Work on The Side
SOME OF THE THINGS A CONGRESSMAN
DOES TO EARN HIS MONEY

Washington, D. c., April 16.-(Spe-
ciaD professionally a matter arises
which illustrates ma striking way how
convenient it is to have Washington
crowd" and particularly an Iowa con-
cident occurred last week.
Along the latter part Of March a lit
tie 13-year-old German boy, Eugene
Fischer, by name, with a little United
States money rightly sewed in the
lining of his coat and bit of trunk
for baggage sailed from his native land
for great America, that Eldorado in
the eyes of swarming, crowded Eu-
rope. Eugene was alone but he had a
letter to a relative in Iowa, George
Bayer, a minister at Marengo. It had
been previously arranged that Eugene
should come to America and make his
home with the relative in Marengo and
he was provided with transportation
across the Atlantic and had money
sufficient to pay his fare from New
York to Merengo and ten dollars to
spare. He was not expected to avail
himself Of the dining cars.
Dawson Takes Hold.
Eugene arrived at Ellis Island last
week and with buoyant heart was
about to depart aboard the harbor
steamer for the great city whence he
would take train for Iowa when, as
he was passing in line he was met by
stern-faced officer who asked him
many questions. When it developed
that Eugene was alone and that he
had no relatives in the city and no
body was on hand to take custody of
him. he was Informed that he could
not land and according to law must
return to Germany on the next steam
er. The boy had letter of instruc-
tion, which he had carefully commit
ted to memory and finally prevailed
upon the officer to telegraph the sit.
uation to his relative, Rev. Bayer. at
Marengo. Rev. Bayer at once tele.
graphed Congressman Dawson the
facts and asked him to arrange, if
possible, for the landing of the little

ment OF the law, which declared that
he must be deported.
Unwinds Red Tape.
Congressman Dawson without mo-
ment's delay took the matter up with
immigration commissioner Sargent.
The commissioner listened to the
story Of the little German boy sitting
alone in Ellis Island and said it was
an unfortunate case but that accord
Ing to the rules he would have to be
deported. Dawson pressed the matter
and finally was informed by the com-
missioner that something might be
done by appealing from the decision
OF the immigration agents at New
York, in which event the papers would
have to be sent to Washington and then
it might be possible to do something.
Congressman Dawson wired the Off
GERS at Ellis Island that he desired to,
take an appeal In the case. Thereuponi
the papers were forwarded to Washf
ington and placed in the hands Of thet
secretary Of commerce and labor. MrJ
Dawson at once appeared before Sec7
rotary Metcalf and presented the,
facts in the case, with the result that
the ruling Of the Ellis Island oficialsI
was overruled and instructions were
wired to the agents Of the government
to permit the little German boy to prof.
coed to his destination and not only
that but to see that he was dispatched
on the right train with the proper
transportation and suitable provisions
to see him through tofowa. OF COURSE,
the funds sewed up in Eugene's coa-s
were ample to meet the requirement.
of the occasion and he is now safejs
with his relative, Rev. Bayer, at Mn
rengo. Il
However, but for the activity and IL
telligent efforts and influence Of Col
gresham Dawson the little Germar
boy, instead Of enjoying the delight
!, of his new home in Iowa, would at thi..
moment be aboard a steamship on TIL
broad Atlantic with his face set TOWARD
the fatherland.

The RATE QUESTION.
PROMINENT oTTUMWA WHOLE
SALE MAN GIVES VIEWS ON
IMPORTANT ISSUE
Major Samuel Mahon Discusses the
Two Phases Of the Railroad Cues
ton, National and State Regulation
or controI-cites Local History.

There seems to be great misappre-
hension, If not misunderstanding. on
the present position of the republican
party In Iowa in regard to- the railroad
rate question. There are two phases
to the railroad question, one being
state regulation or control and the
other that of national regulation or
control. This question, so far as the
state of Iowa is concerned, is wholly
a national question. The rate bill that
has recently been passed by the, lower
house Of congress and is now being
discussed in the senate of the United
States, was Loyalty and unanimously
supported by the entire Iowa delega-
ton in the lower house, and is being
loyalty. and strenuously supported by
our two senators in the upper house.
This rate bill before congress EN-.
powers the national Interstate COM
merce commission to supervise inter
state railway rates, and where, rate
Is found to be exorbitant or oppressive
1t gives them the power to name a
reasonable rate, hence the name of
the rate bill. There is no difference
OF sentiment in the republican party
OF the state of Iowa on the question of
this rate bill; the faction that now
seeks to divide the republican party
OF the state can claim no precedence
on this question; the whole republican
party of the state is in accord on it.
