AT least one Methodist preacher de-
clines TO treat the Des Moines divine's
communication as "conffdential," and

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

Every prohibition crank in Iowa is
supporting George Cosson for attorney
general on the republican ticket at the
primaries. Every sub rosa prohibition

the red blooded majority Of the repub-
lican party in this state do not wish
their party to fall for the defeats it
suffered in the days Of Horace Boies,
they will see to it that Cosson Is de-
feated. He is the author of q few good
things in law. but the majority Of his
laws have decided blue tinge."

SUICIDE It IS CLAIMED ROOSEVELT LEAGUES
Chicago Police and Detectives Reject
Theory of Murder In the
RaWn Case.
tHerald Special.

Chicago, Ill, July 21.-The police
Investigation of the shooting of Ira
G. Rawn, president of the Monon Rail-
way, is ended so far as the Chicago
police are concerned. Assistant Chief
of Police Shuettler and the detectives
ON the case have announced that they
are through with the case, as they
reject all of the theories that RaWn
was killed by burglars. The police
have reached the conclusion that
Rawn committed suicide. The atti-
tude of the family, the police claim,
hampers an investigation and has
helped in reaching the suicide theory.
The officers denty that two shots
were fired, and also claim that the
bullet that killed Rawn fits his own
revolver. The supposed blood in front
of the home on the sidewalk proved
to be red paint 1t is a matter of
common knowledge that Rawn was
facing an investigation in connection
with the Illinois Central repair frauds
aggregating four million dollars, per-
petrated while Rawn was vice presi
dent of that road.
