Of Europe, has been constantly re-

came to this country June 20, there
will be danger for some days. But
little Of Birardis baggage, which he
brought over on the liner on which
five persons died of the plague, has
been located Here lies the greatest
danger, for where that baggage is

". c. BROWN FOR
IOWA SENATOR
President Of New York Central Rail-
road Is Reported to be Figuring
on Making Run for
Office.
WAS ONCE FARM HAND
Rumor That He Asplres For High
Honors and Would Resign From
His $4,000 Per Year
Position.

NEW YORK, July GA dispatch
from Des Moines, Iowa, stated that
w. c. Brown, president of the New
York Central Lines, is candidate for
the United States senate Mr. Brown,
who worked as farm hand in Iowa
when boy and has a 700acre STOCK
farm near Clarinda, Iowa, which he
acquired after he attained wealth, is
reported to have made arrangements
to enter the Iowa primaries next year
for the post now held by w. S. Ken
yon, former general counsel for the
Illinois Central railroad.
Before going into the fight, which
promises to be long drawn and highly
interesting, Mr.. Brown, it is said, will
resign from the presidency of tie
New York Central Lines.
At Mr.. Browns offices in the Crap
Central station it was stated today
that he was in the middle west for a
few days rest, and that he would not
be back in the city until the first of
the coming week. AS president of the
New York Central Lines Mr.. Brown
receives a salary of $4,000 a year
This he will forego according to ad.
vices from Iowa, where he is report
ed to have confided his cherished
senatorial ambitions among others to
the editor OF the Clarinda Herald. But
as Mr. Brown is an enormously rich
man-his wealth being accumulated
through fortunate investments made
1 from inside information-the sacrifice
of this salary will not work any hard
ships in the Brown household
The attitude of the senior senator
from Iowa, Albert B. Cummins, to-
ward the candidacy of Mr.. Brown Is
in doubt. The two men have been
friends for forty years, but they have
differed greatly with respect to how
the government should handle the
railroads.
