KRETSCHMER OUT OF THE RACE
Unwilling to Assist in the Pro-
posed Defeat of Senator
Allison.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, May A.-(Special.)
The withdrawal of Fred n. Kretschmer
from the race as a candidate for the re-
publican nomination for state treasures,
which was announced tonight. Is one OF the
most important items of political news of
the present campaign in Iowa.
Mr.. Kretschmer, who Is the republican
county treasurer OF Dubuque county. cap
tured the county convention and secured
the delegation to the state convention to
use as he saw At in the furtherance of his
own eandidacys Since that time the Cum
Minis managers have beer. claiming that he
would name a list Of delegates who would
be solidly for Cummins and they at once
proceeded to put the twenty-six votes from
Dubuque county in their list For some
days however, the conviction has been
forced in on the friends of Senator Allison
that the denomination of Governor Cum
Minis for a third term as governor meant
that he would be a candidate for United
States senator and as he rlade the public
statement at the opening Of his campaign
that he should not in any way antagonize
the reelection of Senator Dolliver, II was
plain that he would be a candidate against
Senator Allison.
This put a new phase on the candida y

-Allison's home town. After carefully con-
sidering the situation, Mr.. Kretschmer has
come to the conclusion that In the interest
of Senator Allison he was willing to with
draw 50 that the county could act in the
state convention in the best manner to pro-
tect the interests of the senior senator II
is believed that In this way harmony may
be reached in the district and the votes
! OF Dubuque county probably will not be
used TO aid in the denomination of a candi-
date for governor who is known to be a
candidate for United States senator. Mr..
Kretschmer's statement. which was given
out tonight is as follows:

given careful consideration to the present

George Thomas, a New York freight broker,
on the charge of conspiranys1in Relating
railroad rates. The Omaha jobbers are said
to have received rebates from the Burling-
ton road through Thomas.
F. p. Kirkendan, the Omaha wholesale
shoe manufacturer, was on the witness
stand Wednesday, the substance of his
testimony being that he had paid Thomas
$500 a year to look after his freight ship
ments, and that several times he had re-
ceived money from Thomas. He returned
to Omaha Thursday morning.
II was lucky in getting away after one
day." said Mr.. Kirkendall They knew
would not be OF much valHe. since all the
contracts had with Thomas have been de-
stroyed, and no record was kept OF any
transactions with him. For that reason
they allowed me to go on the stand early
and get away.
Il employed Thomas for three or four
years to handle my freight business because
he was a freight expert and could save
money for me by his knowledge OF railroad
affairs. Several times he gave me money,
but 1 do not know where II came from.
ut is my opinion that no case can be
made out against the jobbers. Thomas
handled the business Of all OF them to the
best advantage. and IL the money he gave
back to them was in the nature of rebates
from the railroads, they do not know 1t.
