TAwNEY RESOLUTION PASSES.
House Adopts 1t After IT. is Reported
Adversely by the Committee.


Washington, May Spy Associated
Press. AT the opening of the house
today, Dalzell, of Pennsylvania,
brought toward a report of the ways
and means committee recommending
that the Tawney resolution, calling
upon the secretary of the treasury for
the amount and character of the ma
terial used in the manufacture of oleo-
margarines as shown by the record in
the internal revenue bureau, be laid
on the table. Tawney, of Minnesota,
and Dolliver, of Iowa, signed Minors
ity report in favor of the adoption of
the resolution. Dalzell contended that
the divulgence of information would
subject the secretary to the penalties
imposed by section 3167, which inn
poses upon any officer of the govern
ment divulging the style of work or
apparatus of any manufacturer visited
by him in discharge of his duty to a
fine of $1,000 or Imprisonment for u
year. Tawney declared that if the
house declined to pass the resolution
lit would be refusing to divulge to the
public the ingredients used in the
manufacture of food products. The
house, BY a vote of So to 1856, refused
to lay the resolution en- the table, and
it was adopted without division.

TEmPERATURE is NORMAL.
Past Week Favorable for Flowing and
Planting.

Des Moines, May s.-(Special) 1.-The
summary for the week ending May Z,
issued today by the climate and crop
service Qowa section) of the depart
ment OF agriculture is as follows: The
average temperature of the past week
was about normal, tho, considerably
cooler than the preceding week.
Frosts We're observed on the mornings
of the Sd, 4th and 5th, at various To-
calities in the northern and central
districts; and on the morning of the
Sd the minimum temperature at nu-
merous stations was below 80 degrees,
causing the formation of ice on shall
low water in many places. Tho too
early to note all the injurious effects
OF freezing temperature, the general
opinion seems to indicate that apples,
plums and cherries suffered but little
damage. Tender vegetation and small
fruit on low ground were somewhat
injured, but the aggregate of damage
by freezing will be quite small.
The week was very favorable for
blowing and other farm work, and
nearly all corn ground is now in read
mess for planting. A fair start has
been. made in corn planting, but the
weather was not sufficiently warm to
incite much activity in that line.
Most of the reports mailed on the
5th, noted the fact that the soil was
becoming quite dry, and that rain
was needed for the grass and grain
crops, and to facilitate blowing. The
needed moisture was generally sup
piled by the copious showers of Sat
urday night and Sunday, and the crop
outlook at present is quite fattering.

Child Struck by a Train.

Mt. Pleasant, May s.-A little 3-year-
old child of Mrs. Nellie Sharp, who
lives with her father, Charles Swanson,
about one mile west of Odds, had a
narrow escape from instane death last
Saturday afternoon. A little T-year-old
brother was wheeling her in a baby
carriage, and just as he got the car
riage on "A railroad crossing of the
Iowa Central, he saw the east-bound
passenger coming ut full speed. He
became so frightened that he left the
carriage standing on the crossing and
ran for his life. The engineer was un-
able to stop his train in time, and
baby and carriage were struck and
hurled some twenty feet, crushing the
vehicle to fragments, but, strange to
say, the child escaped practically un-
hurt. 1t was badly bruised, but no
bones We're broken, and the physician
says it will recover all right. 1t was
close call.

His Candidate for Tenn
porary Chairman.
THE CONVENTION TODAY
Tanner Forces Are Unable to Control
Illinois Republican Convention at
Peoria Today-Davis is Elect.
~ Chairman Over Brown.

Peoria, May Shy Associated
Press. AT 1905 o'clock Chairman
Rannells, of the republican state cen
trail committee, called the republican

prayer by Rev. John Saville, of the
First Congregational church of Peoria
Chairman Rannells announced that in
accordance with the long established
custom the state central committee
had directed him to name Hon. j. G.
Brown, of Vandalia, as temporary
chairman, and called for other nom
nations. S. n. Bethea. on behalf OF
the Cullom faction, nominated Charles
g. DAVIS, and demanded a roll call by
counties. The chairman directed the
secretary to call the roll.
The result of the vote on temporary
chairman was a victory Tor the anti
Tannerites, Dawes getting 1893 votes
and Brown 72O.
Prolonged cheers greeted the result
g. w. Peters was elected temporary
secretary, and David Shannahan, as
sistant. Chairman Dawes was intro.
duced and addressed the convention
He discussed the trusts, declaring the
question a political one. The only diff
ference between the party and the
subject would be as to the motive ot
the remedy. Laws should be passed tc
protect the public against eAtortior
and unjust discrimination.
AT the conclusion of the speech the
convention took recess until a
o'clock. The election OF Dawes is re
garded as signifying the probable nom
ination of Reeves for governor.

Cullom, delivered this afternoon al

mense audience which crowded the
opera house, in the oratorical contest,
they. again defeated them, as. clearly
outclassing them as they had in the
afternoon. This is the third victory
for our high school orators and de-
Chalmers and they are feeling quite
proud of their success. Mr.. Hankins,
of Sigourney, and Mr.. Rollers, OF
North English, were on the program,
and both acquitted themselves nice
~. The humorous selection of Mr..
Roller was especially well rendered.

HAS NOT HURT FRUIT.
Low Temperature of Last Few Day.
Will Not Materially Affect Iowa.

Des Moines, May s.-Wesley Greene,
secretary of the state horticultural So
ciety, says the cool weather of the
past ten days has not hurt the Iowa
fruit crop. He says it has undoubted-
~ killed some blossoms. But all the
blossoms which come in the spring are
not expected to bear anyway, and on
~ small per cent have been affected
by the low temperature. Mr.. Greene
says the weak vitality of the fruit
trees, caused by the blight of two
years ago, will have tendency to
make them oyerbear this year. Gonse-
quently the fruit will not be of SO SUI
perior a size or quality. Strawberries
were injured by the douth of last fall,
and Mr.. Greene estimates that as a re-
suit there will be but one-half a crop
this season. Many grape vines and
blackberry plants We're killed during
the winter, which will result in about
one-third of a crop, it is estimated,
while raspberries may perhaps yield
two-thirds of crop. Tree fruits are
expected to make a full yield.
