Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids, Sept. 20.--Cedar Rap
ids may witness a race between hose
teams representing the paid fire depart
ments of Sioux City and Clinton, a con-
troyersy having arisen between the two
departments over the result of the hose
races at the state firemen's tournament
at Davenport. Clinton won the state
championship and Sioux City demands
another race for purse of $1,000 a
side. The chief of the Clinton depart
ment objects to, running the race at
Sioux City. but has offered to come to
Cedar Rapids, which would be neutral
ground. What splendid feature ST.
900 race would be for carnival week.
The origin of this controversy which
may terminate in race here is thus
stated by a Davenport paper:
At the Davenport tournament Gin
ton won the first days race, it is all
legged, because of defective coupling
made by one of the Sioux City men.
The next day the Sioux City team bad
ly defeated Clinton. Since then Gin
ton has challenged Sioux City to run it
over again and leave her race horses
at home. Clinton makes the charge that
the Sioux City men won by virtue of a
span of race track bred steppers, rung
into the place of regular team. The
Sioux City papers reply that the fast
team. of the Morgan and coach strains,
has been feature of the Sioux City
fire department for the past five years,
and; declare that they will run Clinton
any sort of race she wants, and make
her look as tho she were stuck in the

State Chairman Spence of Mt. Ayr, b.
+. Carroll Of Bloomfield, candidate for

Major Lacey is highly pleased with
his prospects, as are his lieutenants and

at other congressional conferences re-
Gently, speaks in very hopeful terms
Of the prospects turnout the entire

reasons than otherwise.

SHOT HOTEL CLERK
Sensational Shooting Array in Hotel
at Des Moines-Woman Named Smith
Shoots Harry Clark, Claiming He
Had Ruined Her Daughter.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Sept. 20.-Another pos
sibly fatal shooting affray took place
at eight this morning in sensational
manner. Mrs. Smith, who lives near
the state fair grounds, went to the
Arcade hotel in the state fair grounds

the shots took effect, inflicting .wounds
which may prove fatal. Mrs. Smith

her daughter. She admitted she shot
him and said she was glad of it and
only regretted that she did not kill
him. Clark is IL years old and Grip
pie. He says that he never kept COM
pany with Nellie Smith and only
knew her but little and denies having
been intimate with her in any way.

Henderson's Withdrawal Not Now Con-
sidered Momentous by Washington
ians.
ment over Speaker Hendersons retire
lnent is subsiding, and republican poll
ticians are beginning to feel more
cheerful about the situation, as the
opinion becomes prevalent that the
speakers action was prompted largely
by conditions having no significance
outside his district.
The first effect of the announcement
was to project the tariff question to
the extreme front and to convey the
impression that the republican party
was so seriously divided that old and
trusted leaders were being forced out
of public life. Now, however, the Iowa
platform has been read and re-read
by everybody with the result that the
verdict is practically unanimous that
lit contains nothing but good repub .
licanism. In fact. the Iowa platform
is having boom and appears to be
in fair way for general adoption. Re-
ports indicate it has given distinct
impetus to progressive republicanism
turnout the country.
As the conviction that the speakeY,
was influenced by personal and local
reasons becomes general, the alarm
over party division naturally subsidies,
the republican politicians breathe easier
and the democratic managers are not
SO sanguine.
Gossip and speculation continues. Fo..
instance the New York Sun this morn
ing prints a story that Henderson be.
lieved conspiracy existed to defeat
him for the speakership, which in
Guided the congressional committee.
Other papers say the speaker was hur.
because he was not invited to the
Oyster Bay conference. The common
opinion, however. is that he was pro-
voked by local opposition, which the
speaker thought petty and undeserved,
and deterQfined to quit politics.

Special to Times Republican.
Ottumwa, Sept. 2O.-John p. Reese,
the candidate for congress on the dem

ing a rather peculiar method of push
ing his campaign. He is still the pres
ident OF the United Mine Workers of

talking over matters pertaining to the
organization It is true that he does

them to support him for congress. Per-
haps talking politics is not the prope.
term, for Mr.. Reese does not assume
to be a partisan. He does not say
whether he is running on the democrat
tc ticket or whether he proposes to sup
port democratic principles. He simply
urges the members Of the union to vote
for him for personal reasons.
These meetings are held behind
closed doors. All that can be learned
regarding them is that Mr.. Reese is
utilizing them for the purpose OF Sc
curing audiences to listen to him on
the congressional situation. Just what
he is saying is not known, further than
that he is urging the members OF the
unions, regardless of party. to support
him for congress. It is customary for
the unions to hold secret meetings and
there Is no objection to their doing 50
any more than there is to the board OF
directors OF coal mining company to
meet behind closed doors. Many union
men believe that Mr.. Reese makes a
mistake in using these meetings, which
he attends by virtue of his Office fo-
the purpose Of delivering political
harangues. It is understood that Mr..
Reese resigned from the presidency of
the United Mine Workers because he
did not care to be accused of using Ing
connection with the union to further
his political aspirations. It would ap-
pear that in making political speeches
at the time Of his farewell visits to the
different unions, Mr. Reese Is doing the
very thing he agreed not to do.

Davenport, Sept. 20.-Suit will be
brought against the Diamond 10 line
here for the killing of Leonidas and his
son by Mate Breen on the steamer Du-
buque last summer This new phase
of the tragedy developed by the arrival
of Mr.. Cathran in the city from Peoria,
who claims to be an uncle of Mrs. Car
ence A. Taggart, the alleged wife OF
the dead medicine man.
For some time past Attorneys Frank
A. Cooper and Let's s. MCGEE nave
been undergoing q thorough investlga-
ton in an endeavor to locate the bona
ffde relatives of the two men who met
such tragic death. Up to the present
time they have heard from three diff
ferent parties who claim to be the Wlfe
of the elder Leonidas, whose real name
is now supposed to be Taggart. Each
of these was DESTROYS of having the ef-
fects of the dead man forwarded to
them at the earliest convenience. Be-
fore this was done, however, the attor-
neys requested each of them to produce
evidence that they we're the wife OF
Leonidas, as alleged. This request put
a quietus upon two of the women. who
have not been heard from since. The
third, Mrs. Clarence. "A. Taggart OF Pc
oria, has, however, convinced the at
torneys that she is the lawful wife OF
the elder Leonidas and suit will be
brought in her behalf against the Dia-
mond 10 Company, upon the grounds
that they are responsible for the death
Of the two men inasmuch as the ira
gedy occurred upon one of their boats.
The Mrs. Taggart referred to is an
invalid, having suffered a paralytic
stroke several years ago. Being un-
able to travel, she sent her uncle, Mr..
Cathran, already referred to, to this
/ city and he yesterday spent considers

erty of the dead men. The photo Of the
small boy found in the possession OF
Leonidas was declared by Mr.. Cathran
to be Mrs. Taggart's 11-year-old son,
and also son of the deceased man.
Mr.. Cathran declares that Leonidas'
right name was Taggart and that he
merely took the name of Leonidas to
advertise his medicines. which were
mostly Mexican herbs. According to
the evidence found by the attorneys,
Leonidas was married to the Taggart
woman at Quincy in 1891.
Mr.. Cooper stated this morning that
suit would be brought against the Dia-
mond 10 Company at the next term Of
court on behalf of the Taggart woman.
This will be in the amount of $4,000, as
that is the largest amount in which a
foreign corporation may be sued for in
the local district court. In case a larger
amount is sued for, the case would have
to be taken to the federal court and q
bond filed by the plaintiffs. Suit will at
first be brought for the killing of the
elder Leonidas, and If that is successful
then similar one will be instituted for
the killing of the son.
