Km l!"-uli tif Iaivo Affair Gill ltiilnt ltlr:iy Tlmii. IV Moines. Iowa, Sept H. Sid na Allen, le.uler of the Allen cla ' v hlch shot up the Carroll county court house ae Hillsvllle, Va., March 14. killing Judge .Massif ami others, i nil his nephew. Wesley Edwards, tonight are manacled Ir. cells al the city jail as a result of love affairs which UhI detective to them. Both ':avi annouuivil their willingness to return to return to Virginia without lequsilion. Edwards, for the lovo of whom Miss Mauda Iroler of Mount Airy, X. C, had innocently led detectives 1o Pes .Moines, was captured tonight tiS he was returning to his board ing house, afier having worked all day with a paring gang. Just as he boarded. a street car, detectives and officers surrounded It. Edwards van tryiiiK to escape by crawling through the front end of the car, when officers caught him. The ar rest cf Sidna Allan was effected ear lier in the day. A visit by Edwards to Miss Iroler in her North Carolina homo about a month a.o. and the accidental loss of a letter put the detectives on the trail. The fugitives had been in lies Moines since April 28. Allen, tinder the name of Tom S.iyre, worked as a carpenter and Edwards, under the mime of Joe Jackson, was employed with a city paving gang. Allen was arrested hi the home of John Cameron at Eleventh and Locust streets, where he anil his nephew hud been rooming, by Detec tives Baldwin, Lucas and Mundy of Roanoke, Va. The arrest rcurred n few minutes nfter Miss Iroler step ped Into the Cameron home to meet Edwards whom she was to wed to night acordlns to an arrangement made when he visited her In Xorth Carolina. Detective Lucas was at her heels. AHen was In an upper room. When Informed that visitors wanted to see him, he came down Hairs. As he did so Detective Lu cas covered him with a revolver nnd ordered him to surrender. Allen hesitated and then threw up his hands, remarking as he did so: ALLEX HANDCUFFED. "I guess I'm your man." Allen was handcuffed and placed under a guard of city detectives, while Colo nel Baldwin and Chief Jenny of the local department went In search of Edwards, who was said to be at work In the western part of the city. Apparently Edwards heard that his uncle had been captured because he was not to be found until tonight. Miss Iroler arrived In Des Moines this morning unaware that on the fame train were detectives who wanted her sweetheart. She went straight to the Cameron I'ome, having previously been pro vided with the address, nnd the of ficers followed. Although surprised, she took the arrest of Allen nnd the capture of Edwards with little show of concern. "Wesley whs down home a mouth nzo," she said. "We were to be t.mrrleri. He gave me the money to come to this city and his address. I h;.d no idea that anyone was follow ing Die." Sidna Allen. In his cell tonight, talked freely of the events of the list few mouths, hut declined to say j much concerning his movements im- i.iedlatoiy after the court house trag edy. He and Ed arils remained In the mountain country of Virginia ni'l North Carolina for about a month, and then got over Into Ken tucky, going to Louisville, where they spent scvral days. Their next stop was in St. Louis, where they remained a week. They had suffi cient money for their needs and traveled as first class passengers. THOUGHT DES MOINES SAFE. "I don't know why we came to Dps .Moines," said Allen, "unless It was that l thought we would be safer here. Several years ago I was in the Kloniyke and I figured that the officers would think that 1 had gone back there. So we canto to Des Moines, nnd I got work as a carpenter and expected to remain here until It was safe back home. "I would have given myself up King ago if I had thought we couhl net a square (leal. Hut see w hat they have done to Floyd, my brother and Claude. Allen declared that the court house tragedy was the fault of the officers, who, lie said, begun the shoot lnfi. "Wo heard a few days before Aliens trial began that Sheriff Webb had bought a hundred rounds of cartridges and had made the remark that he was going to show that Allen gang some 'real court' but we did not expect trouble that tiay, and there wouldn' have been any If the officers had not begun It." Allen denied that after the trage dy he had ever sent threuts to the officers. "The trouble In the court house camo aa unexpectedly as anything ever could," he continued. "Floyd