st. Louis, NO., Dec. 29.-United

politicians on his arrival here this
week by giving out q statement con-
tanning his seven reasons why Speaker
Champ Clark should be the nominee
for the presidency. To-day certain
democratic leaders are out with state
ments asailing Stone for his course
and q fight for the state delegation TO

The fight arises from the fact that

his claims for the presidency. Re-

Judge w. N. Evans OF West Plains,

There have been no casualties
among the resident foreign population,
although many have suffered from a
lack OF provisions while they have
been boxed UP in their houses during
the prolonged street fighting.
The stars and stripes flying over the
United States consulate was cut down
by Russian she'll during the fighting
but no further damage was done to
the consulate.
No precise figures as to the casual
ties sustained by the Russians and the
Persians are available, but it is esti-
mated that the Russian loss amounted
from 100 to 200 men. The mortality
among the native non-combatants has
not been large and the reported atrOe-
ities by the troops on both sides are
unfounded.
The operations Of the Persians were
directly solely against the Russians.
They showed no resentment whatever
against any other foreigners. The
disturbance started during the night
of Dec. 20 by q collision between pa
troll OF Russian troops and the Per-
sian constitutionalists in the street.
Two Persians were shot in this affair

COMMITTEE IS
MEETING WITH
FAIR SUCCESS
Men Engaged in Securing
Stock Subscriptions for
New Hotel Proposition
Get Within $4,000 Of Goal.

The goal set out for by the commit
tees soliciting subscriptions Of pre-.
ferred stock for the new six-story hotel
has been brought steadily nearer by
two days OF arduous campaigning. The
$4,000. OF preferred stock Is being Sc
cured with a hard effort, but the per.
severance OF the men who have de
voted thoirs time and energy tp tie
cause Of the long talked OF improve-
ment is not going to give out until the
matter Is cinched. That is the tenor
of the remarks OF the workers, and
may be relied upon. A meeting is be-
ing held this afternoon to make plans
for a grand wind-up OF the campaign:
The work Of the committee since
setting out yesterday morning showed
q total Of $4,000 by noon today. This
leaves a sum of $6 900 to get, but there
is no doubt manifested by the men
who are at work on the proposed new
hotel plan, as to the ultimate carrying
out Of the scheme. With this attained
the year OF 1911 will close auspiciously
and the new year will open on the
brightest Of hopes for Improvement
for Ottumwa, and It's long cherished
hope for another and bigger hotel will
be realized.
The amount secured this morning
by the workers during the few hours
they were out, was 500, there having
been $4,000 at the time Of starting
that was secured for the enterprise.
This afternoon number who were
seen earlier in the campaign were ex-
pected to produce nice subscriptions
that would make the list materially
larger and the goal much closer. The
meeting that is being held in the Com
mercial association rooms this after.
noon has called together most of the
men who have been at work on the
proposition and they are planning
ways and means to clear the matter
up In a short time and have done with
the drudgery OF tramping all over the
district day after day.
