IOWA MINERS ARE NEUTRAL
TAKE NO PART IN LEWiS.GREEN
FIGHT FOR OFFICE.
They Would Support John p. White
For National President, II
He Would Run.

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 1.-THE Reg
lister and Leader to-day says: Iowa
miners are taking neutral position
in the fight between President T. l..
Lewis and William Green of Ohio for
the Office of national president. Mr.
Green has agreed to be a candidate
against the present incumbent after
urgent requests for him to enter the
race were made by the executive
boards of the Ohio and Illinois min
ers.
Iowa miners have not entirely given
up hope that John P. White. of Os
kaloosa, will enter the race for the
national presidency. Mr. White has
repeatedly announced that he would
not seek the Office, but his many
friends among the miners of Iowa
and other states still have hope that
his answer is not final. AS national
vice president Mr.. White became
known as one of the strong men of
the united mine workers. If he should
decide to go into the race he would
have the solid backing of the Iowa
miners.
1t is stated that the Iowa executive
board will take no official action in
regard to the candidacy of either
President Lewis or Green.
With the institution of local un
ion at the new coal mine at Runnells
yesterday every mine in the state OF
Iowa became organized. James Nor.
an, of Des Moines, member of the
state executive board, organized the
union with about twenty-five mem.
bers. The mine is owned by Chaun-
cey Beebe, and has just been opened
Iowa Is now the best organized of any
of the coal states. Illinois having the
second best organization.

OTHER IOWA NEWS OF THE DAY
Carson Man Is Fatally Cut With
Razor-Hotei Clerk At Cedar
Rapids Skips With
Guests Money.

Cedar Rapids. Ia, Aug. 14.-William
Coates, veteran employe OF the
Northwestern, died here last night,
hero in all that the name implies
He gave up his life in order that
baby girl might live.
Coates was flagman on the Twelfth
avenue crossing. Friday afternoon
he was bothered by crowd OF little
tots who persisted in playing on the
tracks. He warned them repeatedly
md drove them away. Just as a
switch engine was backing down the
racks he noticed them at play near
some box cars. He cried to them and
several of them ran. Then he noticed
)ne little girl not over four years old
standing dazed in the center of the
track
Seeing the baby could not get on
the track he started towards her. He
had only time to throw her from be-
tween the rails when he was struck
by the pilot of the engine, causing
concussion of the brain, from which
he died within three minutes after
being removed to the hospital.
The little girl was the only child of
Mrs. Frank Trejcy and her father
was killed by the Northwestern in
this city little over year ago.

TO ENLARGE PLANTS
Two Oskaloosa Factories Will En-
ploy More Men.

The south part of the city has been
the scene OF much activity the past
Jew weeks. Among the big improve
ments are the enlarging of the plant
of the Iowa Manufacturing Co., and
the erection of a big warehouse by
the Interstate Manufacturing Co.
The new warehouse is frame struc-
ture one hundred feet long and thirty
feet wide facing the Burlington tracks.
1t will be used for the storing OF the
furnaces and material used IN the
factory. Being alongside the Burning
ton tracks it gives the company first
class shipping facilities.
Without doubt the biggest CONNER
cial improvement in Oskaloosa this
season is the charging of the plant
of the Iowa Manufacturing Co. The
buildings have not only been enlarg-
ed, but large amount of new machin-
cry has been purchased and nc total
will aggregate over 100000. With the
addition of this new machinery, which
costs over $4,000, the machine shop
has been doubled in capacity.
The new equipment was purchased
for the manufacture OF valves and
fire hydrants which will be new
product of the factory. Valves will be
manufactured from two and one-haff
inches to twenty-four Inches. The
addition of the new equipment means
the employment of more men hence
more money will be paid out by the
factory in Oskaloosa.
Herman Read, of Troy, New York,
has been selected to the position of
superintendent of the factory. Mr..
Read was the superintendent OF a
large factory in Troy which manufac-
tured a line of valves and fire n.y.
drants and he is well acquainted with
the work, having been at the head of
the Troy factory for fifteen years.
He has purchased an interest in the
Iowa Manufacturing Company and has
moved his family to Oskaloosa and
will make this his permanent home.
The stockholders of the concern feel
highly elated over securing the SER
vices of Mr.. Read, who is considered
one of the best men in this line of
work in the United States.

FIRST CASE UNDER new Law
CUSTER PROCEEDINGS IN PRO
GRESs At MARENGo.
Judge Preston Will Hear the Trial OF
Mayor Henderson, Charged
With Drunkenness.

