DES MO-INHS. July 31. cSpeclnl
Jug Dsnlel F. Coyle of Humboldt Is the
tat' at announced esndldate far the republi
can nomination for the aapreme court
vacancy. Judge Coyle Is a district Judge,
of the Fourteenth Judicial dlotxlct ar hla
ilstrlct take In, the 'whole north half of
the Tenth mnirreeelonal district. Robert
Healy of r"ort Dodge, and Judge Z. A.
Church of Jefferson are lo from the
Tenth congressional district arnT' both are
understood to be candidate for the name
position.
Friends of Senator W. H. Berry of Indla
rtola think they see an Increased likelihood
of hla chance In the situation. They think
that Coyle, Healy Church, Jr.Vana and Hod
on will divide the delegates from the
northern part of tfie slate, Increasing the
chances of a man from the southern part
of the state. Furthermore W. 1L Rally of
this city hts announced bis candidacy and
the candidacy of Judge McHenry and
Judge Brennan of the district bench had
already been announced and the candidacy
of Judge Miller ami Judge Howe Is prophe
cled to be announced shortly, making five
candidates from I'olk county. Berry's
friends think this will throw the support
of the Seventh congressional district to a
man outside of tes Moines, which would
mean himself.
Furthermore, unless Judge Towner of
Corning" or Judge Roberts of Ottumaa anter
the field It seems likely Ferry will be the
cnly candidate In all southern Iowa, out
side of the bunch of candidates In Des
Moines.
Call for Committee Meeting.
Chairman Franke of the republican state
central committee today announced a rail
of the committee for next Tuesday for the
purpose of settling the date of the state
convention. The democratic committee has
been called together for next Monday for
the same purpose.
There Is a renewal today of talk of hav
ing the conventions during the state fair
week In order to get the benefit of the state
fair railroad rate for the delegates. The
troublo with the proportion was that there
was no hall available for the meeting.
Today John Rlmpson of the state fair, said
that If t'.io conventions or either of them
Is called for August 20 or 21 the stock pa
vilion could be used on the state fair
(round. The state fair reduced rates
tart on Wednesday, August 19. The stock
pavilion will be In use for Judging the live
tork beginning August 22. the futr this
year starting on August 22, or three days
earlier than usual. Tho pavilion Is per
haps the coolest place In the state In
which to meet, since It Is a very large
building' with abundance of opportunity for
ventilation and stands away from other
buildings so as to give a chance for a
breese.
'Williams Wants a Pardon.
O. A. Williams, the farmer of Union
county who shot a deputy she Iff who was
serving a writ of attachment on htm, has
asked Governor Cummins for a pardon
or for the commutation of hla sentence
of life Imprisonment to one of a definite
term of years. Williams committed a cold-
. blooded murder that would have been pre
vented had b,e not been too proud to tell
the deputy .that the debt had been paid.
The deputy was sent to the farm to serve
the attachment In satisfaction of a debt.
Before the deputy reached the farm Wil
liams left and went to town and paid off
the debt. When he returned to hla farm
the deputy awaited him. The deputy did
not know the debt had been paid that
day by Williams and Williams knew It,
but would not tell him. Ho denied that
the deputy had the right to serve the nt-
, tachmnnt. but the deputy, believing he was
discharging Ms sworn duty, started tn
read the attachment, and while he read It
was shot by Williams.
Williams Is now tX years old and has
been at Fort Madison penitentiary since
December, 1893, and claims that for 1ft
months he haa lived on nothing but bread
and milk. He has some land In Arkansas
leased and wants to get out so that he
can cut the walnut lumber off It.

Would Get Daughter Oat.
The mother cf Edith Adams called at the
offices of the State Board of Control to
Cay and demanded that her daughter be
released from the Glenwood school for
feeble minded. Mr. Cownle of the board
refused the request and tried to Inform
the woman, that the girl Is bitter off where
she is. For a time the loud talking of the
mother attracted the attention of the bulk
of those In the state house to the board of
control office and she threatened ull sorts
of suit If the girl Is not released.
The family live In Des Moines and the
girl was released once before on parole
but being a simple minded girl was soon
lead est ray and was finally returned to the
school again.

