SWEDISH CABINET
IS DISSOLVED
Failure to Recognize Norway
is the Cause of
Fracture.
WOULD DICTATE TO NORWAY
Disagreement On the Terms of PIE
biscite-Sweden Wants Agreement
Whereby No Act of Norway VIII
Be Shouldered.

Stockholm, July 26.-As the result
of a heated argument in the riksdag
yesterday the cabinet has resigned.
Stockholm, Sweden, July 26.-The
special committee appointed by the
riksdag to deal with the crisis which
created the revolution in Norway, yes
terday delivered its report. The COM
mittee declares unanimously that the
government bill cannot be adopted
in the form in which it was represent
ed TO the riksda2, and proposed that
the riksday shall signify it's willingness
to negotiate with Norway for a disso-
luton of the union if the newly elected
strothing requests a repeal of the act
OF union and a dissolution of the un-
ion, or if such request is received
from Norway, after the Norwegian
people, by a plebiscite. have declared
In favor of a dissolution of the union.
The committee recommends that in
the event of a dissolution of the union
Sweden should insist on the following
terms:
First-the establishment of a zone
on each side of the frontier separat-
ing the Kingdoms within which the ex-
listing Notifications shall be RACED and
new Notifications may not be erected.
Second-The right of pasturing
reindeer belonging to the Swedish
Laplanders in north Norway.
Third-That the transit trade
through both countries shall be secur-
ed against unjustifable obstruction.
Fourth-That the status of Sweden
in respect to foreign powers as es-
tablished by treaty, shall be clearly
defined so that Sweden shall be com
pletely freed from responsibility for
Norway to other states.
The committee also regards an ar
bitration convention between Sweden
and Norway as desirable, although it
does not consider it an essential condi-
ton for the dissolution of the union.
The committee further proposes to
authorize the government to raise a
loan of 5000, 900, which can by a
resolution of the riksdag be made
available for such readjustments and
arrangements as may be necessitated
by the new conditions.
Stockholm, Sweden, July 28.-Both
houses of the Swedish parliament yes
terday approved the report of the
special committee appointed by parli-
ament to deal with the crisis between
Norway and Sweden. In the first
the report was adopted without de-
bate.

ROCK ISLAND To
SPEND MILLIONS

Chicago, July 27.-Arrangements
have been made by the Rock Island
road for expanding $4,000 900 during
the present year on the Improvement
of its Iowa lines.
Part of the principal work decided
upon is the elimination Of some bad
curves near Des Moines, Casey and
Avoca. The heavy grades east OF
Des Moines will be greatly reduced.
On the main line of the southwest
division, the track between Wash
ington and Centerville will be straigh-
tened and improved.
The main line is to be double track
ed from Iowa City to Valley Junction
and other needed improvements are
to be made.
By building the double track, the
Rock Island will be enabled to aug
ment its train service in Iowa, carry
ing its war on interurbans, real and
prospective, with greater vigor than
it is able to do with it's single track.
The improvements are part of the
plan to enable reduction in time in
passenger schedules which will make
the road a competitor for United
States mail contracts now held by the
Northwestern and the Burlington.
1t is understood that a new fast
passenger train between Omaha and
Chicago will be soon, the train leaving
Omaha two or three hours later than
the present No. 6. 1t is said that the
passenger service for No. 6 is so
heavy that the train frequently has
to be run in two sections.

MYSTERIOUS WOMAN
SAVES JOHANN HOCH

Chicago, July "a woman with
money e~ffectually interviewed yester-
day between "Bluebeard' Johann
Hoch and the hangman. Almost on
the steps of the scaffold, the combi-
nation of femininity and finance that
has been potent throughout the ca
reer Of the multi-bigamist and wife
murderer developed anew and Sc
cured him at least two hours longer
lease of life.
After all arrangements were COM
pleted and death faced Hoch within
two hours, a woman, believed to be
Mrs. May Wilson, went to his rescue.
So earnest did she appear in an offer
to furnish money to enable Hoch to
appeal his case hat there were hur-
ried consultations between officials.
The upshot was that the execution
planned to take place at moor was
POSTPONED until 2 p. m. the last min
ute allowed by law unless the COVER
nor should grant a further reprieve.
The woman is said to be wealthy
and professed to have become inter
ested in the case from humanitarian
motives only. She enlisted in her aid
DR.. Liston H. Montgomery, one of the
most prominent physicians in the
city. DR.. Montgomery acted as her
intermediary.
Finally the money necessary to pay
for the appeal was put up and the
governor granted a reprieve until
August 25.

TO HOLD SAUERKRAUT FEAST
Citizens of AckIey Arrange to Enter
tain Hundreds.

