STRIKES AT HEPBURN BILL.
Cummins Points Out Faults, Says II
Will Not Solve Rate Problem.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Feb. 1.-Gov-
ernor Cummins has issued state
ment in which he opposes the Hep
burn bill on the ground that it will
create an unwieldy and expensive jul
dicial body to usurp largely the
functions of the legislative body, which
he believes the interstate commerce
commission should be.
He says the bill is faulty in that II
does not make the rate effective at
once, but gives sixty days in which
railways may delay and afterwards
grants rights of appeal to the rail-
ways which are not granted to the
shippers.
The governor expresses belief that
the rate problem cannot possibly be
solved without making a rate effective
Immediately upon the action of the in
terstate commerce commission and to
remain effective until annulled by
competent courts.

BASEMENT FIRE UNDER suTH-
ERLAND's THIS MORNING
HARD TO LOCATE.
Fire Started From Stored oakum-
) Employs of tho Company Nearly
Suffoeated.

Fire in the basement Of the Suth-
erland company, plumbers, at 10 East
Main street this morning threatened
the whole, building for a time and
baffled the 'firemen to locate the flames
owing to dense clouds of smoke which
issued from the exits. Smoke was
first discovered issuing from the front
part of the basement by an employe
Of the company.
An alarm to the central station
brought out the chemical and few
rninutes later the steamer was brought
UT but owing to the cramped quar-
tiers the firemen found it difficult to
handle the apparatus and a line of
hose was attached to hydrant and
run into the basement. Chief Metz
headed a crew of men and worked his
way to the front of the building
where a quantity Of oakum was found
to be on fire. The burning mass was
quickly brought to the surface and
the danger was over. An employe of
the company had narrow escape
from suffocation while attempting to
locate the fire before the arrival of
firemen. He became bewildered in
the dense smoke and was cropping
about for an exit when found by
Water Superintendent knight who
piloted him to the open air. 1t is
supposed that the oakum took fire
from spontaneous combustion DAM
age to- the stock resulted principally
from smoke and water. =
When it was found the building was
or fire great commotion ensued among
the students of the Empire Business
college, which is located on the second
floor.

per cent of the whiskey sold over the

is mistake. / have never made such
a denial although I have been solicit

the delegation representing the whole

ported in the New York Times and the
New York Sun. No such delegation
had called on me, and never made
the statements attributed to me by
any person. In order that my own
view may not be misunderstood, de-
sire to repeat it. l believe that at
least IS per cent if not more of the
whiskey sold over the bar in the Unit
ed States is not straight whisky. 1t
is q compound made of neutral spirit,
or alcohol artif1cially colored, often
favored with artificial essences and
sometimes mixed with more or less
straight whisky to give flavor. When
sold as straight whisky, it is an initial
ed or adulterated article.
