KNOX ASSAILS FUSION

A COMPARISON WITH BRYAN
Answers Charge that Roosevelt Is "A
Feeble ImitatOr of the Aebraskan
by Pointing to Great Achievements
of the Presfdent-ReaI Aims of the
FusiOnists-CanaI and Coal Strike.

Pittsburg, Pa. Oct Ex-senator Knox
was the principal speaker here tonight.
Previous 10 the meeting which the Sena-
tor addressed a big street demonstration
was INDUCED. during which red fire ana
Roman candles galore contributed their
share to the excitement
The Senator was escorted from his hotel
by a monster parade. He championed the
cause of the Republican State ticket on
the hard fight being made on it this year,
saying in part:
The President and His Policies.
However the case may be In other
States, the line of cleavage in Pennsyl-
vanla is the President his policies. and
his success and intelligent and honest
purpose in working them out. Pennsyl-
vania is invited now to reverse its mo-
mentOus verdict Of approval of the Pres
ident's administration two years ago
when challenged in national campaign
for the same reasons now advanced.
while the Lincoln-Democratic fusion
makes substantially one party so far as
national issues are concerned, yet | am
willing TO discuss the case on their own
theory. namely. that the Lincoln party
demand is solely to defeat the Republic
can State ticket because IT is the regu-
lar Republican ticket, and that the de-
mand OF the Democracy to defeat the
Republican State ticket because Roose-
welt is a feeble and pretended imitatOr
of Bryan is wholly a Democratic propO-
sition.
I viii discuss these propositions in the
reverse order of their statement. First.
then. is President Roosevelt a feeble and
pretended imitator Of Dir. Bryan?
Canal and Coal Strike.
What about the Panama Canal. the Pa
cific Gable. the settlement Of the great
anthracite strike, the pacificatiOn OF
Japan and Russia. and the many other
notable achievements Of the administra-
ton?
Were not these prominent matters, and
is not tho country 10 be congratulated
upon their successful issue2
Were these great national and inter
national problems 70 which I have alIud-
ed solved by feeble and pretended APP
plication of the principles euunciated by
Bryan?"
If the true meaning Of the Democratic
declaration is that the administration has
attained no prominence except where its
successful acts touch and affect matters
about which AIr. Bryan has vaguely dis
c6ursed, we welcome an examination Of
that claim"
Dir, knox then reviewed the course Of
the administration with regard to cOrpor-
atoms and the events which led to the
enactment OF the railroad rate law.

FOUR DIE IN PANIC.

Chicago, April 15.-During a PAM,
which followed a cry of fire" last
night while 400 persons were partici-
pating in the Easter eve services in
ST. Ludmilla's homan Catholic church,
Twenty-fourth and Albany avenue,
three children and one woman were
killed and a score of other persons
were injured, several seriously.
The majority of the worshippers in
the church at the time the false
alarm of fire was given were women
and children and in a few minutes all
were in tangled mass fighting to
escape from the supposed danger.
Many persons jumped through the
windows, but the greater portion
crowded to the central aisle. The
extra weight proved too much for the
floor and some of the beams support
ing it broke. The cracking of the
timbers increased the fright of the
now terrified women and children
and every one in the place became
panic stricken; men, women and
children fighting desperately with
each other in an effort to reach the
outside. The women and children
suffered most in the struggle and
when the church was finally emptied
three children were lying dead in the
aisles and one woman was so badly
hurt that she died while being re-
moved to the hospital.

CONSERVATIVES
MUST TILL The SOIL

Des Moines, April 13.-The state
board of control is looking for a
stretch of tie best farm land in
Iowa as location for the new state
hospital for the treatment of tuber.
culosis. The board, In conference
with physicians, has decided that
patients sent to the hospital, who are
able, will be expected to work in the
open air. Mr.. Cownie, for many
years a farmer himself, and his asso-
,ciates on the board, believe there 10
no exercise so beneficial as farming
and gardening. So consumptive pa
tients will be given work with the
hoe, rake and pillow, and this open
air life is expected to accomplish
fully half of the results to be attained
by the treatment at the sanitarium.
; A great many offers of land for
sale nave been coming in to the board
Of control, but few of the proposed
sites meet the requirements. The
board wants to purchase not less than
100 acres of rich farming land, with
groves for the protection of tents
and for shade, and an abundance of
good water, and hopes to secure a
site with good transportation facili-
ties