Allen was on trial. The evidence van overwhelmingly In his favor. Yet they convicted him. "We started from Hlllsvllle the night of the trouble. The officers were once within 16 feet of me, but they did not know It. I thought for a while I would go back but when I heard there were orders out to shoot me on sight I decided I had better get out of the country. "I was writing when the detect ive came today. I had heard that Wesley and hl girl were to be mar ried and that she was coming here. If he ha.Pi't L,--n a blamed fool and rone back to Virginia and dropm-d that letter, we wouldn't be in lais fix to-night. I don't bum the Mil I dou't kii'-iw her, but her mother, .Mrs. Frank Iroler, wits ouc.. niy sweetheart." Allen was much interested rs to v :at would be the reception Liven himself and Edwards when tlu) re lumed home. The two mea were yuujeeted to the Uerti'.iion measurements tonight GIRL DIDN'T BETRAY THEM. Cincinnati, O., Scat. 1.--Itaiid cuffed, guarded by three detectives and accompanied by the girl who unconsciously gave the police the rlue to their hiding place, Sidna Al len and his nephew, Wesley Ed wards, who took part In the shoot ing up of a court at Hillsviile. Va., March 14, last, and who were ar rested yesterday, arrived here to night from Des Moines on their v.ay back to the scene of the crime. The trip proved uneventful. Chief of Detectives Baldwin stated that the prisoners were Ideal in behav ior and in far from 'a dejected frame of mind. With the excep tion of Miss Maude Iroler, whose love for Wesley Edwards led the detectives to his hiding place, the entire party apparently relished the ir food and even the exchanging of jokes was not Infrequent on the trip. The younger cf the two prisoners as well as the girl herself were solicitous in having a rumor dented that she had deliberately betrayed her tuveet heart, Wesley Edwards. Tile detective corroborated their statemen.s and told the story ot the events leading up to the cap ture to prove that the girl was no traitor to her lover. He said that when Edwards left Mount Airy, N. C, the girl's home, he had left $50 with her to be used to join him when he was safely secreted. The money was stolen nnd then replared and In this manner Miss Iroler's fa ther learned of it. Detective Bald win stated that he had two of his men working on the Iroler farm and In this way learned of a corres pondence between the girl and Ed vards. "The remainder Is easy," said Baldwin. "We watched her. When she left, these two men, Lucas and Monday, followed her, and I was right behind them on the next train. You know the story of the arrests and that Is all there Is to it." The party left for Roanoke at 8 o'clock tonight over the Xorfolk & Western Railroad, expecting to ar rive there tomorrow at noon. With the exception of desiring to correct the statement concerning Miss Iroler, neither Edwards nor Al len would talk to-night, confining their conversation to: "It's too hot to talk." AI.I.KN TRIALS OVER. The Acquittal or Victor All ti U I'lnhiiblv the l.nt That the Court Will IV Two M: ill at Large. Wythov'lle, Va., Sept. lfith "Not guilty" was the verdict rendered by the jury in the ease f Victor Allen, chnrged with participation In the Hillsviile court house murders on the lith of last March. The an nouncement brutirht unite n demon stration from the sp. viators, a large portion of whom were women. The argument in the er.so was completed this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock ami given at once to the Jury, who were out thirty minutes considering their verdict. When It vvis announced. Mr. Hon g tie of coun sel for the Commonwealth, address ed the court, stating that he and his associates had no desire to do more than their duty nnd that wlih permission of the court the other indictments against the defendant would be dismissed, which was done. The prisoner, surrounded by his four small children, received the congratulations of many in the court room and ns he shook hands with the jury tears coursed down his cheeks. This Is the last of the trials growing out of the shooting up of Carroll county court last March, when the presiding Judge, the sher iff, the Commonwealth's attorney, a Juror and a witness met death at the hands of the Allen clan. For the murder two men have been sen tenced to the electric chair, Floyd Allen and Claud Allen, father and brother of the man who was acquit ted today.

