SENATE ADDS $4,000, 900.
Appropriation Measure Asgresatins
$32,126,53o Agreed to by SEN
ator Nelson's Com.
mittee.

Washington, ID. Ex-senator Mel.
son of Minnesota, chairman OF the
senate committee on commerce, left
a sense OF relief when his commit.
tee completed and reported to the
senate the river and harbor bill car.
rying s32,126,530 in appropriations for
the internal improvement projects Of
the country.
Mr.. Nelson's committee added about
$1,000 ,010 to the bill over what It car.
ried when 1t passed the house. and
In the opinion of Chairman Nelson,
that increase is a modest one and in
dicates the regard which the commit
tee felt for the public treasury.
This fact Is shown by the comment
made by Mr.. Nelson when he assert
ed that two weeks OF continuous
daily sessions Of his committee were
necessary in order that full consider
alton should be given to the various
projects for which additional funds
were demanded.
The items sought to be incorporat-
ed In the bill. while 1t was pending
before the Nelson committee would
have increased the total appropria-
tons under the bill by more than
s40.000.o0o. 1t was only by the most
persistent efforts of the committee
that the totals were held down &c the
addition Of only about 100000.
Senator Nelson exhibited his mod
esty in connection with the efforts to
hold down the aggregate. He secured
only few thousand dollars addition
al for projects In Minnesota, but he
united with his colleagues from the
Northwest in giving more funds to
the Mississippi and Missouri rivers.
At Mr.. Nelson's request $4,000 ad-
ditional was granted for the reser-
voir work at the head-waters OF the
Mississippi. and $4,000 additional for
Warroad harbor in Minnesota.
1t Is believed by Mr.. Nelson and
other members OF the delegation that
Minnesota projects are we'll cared for
In the bill.
The largest single increase to the
house measure was $500 900 for the
Mississippi river, making s6.o00.O00

Speaker Clark led steadily from the
time the first returns arrived from
the Baltimore wards. Early in the
evening It looked as II Colonel Roose-
welt would win by an equally big ma
1ority, but shortly before midnight re-
turns from the strong Taft counties in
eastern and southern Maryland put
the president suddenly ahead with 6s
delegates to his opponents 81. 1t
was Prince Georges county that de-
cided. Both sides claimed its FIVE
votes until conclusive returns short
ly after midnight placed 1t in the
Roosevelt column.
The Taft leaders claim that the Ave
Taft delegates chosen In Baltimore
city. although obliged by their instruc,
tions to vote for Roosevelt, may give
the Taft sympathizers control Of the
state convention and enable them to,
elect delegates to the national conven-

Roosevelt as soon as released from

CONTRACTOR LANA
MISSING 3 WEEKS
TeIegraphs Wife at Harlan That He

SNOW BOUND LUMBER CAMP
Letters Sent to Oregon Were Returned

Friends of w. M. Lana, of Harlan,
head of the Lana Construction com
pany and bridge contractor for Craw-
ford county, were much concerned as
to that gentleman's whereabouts.
Three weeks ago he went to Ohio to
purchase a dredging machine, and he
later returned to Chicago, where he
wrote his wife that he was going to
the coast to purchase lumber. SINCE
receiving his letter from Chicago, Mrs.
Lana had heard nothing of her hus.
band until this week, although she
sent mail on to town in Oregon to
which he had directed her to send it.
This mail was returned uncalled for.
Mr.. Lana was in some lumber camp
and communications were shut off by
the heavy fall of snow in the west. AS
soon as Mr.. Lana could get to a tele-
graph station he telegraphed his wife
of his safety, and thus greatly relieved
her and his many friends.

Ida Grove Pioneer Exceedingly Griev.
ed Over Methods Practiced by

AND We ALSO FEEL LIKEWISE.
Under Cover of Commercial Club Gre
dentiaIs Same Preacher ~
Worked Denison Citizens.

Some six weeks ago Denison citizens
contributed about $4,000 to the up
building of the Mckinney Polytechnic
Institute, at Mckinney, Kentucky. The
contribution was made to one C. A..
Jones, colored man, who, under cover
OF credentials from the Denison Com
mercial Club, represented himself as
one authorized agent of the Mckinney
school, Baptist minister, an ex-law-
yer and reformed drunkard. The
man in question had very prepos-
sessing manner, polite and affable, and
his solicitations were met with hand
out of many shekels. He attended
services at one of the. churches here
and upon invitation offered very fer
vent and eloquent appeal for his school
1t now seems that he was nothing more
than smooth CRATER as the following
from the Ida Grove Pioneer would in
dictate. But then even CRATER must
live on his downward trip:
''Under the pretense that he was an
authorized representative of the Nc
Kinney Polytechnic Institute, negro
who gave the name of c.. A. Jones,
victimized the pastors of the Ida Grove
churches and many prominent citizens
q short time ago when he visited this
city. He probably worked his graft
here for close to $4,000.
when Jones was here he first So
licited the pastors and obtained from
them $1.OO each. This subscription
was entered in little book and later
on Jones changed the amounts and in
creased them to much larger sums so
that he might influence others in Civ
ing larger sums. From Sheriff Nc
Leod he obtained 81 and raised this
amount to $1,000 to induce large gifts
from others.
Several became suspicious OF the
actions of Jones and Rev. Amos wrote
to the Mckinney Institute. He has
received reply from M. S. Bowles,
president of the institute, in which
Mr. Bowles states that c. A. Jones is
an imposter who has been giving them
trouble and that they have been max
ing efforts to capture him during the
last three months, but without sue
cess.
"Mr. Bowles is now in Toledo getting
out a new catalogue for the Mckinney
Institute, normal and industrial
school for negroes, and he asks that if
anyone hears of this man Jones con-
tinuing his graft to cause his arrest
and telegraph at once to L. S. Bowles,
care Hotel Pleasant, Erie Street, To-
ledo, Ohio. Mr.. Bowles will be in To-
ledo for two weeks and should there
after be addressed at Mckinney, Ken

LATER-Sheriff Mcleod, of Ida
county, located Jones at Onawa and
placed him in Jail in Ida Grove, and
officers of the institute are expected
to arrive soon and prosecute him.

only his trousers missing. He went

kitchen first, where he found the rear
door standing open, but the jail bird
flown. In the middle of the kitchen
floor lay the trousers, with only a
purse missing from the pockets, a
knife, keys, ETC., being left by the
burglar. The purse contained only
three or four dollars. Near the trous-
ers in the bedroom lay the judges
coat in the pocket of which was his
wallet. containing goodly sum of
money which the burglar overlooked.
Upon the dresser lay Mrs. Church's
handbag, containing quite roll OF bills
and also her diamonds. which the mid
night prowler likewise missed in his
purloining effort Altogether they
we're very fortunate to lose so little,
and to escape all the other evils some
times resulting from burglarizing at
