Senator William B, Allison Ends Notable Career In
 Public Life
THRICE HE DECLINED
 CABINET PORTFOLIOS
Senator Allison Was Noted For Non- Partisan Position on Many Public Matters and Earned Title of
 Father of His Party.

Dubuque, la, August 4.-United home in this city this. afternoon.
 The immediate cause of his death was heart failure. The end came as re- suit of a serious sinking spell due to a prostatic enlargement, complicated with kidney disease, and during u period of unconsciousness which has lasted since Saturday afternoon.
 Two weeks ago the senator left his home in the city to escape the heat. He went to the home of Mrs. Fannie Stout, a friend of the family living on the Asburw road, few miles from town. For few days his condition seemed to improve. but he later began to grow worse. Medical advisers urged that an operation be performed to relieve the prostatic enlargement which was bringing his condition to d crisis.
 Saturday morning the senator was brought back home. Soon afterward he relapsed into a condition of semi consciousness. Except for brief periods of partial recovery, he remained in this condition until death came this aft ernoon.
 News of the serious illness of the aged senator was kept from the public as much as possible until his death came as a surprise to the thousands of friends residing in this city. Only the more intimate friends of the family were aware of his critical condition.
 No arrangements for the funeral have yet been made.

SOLDIERS WANTED
 FOR STRIKE ZONE

Chattanooga, Tenn, August At Camp Taft today there was a call made for volunteers from the Alabama militia for service in the strike zone. The entire First regiment, without hesitation, offered their services. It now seems probable that the entire force will get chance to do duty there, at least this seems to be the opinion of officers and men of the regi- ments encamped at Chickamauga.
 A number of mimic engagements took place among the Alabama troops at Camp Taft today. There were three sep arate engagements in each of which one battalion of the regiment was placed on the defense and the other two battalions assumed the offensive. The purpose of the maneuvers was primarily to teaclt | hsl men caution
 The engagement tomorrow is especially intended to instruct the officers in ac- curacy in map reading and transmission of field orders under fire.

 There is no question about New York state, which will give pluraiities of any where from 75,OOO to 100000 to Bryan. More than that, Erie county will go democratic by a large plurality. which will be the first time that county has gone democratic in a presidential elec- ton since 1892, when Cleveland carried 1t by plurality of 90.

MISSOURI PRIMARIES.
Returns Are Slow In the Democratic
 Races for Office.

St. Louis, August 4.-Returns from the state primary election held today are coming in slowly and at this hour Q0:l5 D. m). it is impossible to say who has been nominated for Congress or for gov- ernor by the democrats.
 Four candidates are in the field for the democratic gubernatorial nomination, and the indications are that ex-Congressman Cowherd of Kansas City has carried St. Louis and the larger towns in the eastern half of the state over David A. Ball. William H. Wallace and Henry F. Sta pie. Attorney General Herbert S. Had ley had no opposition for the republican nomination for governor.

fight may be harder proposition than some here think. He says that Lewis is a more aggressive man than Mitchell, and besides will naturally want to suc- ceed in a situation where Mitchell failed.
 Now tine fact that Lewis said in the arbitration fight in Birmingham that If ever the mantle of Mitchell fell on his sh houlders he, Lewis, would not be sat- isfed until he accomplished the con solidation of the Western Federation with the United Mine Workers of Amer ica goes to show that the Pennsylvania operator may be correct in his judg- ment. It must be borne in mind that the promises of the federation go fur ther than the United Mine Workers of America because 1t is really stronger.
 I merely cali attention to these sug- gestions in order that the thoughtful public may consider the same in it's efforts to arrive at an opinion as 70 how long this strike will last.
 This Western Federation of Miners. emisaries of which are said to be in this district today, is the same organ . ization whose president, in a public speech in Colorado. Is alleged to have used the following incendiary language. wit:
 Every union should have rife club. I certainly advise you to provide every member with the latest improved rifle, which can be obtained from the factory at a nominal cost. I intreat you to take action on this important question, so that in two years we can Ii ear the martial tread of 25,000 armed men in the ranks of labor"
 These be ominous sounds, and sh ou1d awaken the lawful authorities in this state to the importance of prompt ac- tion in putting out the sparks of ap- parent possible danger.

