Des Moines, Dec. 5.-The Iowa I'M

opposed to adding another trust to the

to the association came out strongly
against having the association adopt a

engaged in building operations now,
and is wrestling with the price sched-
ule of the lumber trust, and he is op-
posed to it.
II cannot agree with Secretary

Des Moines Dec. 5.-Oregon, Mis-
souri,, ILL.,. Nebraska, Indiana, Wisconsin.
Louisiana, Michigan, California, Iowa,
represented in the city by noon with
one or more delegates to the senatorial
convention. Thirty or more delegates
were present aside from the full dele
cation from Iowa. Indiana also has
full delegation.
It developed early that strong sem
timent against calling constitutional
convention exists among the delegates
from other states, they agreeing with
Governor Larrabee that a constitu-
tional convention might have power to
open up the entire question Of the con-
stitution, including other questions as
well as the election of senators. Sem
timent favors congress proposing the
amendment, cayying for the election OF
senators by popular vote.
A reception will be given Thursday
night and banquet Friday night.
Governor Cummins, after welcoming
the delegates, said that the controversy
over the method of selecting United
States senators was started with the
first constitutional convention and
had been in progress ever since.
He declared that the methods Of se-
lecting the members of the lower
house had been settled right and for
that reason had never been questioned,
but that the methods of selecting mem-
bers df the upper house had been in
controversy ever since, because the
method was wrong In brief the goy-
ernor said:
Il do not question the wisdom Of the
acts of the members of that first con.
stitutional convention for it is mar
vel that they were able to agree at all
and give us such a masterful produce
ton. The decision on the method Of
selecting senators was concession to
two elements-frst, to those who were
in favor of government by states
rather than by the people, and second,
to those who did not trust the people
for government The reasons for the
method have long since passed away.
There Is no more sense in electing
United States senators by the legisla-
lures than there would be in proposing
to elect members of the house Of rep
resentatives by the legislature, or in
the proposal to elect legislators by
the supervisors Of the various coun-
ties.''
The governor closed by saying that
the purpose Of the present convention
is to bring the constitution within the
harmony Of the spirit of the times. He
did not consider or discuss the advis-
ability of any particular course for the
convention to follow.

Stand.

Chicago, Dec. 5.-The court room in
which the trial of Cornelius P. Shea,
charged with conspiracy, is being con-
Quoted was almost stormed today by
a crowd of men eager to impart evil
dence. A special detail of police were
necessary to control the throng.
| Albert Young, whose cross examine
ton was finished yesterday, was re-
called today and for nearly two hours
the attorneys argued regarding the ad-
instability Of certain questions, which
the state desired to ask him. The court
finally ruled against the state, and
Young was excused.
Joseph Schultz, who pleaded guilty
to the charges of conspiracy at the
same time as similar plea was made
by Young, was the first witness.
Schultz declared he was formerly a
member of the truck drivers union,
and acted as picket during the strike
in the vicinity of Montgomery Ward
& Co.
II was hired by Shea" the witness
declared, 'by request of Timothy Finn,
the saloonkeeper."
The witness declared he received in
structions from Finn, who told him not
to allow any wagons to deliver the
goods to Ward & Company. He was
told by Finn to "get busy" and that
he stopped about ten wagons in one
day. He mentioned the men now on
trial with Shea, as being among the
crowds around Wards store.
