Mr.. and Mrs. George League. parents of

he was over q years OF age and therefore
no longer amenable to the terms Of the
parole under which he had been enjoying
his liberty. 1t was stated that the young

parents produced what they alleged to be
a copy OF the family record, copied from
the family Bible. which had been destroyed
by fire six or seven years ago. The par
ents further claimed they had been married
Ia 1886.
The testimony as to young Leagues age,
however. received a solar pleNus blow when

DIES MONIES, Nov. 11.-(Special.)-In-
formation has been received here by the
close personal friends Of Secretary James
Wilson to the effect that he Is certain to
remain an indefinite time in the cabinet
in his present place and that there is an
understanding between him and Mr.. Taft
as to this fact.
The friends Of Wilson have been dis
turbed by the talk that Taft is looking to
Iowa for another cabinet officer and the
rames Of several well known politicians
have been used in this connection. 1t was
felt That the political pressure to secure
a change might Influence Taft, but this
is now regarded as improbable, since VIII
son is to remain the Iowa member Of the
cabinet Wilson was urged to enter the
race for governor or for senator. but de-
clircd on the ground that he felt his period
Of usefulness had not yet passed in the
Agricultural department.
Among members of the legislature there
is discussion as to whether or not II. II
Boettger, elected to the legislature from

ground that 1t had been discovered he was
dismissed from the state militia a few
years ago for having used language dis
respectful Of the president. 1t was as
serted he had expressed great joy over
the assassination of President Mckinley
With this stigma attaching to him he was
elected by a small majority. Now the new
members are saying that II he was not

waged an incessant war upon the glass
blowers. a war even more bitter than con-

TELEPHONE FIGHT AT DUBUQUE
Suit Begun Under Antitrust Law By
independent Men.


DUBUQUE. Ia. Nov. 11.-(specia .)-Open
warfare between the two great telephone
systems of the United States was precipi-
tated here today by the filing of a bill Of
equity in the United States sircult court
before Judge H. IT, Reed, a Roosevelt APP
pointee, intended to break up an alleged
plan of the Bell company to smash the in
dependent system and recover it's monopoly.
In this first case the federal antitrust
laws are invoked to have set aside the pur-
chase of a majority OF the stock in the
Dubuque independently Telephone company
by Bell interests on the ground that the
sale tends to the restraint of interstate
by giving the Belt company a
monopoly of local and interstate telephone
business in and out of Dubuque.
The petitioner is Ohio c. Snlder. a prom
inent independent telephone operator Of
Kansas City, No, who sues on behalf Of
himself and the other minority stockholderI
of the Dubuque company. The bill names
es defendants the Iowa Telephone company,
the American Telephone and Telegraph
company (known as the parent BelD and
the various Bell representatives In control
of the Dubuque company.
Besides asking that the sale OF stock and
the subsequent election of Bell officers and
directors be declared void, the complainant
asks for an injunction restraining the new
board Of directors from exercising its func-
lions in behalf of the Bell interests and
against competitive operation and for
damages for loss in depreciation of the
stock.
The Dubuque Telephone company, as set
forth, began service In 1900. Prior to that
time the Iowa company had held a full
monopoly, charging S4 per year for busi-
ness telephones and $40 for residences, Ii
had then only 600 subscribers in Dubuque,
chiefly among the business houses, The
Dubuque company adopted rates of S24 for
business houses, SIS for two-party business
lines, $15 for residences and $12 for two
party residence lines, with an average re-
duction of 30 per cent in toll rates. Under
the rivalry the business was greatly stimu-
lated and the construction service of both
companies greatly extended and improved,
and the public generally was vastly bene-
fitted thereby"
The attorneys for complainant are Healy
& Healy of Fort Dodge. T. ], Fitzpatrick OF
