William Aylosworth of 755 Mill street re cently returned from Spokane, Wash., where he was employed by the Her Piano company. Monday he recognized in tne per son of W. II.' Morris, an employe of the Schmoller A Mueller Piano company of this city, a man who, under the name of W.'P.

Aylesworth "tipped off' the police and Monday night Sergeant Jack O'Nell drove out to the residence of 8. R. Gullck on Up per Harrison street, close to the city 11m Us, where Morris, alias Given, and his wife were llvlncr, Gullck being a cousin of Mor ris. Morris, when Informed of the officer's mlxslon, Is stated not to have evidenced surprise and merely requested that he be permitted to go to his room on the upper floor to secure his overcoat. To this Ser geant O'Nell readily consented, but after waiting down stairs for a considerable time without Morris returning, the officer de cided to go after him. An open window In the bedroom disclosed the fact that Mor ris had made his escape by Jumplnr onto the roof of the kitchen and from there to the ground. Back of the house is consid erable timber, and into this Morris had 'ev idently made his escape. While the local authorities had not re ceived any official notification that Morris, alias Green, was wanted In Spokane, Ayles worth declared he would be willing to as sume the responsibility of tiling an Informa tion charging him with being a fugitive from Justice. Morris has been working about a month for the Council Bluffs branch of the Schmoller ft Mueller com pany, where he was well thought of. Business Is the life of trade.

GOVERNOR TAKES TIME TO CONSIDER Farmers, Fruit Growers and Meat Prodnerrs lloldlna Their Annual Conventions at Pes Moines. (From A Staff Correspondent.) PES MOINES. Dec. 11. -(Special.) Louis Bus.e will not be hanged. Five of the rtx members of the supreme court today ad dressed a communication to Governor Cum mins nuking that his sentence be com muted to life imprisonment. This action of the supreme court follows a conference held yesterday with the governor and E. A. Dawson, Husso's nttorney. On the first j hearing of the case by the supremo court 1 oil the first appeal, the supremo court was j evenly divided on the question or sustain ing the lower court. The court Is com posed of six members. Three favored af firming the decision of the lower court and three favored a reversal end a new trial. According to law when tho court Is evenly dlvldVd tin? lower court's nctlon Is af firmed. The sentence of the lower court was the death penalty. The case has now gone through nil the stages of law and every effort made to save Busse's life un der the law. Now the court says to the governor that It cannot change Its opinion and Interpretation of the law, but fearing thnt the three members who favored a reversal may possibly be rlsht they think clemency should step In and at least save Busse's life. Governor Cummins therefore granted a reprieve until January 3 In ord.-r to have further time to consider the merits of the case. Formers Meetings Open. , The State Farmers Institute and the State Horticultural society met today. The first In the rooms of the Department of Agriculture In the state house and the other In the rooms of the Horticultural so ciety. Hon. Lafe Young Is confined to the j Methodist hospital and unable to deliver the address of welcome at the Farmers In stitute. His place was taken by Henry Wallace, The principal adrepe before the Farmers Institute was by H. W. Holllng wood, editor of the Rural New Yorker, who told the farmers how the eastern farmer with high-priced fertilizers on low priced land I3 able to compete with the western farmer, saying that the menace of the eastern farmer Is the large cities which are corrupting the farmer youth by his at tempting to ape the city rich. At the horticultural meeting President Bunvap of Clear Lake In his anual address asserted that freicht rates are far from satisfactory to Iowa fruit men and that they are discriminated against. He nrgued for a monthly publication by the society and a state experimental grounds; a uni form system of Judging apples. It Is the unanimous opinion of horticulturists that this yenr's apple crop Is the best the state has raised. Opposition to Phillips. Directors from the even numbered con gressional districts will be elected tomor row to the state department of agriculture. The only opposition to the re-elertlon of any of the Ave Is to O. W.
