Anienclnieiit to Sherman Anti 1/ Trust Law as Favored By If' Civic League is Presented Sr -Measure 'A IP.JL, STRIKES TO BE LEGALIZED and Combinations From Provisions of Old Law—Corporations to Be Exempt Must Register With Federal Authorities, Washington, 'March 23.—The bill prepared by the National Civic Feder ation after a conference with the pres ident and representatives of capital and labor to relieve the stringency of the Sherman anti-trust law, was intro duced in the house today by Hepburn, of Iowa, chairman of the committee on interstate commerce. It was re ferred by Speaker Cannon to thai com mittee for consideration and report and it is understood President Roosevelt ivHl, in his message to congress, make recommendation concerning it. There is no indication on which to frame a prediction of the failure or success of the bill in the house, nor will there be until hearings have been given in committee. Party leaders to day professed to be wholly ignorant of the details of the bill and to have only a general understanding of its pur pose. One of the most interesting sections of the federation's bill is that which seeiks to relieve organized labor from the suppressive effects of the recent supreme court decision declaring labor unions to be conspiracies in restraint of trade and therefore unlawful. The bill, broadly speaking, aims to restore to unions their right to peaceable ex istence, including the right to strike, but leaving them amenable to the Sherman act in the matter of boycotts, picketing and similar coercive prac tices. The section follows: "Nothing in said act approved July 2, 1S90. t»r in this act. is intended, nor *=hall any provision thereof hereafter be enforced, so as to Interfere with, or to restrict any right of employes to strike for any cause or to combine or to con tract with each other or with employ ers, for the purpose of peaceably ob taining from employers satisfactory terms for their labor or satisfactory conditions of employment, or so as to interfere with or to restrict any right of employers for any cause to discharge all or any of their employes, or to combine or to contract with each other or with employers, for the purpose of peaceably obtaining labor on satisfac tory terms." The bill has been prepared under the auspices of The Xational Civic Feder ation, in consultation, on the one hand, with the president and other execu tive officers of the government, and on the othdr hand, with representatives of the business and railroad interests of the country and of organized labor. The United States supreme court, by a long series of decisions, has held that the Sherman law applies to com mon carriers, to business corporations, and to business men, and also to labor organizations and to labor men. The supreme court has also decided that any action in restraint of trade, so far as it applies to interstate commerce, is unlawful, whether such action be reasonable or not. The bill submitted by the Xational Civic Federation does not attempt to change the legal status of anything condemned as in restraint of trade un der the Sherman anti-trust act but it aims to provide a way by which, un der certa.in conditions, combinations and contracts in restraint of trade that are not unreasonable may be saved from attack. The benefits and Immunities offered by the proposed bill, therefore, will be in the main con fined to those who register in accord 'ance with the terms of the bill. Com mon carriers may register with the interstate commerce commission, and all others, with the commissioner of corporations in the department of commerce and labor. Being upon the registry, the corpora tion, or association, or individual, gets certain immunities as to the past, and the benefit of provisions by which it can ascertain as to future contracts whether these will or will not be at tacked by the government as in unrea sonable restraint of trade. As to fu ture combinations or contracts, the government is given thirty days in which to disapprove any contract or agreement filed by a corporation or as sociation registered under the act and if within thirty days the government does not disapprove the contract, the government cannot thereafter attack it except thru the courts, and then only on the ground that It is in unreason able restraint of trade. Contracts or agreements calling for new business combinations must be filed. Contracts or agreements entered into in the or dinary course of business may be tiled or not eit pleasure. Such contracts, if not filed, do not get the benefit of the Immunities of the new act. but nobody is obliged to file such a contract unless he wants to do so. In view of the doubt that has been raised a the minds of many as to w-hether the Sherman anti-trust act does not make even a -itrike unlawful, a clause is included in the bill dis tinctly reserving for labor ali right? that they have now. Irrespective of tho •herman anti-trust act. to combine and tt jtrlk'5 and to make trade agree- 4 in flits and reserving for employers of labor the correlative rights to com bine and to discharge their employes.

