaping.

COFFEE AND PURE FOOD LAW
Blender, of High Grades Bay New Statute
Will Destroy Their Business.
SMALLER RAILROADS FILE PROTESTS
Offlelnls Allege thnt Their Assess
ments Are Mneh Higher In Pro
portion to Tnlne Than
Larger Line.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINES, July !1 (Special. )-Th
Iowa pur food law and the Mocha-Java
coffee buslners ar st cross purposes and
there seems to be little chance of harmony
being secured. The pure food law requires
that if an article of food Is not exactly
what It Is claimed to be It must bo labeled
explaining what it I. If a food is adulter
ated or is a mixture, compound, combina
tion, Imitation or blend it must bear a
label saying: "This is composed of
the following Ingredients and none other,"
naming all the Ingredients, preservative
and coloring matter as well. If it is not
adulterated there 1 no need of a label of
any kind.
In th manufacture of coffee th height
of the art Is to secure a blend of two or
more growths of coffee. It Is claimed that
there Is no Mocha-Java coffee on the mar
ket The pure, coffee of the Mocha-Java
kind 1s so strong that It cannot be used
alone, and the art In Its manufacture comes
In properly blending It with milder varie
ties. Under the new pure food law the
mixture is deemed an adulteration and
must be so labeled, showing the Ingredi
ents. Coffee men are claiming that this
will kill the coffee business and they fear
that the Mocha-Java brands will decline
In popularity. If the pure Mocha-Java Is
put on the market people can't drink It
and If the blend Is put on the market a
label must be attached telling this fart
and this will. It Is feared, caure the puhjtc
to look askance at the article. A coffee
house traveling man exhibited his wares to
State Food and Dairy Commissioner H. R.
Wright In order to gain some information
on the new law and when he discovered
this fact he asserted that the Mocha-Java
coffee business would be ruined by the
new law.
mall Railroads Object.
The executive council Saturday completed
the assessment of the telephone lines in
the state, of which there are several nun
dred. The council has as yet only touched
on the railroad assessment, which will be
taken up Monday and probably completed
by the close of next week. The smalt rail
roads of the state, which have ever claimed
that they were assessed higher In propor
tion than the larger roads, are this year
making an effort to get the council to scale
them down and add. If any addition Is to be
made, to the bigger roads. This claim of
the small roads that they are over-assrssed
Is baaed on the fact that the per cent the
assessment bears to the gross earnings is
much larger than that of the big lines.
For Instance, the Muscatine North and
South line Is assessed at 117 per cent of
Its gross earnings according to the assess
ment of last year., .The Manchester A
Oneida at 130 per cent, the Tabor & North
ern at 151, Davenport, Rock Island & North
western st 675. the'Alhla & Centervllle at
842, Minneapolis & St. Louis at 124, and so
on. The big lines) on the other hand, are
all assessed at less-than 100 per cent of
their gross earnings. " The Rock Island at
86. the Iowa CentrnLat 9, the Northwest
ern 89, the "Milwaukee 89, Great Western
80. Burlington 9t. .The ' law requires that
the executive council shall take Into con
sideration all phases of the question snd
shall not assess the. railroads on any one
basis,' such as gross earnings, value of
stocks and bond on the market cost of
building, etc. The council has therefore
continually argued to the small roads that
It is forced to consider other things than
gross earnings, but this has been only a
mild salve to their claims of high assessments.
Levy May Be f,ess.
An Increase of $9,3!)8,228 In the taxable
value of real estate and personal property
as shown by the returns to the state aud
itor's office will enable the executive coun
cil to make a slight reduction In the tax
levy this year. Last year It was 8.2 mills.
This year it Is possible to reduce It to 3
mills and still raise the amount of tales
fixed by the legislature to be levied. The
real value of the personal property of the
state as finally figured from the returns is
$451,167,984, as compared with $433,848,492 last
year. The returns this year show the fol

' May Oppose Towner.
There is some possibility that opposition
may develops against Judge H. M. Towner
of Corning as temporary chairman of the
republican state convention which meets
here August 1. Judge Towner has been
selected by the state central committee
In accordance with time honored custom
of the party In this state for the central
committee to make such a selection of the
temporary officers. The heated camralgn
that Is drawing to a close is probably re
sponsible for the opposition to Judge
Towner. Among the Cummins men there
Is some talk now of opposing Towner, with
ex-Oovernor Larrabee as the temporary
chairman. It Is quite possible that the
talk will result In no definite action.