Marengo, Ia, Aug. 1.-THE first
test of the Cosson removal law passed
by the last general assembly opened
here today, when Mayor A. M. Hen
derson went on trial for drunkenness.
II found guilty he will undoubtedly APP
peal to the state supreme court. I'm
der the law the case would take prece-
dence over all others so that a final
decision could be secured during the
September term of the higher tri-
bunal.
Attorney General Byers arrived last
night to prosecute the case against
Mayor Henderson. County Attorney
w. ]. Kirby of Williamsburg will as
sist him. He will be opposed by a
group of the best legal talent in the
state. Mayor Henderson has en-
gagged to defend him the firms OF
Wade, butcher & Davis of Iowa City,
Henderson & Henderson of Indianola,
Dover & Murphy of Marengo and
John f. Cronin of Marengo. Judge
Byron w. Preston of Oskaloosa will
hear the case. A large number oil
witnesses have been called and the
hearing will probably occupy several
days. A hard fought legal battle is
looked for.
Action to GUST Mayor Henderson un.
der the Cosson law was brought last
June by County Attorney Kirby on
the petition of several citizens of the
town. Intoxication was the chief
charge against the mayor. A month
later Mayor Henderson filed his an
swer, in which he attacked the Cos
son law as unconstitutional because il
does not provide for a jury trial. He
admitted being drinking man, but
says the people of Marengo knew his
habits when they elected him. Be
sides, he said he was elected before
the Cosson law went into effect.
Shortly afterwards Mayor Hender
son was severely injured by being
struck on the head by pulley which
iell from building which he was
passing. The slowness of his recov
cry made necessary two continuances
of the hearing.
Senator Cosson, who drew the re
moval law, said yesterday that he
hopes the Henderson case will be car
ried to the supreme court in order to
get speedy decision. While this is
the only action against public Off
cial started under the new law 1t is
probable that others will be com
menced as soon as the Henderson
case is disposed Of uE

Iowa Crop Bulletin.
Condition In State AS Cleaned BY
Weather Bureau Correspondents.

Des Moines, Aug. 1.-THE past sew
en- days have been unseasonably hot
and, over the larger part of the state,
excessively dry. The average tenn
perature was five to ten degrees above
the normal; the maximum tempera-
lures ranged from 80 to 100 degrees,
and the minimum temperatures were
generally above 20 degrees. The rain
fall was very unevenly distributed;
the amounts over the four northern
tiers of counties ranged from rs to
7.G4 inches, while over the central and
southern counties there was very lit
tie or no rain. The heaviest rains
were over the north central and north
eastern districts, where the need OF
moisture was greatest. In many 10
caIities, over the northern counties
the rains have prevented stacking and
threshing and caused considerable
damage to wild hay, which had been
cut, and to grain in shock, but were
very beneficial to corn, pastures ana
late potatoes. Corn has made remark
places has had enough moisture to
insure a good crop. Over the central
and southern districts the conditions
have been entirely different. Corn Is
firing badly on light sandy soils, pas,
lures are brown, potatoes are drying
up and stock water is beginning to be
scarce in many localities. Corn on
rich soil and in fields which had been
well cultivated is holding it's own re-
markedly well, but must soon have
rain. Threshing and stacking have
continued over all districts where the
rainfall was not heavy and the reports
as to yield and quality are about the
same as given in previous bulletins,
except that oats in many localities
over northern and central districts
are yielding better than early reports
indicated.
The special reports from Mahaska
and nearby counties follow:
MAHASKA (Oskaloosa) Rain .0l ;
corn is needing rain and is beginning
TO fire on high ground.
MARION (Pella)-No rain for two
weeks; corn is firing in spots; show,
er would be beneficial
MARSHALL (Gilman)-Rain, tree;

grain ground too dry to pillow.
POWESHIEK Grinnell } - Rain

all negotiations suffering severely;
grain yields: oats 30 bushels per acre
and overweight; barley 25; fall
wheat 35, with excellent quality.
JASPER (Newton)-Rain, trace;
the fierce heat and burning sun have
dried up the pastures; corn is reported
to be firing to moderate extent and
gardens and potatoes are in pressing
need of rain.

FIRE AT BURLINGTON.
Basket Factory Destroyed-loss viii
be S3O,OvO.OO.

Burlington, Aug. 1.-THE Burling
ton Basket factory, at the foot of
North street, on the bank of the Miss
issippi, was destroyed by fire at an
early hour this morning. The contin-
ued dry spell causes everything to
burn like finder. The total loss Will
probably be fully $4,000. 1t is more
apt to go above than below that fig
ure. The main buildings were DOOM
ed before the department arrived on
the ground. The firemen succeeded
however, in saving the storage build
ing, which contains several thousand
dollars worth of finished product,
and another smaller structure, which
was considered valuable. The North
End boat house, which has been threat
ened by fire so many times of late,
again escaped. At 3 o'clock nothing re-
NAMED of the buildings. but an enor,
nous pile of logs and several piles
OF lumber were burned fiercely.