State Hoard of Agriculture rianninjr Splendid Evening Attraction OTHER FEATURES TO BE ADDED Indications Are That Coming Fair Will Be Biggest Yet Held Makers of Adulterated Foods Causing Dairy Commissioner Much Trouble—Thrift Back to Work Soon. 6pecial to Times-rtepubUcan. Des Moines, March 23.—If the plans under way by the slate board of ag riculture are perfected the 1908 state lair will be the best the department lias ever given. For sotno years tho department has had in mind putting 011 an additional night attraction, and the most attractive of such features that has appealed to tho board has been a horse show. The matter has been consid ered before, but in the past the board has been unable to get the electricity necessary for the grounds and build ings at night, and the horse show has had to wait. This ytar it is possible that this show will be put on. if it is, it will be a complete horse show, and one of the finest in the country. The very best horses in the country are avail able at the time of the 1908 Iowa state fair, for the Iowa fair is one of the lirst held, and there are Ho big horse shows scheduled for that time. It is possible this year to have all the elec tric lights necessary, and the big stock pavilion at the fair grounds furnishes ample and very well adapted space for the attraction. It is proposed, in addition to show ing the finest carriage and saddle and "high school" horses, to add some at tractive vaudeville and circus features, such as bareback riding and the like. It is believed that an attractive horse show can be put on that will rival the fireworks attraction that is given be fore the amphitheatre. The amphithe atre has never been able to accom modate the crowds that have sought admission to the night attraction, and it is expected that the horse show will attract some of the crowd. It is believed that it will certainly be a money mak er, and that many will go to the grounds two nights to see both. Whether the horse show is finally decided upon or not. it is assured that the horse exhibit this year will be one of the finest that the fair has ever had. Professor Curtiss, of the State Agri cultural College at Ames, who is su perintendent of this department, is al ready in touch with some of the great est horse breeders of the country, and the inquiries that reach him and tho contracts for space already made give assurance that the exhibit will be es pecially fine. This year the fair will open on Sat urday instead of Monday, and will be two days longer than formerly. One of the plans is to make Saturday "Ur ion Labor Day," and have Gompf and Mitchell address the union r, during the day. The state food and dairy com iis sion office is having troubles all its own in endeavoring to convince some of the food manufacturers that they mu3t obey the law. The department is daily in receipt of letters from some manufacturers who are continually en deavoring to entei into negotiations with the department as to how the pure food law should be interpreted. Two of these obstreperous and voluminous letter writers have been arrested for violating the pure food law. but this does not deter them from writing more letters. One manufacturer makes some pan cake flour which he is determined to call buckwheat flour in spite of the fact that part of it is wheat flour. The new law provides that the per centage of the ingredients must be placed on the outside of the can or package and provides further that the can or package must not be mislabeled. In other words it must not say "Buck wheat Flour" when it is half wheat flour. Not but that it may be better for pancakes with some wheat, in it but that the 'people have a right to know what they are buying. All but a very small per cent of the pure food manufacturers of Iowa are now studiously obeying the state pure food law. There is but a small per cent that is not and this small per cent is rapidly coming into line be cause of the imposition of fines by justice courts. One manufacturer of a pancake flour who formerly labeled it "Pure Buckwheat Pancake Flour." has since the pure food law went into ef fect changed the label to some fancy name but still calls it "buckwheat." Commissioner Wright holds that the packages are misbranded for they still hold out the idea that the stuff is pure buckwheat. In order to induce the manufacturer to take the same view of the malter. however, he was forced to file a complaint and have the man arrested. Adjutant General W. H. Thrift, who three weeks ago fell and brok- three ribs, was at his office mained today. He re­ but a short time. He expects, however, to be able to take up his work regularly again in a few days. Miss Evanelle Lewis, daughter of Senator and Mrs. L. W. Lewis, died at the lionn- of her parents in Seattle, Wash., March S. Information of her death reached Iowa today in a letter from Senator Lewis. Senator Lewis served In the Thirty-Iirst general as sembly in 1906 and Miss Lewis re mained in IJes Moines during that ses sion. She was very prominent in Un social affairs of that session and made many friends. She was a talented young lady. Information is that she died after but one week's illness. a George F.

Geth man, one of the leading physicians of this place, has gone to the sanitarium at Colfax for treatment, having suf fered much of late with inflammatory rheumatism.

N E 7 1 Case of .Murderer of Mabel Sclio field Thrown Out of United States High Court ATTACKED AN IOWA STATUTE Thomas' Attorney's Carried Caso Up on Plea That State Law Abridged His Privileges—Court Makes Decis­ ions Holding Minnesota and North Carolina Rate Laws Invalid. Washington, March 23.—The case of Oharles Thomas, under sentence of life imprisonment in the Iowa penitentiary on the charge of murdering Mabel Schofield, in Des Moines, a case that was notorious some years ago, prac tically was decided by the supreme court of the United States today against Thomas, by dismissal of th® case he brought to the supreme court on the plea that the Iowa statute -giv ing the jury discretion in the matter of determining the degree of crime was a violation of the fourteenth amend ment to the constitution of the United States, in that it abridged his priv ileges. •The Case involving a conflict 6Ver ttad North Carolina railroad rate law was decided today by the supreme court of the United States. The decision holds the law invalid. The supreme court of the United States today held thi\ Minnesota rail road rate law to be unconstitutional, because of the enormous penalties lm posed by it. The supreme court at the same ttnte denied the petition of Attorney General Young of Minnesota, for a writ of ha beas corpus in the case in which he is held for contempt of court by the United States circuit co'urt of Minne sota because he refused to abide by the injunction issued by that court forbid ding him from taking any action look ing to the enforcement of the maxi mum railroad rate law. The court at the same time pronounced invalid the Minnesota law regulating both freight and passenger rates. The opinion was announced by Jus tice Peckham, who held the Minnesota law to be unconstitutional on its fac® because enormous penalties were im posed for disobedience to it. Justin Harlan delivered a dissenting opinion, from a .Vl I i'i 1 in which he expressed the view that decisions of the court Minnesota and' North Carolina cases marks a new era in the relationship between states an:l the federal government and between federal and state courts. He contend ed the suit ol the railroad company ini the Minnesota case was in reality 3, suit against the state, and he dwelt all length upon the enormity of permitting a subordinate United States court to order th-? imprisonment of an official of 1 sovereign state to test the law of that state.

St Probable That Nebraskan's Friends Will Control Conven tion, After a Fight DIVISION IN ^'1 ri DELEGATIONS Bryan's Friend# Expect to Adopt Ne braska Platform and Instruct Dele gates* at-Large Several Districts Will Nam* Anti-Bryan Delegates Results in County Convention. Special to Times-Republican. Des Moines, March 23—Enough democratic county conventions In Iowa have been held to indicate that while the Bryanites will probably control, the opposition will be sufficiently strong to cause the Nebraskan trouble in the state convention which meets in Cedar Rapids Thursday. The Bryanites expect to adopt the Nebraska platform, in substance, and Instruct the delegates-at-large to vote for Bryan at the Denver convention. But they are not sanguine about their ability to send all Bryan men to the convention. Some of the districts are 'controlled by the conservatives. It is probable that Jerry B. Sullivan and Claude R. Porter will be put on the delegation at -large without oppo sition. Judge Martin J. Wade may go on and possibly Gen. James B. Weaver or Dan Hamilton. Some other names have been mentioned, but probably from these men will be selected the democratic big four. In the districts controlled by the conservatives the Bryan men expect to see selected to go to Denver men who •have no sympathy with Mr. Bryan or 'the movement he represents. They ex pect a repetition of the experience at St. Louis four year's ago, when some members of the. delegation abandoned 'Mr. Hearst's interests, tho the Iowa ^delegation was instructed for him. No contest except that on delegates _Jat-lairge wffll come before the Cedar Ttaplds convention. No effort will be •made to forestall the primary law by nominating a candidate for senator. Claude R. Porter will be the tempor ary chairman of the convention, and It Is probable that John Denison will be the permanent chairman. They were the members of the democratic ticket in 1906. In the county conventions held Sat urday afternoon Louisa, Boone, Web ster, Muscatine, Wapello, Jefferson and 'Ida selected instructed delegations for Bryan. Des Moines county turned down "Bryan resolutions, and Johnson coun ty refused to instruct. These, added to 'the other uninstructed delegations, will 'be a power in the state convention, and ••^111 hold sufficient strength to make trouble. FRANKLIN COUNTY DEMOCRATS.

