ARGUING THE FOOT RACE CASE Defendants Introduce No Evidence Except Agreement for the Rnce, On reconvening district court yesterday | morning Judge Thernell handed down his | decision overruling the motion of the de- fendants in the case of the State against | | Leon Lozter and Ed Moore to take the case from the jury and direct a verdiet for the defendants. He also overruled the motion to strike out the testimony of Alderman | Charles Huber. | Counsel for the defense, atter a consul- tation with his clients, announced :they would introduce no evidence with the ex- ception of twe comtracts relative to the al- leged fake foot race which Charies Greg- ory is alleged to have.signed. The con- tracts show that Lozier was running at | Webb City under the name of Charles | Standard. The first contract binds Stand- { ara, allas Lozfer, and Crimm to race for | 1$10,000, and the sccond contract provide | for the second race between the two men for the same stakes and $5,000 additional put up by Charles Gregory. County Attorney Killpack made the open- | | Ing argument for the state. Attorney Sull- linger, in his argument for the defensr, ridiculed the charge that Gregory and Bar- ker had been led blindfold in the deal | | and had been defrauded by the defendant He contended that both Gregory and Bar- | ker went to Webb City with the express purpcse of betting on a sure thing, ex pecting to win the Webb City fellows’ money, but instead ran up against men who were sharper than they were, with the result that instead of returning to Coun- cil Blufts several thousands of dollars | richer than they left, they came home | minus the money they had taken with them. He Insisted that Gregory and Bar- ker were not entitled to any sympathy, | and the criminal prosecution was purely and simply an attempt to force the recov- ery of the money which they had lost. Attorney Finley Burke, who is assist- ing the county attorney in the prosecution, will make the closing argument for the state this morning.

DES MOINES, March 16.—(Special.)—Gov- ernor Cummins has declined to ask the sur- of the United States land office for a resurvey of the lake beds and surrounding land claimed as accretion land, as asked for by a large number of property owners who live adjacent to the lakes in northern Towa that have been dry- ing up for several years. There has been much litigation over these lake beds and the land formed by drainage of the shallow ones and the United States court recently passed on onc very important case which was taken there by the state; but there is a great deal of the land still in dispute and the trouble is regarded as only in its inetpiency unlees some definite action Is taken to ®nd the controversies. To this and the land owners who are claiming land in the lake beds by reason of owning the asked to have the land all resurveyed and declared swamp land. To do this the governor would have to certify his belief that *he state has no actual right in the land and that it disavows owner- ship. But the state claims the ownership of the lake beds and the right to dispose of the same after reclaiming, executive council has been leasing the re- claimed lands for a nominal sum for a number of years to preserve this right in the title, and the secretary of the council has just been directed to secure bids again for another year for the lease of these lands. In this way the state will hold its title until the legislature takes some action looking to n clearing of the titles and | disposal of the whole matter. 0dd Fellows' R, L. Tilton of this city has been se- lected as the orator for the dedication of the orphans’ home built at Mason City, the ceremonies to take place May 26. The grand lodge officers will go from here and a large delegation of Odd Fellows will ac- company them. The home has now been completed and will soon be opened. Mrs. J. W. Lewis of Ottumwa has been selected as the matron. A large delegation of Odd Fellows from all over the state will be at Mason City. Mrs. Alice Bellamy of Knox- ville will represent the Rebekahs. The 0dd Fellows' Orphans' home has been built by the grand lodge at a cost of about $40,- 000, and the buflding is 65x152 feet in siza, and has a farm with 300 apple trees in con- nection. Asphalt Versus Brick W Another turn was given today to the long-standing fight of the brick combine of this city to pravent Des Moines or any of the cities of Iowa from using any paving other thas Des Moines brick, the asphait people practically effecting the purchase of the most extensive brick plant in the state. This is the Capital City Brick and Pipe company. of which J. B. McGorrisk of Des Moines and Omaha s president. Negotia- tlons have been In progress for several weeks to this end. A few days ago the Barber asphalt people got a hig contract for brick paving in Waterloo, underbidding the other brick ‘companies. This necessi- tated the completion of the deal here, and today representatives of the asphalt com- panies met the brickmakers and concluded arrangements for the purchase of the Cap- ital City plant for $60,000. This will en- able the asphalt people to compete with the brickmakers in the use of brick for paving in Towa, and it is regarded as certain to end in cutting prices on all kiuds of pay- Ing In this state. It had been shown in the past that the Des Moines brickmakers were selling brick In cities of the state far below Des Moines prices and the beliet has been general that the companies were in & close combine. Accusations Against Hull, A sensational story cvmes from Pueblo, Colo., relating to Captain J. A. T. Hull of this city, member of congress and chair- man of the house committee on military af- fairs. It relates to the probating of the will of Captain Hull's father, Dr. A. Y. Hull, formerly ond for many years a resident here. There has been some contest over the will and Captain Hull's sister, Mrs. Morris, who is a wealthy soclety woman of Pueblo, makes afidavit that the will which was filed for probate was not the same will that was shown her by Captain Hull a few days after the death of Dr. Hull, tha* there is a wide difference in the handwriting and that the wording has been changed, and that the codicil to the will, which favored Mrs. Morris and her brother, was not filled with the will unti] several months after the new will was filed.