The Progressvie Sate committee ir-.l the committee named by the bolting Roosevelt Republicans at Charlotte to advise with the Progres sives In regard to uniting upon a State ticket met here today, hold ing afternoon and night Joint ses sions. The work of the day con sisted mainly In revising the State ticket where made necessary by res unations. an agre?meti! to main tain separate State campaign organ Iratlons ami yet to work harmoni ously for the success of the Slti'e and national tickets cf the Progres sives. The Pearson-Butler wing, repre senting the Charlotte convention, held that to unite In organizations would he detrimental to tickets in Republican counties, while Jas. X. Williamson, Jr., and W. S. 1'earson plead for an united organization. Zeh Vance Walser declined to run for Governor and Iredell Meares.who had been named as a Stale elector, was put at the head of the ticket. Janus X. Williamson, Jr., withdrew us Charlotte nominee for Insurance Commissioner, and Thomas McMul iens, an Atlantic Coast Line engin eer of Rocky Mount, was named. V. S. Lusk was named to succeed Ire dell Mea res on the electoral ticket at large. The committee ratified all other nominations made at Char lotte. Marlon Butler, who was reported turned down by both wings at Char lotte, was one of the most conspic uous figures hero today nnd he Is n puted to have played a prominent role In the deliberations of the eotuniif.es. Butler came on the proxy t : his brother, George Butler, and rewarded George by keeping him from being named for Govern or, thus forcing the honor upon Mr. .Meares. The younger Butler was first nominated and had several sup. porters, but Marion steadfastly rul ed that It must not be. The principal discussion was wag ed over the question of whether the two wings should unite, or whether each party should go its own way, though with a iort of an understanding that they would meet at the polls. James X. William son, Jr., W. S. Pearson and others urged organization, while Butler, Richmond Pearson, Charles H Cowles and others maintained that both sides could work more effect ively under seperate organizations. 1: was finally determined to contin ue separately, the Progressives of fering the chairmanship of their party to Zeb Vance Walser, while the Roosevelt Republicans, as the Richmond Pearson - Marlon Butler wing will still call themselves, made no selection. A committee was named to re draft the Progressive platform adopted at Greensboro by the Pro gressive committee. It has repre sentatives from each wing: Wals?r, Richmond Pearson, J. J. Jenki.is, Charles II. Cowles, and Charles K. Greene represent the Roosevelt Re publicans nnd MaJ. W. A. Guthrie, II. J. Faison, W. S. Pearson, W. S. ilailey, W, R. Huron and Iredell .Meares reivsent thi Pregessives. Late tonight tile Roosevelt Re publicans agreed upon Charles II Cowles as chairman of that wing of (lie organization and adopted a reso lution declaring allegiance to the Chicago platform and the principles of the Republican party, though re pudiating the nomination of Tal't. James H. Cook of Guilford, nomi nee of the Republican convention for State Insurance Commissioner, to night addressed to Chairman More head a letter of resignation, deelar it to be absolutely impossible for Mm to aeetpt.

Mr. Josep'ttts Daniels, manager of the publicity department of the national c.impi.lgn, writ's The Journal I'rom New York that funds are urgently needed now. The committee wish vi to spend the money In getting the Issues before tne pi ople in time. Mr. Daniel? writes: "We ot'ght to he a'i'.e to raise $10,iioti for the .National Campaign I' n ml in Xorth Carolina, and I h lleve it can be done with a little effort. An average of $l'Hi to a county will do the business and a county like Union ought easily be able to raise a couple of hundred dollars; but if it is to be done at nil, It ought to bf done this month. , dollar in hand now, before the first of October, will be worth much more than the same sum nt the last minute. We must make our calculations to spend money early In the campaign. If It is to reach the voters. In the old times, when campaign money was t'.sed to send Into the separate states, of cours the money came in late and wns Used on election day. Xow, when we spend no mopey that way, we must have it early to plan the publicity campaign." Mr. Morrow has received a letter Irom Mr. McRae In which he says: "I am glad to say that Mr. Jas. Sprutit of Wilmington has sent his cheek to Governor Wilson for $1. ('00, and I have sent my cheek for a like amount to Mr. Holla Wells, treasurer of the general finance committee; nnd enthusiast? respon ses are being received from those who are going to co-operate with the committee In different parts of the State." Don't wait for Mr. Morrow to look you up, carry your contribu tion to him. Mr. Wilson Is de pending upon the people who wnnt no special favors from government. The trusts are financing the cam paigns of the other candidates and the people are backing Mr. Wilson.

Xew Orleans, Sept. l.",th. --- This week promises to be a weather" market on the cotton exchanges. This is the period of the s walled i equinoctial storms that occasimuPy I do much damage i:i the cotton r Ifiou and the market will be more jthnn usually sensitive to weati'.er de velopments because of It. Storm warnings will be. lin;-'!y to send tra cl ots into flurries cf buying, while anything that looks like a West in (.i.in hurricane Is liable to cause a wide price movement upward. Outside of the weather conditions ia the Gulf of Mexico and the Carib bean Sea, where the tropical storms t.fe first reported, the trade will be chiefly interested In the condition ot the crop and the rate of ginning. It is now generally considered that the usual end of the season deter ioration is well tinder way but how much this will effect the October percentage of condition is a ques tion that the bulls nnd bears cannot, pet together on. There are nine more days In the present ginning period. Bears claim that cotton is being ginned almost, as fast as It was last year and are predicting a report that will favor tiiem strongly. Bulls point out, how ever, that the movement In the east ern belt does not bear out this claim i-.lthough they are willing to grant 'hat Texas Is ginning more cotton than nt this time last year. The spot situation ought to no quire more prominence before long. Buyers ar? holding off as much as possible nnd farmers im- not press ing their cotton for K.ile and until one side or the other gives In tpots will not have much Influence. Union Meeting.
