Cotton Bill Vetoed.

President Taft's message, vetoing
the cotton tariff bill, arrived in the
house at 202 F. NJ. AS in the case
Of the wool and freelist bills, the
president based his objections to the
cotton bill largely upon the fact that
the tariff board had not had time to
submit a report on the SCHEDULE.
He also declared that the cotton
bin was adopted without any investi-
cation or information of satisfactory
character as to it's effect upon the cot
ton industry.
The president objected especially to
the attempt by congress to add re-
vision OF the iron and steel and chem
ical schedules to the cotton bin as
amendments.
II nnd." he said. that there was
practically no consideration of either
schedule by any committee OF either
house. There were no facts presented
to either house in which | can find
material upon which to form any
judgment as to the effect OF the
amendments. either upon American
industries or upon the revenues OF the
government"
Briefly reviewing the manner in
which the iron and steel and chemical
amendments were added to the bill
the president said:
IL cannot make myself party to
dealing with the industries Of the

The secretary was asked about his
phrase in a letter touching the In

COUNCIL. INVITED
TO SEE MUD HOLE
Sixth Street Crossing at johnson and
Tracks Still Worry Those Who
Must Pass II.

An invitation has been extended to
the city commissioners to visit the
street and railroad crossings at Sixth
street between Johnson and Exchange.
This one of the most traversed sec
tons of the city for business and
factory people going to and fro, is
acknowledged as an eyesore and a
blot among the other better upkept
streets of the city.
The invitation to the commission
ers was extended by letter from a
south side resident who with
many Others must pass the Sixth
street crossing day and night, without
mountaineering themselves by going
around to avoid the filthy crossing.
What the council will do toward
remedying the muddy condition of the
crossing is not known. One citizen
proposed standing at the crossing at
one Of the three meal periods of the
day, and securing the names of a
number of signers for petition. This
petition would be presented to the
commissioners as further evidence
that the public disapproves Of the con-
dition that the place is in.

Unidentified Foreigners Body Found
Dangling From Small Cotton
wood Tree, Near Weaver
Iowa.
CHURCH DISTURBED
Lore Chestnut Made erewsome Find
While Hunting and Called Church
Goers From Their
Service.

The dead body Of an unidentified
foreigner was found hanging from a
small cottonwood tree near the IiHtle
church, at Weaver, Iowa, while the
congregation was attending services
Sunday morning. The indications
point to suicide. Coroner Fred kor-
schgen went to Fort Madison this af-
ternoon to hold an Inquest.
It Is possible the man formerly
worked on the kcokuk dam, for scft
K black hat which he had been wearing
bore the firm name or Peterson Bros.
Of THO city. In Fort Madison there is
Greek who identifies the man as a
section hand who had been working
for the Burlington.
The body was discovered by Lore
Chestnut of Weaver, Iowa, who made
the find while hunting about II o'clock
inythe morning. The cottonwood tree
Pas a small one and at the base of
the trunk was found the small ladder
evidently used by the man to climb up
Anto the tree before adjusting the
moose about his neck Fish cord was
used to bring about strangulation.
After making the discovery Chest
nut rushed to the Weaver church but
short distance away and told of the
grewsome And. A half dozen men OF
the congregation and few women
passed out Of the chnrch and followed
Lore Chestnut to the scene to watch
him cut down the body. The fish cord
had not broken and the dead mans
feet dangled about six inches above
the ground.
DR.. McKig, upon making an exam
inaticn, said the man had been dead
for number of hours, having probab-
ly ended his life Saturday evening.
The foreigner was fairly well
dressed. He had on blue flannel
shirt. In his clothing there were nc
marks Of Identification.
1t Is not believed the man met foul
play, according to advices from Fort
Madison where the inquest was held
late this afternoon.