Eklora, March 23.—This city was all excitement Saturday evening, over the rumor that two children had been kid naped, and that the kidnaper had gone toward Gifford with the children.

LOW DITCH CONTRACTS LET. Franklin County Board of Supervis ors to Be Congratulated. Special to Times-Republican. Hampton, March 23.—The board of supervisors of the county were in ses sion five days of last week, consider ing matters in relation to ditch work in the west part of the county. Two proposed ditches have been under con sideration by the board for many months, -the Scott-Hamilton drainage district No. 3, and the Oakland and Morgan township drainage district No. 2. The ditches are each to be about five miles in length, and, together with the open ditch and the lateral that will eventually lead to these big ditch es, a vast area of the lo\M wet land in that part of the county will be drained sufficiently for agricultural or grazing purposes. March 20 was 'the day advertised for the opening of bids for the performance of the work. Several bids were on file, and the successful bidders were: For the Scott-Hamilton project, West Bend Drainage Company, West Bend, 7% cents per cubic yard, for the Oak land and .Morgan ditch Indiana Drain age Company, Thompton, 7% cents per cubic yard. 'It is estimated by the engineer in charge of the work, that the removal of 109,000 cubic yards of material will be necessary in the con struction of the first named improve ment, and 99,000 cubic yards in the second. It is stated that the members of the board had expected the work to cost considerably more than the prices mentioned, and that they were agree ably surprised upon opening the bids to find them so low. The obtaining of the low 'bids for the work Is matter upon which the board is to be con gratulated as well as the land owners of the districts, upon whom the tax burden will not fall as heavily as was anticipated. It Is understood that the price for a similar work constructed two or three years ago In the same vicinity was about 11 cents per cubic yard. NEIGHBORS AT WAR.

March 23.—Authorities of Fayette county are convinced they are working on a clue that will land the murderer of Arlo Whitebeck be hind the bars. Mr. Wiiitbeck, who was upward of 60 years of age and lived on a farm two and a half miles front West Union, was brutally murdered last Wednesday night by a man who struck him five times on the head with a sled stake. The aged man was working about the barn at the time of the assault, his body being found in the yard by William Strickland, a neigh bor, who visited the Whitbeck farm a short time after the murder. About the only clue that Sheriff Culver had to work on was a handful of hair which Mr. Whitbeck had snatched from the head of his assail ant. He set to work at once and with in a. short time had a man under sus picion. The fellow was seen loitering near the Whitlock premises about 6:30 o'clock on tlie night of the mur der and the same man was seen be tween 11:00 and 12:00 o'clock Wed nesday ,night at another point. He was in a muddy, bedraggled condition and gave evidence of having traveled rapidly on foot. He was apparently nervous, and Sheriff Culver had such strong suspicions against the fellow that he sent out descriptions of him. Sheriff Culver received a message from the authorities at Trenton, S. D., that a man answering the description of the one wanted at West Union had been detained at Trenton. He was nabbed about 1 o'clock in the morning \WiiIe walking along the Milwaukee tracks. The subject will be Investi gated. Th? murder of Arlo Whitbeck Is be ing investigated by Coroner J. F. Cole and a jury consisting of Sam Musser, Will Dickson and E. E. Pitts. It was learned that Mr. Whitbeck had drawn $135 from the bank in Fort Atkinson, and hl$ pocket book was found on his person empty. There was just one penny found In a pocket. There were five gashes on his head from two to three Inches In length, from which the blood flowed profusely. He had a bunch of hair In his right hand, and it is thought that it may be a clue to the Identity of the mur derer. It was Intimated here that the man wanted by Sheriff Culver for the murder of Arlo Whitbeck is not a stranger as many at first supposed. In sa j,j he js a near relative of the murdered man. The name of the party suspected of beating the old man to'death Is being withheld until more evidence is secured to establish his guilt. BURGLARIES AT CRESTON.