Ackley, July 31.-This city will
hold its third annual Sauerkraut
day August II, and unusual prepare
lions are being made for the enter
tainment of the big crowds hat are
expected to flock to the American
headquarters for sauerkraut and
weinerwursts.
By August II a string of sausages
will have been made which would
reach from Calais, Me-, to San Diego,
Cal, which mighty length is necessary
to feed the crowds that receive it
free of charge from long tables on
the principal street Of the town. The
s~auergraut is partly manufactured at
home, but some of it is shipped in.
North Of town a certain farmer raises
fifty acres of cabbages every year to
supply the yearly feast with a part
of the necessary edible. Other agri-
culturists raise them to a more limited
extent, yet they never become a drug
on the market, as the available sup
ply is always reduced on S%auerkraut
day to nonentity. Fourth of July and
Thanksgiving fade into insignificance
in this part of Iowa before the glories
of Sauerkraut day. AS usual, all the
celebrities of the world have received
a cordial invitation to be present, and
many will undoubtedly be here.

RAILROADS UP;
LAND Down
The Executive Council Raises
the Railway Assessment
S2,637,400.
BUT REDUCES THE FARM LAND
Value of the Latter Is $86,o52, $50
Under 1908 Assessments Electric
Lines Showed Up-TeIephone Prop
erty Also Increased,

Des Moines, July 2S.-The state ey-
ecutive council yesterday completed
the assessment of railroads and finish
ed the work of equalizing the assess
ment of lands as among the counties
of the state.
While the actual assessed value of
railroad property was increased ST.
637,400 as compared with 1904, the
farm lands of the state have been re-
duced since 1903 $S6, O52, 800, or $3.50
an acre.
Had the relative valuation of these
two classes of property in 1908. been
maintained this year the council, in
stead of increasing the railroad as
sessment, would have been compelled
to decrease the taxable value by
about $500, 900.
While the Rock Island assessment
was reduced $500 ,525, the other chief
lines Of the state were increased In
the following sums. all figures refer
ring to the taxable valuation and
comparison being made with 1904.
Burlington ..$l2O,5|l
Great Western .294,lII
Milwaukee .244,O S3
Northwestern .............. 9O,SlO
The interurban assessment was in
creased from $.305, 722 to $43S,763.
The assessment Of the property OF
other corporations by the executive
council was completed yesterday, al
so.
The telephone companies have
largely increased in number and the
business of those which have been in
business has largely expanded. The
assessment was increased materially
but the totals have not yet been ag-
gregated.
The express company assessment
was slightly reduced, the Adams,
Wells-Fargo, Great Northern and
United States being reduced S. a
mile to $40, and the American and
Pacific being left at the former fig
ures, $45 and $50 respectively.
The sleeping car and special car
line assessments remain substantially
as they were.
1t was decided to fix the state levy
this year at 80 mills. The review of
the levies for the last few years shows
hat this is but a trife above the
average for four years.
The statute required the council
to fix a levy this year which will raise
$4,000, 900 next year. The council
council elected to be on the safe side
within the statute and fixed the levy
at the figure 80 mills. The falling
off in the assessment, of course, more
than balances the increase in the
levy.
The council in equaliZing the as
sessment Of farm lands followed the
downward trend which the assessors
of practically all the counties had fol-
lowed before the assessment was re-
ported to the auditor of state.
The council reduced the assessment
as reported this year by the counties,
in the sum of 1924 I 1854. The total
reduction since 1903 is over $86,00O.-
600, or $3.50 an acre. The council
reduced the assessment reported this
year in almost every county of the
state.

TEXAS FEVER WAS
FOUND BY DR.. KOT0

Des Moines, July 27.-A few weeks
ago a stranger appeared at East Peru
in Madison county and sold al least
four farmers in that section a num-
Der of very good looking cattle which
he has brought on from Kansas City.
A few days ago a peculiar disease
broke out among the cattle that he
had not sold, but had left in another
farmers pasture, while the same dis
ease broke out in the herds of at
least two Of the farmers who had
bought of the stranger.
State Veterinarian Koto was called
and promptly discovered that the dis
ease was Texas fever. infectious and
contagious and that a strict quaran-
tine must be established and the sick
animals destroyed and buried accord
ing to state regulations.
Two or three of the herd that the
Kansas City mar had left in the pas
ture of William Fenimore died, four
which he had sold to Jeff Hogg died,
one or two of those bought by Clyde
Taylor died and others were sick.
The cattle were at once placed under
quarantine and all were vaccinated.
The cattle had been turned in with
the native herds, which complexities
the matter. Anderson INC Elmer
Fenimore were also among those who
bought of the Kansas City dealer.
The state law requires the dead
cattle which died as the result of a
disease of this character to be covered
with lime, soaked in coal oil and
burned and the remains buried in a
hole six feet deep. Each burial costs
about IS, another loss for the suffer,
ing farmer. OF course law suits will
be the outcome of these purchases.

er an address on Municipal Owner
snip at the annual outing of the
Tammany club, a democratic organ
ization.
While instancing the effect of mu,
nicipal ownership in eastern cities,
Mayor Dunno dwelt particularly on
the Chicago campaign in this direc.
ton and said that the movement is
not only strong in Chicago but is
growing with tremendous strides all
over the United States, and he de.
cIared that Notwithstanding the fact
that all the c~apitalistic influences of
the country and most of the metropo-
Titan organs are ranged on the side
of the private companies, the time Of
absolute municipal ownership is not
very far off.

|ARM|sT|CE TO
Be FIRST ACT
Mr. Sato, Spokesman for
Komura. Expresses
Himself
JAPAN WOULD STOP FIGHT
Credentials Must Be FIRST Examined,
However Sato Says Japanece
Agents Have Power TO Sign Any
thing in the Name of Japan.

