DUE TO MEAT TRUST.
Forty Bank Failures and at Least Ten
Suicides.

/ Des Moines, Ia, Dec. 24.-Forty
banks have failed and one-fourth as
many officials have committed suicide
In Iowa during the past two years, ac-
cording to statistics of the state audit
Or'S office here. In connection with
these failures and tragedies the charge
has been made that they are due to
the meat trust. Much of the money of
western banks is loaned upon cattle
and food which is to be used in pre-
pairing them for market. Many of the
bankers have been large stock raisers
themselves. Senator Lewis of Page
county, member of the banking com
mittee in the last legislature, shares
this view. 1t is held by him that the
mean values were forced down by the
alleged trust, regardless of the scarcity
and the great demand. Many farmers
were ruined during the past two years
as well as large stock men, and it is
in such districts as deal especially in
this line that failures have been most

The PuIajones Uprising Is Making
Serious Trouble.

Washington, Dec. 24.-The war de-

by General Corbin, commanding the
department of the Philippines, of the
uprising in Samar, in which one lieu
tenant and a number of enlisted men
of the Philippine scouts were killed.
The cablegram is as follows
1.-The Pulajones are on the war
path in Samar in considerable num-
bers, as may be judged from the fol-
lowing:
ION December 10 about 400 Pula-

joined in an attack on a detachment
of twenty Philippine scouts at Oras,
Samar. Killed, one hospital corps
man; wounded, twelve Philippine
scouts; missing, five, said to have been
boloed while in the river. All bodies
badly mutilated. And on December
16, Second Lieut.. Stephen K. Hayt and
81 enlisted men, Twenty-eighth COM
pany Philippine scouts, killed by Pula-
jones at Dolores, Samar. First Lieut..
George F. Abbott requests help from
military authorities; town threatened
by a thousand Pulajones. Situation
critical in both instances. I offered
the Philippine government all the as
sistance desired. AS yet none has been
accented"

COMMISSION TOO LARGE.
Some Talk of Reducing Panama Canal
Body.

Washington, Dec 24.-President Roose-
welt has given consideration recently to
suggestions looking to reduction in the
membership of the Panama canal com
mission, but thus far, it can be said, no
definite action has been reached. 1t has
been urged by some members of congress
that the commission is so large to
be unwieldIy 1t is known that Represen-
tative Hepburn of Iowa, chairman of the
committee on interstate and foreign COM
merce, is inclined to the opinion that the
commission is too large and that the chief
engineer of the canal ought to have great
er initial authority than he now has. Mr..
about canal matters, but he declined to
say whether it was the intention of his
committee to introduce a measure looking
to the crystalization of his ideas into law.
Before action of a definite nature is taken
the subject will be considered carefully in
all its phases.

NEW SOUTHERN POLICY
Indicated by Appointment of Young
Stuart to Marshalship.

Washington, Dec. 24.-GossiD and
criticism and a flood of explanation
have followed the presidents action in
sending to the senate the name of J.
e. B. Stuart, jr., to be marshal of the
eastern district of Virginia.
/ The president had. it is explained, in
mind the other southerners. the men
who revere and worship the memories
who think of the deeds of the
elder Stuart, "OId Jeb.'' only
with quickened pulses and beating
hearts. He had in mind the cruel
things that have been said against
him, and the claim which has been
made when prejudice and passion has
been appealed to in the south. and he
has been painted as the enemy of that
section of the country which he holds
most dear. The president had in
mind, it is said, to show the people of
that section that the animOSities and
bitterness of the old time. when the
states sought to secede, had passed,
and the men of his party who are
strongest in the north did not hold
against the new generation in the
south the deeds and Affiliations of the
parent generation. 1t was the same
spirit of tolerance and love for the
south which prompted the president, a
short time ago. to place in the army
register the name of descendant of
''Stonewall'' Jackson by sending him
to the military academy at West Point
as a cadet.
But the president has been accused of
state of Virginia a body blow by his
state of Virginia a body blow by his
action and of favoring one element of
the party as against another. The fact
appears to be that the president had in
mind in making the appointment only the
sentimental side of the matter, and how
it would appeal to the south in this light
after he had fully satisfied himself of the
good character of the man proposed for
preferment
In this connection, however, it has been
discovered "a l.
ly new southern policy in so far as it is
directed toward the men of his own par
ty- The recent election taught him some
lessons in party organization in the south
ern states it is said, and he will profit by
it. He will in a larger measure ignore
lima, Louisiana and Mississippi, where it
is clear the organizations have little or
no support or sympathy with the people.
For example he will give proportionately
less support and recognition to organi-
cation in a state like Mississippi, where
TO the neighborfng state of Arkansas, with
the $4,000 Republican votes brought out
there. The same general principle will
apply as between North Carolina and
South Carolina, where there is so marked
a difference in the Republican vote that
geographical separation. In other words,
the president will continue to recognize
those organizations of the party which
show they are vitaIistic and have the. re-
spect of the people and will recognize the
less an organization in which men are as
holding office and retaining their friends
in office. Fitness and standing will weigh
in states of the south much heavier than
questionable allegiance to party.

CLEVER SWINDLER
PLAYS BOLD GAME
Secures Check From Senator
w. d. Washburn Before
Being Discovered.

Benjamin Smith, arrested in Mime
apolis yesterday, is said to be one of
the smoothest swindlers who has Wis
tied the Twin Cities in some years.
Smith claimed to represent '"The In
ternational Encyclopedia and Art
Company" and when he called on for
mer United States Senator w. D.
Washburn, produced check for $3.50,
purporting to be signed by James j.
Hill. which, he said. Mr.. Hill had paid
him for a write up.
Senator Washburn was properly i'm
pressed, and finally gave his check for
a like amount. Later he became sus-
piciOus, investigated and discovered
that the Hill check was a forgery.
When searched by the officers a
letter of introduction to Mr.. Hill was
found, written on paper bearing the
arms Of Skibo castle, Scotland, and
apparently signed by Andrew Carnegie.
The man undoubtedly will be held to
the grand jury and indicted. Unless
he pleads guilty his trial will prove
notable, as w. d. Washburn will figure
as the prosecuting witness, and J. J..
Hill will also be called by the state.
