WHIPPED INTO LINE
IowA'S GOVERNOR ACHIEVES VICTORY OVER HENDERSON.
Cummins Says Republicans Will De- mand That Tariff Must Be Re- moved from Trust-ridden
 Articles of Commerce.

Des Moines, la, Sept. Ex-Governor Cummins achieved a notable victory to- day over Speaker Henderson and several prominent Republican Congressman at a conference of Republican leaders held for the purpose of deciding and agreeing upon a plan of campaign this fall. Senator Deliver was also in the conference.
 The Iowa tariff plank was the bone of contention. Ever since that plank was adopted it has been the subject of earn est discussion within the party. Two factions have developed. One led by Governor Cummins and the State organi- zation and supported by majority of the active Republicans of the State, has want ed to make the no monopoly sheltering tariff plank the central dominant issue of the campaign. The other. embracing Speaker Henderson and about one-half or the Iowa delegation in Congress, has re- garded that plank as a blunder and has wanted to ignore it as much as possible
 Governor Cummins won a signal vic- tory. Knocking the tariff props out from under monopoly is to be the campaign cry of Republicans of this State. The new Iowa idea. fathered by Governor Cummins, Is to live and have being
 Speaker Henderson and his friends all spoke against the idea. They wanted to make prosperity" the issue. Governor Cummins replied to them
 Tt is time for plain speaking" he said, "and r give notice here and now that l am going to take an active part in this campaign and that I am going to give great prominence to this issue. We Re- publicans of Iowa are all protectionists. but we insist that the tariff must be re- moved on articles in which monopoly has been established. We call upon Congress to place legislative obstacles in the way of the tendency of modern combinations to destroy competition. Competition is the fundamental law of industrialism. and we are not willing to have the tariff used in throttling or perpetuating it. That is what our platform means when it says no sheltering of monopoly, and that plat from is not to be repudiated. 1t stands. and we stand upon it.
 Speaker Henderson caused some sur prise by saying that last winter he had proposed to President Roosevelt and lead ing Republican Senators that they reduce the tariff on a few articles ''in order to give the people some relief" but that the Senators had declared it would be impossible to get any such bill through their branch of the national legislature

road by J. cashman. with whom he talk Cd for some time. and agreed to help Cashman stack grain the next day.
 The spot where the two men met was about ninety yards from where the body was found. The tragedy Is thought to have occurred shortly after Bartholin left Cashmsn. The body was discovered by Joe Pratt He was driving along the road and saw the body lying on a shock of flax. about twenty rods from the road way. A letter of confession and love letters of Minnie Mitchell were found in the pockets of the sucide's clothing. There was a 32-calibre revolver in the lefs hand and bullet hole in the head. Judging from the decomposed state of the body. 1t had lain where it was found for probably a week.
 The body agrees with the description of William Bartholin. crippled in one leg. gold tooth. five feet ten inches tall. The letters and confession found on the body are in the hands of the coroner. who is now at Lime Springs, Iowa.
 The confession which was found in the dead mans pocket was dated August 3i and in it the writer declares that he killed his mother, Mrs. Anna Bartholin. for her money and later murdered his sweetheart. Miss Minnie Mitchell.
 All others who have been arrested in the case are exonerated in the confession. although Bartholin accuses Minnie Mitch ell of being party to the plot to mur- der his mother. The murder of Mrs. Bartholin. the confession runs. was ac- complished according to a plot arranged between the two lovers and later Bartho- lin killed Miss Mitchell
 The confession explicitly stated that Thompson, Claffy and Counselman. the other suspects-their names are mentioned in the order glven-are guilty of no com plicity in the murders.

OHIO CAMPAIGN OPENS JOHNSON RouNDLY SCORES THE
 REPUBLICANS. Fair Taxation is Suggested as a Remedy for the Control of
 Monopolies- Spoke to
 $500 Persons.

Lorain. O., Sept. 6--The Democratic State campaign was opened in this city tonight. A tent with a seating capacity of S.5O0 people was crowded. The princi- pal address was that of Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland. who said in part:
 We. in this campaign, are trying to advocate principles that are backed by the truth. The last State Legislature controlled and guided largely under the influence of two United States Senators did some good things. They passed a con- stitutionaI amendment, one of the best things done in thirty years. I commend that portion of the work. It is not our purpose to fight principles merely be- cause they are Republican. So long as l live will never fight principle that I believe is right, no matter what party is responsible for it.
 But the Legislature. deliberately and with the knowledge that the steam rail- roads were not paying by four millions of dollars a year in taxes, as must farm CTS and small home owners, deliberately increased them but $4O0,000 a year in- stead of $4O00, GOO. The last Legislature ex- empted stockholders of railroads from taxation and placed the burden upon the party of those engaged in competitive business in'the State Of Ohio.
 'The Republican leaders have carried out corrupt bargain to make the peo- pie of Ohio pay more than their share of taxes in order that those owning mo- ropolies livinb outside the State should pay less. That is what we condemn in the State Legislature.
 Now the Legislature is in the midst of preparing municipal code to govern the cities of Ohio and to that extent that they will do it in the interest of home rule I say to them God speed but if the municipal code bill IS to be made the means of extending Boss Cox's govern ment in the cities then say the Legisla- ture should be condemned by every lib- erty loving man and woman in Ohio.
 "If they enact an unjust system of taxation whereby the corporations are meagerly taxed and the small home own CTS and farmers taxed so or 90 per cent of their property value, the Legislature should be condemned.
 ''If they grant perpetual franchises for interests represented by the two United States Senators from Ohio. they are us- ing their power to help their private pockets. and they should be condemned ''
 When Mayor Johnson had finished his speec, he invited questions from his hearers He was asked as to a remedy for trusts Replying. the Mayor said that the campaign of fairer taxation would. he thought. remove a great many of the objections now held against trusts. He said that the immense holdings of the United States Steel Corporation would not necessarily make it an objectionable cor rors ton, but that justice vas not done the matter of axing its immensely val rstle ore and other mining properties. These. the Mayor declared, were taxed at but a small percentage of their value, while the holdings of the farmers and property owners are taxed ut approxt- mately full value.

Brass Band at Lexington.

Lexington, Ky. Sept. 6-President Roosevelt received here at s:45 p. m. Tho citizens were anxious to accord him a reception but as the trip arranged large ly because of the Presidents desire to visit the convention of Locomotive Fire men in Chattanooga and the only stops provided for in the Itinerary being at Wheeling, Chattanooga, Knoxville and Asheville. intermediate stops have only been made at such points as were re- qufred by the railroad arrangements.
 The reception at Lexington therefore was necessarily brief. large crowd met him. however. and during the short stop he spoke a few words of apprecia- ton for the greeting.

Columbus, O.. Sept. 6.-President Roose- welt was greeted by large crowd in the union depot here. and in response to calls of the crowd, said:
 ''It is just year ago that Ohio's great President was shot. and it is an anniver- sary that is fitting to make all or thls crowd think very solemnly both of what the country lost in his death and of what the country owed to his life. President Mckinley had become the President of the entire country; so that Ohio could claim him no moro thar all the rest or us could claim him; and when he died. his character and his policies had so in- pressed themselves upon the nation as whole that in the broadest and fullest sense he had become the President of no party. and no section. but of the people throughout the length md breadth Of our Union It is a good thing for us now a year after he was shot to think of what he did and to try to keep ourselves up to his standard"
