SHIP POOR TO DEs MONIES.
Capital City Complains Of System Of
Passing on Needy Persons.

Des Moines, Jan. 5.-To prevent otn-
er counties of the state making Des
Moines haven for their dependents is
one of the recent Undertakings Of the
Associated Charities, under the direc-
ton Of Secretary Horace Hollings-
worth. 1t has become evident recently
thar some counties instead Of meeting
their own problem squarely are free
ing themselves Of both moral and IL
nancial obligations by shipping their
dependents 10 Des Moines. The most
fragrant case that has come to the at
tention of the Associated Charities dur
ing the last few days is of a simple
minded man and wife, with four chill
dren, who are all unable to provide FOR
themselves. Authorities of the county
from which they came have been roti-
fed that these people will be returned
to them or proceedings commenced 10
send them to the state home for feeble
minded and charge the costs to that
county.

SILENT ON CANDIDACY.
Senator cunmins, Back in Washing
ton, Retieent Regarding Presidency

Washington. Jan 5.-Senator Cum
minis was in the senate yesterday az
ternoon. He was besieged by friends
to know what course he was going to
take on the presidency and whether he
would become a candidate. Senator
Cummins refused to make any state
ment of his intention. tho the general
feeling here in the Iowa delegation IS
that he will conclude to run depending
on certain contingencies.
It is generally realized here among
friends of Senator Cummins and poll
ticians generally chat the recurrence
of the Roosevelt movement just now is
something that must be carefully con-
sidered 1t is supposed that if Roose,
welt were actually to signify that he
would run. Senator Cummins would
not do so. On the other hand 1t is
probable that the Roosevelt Taft fight
will become so bitter as to enhance
Mr.. Cummins' chances Of being the
nominee.
A Hughes movement has been
started but it is not regarded as very
serious. Taft leaders declared yester-
day they were bent on fighting harder
than ever in view of the activity for
Roosevelt which undoubtedly has
Roosevelt's sanction. In short the
whole situation was never more cha
otto and it is likely Senator Cunlm!ns
will look the ground over here for
some days to find out Just how 1t lies
before entering the field.

IOWA WEALTH $4,000 PER CAPITA.
Farms Found to Have Inorsassd 1903
Per Cent in Value in Ten Years.


Per Cent in Value in Ten Years.
Des Moines. Jan. 5.-The farms Of
Iowa increased in value 103 per cent
between the years 1900 and 1910. ac-
cording to statistics furnished by Sec
rotary Bolton of the greater Des Moines
committee.
The census Of 1900 gave the farms
in the state a valuation Of $1,S34,3 $780,
600. The average per capita valua-
ton in the same year in the state
was S1,s2s. In 1910 the statistics
show the farms in Iowa has valua-
ton of $3,72s,S47,0O0 or an increase Of
about 1913 per cent. Judging from
these figures, Secretary Bolton takes
execution to the figures published in
The Capital yesterday from the state
house giving the per capita valuation
in Iowa at the present time at s1,120.46.
The figures in his possession do not
include the valuation Of property with
in the limits of the cities Of Iowa. They
represent only the valuation of the
farm lands. implements and stock. Yet,
figuring from them and allowing the
same percentage of increase in the
valuation of farms, the per capita worth
in 1910 was more than $4,000.
The 1910 census shows that there
were 21S,s07 farms in Iowa at that
time. The average value Of these
farms was s17100. Mr.. Bolton holds
that the valuation of city property had
increased proportionately with the in
crease in valuation of the farm lands.
No definite figures are available to show
whether Or not this is true. If it is,
the average per capita wealth in the
state is about $4,000.

Cedar Rapids, Jan. 5.-Puffs, switch

ditions to Miladys couture to the val
ue Of about 500 were stolen from the
Modern Hair Parlors, Third avenue and
Fourth street, some time during last
night. Entrance to the building was
gained by using jimmy on WIN
dow on the east side of the budding.
and tracks in the snow and the nature
of the goods taken indicate that the
robbery was pulled off by a man and a
woman.
Only the most expensive goods in the
shop were taken, and the burglars
were evidently thoroughly acquainted
with the values in this class of stuff
and knew how to pick it out. case
containing several hundred dollars
worth of what is known as raw hair
and which constituted the most valu-
able portion Of the stock, was COM
pletely rifled. The hair had just been
received from a wholesale house, and
was tied in bundles. making it posi-
bic to easily carry away small for

Fiura kraplin Dies in Few Minutes
After Being Discovered by Mother
Deep Mystery to Relatives - Takes
Fatal Dose Of carbo!ie Acid-Other
News of the State.