AIlison's Services.

Des Moines la, August 4.-Senator AL lison was born at Perry, O., March 2, 1929, the son of John and Mary Allison. His boyhood days he spent on the farm. which was his birthplace. Reaching young manhood he secured his education in Allegheny college, in Pennsylvania, and the Western Reserve college of Ohio. He was admitted to the bar in 1850.
 From 1850 until 1857 he practiced law in Ohio. In 1857 he removed to Dubuque, where he took up the practice of law.
 Senator Allison was a delegate to the republican state convention in 1859 and to the national republican convention in Chicago in 1860. He was member of the governors staff during the civil war and raised troops to fight for the integ rity of the nation in 1861. In 1863 he was elected to congress and served continu- ously until 1871 In 1873 he was elected United States senator from Iowa and represented his state in this capacity un- til the time of his death. 1'aee
 In 1881 he was offered the position of secretary of the treasury of the United States by President Garfield, but declined to accept the office. In 1889 he again re- fused this office, when offered him by President Harrison. For the third time he refused the office when 1t was offered him by President Mckinley in 1897. In 1892 he was chairman of the inter- national monetary conference at Brus- sells.
 He was candiate for the republican presidential nomination before the na- tional convention in 1888, and again m 1896

Father of His Party.

Washington, August 4-(Special.)- "If you don't count Allison there are 51 votes against us,' said the late Sem ator Morgan of Alabama, one day in discussion of the changes of the ratifi- cation of a minor treaty pending be- fore the Senate. T don't know how Allison will vote" added Gen. Morgan. .'He is just as likely to vote with us as not" In this particular instance Sen ator Allison voted against treaty which was rejected. The opposition was led by democrats the speeches against the treaty were made by demo : crats. Allison voted with them.
 Senator Allison served in the upper branch of Congress for 34 years and seven months to the day For sena- torial long service he broke all records, but more important still, he was non- partisan, senator of the United States rather than a senator for his state For a third of the nations history he has participated in the legislative body, twice has he been offered seat in the cabinet, declining each time to hold his place in the front ranks of the Senate, a main stay man who was consulted at every move on the legislative pro- gramme.
 had been without politics. On election day he would vote the republican ticket. His republicansm ended there. The other 364 days he dropped his politics and a claim presented by democrat to his ap- propriation committee received the same careful attention that would be accorded one emanating from republican sources. In his own state he was invincible. Cum mins, with an organization extending into every precinct of the state, has just been beaten by him, and Allison's only cam- paign was the mere announcement of his candidacy.
 If any other man in the United States was fairly entitled to be called a father of the republican party it is William Boyd Allison. His career is most re- markable in the annals of our public life.
 Thomas Bentons 30 years as senator from Missouri was the record until eclipsed by the Iowa senator. In addi- ton to this, he served eight years in the house. In all nearly 43 years of service ir congress. Allison entered public life when Lincoln was President. The civil war YVES just coming to an end. There were no railroads to the Pacific coast The population of the United States was only 34OO0,0 900. Since Allison first took his seat in the capitol 10 new staAs have been admitted to the union. There is no man in either branch of congress who was there when Allison arrived upon the scene; he survived all his conferes. No other member of the senate would be missed more than he. His loss Is na- tional. w. 5.

MARCON| IS OUTCOME
Two Other italians Solve In
dependent Wireless
TeIegraphy.
HAVE PICKED UP MESSAGES

Paris, Nov. 24-Bellini and Tosi, two
Italian scientists, who have been con-
Quoting experiments in wireless teleg-
raphy for the past Is months on the
coast of Normandy, announce that
they have solved the problem of indie
pendent wireless communication. This
result, they say, has been secured by
means of two rectangular aerials, fixed
at right angles and so attached to the
apparatus for reception and transmits
sion as to permit the transmission of
unequal currents. By a simple law of
mechanics these two electromagnetic
forces unite and produce an electro.
magnetic field and the Tertzian waves
are projected in single vertical plane
which can be alternated instantly by
means of the device.
The inventors say that they have
picked up messages at will from every
English wireless station and from
ships at sea.