SIOUX CITY HAS
A BIG SENSATION

THRIFT is PUZZLED
OVER new LAW

Des Moines, April 14.-Adjutant
General w. III. Thrift has referred to
Attorney General Mullen the new
national guard law for an interpreta-
ton of some of its clauses. 1t is the
opinion of Adjutant General Thrift
that the surgeons of the guard have
been legislaIed out of office, and
some other Offices may have been af-
fected in the same manner AS the
bill was Originally drawn it wou.4
have caused no complications, but 1t
was amended in tie committees or
the house and senate ald compll-
cation is now apparent.
The surgeons Of the guard were or
iginally appointed from the state at
large and ass gned 10 particular regl-
ments. The law as enacted provides
that there shall now be one major
surgeon and two assistants appointed
by the reg5mental commanders, to
serve particularly for that regiment.
Gen. Thrift beueves that under this
section the Iowa National guard is
now without any surgeons and that
the commander of the regiments are
free to appoint anyone they choose,
either the present incumbents or
other physicians.
The Importance Ct the matter is ap-
parent when 1t Is realized tnat If war
were to be declared tomorrow the
Iowa National guard would be entirely
without a medical corps. There are
some other provisions of the bill, too,
which need the assistance of legal
interpreter.

PEACE NOW HOVERS
IN ZION CITY

Chicago, April 14.-Peace hovers
over the warning factions that are en-
deavoring to gain control of Zion City.
This statement was authorized by the
legal advisors of both Mr.. Dowie and
General Overscer Voliva. Voliva's
lawyers said:
"Dowie and his advisers admitted
today that we have in our possession
documentary evidence to the effect
that Dowie and his advisers admit
that the first apostle has admitted
that 95 per cent of the property be-
longs to the Christian Catholic church,
and he has furthermore acquiesced in
the proposition that If he is given B
per cent of this property, after he has
been installed in temporary control,
both ecclesiastical and financial, he
will retire. In other words, Dowie
desires to be indicated, reinstalled
with the full powers attending the
first apostlesnlp of the Christian Cath
ulic church, whereupon he will issue an
edict declaring that 95 per cent of the
property of Zion City belongs to the
church and that per cent belongs to
him (Dowie). According to conserv-
alive estimates given out by the two
factions this would give to Dowie
s1,000,000 and to the church $19,000.-

POLITICIANS AND SALOON
men INVOLVED ~ ROW

Council Bluffs, April 13.--The bit
terness of defeat has ranked in the
breast of c. H. Huber, late demo
cratic candidate for alderman-at-large
until it led him to file a saloon in
junction suit against Bert Larsen,
proprietor of well known bar, to re-
imburse himself for campaign activity
he attributes to the latter in swing
ing the Danish vote of the city against
Huber. The unsuccessful nominee
now demands as a condition of dis
missing the suit tnat Larsen pay him
$500 which he spent in his efforts to
be elected.
AS a counter move. Larsen has Med
an injunction proceeding under the
mulct law against saloon owned by
Edward Sherlock, whom he accuses
of being responsible for Huber's suit.
Sherlock denies this. AS the situa-
ton stands, a saloon war is in pros
pect, which may ilvolve other deal
ers. Attorneys have the matter la
hand and are doing what they can to
smooth it ever. Larsen AYERS that
he will not pay campaign expenses
for Huber or anyone else, and that
if his business is to be closed up he
will see that Sherlock gets similar
treatment.

Gang of Criminals Stampede
Citizens of Valley
Junction
WOMAN'S NERVE STOPS THEM
Three Holdup Men Captured after
Desperate Fight-Bad Crowd Es-
tablish Themselves In Cabin near
Town-Are Driven Out by Posse.

