Americans Last Week in England Is
Crowded With Appointments.
London July S.-The final week OF
Mark Twain's stay in England is filled
with appointments. On Saturday he
will sail for home, loaded with honors
and attentions which admiring Eng
land has showered upon him.
Yesterday he dined with +. NJ. Bell,
assistant manager of the Times. To-
morrow he will take lunch at the house
Of commons as the guest of Sir Benja-
min Stone. Arthur Balfour will be a
fellow guest. This evening he will dine
with the staff Of Punch.
The joke about Mark lifting" the
Ascot cup has become such habit
here that when the story of the mys-
ter.ous theft of the Irish regalia be-
car1e known letters and kilograms
poured into Browns hotel asking Mark
what he had done with the jewels and
how he had managed to secure them.
Iii self-defense last night he issued
the following:
mark Twain has received g number
Of kilograms and letters from friends
and strangers asking what he knows
OF the whereabouts of the Irish re-
gal.ll. He has not replied to these in
quil.ies because he has been advised by
his lawyers it is best he should not
commit himself"

Chairman Of the Steel Corporations
Tells About Trade Reaction.
New York, July 9.-Ex-Judge e. n.
Gary, chairman Of the board of direc-
tors Of the United States Steel Cor
poration, who sails for Europe today,
talked about general business condi-
tions in this country. He made no at.
tempt to hide his belief in a general
business reaction during the next six
months or year, due to the expansion
of business heretofore beyond the
ability of the country and the business
community to finance 1t.
Judge Gary was asked what the
conditions were to which he attributed
business. He saida TO begin with
next year is a presidential election
year.
THE second point Is we have been
doing too much business for the
amount of money available to finance
our needs.
II have seen signs also IN the de-
crease Of building activity.
II think also another contributing
cause has been the investigation ex-
posure, and radical agitation we have
been thru the last year or two. These
influences had tendency to make in-
vestors timid and produce feeling Of
distrust."
But" Judge Gary was asked, "have
not the exposures Of financial corrup-
tion proved beneficial to the country"
''They will prove So" he replied.

Others Stand Ry


Others Stand BY.
Yellowstone Lake Yellowstone Bark,
Wyo., July 9.-Vice President Fair
banks risked his life here yesterday af-
ternoon to save girl from drowning,
and as a result is looked upon as a
hero
The vice president was sitting on the
veranda of the hotel talking with j. T.
Gibbs, the proprietor, when their at
tention was attracted by shrek from
the direction of the lake. They saw a
young woman struggling in the water
and two other women in a boat TOO
frightened to give any assistance. On
the pier stood two men. with mouths
agape, but making no effort to rescue
the young woman.
Pulling off his coat as he ran, the
vice president dashed down to the pier
and without hesitation leaped into the
water. In a moment ne had reached
the young won1ans side. One Of the
men on the pier. who had recovered
from his fright, also leaped into the
water and was a close second in reach
ing the young woman.
The vice president and the other
man succeeded in dragging the girl,
who had lost consciousness, to the
shore. Mr.. Fairbanks led in the work
of resuscitation until it was seen the
girl would recover and then, almost ex-
hausted, turned is charge over to 9TH
ers.
The girl was Miss Lena Waters, a
waitress in the hotel She had served
Mr.. Fairbanks luncheon. and had done
it so well that the vice president had
complimented Mr.. Gibbs on the ef-
ficency of his help.
Many person called to congratulate
Mr.. Fairbanks during the remainder of
his stay here. He left later for Seattle,
where he will deliver an address be-
fore the Christian Bndeavor conven-
ton.

tendance this morning.
By the state the Bradley incident is
iooked upon as one Of the most I'M
r,ortant features Of their case, In sup
r,ort Of the Orchard story. Defense
has all along maintained that the at
tempt to poison Bradley and HIS house,
hold and the explosion at the house
which Orchard says was caused by
tomb being placed by him are fabri-
cation. Orchard says he was commits
stoned by Haywood to go to San Fran
cisco and kill Bradley, who had been
consistent enemy OF organized labor.
He swore he first poisoned the milk
with arsenic, and failing In this placed
. bomb under Bradley's front door
mat with a string attached to the
dtpor handle.
It was, according to Orchard. one of
the bombs invented by Pettibone. At
the time given by Orchard an explo-
sion occurred at the Bradley house,
just as Bradley was coming out OF the
house smoking cigar. Bradley was
terribly mangled, but recovered and
the flont Of the house was badly dam
aged.
Shortly after the explosion the owner
Of the house sued the gas company for
damages and got judgment, because of
the escape of gas, which. 1t was
clsined, caused the explosion. Then
ca ne the Orchard confession and an
up peal was taken against the judg-
me MT. but the higher court sustained
thu. lower court. When the case
against Haywood came up commits
sion was appointed to go to San Fran
cisco to take depositions.
bradley still maintains his first posi-
tion that the explosion was caused by
gas, but he modified his positive claim
ami now says the theory of a bomb is
possible He does not deny the milk
was poisoned. All witnesses so far ex-
anined under dispositions have ad-
mitted that the main features OF Or
chard's account are within the bounds
Of possibility.
Ii is not likely Meyer will go on the
stand before tomorrow. His testimony
probably will take one day and on

