Mems Garments Shaped to tho Figure

To the eye Of the artist the gar.
ments of the modern man are only
tolerable when age has adapted them
somewhat to the lines of the figure;
to the average artist a new suit OF
clothes is an abomination.
1T is not only that new. clothes are
more ugly than DID," said a knight OF

ton; ITO my mind no one can be prop
erly easy or graceful in them.

gathering some time ago, and for
some reason everybody had donned

of intimate friend ship, but somehow
the clothes brought in an element Of
GOODNESS and formality. We all felt
it-even the women, although, Of
course, the fair sex are not easily per-
suaded of the merits of well-worn gar
ments. But no man who has discov-
cred the ease and comfort of them
will readily give them up. AS for the

While it is not the purpose Of the
United States government, for the
present at least, to do anything which
could actually be construed as inter
vening in Cuba, it is nevertheless, re-
garded as a fact that the action of
the government in sending force of
marines to Havana will be used by the

To Protect American interests.
The statement is emphasized by Of
ficials here that the landing of ma
rines from United States warships
will be merely for the purpose of af-
fording protection to American lives
and property when it becomes APP
parent, as 1t did to Commander Col
we'll of the cruiser Denver, that the
Cuban government is unable to af-
ford the required protection. While
such admission is a confession of
weakness on the part of the Cuban
government, it will nevertheless,
doubtless have the effect at least of
deferring an attack upon Havana.
No Criticism for coIweII.
There is no disposition to criticise
the action of Commander Colwell in
landing a force in Havana. He acted
under the broad instruction given
him by the navy department to use
his best judgment in an emergency.
The American sailors were landed
after a consultation with Jacob Sleep
err, the United States charge in Ha-
vana, and President Palma, who, &C
cording to Commander Colwells dis
patch to the navy department, ex-
pressed grave doubts as to the ability
of the Cuban government to protect
American interests.

SENDS TAFT TO INVESTIGATE
STATUS OF AFFAIRS in CUBA
President Dispatches Secretary of War
to Ascertain Conditions in the Island
and Land Men if Necessary to
Protect Americans.

Roosevelt, who has been keeping his
hand at the helm in the Cuban mat,
ter, called Secretary of War Taft from
his vacation, and summoned Secretary
of the Navy Bonaparte and Acting
Secretary of State Bacon to Oyster
Bay for a conference.
Will Hasten Peace.
Washington.-The presidents deci-
sion to send Secretary Taft and AS
sistant Secretary of State Bacon to
Cuba was not unexpected, although
official and diplomatic circles recog-
nize in it move calculated to hasten
the solution of the problem.
The real object of Secretary Taft's
mission to Cuba, of course, cannot be
explained by anyone in Washington.
In official circles, however, the belief
is expressed that President Roosevelt
desires to secure from absolutely de-
pendable sources information that will
establish clearly the fact that Presi-
dent Palma either does or does not
in his administration represent a ma
jority of Cuban people.
Duties of Emissaries.
1t is believed that it will be for Sec
rotary Taft and Acting Secretary Ba-

whether, in their opinion, the best
interests Of the island are represented
by the revolutionary forces or wheth-

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 15.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt Friday night addressed
to the Cuban people what practically
is an ultimatum.
He declared that permanent peace
must at once be arranged in the island
or else the United States will inter
vene by armed force under the author
ity Of the Plat amendment.
This was its obvious and clear cut
intent of letter automatically ad-
dressed to Senior Quesada, the Cuban
minister, who is now in Lisbon, but
which, the president in the body of the
letter states, really is intended for the
Cuban government and the Cuban
people. In accordance with this spe,
cific purpose the president says. has
directed the letters immediate pub,
lication."
Order Must Be Maintained.
President Roosevelt declares in this
letter that the present Cuban govern,
ment, by it's own acts and admissions
has proven itself incapable of main.
tanning order throughout the island. 1t
has failed to protect the lives and
property either of its own citizens or
foreign residents of the islands.
This condition of anarchy, the presi,
dent insists, must end. The present
civil war must cease and arrange
ments be made for an immediate and
permanent peace.

peace may be made the president is

Beds Of Rivers Free to All.

