HAMMERGRFN fLAYED
AS TRAITOR TO WARD
Representative Is Denounced to
His Face in Public
Meeting

Bertram G. Leveroos, a prominent
local business man, denounced Repre-
sentative David T. Hammergren for
his bolt of Senator Clapp at meet
ing Of the First ward Republican pre-
elnct committeeman.
Leveroos classed Hammergren as a
traitor to his party and to his dis
trict and declared that Hammergren
would not have been elected but for
the belief on the part of the people
that he would vote for the reelection
of Senator Clapp- The First ward had
been disgraced, he averred, and he
thought the Republican precinct COM
mitteemen should openly tell their
representative in the legislature their
opinion of his conduct.
In Hammergren's Office, at S51 Payne
avenue, and in the presence of Ham
statements. On his motion it was de-
cided that a future meeting of the
ward organization shall be held to take
action, the reason given for delay being
that but fifteen of the forty-five COM
mitteemen were present, and Chairman
John Blomquist did not believe that
the third of the membership
should exress itself
Denounced as Traitor
For one want to put my name
down as against such traitor as the
man we have elected to the legisla-
ture," said Mr.. Leveroos, with much
feeling and pointing his finger at
Hammergren, who was standing on the
opposite side of the room. 1T is by
taking such-a course as he is pursuing
that the ward is being turned over to
the Democrats. When Hammergren
was asking for our votes he was in
earnest and apparently honest in his
assertions that he would vote for the
reelection of Senator Clapp.
II have been in Duluth for some
time, andI was ashamed to read in the
papers there the statement of our
representative that he had changed his
mind and did not propose to support
Senator Clapp. 1t is our duty to state

TOO MUCH FOR FAME.
Mr.. Chamberlain Claims State is Be.
ing Hoodooed Out of $4,000.

Des Moines, Sept 21.-BelieVing,
as he alleges, that the Iowa state cap
itol commissions, composed of Hon.
A. B. Funk, Charles A. Cummings and
q. P. Schoentgen, Is about to pay Ell
mer E. Garnsey, the New York art
ist, to exceed $4,000 purely for the
sake of his artistic temperament and
his name and fame, w. ]. Chamber
lain, one of those DESTROYS of landing
the contract for the decorative work
on the state house, has brought a
suit in the district court of Polk coun-
ty asking that the commission be en-
joined from carrying out its contract
with Mr.. Garnsey.
Mr.. Chamberlain says that the work
can be done for about one-haf of the
amount suggested in the contract
which Mr.. Garnsey is to complete
with the capitol commission. The
contract price of the decorative work
ON the state house is something over
SCI 900, which Mr.. Chamberlain says
is too much by half.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. FLA man
who is regarded by the secret service
| officers and by the authorities of Oy-
ster Bay as dangerous crank, was
apprehended here shortly before noon
Tuesday. He is j. E. Reeves, a
medium-sized, roughly-attired man
about 40 years of age. He was making
lis way to Sycamore Hill when he was
arrested. He told Officer Tyree, who
apprehended him. that he wanted to
see the president on important busi-
ness, Believing from the mans man
ner that he was insane Officer Tyree
took him before Justice Franklin for
examination.
To the justice Reeves said that six
years ago he died in Jersey City hos
pital and went to Heaven in an auto
mobile. While there he received an
important message for President
Roosevelt which he was directed to
deliver personally. He refused to say
what the nature of the message was as
he declared he could communicate 1t to
nobody but the president. He declared
to the justice, however, that he had
written book on his experiences in
Heaven which he desired to have pub
lished as he was satisfied millions
could be made out OF it. The presi-
dent, he said. undoubtedly would join
with him in securing the publication
of the work and that was one reason
why he wished to have talk with
him.
Reeves, who talked as if he had en-
joyed some educational advantages,
said that he was resident of Balti-
more. He had gone from that city to
Hagerstown, Md, and then to Wash
ington to see the president Learning
there that President Roosevelt was in
Oyster Bay, Reeves returned to Balti-
more and made his way to Philadel
phia, New York, Jersey City and
Hampstead, L. l. He arrived here
Tuesday from Hampstead He had in
his pockets two dollars in cash and
some unimportant papers, but no
weapons.
Justice Franklin, after the examina-
tion, being convinced that the man
was insane and very likely dangerous,
deputized one of the secret service men
to take him to Mineola, where formal
inquiry into his mental condition will
be held.

FROM HOUSE 10 10 HOUSE HOUSE
County Sunday School Canvass To
Be Made October Is.

