Wednesday evening a stranger dropped
into a Broadway saloon and while taking
a drink bemoaned the loss of a valuable
diamond ring for the recovery of which
he said he was willing to pay a reward OF
$50. To the bartender to whom he recounted
the loss of the ring the man said his name
was Duncan and that he travelled for al
eastern jewelry house.
Not long after Duncan had left tho
saloon another stranger seedy as to cloth
ing and appearance. drifted into the placs
and confidentially informed the bartender
that he had just found a handsome dla-
mond ring. He was in need of cash and
not in need of a diamond ring. At the re-
quest of the bartender the fellow produced
the ring and the practiced eye of the dis
penser of drinks at once perceived that II
was a ''phony." The fellow was willing to
cell the ring to the bartender for $3.50 spot
cash, but the bartender instead OF pur-
chasing called the police aud gave the fel.
ow into custody. In police court yesterday
morning the fellow who gave the name of
John Baker was given ten days in the
city Jail.
A search by the police failed to locate
the man who had lost the valuable ring.
The graft that the two men tried to work
on the bartender, who. however, was too
wise, the police say, is al old one.

Important Paving Decision.

MARSHALLTOWN, Oct. ~2.-(Speciail.)
A supreme court decision which is of
vital Importance to all cities of Iowa in
which paving litigation is in progress or
prospective, was given today at Des Moines
in the cases of the Barber Asphalt Paving
company against G.. w. Calhoun and
Timothy Brown of this city. The decision
is that the paving company cannot collect
from the property owners involved. The
decision affirms the decision given by
Judge C. B.. Bradshaw in the trial court.
At the first trial of the cases, the as
sessments made against the property by
the city, to pay for the paving, was set
aside because the contract was not full
filled by the paving company. The paw
ing company then brought suit against
Brown and Calhoun, asking that it be
given judgment for the actual value of
the paving which in each case was placed
at $500. These are the cases that have
just been decided.

knowledge which they may acquire. and
they ought not to be required to employ
detectives to find out what the officials
are doing after the election. Mr.. Taft
knows that a great many matters come be-
tore executives and legislatures where it
is DIFFICULT, II not impossible, for the aver
age voter to investigate the facts. The
people have a right To know in advance OF
election whether those with special inter-
ests to look after are contributing sums
larger that public spirit, patriotic motives
and general interests would explain.
Case of Mr.. hughes.
Mr.. Taft mlsrepresents what ! said In
regard to Mr.. Hughes. called attention to
some of the contributions that were made
70 Mr.. Hughes fund. and In view of the
iact that MIR. Hughes attacks the remedies
presented In the democratic platform as
a cure for the trusts without advancing
any remedies of his own, and in view OF
the further fact that this testimony was
quoted by the president against me, I
asked the president whether he thought
that these contributions by trust magnates
would lessen or increase the weight of Mr..
Hughes testimony on the subject of trusts.
1t is only fair, however, to assume that
IN using Mr.. Hughes case as an argument
Mr.. TAFT means to say that he will not
object to contributions from trust mag
mates, railroad magnates and tariff bene-
ficiaries. no matter how much those con-
tributions may be, even though he may, If
elected, be compelled to pass upon ques-
tions where their demands may be on the
one side and the interests Of the general
public on the other. He must not complain
II he finds that many republicans of the
rank ana Tie VIII dltfer from MIN on this
subject, for the average man will Judge
aspirants for office by the rules applied
TO average men. Common sense and the
universal judgment are against Mr.. Tsft's
position and against the arguments which
he advances in its support.
After giving out the above statement
Mr.. Bryan referred to Mr.. Taft's state
ment that Thomas f. Ryan contributed
$4,000 to the Nebraska campaign fund in
1904, and said:
This was denied, but I assume that he
has taken the statements of some of his
republican advisers without taking time to
verify those statements.
Mr.. Ryan did not contribut any money to
the Nebraska campaign fund. The national
committee contributed $4,000 I'm 1904 and
the members OF the national committee
who had charge of the fund have stated
that the contribution was made from the
general fund of the committee and was
not contributed TO the committee by any
one for the purpose Of being sent to
Nebraska.

While Prosecution DenOunces
ERau.

PIERRE, s. D., Oct. p Especial Tele-
g~ram.)-The arguments IN the Bgan dis
barment suit We're opened in the supreme
court this morning by Judge Park Davis
OF Sioux Falls for the prosecution. who re-
viewed the testimony of the O'Grady case
on which the disbarment proceedings are
based. He was followed by Henry Robert
son OF Dell Rapids. who closed his state
ment with the assertion that Egan had,
after securing the property of Mrs.
O'Grady, sent her out into the world shorn.
clipped, stripped and robbed.
This afternoon the defense was opened
by Judge S. H.. Cochran Of Logan, Ia.
father-in-law Of Egan. He made a strong
plea and admitted that there might be a
great deal Of egotism shown by Egan. but
that was no cause for dlsbarment. He
threw out intimations that the OGrady
case was only a means to an end ana that
back Of It all was a real motive for the
attack upon his relative.
W. S. Glass, ID. j. Conway and Judge
Gaffy followed for the defense and sena-
tor Kittredge pointed the closing argument
for the prosecution. He took the position
that the decision in this case would set
the standard required by attorneys OF the
state, whether II should be one OF high
morals or one which would reflect against
the bar, That II Esan should be sustained
all attorneys OF the state might as we'll
place over their doors, "All hope surrender.
you who enter here" In summing up the
testimony he said that Egan had built up a
magnificent Annanias club IN and about

railway company carried at least 1900 peo-
pic from Council Bluffs TO witness the

at 6 o'clock in the evening this number was
increased to thirty-four. with this number
Of cars the big crowd was handled in ex-
cellent shape and the bulk of those who
went to Omaha to see the parade were
brought home before midnight. The cars
after this hour were only partly filled with
stragglers who had stayed TO take In the
