Des Moines, Oct. 5.-The entire Iowa
delegation In congress will come TO
the support of Governor Cummins In
the controversy with the war depart
melit over the part that the Fifteenth
and Sixteenth regiments took In the
battle of Shiloh and the inscription
that the war department, or rather
the Shiloh commission, proposes to put
on the Shiloh monument Members Of
the Iowa delegation in congress have
looked into the matter, and 1t Is assert
ed on good authority that they have
all become convinced that the conten-
tion Of the survivors Of the Fifteenth
and Sixteenth is right and that the
only thing that stands In the way of
their getting what they want Is the
of the Shiloh commission, the
members of which have got 1t into
their heads that they will have things
their own way. Old soldiers are not
guessing very much on what Will hap

Iowa delegation to congress ,unites to
bring pressure on the war department..
Robert McAdam, inspector for the
government of renovated butter fac
tories in the west said today: 1T Is a
mystery to me that Iowa, a state which
produces more butter than any other
state in the union, should serve such
+, Mt q cfa,,
ants Here Is Des Moines, in the CEN
ter Of the state and the center of dis
tribution for butter, with several large
butter factories and yet the butter on
the tables of the hotels here is about
the poorest that MI have eaten any
where. Back in New York, where a
great deal of butter is made, they pride
themselves at the hotels on the quality
Of the butter. This butter in Iowa,
and especially at the hotels in Des
Moines. is very poor. have made it
a point to eat at number Of differ
ent eating houses and hotels to see IL
there was no good butter used any
where. The quality Isl just the same
at every place I have eaten"
n.
Wright explains that the good butter
is kept for shipment and the poorer
quality worked off for home consump-
ton. Some of the good quality of but
ter that Is eaten at the hotels in New
York City comes from the farms and
of Iowa.
The fact has leaked out here that
there is move on to buy up lot Of
the big renovated butter factories Of
this state and form a trust. The two
big concerns here are likely to be in
the combine that is backed by an au-
capital stock OF 100000. The
man back of the deal is j. F. Ryan,
who bought the Hyde stock in the
Equitable Life short time since.
Creameries at a number of cities in
this state including practically all the
large ones, have been approached with
offers and there is strong Likelihood
that they will be bought up in a short
time. Wiley, the chief butter man for
Armour is to be the man at head Of the
concern. The company has already
been formed and the articles of incor-
poration filed in the state of New Jer-
sey.
oa
Grand Foreman William Koch of the
of American Yeomen has
the Rutledge and Gossage
contracts. This is perhaps the most
important move in the Yeomen fight
vet. While j. e. Paul as grand fore-
man was under fire and being inves-
tigated, he denied that he had made
the contracts which Koch now cancels.
It is quite likely that big lawsuit
will result from the action, but the
anti-Paul faction Of the order believes
that the amount saved to the order will
more than Offset the cost Of the suit.
and the possible damages. The cancel
alton of the contracts leaked out for
the first time today. While Paul was
Grand foreman it seems he made con-
tracts with Gossage and Rutledge
whereby they as deputies, should have
arge slices of territory in which to
collect the fees OF the Yeomen and
a solicit members. They were to take
charge of the territories and got
commission from every member who
Ioined the order. 1t was fat con-
.ract. and the Rut1edge contract had
.wo wears and the Gossage contract
seven years more to run. Whether or
not Gossage and Rutledge will sue for
he fulfllment of the terms of the
contract remains to be seen, but 1t is
,upnosed they will start suit at least.
Members of the Iowa National
luard are preparing to make an on

comes together next January and
nope to get everything they ask for,
,hich will include an enlarged appro-