1t is doubtful whether a more i'm
portant work looking toward the en-
largement of the Sunday schools OF
Iowa has ever been undertaken than
the house to house canvass which is
to be made this fall under the aus
pieces of the Iowa State Sabbath School
association.
The plan is to thoroughly organize
the Christian forces wherever posi-
BILE and make a canvass of every
house.
The visitors previously appointed
and instructed go out to a specific ter.
ritory which has been assigned them.
They are expected to do two things.
First, to extend cordial invitation
to those not identified with any
church or Sunday school to become
so. But in no case to specify par
ticular church.
Second, to gather on uniform blanks
such simple information concerning
each house as will enable pastors and
other church workers to intelligently
follow up the visit.
Mahaska county Sabbath school as
sociation is planning to join in the
visitation and will make the canvass
October Is. The supplies have al.
ready been ordered and we are anx.
ious to have every township organized
and in line for the canvass.
The churches and SUNDAY schools
of the county intend that every mem.
Der of the community should feel
through personal and cordial invita-,
ton that they are welcome at all the
services.
The information asked for by the
visitors is not for publication or for
mere curiosity sake, but that the
churches may have accurate and com.
plete data from which to work most
intelligently and economically.
We hope and believe that the visit.
ors Of our county will receive the
same hearty cooperation and cheerful
answer to their questions as have
been received in other places where
such canvasses have been carried on

Secretary of H. to H. ".

MASKED ROBBERS
KILL THREE men
DAsTARDLY CRIME COMMITTED
AT RIvERDALg, I'LL.
THIEVES ATTACK ITALIANS
Two Of the Victims Shot Dead--Third
Dies of His Wounds-Ch Chicago
Police Divided in Opinion
as to Motive.

Chicago, Sept. 21.-Bruno Vincenza
died Tuesday at the county hospital,
making the third death as a result Of
the raid by two masked men upon a
section shanty in Riverdale Monday
night Vincenza was brought to the
county hospital suffering from wound
in the abdomen. He made an ante
mortem statement in which he said
that when the masked men entered the
shanty they began shooting without
warning. Vincenza's two companions,
Giacinto Vincenza and Antonio Vir-
russo, fell fatally wounded. Bruno Vim
cenza was then shot as the murderers
backed out of the shanty.
Life Savings Stolen.
All of tie men were known to have
the wages of months in their little
trunks, which they carried about with
them from one camp to another. They
were planning to return to Italy
and had been boarding their saw
ings for long time. This information
was known to other laborers employed
in the construction work and it is
thought that Italians who knew the
men committed the robbery.
The banalts after robbing their VIC
tins set fire to the shanty, leaving the
two bodies and the wounded man in
side. Vincenza, badly wounded, man
aged to crawl out of reach of the flames
and lay on the ground until help ar
rived.
1t was impossible to learn how much
money the robbers obtained, as the
amount kept by each victim in his
trunk was known only to himself 9th
err gangs of laborers were employed
on the work and occupied numerous
shanties along the right of way. The
police at once turned their attention
to these, searching carefully to see il
any of their usual occupants were
missing. 1t was the general belief that
some of the Italians were responsible
for the shooting.
Divided as to Motive.
It is believed by several Chicago de-
tectives that robbery was not the motive
for the crime, as $3.50 in currency was
found in clothing in the shanty after
the shooting and attempt to cremate
the bodies by setting fire to the shanty.
Whether they believed the Malta to be
associated with the crime the police
would not say. The Riverdale police,
1t is said, are satisfied robbery was the
motive. They believe that the robbers
merely failed to find the $3.50. Fifty
dollars, which one of the victims is
supposed to have had in his clothing,
cannot be accounted for.

IN LONDON TOWN
SERIOUS DISTURBANCE ON DAY
OF ACHIEVEMENT.
STREETS FILLED WITH MOB
Disregard of Religious Rites by One
Faction Causes the Row-Police
Are Called Out to Quell
the Disorder.

London, Sept. 21.-The day of atone
ment was marked in London by seri-
Gus rioting in the Jewish quarter of
the East end. Over 1000 Jews engaged
In a disturbance and nearly 800 police
had to be called out before the disorder
was quelled The trouble arose over
the action Of non-conforming members
Of social-democratic Jewish club at
Spitalfields, situated in the heart Of a
district containing about 10000 Jewish
inhabitants. The socialists openly
paraded, in disregard of the fasting in
junction, and made celebration with
wines at the clubhouse. The orthodox
Jews were angered and surrounded the
clubhouse and stoned it. The socialists
threw bottles at the crowd and soon
the two or three narrow streets in the
vicinity became choked by fighting
mob. Ambulances were called out and
the doctors had many minor cases to
attend to. Finally the police quelled
the disturbance, cordoned Off the
streets in the disturbed area and made
several arrests. Excited groups OF
orthodox Jews, however, continued to
parade the streets and the houses of
several socialist Jews were stoned.
The magistrate in sentencing the
various rioters brought up at the local
police court said it was "deplorable
that class of persons who for centuries
have been distinguished by the fiercest
persecution should, when in the one
free country in the world, turn upon
those who disagreed with them upon
religious grounds and stone and perse-
cute even their co-religionists"