To a great many people It will al ways be a matter of regret that Theo dore Roosevelt did not have the oppor tunity of presiding over the delibera tion# of the United States senate at least one term. He was elected vice president and was called to the presidency before he had a chance to take the gavel in the senate. It is very probable that with Roosevelt wielding the gavel some of the traditions which have so long encumbered the sonata would have been smashed. One of these traditions, which have come to be the equivalent of law, re lates to the right of addressing the senate at length. The rule of the sen ate Is that the new member remain silent. This has grown up as a cus- ONE TRUST'S WAY. It Is given out on what Is deemed competent authority that the steel trust continues to sell its product abroad at a price of 30 per cent lower tnan the price in our protected coun try. This is' not a freak price or one made just to get rid of a big stock or to gain entrance into new territory, but it is a regular thing. Perhaps this would not provoke any criticism but for the fact that it is giv en out at the same time that the steel trust will not manufacture save upon orders for delivery ln this country and will not get a large supply of material on hand so that deliveries can be made instantly. Even this might not be s»i veryt bad but for the fact that it Is well known among the consumers of the trust's product that an inferior ar ticle is being turned out. That the trust Is putting out Inferior goods has been demonstrated by the largest consumers of steel, the rail roads, and they are buying only sub ject to Inspection. 8o much poor steel was found that the buyers had to pro tect themselves. But they cannot fully protect themselves and In the end the public will suffer, ftr poor steel means loss of life and loss of property. It is also known that the trust is putting out wire that Is not as good as that which was made by Independent con cerns before the trust was formed. This wire directly affects the farmers, for they are bilying more wire than ever before and they ought to have the best. But whether the product is wire or steel rails or structural steel the harm done by a poor product comes directly to the people. It has been said by the trust defend ers in extenuation that the formation of trusts tend to Improvement of the methods of manufacture and better products. If that was true there would be some force to the argument. But in the case of the steel trust it appears that monopoly has resulted in inferior product. A.nd the steel makers are very very strongly opposed to any revision of the tariff and they think that revision would be as bad after election as be fore it YOUNG MAN, BE CLEAN. An evangelist talked to young men Sunday on 'The Clean Life." He urged them to live right, and to be not only honest and upright in their business dealings, but to make their personal lives above reproach—to be clean in both body and mind. Sa,djknow said Senator Glucose, "ana In politics has kept him ^e. He thinks be can be /hoot spending a cent"— Country. The young man Is the one whom torn. Of course the old members have I fallen in readily with the custom, and hesitate before she gave up as for the newer ones, Inasmuch as without a little investigation. Indiscre- the custom has almost made it ncces-i to those who want some excuse for re maining In the senate.- But in recent years, so It Is stated, a great many new members have come Into the senate and this custom Is not so rigidly held as In other years. Sen ator LaFoilette, for instance, never paid any attention to Hie tradition. He spoke right out, and the senators re mained in their seats to listen. The new senators from the southern states world blind, and the cause Is so ap parent that no and from Oklahoma have shown wan ton .disregard of this rule. In fact It has been Impossible to maintain the been somewhat 'broken in ranks. The rule and the custom are wrong. The men who are fresh from the peo ple should speak and act. New ideas are needed in the senate as well as in business. The younger and newer men should be ^heard,' not io the exclusion of the older counselors but certainly on an equality with them. evangelists try hardest to sav jt I Men of mature years, who have passed j|Unerv dealers tvport onlv a inod jeretand that he has long been, tllru t)le are waflmB for the different stages of life, and I rate trade of the snares and pi,falls that b"y hand, realize better than anv one what is before the young man in life. To be clean, mentally, morally, and physically, would be the wish of ev- ory father for Ins son, and what liner testimonial could be paid to the young man than to say truthfully, "Me Is a clean young fellow," ami uicau clean in vory way A double code of morals Is genoiall.\ accepted in this age, and niore's tilt pitv. The average young man figures that he must necessarily sow some wild oats at some time in Ills life, and who is to do the reaping seldom enters his mfnd. That his sins shall be visited unto the third and fourth generations means nothing to him. for he has no thought for the future. Hut there conies a time in tin- life of this young man when he would give worlds, If he possessed them, to undo one indiscreet act to live over one short period in his past to sow again, that he might reap the golden grain rather than the tares and thistles. What young mail is there but who some day fancies himself us the head of a little home, Willi If your family physician could talk without violating professional ethics he could tell tales that would make the mother shudder, and compel her to tions ln this Wlld oats sary for constituencies to keep their brought more misery into the world senators in office for life, It looks good than the most of us imagine, and, worst of all, the reaping is done by a "d Young man, be clean. ,uu virtuous wife and innocent children.

Your doctor could re late how children are born into the second diagnosis is nec- essary. These are not fancies of mind, but rule, especially since the coterie which facts, duly recognized by the medical has so long governed the senate has world. They are facts, too, that the young man may do well to ponder over seriously. They are also facts that the young \yonian can not treat lightly and be true to herself and her posterity. It's up to you, young man. Be clean. Live right. Ohoose for your girl friends those with whom you would have your sister associate. Be honest with yourself, and to "her." Look ahead a few years, and imagine the twtcome of a dissipated youth. BUSINESS AT LEADING POINTS. Trade reports indicate a little more activity, and the percentage of idle ma chinery decreases, but more reductions in wages and dividends sihow that the process of readjustment will take some time. Weather conditions in all sec tions facilitate the distribution of sea sonable wearing apparel and house furnishings, improving sentiment, yet retailers are not disposed to replenish stocks beyond tho business actually in sight. Thus far no strife is expected to follow the new wage scales that go into effeet next month, and the nmn- ber Qf imp,lipioyed will be materially reduced if labor will contribute its share to the lower cost of production necessary to restore normal consump­ tion. Liabilities of commercial failures thus far reported for March amounted to $10,S25,167, of which $3,749 762 were in manufacturing, $6,199,358 in trading and $876,047 in other commercial lines. Failures this week numbered 323 in the United tSates against 185 last year, and 36 in Canada compared with 25 a year ago. Chicago.—New demands ln leading industries make an improving exhibit in Iron, steel, machinery and wood working, and there is further addition to machinery and hands employed. Building operations and 'heavy con struction make a seasonable start, the work ln sight assuring a busy year, and the outlook imparts more strength to the buying of structural steel, lumber and quarry products. Navigation on the lakes between nearby ports is opened, thus adding to the general movement of freight, which is now heavier by rail than a month ago, al tho marketings of grain have slack ened. "Weather conditions at various country points were adverse to trans portation, the roads being unusually soft, but there Is now more demand on the western railroads for increased car supply, and the indications are good for more liberal forwarding of breadstuffs.

Then they found the Ameri can Economist, organ of the Protec tive Tariff league, echoing their senti ments when It declared that Bryan would be better than Taft because the former would be checkmated by the senate. So Laeey took the platform commit tee In charge and prepared a coating of sugar which would cover and con ceal the bitter ohio pill and make It taste pleasant in the mouth whatever ruction it might hereafter make in the internals of standpattlsm. "We de clare unequivocally for protection." It is the "cardinal principle" of republi can party. We say. now. as the plat form in 1901 said, that the schedules .should be changed when conditions de mand. And, of course, conditions never demand revision in prosperous times and disturbs it In bad times. Having thus sugarcoated the Taft pill they swallow it. They actually tried to look pleasant as it went down. Tho Sioux City Journal points to it this morning with pride and says: Who says we are standpatters now'.' And they pretend that they heartily support Taft who, on May 14, 1906, advised tho president that "in con sideration of general principles it is your duty to buy where you can obtain the material, supplies and ma chinery (for the canal) at the cheap est price, other conditions as to qual ity. prompt delivery, etc., being equal." Great is Humbug! DEALING IX "FUTURES" (Cedar Rapids Gazette.) There is legitimate investment in stocks, just as there is legitimate buy ing of grain futures by business inter ests. But legitimate investment does not mean that it is right for speculat ors who are nothing more than gam blers to hammer the market down or create fictitious values for the purpose of fleecing other investors. A stock exchange Is undoubtedly a legitimate institution, but it ought to be curbed so that the great business interests will not be endangered. As to forbidding the buying of grain futures, that is not to be thought of. Buying on margins as practiced by millers and other business interests, is I legitimate. Of course, there are indi viduals who speculate to the point of gambling. It will be hard to prevent that Just as it would be practically impossible to prevent speculation in land to the point of gambling.

