PLAN TO WRECK CITY PAYER
Evidences Discovered which Lead to
Belief that Plot Was
Laid.

Evidence that attempts have been made
to wreck the new municipal asphalt plant
was discovered Monday by City Engineer
Rosewater and Assistant City Engineer
Craig.
They happened to be at the plant about
II o'clock, when a belt was suddenly thrown
out OF commission and the mixing stopped.
Investigation showed that the trouble was
caused by the arresting OF the sand con-
veyor. which is operated by a chain belt
extending from the top to the floor OF the
building. Wedged in the oonveyor. so that
the belt could not travel forward, was a
quantity of bolts and iron. Had the power
belt not been Jared loose the chances are
the eonveyor would have parted and a
large part Of the machinery and structure
been torn to pieces and dlsmantled by the
shock.
There is little question but that the iron
was thrown into the conveyor with ma
licious intent" said Engineer Rosewater.
Both Mr. Craig and myself made a
thorough investigation and we are satisfied
there was no way for the distractions 70
get in the conveyor by accident. Who did
Il, or for whom he was acting we do not
know. but we 80 aware that there is
violent opposition to the successful opera
ton OF the plant among certain interested
persons in this city.
las in every new enterprise, we had diff
| hculties for several weeks in getting the
plant TO run properly. For the last several
days, however, things have gone smoothly
and il looked as though we would have no
more trouble. By good fortune no DANA &c
was done and work was suspended only
about thirty minutes, About $50 yards OF
mixture was turned out, or nearly the
guaranteed capacity.
! Special care has been taken to guard
against tampering with the plant in future
A high board fence has been built around
IL. locks provided for the gates, an electric
light installed and watchmen are on duty
day and night. / am determined this ven.
ture shall be a success. We know now e
a certainty that repairs are being made
cheaper than ever before in the history o.
the city.
Il wish It understood that l accuse M
one as guilty OF responsible for the attemp
to wreck the plant Monde Detectiv,
work now In progress may reveal the facts
but until have definite evidence l will sa,
nothing on this point We have absolutel!
no evidence TO connect anyone with tn,

NAN TO OPPOSE CUMMINS
Railroads Pick Daniel Davenport OfBridge-
port, Connecticut,
ARGUED CASE BEFORE SENATE COMMITTEE
Rev. SIR. shane, who Testified He
was sanctihed, Unable to Con-
vince the Court such
Was the Fact.
CFrom a stan Correspondent


DIES MONIES July 35.-(special)--1t
was learned today that Daniel Davenport
OF bridgeport, Conn. is to give the railroad
side of the argument in what will amount
to joint debate with Governor Cummins
at the Chautauqua at Clarinda, August l6.
Mr.. Davenport represented the Stockhold-
ers' association before the senate commit
tee at the hearings in Washington last
February and appeared before the commit
tee four days. His argument then was
that while IL is conceded that congress
has the power to fix railroad rates It can
not show a preference between the ports
of the country and that hence the only
thing possible will be a distance tariff
He argues that the distance between the
Atlantic ports and Chicago is different and
that II the Interstate Commerce commits
sion fixes a rate other than on the mileage
basis or distance tariff It will be showing
preference, which is against the consti-
tuition He argued before the committee
also that it would be impossible for the
Cover nment to operate the railroads for
| the reason that the federal government
has no authority to fix rate between two
points in the same state and so could only
| confne itself TO interstate traffic.
He argues, too, that the greater part
is owned by the banks and life insurance
COMPANIES and that this money belongs
| directly to the depositors and policy hold
ers, an association of which he represented
before the committee. Mr.. Davenport has
been practicng law in Bridgeport for
| nearly thirty years.

that he remained on top of one OF the hills
of Kansas City for several days watching

wife and secured a court order for the
child. The mother and child left the state
! and he next located her in a dream and
finally followed her to Des Moines.

TWELVE HUNDRED SUITS

=
Washington, d. c., July 4.-The
department of agriculture has pre-
pared to institute 1,20O suits against
the railroads of the country, including
all of the big western and southern
lines, for violations of the law which
provides that cattle in transit from
one state to another, after they have
been in the cars for 2S hours, must be
unloaded, fed and wa[ered and rested
for at least five hours. The penalty
for each violation is a fine of from
800 to $500, and the government will
seek to have the maximum penalty
imposed.
The law is an old one. but II has
been a dead letter until recently. The
former legal advisor of the department
held that two witnesses to each Of
fense were necessary to secure a con-
viction. Two inspectors were employed
and secured a few convictions, but the
railroads preferred pay fines at long
intervals than to go to the trouble Of
complying with the law.
George McCabe of Utah, who is ia
miiar with cattle shipping, was made
legal adviser to Secretary Wilson a
year ago, and a new system was in
augurated. The 1900 inspectors and
taggers employed by the bureau of ami
NAL industry, at the chief shipping
points, feeding stations and stock
yards, were instructed to keep a rec
ord of all shipments of cattle, includ-
ing the time of their departure ana
arrival and whether or not they were
fed and rested. In this way evidence
that is declared to be absolutely con-
elusive was secured in 1900 cases,
Many of the roads want to compromise
by paying fines in some of the cases
and having the others dismissed, and
all Of them have promised to obey the
law hereafter. To do this some of the
roads will run cattle trains on pas
senger train schedules to get them to
their destination within the 2S-hour
limit. Others are putting on large sta
BILE cars in which the cattle can eat
drink and rest. The operation of these
cars is now being investigated.
