900 bail in the west side police court on
a charge of failing to properly provide

tional on a charge of abandonment

AS there was no reason for suppos-
ing that Carley had married Miss Gus
sic Solomon, with whom he is alleged
to have gone west at the time that he
left his wife here, the court was not
asked to hold him on a bigamy charge.
Carley. after two days in Jail, got bail
yesterday afternoon. l. Pocher, real
estate dealer went on his bonds.
Examination on the abandonment
charge will be held Friday. Carley

BODY CUT IN TWO
Hobo Peddler, Whose Identity Cannot
Be Ascertained, Killed in Gladbrook
Railroad Yards, While Drunk.

Special to Times-Republican.
Gladbrook, Aug. 21.-A terrible ac-
cident took place in the west end of
the railroad yards at this place about
2 o'clock this morning, a hobo who
had been in Gladbrook since Saturday,
peddling wire picture holders, being cut
in two by Northwestern passenger
train, and instantly killed. The man
was too intoxicated to get out Of the
way of the train.
Altho he had been heard to say that
he lived near Des Moines, nothing was
found on his person to identify him.
He bummed his way from place NO
place, but was we'll dressed, and $50
in money was found In his pockets.
The man, evidently an American, was
about 25 years of age, five feet and
eleven inches tall, smooth-faced, with
gray eyes and dark brown hair, and
weighed 100 pounds. Efforts are still
being made to ascertain his identity.

c. J. HOWELL IN TROUBLE.
Prosperous Farmer Near GrinneII
Claims He Can Explain Dealings.

Claims He Can Explain Dealings.
Special to Times-I publican.
Grinnell, Aug. 21.- The many friends
of Charles J. Howell, who has large
farm six miles southwest of this city,
are surprised and panied to learn that
he is in trouble over some financial
dealings that are alleged to be crooked,
but which he claims he can satisfac-
torily explain. He is charged with sell
ing mortgaged property without per-
mission of the mortgage, and on this
charge has waived examination and been
bound over to the grand jury under
bonds of $1,000. It seems that Howell
some time ago bought farm OF Nor
gan and Korf, of Newton, giving a
mortgage on both the real estate, and
on personal property, of which he had
a large amount. 1t is stated that
man by the name of c.. w. Roquette,
came to work for Howell on the farm,
and that Howell later sold him the
farm and the live stock, subject to the
mortgage, and the deeds were recorded
in Jasper county in which the property
is situated. Roquette is alleged to have
sold some of the live stock, and, with
what money ne coulu poiioW peeiues,
he has disappeared. Morgan and korf
claim that Howell himself had sold
some of the mortgaged stock prior to
his sale of farm and stock to Ro-
quette, and it is on this charge that
HowelPs arrest was based. Howell is
now endeavoring to have the sale to
Rouuette set aside. Howell is well
known in all this vicinity, has had ex-
tensive farm interests for years, and
his friends feel sure that he has sim
ply been the victim of an artful swind-
Ter in the person of Roquette.

GAME ENDS IN MURDER.
Negroes in Des Moines Engage in
Fatal Encounter.

Des Moines. Aug. 21.-As the result
of an alteration between John Waters
and Henry Hutson, negro coal mini
ers, the former lies dead with bull
let thru his abdomen, while the latter,
with serious cuts on the back of his
neck, is confined in the city jail. The
affray occurred at the home of Hut.
son in Gilberttown at o'clock las
evening. i
According to the story told the A.
lice by Hutson, and corroborat
witnesses in Gilberttown, Watea X 4

a sAvere beating to his wife. Leaving
his home he went to that Of Hutson,
three doors away.
The dead man was 80 years OF age
and leaves a wife and child. He had
a bad reputation in the little mining
camp, while Hutson has always been
we'll respected and law abiding. A post
mortem was held over the body this
morning and an inquest this evening.

