Story of It's Construction

Iowa people are proud Of their state house.
They proud Of the fact that it built by
commission and that after seventeen years. after
a most rigid investigation, the commission was
found TO be off in its accounts only $3.77. In re-
atty four separate commissions have conducted
the work OF erecting and completing the Iowa
capitol building and the fourth is now only com
plotting the building, the foundation for which was
first laid in 1871. The first commission consisted
of the governor, who was made ex-oficio president
of the board, and eight members selected by the
house and senate. They were to receive IS a day
for the actual time they put in and also their sc-
tual travelling expenses. The men who really
built the state house Maturin L. Fisher, r.
s. Finkbine and Peter A. Dey. the last named
being the only living.
Under the provision that the rate of taxation
could not be Increased the erection of the state
house was slow process and seventeen years
later when the legislature suddenly abolished the
commission, though the building was occupied by
the state officials, it was not completed The gov
building and he made such temporary arrange
ments were necessary and the building re
manned in much that condition till the twenty
eighth general assembly I'm 1900 created the can
itol Improvement commission and charged IL with
making an investigation of the building with a
view to completing it, This commission consisted
of Peter 4. Dey, member of the first commits
sion; Prof. G. A. Cumming of this city and Henry
s. Josselyn. This commission did considerable
work and the next legislature provided for the
commission, now putting on the finishing touches
The original intention of the legislature was
that the capitol should cost not to exceed 81 .5OO
900. Up to 1887 the General Assembly had APP
propriated at different times and there had been
expended on the state house 50 $4,000 Since
then the legislature has appropriated over a quar-
ter OF . million and the cost of the completed
building viii be at least s3.25o.ooo

$4,000 DEMANDED FOR LET
TIERS STOLEN FROM COM

BEEF TRUST SUIT is BASIS
ALLEGED CONSIDERATIONS ARE
LED INTO A TRAP AND
ARRESTED.

Chicago, Nov. 10. - William S. Nc
Swain and William Cole, his brother
in-law, were arrested here yesterday
charged with attempting to blacl1mail
j. Ogden Armour and other members
OF Armour & Co. for $4,000 in con-
nection with the beef 4"ust investiga-
ton, upon letters which &hey are al
legged to have stolen from the files of
the company.
McSwain was employed by Armour
& Co. for four years as a stenographer
and in that way had access to part of
the mail of the packing company.
Since the recent beef investigation
was begun it is charged that he has
taken letters from the files of the
concern.
Threatened Mr.. Armour.
Three weeks ago, it is said, he ap-
preached Mr.. Armour and threatened
to turn the letters over to the federal
authorities unless he was paid $40,-
900. Mr.. Armour refused to listen to
the proposition aud then McSwain, it
is alleged, made similar demands on
other officials of the Armour company.
With hope of leading McSwain and
his companion into trap, several
meetings were held between McSwain
and Attorney Roserthal, representa-
tive of the packing company. "At
each of these meetings." said Mr. Ros-
enthal, "the sum was gradually re-
duced until McSwain
Agreed to Give Up
the letters for the sum of $4,000. A
meeting was arranged with him at
the Auditorium hotel, where it was
agreed that $4,000 should be paid
him on the. delivery of the letters and
$4,000 a week later"
When the two alleged conspirators
appeared at the hotel yesterday to
collect the money they were arrested
by two city detectives who had been
notified of the attempted blackmail
The officials of Armour & Co, de-
clare that they had no fear that the
letters in the possession of McSwain
could be used against them, but that
they had the two alleged conspirators
arrested in order to discourage other
employees who might adopt a similar
course to secure money.
