nAWLEY IS ACTIVE
NEW FACTOR IN IOWA RAILROAD
CIRCLES TAKES UP iMPoR.
TANT WORK.

| Des Moines, Sept 8. - Activity on
the part of the representatives of Ed
win Hawley, the new factor in Iowa
railroad circles. has started many ru-
mors afloat. One report is TO the eff
feet that Mr.. Hawley will convert the
Des Moines & Ft. Dodge entrance to
Des Moines into general terminals to
compete with the Des Moines Union.
Another is that the Rock Island has
completed little coup in which they
have practically secured control of
| the stock of the NJ & st. L., Hawley
selling freely to raise money to pur-
chase the Des Moines & Ft. Dodge,
ard that they may GUST him from the
| line
| Some local officials place consider
able credence in the report of estab-
| fishing new terminals in DeS MoineS,
the only question being as to whether
Hubbell has long term, exclusive con-
tracts with the various roads now u.s.
ing the Des Moines Union trackage.
They claim that a large portion of
the money paid for the Des Moines &
Ft. Dodge must be realized from the
terminals in Des Moines. The road
owns considerable right of way into
West Des Moines and also across the
river to Third street in East Des
Moines.
Claim Rock island Retaliation.
Little faith is placed in the story Of
the Rock Islands coup on the Mime
apolis & st. Louis. There is posi-
bll1ty it may be SO. the Rock Island
using 1t as a leverage to compel Haw-
ley to grant them certain concessions
but they have little use for the Mime
apolis & st. Louis as their own lines
reach all the points of Importance
reached by the Minneapolis & St.
Louis.
The story is that Hawley was hard
pressed by ill luck in the Sully cotton
corner last spring and sold large
block of Minneapolis & st. Louis stock
to some of his friends. Again when it
was necessary to take over the Des
Moines & Ft.Dodge he converted more
Minneapolis & st. Louis stock into
cash, placing it among friends with the
understanding that he was to control
the road. The plan was good one to
raise the ready funds. but it may prove
his undoing.
The Rock Island has been on the
trail of Mr.. Hawley and his fellow
broker, Edwin Hooley, for couple of
years, since the latter secured control
of the Des Moines & Fort Dodge.
Learning of Hawley's action with Min
neapolis & st. Louis stock, they sent
secret buyers forth and purchased all
that could be bought, at slight adj
vance over the figures Hawley had sold
it.
Now they are ready to use this as
club if Mr.. Hawley refuses to bow to
their guidance.
This is the story as it has reached
local railway men. and, as it lacks con-
firmation, 1t may be but another of the
many unfounded rumors regarding the
road.
Little has developed in the negotia-
tons between the Rock Island and the
Minneapolis & st. Louis as to traffic
agreement. The Rock Island has in
structed local officials to get everything
in readiness to turn the line over to
the Minneapolis & ST. Louis January
l, but have not given any instructions
relative to the handling of business be-
tween here and Gowric or the opera
ton of the Sibley stub.

MAKES A CORRECTION.
Associated Press Finds One Of Hills
Speeches Was Wrongly Reported.

New York, N. Y, Sent, 3.-Investi-
cation by the Associated Press dis
closes the fact that number of seri-
GUS errors were made in the case of
the report Of Senator D. B. Hills
speech at Deposit. N. Y, on August
25. 1t seems that the reporter for a
local democratic paper upon whom
the Associated Press depended for its
report, failed to attend the meeting
but invented speech for Hill, which
contained several statements wholly
misrepresenting the senator's views
and quite at variance with his utter
ances. Among the phrases thus in
serted was one to the effect that Hill
had charged Roosevelt with being a
fraud" Mr.. Hill said nothing of the
kind. This correction is made with
out the knowledge of Hill or any of
his friends but in the interest of fair.
ness and of accuracy for the Asso-
ciated Press.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 3.-Senaror
Fairbanks formally opened the repub.

candidates for most of the state and
local offices.
Senator Fairbanks did not enter the

others had spoken, including G. P.Wal-

level all the time, but it can keep them
there longer than free trade can.

This is founded in good reason. It
is an ordinary, common sense propo-
sition. Under free trade, American
workmen have to compete not only
with themselves, but with the work.
men of all other countries also, while
under protection they. are not Obliged
to compete with workmen in other
countries, on the same basis, and they
have only to compete with their fell.
low workmen in this country. Our
democratic friends believe that pro-
tective tariff is wrong They have no
hospitality for it. They regard it as
robbery, and they propose to strike it
down. Let the wage ear1lers of the
country reflect upon this and make
their answer. Let the capitalists also
appreciate the full significance of what
is meant by the overthrow Of the pro.
tective system. The interests Of
American labor and capital are both
concerned in the question in a very
considerable degree"

Health is Falling.

MI; White was not enjoying the best

the opinion, however, that his trouble
was but temporary and that he would
soon recover. Since that time, how
ever, he has been growing steadily
worse and is finding that his work is
not conducive to improvement of his
health.
Whites poor health is matter of re-
greet to the members of the union. He

What Administration Has Done.

He concluded that the seven years Of
republican administration had demon.
strated that "the protective tariff and
the gold standard are we'll suited to
our requirements" Then briefly sum-
ming up the accomplishments Of the
administration, the senator said: "The
people demanded good money. They
never had better. They demanded an
isthmian canal. 1t is now in course of
construction. No act of dishonor at
taches to it. What has been done in
connection with it involved no VIOLA
tion of International faith. There was
no executive usurpation. President
Roosevelt merely protected American
interests. He acted in a prompt and
firm way. clearly within our national
rights and thereby made secure the
early completion of the great enter
prise so important to our commerce
and to our country.
1--WE did well our duty in the last
two national campaigns. Let us not
now jeopardize the fruit of those
splendid victories. Let us not give over
the administration of national affairs
to the opposition which has for so
many years, antagonized every great
measure which has made for our pres
ent prosperity and strength and pow

uled to make brief stops at several
points in Missouri and this plan was
pursued. The first stop was made at
Lexington Junction. There the sena-

who assembled. At Carrollton, there
was a larger crowd and he made a
brief speech from the car platform in
which he attributed to the prosperous
condition of the country to the efficien-
cy and virtue of republican policies,
and administration. At Marcelina, there
was another crowd and also a speech
by the vice presidential candidate. The
greetings at all stopping places were
respectfully cordial and there was lib
