REPUBLICANS OF IOWA
Getting R eady For the Big State
Convention Tomorrow.

Des Moines, July 19.-With the
fights shimmered down to the contest
on railway commissioner and two
state committeemanships, the repubIf-
can state convention tomorrow prom
ises to be another in the long line Of
harmonious gatherings of the party in
Iowa.
Last night it was generally conced
ed that the fight for railroad commits
sioner lay between DIR. Porterfield
and N. S. Ketchum. The odds we're
slightly in favor of the latter, many
predicting that ne would be nominal
ed on at least the third ballot, with
possibility on the first or second. DIR.
Porterfield and his followers denied
this, however, and claimed to be more
than satisfied with yesterdays re-
suits.
There was more or less talk in the
Hobbies regarding the resolutions. II
was limited that the moulders of the
platform of the first state convention
would attempt to have the resolutions
include ratification of it as well as
of the national platform. 1t was Civ
en- out on good authority, however
that all attempts to renew the old
fight by any such action would be
squelched in the start.
J. w. Blythe Present.
]. w. Blythe, of Burlington, arriv-
ed early yesterday afternoon and mix
ed freely at the Slavery lobby with the
delegates who had assembled. Later
in the evening he held a conference
at his suite with Carroll Wright and
others.
There is very little to say about
the convention" said Mr.. Blythe. TT
will be all harmonious. OF ALI
of the present state officials will be
unanimously renominated. There
will be a few ballots on the railroad
commissionership but it will be set
tied. There will be no deadlock.
Either of the candidates will be sat
isfactory. l assume that the contest
will be between Messrs. Porterfield
and Ketchum. have not heard who
is in the lead and do not know how
our district will vote.
"Of course the national platform
will be commended and the party fe-
dictated on the denomination OF
President Roosevelt.
Il had not heard of any possibility
of any reference to the platform or
the first state convention. I do not
think any is necessary. The national
platform welded all differences to-
gether, and if various ones want to IN
terpret i differently, let them do So
Trouble Over Lodge.

to use the influence OF the KnIEiifs OF

Whether he did or didn't he is being
charged with it. Many, of the mem
bers of the, lodge believe this wrong
and breach has been made that will
Offset any good that may have been

DIED In CAMP CROKER
Cook For Company L Of Newton
Expires Suddenly.

Des Moines, July 1S.-While walk
ing toward the headquarters of Gem
eral Byers at Camp Croker last
night, to watch the crowd and listen
to the band, which was serenading
Governor Cummins and the guard or
ficers assembled there, William A.
Johnson, the colored cook of Compa-
ny L of Newton, fell to the ground,
bleeding. He was picked up quickly
by the litter corps and taken to the
field hospital where it was seen that
ne was bleeding from the lungs. In
a few minutes he was dead. An ex-
animation by Surgeon Major Fair
child. Captain Jay and Drs. Flannery
and Conkling, revealed an abscess in
the apex Of the right lung, the rup-
ture of which had caused the mans
death.
The heat has been severe on the
boys, many of them dropping out of
the ranks. All cases of exhaustion
have been traced either to some ply
steal weakness or to the use of ice
water
Thus far Company boys have
Jared remarkably well, very few of
them being off duty, and none of them
seriously i'll.
This is the first brigade camp for
four years. The camp is on the new
grounds bought for camp purposes
just lately, for which the state paid
100000, 1t is just across from the
army post. In course of time it win
make, a fine camp ground. We are
hindered for room from the fact that
it was agreed that the present crops
should stand. Next year we will have
100 acres of fine prairie land.
The boys are having a good time
with lots of work. All of them are
getting sunburned, as the sun is get
ting good and not. But this is better
than rain.
C1i. Bishop has everything run on
regular army style. The men tents
are III the front, then the cooks

The men fall in line, march up to the
cooks shack, fill up the turtle backs"
and march back to their tents. After
eating, they clean their own dishes.

WAGES IN MASSACHUSETTS II
PER CENT HIGHER THAN IN
GREAT BRITAIN.

EXTRACT from the remarks of Hon.
Nelson Dingley, Jr., of Maine, page
1920 Of Daily Congressional Record,
50th Congress, LIST session.
For many years free traders denied
the fact that wages are much, if any,
lower in Great Britain than here. But
since the Investigations of Col. Car
roll D. Wright, few years ago, then
commissioner of labor for Massachu-
sets, but now Commissioner of Labor
of the United States, which showed
that on an average wages in Massa-
chusetts are II per cent. higher than
in Great Britain, running from IS per
cent. in cotton manufacturing (where
less skill is required in most grades
OF cottons made in this country than
in other manufacturing industries)
to over 100 per cent. in industries re-
quiring a high degree of skill, the
claim has been set up that whatever
advantage a workingman may have
in this country over similar work
ingman in Great Britain is Offset by
the increased cost Of living.

| Now shortly after man had been
Developed from the monkey
He planned and built and settled in
The city of Udnund.
The centuries have come and gone
And mid the clay heaps cluttered
| The digging crew has come upon
The house of him who muttered:
"The outlook don't look good to me;
Times isn't what they used to be-,
Above Udnunh there was built
A long-forgotten city;
The excavations in the silt
Show buildings quaint and pretty.
And of the houses brought to light

Who to his neighbors grumbled:

Its palaces knew bow and hop
And smirk of beau and turnkey

But patient search has netted
The home of him whose gloomy fears
Were pictured when he fretted:
"a man don't stand no show to-day
The old times was the best, I say
And they may dig on down and down
Through relics worn and junky.

sioner. there being many more Ital.
/ ian claimants than of any other Ma
tionality. The aggregate awards were
about 100000.
Many questions of double citizen
i.ship came before the commission,
and the umpire held in all cases of
difference between Venezuelan and
Italian laws that the law domicile
of the claimants after the time of
birth should control.
The largest claim was that of the
Corvala heirs, for more than $4,000
600. The original claimant was born
in Sicily. but passed a large part of
his life in Venezuela acting abroad, !.
however, at different periods in va
rious capacities for that country. The
umpire held that according to the law
of his native land, Coryala had forfeit
ed his original citizenship by his Dip
lomatic employment. and his heirs
therefore could not be heard before
the Italian commission.
Another case of Importance was
that of the Martini Company, which
held a concession for coal mines and
the railroad from Guanata to Barcelo-
ho ~,
because of interference with business
by the paper blockade and closure Of
the port of Guanata. The umpire held
that under the terms of the 4conces- ,
sion the port should have remained
open. and that the paper blockade, or
blockade by proclamation only, was IL I
legal. and that Venezuela was liable
for damages directly resultant there
from granting the company $4,000.
A claim of 100000 was presented
by the Poggiolis, who had been mer-zt
chants in the State of Los Andes
The Poggiolis declared they had been
assaulted, that their assailants, by
of the authorities, es-
capped punishment, and that their ex-l
.ensive properties had been destroy
ed through the joint action of the au-
:horities and private individuals. The
umpire held that Venezuela was legal
Y liable for the wrongdoing of her
officials and granted an award of
100000.

cent. per annum. the legal rate in
