BOWS OUT OF RACE.
He Will Not Try for State senatorshif
In Linn County.

Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids Sept 14.--At a meet
ing OF the leading republicans Satur
day evening Colonel Bows, who has
been looked upon as the leading can
didate for state senator, positively said
that he would not accept the nominal
ton ever il rendered him by the con-
vention. He claimed that his time was
taken up too much with the promot-
ing of interurban railways out of Ce-
dar Rapids to allow him to think IF
entering politics. His supporters viii!
now throw their supper. to Thomas
A. Berkebile. The senatorship contes,
is now badly muddled and strong
fight is anticipated in the convention
which will be held next Wednesday.
Colonel Bows was interviewed by a
reporter and in the course of the in
terview said:
With reference to my candidacy for
the nomination for senator from Linn
county | am obliged to say that l can
not stand for the nomination. l have
today received advices concerning ne
gotiations that have been pending look
ing to the building of an additional in
terban road from Cedar Rapids thru
and out of Linn county, which, If car
reid out, will make it impossible for
me to spare the time to serve in the
legislature if elected. Therefore, altho
have not heretofore declined to be a
candidate, must now positively refuse
to allow my name to be presented to the
convention. Furthermore | do not be-
lieve it would be fair to The republican
party for me to be in the attitude OF a
receptive candidate when it is mani-
testify impossible for me to give any
attention to the campaign should l be
nominated. The republican party has
the right to require, and owes Itself
the duty to require Of Its standard
bearers that they should work faith
fully to increase the republican major
ity in this county. This duty cannot
perform this fall and / should not and
do not authorize my name to be pre-
sented to the convention and could not
serve If nominated.
After Colonel Bows made his state
ment Mr.. Ernest Moore was chosen as
the candidate. but he declined the OF
fer.
Mr.. Dows' friends at the meeting
selected Mr.. Thomas A. Berkebile as a
candidate for senator. The news
o,ickly spread. Several republicans ex-
pressed the opinion that if this plan
10 nominate Mr.. Berkeble is perslste6
in II will cause bitter fight at the
county convention next Wednesday.

THAT SHIPPING TRUST
England Plans to Make Nor
gan Ship Combine Largely
British Concern
BRUCE lsMAY AT THE HEAD
The British Public Evidently Believes
the American Financier, Beaten and
Discredited, Will Be Succeeded by a
British Shipping Man = Will Use
Prestige of White Star Line.

London. Sept 14.-There is a dispo-
sition in England to regard impending
changes in the Morgan ship combine
as confession of failure on the part of
combination to corner the Atlantic On
the one hand 1t is declared that j.
Pierpont Morgan is to retire into the
background and that Bruce Ismay viii
come to the fore. In other words the
American tinancier, beaten and dis
credited, is to be succeeded by a British
shipping man who. II is hoped, may re-
trieve the fortunes of the trust, which.
as business undertaking, has proven a
signal failure.
Then, again. 1T is claimed that the one
great object aimed at in the organiza-
ton shortly to be announced is that of
the British public that the
Atlantic trust is more of a British than
an American concern. To this end the
of the White Star line will be
used for all 1t is worth. and will be
made to extend as far as possible over
the vessels of the American lines in the
which ply with England.
AS the Daily Mall puts it this morn
ing, the well known name of the White
Star is to be the antidote to public pre-
JUDGE against the shipping trust
Apart from the policy. continues that
paper, of extending the good Will and
of the White Star to the
lines, the impending changes
are. it Is. understood, to indicate the
of the whole management
of these lines to Bruce Ismay, of the
White Star in other words, from New
York TO Liverpool. 1t is not likely,
therefore, that all of these changes will
be made at one sweep.

z. II. Princes Grain Letter.

Chicago, Sept 14.-Wheat-The mar
ket was governed wholly by the
weather conditions in tho northwest,
and was strong. Locally, the condi-
tons were extremely bullish, but the
foreign situation was against the mar
ket but for this advances might have
been extensive. There was some profit
taking on the advance, but the market
held moderately firm. Large world
shipments and only steady cables were
bearish influences. The demand was
scattered. but was good nearly all day.
Armour was prominent en- the bull side.
The market lost about IL cents on
profit taking, but closed steady.
Corn-There was only one side to the
corn market today. There is critical
situation of the crop, owing to the
killing frosts in Nebraska, and the pre-
diction for frost tonight. There was
an urgent demand for corn from all
quarters. The market was big, broad
affair, and at times very active and
difficult to follow. Everybody appear
ed to be buying. Selling was by longs
with profit and there were very light
offerings. Receipts had no effect and
cash demand was good. The market
closed strong.
Oats-The market was in sympathy
with corn. The market advanced cas-
ily. Trade was not large The re-
ceipts are small and the cash demand
rather slow. The close was steady.

