In reply to a question whether he
considered the Fort Dodge man
stronger than Shaw, Mr.. Mason said:
ooh, my, yes! Shaw has not the
popularity that Dolliver has. although
very brainy man. AS to Governor
Cummins, it is unlikely that his name
will be presented in the next presiden-
tial race"
The following is Mr.. Mason's cata-
logue of presidential possibilities:

WAIT FOR PETTUs' ToGA.
Senator in Declining Health.
Several on the Waiting List.

| BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July 13.-Much
| interest is felt in Alabama over the re-
! ton recently regarding the declining
health of Senator Edmund w. Pettus,
| who was SIS years old last week. Gen.
eral Pettus has been in poor health for
some time and recently, it is said, he
suffered partial stroke Of paralysis.
Members Of the Alabama delegation
returning from Washington are fearful
that the venerable senator will not
survive a long and hot summer. This
creates much interest for at a demo-
cratic primary to be held August q,
successors to both Senators Morgan
and Pettus are to be nominated, while
nominations Of two alternate sena-
tors" are to be named. The present
incumbents are unopposed, and if they
live, both will be renominated, but a
lively race is in progress for the honor
of going on the waiting list" as their
successors.
The candidates for alternate sena-
tors are former Governor Joseph w.
Johnstown, former Governor Oates,
Congressman j. H. Bankhead, former
Congressman J. F. Stallings, former
Congressman r. H. Clark, former At
torney General w. c. Fits and John B.
Knox.

Mrs. Doo|y and 7. K. kitt Say
0. R. 8 \. Is Jumping
Their Land
HUSTLE AROUND TO SEE an ATTORNEY
CRISIS CAME WHEN CREW TRIED
FENCE RIGHT OF WAY
YESTERDAY.

Mrs. j. Dolly and T. K. Issitt, own
ing property just west Of the city,
were greatly perturbed yesterday when
the o. R. & N company set force
of nearly 100 men at work fencing up
the company's right Of way which pas
ses through the Dolly and Isitt prop
erty. When she saw the crew at work
Mrs. Dolly gathered up her deeds and
visited an attorneys Office to see if
something could not be done to stop
the railroad company from fencing up
her land.
Mrs. Dooly called at the Statesman
office this morning and announced that
the railroad people were trying to rob
a poor lone woman. Il bought my
property from the railroad about seven
years ago and as 1 understand it, the
company only reserved the land over
which the tracks pass" Mrs. Dooly
said. "The company is fencing up my
land 100 feet on each side Of the track
and I want them stopped"
There is a controversy between the
o. r. & N and Mrs. Dooly as to the
width of the right of way" w. H.
Dunphy, Mrs. Dooly's attorney, said
this morning. Il haven't fully examined
the deeds yet and cannot say who is
right in the matter, Mrs. Dooly or the
o. R. & N I understood that the COM
pany did not intend to fence up the
land until tomorrow
Mrs. Dolly supparts herself and
children by conducting a dairy and her
little milk wagon is a familiar sight on
the streets every day as she drives
around town delivering milk to her pa
irons. She has a little tract of land
about three acres and she
claims that If the o. r. & N. fences up
what land it has started to it will de-
prive her Of about one third Of her
holdings.

PRESIDENT ELLIOTT COMING WEST
purnose of His Visit is Not Yet Known
Was Here About Two
Months Ago.

News dispatches from St. Paul yes
terday stated that Howard Elliott,
president of the Northern Pacific rail-
ways, is now on his way to the coast.
He is in Montana today.
The occasion of his visit is not
known. He was here but two months
ago. The visit is especially interesting
in view of the report-lately denied
of his resignation from the service of
the Hill roads and in view of the adj
ded intensity given to the fight with
Hartman by the construction of an
electric line on the old grade from Ia
coma to Portland. On the contrary,
Mr.. Elliott's. visit may be just the Or
binary one of inspection.

CLINT BuFfuM KNEW HARRY 1HAW
The Murderer Of Stanford White Was
Schoolnnate of Well Known
Walia WalIan.

Mr.. Clinton Buffum, an employee of
the City Mills, was playmate of Har-
ry Thaw, who murdered Stanford
White in New York City a few weeks
ago. Thaw and Buffum attended the
same school in Pittsburg and Mr.. Buff
fun says he remembers Thaw as a
strange boy, looked upon by his play
mates as being slightly demented, even
at that age. One day while at play
young Thaw picked up a rock and,
without any prOvOcatiOn whatever, hit
Buffum in the head, knocking him al
most senseless. Thaw, he says, ex-
pressed no regret over the act and did
not seem to think it out of the ordi-
nary.

SHOULD SERVE THE STATE.
Women's Federation Tells Us What to
Do With Our MiIIidnaires.

DENVER, July 13.-Mrs. Sarah Plat
Decker, president of the National Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs thrills the
hears of successful business men whom
Osler would retire or chloroform. Her
proposition is that when they reach
the age Of 40, wealthy men should be
made to fill offices of public trust
without pay. In an interview she
said:
"All you men of success who have
achieved fortune or even good, indie
pendent income, should cease your
money-making labors.
But do not cease all labor. You are
the communities ablest citizens. There
is a work, the highest, best and no.
blest, which needs you. Give your eff
forts to the ennoblement of mankind,
which you live. Become the governors
of the state, not for pay, success of
pOrations, but to do all the civic good
which your Office enables you to do
Become the mayors, the councilmen,
the supervisors, the responsible officials
of your cities. Serve without pay or
hope of emOlument, out of pure love of
humanity, only for the opportunity it
gives you to make your state better
your city a thing Of beauty, your civic
life pure and wholesome"
Mrs. Decker names a dozen success
full Denver millionaires who could if
they would, bring sunlight to the
much beclOuded atmosphere of Colo

MADE NO ATTEMPT TO BRIDE.
Jury indicates the Secretary, Who
Will Now Appeal to the
People.

MADISON, Wis, July IA more
infamous conspiracy was never formed
against any man." declared Walter L.
HOuser, secretary of state, after a
jury in the municipal court had re-
turned a verdict of not guilty, vindi-
eating him of the charge of bribery
preferred against him by Zeno NJ. Host,

The charge was that Houser offered
Host a campaign contribution Of $4,000
in exchange for a decision of the sur
plus distribution case in favor of the
Equitable Life Assurance society.
Evidence was given that Senator
James A. Frear, chairman Of the legis-
lative committee in investigating life
insurance, and rival candidate against
Houser for the republican nomination
for secretary Of state, was the one who
first, in consultation with Host, insti-
gated the exposure of the alleged at
tempt by Houser to bride Host.
Houser declares that he will remain
in the fight for nomination and seek
vindication at the hands of the people
in the September primary election.
Insurance Commissioner Host says
he is not disappointed by the verdict
Of not guilty, as he has never desired
to send Houser to the penitentiary, but
was compelled by subpoena to tell his
story and is complacent in the knowl-
edge that he has done his duty.
One of the strongest bits of evidence
in the case in favor Of Houser was the
testimony Of Attorney General Sturde-
want denying the statement of Host
that Host had told Sturdevant of an
to bride.
