RIGID INSPECTION
FOR IOWA STOCK
Commission Of Health to Guard
Against tuberculosis and Chambers
In Cattle and Horses.

Des Moines, Sept, S.-According to
the orders of the Iowa commission of
animal health, Iowa livestock will be
protected from disease in the future
by the most stringent set of rules In
force in the United States.
DR.. J. I. Gibson, state veterinary
surgeon, and chairman Of the commits
sion which was established by the
34th general assembly, announced to-
day that If the rules. which are made
laws by approval Of the executive
council, are carried out, no livestock
will be permitted to be shipped into
the state except when the animals are
in a healthy condition. All cattle
must have passed the tuberculin test.
All horses must be proven free from
glanders by the mallein test when
horses are imported from west of the
Mississippi river.
It Is the belief of DR.. Gibson that
all CHAMBERS cases have come into Iowa
from western states.

COASTING STEAMER
HAS A CLOSE CALL
One Hundred and Twenty Passengers
Panic Stricken When Boat Hits
Rocks In Golden Gate.

San Francisco, Calf. Sept. s.
Creeping into the golden gate yester'
day through a heavy fog, the coasting
steamer Santa Clara ran upon the sub
merged Centessima rocks, which gov
ernment engineers in a recent search
were unable to find and for the blow
ing up of which the last congress
made an appropriation. All those con-
cerned now agree that the rocks are
there but that the marking buoy was
misplaced when the official search
was made.
The Santa Clara struck near the
spot where the Rio De Janerio from
the orient sank February %, 1901,
with the loss of 122 passengers.
The 12O passengers on the coasting
steamer were panic stricken, but the
ships officers pacified them when the
wireless operator pounded out the IS.
@. s. distress signal. The pumps kept
down the water, which poured through
the open seams and twisted stem and
the steamer docked under her own
steam. -@

Notice Said to Have Been
Posted Calling Men Out;
Leaders in West Confer
as to Labor Situation.

Chicago, Sept. 8.-Reports that the
$4,000 shopmen employed by the 1llin.
ois Central railroad may be ordered
on strike because Of the refusal Of the
railroad to recognize the recently or
ganized federated union were received
here today. when story was circu.
lated to the effect that written notice
instructing the men to walk out had
been sent to the local bodies several
days ago to be held in abeyance until
released. The notices, it is said were
prepared q week ago. In the meantime
the labor chiefs gathered here are
waiting for the meeting of the executive
committee Of the international unions
scheduled to be held here Sunday at
ternoon.
Meeting Held In West.
San Francisco, Cal, Sept. Sowing
to delays in the arrival of members
from distant points, only an informal
meeting of the advisory beard OF the
federation Of ship employees of the Har-
riman lines and the international pres
idents of the shop craft unions in
volved, was held today in regard to the
refusal of Vice President Kruttschnitt
to recognize the federation.
No definite action is expected until
tomorrow, when 1t Is known all of the
committeeman will be on hand.
The general committeeman repre-
sent nearly every shop Of the Harri.
man system west of the Mississippi
river and are accredited with author
ity to act for the $4,000 Hartman
line employees.
James w. Kline, international presi-
dent Of the Blacksmith's union, said
the four international presidents who
came here and unsuccessfully urged
Vice President Kruttschnitt Of the
Hartman lines to recognize the fed
GRAFTON, would use every effort to
avoid break between the company and
the men, but that they realized that
there was little chance to prevent q
strike.
Most of the shops along the coast
have emphasized the desire of men to
take drastic action but some, Of the
delegates from the middle western
states are inclined to accept the ulti-
matum of Kruttschnitt for the present
and to make individual union contracts
for the coming year.
It is past time for drawing up the
annual contracts and the shopmen are
awaiting the result Of this conference
before beginning negotiation with
their general superintendent. In case
it Is deemed inadvisable to strike,
new contracts will be made at once,
each craft dealing separately with the
company, but all demanding practical
ly the same conditions Of employment.
President Kline said the conference
probably would last until tomorrow
and that 1t might be extended into next
week. He said that he did not expect
any definite action today.

ROOSEVELT HITS
TAFT PEACEP Plan
FORMER PRESIDENT IN EDITOR
lAL SCORES PROPOSED
ARBITRATION TREATIES.

New York, Sept. 8.-Under the
heading "The Peace Of Righteousness .
former President Roosevelt in an edt-
torial in the Outlook deals with the
arbitration treaties advocated by Presi-
dent Taft, recently presented to the
senate.
1T is one of our prime duties as q
nation to seek peace" says Col. Roose-
welt. ut is an even higher duty to
seek righteousness. 1t also is our
duty not to indulge in shams, not to
make believe we are getting peace by
some patent contrivance which sensi-
BILE men ought to know cannot work in
practice, and which, II we sought to
make 1t work, might cause irretriev-
able harm.
II sincerely believe in the principle
of arbitration; I believe in applying
that principle so far as practicable;
but believe the effort to apply it
where 1t is not practicable cannot do
good and may do serious harm. Con-
fused thinking and willingness to
substitute words for thought, even
though inspired by an entirely amiable
sentimentality. do not tend toward
sound action.
Aims Should BE Defined Clearly.
II think the great majority of those
persons who advocate any and every
treaty which is called treaty for
peace or for arbitration would be less
often drawn into position that tends
to humiliate their country II they
would take the trouble to formulate
clearly and definitely just what 1t is
that they desire.
"Of course there are persons wholly
Indifferent to the national honor and
interest, who, in consequence, cannot
be reached by an appeal to national
honor and interest; and there are
other persons whose ingrained per-
sonal~ timidity is such they are more
afraid of war than OF any dishonor,
personal or national.
I'VE, the American people, believe,
and ought to believe, In righteousness
first and in peace as the handmaiden
Of righteousness. We abhor brutality
and wrongdoing, whether exhibited by
nations or by individuals. We hold
that the same law Of righteousness
should obtain between nation and ma
ton as between man and man.
People Opposed to Injustice.
"The American people desire to do
justice and to act With frank gen.
erosity towards all the other nations
of mankind, but / err greatly in my
Judgment OF my countrymen II they
are willing to submit to wrong and in
Justice"
Col. Roosevelt cites the revolution
ary war, the civil war, and the Spanish
American war as instances in which
1--WE put righteousness above peace" I"
He also cites the existing arbitration
treaties between the United States,
Great Britain and France, as better
than the proposed treaty, because
they make no false pretenses and ex-
clude questions affecting our vital In
terests, independence, or honor.
