Pierce of this city schedules liabilities, aggregating to;.447. His assets consist solely, according to the papers filed In court of a half Interest In the Perseverance Mining and Milling com pany of Owyhee, Idaho, sad to be of doubtful value. Of some fifty creditors the schedule of Pierces liabilities shows George W. Holdrege of Omaha, general manager of the Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy railroad, to be the largest. Pierce lists an indebted ness to Mr. Holdrege of $400,000. which Is secured by the capital stock of the Fer serverance Mining and Milling company. At the same time Pierce's Interest In the Idaho mining property Is stated by his ot- tornevs to be subject to a Hen of JiO,O0O held by Mr. Holdrege. William Barker of this city has a claim of $fi0.97. which he has assigned to Ernest E. Hart, president of the First National bank of thia city. This clslm Is said to be connected with transactions Involving the purchaae by Pierce and Barker of the atock of the Idaho mining property. Another claim listed Is that of George H. Lyons of Omaha for $36,000. It Is said that Lyons claims this amount as com mission for the aala of land formerly owned by Pierce to Mr. Holdrege. Thia Is one of what the attorney for Pierce say are "contingent" liabilities of their clienl. Ferdinand Wels. a former well known business man of this city, now residing In Des Molnea appears In the list as creditor to the amount of $10,000. This claim. Pierce's attorneys say l connected with cer tain oil atock transactions between Pierce and Wels. This Is also claased by Pierce's attorneys as one of the "contingent" liabilities. One batch of claims listed which aggre gate $10,KS represent notes which Pierce endorsed with William Barker for the pur chase of blooded horses. Many Claims Dlspated. A. T. Fllckinger of the firm of Fllcklnger Bros., attorneys for Harry Pierce, said that much of the Indebtedness scheduled by their client should be classed as "contingent liabilities." Many of this class of claims. he said, wera disputed by Pierce. According to Attorney Fllcklnger. Pierce, who was supposed to own considerable land and other property, does not now own a single acre. "Mr. Pierce today has noth ing." said Mr. Fllcklnger. "All of the land which he owned haa been recently trens- ferred to Mr. Holdrege, the tranarer being duly recorded and publlahed. Mr. Pierce will have to start at the bottom of the lad der again." The Item of $400,000 scheduled as due Mr. Holdrege Is listed as repreaentlng notes given by Pierce In payment for the stock In the Perseverance Mining and Milling company. Harry P. Pierce Is tho son of Mr. and Mrs. Francla J. Pierce and was Interested with them for a number of years In the shoe business. Soma yeara ago he was re ported to have made a large sum of money In Texaa and other oil stocks. His business ventures, however. It Is said, have not turned out well lately and It has been known for some time that he has been more or less financially embarrassed. Vacant Palnlt at Des Molaes to Be .applied.

DES MOINES. Ia.. Nov. 22. (Special.) One of the most remarkable pardon cases In the history of the state was disposed of todsy by Governor Cummins when he com muted the life sentence of George Weems to thirty years In prson. The board of parole had, upon a compromise, recom mended commutation to thirty-two years and the governor cut off two years more, which, with "good time" earned, leavea Weems with a year and eleven montha yet to serve. The remarkable part of it Is that originally Weems was sentenced to be hanged and It Is an open secret that the court Itself would have been in danger and the jail would have been broken Into and the prisoner lynched at the time if the sentence had been a light one. Governor Drake commuted the death sentence to life Imprisonment and now Governor Cummins fixes a term for the sentence to end. The governor gave aa his reason the good char acter of the man and the appeals of his sged soldier father; but in fact there la acrlous doubt as to the guilt of the pris oner, this fact becoming known only In recent years. Weems and two others were convicted of killing Conductor Redpath In Des Moines in 194. One of the others turned state's evidence and got a short term. The third Is now Insane. The theory of Weema" friends Is that while he had been with the party Just before tho murder he waa not with them at the time and that the one who turned state's evi dence was really the guilty person. One Fell Pardon. John G. Bteele, an old man, who killed his neighbor In a quarrel tn Monroo county, was given full pardon by the gov ernor and the papers were signed today. Frederick Hansen, serving a life sentence for criminal assault from Bcott county, had his sentence commuted to twenty-five years. R. 8. Myers, who had recently suffered from an operation, was granted full pardon on recommendation of the board of parole. Fred FIvecoat of Clarke county was pa roled. He was one of a party of men that sought to wreck a train for robbery A. C. Sheets of Lyon county, serving five years, gets a pardon December 23; and James Lane, convicted of aecond degree murder in Hardin county and under a twenty-five year sentence, is paroled. The Ralnabarger case waa continued and apptlcattona of G. A- Williams, Charles Stogall. William Tool, and M. B. Foster wera denied. ' Governor Cummins also cleaned up great many minor pardon matters today. Wife Desertion Law Upheld. The state won a case on appeal in the supreme court today, a case involving con struction of the desertion law. Judge Wright, in Story county court, had released Frank Dvoracek, indicted for deserting his wife and children, 1 The court holds that the court where the wife lives has juiisdlc tlon and also that the form cf Indictment need not be specific, but generally state the facts.

Nov. 22,-Presldent-elcct Taft and Representative Burton of Ohio had another extended conference Sat urday, at which the speakership question was discussed as well as "nearly every thing else," as Mr. Taft put It afterwards. What the present state of mind of Mr. Taft Is on the speakership question and what will be his future attitude la made apparent beyond all question In a state ment for publication by Mr. Burton after the conference. Mr. Burton first explained that he was none the less a candidate for the senate than when he came here, and that on his return to Washington on Monday he should give more vigorous at tentlon to the canvass In Washington. He then said: "In discussing the question of the speak ership I am not assuming to seak for Mr. Taft, but only to expreaa what seems to me what Is clearly a correct view of the situation. The president-elect made cer tain promises during the campaign. One was for a thorough and honest revision of the tariff. This does not necessarily mean that rates In all schedules will be lowered, nor that any legitimate right or Interest of either capital or labor will be disre garded. It doea mean a careful re-examin ation of the whole subject. Besides the tariff there were other promises contained in the party platform and reiterated by the president-elect which must be fulfilled. No doubt Mr. Taft would oppose Mr. Cannon very reluctantly, but aa the head of his party as well as the president-elect of the nation he la bound to meet the expectations of the people and to Insist upon the observ ance of party pledges. "The speaker has great power In repress ing legislation. If thia repressive Influence should stand In the way there would be but one course for the president-elect to pursue and that Is to exert his Influence against obstruction. "It Is to be hoped there will be such harmony and concert of action between the president-elect and Speaker Cannon that a contest will be avoided." Judge Taft made no statement for publi cation on the -subject. Those who have talked with him aay that his determination to prevent "obstruction" Is most vigorous. Mr. Burton wished to make no prediction as to what the outcome of thin determina tion would be, saying that the whole situ ation, as he saw tt, was contained In his statement. Regarding the possibility of his being. a candidate for speaker, Mr. Bur ton's answer was that he was "none the less a candidate for senator, because of his visit here."