Who owns the sand that lies under
the water in the bed Of the river
That Is the question called to the
attention Of the state authorities by T.
M. McFadden OF Oskaloosa. The at.
taches of the Offices Of the secretary
of state and the attorney general have
been reading the law books diligently
for several days to find an adequate
answer to the inquiry.
1t was given UP as hopeless. That
the river beds belong to the people
that is the state-is even doubtful
But that the state is trustee and Gus.
todian OF the river beds that are still
in use by the water Is certain. After
the water abandons the channel Of a
river, the statute gives the state full
title to the abandoned bed. It'can sell
the bed in that case. But while the
water is using the bed the state can
neither sell nor lease the ground,
earth, sand or minerals which lie I'M
der the water.
At least that is the present view at
the state house. A letter to that effect
has been sent to the Oskaloosa attor-
ney. He Will so advise his client.

to the attention of the Cuban govern
ment with the result that the desired
protection be extended. Now the,
point has been reached where the
Cuban government admits its inability
to protect these interests, and the
United States government is itself
preparing to give that protection, and
for that reason is sending force of
men to Cuba. They will be prepared
to land If they are needed.

events in Havana. The Cuban charge
in Washington, Senior Pardo, was
much perturbed because of his failure
to receive any advices from his gov
eminent. He knew nothing except
what he read in the newspapers and
was told by Acting Secretary Of State
Adee, upon whom he made several
calls.

Oppose Change In Rates.

Des Moines.-The Fraternal Con-
gress of Iowa voted unanimously to
resist the efforts of the insurance leg
islative commission and tho legisla-
ture of next winter to effect the pas
sage of statutes regulative of the rates
OF insurance charged by fraternal So
cieties.
E. b. Evans of Des Moines offered a
resolution instructing the legislative
committee of the congress to support
legislation which would prohibit the
organization in the future OF frater
nal societies not baseu ON adequate
rates, and to urge legislation requir.
Ing existing societies, within a certain
period, to transfer their business to a
minimum rate 20 per cent under the
American experience tables.
w. +. Koch of Des Moines instantly
offered substitute instructlng the
legislative committee TO oppose and
defeat any legislation affecting the
rates of fraternals.
When the question came to a vote
after ample discussion, the voice for the
Koch substitute was so vigorous that
the friends Of legislation along this
line maintained silence, so that, to all
intents and purposes, the action was
unanimous.
The Koch resolution, as adopted, fol
lows:
Whereas. the recent conventions
OF the National Fraternal congress
and the Associated FraternNies OF
OF America both deemed 1t wise that
legislation in the various state legisla-
lures, with reference to fraternal So
cieties, should be opposed:
Therefore, be it resolved, by the
Iowa Fraternal Congress, that our leg
islative committee be instructed to op'
pose any legislation, which would af.
feet the fraternal system.
Especially would it be unwise, nj
this time, when there Is n national
movement looking toward the uniflca.
tion Of the fraternal system, to have
any legislation enacted which might
work great detriment to fraternal So
cieties and their thousands Of mem
bers in this state"
The discussion OF adequate rates
was the absorbing topic of the meet.

$26,598,215 Now In Banks.

Statements for the eighteen Des
Moines banks rendered In response TO
the recent call of the auditor show
total deposits at this time amounting
to $25 1893, 215.41, and loans amounting
to $21 ,169, 972.26. This is the largest
sum on deposit in the history of Des
MoineS.
The deposits exceed those for the
corresponding call in 1905 by 1884
s65.85 and the loans are in excess OF
The total amount at that time by ST.
930,244.17. The total deposits at that
time amounted to $22,763, $40 Sc
and the total loans to SIS ,439, 728.09.
At the time of the general cali IN
January of this year the total deposits
amounted to $22,963, 585.22 and the to-.
tai loans $19,5S0,4 1854. Thus 1t is
shown that the increase in deposits
during the year thus far has been re-
markable.
The condition OF the Des Moines
banks is considered especially credit
able, in view of the fact that the de-
mand for money is increasing and in
the east the deposits as a rule in the
big banks are not so heavy as they
have been. In the east, interest rates
are advanced and the loans are heavy.
This Is due to the demand for money
to carry on the tremendous business
which Is general throughout the coun-
try at this time rather than to any
scarcity.

Iowa Rich In Automobiles.

That Iowa is growing richer or that
automobiles are becoming more neces-
sary Is shown from the books In the
Office of the secretary of state. The
law requiring automobiles to register
with the secretary or state was en-.
acted by the thirtieth General Assem-
bly, in 1904 and went into effect In
July of that year. From that time UP
to the first OF September 1905, there
were 1850 automobiles registered with
the secretary Of state a part of which
had no doubt been In the state for
some time. The first OF September
this year there were 1865 registered
and the zoos that have been register
ed during the last twelve months
have no doubt been all new automo-
biles that have come into the state.
This is one automobile to about every
5000 persons in the state which
shows that the state Is not yet over
burdened with the machines.
