Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1903-04-15

The Republicans are greatly worried
about Congressman Littlefield's list of
800 trusts, with $14.OO0,OOO,OOO of cap
ital, published in the Congressional
Record as an appendix to his speech
of Feb. 6, 1903 No longer can the
Republican leaders deny that there are
trusts or say that there are only a few,
such as exist in England and other
free trade countries. This list, quoted
by leading Republican, is twenty
times as long rs any list of English
trusts ever published.
How completely this list has fab.
ber-gasted the old-line Republicans is
evident from n column editorial in the
New York Sun, headed THE Degre.
dation of the Littlefield Butterfly"
Much of this editorial is devoted to
criticislng Mr.. Littlcfield's beautiful
autograph. Still, more space is de-
voted to ''the sordid advertising
scheme" hitched to the "Littlefield but
terfiy"-meaning his autograph.
OF course Mr.. Littlefield did not pre-
pare this list of 500 trusts. Naturally,
when he wished n list of trusts, he APP
piled to the Republican officials in a
position to prepare such list. Nat
urally, also, he did not get it there
He says SO in his speech. Naturally,
then, he turned to what he considered
the most reliable private source for
such information, which was the Con
gressional Information Bureau. This
bureau prepared for him what he said
in his speech was ''the most complete
list Of large corporations in exist
ence." His list contains only corpora
tons resulting from the combination
Of other corporations" and this is his
definition of trust"
Neither Mr. Littlefield nor the Blu
reau which prepared the list for him
pretend that this list of trusts is com
plete. That 1t is conservative is evil
dent from the recent statement of Mr..
John Moody, the author and publisher
of Moody's Manual of Industrial Sc
curities, that there are about $50 trusts
in this country. Mr.. Moody, however,
put only 2S7 trusts, with $1,000, OOO,-
600 capital, into the list which he pre-
pared for the last Democratic cam
paign book
OF course Mr.. Littleield will in flu
ture be persona non grata to other
leading Republicans for letting the
trust facts out. He will be ostracized
for being too serious in his opposition
to trusts. But aren't the Republicans
hard pressed for arguments and badly
ratified when they stoop to criticising
autographs and pretend TO see in this
great list of trusts only "a sordid ad-
vertising scheme:'
For the benefit of those Democrats
who care to exhibit this Republican
list Of trusts to thej7 Republican

Has ". A. Rawson. Wto Drank

w. A. Rawson, who is lying in ser
ious condition at the Kessler hospital
as the result of attempting to shuttle
on this mortal coil via the muriatic
acid route last Friday night when a
warrant was served on him by Consta-
bic Mitchell, has fighting chance for
bis life. He is resting much easier,
and although he is in a precarious con-
dition, his condition Is much lmprov-
ed.
AS stated in the previous issue of
this paper, Rawson, it seems, was in
fatuated with his step-daughter. and
the elimination of family row at
their home on Cain street resulted in
the step-daughter swearing out a war
rant In Squire Riley's court, charging
him with disturbing the peace. When
the constable was arresting him Raw
son pulled out phial of muriatic acid
end drained the contents.

Ensues over the Election at

Both Sides Claim the Victory and
= 6lye Figures.
Bitter Words and Fight or Two
Are outcomes.

The Adamston election Saturday on
helquestion of incorporation resulted
somewhat mixed and neither side
seems TO know Just where they stand,
although both are claiming victory.
Some Of the attorneys, who had ex.
pressed the opinion that only residents
of the SIX months or more class were
entitled tosyote, looked at other sec.
tions of the law and changed their
minds. They sent letters. of retrac-
tion TO the polls but the commissioners
refused to let the sixty day fellows
vote. That created a bitter feeling
and the opposition worked all the
harder, They succeeded in casting so
votes. There were 92 votes cast in
favor Of the proposition. The latter
was notas majority OF the listed vote
taken some days ago and the opposi-
tion set up the claim that they had
won out by4 votes. The other side
contends that they received a majority
OF 2 votes and that the question car
ried.
Both sides are angry and some very
hot words have been induiged In and
fighter two ensued but no serious
damage was done. One citizen who
had three large street lights turned
them OF Saturday night and the town
was in darkness. He did not propose
to light the town free any longer.
AT future day application VIII be
made TO Judge Mason for town char
ter butit win be strenuously opposed

was experienced in extinguishIng the
blaze Mach damage was done al the.
time TO tho building and the stock OF
goods Of she tenants.
The building had been repaired and
the Tenants were just getting their
goods mic ly Installed, when Saturday
nights blaze occurred. The clifford.
Osborn Undertaking Company had Is.
tablished one OF the ihandsomest stores
In their line in the state. The new
clothin. house there had moved into
the building since the first fire as had
also the Citizens Pressing Company.
Little was it suspected that there was
TO be anetner fire so soon.
There we're various theories as 10
the orifin Of the first blaze. Some
thought That it caught from a i've
electric ire; Others believed hot
stove caused it but none knew posi-
lively. The electric wires, however,
did not figure in the second lire as
there were none in the building.
The ME was discovered about 4
O'Clock b Jesse Carr who had gone to
the Pressing company's rooms to get
asuit Of clothes. Others discovered il
about.tlle same time. The alarm was
given at once and the department ar
rived speedily as did also an immense
crowd in response to the alarm! The
fire was rnder good headway before il
was discovered. The ceiling in:J. w.
Dodgcis pdlnt shop in the rear upstairs
part Of the building was all ablaze,
when the discovery was made.
The Department with the fire located
had less dimculty in putting it out
than on the former occasion. Some
good work was done and in the cosrse
of an hour the tireSwas out.
The Undertaking Company removed
a considerable portion of their stock
from the building, but their cases and
caskets in the rear room were damaged
to a considerable extent from water.
The exact amount Of damage to this
part Of the stock, however, has not
yet been ascertained.
Much damage was done to the stock
of clothing owned by FrIedland &
Bake r, tae exact extent is not known
as yet. The goods are badly damaged.
The Citizens Pressing Company sus-
tanned . loss too, as did Br. Dodge.
Practically all the contents Of his shop
were destroyed.
The ceiling of the rooms Mr.. Dodge
occupied was entirely destroyed and
the raftcrs above so badly burned that
they will have TO be replaced.
The fire caught from an old cook
stove I'M Mr., Dodge,s paint shop,
which he used 20 heat the rooms aud
TO preparc his paints The pipe or
the stove did not quite extend to the
ceiling, and was moi connected with
