Mrs. Delta and their son Leslie Delta for tho murder of Deputy Oscar llarpln the early part of October, 1910, was called for trial here Wednesday before Judge Reld of the circuit court This la the Irst and most serious of the cases growing out1 of "the heroic defense of tho Cameron dam, Thornapple river, by Jolrn,;F; Deltt'and hia family. - After thfn aa la disposed of there will bo two more eases to come up for trial; one la against John F. Delta alone and is for his assault on WilUam Glblln, the former sheriff, who. with Patrick McGinn, tried to capture Deits In 1904. The third case ts against Almyra Deltz, the eldest daughter of Ma. and Mrs. Deits, who is charged with Intent, to kill John Rogich, a deputy from Milwaukee, who Joined In the attack upon the home of the Delta's In 1904. ' This last mentioned case will prob ably be dropped by the State, as the prosecution Is understood to have ab solutely no evidence against the girl, Almyra Delta was shot in the hip at Ume time of her arrest, but baa since then fully recovered from her Injury. Saiga a Long One. , The troubles of the Deits family, which culminated in a long siege of their log cabin near the Cameron Dam and their final capture after a desperate and bloody battle in the early part of last October, began in 1904, with the purchase of the Cameron farm by Mr. and Mrs. 'Delta. Prior to that time Delta and his family oc eupied a cabin near Price Dam and Delta waa employed' at watchman of tho dam by the Chippewa Lumber ft Boom company. When Deitz removed to hia place at Cameron dam, he gave ap bla position. The refusal of the representative, of the lumber com pany to aettle with Deits for the pay which the latter claimed for his serv ices, led to an assault by Deits upon the agent of the company. The latter obtained a warrant, but all attempts to nerve It failed. After a short time a dispute arose between Delta and the lumber company concerning the .right of the company to run logs through the sluice of Cameron dam. Deitz, who owned the property, refused to allow tho com pany the use of the sluice without payment and the company took the matter Into tho courts. Summons were Issued for Diets and also a temporary Injunction, but he would not accept lervlce. The case was fought in the Jlvll courts and was finally decided In Savor of Diets. During the years since '.he Delta family moved Into their log louse on Cameron dam numerous attempts were made to serve warrants lad legal papers on Deitz. but the latter, claiming that ho could get no justice in the courts, refused to ac sept service. On May 9, 1904 former sheriff Glb.in and three armed men tried to arrest Delta, but he defend d himself with his rifle and forced the sheriff to withdraw. Deputy sheriff Roglch was shot during another attack upon the Deltz lomestead. on July 23, 1906. A pitchid battle between the. deputy sheriffs n one aide and the members of the Delta family, on the othr took place ind Roglch' was k seriously "wounded y a shot.

This last irouble led to the long selge of the Delta home by a arge posse seeking d arrest Delta. It was during -the laal assault, which ended with the mrreader of Delta aad his family, that Deputy Harper waajjtot and killed.

A SECOND PETITION

For a County Insane Ward Is to Be Made. When the county council meets again next week in special session to con sider an appropriation for the em ployment of counsel to assist county attorney Bobbins in pending litigation. Sheriff Albert Steen will again bring. to the council members attention the question of an appropriation for an in sane ward either at the jail or at the county infirmary. Council a month or more ago turned down an appropria tion, but since then the great need, of such an institution has been clearly demonstrated by the confinement of a number of insane in the couty jail. Charles Pierson, the Fountain City business man who was placed in the jail on Monday, unable to realize that his mental affliction and not the com mission of such offense is responsible for him being in the institution, con tinually inquires to those who will lis ten as to when his trial will be held. Thrown in with other prisoners who are either all the time talking about the sentences given them or who are awaiting trial, it is little wonder that he even at bis most rational periods, suspects be is a criminal awaiting trial. The confinement for a few days of Andrew Flatley and two or three other insane men in the last two months has afforded sufficient ex amples to make it clear the need of a more appropriate place for the confinement of Insane people. RUDE AND IMPOLITE STUDEHTSREBUKED Daylight Spooning," Head of Lake Forest Says Is Deplorable. Chicago, May 4. Lake Forest uni versity boys are rude yes, and they have bad manners, too. President John S. Nollen of that school has made the discovery and in a chapel speech he Impeached his male protegee for the following impolite acts: They spoon in public In a mild way by holding the arms of the fair coeds with whom they are walking. They smoke while walking on the street with girl friends. They are impolite to opposing players at inter-collegiate ball games and say rude things to them and try to hurt their feelings. Having made these specific accusa tions, the president elaborated and gave specific examples of the lack of manners which he had seen. "Every time I am on the streets of Lake Forest I see you young men hold ing the arms of your girl friends. This is a transparent device to cover up open and. public 'spooning,' because our Lake Forest girls are as a rule in good health. They don't need assis tance in walking. This arm holding is frequent in broad daylight and it is even worse at night." Not the least of the sins of the young men was that of smoking in the presence of the- girls. "It Is Indecent," he said, "for any young man to smoke while walking with a girl friend, and it is improper for the young lady to permit it. Col lege boys smoke too much, anyway, and they should at least have the decency to refrain while with the ladies." Etiquette of the . Diamond. But the worst castigation of the Lake Forest students came on account of their conduct at baseball games. "I attended a game between Lake Forest team and one from another school a while ago," he said, "and. really, I thought I was in a crowd of ruffians. I heard our college boys. who should be above it, say things like this: " 'Get off the diamond.' "Kill the umpire.' , M 'You ahould be back pitching, hay. "When did you leave the farm?' "Once the opposing pitcher gave one of our boys his base on balls and our boys ragged him for It and tried to embarrass him. Now, that pitcher was doing. the best he could, and he should have had your sympathy in hia failure, had you been truly polite. "It Is very wrong for men of the standards college men should have to scold the opposing players. I think professional baseball Is resposlble for much of the rudeness found on our field. College, men should not ape the waya of the class of people who attend professional games." The president spoke of an interview which he recently had with President Jordan of Lcland Stanford university and said the latter had told him the same regrettable situation in college athletics existed in California. He said that college athletics should be abolished it they continued to sorrupt the manners of college youths. Girls Get a "Wigging." Lake Forest girls came in for their share of censure. "You can stop the boys from holding your arms and smoking and aaying rude things on the ball field if you want to," he said. The speech was the principal topic of talk among the students yesterday and the majority seemed to think the president had been a little harsh in his criticism. tttbrd te Move In Russia? - An 'American wished to more from the principal hotel In St. Petersburg to a smaller hotel around the corner. lit cam down with his bag packed ready to go. ,'Soy.,, said the manager, "but you cannot leave this hotel or register at another hotel until we get your passport from the police, and that will take a day and a night Tou must go through exactly the same procedure ac If you were leaving the country.!.