Clinton, Jon. 1.-Two ounces OF car
bolic acid, evidently taken with sui
cidal intent, ended the life of Flura
Kraplin, aged Is years, daughter of MI
and Mrs. Joseph Kraplin. 216 South
Third street The reason for the act
is a deep mystery to her relatives ard
friends, the girl having given no 'ndl-
cation Of her morbid intention and. in
fact. having appeared unusually happy
Wednesday morning. Coroner DR.. c. F.
Kellogg was summoned but decided
that no inquest would be necessary.
Every effort to save the girls life,
after her unconscious body was dis
covered, proved unavailing. Mrs.
Kraplin, mother Of the unfortunate
girl, made the shocking discovery
about II o'clock Wednesday morn
ing, finding her daughters body in a
building in the rear Of the house.
The girl was already unconscious
and her body limp Neighbofs as
sisted In carrying the girl To the
house.
Death Took Place at O'clock.
The mother at first believed that
her daughter had not been away
from her sight longer than two min
utes before the unconscious body
was found but it is now believed that
the girl must have taken the aclo az
Least ten minutes before. Spots wnich
appeared above the mouth, after death,
indicate that she may have taken the
acid in the house, drinking II from
cup. A search of the vicinity OF the
place where the girl was found failed
to reveal the whereabouts Of the bottle
An investigation by Coroner kei-
Iosg revealed the fact that the acid
had been obtained on prescription
which had been given the nc..'er
of the unfortunate girl some time
ago. But efforts to discover a rea-
son for the suicide We're fruitless. 1t
was reported, however, that the girl
had received a mysterious telephone
message from a woman few mo-
ments before swallowing the acid. Up
to that time she had been unusually
happy, apparently.

sALLREIcH MAY BE SENATOR.
Former Des Moines Lawyer Candidate
in Colorado.

Des Moines, Jan. 5.-CfIarles 0. Ball
reich. formerly a leader of the Polk
county bar, may be next United States
senator from Colorado, says G. D..
Ellyson, who returned yesterday from
Colorado. Mr.. Ellyson says that it is
possible that the senatorship fight out
there may find two old Des Moines
neighbors. Charles Bailreich and Mrs.
Kate Burke Wilkinson. as opponents
for the senatorial plum.
Charlie Ballreich stands good
chance of being Colorado's next Unit
ed States SENATOR said Mr.. Ellyson.
He has declined Il place ii congress
and was offered place on the supreme
court. The democrats declared that if
he would be a candidate in the cleo
ton they would not oppose him. He
declined that place. He has also been
asked by the republicans of the west
slope of the state to enter the race for
governor.
'Mr. Ballreich gained his hold in the
last republican state convention. He
was chairman. Denver had always
ruled the politics By voting last on
nominations. Last year when Denvers
turn came to vote the big boss there
SAID tAeE Wou!u "ait anu 'ole last
Ballreich ruled that they would vote in
turn. The boss jumped to his feet and
demanded to know who made that or
der. Ballreich Informed them he did,
and that the convention would rest un-
til Denver was ready to vote. His open
defiance of the boss brought the dele
gates from every county outside of
Denver to his support. Now they want
him for United States senator"
Charles Ballreich began his law prac-
tice in Des' Moines with Judge Charles
Bradshaw and at the time he left Des
Moines was junior member of the firm
of Baily e Ballreich. The late W. II.
Baily was the senior member.

OVERLOAD SECOND HAND MAN
Market for Old Equipment Glutted BY
the Heavy Purchases Of New
Cars and Engines.

The second hand railroad equip
ment man has been having busy
time for the last Ave years. He has
been loaded up with no end OF old
cars, old engines and other parts OF
a railroad, and to find market for
his wares has not been easy.
Not for many years, say the rail-
road men, has 50 much money gone
into betterments Of all kinds as has
been spent by railroads on this con-
tinent in the six years just passed
The best evidence of this is the re-
ports of the railroads themselves. 1t
applies not alone to the large rail-
road systems of the country but to
local rapid transit and surface rail
roads as well.
They have been Offering their dis
carded material to the second hand
railroad equipment man IN increasing
quantities until the market has be-
come fairly glutted. Failing to Inter
est him there has been nothing for
some Of the companies to do but to
reduce their old cars and locomotives
to scrap iron.
When railroad has old cars and
engines to sell 1t generally stores
them in some convenient place and
then invites the second hand dealer
to look them over Generally 1t brings
such stock to his notice by advertis'
ing 1t in the railroad journals. Thero
are a number Of these second hand
dealers in New York and Chicago.
They try to dispose Of the old roll
ing stock to small roads and con.
tractors, and their market is as wide
as the world.
There may be little road in india
or Africa running through the jungle
that wants an engine. This second
hand railroad man enters into nego-
tiations, and the result may be that
an engine that once pulled an ele-
waited railroad train makes a journey
10 the other side Of the world for
service in the Jungle. Or 1t may be
some line which a mining company
has built to carry it's output to one
Of the big roads that gives the sec
ond hand dealer his chance and en-.
ables one of the big roads to get rid
Of some of its old equipment.