they do a business amunting to nearly

fafture Of almost 50,ooO,0Oo pounds Of

They allege the rates charged them
by railroads on shipments of cream
are excessive and unreasonable and
that they are prevented from OBJ

of several Of the defendants who have
conspired to keep rates at their pres

asked to fix just and reasonable rates.

Special TO TimeS-Republican.
Des Moines, July 9.--'rhe office of
State Auditor b f. Carroll will within
a day or two announce the totals of
the assessment figures reported By the
county auditors. The last of the coun-
ties came in Saturday and as soon as
the report is published the figures Will
furnish food for thought for the unof-
lied Just following the session OF the
legislature when the legislature refused
to pass a law providing for an official
commission.
The wide variance in the reports OF
the various counties in the presonai
property assessment and the variance
that is so out of harmony with all rea-
son will be grounds for argument to
sustain bills abolishing the personal
property assessments entirely. The
next legislature will be told on hasis
of these figures that the farmer whose
personal property is out where every
assessor can see it is at a disadvantage
with the city man who covers his per-
sonal property up so that the assessor
and the tax ferrets cannot find 1t. Ine
legislature will be furnished positive
proof that in many of the counties OF
the state there are notorious tax uod-
gers and that the entire revenue laws
of the state should be rewritten.
There will be a revival of the propo-
sition to abolish personal property tax
alton. a revival of the proposition tc
abolish the state tax and to provide
that the state shall have all the rail-
road assessment and raise Its further
revenues from the taxation OF corpora
lions doing state business. 1t will be
argued that there would then be no IN
centive for one county to make Its as
sessment low In the hope of escaping
part of it's share of the state tax for
the county tax will be entirely separate
and the counties will not be taxed tor
the support of the state government.
The question of raising the county rev.
enue will be confined to the county and
1t will then see to 1t that within Its own
borders the tax is equitably distributed
and the value it puts on property viii
be of little consequence os that 1t Is
evenly distributed.
The figures reported to the state
auditor on the two matters OF monies
and credits form an interesting study

The state Of Iowa did not appear to-
day in the 2-cent fare injunction case
in the federal court. 1t is not the IN
tention of the authorities Of the state
to give the case standing in court by
appearing to make the state a party
to the proceedings.
In the judgment Of the representa-
tives of the state, the case has no
standing in court until the state makes
itself a party thereto Under this be-
lief no appearance will be made.
This does not mean that the court
will not be advised as to the view OF
the public authorities in regard to the
controversy. This can be done without
involving the rights Of the people,
thru response to the invitation which
issued from the federal court to Gov
ernor Cummins and Attorney General
Byers to appear either as intervenors
on behalf of the state OF, as friends OF
the court.
While no official appearance will be
made, Attorney General Byers was
present as a citizen Of the state and
as an attorney. The form of the reply
which the state authorities will make
to the suggestion that they join them
selves in the lawsuit was not determ-
ined last night 1t goes without say
ing, however, that in addition to his
own perception Of the situation, judge
Mcpherson will be aided by compre-
hensive statement by the state author
tiles as to the reasons that they cam
not undertake at this time to give such
a suit standing in the court and make
possible what otherwise they regard
as impossible-any attack on the law.
1t is the contention of the state, in
other words, that the 2-cent fare law
cannot be attacked by the railroads.
The state cannot be sued. The suit
that is pending in the federal court IS
brought by a stakeholder of corpora
ton to prevent the corporation from
obeying the law. Ii is contended at the
state house that such a suit can have
no standing in court. Railroad attor-
neys. themselves have inclined to
think that the appearance Of colusion
cannot be escaped whether there is coll
lusion or not. In this case collusion is
not charged. but if the railroads were
to default in the suit the appearance
could hardly be avoided.
In Nebra ska the 2-cent fare law
gives the railroad commission power to
put it in torca. This gives the satl.