Des Moines, April 16.-After a
reign of outlawry and disorder last
ing nearly the entire day, during
which men were held up on the
streets, prominent saloons entered
and held up by members of a gang
of u.,een desperauCcs who had estab-
lished themselves in a cabin near the
edge of town, Valley Junction on
Saturday night shook off the reign OF
terror and landed three desperate
criminals, all members OF the gang,
in prison.
The day was one which filed the
town with excitement. Strange men
with revoivers stalked through the
streets and reports of attempted hold
ups were giving rise to the excite
ment which eliminated at night. IL
was then broken by a woman with
nerve holding a revolver to the head
of one of the holdup men. Public in
dignation caused the arrest of the
crowd and the driving of the re-nalm-
der out of the city by posse formed
for that purpose.
After lining twelve men up against
the wall with their hands in the air
at o'clock in John Fairgraves' sa-
loon, Henry Olsen and James Dortie,
two of the gang, were captured
through the nerve Of Frank Woods, a
coal miner, and Mrs. Fairgraves, wife
of the proprietor, who disarmed one
man while others in the room cap
tured the second.
George Allen, another member OF
the gang, was arrested by City Mar
shall w. A. Lewis, after he had held
up John Galloway, an engineer, in
broad daylight on one OF the resi-
dence streets of the town. Other
members of the gang found security
in a camp established three-quarters
of a mile south of town, where they
have made their headquarters for sew
eral days, and where the authority
of the town offices does not extend.
The two men arrested in Fair
graves saloon were found to be two
of the four who attempted to hold up
James Clark, the barkeeper at Ed
Wagners saloon at o'clock on Sat
urday morning. Those four were
driven from the building with shot
gun in Clark's hands, and the re-
naming two are not yet in custody.

ROCK ISLAND ROAD
is MAKING new SURVEYS

Des Moines, april 16.-The Rock
Island road has revived the proposal
to build line either from Dies Moines
or Valley Junction to connect up with
it's Sibley branch at Gowrie, with
which it was deprived of connec-
ton except over the tracks of an
other company when the Minneapolis
& st. Louis road acquired the Fort
Dodge road.
1t is stated that surveys for the
proposed link will be made during the
next thirty days, and that If salts
factory route can be secured through
a territory that promises business to
the road from intermediate points,
the road will be butt this season.
Two routes are under considera-
ton. One is to be an extension of
the branch leaving the main line at
Four Mile and following the Four
Nile bottoms north to the Maple
block and other coal mines. 1t is
intended to run this line north
through the Berwick and Douglas
township coal fields, crossing the Mil
waukee road near Huxley and then
veering to the northwest, crossing
the Des Moines river at or near
Boone and running directly to Cow
RE. The other route under consid-
Grafton leaves the main line about
a mile east of Valley Junction and
follows the Walnut creek bottoms out
on an easy grade to the divide be.
tween the Walnut and Beaver creeks,
from whence it is proposed to run
to Woodward and Ogden and thence
northwesterly into Gowrie.
The probabilities are that some
more work will be done on the sur.
vey of the proposed extension of the
Guthrie Center branch into Sioux
City, though there is little prospect
that any construction work will be
done on this branch for a couple of
years to come.

Toxic, April 16.-One hundred and
nine persons are known to have been
killed and Twenty-Five injured in the
earthquake in the southern part OF
the island of Formosa last Saturday,
but further details, it is expected, will
swell the death roll, as the shock was
more severe than that of March II.
The town of kagi again was the prin
cipal sufferer, the houses which es.
capped destruction in the former dis
turbance being now in ruins. Doko
and several other towns and villages
also were affected by landslides, which
have completely changed the topog-
raphy of the country. The officials
are working feverishly to relieve the
thousands of persons left homeless by
the earthquake. ."
Terrible scenes are reported around
Kagi and Doko.
Later reports from Formosa confirm
the earlier rumors of the complete
destruction of Kagi wnere seven per-
sons were killed and thirty-fve in
jured. At Daigo 400 buildings were
destroyed and at Ajensui 1,191 build
ings collapsed and TAO were damaged
and three persons were killed and tif-
teen injured.
These latter advices say that this
shock was more powerful than that
of March II, but as the people mad
been warned they were able to escape.
