Clyde | come of a foot ball game had two |file charges against both the Iowa | governors in hot water today. Virgil Case, secretary of t | executive and Gov. Floyd B. Olson | Des | of Minnesota, under a Federal statute | LAST TWO DAYS which prohibits interstate transporta- tion of gambling equipment or the “fruits of gambling.” Intense rivalry between teams from the Universities of Jowa and Minne- sota last Saturday was the occasion for much bantering between the gov- ernors. Each wagered & pig on the outcome of the game. Yesterday Gov. Herring in a “pig in the parlor” episode at the Minne- sota State House paid off his debt. Today he returns home to face the gambling charge and a warrant for his arrest. The Iowa governor appeared little concerned over the warrant. “It is only disgusting to me,” he said, “that my first and only venture in the game of chance should bring on a warrant. It looks as if I might have to write out a pardon for myself.” | But Case said he saw no humor in the -bet, declaring the governor “should set an example for other citi- zens of Iowa.” Later Gov. Herring was assured of dismissal of the gambling charge. Walter Brick, a Municipal Court bailiff, told the Governor that As- sistant County Attorney D. Edwin Moore ruled the complaint invalid be- cause it was filed in the wrong county. Moore held that Case would have to file the case in Johnson County if he wishes to go through with it, since the Governor was in Iowa City when the bet was made. Iowa City is in | Johnson County. Des Moines is in | Polk County. PUBLISHER DEA Luther Thomps®n Passes Away| at Hillsboro, Tex.