An Interesting Rumor In Con-
nection With Sioux City
Stock Yard Situation
ARMoURs ARE NOT REBUILDING
Now Looks AS If They Had Adam
doned the Big Plant There for the
Present-some Talk Made Of Re-
location of the Kansas City and ST.
Joe Plants.

Sioux City, Sept l4.-''No; not
thing" was the reply of f. l.. Eaton,
general manager for the Sioux City
Stock Yards company, when he was
asked yesterday upon his return from
Chicago il he had learned why Armour
& Co. were not doing anything at the
site which was proposed for their new
packing plant.
The inactivity of Armour & Co. has
put Sioux City in quandary. The
former Armour plant was burned last
November. Before the smoke had rolled
away the highest officials OF the Ar
mour company assured the people OF
Sioux City that the plant would be
rebuilt. For weeks and weeks after
ward no work was done, and the Of
ficials gave as the reason for this that
the company had not been assured OF
protection against fire. Business men
and the community in general blamed
the waterworks board for causing the
delay in the starting Of work on the
new Armour plant. After this excuse
there were numerous others, accom-
panied by fulsome explanations.
The situation now is that not brick
nor a pound of cement, a piece of
stone, nor lumber, nor other building
material OF any kind for the much
talked OF plant has arrived.
For several weeks piles were being
driven, but now this work has stopped.
Not a wheel is turning. Nothing is be-
ing done.
Mr. Eaton, Just returned from the
seat of packing house knowledge an
the headquarters of Armour & Co., says
he has no information as to the reason
for the inactivity.
Two weeks ago Col I. G. Elston,
president of the Sioux City Stock
Yards company, was in Sioux City ana
said that work on the Armour plant
would be started in earnest in a few
days, and that it would be so rushed
that cattle and hogs would be killed
by January /. He said this state
ment was authorized by Samuel Nc
Roberts, financial man for Armour s.
Co
A day or two after Col. Elston had
made his statement Charles w. Lennon,
Sioux City manager for Armour & Co.,
said that full building operations would
be under way very soon"
AT the time these statements were
made the crash of the pile drivers could
be heard once in while; now all is
still along the Floyd.
Growing out of this situation is an
interesting rumor to the effect that
on account Of their enormous losses by
the flood at ST. Joe, Kansas City and
st. Louis Swift & Co. are unwilling to
build upon ground which might be
overfiowed by water. 1t is said in this
connection that Swift & Co. declare
that when they build it shall be upon
high ground.
This rumor has led to the report
that there may be radical rearrangs.-
ment OF the stock yards, il not a re-
location.

THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK,
Henry cIews Says Business Situation
is Exceptionally Sound.


New York Sept. 14.-Henry Clews
in his weekly financial letter says:
The general business situation is ex-
ceptionally sound. Wall streets antics
have produced an unusual conservative
feeling in business circles, and that Is
excellence insurance against excess
during the coming season. There are
signs of reaction in the iron trade as
demands of the railroads and building
enterprise dimish, but elsewhere there
are no signs of contraction, except IL
cotton manufacturing, where the cotton
corner exaggerated the effects of an
actual scarcity of cotton. The effect Of
these tendencies Is already shown IN
clearing house returns, which In August
showed decline of II per cent COM
pared with last year for the entire
country. 1t is significant, however
that the shrinkage was confined en-
tirely to the middle Atlantic states,
the western and southern states stu
reporting satisfactory gains, the Pa
cific leading. New York is still head
quarters for dependency, the August
clearing here declining II per cent,
while all other cities outside of New
York combined, showed an increase of
over per cent.
The stock market outlook, all things
considerea, is fairly encouraging A
more hopeful feeling prevails in bank
ing circles, though conservatism IS
still the policy there. 1t is felt that the
recent liquidation has greatly improV-
ed stock market conditions, and that,
liz crop and money difficulties do not
arise, any slight reaction in business,
such as seems to be anticipated, Will
not prevent values reaching their NOM
NAL level, something which 1T is quite
certain has not yet occurred.