The reason is this: We buy Michigan beans, because a certain soil there produces the best beans grown. Then we select them by hand, so we get only the whitest, the plumpest, the fullest-grown. We bake these beans in ovens heated up to 245 degrees. That fierce heat is required to make beans digestible, and you can't apply it. That is why home-baked beans are heavy food. We bake in live steam, so all beans are baked alike. And they are baked without bursting. They are nutty because they are whole. Then we bake the beans, the tomato sauce and the pork all together. Thus we get our delicious blend. That's why Van Camp's beans are better than yours* We Pay $3.45 We could buy tomato juice for 75c a barrel. Yet we pay $3.45 for just the tomatoes used in a barrel of ours. The difference is this: Cheap sauce is made from toma toes picked green and ripened shipment. It is flat. Else it is made from skins and cuttings—scraps from ft canning factory. Such sauce is not rich. Ours is made from whole tomatoes—ripened on the vines—picked when the juice fairly sparkles. The result is this: Our beans are nutty, yet mealy. Our sauce has a flavor, a tang, a zest which Nature alone can give. They show you how good beans can be. Some brands may cost less—and no wonder. But your people won't like them. When you serve Van Camp's, your people will want them daily. They'll eat them in place of meat. ^n(§mp's /V*1 These beans are always ready. When you are tired, nere's a meal without labor. When you are hurried, here's a meal without waiting. And no other meal can compare with it. .Think how much bother they'll save you. Beans are 84 per cent nutriment. They are just as appetizing, just as nourishing as meat. They will be yonr main dish once a day, as they should be, when you once know Van Camp's.

New Yorlc. March 2."?.—Governor Cummins, of low i, who was in town Saturday night to attend the Iowa so ciety dinner, sah! that Taft will be nominated on the first ballot and elected. Ho also predicted that Kryan will be the democratic candidate. Iowa is for TaCt for president," said Cummins, "because he represents Roosevelt policies. Republicans there believe if elected lie will follow up the policies. They have been consist ent supporters of Roosevelt ideas for several years. Of course, if President Roosevelt should be a candidate, he would be the choice of Towa republi cans. I apprehend that if a majority of the delegates cannot be obtained for Taft the president will reconsider his decision and '30 a candidate. That is a remote contingency, however. "How could Roosevelt be a candi date after what he has said?" The governor was asked. 'If Roosevelt stands square! and does nothing to bring about, his nom ination, he would not have the right to decline the nomination if the con vention wanted him. He could ac cept the honor without stultification." Cummins said he believed the elec tion would result in a close, hard light, but that Taft would win. Governor Cummins -and Governor Charles E. (Hughes of New York, were guests of honor at the third annual banquet of the Iowa society of New Yorlc, .Saturday night. Each received a flattering reception, but the name that received ths greatest acclaim tliruout the after-dinner proceedings was thut of Roosevelt. General Granville M. Dodge, as president, started the enthusiasm for Roosevelt, when in oalling for a toast to be drunk to him he said that to Iowa Roosevelt ranked with Washing ton, Lincoln, Grant and aicKinley. The diners rose and cheers rang out that were long and hearty. Governor Cummins, who later responded to the toast "Iowa," was given an ovation when he rose to speak. Cummins said in part: "We applauded Charles E. Hughes as he laid bare the wickedness of men charged with the most sacred trust that can be committed by mortal hands. We cheered another eminent son of New York as he boldly struck out thru the unexplored wilderness of statesmanship, guided only by the compass of conscience, and we are cheering him still. Our people never tire in their acclaim. AH hail to Theodore Roosevelt. It is said he has made mistakes I suppose he has, but mistakes of a man trying to find a safe path are better than the inac tion of a man who shrinks away, say ing "There is no path—let us be con tent as we are." It is said, that he talks too much it may be so, but I would rather hear the voice of a man declaring what he 'believes to be the truth, even if he is wrong, than to listen to the platitudes of a man who is too cowardly or too conservative to say anything." Cummins then discussed Iowa's leg islation against corporations, citing the many regulative measures passed.* Speaking of the two-cent fare law, he said the measure was passed "Not to reduce revenues, but to remove dis crimination." A great many of our people who could best afford to pay were traveling for nothing on passes. A great many more who had money enough to buy mileage books were traveling at two cents a mile. The remainder of our people, those who could least afford to pay, were trav eling at three cents a mile. The aver age rate received was little less than two cents, and all we did was to say, "Make all your passengers pay the same rate." As to the causes of the financial troubles the governor said: "Look rather to the system which has per mitted reckless men to flood the coun try and its markets with worthless and baseless stocks and inadequately pro tected bonds look rather to the sys tem, which in our sto.ck exchanges makes one-half of the members im placable enemies of every corporation whose stocks are listed for purchase or sale look ratlie^ to the system of banking which at the very moment when banks are most needed compels them to suspend their most impor tant functions and above all and be yond all, look at 'the spirited which has repudiated the eternal and in the end overpowering truth that stable, per manent wealth can be produced only by honest and faithful labor." It was nearly midnight when Gov ernor Hughes arrived in the banquet hall. In his speech lie commended state pride and discussed the magni tude of New York and the part it played in the nation. Other speakers were Senator Dolli ver. of Iowa Representative Frank O. Lowden and Judj?e John P. Dillon, of New lork, and J. B. Sullivan, of Iowa. RENEW COLLEGE ROMANCE.

