POLK COUNTY PRIMARIES a

Besides the Governor Only Two Ma

Des Moines, May 3.-(special)-The
result OF Tuesdays primaries in Polk
county, now that the smoke has clear
ed away was far from being the salts
factory affair that the Cummins people
had looked for. When it became ap-
parent that Governor Cummins had
carried the county his supporters gave
themselves over to expressions of JOY
and many of them seemed as highly
pleased as though Polk county had
been in the opposition column. Mag

nor by his friends and other remarks
OF a like nature were heard on every
side.
Today, however. 1t is different.
While governor Cunlnins carried the

votes, and swill have 90 delegates in
the convention. OF course, Governor
Cummins will take advantage of the
numerical superiority among the dele
gates and insist on solid delegation
to the state convention, for that is the
way he did when Sid Foster made
the fight against him in 1901 and Sc
cured a part of the county in the coun-
ty convention.
Defeat For cummins.
While it is not expected that Mr..
Perkins list of delegates will be in
creased by one from Polk, yet the re-
suit of the primary is really crushing
defeat for the Cummins machine in
Polk county. Aside from the governor
the machine pulled through only two
candidates. They are Senator War
rem Garst of Coon Rapids, for lieuten-
ant governor, and w. L. Eaton of
Usage, for railroad commissioner. The
machine failed to land Senator Hay
ward for secretary of state, Fred
Kretschmer of Dubuque for treasurer
OF state, or Eugene Buttles of Burling-
ton for railroad commissioner.
Out Of the 10000 and over votes cast
at the primary, Senator Hayward re-
ceived about 5000, Julian Richards
about the same number and Dan Hites.
Fhe present deputy secretary, who re-
sides in Polk county, secured close to
$500. The Cummins organs
declared all along that Senator HAY.
ward was the Cummins candidate for
secretary of state and classed Hites
and Richards as standpatters. Accept
Ing their statement on this score, it is
evident that in the matter of secretary
Of state the standpatters polled some
thing over $500 votes to less than
5000 for the progressive candidate.

Hartford, Conn.,, July 19.-Whisky
caused the first difference of opinion
yesterday between the scientists an l
members of the national food commits
sion at the conference here. 1t was the
topic of Professor James II. Shepard at
the afternoon session. The question )
to whether fusil oil was a poison, re-
CARELESS of quantity or quality. caused
an exhaustive discussion. George l..
Flanders, first assistant commissioner
of agriculture in New York state,
maintained that scientific men with
whom he had advised had stated that
the quantity and quality element would
have to be considered in deciding
whether the ingredients formed poi
son.
Among other things in his talk on
whisky Professor Shepard said that the
United States should be ashamed of it,

fourth class or artificial whisky apd
that IL it is to be made it ought to be

such brand of whisky alcohol and wa

There is only one way to cure deaf

tube is inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
re suit. and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition. hearing will be

Claim That Letter Was Stolen
From Attorneys Office En-
cites Judges Wrath
GIVEN NO CONSIDERATION
Court Declares That Evidence OBJ
tanned by Such Methods Will Not
Count in the case-sister Of Mrs.
Aartje Gives the Plaintiffs Attor-
neys Bad Hour.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 19-The most
case during the trial came during the
INSTRUMENTATION of Miss Ida B..
Scott, Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje's sister,
by Augustus Hartje's attorneys, when
new letter was produced in an at
tempt to show that Miss Scott had
been practicing to initiate her sisters
handwriting.
Attorney John M. Freeman, chief
counsel for Mrs. Hartje, leaped to his
feet and in excited tones declared the
letter had been stolen from his office.
Hartje's counsel declared that this let
ter, with other papers, had been found
in the street and brought to them.
Judge Robert S. Frazer at once COM
PEELED Hartje's counsel to deliver the
papers to Mr.. Freeman, and would adj
NIT no testimony as to how they were
obtained.
ANY papers stolen from an attor-
neys' office" said he, will have very
little influence on the court in this
case"
Prior to this Miss Scott had testi-
fed that she wrote exhibit No. "a, the
only envelope produced in evidence
with the forty famous letters. She
said she wrote it at the request of An
ME Lutz, a servant.
The defense introduced Thomas
Scott, relative of Mr.. Hartjes who
testified that he was the '1rom" to
whom Mrs. Hartje telephoned so often,
a. al ftce, Al t0Y,
who testified She was the Mary" to
whom Tom" Nadine telephoned from
Schulenburg's stable.
Miss Ida B. Scott, sister Of Mrs.
Hartje, the respondent, who was on the
stand when court adjourned, was again
called. The witness said that Mrs.
Hartje never wrote letters or telephon-
ed to Thomas Nadine, the co-respon-
dent.
Concerning the envelope known az
exhibit "a, Miss Scott said she had adj
dressed it for Annie Lutz, domestic,
This is the only envelope so far intro
duced in evidence, and is the one the
experts for Hartje said was in the re-
spondents handwriting.
Miss Scott was then shown the let.
tiers figuring in the case, and picked
out number Of missives as having
been written on stationery belonging
either to herself or one of her sisters
She said the maid, Annie Lutz, had
been given this kind of letter paper and
she wrote letters quite frequently. The
testimony caused sensation, and the
plaintiffs attorneys followed with
searching cross examination TO break
the effect.
John H. Weshons, who is now under
$4,000 bail on the charge of conspiring
with Augustus Hartie, the plaintiff, and
Clifford Hope, the negro coachman, to
defame the character of Mrs. Hartje,
announced that he will go on the stand
as a witness for the defense and ex-
plain his connection with the case