Polk Will Not F.ndoroe.
folk county will not lake any action
looking to the endorsement of any of the
candidates from this county for the nomina
tion to the supreme court vacancy. There
are two candidates from this county now
and there may be a number of others. For
this reason the bar association of this city
will not take a hand. When the county
Convention l called it may determine to
give the delfgatlon to some one candidate,
hut this Is said not to be a certainty. Judge
Brennan, one of the Polk county candidates,
today suggested a willingness to draw
straws for the support of the I'olk county
delegates, the candidates losing out agree
ing to withdraw from the fight.

The annual Hamilton county soldiers' and
sailors' reunion, which was to have been

FRICTION OVER BORDER WAR
Fruitless Attempts of (nlird Mates
to rrevent Violations of Men-
trallty Cause Irritation.
WASHINGTON, July 31. Inability to ex
tradite offenders for so-called political of
fenses which In the opinion of the adml i-
lslrallon are really crums , aic.i should
be extraditable, is proving a source of great
irritation in the effort which the United
States government Is making to break
revolutionary activity along ths Texas-
Mexican boundary.
This, coupled with the difficulty In de
tecting and proving violations in the neu
trality laws, renders It difficult to con
vince the Mexicans of the sincerity of this
government In Its determination to punish
the guilty.
On his recent trip to Oyster Bay, Am
bassador Creel talked over the whole bor
der trouble with' President Roosevelt, who
Is determined to put an end to the trouble
as far as lies lm the government's power.
The president, it is understood, favors if
necessary the employment of special coun
sel who miy apply themselves to the ques
tion of neutrality violations and extradition
so that the law may be fully enforced.
Officials contend there is no reason why
persons on this side of the border who
foment revolutionary movements and cross
Into Mexico to engage in raids and other
operations of a criminal character, and
then seek safety from arrest In this coun
try, should have uny exemption from e -tradition
on the alleged ground that their
acts were political. On the contrary, the
official' view U that they should be ex
tradited as felons. Roth the United States
and the Mexican governments. In accord
ance, It was officially euld today, ure fully
aroused In this matter, and the former will
take drastic action to end this form of
pernicious activity so fur as it la Incident

NEW YORK. July SI. That at least two
men were concerned In the murder of the
unidi-ntlfk d w.nncn whote hnlf charred snd
a; Id seated body was found In the Groen
Po nt avenue dumping ground In Williams
InirkC, Brooklyn, early yesterday morning,
was established today by the police. Philip
O'lirlen, a laborer of lirer-n Point saw a
covered nag n driven to the dump at
duvwi yistcrday. Two men got out and
lifted from lh wagon what the witness
supposed to lie only an old mattress. He
ISA- l ho nun pile u heap of brush on the
mattress pour oil over It and then set fire
to the bun. lie. Htllcving the mattress was
being destroyed because It was disease In
feittii, tho man avoided the spot. There Is
little doubt that the mattress was the on
In which the body of the murdered wonuin
aa concealed.
This led to the discovery that the covered
wagon was seen by several other persons
and the police now have a minute descrip
tion of the two men who were In It. They
are foreigners. The wagon was seen going
to the Green Point ferry by another wit
ness, and a gatekeeper at the ferry re
members checking such a wagon with two
men In it at the ferryboat.
Another feature of the caso was dis
close 1 when a physician, Wuest, made a
second autopsy on the corpse. His first
autopsy revealed a dei p cut across the
t man's throat. Ti e s. cond autopsy shows
that ti.lt iuI was made by a person who is
expert in surgery. The Incision, says the
coroner s physician, is such as is made tn
disparate cases of diphtheria, where It is
neiesary to pierce the windpipe t.) rrevent
strangulation. Whether this wound caused
death or not. Dr. Wuest Is unprepared to
say.
Dr. Wurst will make s sreful analysis of
the stomach to discover whether drag
was administered. Resides the incision In
the wonman's throat, her skull was frac
tured and the police believe that poison
may also have been used to make thrice
sure of her death.
Failure to establish the Identity of the
victim Is the" greatest obstacle the police
have to overcome. A general alarm has
been sent out for Mrs. Mamto Muskovltch
and her husband, Stanley, who have dis
appeared. Detectives learned that the
couple are missing and there is a possibility
that the murdered woman may be Mrs.
Muskovltch. Muskovltch and his wife left
Green Point last Monday, supposedly for
Stamford, Conn., and Mrs. Muskovltch has
not been seen since. Her husband returned
to Green Point on Tuesday alone. It was
said.
