For Them.

Council Bluffs, Ia. Oct. 20.-At a
meeting of the executive committee OF
the Iowa Association of Master Bak.
ers, held here yesterday, Dubuque
was selected as the next meeting place
of the association and the second
week in February chosen as the date.
All the members of the executive COM

w. III. Kern, of Davenport, president
of the association, went to Ames from
here to confer with President A. B.
Storms of Iowa college with reference
to the institution of -four tests in the
college laboratory.
Tests are now made of grain in
which the farmers and millers are in

is of equal il not greater Importance
that similar tests be made of -four.
1t was said by officers OF the com.
mittee that bread had not and proba-
bly, would not be increased in price.
Regarding the bleaching of -four
they denied having any interest, but
all agreed that they were against
bleaching on the ground that the pro.

Exhibitions of Cow

Gregory, Texas, Oct. 20.-President
Taft is attending an old-fashioned cat
tie roundup today on the Rincon
ranch Immediately adjoining his
brothers, and is enjoying the steer
,roping, branding. and2 breaking bron-
chos. This morning the president
golfed with his brother. After the
golf match both took plunge in the
lake. A dozen deputy sherif1s are
guarding all approaches to the cot
tage where the president, his broth
er, Secretary Dickinson and General
Butt are quartered None are allowed

TAFT began his three days OF doing
AS he Pleased on his brothers ranch

morning over muddy course and by
just lOating' through The long alter
noon and evening. Mr.. TAFT was as
dappy as d boy ont of school. The
idea OF eating a dinner without hav-
ing TO speak Tor it and of going the
.ivclong day without having to make
speech appealed to him strongly
and he declared se wished his lar
southern vacation could last a week
and three days instead of just the lat
ter period. While the president was
golfiRg and resting the members OF
his party enjoyed themselves in vari-
GUS ways. Secretary of War Dickin-
son and Capt. Archie Butt were up
before the sun and started out on an
all-day duckshooting expedition. at
the fresh water tanks ON the ranch,
ten miles away from the farmhouse"
at Laquinta, veritable place set on
the shores of Corpus Christi bay,
looking out over the waters of the
Gulf of Mexico. They returned late
in the afternoon with quite bag and
denied the presidents haunting in
situations that they had been pre-
scented with the birds.
Others of the party took long horse
back rides and had swim in the bay.
Beginning to-day the president will
probably go N Datning each remain
ing morning of his stay, as both
weather and water are warm.
Ranch hands out hunting killed two
wild cats, two wild boars and a rae.

ident. To-day the president played

SUPREME COURT
STAYS CARTER CASE
Further Allowance Of Counsel
Fees Is Stopped.
LITTLE LEFT TO FIGHT OVER
Application Was First Ever Made by
Government for Writ of Such
Character--Excites Com.
nent in Court.

Washington, Oct 20.-The supreme
court of the United States issued an
order staying proceedings in the Unit
ed States circuit court for the north
ern district of Illinois in the matter of
the application of Capt Oberlin M.
Carter for the allowance of further
counsel fees in the governments suit
against him for the restoration of the
funds alleged to have been procured
by him through defalcation.
The order of the court affecting a
stay of proceedings in the Carter case
will be directed to Judge C. C. Kohl.
saat sitting in the circuit court The
application for the order was made by
Solicitor General Bowers, who was &C.
companied by Special Assistant Mar
ion Erwin, who has had charge of the
Carter case from it's beginning.
Asks for Immediate Stay.
The application was for an immedi-
ate stay of the proceeding in the cir
cult court, which was to have taken
place to-day, and request was also
made for future writ of prohibition
The application was the first ever
made by the government for a writ of
such character and its presentation
created quite ripple of excitement in
the court.
In bringing the matter to the atten-
ton of the court Mr.. Bowers said that
he appeared with much reluctance
and that he only did so because of the
urgency of the matter. He then stat
ed that notice had been given that the
attorneys for Capt. Carter would make
application to the circuit court for Q
further allowance of counsel fees to
be paid out OF the Carter fund, which
is held by receiver pending the set
Element of the case. He stated that
in previous proceeding of the circuit
, court the funds had been awarded to
the government but that such enor-
nous counsel fees had been allowed
as to cause the government to appeal
TO the supreme court. On the other
hand, Carter had appealed from the
general verdict, so that cross appeals
are now pending.
Little Left to Fight Over.
MIR. Bowers further stated that out
of $135,000 the circuit court had al
ready granted fees amounting to $685.
000 These grants had been made for
services in the circuit court alone.
The present petition was for ex-
penses in bringing the appeal. Mr..
Bowers made the point that the cir
cuit court was without jurisdiction tn
make such an allowance, notwith-
standing Judge Kohlsaat had already
taken the position that the matter was
within his control. On account of this
statement of the Judge, Mr.. Bowers
said, there was great apprehension
that to-day's proceedings would result
In further large grants and he feared
that IL these continued there would
not long be much to fight over. vi, ri

CHARGES TAFT WITH BLUNOER
HERMAN RIDER QUESTIONS
PRESIDENTS ACTION.
Says His Change of Attitude on
Paper Schedule Was Seri-
Gus Mistake.

Chicago, Oct. 20-President Taft
apparently was led into a serious
blunder in the closing days of the re-
cent session of congress when he
changed his attitude on the print pa
per schedule, according to an open
letter addressed to the chief eXecu-
tive, and signed by Herman Ridder
of New York, president of the Ameri-
can Newspaper Publishers associa-
ton
Mr.. Riders letter was written
some time ago, and was made public
following it's Endorsement by the In
land Daily Press association in SEES
sion here. Mr.. Riders letter is as
follows:
ITO the President
THE full text of your address at
Winona, Mimi, on the tariff bill has
just come to hand With the utmost
respect, we submit that your state
ment respecting the paper schedule
shows that you could not have cor
rectly read or understood what the
print paper paragraph contained, as
1t passed the house of representatives.
You were apparently misled by de-
signing men into serious blunder,
when, in the closing days of the tariff
conference, they induced you to re-
verse your previous attitude upon
print paper, and changed your no.
lions of what the Mann committee
recommendedsand of what the house
of representatives had approved. The
Mann committee, after a ten-months'
investigation, marked by unusual thor
oughness. reported that rate of two
dollars would cover the difference in
cost of production at home and aboard.
The draft proposed it absolutely safe
guarded American paper mills against
the serious Canadian tangle which
your advice to the tariff conferees has
since precipitated. The fixing of the
rate on print paper at $3.75 per ton
which you advised, has decided the
province of Quebec, to prohibit the
expectation of its pulp wood, and
many American paper mills must
close or move to Canada, to obtain
their supplies of raw material. The
country is now in a fair way for a
trade war with Canada, because of
your apparent failure to correctly
read the Mann committees recon-
mendations. We are threatened with
an Industrial disturbance, which will
involve business interchanges with
Canada, amounting to s2S5,000,000 per
annum We sincerely trust that you
can find some method of rectifying
the mistake into which you were led.
We fully appreciate the difficulties
and responsibilities Of your exalted
office, and we believe you are trying
to do the best You can. We know
that you must rely upon others for
your information. We feel that every
citizen is under obligation to help
you. Therefore, We write this letter
to you Yours respectfully,
