TRAVELLING MEN PROTEST.
Object to Use of Name in Newly
Formed Liberty League.

Object to Use of Name in Newly
Formed Liberty League.
LeMars, April 15.-The organization
recently at Des Moines of a society
called the Travelling Mems Liberty
League, with the avowed object of de-
Tending the interests of the liquor
trade, has stirred up considerable
feeling in the ranks of the United
Commercial Travellers, many of whom
are not in sympathy with the new or
ganization. The title of the society is
declared to be misleading. and the in
ference that it is representative of the
great body of travelling men of Iowa is
vigorously resented The sentiment OF
LeMars council, No. 800. United Com
mercial Travellers, is set forth in the
following resolutions unanimously
adopted at it's last meeting:
Whereas, The name Of the Travel
ing Mems Liberty League, OF DeS
Moines, Ia, is misunderstood, and is
misleading, insomuch as the name i'm
plies that the organization represents
all travelling men in general, and is
composed of travelling men only; which
is not a fact; and,
llGItdS, ne use VI lIlO lIehiiC eAoN
cling men in the name of this league
conveys an impression directly oppo-
site to the efforts of the commercial
travellers to get away and out from
under the stigma and name of excess
sive users of Intoxicating liquors, and
Whereas, We firmly believe, in view
of the actions, requirements and poll
icies of our employers, the companies
who bond us. and others to whom our
business takes us. that the name 'trav-
cling men in the name of this league
is detrimental to our own best inter-
ests. aud further believe the name of
travelling men in this connection is
Unfair and unjust to our families, our
selves and our profession; therefore,
be it
"Resolved. That we respectfully ask
the Travelling Mems Liberty League
to drop the words travelling men from
the name of their organization"

in the Third district. Sweet and Pick
EFT had come out with the statement
that they would be absolutely neutral
on the senatorial controversy, but de-
velopments of the past few weeks re-
suited in a break, and the Dubuque
combinations resulted.
Messrs. Scherr and Kretschmer are
working among their friends, and each
has succeeded in getting a favorable
following to begin active work in the
interests of their respective candi-

Cummins will poll a large vote in Du-
buque.
1t is anticipated that the same COM
binations will be carried into Bremen,
Delaware, Buchanan, Black Hawk and

Road Talks About Extension
of Western Pacific

Edwin Gould. youngest son of the
late Jay w. Gould and president of the
St. Louis Southwestern railway, arrived
in this city yesterday in his private
car Dixie. the occasion marking his
first visit to California. Gould was
met at the Third and Townsend streets

Of the Western Pacific. Relative 70 the
report that the Western Pacific line,
now being extended from Salt Lake to
this city, would be ramified so as to
include in its scope Los Angeles,
Portland and Seattle, Gould said:
IL was misquoted in saying that
the Western Pacific is now planning
the extension of the system from San
Francisco to Los Angeles. No plans
have been formed for this reported ex-
tension
AS 10 whether such a move was not
contemplated Gould was not SO posi-
tive and preferred TO stick to the or
pared or were being considered.
The general financial condition of
the country" he said, is much i'm
proved over the panic days OF last
October. This is particularly true in
the east and in New York. Capital,
however. is still nervous and uncertain.
A sense Of insecurity is banning in
vestors. What capital needs is a rest
is looking for an easing UP in the hos
tility of the administra tion. Of legis-
latures and commissions toward large
corporate interests. A period of rest
and restored confidence that the gov
ernment viii not harass capital further
would bring about n return of pros
perity and a general feeling of con-
tent"
The railroad Of which Gould is presi-
dent is known as the Cotton Belt
and traverses the cotton districts Of
the south. He is himself largely IN
terested In the growth of cotton.
We look for a very heavy cotton
crop this season." he said. Last year,
owing to various causes, lack OF mois-
ture and delayed ripening. the cotton
crop was very disappointing. The farm
ers were greatly distressed. But this
year conditions are very favorable and
the farmers look for big results
Gould is very much pleased with CAL

The Church and Corruption

So long as Christians seek1to keep

De little hope for a betterment of social

In all of life, that life shall be purified

shame OF most of us that we have never
made any practical application of our
religious principles to the political life

never yet sought to be in politics what
we nave at least recognized we ought
to be in religion. When we unite our

SUES ABE RUFF TO
RECOVER BIG BR|bf
Joseph A. Sullivan, Stock Hold
er, Demands Return of
100000 Paid Grafters
United Railroads Made C0defen-
dant and May Have to
Show Books in Court

A new twist was given the graft sit
uation yesterday by the beginning OF
a civil suit by Joseph A. Sullivan, a
stock holder in the United Railroads
Investment company, against Abe Ruef,
praying that the former boss be forced
to refund to the trolley company the
100000 bribe money paid to him by
Calhoun. Interesting revelations should
result from the trial of the suit, which
has been assigned to Judge Seawell.
For instance, the books and records
of the United Railroads will be de-
manded as evidence in the case, and II
1t can be shown that they have any
bearing, the company will be forced to
produce them III court.
The issue raised in the complaint
goes directly to the point Of whether
or not the giving of 100000 to Ruef
was an honest or corrupt transaction.
Sullivan unequivocally alleges that
the 100000 was paid to Ruef with
the object of having said Ruef use and
employ said moneys to corruptly and
unlawfully influence the then board OF
supervisors OF the city and county of
San Francisco, and the then mayor OF
the city and county of San Francisco.
to grant and to give to the said de-
fendant corporation, the United Rail-
roads of San Francisco, franchises and
privileges" and for that purpose and
no other.
Codefendants with Ruef in the suit
are the United Railroads of San Fran
cisco and the United Railroads invest
ton. Sullivan complains that these
corporations are now controlled by the
same boards of directors and by the
same presidents and managers as at
the time the 100000 corruption money
was paid Ruef, and that, therefore, 1T
would be idle and useless to demand
or request said corpora tions, or either
of them, or the directors or presidents
or managers of either of them, to COM
mcnce an action against Ruef' for the
recovery of the money illegally paid
the CRATER.
In his complaint Sullivan alleges on
information and belief that the bribe
money was paid Ruef between May 20
1905, and September l, 1906, by the
president and manager of the United
Railroads, by and with the acquiescence
of all the then IL directors. Attorney
William Grant who, with Attorneys j.
B. Zimdars and Duncan A. Mcleod
drew the complaint, says that part OF
the proof of the corrupt payment to
Ruef will be the grafter's own con-
fession. 1t is also planned to rely upon
the company's books.
Joseph A. Sullivan, the plalntif in
the suit, is retired capitalist living
in Haight street. He was formerly a
principal stock holder in the Emporium
warehouse company. He prays not
only that Ruef be ordered to disgorge
the S200,000 with interest at per cent
but that he be taxed with all the costs
and disbursements incurred in the
prosecution of the complaint.
