NEW YORK HELD.
Hard Fight Takes Place Between Taft
Supporters and the Governors
Friends,

New York, Apr. 13.-The assembling
OF the Republican state convention at
Carnegie hall Saturday was attended
with great interest, as the program

templated the adoption of resolutions
strongly commencing the administers
tion of President Roosevelt and the
p. Hughes and instructing the four
delegates-at-large and their alternates
to use every honorable means to bring
about the nomination of Gov. Hughes
for the presidency.
Before the convention opened 1t was
generally accepted that the delegates.
at-large agreed upon by the state COM
mittee would be Gen. Stewart l..
Woodford, Seth Low, Frederick r.
Hazard of Syracuse and Edward H.
Butler of Buffalo. Some opposition had
developed to the personnel of this dele
cation by the Hughes league, but this
had been cleared away at the league
meeting last night when it was de-
cided ito leave the whole matter of
suggestions in reference to the Sc
lection of delegates-at-large to the ma
tional convention in the hands of the
Republican organization" The plat
form as tentatively drawn deals almost
wholly with national affairs and de-
clares for revision of the tariff to
meet existing economic conditions.

New York, Apr. 11.-Thomas +.
Ryan Thursday threw cold water on
the recently published story to the eff
feet that he had testified before spe-
cial grand jury that 100000 Of Met.
ropolitan Street railway money, osten-
sibly used for the purchase OF the
Wall and Cortland street ferries line,
had gone into political campaign
fund. Mr.. Ryan was witness in the
Harlem municipal court In damage
suit brought against certain directors
of the street railway company and was
questioned at length about the $500, 1000
fund. He said that such a fund was
made up, but he had no idea what was
done with it, except that 1t was paid
"for the benefit of the company"
"1t was paid to William c. Whitney,"
said Mr.. Ryan. HE suggested that
we put In 100000 apiece for the COM
pany. That was in 1899 or 1900.
There was no entry made in the Met
ropolitan Street Railway company's
books" He said the only information
concerning the disposition made of the
fund was given him by Mr.. Whitney.

ening the position OF sucn DanKs, IL
would seriously curtail the amount of
loans they could make.
Mr.. La Lame presented a report
from committee of the Philadelphia
board of trade against the Aldrich bill.
The committee was opposed to the pro.
hibition respecting the making of
loans to institutions in which direc.
tors of the bank are interested and
he said that as bank directors are men
OF extensive business affairs, such a
restriction would result in either the
loss of business or of desirable d.
rectors.
Mr.. Morawetz favored the appoint
ment of non-partisan commission to
take up the entire subject of banking
and to present plan at the next
session of congress for legislation. If
the pending Aldrich bill should be
passed, he said, it Should be limited
In its operations to not more than
one or two years so that it would not
become permanent addition to the
banking laws of the land. He was op-
posed to keeping bonds as a part of
the reserve of banks, saying that DUR
ing the recent stringency many banks
were loaded up with bonds, while
only money would help them.

many reasons why they did not think

Mr.. Clark declared that the bill, as
an emergency measure, was not wor-

not, he said, result in the banks pre-
pairing themselves for a panic by pur-
chasing bonds as provided for in the
bill as a basis of the emergency
currency
"They would feel that they could
watch the situation and when danger
looms up they could buy the bonds"
said Mr.. Clark. He did not believe
there would be enough of the securi
ties prescribed in the bill to provide
bonds for the banks as the bonds are
closely held by people who would not
sell them even at an advance. He
condemned the plan to enlarge the
reserves of smaller banks and while
he said it might result in strength

Fort Dodge, Sept. 16.-Fort Dodge
is assured of one of the best passen-
ger stations in the state. After num-
berless rumors from time to time,
which were difficult to affirm. there is
no longer any doubt that the Illinois
Central Railroad company will erect
a fine passenger station in the city.
1t is understood upon the best OF au-
thority that sum of $4,000 will be
expended in a structure, the plans OF
which are already out, and have been
accepted by the engineering depart
ment.
While the plans have been accepted
and all arrangements made for the
work to start at any moment, ground
will not be broken until in the spring.
The work OF erecting the building will
be started as soon as the frost Is out
of the ground then. and will continue
thru the early part of the summer.
The Location.
There is little doubt but that the
new passenger station will be located
on Central avenue hill, near the Fort
Dodge Wholesale Grocery company,
and across Central avenue to the west
from the Minneapolis * St Louis
Railroad company freight sation. This
Is the site which has been considered
previously and as it offers ideal sur
roundings and conveniences 1t probab-
ly Is the choice of the company
The new passenger station will be
built of pressed brick and stone and
will be complete and adequate to the
needs in every detail Train sheds
will be provided while the division
offices will occupy the upper portions
of the building
Whether or not the freight station

fallen for fully two weeks, and while
the ground is getting pretty dry and

those who live near them, the dry
spell is helping to ripen up the corn
IN good shape.

LID IS ON TIGHT

see 1t deserted. There were no lights,

note of music nor sound of laugh
ter came from the deserted habitations
of the women Of the underworld. A

has been moved several times but not
until last night was the lid absolutely
shut down and it is down to stay ac-
cording to Councilman Hamery, SUI
perintendent Of the department Of pub

Early in the evening scouts were sent
thru the district to see that all was
quiet and to warn any woman who
might still linger to be away by the
time the clock struck IL. 1t was not
necessary. For week the denizens of
the district have been packing up and
moving away. The order from the po-
lice department to them was to reform
and signify their intentions of so doing
by registering with Mrs. Baird Of the
humane society or leave town by Sept.
Is. The police gave them the full
count" IL O'Clock. but 1t was not nee
essary.
When the early evening visit was
made to the district, the old tumble
down houses that were once the scene
OF so much forced gaiety, revels and
fights, that once rang with music, the
sounds of the dance and the clank OF
beer bottles, were quiet and dark. The
old saloons of the district were open
as usual and so were the lunch Wag-
ons. Both used to reap rich harvests
from the patrons of the district, but
last night the bartenders, leaning lazfly
over the polished bars, and the red
hot men reported business slow" and
business Dead Some of the red
hots' had already moved their portable
restaurants to the west side Of the
river. At 10 o'clock the lights in the
saloons went out and the doors closed.
OF the women who formerly led the
gaiety in the old district, many have
left Des Moines A score have regis
tered with the humane society and are
being cared for until places can be
found where they can secure legitimate
employment. Several according to
Mrs. Baird, have already found en-
ployment and have been assured of
good homes.