SENSATION

SPRUNG

III FOViLERJilURDER No Trace of Bullet Found in Body of Man Dug Up on Poole Farm. (American News Service) Fowler, Ind., May 4. A sensation developed at the inquest today into the death of Joseph Kemper when it was discovered that the body found on the Poole farm showed no trace of a bullet wound. The body is believed to be that of another victim. After this discovery Poole became excited and asked for another conference with the sheriff and prosecutor, details of which were kept a secret. Excitement is intense. . AH night long officers, guided by lanterns, dug on the farm in an effort to unearth other bodies which are believed to have been buried there, in a manner similar to the burials on the death farm" of Mrs. Belle Gunness of Laporte. Besides Kemper, two other farm hands who were employed by Poole, disappeared in mysterious ways and it is believed they, too, were victims. Neighbors of Poole are incensed and threats of a lynching have been num erous. Poole several years ago shot a neighbor and escaped the penitentalry by pleading insanity. After serv ing a brief term in an asylum he was released on parole. This has served to make him hated and feared and an attempt to storm the jail is not unexpected. Miss Grace Poole, who has been a student in Chicago, returned home today to fight for her father's life against her brother Emery, who found the buried body of Kemper and re ported his father to the police. She admitted that she had seen blood stains on the walla of the kithchen the day after Kemper vanished. WOMAN PHYSICALLY UNFIT TOBE VOTER First Cannot Enforce Own Laws, Second Cannot Accept Maintenance. New York, May 4. "The two basic reasons against woman suffrage in the United States are: "1. No electorate has ever, existed, or ever can exist which cannot enforce its own laws. 2. No voter has eved claimed, or ev er can claim maintanance from another voter." . .. Miss Molly Elliott Seawell, Southern nevelist, thus sums up her anti-suf frage argument in an interesting little book. Just published by Macmillan and called "The Ladies' Battle." Miss Seawell takes a gentle King at the personnal of the suffrage body. '.'There is a large class," she says, like the promoters of the Hull house, in Chicago, who mistake philanthropy for government, not knowing that too much philanthropy will ruin the best government on earth. There is, of course, that proportion of professional agitators which is found in all movements." Miss Seawell insists that the normal voter must be physically able to make his way to the polls against opposition if necessary, and he must be able to carry out by force the effect of his ballot. "The suffragists claim that the moral forces ought to supplant mere physical force. But if a burglar breaks Into the house of a suffragist she calls a policeman. A dozen ruffians could prevent a hundred women from depsit ing a single ballot. "Supposing the ballots of women, however, to have been deposited by the indulgence of men," continues Miss Seawell, "women will surely be called upon to legislate for men upon subjects of which no woman has ever had or ever will have any practical experience. Women could not with Justice ask to legislate upon matters of war and peace. No woman can have any practical knowledge of shipping and navigation, of the work of train men on railways, of mining. Their legislation, therefore, would not probably be Intelligent and the laws they devised might be highly objectionable to the very persons they sought to benefit." Then Miss Seawell takes up the re-, lation between voting and maintenance. The two things are incompatible, she says, as is proved by the fact that all paupers are virtually disfranchised. "A wife's maintenance, she asserts. "Is her equivalent for a vote. , If she acquires a vote she must give up her right to maintenance. Already, Miss Seawell says, the women in the four suffrage states of Colorado, Utah, Idaho and Wyoming have been deprived of enormous property privaleges.

ATTACKS Minister Says He Has Grouch Against Religion a (American News Service) Chicago, May 4. The Rev." Thomas V. Shannon today elaborated on an attack made on Andrew Carnegie at the annual banquet of the Alumni association of Layola university, when he declared that the steel master was the "cruelest Incarnation of ' anti-Christianity that you could pack Into five feet." "Andrew Carnegie has a well developed grouch against religion," . he declared. "Constructively at least, he is the bitterest foe of Christian education in the universe." "In that benefaction which seemed to redound most to his credit, Carnegie Inserted the seemingly harmless clause that the beneficiaries under his grant to superannuated teachers must be in the services of institutions that acknowledge no religious control. That shows a venom' for which he has not always been charged. WILSON'S TRIP NOT POLITICAL SCHEME On Western Journey to Discuss Politics from Nonpartisan Viewpoint. Trenton, N. J., May 4.