"U, The Ann Arbor Geologic Folio. The United States Geological Sur vey announces the publication of Folio No. ir.f of the Geological Atlas of tlii! United States, descriptive of tile Ann Arbor quadrangle of Michigan, which embraces an area of XS-1.8 5 square miles In the southeastern por tion of the Southern Peninsula and comprises a large part of Washtenaw county and small adjacent portions of liivingston, Oakland, Wayne, Mon roe, and I.evvanee counties. Near the geographic center of the quadrangle In the city of Ann Arbor, from which It is named. Particularly interesting and valu able Is the account given of the peat deposits, which abound thruout the quadrangle and which will undoubted ly be extensively utilized In the future as the sources of other kinds of fuel are more and more depleted. Peat has been used In Kurope not only as a fuel but also In other ways and for many other purposes. Gas and coke, with various by-products, have been tmuM fre,m it. and it has been converted Into paper and oilier fabrics, certain pro ducts used as packing and as bedding for stock, and a. number of valuable fertilizers. As a fuel peat must be dried and put into portable form and many methods have been devised for accom plishing these ends. The material may be used locally, however, without such careful preparation, by adopting' the simple methods of the European peasants, who cut from the deposits blocks of fairly uniform size, stack them up In such a way that they dry The marl deposits of the quadrangle are also very valuable. Water Powers of Southern Streams. The streams whose headwa ers lie among the peaks of the Southern Appalachians, flowing westward to the Mississippi or eastward to the Atlantic, furnish opportunities for the development of waterpower so won derful that the meagerness of their I during the summer and then store: them under cover. The fuel value of good peat is about three-fifths that of coal, weight for weight, but It Is prob- present market value. The enormous ably a more efficient fuel than this ratio would indicate, as a considerable pnrt of coal is rejected with the ash and clinkers while part Is almost whol ly burned. It is estimated that a. single acre of peat 1 foot in depth will fur nish from 150 to 200 tons of dry fuel, and that this amount is present for every foot In depth to which the peat extends. The arenl geology map of the Ann Arbor quadrangle show-' Ihat the surface area of peat is large and some of the deposits are known to bp 70 feet deep, while miry of them are at lenst 20 feet In depth. present use for this purpose Is little less than marvelous. The position of persons you may beautify to your these rivers as prime factors In the industrial growth of the south is well recognized, and the power develop ment that has taken place In the re gion thus watered Is unparalleled In any other portion of the United States. Yet the amount of power utilized Is Insignificant when compared with the immense resources of the region. Engineers of the United States Geological Survey, after making a careful ^study of the streams, the quantitj of water they cart and horsepower, at loast their fall in various portions of their, „t,-. available for economic development. These figures, it should be noted, If auxiliary power were provided supplement the water in short seasons heart's content, but you must leave their meat alone." Nursing Mothers and courses, have estimated that they! bladdf afford a minimum of about 2,800,000 a°efted 50 per cent ot. which, or 1,100.000 horse power, is of deficiency, 2',i times this amount -•/=-j might be profitably utilized and if the flood waters could be stored and the flow of the streams properly regu lated, the minimum power available for economic development might be increased from three to fifteen times. It Is evident, therefore,• that an esti mate of the present value of these water powers, based on 50 per cent of the minimum Indicated horse power, has so many factors of safety that It is very conservative. An extremely low average of the present rental value of water power Is $20 per horsepower per year. The rental value of 1,400,000 horsepower would therefore amount to 128,000,000, which is equivalent to an I ncomc of 3 per cent on a capital of JOS.'},000,000 Hut the resource represented by this water power Is far greater than its and wasteful consumption of fuel Is so rapidly depleting the supply that It must become more and more costly A,s a result the present disparity be tween the cost of fuel power and that of water power will constantly In crease, and the demand for water power will increase accordingly. Purple Pork, Etc. "Mutchers tried last year to intro duce beautiful meats. They sold blue chops, green steaks, purple pork and so on. But the Idea didn't take." The speaker, a meat exporter, smiled and went on: "It was in Vienna, that splendid little cltv, that the idea arose. In Viennese restaurants, for a month or more, the waiter asked if you preferred your me-it 'natural' or 'beautified.' I'll never forget, there in Vienna, the shock I had on cutting into a juicy, grass-colored sirloin with an edging of violet fat. "No, the idea failed. The people don't want their meat beautified.

If you do (arid perhaps you played "hookey" from school to see it), you must consider that the most delicious experience you have ever known. Per haps you think you can never have just the same sensation. There you are wrong. Seeing "Peter Pan," J. AI. Barrie's splendid fantasy, is just like seeing a circus for the first time, in that one is entirely lost in the beauty, wonder and laughter-compelling spec tacle before him. Nothing can so awaken the eternal boy that is in ev ery healthy, vigorous man of mature years as can "Peter Pan." It takes you back to the golden days when life was care free, and fills the heart and mind with the wh-p delightful sen sations that marked that glorious pe riod. At the Odeon theater tonight.

SI® '•.wmmm- •'•mm- Four indictments Returned Against Donald A. Johnson, of Green Mountain Hank JOHNSON IN CEDAR RAPIDS Grand Jury Charges Him With Per­ jury, Embezzlement, Falsifying the Bank's Books, and Receiving Depos­ it# When He Know the B^pk to Be Insolvent—Harold Smith Discharged. Donald A. Johnson, cashier of tho Green Mountain Savings bank, was in dicted in four Indictments returned by the grand jury late Saturday after noon. The indictments charge per jury, embezzlement of tho funds of the bank, making false entries In the bank's books, and receiving deposits when he knew the bank was Insolvent. All of the charges, except that of making false entries In the books of the bank, had previously been made against Johnson In the complaints filed In the justice court before he had been held to the grand jury. This charge has to do with the man ner and method Johnson employed In recording deposits made at the banlc during the few days just preceding its close. The Indictment charging perjury re fers to the affidavit Johnson Is alleged to have made, to the state auditor re garding the number of shares of the bank's stock that he owned and had paid for. The indictment charging receiving deposits for the bank when he knew it to be Insolvent covers the same peri od of time referred to In the indict ment charging Johnson with making false entries In the bank's books. The indictment charging embezzlement cov ers the alleged misappropriation funds. of Johnson in Cedar Rapids. Johnson is in Cedar Rapids, as far as is known here. An effort is being made by his attorneys to liav« the bond for $3,000, on which he was released from Jail, continued and made surety for his appearance in the district court. Judge Parker lias the question I of the continuation of the present bond under advisement. It Is understood that Johnson is ready to come to the city to answer to the Indictments, In case the present bond is allowed to re I main in force. This bond was signed by A. F. Balch and George A. Tur ner, who were secured by Vice Pres- Ident McGrew of the Omaha National bank. Harold Smith Released. Harold Smith, who was arrested on a charge of larceny from the S. B. Chap man home, 106 West Church street, was released from jail late Saturday afternoon after the grand jury had re ported no bill found against him. The grand jury did not indict Smith, prln clpally for the reasons that Mr. Chap man was not disposed to prosecute the young man, also because the totnl val ue of the goods taken was less than $20.

