Des Moines, Ia. March IA tre-
mendouS sensation was caused in the
Iowa legislature this morning when
Representative Lambert read portions
OF letter said to have been sent by
building and loan associations over the
state, making wholesale charges of
legislative corruption. Speaker Byers
demanded the letter to be read In its
entirety. Mr.. Lambert refused saying
the communication was confidential
The speaker ordered the sergeant-at
arms to procure ii and il was read i'm
the house.
Senator Byers then resigned and de
manded thorough investigation OF
the charges made against himself and
other members. Many members offer
ed resolutions declaring confidence i'm
Mr.. Byers' and protesting against his
resignation, but he declined TO make
what he termed "A grand stand play"
and adhered to his purpose

Clarence to be Refused the nauutiess.

Washington, March IA conference
on the subject of enforcing the neutral
ity and navigation laws was held at
the White house today between the
president, Secretary Sherman, Soc
rtary Gage, Secretary Long and Attor-
ney General MCkcnna. 1t lasted nC ar
ly two hours during the time when the
rush of visitors was greatest and many
callers went away disappointed in the
hope Of seeing the president, after wait
ing for some time. The question that
formed the basis for the conference re-
lated to the steamer Dauntless, now
under surveillance at Jacksonville, Fla.
Her owner has made application to
clear from Jacksonville with a cargo OF
munitions of war, and the conference
today was held for the purpose Of arriv-
ing at a decision as to the right of tho
United States to grant or reject the
application.
Of the discussion concerning the Daunt-
less and the general subject of cnforc-
ing the navigation and neutrality laws
which occupied the cabinet yesterday
After that meeting it was arranged
that the four cabinet officers named
whose departments deal directly with
the enforcement Of international com
ity, should meet the president today 1t
was decided by the president and his
advisers that clearance should be re-
fused in all such cases, unless the mas
ter of the vessel makes affidavit that he
will not violate the letter or the spirit
of the neutrality laws.

WOMEN IN POLITICS.
The. Quickly Learn the Ways OF Western
fopuIiss Ward Politicians

tAtlanta Constitution)
Denver. Col. March 1.-THE middle
ot the road populists met here yester-
day and adjourned after three hours of
lighting.
Women were in the thickness OF the
melee and they were in several in
stances instigators OF the attack
The first assault was prov okt,i by ths.
remark IL woman that she would not
sit in convention with the hirtlings OF
corporations, indicating one or the dele
gates.
The latter replied that the accuser
was liar. and her husband flew 10 the
rescue, while his wife and her women
companions stood 10y and chcvrcd the.
fighters.
Mrs. +. w. Reed started another row
by saying that she had seen too much
OF politics TO blush any more. as that
was perfunctory effort that did tho,
party no good.
Mrs. Alice Faulkner took n hand i'm
the row and eulogized grand old man
Waite"
She grew excited and some one made
a sighting remark that prccipitated
further trouble.
The event Of the afternoon was when
Miss Holmes replied TO the attack of
the boiler inspector. w. X. Frazier He
had said that the corporations were
more powerful than populiSt principles
That's n lie" shouted half "A dozen.
and men and women were on their feet
making for the speaker.
III the shoe fits You, put il on" re
torted Frazier, bracing himself for the
rush. He was no match for the crowd
and Was driven from his position. but
. fought desperately To the door.
MIR. AkcrS next came in for rough
treatment on being asked Ly Mrs
Reed If il was not time for him to go
out and choke himself to death" Akers
retorted that Mrs. Reed had not ADDED
anything To her reputation by going
out as street singer.
| Miss Holmes demanded why the men
stood silently by and saw the women
insulted
None responded and then Mrs. Reed
and Miss Holmes administered the pun
lShment themselves and tore most OF
Mr.. Akers's beard out OF his face.

The Tariff Bill to be Reported Tcmorrow

Washington, March T.-The tariff
bill will be reported to the house on
Friday Of this week This was the
conclusion reached by the republican
members OF the ways and means com
mittee at their meeting today The
only other matter OF importance agreed
upon was in transferring all asphalt
and bitumen to the dutiable list Some
crude forms Of these articles are now
on the free list. The rate was fixed at
$50 ton on asphalt not dried and not
advanced in any way. A duty OF $500
a ton was placed on asphalt in it's more.
advanced stages. The purpose OF
placing asphalt on the dutiable list
was principally because more revenue
was needed and for the further reason
that all the importations are controlled
by one company, which the committee
understood is receiving a large figure
from the sale Of the commodity