KING IMPLICATED IN CRASH Shareholders' Ohairman Sees Diffioulty in Prosecuting Whitaker Wright. PRISONER IS READY TO STAND TRIAL Expresses wuun—.n: ition to Waive Exe Though Lawyer Seems LONDON, March 16.—Flower, chairman of the shareholders' committee, which insti- gated the prosecution of Whitaker Wright, the director of the London & Globe Finance corporation, who was arrested yesterday on his arrival at New York from France, says: a powerful proctector In an exaited quarter. That statement is not new to us. It is the keynote of the whole case. Prior to the fallure of the London & Giobe, certain persens maintain, Wright had in’ his pos- Scasion letters from leading member of the | English royal family showing they were mixed up in his transactions. We have no documentary proof of this. Wright | himself is probably the only man in the world who could prove it. If he has such | letters they ought now to be in the pos- session of the New York police, as we suppose they searched his effects, and Wright 18 not ready to let such a powerful weapon of defense out of his personal Reeping. Within & few weeks the chief issue in the Wright case will be the question of the complicity or otherwise of the most exalted persons in the empire in Wright's scheme. We do not anticipate any difficulty in ob- taining his extradition, but if = what Wright's friends maintain turns out' to be true, his genuine prosecution will become an_extremely delicate matter. We believe, however, that the lawyers at present engaged will sift the matter to the bottom, regardiess of any condiitons. Sympathizes with Wright. Referring to the interview with Wright published in the New York Herald today, Mr. Flower sald: 1 quite sympathize with Wright, when he says the failure of the London & Globe was due to the treachery of others. There is no doubt of that. But it must be re- membered that for three months prior to the faflure the London & Globe had not a cent In its lockers, yet it was doing over £600,000 in speculation at every settlement. The government's decision that the di- rectors as a body could not be proceeded against does not prevent Wright, as the prime factor in the rotten conditions which existed before the failure, being made to take the responsibility. Mr. Flower's guarded language makes it clear that King Edward is “the exalted person” who is supposed to be behind Wright, this phrase always being used in English courts when the sovereign is re- ferred to except in a formal manner. Attorney General Finlay, in the House ot Commons this afternoon, said the crown would pay the cost of the extradition of Wright and the payment by the crown ot the whole expenses of the proceedings would be considered. His prosecution, however, would be left in the hands of the official recelver of the London & Globe corporation. Insists Upon Examination. NEW YORK, March 16.—When Whitaker Wright was arraigned in court his counsel said that, although Wright was willing to return to England, he would insist on an examination here before doing so. On his way to the federal bullding Wright made a statement, in which he sald: 1 _shall walve all extradition lormllltlll and go back to England as soon sovernment matur This story about mount of money lost is all bosh. The amount lost altogether did not exceed £4,000,00. This all turns to- ward the time when' the crash came. The dividends pald out under a secured capital consisting of mining property, were more than ithe capital iteelf of the’ Globe com- pany. with its financlal ir- Diarities, contriuted largely and was ch efly respansible for destroying the value of mlnll\l ropértiesat that time, when our vested. This {8 a ‘scheme to Ot i¥uea ot mining prop- e Glotie company today would be on its feet had it not been for the subway, the underground_road in London, but unfor- Tinately in an unwise moment the Globe became interested in this, and the crash came.

Asked whether he waived ex- amination Mr. Untermyer replied: On the contra.y and 1 wish to add that my client states that personally he would take u steame= immediately for England and answer these charges, but on the ad- Vice ‘of counsel he will wait further pro- ceedings on the part of the Dritish govern- ment.
