Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1909-10-21

Chicago, Oct 2O-President TAFT
apparently was led into a serious
blunder when he changed his attitude
on the print paper schedule, accord,
ing to an open letter signed by Her
man Ridder of New York, president
of the American Newspaper Publish
ers' association.
Riders letter was made public
yesterday following its Endorsement
by the inland Daily Press association.
The letter follows:
ITO the PRESIDENT
THE full text of your address a.
Winona on the tariff bill is just to
hand. With the utmost respect, we
submit that your statement respect
ing the paper schedule shows you
could not have correctly read or IN
derstood what the print paper para
graph contained, as it passed the
house. You were apparently mfsled
by designing men into a serious blum
der. when, IN the closing days Of the
tariff conference, they induced you to
reverse your previous attitude upon
print paper, and changed your notions
of what the Mann committee recon-
mended and what the house approved.
The Mann committee, after ten
months of investigation, marked by
unusual thoroughness. reported that
a rate of two dollars would cover the
difference in the cost of production at

SAYS CUMMINS WILL JOIN WITH
BRYAN-LA TOILETTE
ANOTHER.

Elgin, H., Oct. 20.-Speaker Cannon
last night attacked the republican in
surgents in congress and defended
himself against their attacks in We
hement two hour address before the
Illinois Mayors association. He de-
MED that he was elected speaker
through a deal with Tammany and as
serted that Representative Fowler was
dropped from the craftsmanship of the
currency committee because Of his re
fusal to report an emergency currency
measure.
Il found in Iowa last week." said
Mr.. Cannon, that it is an open secret
there that Senator Cummins not only
purposes to join hands with Bryan.
but says that the agitation will not
stop and that he viii appeal to the
people until the tariff is revised &C
cording to his notions.
In the campaign to be waged by
Senator CUmmins, the issue appears
to be whether seven senators and
twenty representatives who voted
against the tariff bill constitute the re-
publican party, or whether the ma
jority Of the republican members OF
congress and the president make up
the party.
The people under the leadership
of Cummins and La Toilette call them
selves republicans. If they are | am

Denies Forgery Charge.
After his arraignment in SanDorn &
Blake's office in the Wisconsin build
ing Allen frankly stated that he would
not commit suicide like his brother
in-IaW, Cashier Frank HanscOm. He
said that he did not forge any notes,
that he did not plumber any estates,
that he made money in the deals he
engineered and that he turned over
to the bank securities of $250,00O
which would more than cover the
shortage.

while he was being arraigned. On
the way to Sanborn & Blake's office
the accused man leaned on the arm
of his nephew.

Allen is 81 years old He has a
gray moustache and gray chin beard
and a kindly looking face. If he has
been seriously i'll, as has been re-
ported from Mineral Point, he did not
show it last night. He talked willing
Iy and expressed surprise at the many
changes that have been made in Mad
ison since his last visit here year
and a half ago. At that time he ap-
peared as a witness in a cheese case
in the federal court in which he will
now receive his sentence in the event
that he pleads guilty or is found
guilty.
Allen had not made up his mind
last night as to whom he will engage
as counsel. He tried to reach Alfred
T. Rogers, law partner of Senator La
Toilette, but he was out of the city.

senator ran for governor the first
time. Allen also tried to reach John

GREWSOME FIND
OF WOMAN'S BODY
NEAR SPOT WHERE DlSMEM
BERED ST. JEAN GIRL WAS
DISCOVERED.

New York, Oct. 2O.-The bleached
skeleton of a young woman, partly
covered by shreds of linen, which
once were part of her clothing, was
found in a lonely stretch Of woodland
near IsIip, L. l.
Close to the skull was a thick mass
of blonde hair, tied with fragments
of a big bow of ribbon. It was evil
dent that the victim had been dead
for about a year.
1t was near this place that the dis
membered body of the st. Jean girl
was recently found.
The skeleton may be that of Miss
May Smith, a nurse in the Manhattan
state hospital at Islip, who has been
missing since last spring.
Miss Smith was believed to be the
fancee of Augustus Schwarz, now in
the Jail at River Head, L. L, awaiting
trial on a charge of numbering Irving
J. Nelson of Central Islip, Sept. 16.
Relatives of Miss Smith were re-
quested to try to identify the jewelry
found upon the skeleton, which in
cIudes d gold necklace and a bracelet
The theory that the girl was the
victim of a murder was strengthened
by the fact that the skull was found
about twenty feet distant from the
skeleton of the body and there were
indications that brush had been
thrown upon the body and burned to
conceal the crime.
Nearby were found a silver thimble,
a pair of scissors, a bill of goods sold
at a delicatessen store in Krebel,
Prussia, and a steamship company
folder.

American paper mills against serf-
Gus Canadian tangle which your adj
vice to the tariff conference since

before his arraignment Allen picked
up an afternoon paper and read an ar
ticle that concerned him. In discuss
ing the article with a reporter later
in the evening he laughed over the
statement to the effect that he asked
to be taken away for fear of possible
violence. He also denied the insinua-
ton in the afternoon papers that he
was in league with the fellow who
robbed the bank several years ago.
He said that nearly all Of the money
stolen was recovered. He also
laughed at the statement that after
the robbery dishes were found on the
second floor of the bank, as the build
ing was only one story high at that
time.

THE CRESCENT BEACH
WATER AND POWER COMPANY
Pretty Good Reason for Granting
Charter Asked For.
Especial to The Bulletin.)

Especial to The Bulletin.)
Hartford, March Alt appears that
the real basis of the opposition Of the
East Lyme Water company to the
charter of the Crescent Beach Water
and Power company. which the Crut-
tenden brothers of Norwich are en-
deavoring to secure, is that without
these shore resorts its charter would
be of very little value. there beinp not
sufficiently closely settled territory in
the town Of East Lyme TO give them a
practicable number of customers, and
before withdrawing it's opposition the
East Lyme Water company proposes
that the Cruttendens shall buy ii out.
This they have no wish whatever to
do and practically refuse to do. Thew
would be required then to furnish wa
ter to the whole town of East Lyme,
which is the last thing in the world
they wish to do or would be willing
to do, under present circumstances
and probably ever. II is rumored
about the corridors that the fact that
the East Lyme Water company has
had a charter for sixteen years and
has not only not done anything with
it, but never made any effort to do
anything and won't if left in sole pos
session of the field for another sixteen
years, is considered by the committee
on interpretations a pretty good reason
for granting the Crescent Beach char
ter and it will eventually be reported
favorably.
