"A story leaked out, and caused much talk
in political circles TO the effect that there
is a serious misunde. de.standing between Chair
man c. a. walsh OF the democratic state
central committee and Fred f. White, demo-
cratic candidate for governor. 1t is said
their disagreements date back to a period
months before the convention, which nomi-
mated Mr. White for governor. MIR. Walsh
Is said to have been strongly opposed to the
nomination OF White and In favor OF j. X.
Burgess Of Ottumwa. II is said he used the
influence OF his position as national com
mitteeman for Iowa in the interests Of
Burgess Since the convention the relations
are reported to have become even more
strained. Mr.. White desired to make a cam
paign on state issues and desired the COM
mttee to push these to the front, holding
the other hand. the chairman wanted national
issues, especially the silver question. to be
made the fighting ground, and has been
ducting his part of the campaign along these
lines. The story continues that there has
been violent rupture OF factions between
the two as a result, and that it may continue
and develop into a serious condition. Mr..
Walsh still holds the fort. and Mr.. White
likewise declines to agree to push the ma
tional issues.
Mr. Walsh today. when interviewed about
the reports said they were absolutely un-
founded He declared that the relations
cTnor were most friendly and that there was
no foundation for the stories, except the i'm
agnation OF people who wanted to stir up

Rev. Anna b. Shaw delivered an address
In the interest OF women yesterday evening
at the Baptist church. quite large audi
ence was present and showed its apprecia-
tion of hes remarks by occasional applause.
The speaker made some very uncompli-
mentarv remarks about men and said some
extremely good things about women. She
said that in all the United States there was
not a single monument erected In honor OF
the patriotism of any woman. She Teferrcd
to the statement frequently made that women
are more moral than men and also to the
statement that in case women voted they
would become as immoral as men. In re-
plying to the latter statement she said that
IL must be very uncomfortable for woman
to live with a man so much lower morally
than herself. and as she must live with
him she might well be as immoral as he.
She said that there never was never had
been, and never could be any reasonable
excuse for women not voting, and that no
government could be made permanent with
out wOman's suffrage. Women" she said,
"ls the consev vative, while man is the ag-
gressive force of the world" She thought
that every one affected by the liquor traillc
should have a chance to vote for or against
1t at the polls.

Frank Lomack, pastor of the Second
colored Baptist church of Des Moines was
compelled to give bail late last night to avoid
spending the night In the county jail.
The crime for which the colored
preacher was arrested was the failure
to pay cents due on his dinner Lomack
reached the city yesterday shortly before
noon and went into Woolsey's restaurant on
Broadway to get his dinner The price of
the regular meal was 10 cents, Just the
amount of money he had in his possession.
He was hungry and the dinner set before
him did not meet all of the requirements,
so he sent back for another plate of meat.
When he rendered his Is cents for the din
ner he was told his bill was 20 cents, cents
for the extra meat. In addition to the
amount he had laid down on the counter he
had cents, which he claimed did not belong
to him, but the cashier refused to accept the
assertion as true and insisted upon the full
amount being paid. Lomack refused to pay
the extra charge and left the restaurant
The attention of the proprietor was called
to the matter and he filed an information in
Justice Vien's office charging the statutory
offense OF beating a board bill and the
preacher was arrested. He asked to have
