FRISON DOORS OPEN FOR HER Delilah Fails, Who Figured in Sensational Murder Case, Granted a Parole SOON TO BE MARRIED To Become Wife of Man Who Assisted Her to Kill His Father in State of Iowa Special Dispatch to The Call DES MOINES, Iowa, Oct. 28.—At the age of 27 pretty Delilah Fails, whose picture was published in all the metro- politan papers seven years ago, and sbout whose murder of Jerome Kern column after column was printed, has walked forth from Anamosa prison & free woman. Her original sentence was for twenty yeers. Her sweetheart and self-confessed accomplice, Will Kern, son of the mur- dered man, will be released next March by expiration of sentence, and they will be married at once. Governor Cummins has at last yielded to an al- most universal demand in granting the parole. The crime was most extraor- dinary end the length of the sentence was generally disapproved at the time, owing to the feeling that the deed was justified. According to the confession of Delilah ¥atls, which is substantiated, the elder Kern deceived her when she was a girl of 13, in the employ of Mrs. Kern. She. had numerous suitors, owing to her beauty, and twice became engaged, only to have Kern tell her flance her story and thus break the engagement. Then Kern's son fell in love with her, and when to him was related the tale the girl confessed the truth, and they jointly plotted the murder. The boy furnished the revolver, and she shot Kern to death, mutilating his body. She confessed in order to protect Kern Jr., who was about to be convicted of the crime. —_————— ARMY OFFICER OOVERS HIMSELF WITH DISGRACE Police Search for Captain George W.

A Re- publican majority of 1500 in Sacramen- to County is predicted. Governor Pardee and Attorney Gen- eral Webb will speak at Chico on Wed- nesday evening; at Marysville Thurs- day evening and at Woodland Friday night.

One of the Populist Party’s Founders Becomes a Republican. OMAHA, Nebr,, Oct. 23.—Henry Huckins, one of the founders of the Populist party, has become a Repub- lican editor. For many years Huckins has published the Nebraska Blizzard, whose name indicates the style of its politics. He has now purchased the Lincoln Herald, which he will com- bine with the Blizzard and continue the publication as a Republican organ. Announcing the change, Huckins says: 1 want to add my little mite to the better- ment of humanity, and 1 belleve it can best be done by joining forces with the party that bas some organization and unity of action; that has the power, intelligence and willing~ ness to accomplish 'something and to do that which the people demand.

Cablegram to Taft Presents Conditions and Adds That Judge Has Been Deceived WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.—The fol- lowing cablegrams from Secretary of ‘War Taft te Governor Wright of the Philippines and from the Governor to the Secretary in reply thereto were made public at the War Department to-day: October 20, 1904. To Wright, Manila: The Democratic candi- date for President on the 15th of the present month, in a public address, said: “‘But two classes of our people can hope to be benefited by our holding the Philippines— the class which is always hunting for special Government privileges and the class which secks to make of office-holding & means of livelthood. The latter class in the Philippines comprises some officials, of whom a student of the islands recently said, ‘Of the character of many in office, too little cannot be said. At the best, they have been inetficient; at the worst, dishonest, corrupt and despotic. The islands secem to have succeeded in getting the very dregs of our people.’ He also said: ““The sitvation in the Philippines to-day is 80 ‘terrible that it passes the comprehension our people at home. Agriculturally the country is for the, time ruined. Land is go- ing out of cultivation, the population is ill- fed and in some places unable to get work.

TAFT. The reply of Governor Wright was received here from Manila at 1 p. m. to-day and is as follows: MANILA, Oet, 28, 1904.—Secretary of War, Washington, D."C.: With reference to your telegram of the 20th, quoting recent utter- ances of Judge Parker upon administration and conditions here and requesting statement of facts relating thereto, 1 report as follows: First—The statement that any considerabie number of officlals have proven corrupt, in- efficient or despotic does great injustice to a body of hard-working, self-respecting Ameri- cans, whose character and service will com- pare favorably with those of employes of the Federal or State govetnm While there have been a number of defaults by subordi- Dates, they are few as compared with the whole, and have been prompuiy detected and pus The total of defaults since July, 1901, beginning civil government, §78,H there has been no ultinlate loss; the Gover: ment s protected by insurance.

During the fiscal year ending June 30. 1904, exports were $30,226,127, imports $33,221,250. Exports fell off as compared with the previous year because of the decrease in the copra and sugar crops, due to a phenomenally small ral fall in certain sections and to plague lgcus in others. Of the exportations, 821,704,960 w hemp; of the importations, $11,548,814 was rice, the principal food of the people.

It is equally un- true that men In private life are subjected to espionage or that detectives in the guise of servants are employed. All these statements are the variest nonsense without a scintilla of fact to support them. The only use to which detectives are put is to ferret out criminals, as is done in the United States, and the number of detectives employed by the Government, upon comparison, will be found to be fewer here in proportion to populdtion than in New York.

The hall was crowded and Debs was given an enthusiastic reception. During his speech countless red flags were waved by his hearers.

It says: Our_efforts during the past three months ! have been directed to the task of organizing | and harmonizing the party in the States hith- erto considered doubtful, by reason of former dissensions.

In every State and in ail sections Democrats | have buried their differences and are working harmoniously and enthusiastically for the ticket.