BULLDOG CAUSES RUNAWAY. Horse Killed and Occupants of Wagon Narrowly Escape Injury. Two boys driving a bulldog to a lit tle express wagon, a farmer's dog, and the consequent mixup between the dogs, were the cause of a bad runaway in East Main street, near the North western packing house spur, Saturday afternoon. M. F. Louthan, a farmer living on East Main street, was re turning home from town. With him in his wagon were his 17-year-old son Randolph, and Russell Ball, a boy of about young Louthan's age.

It affords ideal nourishment for all ages—from infancy to maturity for ail conditions—from the Invalid to the Athlete. "There's a Reason." ?n 'A Tiinss-fiqmMirait, ^IfarslTalltoit ^xtv wagon, lie thought but little of It. however, until he saw the bulldog swerve from the duties of beast of bur den to do battle with a strange dog. Louthan's dog, as soon as lie. realized tho onslaught, ran straight for hi.! master's wagon, as almost any farm er's dog will. Tiie result was a battle that started almost under the burses' heels. This frightened the animals, a line team of sorrH marcs, and lliey be gan to run. Tin' occupants of the wag on Were spilled out. and lie breaking of the reach released the horses. They ran "00 yards, and one collided with .1 telephone pole, sustaining Injuries that resulted in death an hour and a hnir later. The experience was a cosily one for Mr. Louthai'. but at the same time he feels thai tlic accident was fortun ate In that neither be nor the boys was badly hurt.

Dr. Buckner Talks of Sjatanic Influence Over Man. About 1400 were present at the Methodist church Sunday evening, thi being the largest of any of the meet- the plan of salvation whereby all may return to him. but he does everything in Ills power to persuade and Induce men to accept this plan.

Fowler Creamery Introduce Improvements. Special to Titnos-RepubllcaA Grinnell, March 23.—A. D. Talbott, who has been kept at home for a number of days hy the grippe, and complications, is now reported as be ing oil the road to complete recovery. Rev. William K. Bennett, who re cently resigned the pastorate ot: the Congregational church of Marion, Tnd.. spent a brief time here visiting with his old-timo schoolmate. Rev. Pas co in. T. E. Bray, of 1707 Sixth avenue, who has lieon in failing health for several months, Is at present in no very en couraging condition. The regular monthly meeting of the men's club of the Congregational church for March, will take place on Wednesday evening of this week, the buffet lunch being appointed for 6:30. "Street Improvement" is the subject for discussion. The Spaulding Manufacturing com pany have practically decided to in stall a sprinkling system in the factory, that will 'be so complete in its protec tion that every foot of space in every room of the factory will be subject to a heavy spray of water on the applica tion of a comparatively low degree of heat. The first cost of installing the systetm will be about $7,000, but the saving to the company in insurance rates is guaranteed to pay this cost in about three- years. Marshalltown said to have such a system, either in actual use or in process of Installation in one of its extensive factories. It is said that the cost of installing the system Is so .great that no establish ment or Institution with less than $100,000 at risk can afford to adopt it. If It were not for this fact, there are several other places in Grinnell that would gladly have the 'protection. The J. W. Fowler creamery and artificial ice plant has undergone con siderable change and renovation re cently, that enlarges the capacity as well as adds to the convenience of live work very considerably. The cream vats, testing apparatus and office have all been moved to the upper floor, and a new and enlarged tank built upon the roof. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Karn.'i, who have been living for some months In the Burton property on Fourth ave nue, will start tomorrow morning with their household effects for the farm near Albia, where they expect to make their home for the near future. Hon. Ellsworth Rominger, of Bloom lield. has accepted the invitation ex tended to him by Gordon Granger post, of this city, to deliver the Memorial day address at the foot of the G. A. R. monument in the cemetery, if the weather is fitting, and in the Colonial if otherwise. I^ast year in the pour ing rain, the audience listened in the Colonial to the eloquent words of Hon orable N. E. Kendall, of Albia. There is not even the smell of politics in any thing connected with this annual ad dress, but if there were, this action would be in the line of absolute ibpar tiality, as both these men are candi dates for the republican nomination for congress from the Sixth district. Professor L. F. Parker, who has been closely confined to his home for some time by an attack of grippe, was so far recovered yesterday as :o ride in a closed carriage to a neighbor's house and officiate at a wedding.

Mrs. John Matheson and daughter Janette attended the funeral of a rela tive, Mrs. Murray, at Toledo, last Fri day. Will Ziegler was a member of the Grinnell basket ball team that was vic torious over the Simpson tean\ at Des Moines, last Saturday. Miss Edith Mantle is home Tor the spring vacation from Rockwell City, where she is a teacher. ONLY ONE "BEST." Marshalltown People Give Credit Where Credit is Due. People of Marshalltown who suffer with sick kidneys and bad backs want a kidney remedy that can be depende'3 upon. The best is Doari's Kidney Pills, a medicine for the kidneys only, made, from pure roots and herbs, and. the only one that is backed by cures in Marshalltown. Here's Marshalltown testimony: William Rarnhill .retired, 408 South Second street. Marshalltown. Iowa, says: "I can recommend Doan's Kid­ ney Pills as an excellent remedy for kidney I rouble. For some time I have suffered greatly from backache and an annnying weakness of my kidneys. It sometimes scenvd as If iny back was splitting and there was a constant pain from my shoulders down to my kidneys.