and facts were lost to history by the
fact that in that early day the means
of preserving history was wanting.
With the life of the late Senator
Harlan it was an entirely different
proposition. His life was SO filled with
activity and the facts have been pre-
served to such an extent that it is a
question of what to eliminate. Mr..
Brigham is getting back to the original
records. Senator Harlan occupied such
a large place in the affairs of the ma
ton as we'll as in the affairs Of Iowa
that the work when completed will
prove one of the greatest value and
enough time has elapsed since his
death and the times of his activity to
allow the historian to take the un-
biased view of his life and activity.

the jury, and that there, was ample
evidence to show that the. defendant
did know what the legal rate was.
Each Shipment an Offense.
The government contends that each
shipment is the basis Of a, distinct on
fense; and that in this case each car
load was separate shipment The
jcircuit court of appeals has held that
there is but one offense for each set
tlement for freight.
The circuit court of appeals in its
opinion charges that Judge Lands as
sumed to fine the Standard Oil COM
pany of New Jersey, and imposed the
large fine for the reason that he was
satisfied that the Standard Oil COM
pany of New Jersey was not viz
gin offender"
The government shows in Its petition
that Judge Lands never referred to
the Standard Oil company OF New
Jersey in this connection and that the
language used was used in connection
with the Standard Oil company of In
diana, and that nowhere were the pro-
ceedings directed or pretended to be
directed against the Standard OIL COM
pany of New Jersey.
Big Profits Are Shown.
1t appears from the record in the
circuit court of appeals that the net
profit of the business of the Standard
Oil company of Indiana, the corpora
ton that Judge Lands fined, for the
years during which the violations or
the law for which it was convicted
were committed and including the year
in which it was indicted amounted to
$33, $50, ,20S.s0.
The punishment therefore is no more
severe than that is inflicted upon q
letter carrier who stealAa letter and
is sent to the penitentary for three
years, thereby depriving him of his
earning capacity for that time 1t is
not nearly so severe as the minimum
penalty of five years in the penitentiary
imposed upon bthker who misap-
plies the funds of his bank.
The government claims that on ac-
count of the size of the fine alone,
there Is no necessity for a retrial OF
the case; that the circuit court of ap-
peals may, itself. name the fine which
should be imposed and calls upon the
court to do so in case it adheres to the
view that Judge Lands abused his
discretion in imposing SO large fine.

The answer was made in an address OF

= gathering of several thousands OF
Virginia republicans who came to see

ginia day" The scene at the ball park
where the speechmaking took place
was typical of a country picnic. Tafts
speech was heartily applauded.
Taft Reviews Party Accomplishment
Taft reviewed the record of the dem
ocratic party from the time of the
last democratic administration in 1893,
and said that whenthe republican party
came into power in 1897 prosperity fol-
lowed to an extent never before known
in the history of the world. Attending
this great prosperity abuses developed
growing out of the dishonesty of some
prominent men entrusted to the man
agement Of the business of others and
Of the greed Of financial power of
some, stimulated by enormous sue
cesses incident to q combination of
capital in large corporations,
These abuses, he said, chiefly form
q violation of the antitrust law, the
granting of rebates, and discrimination
by railways in favor of large shippers,
When the extent of these evils were
brought home to the people, he said,
Roosevelt called the attention. of con-
gress and the public to, them and pro-
ceeded to enforce the laws then on the
statute books.
Congress- Good Record.
The republican congress elected with
Roosevelt in 1904, Taft said, made
record for remedial legislation along
the lines recommended by the presi-
dent, which, as he said himself, never
had been equalled in our time. He de-
clared that the people have ruled thru
the republican party. have no hesita-
tion in saying that not since the be-
ginning Of government has any ether
national administration done SO much
for the cause of labor by the enact
anent OF remedial legislation as The
odore Roosevelt and the republican
congresses sitting during his terms Of
office.''
q He spoke Of the republican and dem
ocratic parties of the south, and de-
clared great number Of democrats
were opposed to the democratic party
under the present leadership and none
Of them will be disappointed If the
democratic ticket is defeated. Every
one having the interest OF the country
at heart as an abstract proposition.
he said, would rejoice and have the
"solid south" as democratic asset in
every national campaign broken up.
