WEATHER AND CROPS
Farming Operations in Iowa
Delayed by a General Ex-
cess of Rainfall
SEASON is LATE THIS YEAR
Some Progress in Seeding Oats, Spring
Wheat and Barley Has Been Made
on Well Drained Lands-outIook for
All Kinds of Fruit is Reported to be
Generally Favorable.

Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, April 17.-The regular
weather and crop bulletin for the week
ending April 16, issued by the Iowa
weather and crop service, follows:
The first half of the week was gener-
ally fair and seasonable, but the latter
part was showery and much colder,
ending with heavy frost. The average
temperature was about normal for the
state, but there was considerable ex-
cess of rainfall in all districts, causing
still further delay in farming opera
,tiOnS.
On well drained lands some progress
has been made in seeding oats, spring
wheat and barley, and considerable
grass lands have been turned prepara-
tory for planting; but for the state at
large the season Is late, and conditions
have been unfavorabie for field work.
Several days of sunshine and drying
winds are needed to put the soil in con-
dition for tillage and seeding. Grass in
old meadows and pastures has made
good start. The reports as to all
kinds of fruit are generally favorable.

of these laws are:
An increase in the maximum policv
from So 900 to $1,000.
An increase in the age limit at which
members can be insured from 30 to 81
years.
The creation of a new fifth class of

change from the old fraternal congress
to the American experiment table with
interest at 3l5 per cent.
There Will be an annual accounting ar
annual dividend policy, returning TO the
members at the end of each year all over
and above the cost of carrying the risk
and expense of management.
All policies under the new system be-
come incOntestable after three years.
Privilege IS given policy-hOlders in thu.
fourth class to transfer into the new fifth
class, taking the same amount without

CLAIMS OF POLICYHOLDERS
Court Asked to Take Action in Case
Of Defunct Traders Insur-
ance COMPANY.

Chicago. Oct. A.-ExpressiOns of discon-
tent with the manegemtn of the es-
tate of the Traders Insurance company
by the receivers appointed some months
ago are continued in an intervening pc
tit;on filed in the Cook county circuit
court today in behalf of 200 nonresident
poncyhOlders, whose claims against the
defunct company represent nearly $1,000, :
OGg. The petition charges that the re-
celVer for the insurance company has ad-
justed but few of the losses suffered by
the San Francisco earthquake and fire.
owing TO the fact that he "has been di-
rected and authorized to make every le-
gal objection possible
The court is told that before its fail
ure the insurance company carried on
business in California, and that it is
therefore governed by the laws of that
state which direct that stockholders in
such a corporation be made liable for
losses TO the extent of their stoe. sub
scriptions. The complainants ask that the
court enter an order fixing a time for
the filing of claims against the com
pany and that all assets of the Traders
insurance company be collected bv the
receiver, reduced to cash and distributed
among ali the creditors

HARTMAN BUYS
RAPID TRANSIT
Deal for Street Car System of
Ogden Reported to Be
Practically Closed.
ECCLES NEGOTIATED WITH
iNTERuRBAN LINES TO BE
ADDED.
ECCLES NEGOTIATED WITH
Especial to The Herald.1

Ogden, Oct A.-From an authentic
source 1t was learned today that F. H
Hartman IS negotiating with David Ec-
CleS OF this city for the purchase of the
Ogoen Rapid Transit company
IL is claimed that the deal has been
practically closed and that within the
week the system will pass into the con-
troll of Mr.. Hartman. The sale Just made
VIII include the line of the Ogden &
Northwestern, running from the city's
Limits north to the Ogden Hot Springs.
1t is expected that Mr.. Hartman will
add number of interUrban lines to the
system to reach the surrounding agricul-
tural country. The move on the part
or the Hartman interests is looked upon
as Shrewd one from the fact that the
sale will include the proposed line through
Ogoen canyon into Ogden valley. 1t has
been reported for some time that the
, western Pacific. after completing it's
present line TO San Francisco, will build
ucrth from Ogden over the canyon route
IL is believed that the acquiring of this
land by Mr.. Hartman would block the
Gould interests in such a move.

FORMER REBELS PACIFIED

Havana. Oct 2.-The statement made
by Secretary Taft, on the eve of his de-
parture from Cuba, that he would put ali
the arms surrendered by the insurgents
where they would do no further harm
was verified today when a company of
the cuban artillery spent the afternoon
throWlng.theSe weapons into the sea from
the outer bastion of MORO castle. Thou
sands OF rifles and carbines were sunk
in thirty fathoms of water
Some unrest continues to prevail in the
provinces of Puerto Principe and Santa
Clara, where small armed bands are row
ing and committing minor depredations.
The residents of Holguin requested pro
lection of troops against a considerable
body of former rebels who are reported
not to have disbanded, and a battalion
OF the Eleventh infantry reached Hol-
gum this afternoon. The mayor of the
town of Aguacate, in the province Of
Havana, who was ousted from office. was
restored to his position Tuesday and or
ganiZed and armed escort of twenty-five
men, alleging that he feared an attack by
the moderates. Governor Magoon to-
night ordered Governor Nunez to proceed
to Aguacate with troops.

SUFFRAGiSTS LOCKED UP
Women Who Created an Uproar in
House of Commons Determined
to Be Martyrs.

London, Oct. 24.-Ten women suf-
fragists who were arrested yesterday
for rioting within the precincts of the
house of commons were arraigned in
police court today and bound over to
keep the peace for six months. Such a
commonplace outcome of the affair did
not meet the views of the suffragists,
who apparently desired to assume the
roles of martyrs by being committed TO
jail, and when the magistrate an
nounced his decision a great uproar
broke out in the court room and ulti-
mately the women had to be removed
by force. Some of them were literally
thrown out among the crowds waiting
outside the building.
The Shrieking women continued to
make a demonstration outside the pO-
lice court until Miss Parkhurst, who
took a prominent part in the disturb
ances in the galleries of the house OF
commons in April, was again arrested.
Some of the women who had been
temporarily locked in an ante-room by
the police had a momentary revenge
They managed to secure a key and re-
leased themselves, but were again
locked in by their jailer, who walked
off with the key.
When the disturbances had some
what subsidized the police reassembled
the defendants. who were then informed
by the magistrate that they must i'm
mediately find sureties for their good
behavior or be imprisoned for two
months. The whole ten women refused
to enter into recogniZances and were re-
moved in custody. The suffra gists were
conveyed to Holloway jail

MOODY TO GO ON
SUPREME BENCH
Some Surprise Over the An
nouncement on Account of
Geographical Lines.

Washington Oct. 24.-While no Off
cial statement is obtainable, unofficial
advices confirm the report that the
president will appoint Attorney General
William II. Moody of Massachusetts to
the seat on the supreme bench made
vacant by the retirement of Associate
Justice Henry B. Brown.
The announced intention Of the presi-
dent to appoint Mr.. Moody to the SUI
preme bench came as a surprise, as it
was generally understood that he elm
mated the attorney general from con-
sideration in that connection because of
the fact mainly that Massachusetts al
ready had a representative on the
bench in the person of Associate JUS
tice Holmes.
Mr. Moody's nomination will be sent
to the senate when congress conyenes,
but the general expectation is that he
will not take his seat on the bench un-
til Jan. /, when, as previously an
nounced, he expects to retire from the
attorney generalShip.