Chicago, March 23.—Cattle were 10 @15c higher. Receipts were only mod erate. Shippers and scalpers were in tile market early, but packers held off in the hope of securing some slight declines. When the latter linalty came in, prices were at the highest. Has a real shortage in beef cattle developed? Is the question that trad ers aro asking each ither these days of llighty prices. Buyers are evidently apprehensive that they are up against a hard proposition and will have to advance current rates unueh more than they want to. The general market Is 75c higher than a month ago on the good cattle, and fully a dollar higher on the majority of the medium grades. This advance has come much faster than the most optimistic expected, and the ^general belief is that it will stay. Not as many cattle were put oil feed as usual last fall and winter, ami con sequently there are not as many avail able now. Indications are that there will bo a short supply for some time to come, and If the demand keeps up its present pace, there is going to be a struggle to get the stuff. jgs. There was a decline of 11,000 in re ceipts, compared with last Monday, and strong demand from shippers and speculators yesulted in an advance of 5c all along the line. Packers were bearishly inclined. Eastern orders were good. It is very unusual for the shipping demand to be so strong at this sea son of the year. Packers admit that there is a strong demand for the fresh product and that is a strong factor in Inducing the shippers to take hold. During all last week there was a bet ter tone to the provision trade and that helped some to give the market a boost. It "begins to look evident that the big end of the crop has been mar keted. Thousands of hogs were rushed in during tlie wild period of liquidation and sold at a low. price, and it is the popular opinion now that thefre is not a very large supply left. &heep. Sheep wore KcfflTic higher. Tho market was very active. Receipts were 4,000 more than last Monday. Last week's supply is 12.000 less than the 'previous one and 30.000 less than a year ago. Nearby feeders are be ginning to realize that they were too impatient to get their stuff lo mar ket and sacrificed them at a price that was t.oo low to make a 'protlt. Now most of the supply Is coming from Colorado, and the upturn in the trade looks pretty good to feeders in that part of the country. Early in the sea son they were filled with disappoint ment and despair, for prices were at least a dollar too low to let them out. I Chicago Livestock. Chicago, March 23.

Washington March 23.—President Roosevelt's special 'message to cong ress. which will be transmitted this week, is a doc uncut of more far reach ing important than has been gener ally supposed. It has been made known to the president's friends that the mes sage is Intended to form the basis tor the republican national platform of 1908 Instead of being merely a group ing of suggestions as to legislation which the president desires to have adopted itt the present legislative ses sion. What Is regarded as one of the most important, if not the most Important features of the message from a po litical standpoint Is the president's dis cussion of la ior boycotts. It is declared that he takes Issue with the demands of Samuel Gompers and the representatives of organized labor, and the Sherman anti-trust law should be amended so as to exempt labor un ions from the operation of the law, and lavs down principles interpreted to mean that the republican party should meet organized labor squarely in the next campaign on the boycott propo sition.

To attempt to explain this understood attitude of 'Mr. Roosevelt In the face of the knowledge that the administra tion has put an embargo on prosecu tions of labor unions for boycotting would be plainly speculative upon the basis of the information at hand as to the position taken In his forthcoming message. Bui the Information that Mr. RooSeveif virtually locks horns with organized labor ill regard to the lia bility of labor unions to prosecution under the Sherman law for maintain ing boycotts is direct and positive and comes from a reliable source. Enough Is known to show that at the several conferences between the presi dent, members of the civic federation, and others with the object of prepar ing a bill amendatory of the Sherman law. Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Gompers came to a deadlock. Mr. Gompers was insistent that the amendatory bill should include a. direct exception of labor unions from classi fication as "combinations in restraint of trade." and it is declared that cor poration lawyers who participated in the conference were willing that tills suggestion should be accepted, believ ing thai, the mandatory legislation might fall if it were not. On the face of the proposition, however, it ap peared to, be unconstitutional in that it provided for giving special exemp tion. Mr. Gompers declined to sanction tlie bill without this exemption and the president. It Is declared, declined to change his nosition. Mr. Gompers put his suggestions in the following pro posed ^amendments to the Sherman law: "That nothing in said act or in this act is intended, nor shall any provis ions thereof hereafter be enforced so as to apply to organizations or asso ciations not for profit and without cap ital stock, nor to the members of such organizations or associations. "That nothing in said act or in this act is intended or shall any provision thereof hereafter be enforced so as to apply to any arrangements, agree ments, or combinations among persons engaged in agriculture or among per sons engaged in agriculture or horti culture, made with a view of enhanc ing the price of their own agricultural or horticultural products." Gives Relief on Injunctions. The forthcoming message will'con tain. however, a recommendation for the enactment of legislation in regard to the issue of injunctions against la bor unions.- The president will urge the passage WeaR Kidneys Weak Kidneys, surely point to weak kidnej Nerves.

The proposed law is to ho recom mended for enactment as part, of the, program of legislative business which Uie president and republican leaders 111 the senate and the bouse have mapped ?ut for the present session. Tho leaders have declined so far, how ever, to agree to include this measure in the program, and it is not likely to be adopted. The present week will see practical ly the completion of the conference between the president and congress leaders with a view to a greeing upon the measures to be adopted before ad journment. ITp to this time these include a res oliitloiiVauthoii/.ing the committee on linance of the senate and the commit tee on wavs and means of the house to make an iiniuiry into tariff schedules, with the intention of revising the tar iff at. a special session of the sixty llrst congress, lo be called in March, I HO!) an employers' liability bill, a linanclal bill along the lines of the pending AUricli measure, and a bill for the regulation of child labor in the District of Columbia to serve as a model for states. The president is anxious to have the congress leaders agree to put thru at tills session other measures he will recommend in his special message, but has not succeeded in obtaining their consent. These additional measures include the bill to modify the anti trust law, limit the anti-injunction bill and a bill for creating postal savings banks.