New York, July 29.-Inquiry was
made by Mr.. Sato. Baron Komura's
spokesman, as to the attitude of the
Japanese OF the question of an arm
istice, and he replied:
japan is perfectly willing to agree
to an armistice after the credentials
of both commissions have been ex-
amined and verified.
The examination of credentials
must necessarily be the first duty OF
the peace delegates to ascertain tint
all are qualified to act in the capacity
to which they are represented. In
the negotiations for peace that ended
the Chinese wal l remember there
was much delay because the creden-
tails of one of the Chinese plenipoten-
tiaries did not bear the emperor's seal
granting him plenary powers.
However, l think an armistice will
be agreed upon after the commissions
enter formally upon their work. 1t has
been the custom in all peace negotia-
tons to cease hostilities during the
convention of peace plenipotentiar-
les"
Mr.. Sato was asked as to the defin-
tie powers of the members of his
commission and he said:
'They have power to reject. n
proposal and commit the Japanese
government to any document they
may sign. subject, Of course, to the
sanction of the emperor"
The reports that China intended
asking an indemnity Mr.. Sato had
read and regarding this he said:
China could not ask any indemnity
of Japan. 1t was her inability or I'M
willingness to keep Russia out OF
Manchuria that forced us into the
war;" pc
Throughout the day Baron Komura
applied himself closely to his official
duties. Many dispatches are trans
mitted to and from Toxic, and all the
secretaries with the suite are taxed
with an enormous amount of work.
Mr.. Sato commented uron the re-
ception to Secretary Taft in Toxic
and said he had read the reports
with deep interest. The fact that the
historic Chrysantnemum gardens had
been thrown open to the secretary,
Mr.. Sato said. was indicative of the
feeling toward Americans In Japan.
"These gardens are almost sacred
in our country" said Mr.. Sato, and
this is the first time they have been
opened to a foreign citizen. 1t is a
marked distinction and honor. They
are opened for our own people but
twice a year"

Des Moines, July 29.-The next
trouble of the railroads will be to
supply sanitary cars for health and
convenience of passengers. A reso-
luton was passed at the meeting of
the state board of health this morning
ing deploring the present condition
of the present cars and making ar
rangements for cooperation with the

The idea of the board is not only
for the cleansing Of the cars but for
the cooperation of the roads in the
prevention of the spread of disease.

MITCHELL GETS
6 MONTHS TERM

Portland Ore. July 26.-United
States Senator Mitchell, convicted OF
using his office of United States sena-
tor to further the law practice of the
firm of Mitchell and Tanner. of this
city, was yesterday sentenced to pay
"a fine of $1,000 and six months penal
servitude. Pending a review of the
case by the supreme cour of the Uni
ted States execution of the sentence
will be deferred. In the meantime
Mitchell will be placed under bail to
the amount of $4,000.
In ~pronouncing sentence upon the
aged United States senator, Judge De
Haven said:
"The statute under which indictment
was found provides that the offense
shall be punished by Imprisonment OF
not more than two years or by a fine
of not more than $4,000. 1t also rem
ders the defendant incapable of again
holding any office OF trust or profit
in the United States. AS | construe
the language of the statute, the pun-
ishment must be both fine and impris.
onment, but the court is given great
latitude in fixing the amount of fine
or Imprisonment. The court may
make the punishment merely nominal.
In p~ronouncing sentence it is not my
purpose to comment on the evidence
or the verdict found by the jury. In
reaching a conclusion in this case I
have given consideration to the age
Of the defendant, which may be taken
into account in mitigation of pun-.
ishment, and the further fact that he
is forever hereafter disqualified from
holding any office.
in view of these facts, and in con-
s~ideration of the nature of the Of
tense, the Judgment of the court is
that the defendant be imprisoned for
six months in the county Jail of Null
tnomah county, in this state, and that
he be fined the sum of $1,000"

HANCOCK FARMERS ORGANIZE.
Form Society at Britt to Dispose of
Their Products.

Britt. July 3O.-The farmers OF
Hancock county have organized a
farmers cooperative society with
a capital stock of $4,000, and have
established their headquarters ar
Britt. They will Guy and sell lumber,
coal and grain, but will refrain from
going into machinery and clothing,
etc, as many such organizations are
doing.
The cooperative society at Swale-
dale, which was organized a few
weeks ago, has decided to suspend
operations. This conclusion was
reached after a meeting at which an
effort was made to secure sufficient
funds to set the machinery of the
institution going. The farmers there
will sell their produce to local deal
ers.
