NO CONFLICT WITH FUNSTON.
Mayor Schmitz TeIegraphs That Such Re-
ports Are presumably Malicious"

WASHINGTON, April 22.-The reports of
conflict of authority between Gen. Funston
and Mayor Schmitz are shown by the lat
ter's kilograms to Secretary Taft to be
utterly without foundation. Last night
Mayor Sahmltz telegraphed the Secretary:
FORT MASON, Cal, April 81. ,
Hon. ". II. Tdft, Washington, d. O.:
Report of conflict between Gen. Funston
and myself absolutely without foundation.
We are not only without difference, but are
cooperating in the utmost friendship and
harmony. Gen. Funston's excellent work,
his good Judgment and his zeal in our cause
by day and by night are appreciated by
the people of San Francisco in this hour
of great distress. The army and nation
are TO be congratulated on the possession
of such officers as Gen.. Funston.
E E. ScHMITz, Mayor OF San Francisco.
Lest there should be any doubt in the
minds of the War Department as TO the
relationship between the military and
the civil authority Mayor Schmitz again
wired Secretary Taft to-day as follows:
Fort MASON, Cal, April %.
Hon. W. II. Taft, Secretary OF Wor, Wash
ington, d. c..
Supplementing my telegram of yester-
day. / wish again, eYen in the midst of our
great troubles, to express my indignation
at the presumably malicious and decidedly
untruthful suggestion that a conflict eX-
lists between Gen. Funston and myself.
l wish TO emphasize the ~pleasantness and
harmony OF our relations and cooperation.
Z. E. ScHAITz, Mayor.

The Best Attraction Of the Season. "The
District Leader" Cominsto
the Grand.

Anyone who has followed present
day musical productions, is aware
that no one composer or producer has
given more real worthy snug hits and
operas to the theatre-going public
than has Joseph E. Howard. Not a
season has passed within the last six
years that Mr.. Howard's busy pen
has not contributed at least a half
dozen real hits. This sounds like an
absurdly small number, but in COM
parison to the floods of material that
rush in upon the publishers every
day, this is really remarkable per-
formance. Mr.. Howard's efforts are
not confined to single song hits, but
operas such as "The Umpire" Ellis
Highness the Bey. 1.-The Land of
Nod, Isle of Bong Bong" are from
the prolific pen of Mr.. Howard
1.-THE District Leader which he
wrote and produced at Wallack's
Theatre, New York, and in which
the author will appear in himself, is
no exception to his phenomenal sue
cesses, vouchsafed by the fact that he
will appear in ''The District Leader. I"
Miss Barrison Will head the cast.
Certainly this is "holding the mirror
up to NATURE Miss Barrison has
been identified with the greatest
musical production of the last five
years, aud such a combination of
talents has not been seen for many
seasons. Mr.. Howard and Miss Barri-
son will appear in 1.-The District
Leader" at the Grand Opera House on
Monday night, November 10th. Seats
now on sale.

A Few Words About Voting Machines.
Nordness, Iowa, Nov.

Nordness. Iowa, Nov. 8, 1905.
! see in some papers that they
advise the acceptance of the machines
on the ground that it might cost
several Thousand dollars to. get final
decision on the case. Please let me
give my view of the matter. The
Supreme Court says, ''The use of the
machines under the adoption thereof
bv the Board of Supervisors for trial,
the validity of which is not ques-
toned, can not possibly fasten upon
the county any contract which the
Board of Supervisors had no authority
to make, or did not, in fact, make
When the court says that the Board
of Supervisors had no right to bind
the county to keep the machines, nor
did not in turn make such contract,
it seems to me that no one could look
for any stronger words used in the
county,,s favor. The only thing the
court held for good was the use of
the voting machines for trial this fall.
The Board of Supervisors stands by
the decision of the Supreme Court,
enjoined from accepting them or
paying for them until that part of
the injunction is dissolved.
The District Court must comply
with the rulings of the Supreme
Court, and when the people do not
accept of the machines, they can
not be compelled to take them.
Now if we look a little ahead
into the future, we can see that we
are liable to get some boodlers here
after, and to withdraw from suit
that the Supreme Court apparently
has given the people the advantage.
would give the boodlers a great IN
centive to rule the county as they
are a mind to. They would say.
"Oh. the people will give in"
say. stick up for your rights even
| if it does cost something. 1t may
be the cheapest in the long run.
1t is said that the Voting Machine
Company is prepared to fight L
admit that it looks to me that the
Voting Machine Company has put a
price on their goods so they can paw
graft and expenses in law suits, and
when their opponents give in, they
will. after paying all expenses. still
be ahead in cash.
Even if the people should accept Of
them, they would be useless property,
as they are too small for our use
next time ard so would haye to be set
aside. and the old way used.

Arrangements for the excursions to
attend the dedication of Iowa monu-
ments on southern battlefelds are
now about complete, and the event
which is to take place between the
dates of November 10 and 90, promises
to be very largely attended by people
from this state.
The state, through it's. legislature,
has from time to time made generous
appropriations to be expended in the
erection of memorials, monum ents
and markers on a few of the many
battlefields of the civil war, where
Iowa troops were conspicuous. For
the prosecution of this work COM
missions were appointed by the gov
ernor and have now reported that
the monuments at Shiloh, Lookout
Mountain, Missionary Ridge, Ros-
Vile Gap and Andersonville are COM
pleted, as are also the brigade, regi-
mental and battery monuments at
Vicksburg, and that dates have been
agreed upon for the usual dedic atory
exercises to take place as follows:
Vicksburg. Miss. 80 p. M, Thurs
day, November 10.
Andersonville, Ga, 80 a. m. !,
Friday. November 16.
Lookout Mountain, 10 a. m., Mon
day. November 10.
Missionary Ridge, p. M, Monday
November 10.
Rossville Gap, 80 p M, Tuesday,
November 30.
Shiloh, Tenn, l 80 p. m., Fri.
day, November 90.
Perhaps the. most important and
impressive dedication will be that
at the National Military park at
vicksburg, where the state Of Iowa
has appropriated $3.50, 600 to be ex-
pended in the erection of state
memorial and such monuments as
would fittingly commemorate the
conspicuous part Iowa troops had in
the campaign and siege of Vicksburg.
For the prosecution of this work a
commission consisting Of nine vet
Grams: j. F. Merry. chairman. of
Manchester L. @. Blanchard. of
Oskaloosa: j. A. Fitchpatrick. of
Nevada; Elmer J. Q. Bealer, of

pointment of Attorney General
Moody as Justice of the supreme court
of the United States to succeed JUS

Previous to that time he had served
for more than two years as secretary
of the navy. He had also represented
his state in the Fifty fourth, Fifty

that Moody will retire from the de.

The apple crop in the United States
has just been estimated at 36, 100. 900
barrels. This is 1895, 900 barrels
more than the 1905 crop. The esti-
mated crop in New York state is
4, 900, 600 barrels, or larger by 200, OOO
barrels than the production in any
OTHER state. The estimated New
York crop equals the crops in Mary
land, Virginia, West Virginia, Ken.
tucky and Tennessee combined, and
IL equally distributed to the people
of the state would give half barrel
to each man, woman and child. Yet
the price of good apples is away up
in the air and for the price of halt
barrel the people are getting a half
bushel. and earlier reports said much
of the croD rot.ed on the ground.
