Brooke was former master mechanic
and car builder of the Iowa Central
here about seven years ago to take up
his work with the government in the
canal zone.
Is Close to Shonts.
Mr.. Brooke is very close to T. P
Shonts, who is associated with Edwin
Hawley in the merger of the Hawley
properties, and it is not unreasonable
to presume that MIR. Brooke is return
ing to the states to take up the work
again with the Hawley properties. AT
least such is believed to be the case by
railroad men in this city. Mr.. Brooke
however, so far as known here, has
made no intimation whatever of his
plans.
Mr.. Brookes came to this city in 1900
to take charge of the mechanical de-
partment of the Central. He proved
himself a very popular official, and
when he resigned to accept services
with the government he was the recip-
lent of many honors at the hands OF
the engineers fremeu and Shon,,, an

Mr.. Brooke entered the railway SER

Wabash, st. Louis and Pacific. He was
made master mechanic of the Chicago
& Atlantic railway in 1855, was later
master car builder of the old B., c.
r. & n, at Cedar Rapids. He came
here from the ST Paul & Duluth. where
he was master mechanic and car
builder.

Of Marshalltown has caused an entire
change in the plans of the promoters
OF the interurban that was to connect
that city with Grundy Center, Dixie,
Cedar Falls and Waterloo. The re-
fusal of franchise and the disposition
to misconstrue the motives of the COM
pany strangled the enterprise as far as
Its plans were formulated, making
Marshalltown center of great sys-
tenn Of interurbans. 1t is to be regretted
that such a narrow view was taken of
a project that had back Of it so much
merit. No greater field is open any
where for interurban exploitation than
the one that this company was to
cover.

SENATORS VISITING IN SALT RIVER
 VALLEY
Confer With Farmers on IT. rigation Projects and
 Their Financing

PHOENIX, Ariz., November 16.-- Senators Carter, Jones and Warren of the senate irrigation committed, and their party, went from Mesa City to the Roosevelt damsite yesterday, spent the night there, and arrived in Phoe- nix this afternoon; were given an au- tomobile ride over portion of the Salt River valley and this evening held a meeting with assembled water users of the valley to confer over the condi- tions of the project.
 Two sets of answers previously sub mitted by mail to. the water users were presented. Both are eongratulatory of the reclamation service and the differ ences were only as to minor details and varying opinions respecting the proper size of the farm unit. For the most part all the questions were answered unanimously.
 Subsequent to the two hours ses- sion, in which the committee followed answers to the questions by cross examination of the farmers, fruit grow CTS and water officials to determine con ditions personally, each senator deliv- cred five minute speeeh>of intense in- tterest.
 Carter's remarks were especially per tinent from the fact that he gave the reason for his favoring the issuance of warrants against the reclamation fund to secure money to complete the pro jects, as against the suggestions of President Taft for an issuance of ten millions of government bonds.
 The reason was that if bonds are is sued there must necessarily be a provi- sion turning all the receipts of the sale of land and receipts from repayments in irrigated sections, into the United States treasury to pay the bonds, thus destroying the reclamation fund. which could never again be established against the eastern opposition. By this plan there would be no interference with the operation of the present law, and war rants could be paid off from the re- ceipts of repayment charges to the gov ernemnt as the years go by and the pro. jects became revenue producing.
 The committee leaves tonight at 10:30 for Fl Paso.

MARINER INDICTED ON TWO CHARGES
 IF THEFT
Fact Developed That Cash Books of Railroad Have
 Disappeared

CICCINNATI. Ohio, November 16.--- Chas. L. Warriner, former treasurer of the Big Four railroad, was indicted today by the grand jury on two charges of grand larceny and embezzlement in the amount of 5000 on each count.
 While $643,00 is known to have been stolen, the startling fact was devel- oped by today's proceedings that the company's cash books prior to 1905 have disappeared and that it will never be possible to tell the full amount ot the giant defalcations.
 The comparatively small amount up- on which Warriner was indicted repre- sents the latest known theft. It has been placed at these figures, so that if conviction fails the railroad author ities may proceed on any other of the numerous thefts.
 This means that the prosecution may be maintained indefinitely.
 Amazing figures were represented to- day showing the progress of thefts for the last five years.
 The total in five years is $322,000.
 Of this sum Warriner claims to have paid $400 per month 60 each of two per sons in the form of blaekmail.
 The rest, he alleges, he lost in spec ulation.
 By far, the most interesting person to appear before the grand jury today was Mrs. Jeanette Stewart.Ford, wo man whose connection with the ease is still mystery. After she had given her evidence she declared she had said nothing beyond the indefinite state ments she has alrady made public.
 After the. grand jury adjourned fol the day. Prosecutor Hunt announced that Warriner would be summoned a' witness to give evidence against those be accuses of blackmail.

ACTIVE MARKET 0N CONTINUATION OF RUMOR Important Deal Suspected in Telegraph and Tele-
 phone Circles

NEW YORK, November 16.-The confusion of the movement of prices in today's stock market was due prin. eipally to the after.effects of yester- days excitement over the reported cop per consolidation. The positiveness of yesterdays assertions on that subject forced some recognition and led to more candid admissions.
 Amalgamated Copper seemed to be pressed consistently on the market and obstacles were encountered to any fur ther advance over last nights final prices took the edge off its effect on the rest of the list Some other stocks con cerned in the consolidation made fur ther advances.
 The announcement that the Ameri- can Telephone & Telegraph company had acquired an influential holding in the Western Union was calculated to confirm confidence that important finan cial transformations were at work, lead ing to reaction on profit-taking when the formal announcement came.
