CONGRESSMAN MOODY TELLS
HOW BILL WAS SIGNED.
Up Until Thirty Minutes Before
Adjournment Secretary Hitchcock
Opposed President Roosevelt Sign
ing the Measure.
'District Attorney T. G. Halley has
received the following letter from
Congressman Moody, relating to the
hard fight he had In getting the Res
ervation bill signed by the president:
"I am certain that any one less
constant in his efforts would have
failed. I discovered a stumbling
block In the secretary of the Interior
who opposed the bill after It passed
the senate. I undertook to satisfy
hm that the legislation was wise and
just, not only to the Indians but to
the citizens of adjoining counties as
well as the county government, and
supposed that I had succeeded until
about 330 minutes before adjourn
ment, when I found that the secre
tary of the Interor had advised the
president not to sign the bill.
"Fortunately the cabinet was with
the president in his room in the rear
of the senate where he comes at the
close of the senate to sign bills at
the last moment.
"Secretary Cortolyou, out of his
abundance of precaution, had brought
the bill with hm and with tears in my
eyes I pleaded with the secretary of
the interior until he finally consented
to withdraw his -objection and asked
the president to sign the bill."

Although Surrounded by 200 Men He Ties His Boatman,
Anderson, to a Tree and Gets Away
Unobserved.
Seattle, July 9. Convict Tracy has once more disappeared Just when
the. officers thought they had him nicely" surrounded. The posse received
word this morning that Tracy had been seen talking to Farmer Jensen,
three-quarters of a mile south of Renton this morning and at once hast
ened to the scene with the hounds.
They learned from the farmer that he had seen and talked with the
convict, who asked him if he was looking for Tracy, and upon his reply
ing In the negative the convict told him to go on his way. The farmer

FLOODS III IOWA
HEAVY RAINS PUT RIVERS
OVER THEIR BANKS.
Hundreds of People Are Forced to
Flee From Their Homes in Row
Boats and Crops Are Ruined.
Des Moines, la., July 9. One of the
greatest floods In the history of Iowa
as a result of the recent heavy rains,
is threatened. It has been raining
incessantly for the past 24 hours and
as a result the rivers are spreading
over the lowlands.
Hundreds have been driven from
their h.omes. In this city last night
200 were forced to abandon their res
Idences.
Crops are practically beyond re
demption.
The Des Moines, Raccoon, Skunk,
Cedar and Iowa rivers are out of
their banks.
At Marshalltown, Exlra and Bary-
town scores were taken from their
homes in boats! Railroad traffic
south from Sioux City has been bus
pended on account of the flood.
Bridges are out at a number of
places.
Seattle, July 9. Half a hundred
deputies had Tracy surrounded in the
Gerald house at Renton, but ho gave
them the slip and was gone ten min
utes before the deputies knew It The
sheriff then closed in and found An
derson, the man ho kidnapped, tied
to a tree, back of the house.
The news of his presence at the
Gerald house was brought to the
sheriff's office by 17-year-old Thomas
Gerald, who gave an accurate de
scription of the desperado. Three
posses immediately started In pur
suit and the house was quietly sur
rounded.
It was believed that the convict,
who was known to be completely
w,orn out, having had no sleep since
Sunday, could be brought to bay and
the last deadly struggle was expected
at any moment.
When the posse closed In, however,
it was found that the bird had flown.
Two of the best bloodhounds in the
state are now working on the trail
and the posse is confident that they
will soon capture the desperado.
Tracy .left the house by a rear door
while the posse were taking up their
positions to watch the place, hid for
a few moments in some of the bushes
end then slipped quietly away
through the woods toward Palmer.
The wonderful nerve of tho convict
was never more fully exemplified
than In this Instance. In the back
yard of the Gerald house was found
Anderson, the man ho had kept a
prisoner from the tlmo ho left Port
Madison, tied to a troo. Tracy had
tied Anderson to tho tree whllo tho
posse were In full view of tho house
before making his escape.
The, bloodhounds were let loose on
his trail, but half way betwoon Cedar
river and Burroughs boat house both
dogs ran Into cayenne pepper sprink
led in. the outlaw's retreating foot
steps. Their nostrllB were filled with
the firey substance and fully 10 min
utes were lost in relieving the doge
so they could again exercise their
powers ,of smell.,
The dogs were onco more so close
upon Tracy'B footsteps that both tho
hounds fairly bellowed out their In
stinctive warning that they were fast
gaining upon their quarry. Pressed
to desperation, Tracy made tho cir
cuit, headed due north and plunged
Into the outskirts of the lake where
ho finally succeeded In casting tho
scent.
