WASHINGTON. Jan. 1s.-Com-
mander l.. Calvin Bertolette, COM
manding the gunboat Yorktown, now
protecting American interests at
Guayaquil because Of the revolution
in Ecuador. has been taken III with
yellow fever. The Navy Department
was informed o. his sudden illness
by telegram received late yesterday.
Arrangements are being made for
the care Of Commander Bertolette
under quarantine on shore. The com
mand of the ship devolves upon Lieu
tenant E. E. Scranton, the senior
officer. Though every precaution has
been taken It is feared that the other
men on the Yorktown are in danger
Of contracting yellow fever. Ships
ordered to Central and South Ameri-
can ports are under instructions TO
take especial precautions against dis
ease as many OF these ports are
highly unsanitary. Guayaquil has the
reputation of being the most pest
ridden port of the west coast OF
South America. Yellow fever. plague
and other infectious diseases are al
most always to be found there.
The illness OF Commander Berto-
lete is regarded as peculiarly unfort-
unate at this time because of his re-
sponsibilities in guarding American
interests in Ecuador. He was under
instructions to see that the notice q.
the State Department to Ecuador
that no American life or property be
threatened was observed. Command
er Bertolette has already had Nor,
than one occasion TO use his auth6rit,
as a naval officer in protecting Amer
leans near Guayaquil
The situation in Ecuador Is mucl

reaching the State Department Tn
officers and crew of the g-,nboat 30

and are using the vessel to defen

unable to seTd troops from Guayaqui
which they hold, TO the relief of thei

THE LABOR VOTE.

It has been several days since the
John Snure Misinformation Bureau
at Washington has wired as to what
the Iowa labor vote is going to do.
--Des Moines Capital, May 81.
The Labor league, which is made
up of Representatives of practically
all the labor unions of Des Moines,
has adopted resolutions unreserved-
ly indorsing Senators Cummins and
Kenyon and praising their records
in the senate. The resolutions fol-
low:
THE Labor league of Des Moines,
composed of delegates from the var
ious trade unions of the city, having
a deep interest in the many public
questions now confronting the
American nation, especially those
questions of conservation of the best
interests and the welfare of the
common people, take a deep and
lasting pride in the records of SEN
ators A. B. Cummins and William S.
Kenyon, as made in the senate of
the United States.
Eve recognize their sense of JUS
tice and loyalty to personal rights
as against property rights and their
courage to speak and act openly and
avowedly in accord with strict
equity as they see and feel fit.
I'VE unreservedly indorse their
records as made and commend them
to all wage-earners OF the state of
Iowa and of the nation for their
to public trust and their
efforts to conserve human rights and

it true, as waited by malicious ru-

LATE Young in preference to Senator
Kenyon, and If so, why? Is it true
that Hon. Cady Chase has come to

THE VICTIM OF
BOLD SW|NDLE
Nebraska Firm Seeks to Recover I'm
plements From Many
Iowans.
WERE ORDERED BY CARLOADS.
Smooth Crook Used Name of Red
Oak Dealer to Secure
Goods.
ORDERED BY CARLOADS.

Council Bluffs May FIT is
learned that an effort is being made
by the Nebraska-Moline Pillow COM
pany, which was swindled out of
$4,000 worth of farm implements
to recover the goods from the per-
sons who bought them Of the swind-
Ter. 1t is not believed that they
will be successful.
At Red Oak and other interested
points the swindle is creating no end
of gossip. 1t is said that the man
who represented himself to be John
Turner of Red Oak, member of the
firm of Turner Brothers, is a good
double of the real John Turner, and
that when he ordered three carloads
of goods and had them shipped to
Madison, Neb., the firm never ques-
toned the sale or had a suspicion
that it was not all right.
Mr.. Swindler went to Madison,
and advertising extensively that the
goods had been shipped there by
mistake and that he would sell
them at cash for whatever he could
get, in two days time cleaned up
over $4,000 and then vanished.
A representative. of the imple-
ment concern which was swindled
visited Red Oak, largely as mat
ter of form, for the Red Oak con-
Germ, rated at 100000, needed only
to say they had not bought the
goods, to settle it so far as they
were concerned; but certain formal
titles had to be followed. 1t was not
until the notes for s6,50O were sent
TO a Red Oak bank that the swindle
was discovered.
The fellow who cleaned up the
$4,000 is not soon going to be ap-
pretended, is the belief of the offic-
ers, but may now be in Cuba or
Europe enjoying the profits of his
skill and nerve.

Do the American people want a

such remark as this: "Some of

Passenger Breaks Leg.

Keokuk, May 2S.--Fearing a col
lision between trolley car and a
train on the T., p. & w. railroad
several passengers on the trolley
car jumped from 1t. Miss Helen
Reichmann sustained a broken leg.
All others who jumped escaped in
jury.
The trolley company uses the
tracks of the railroad company and
both the car and train were on the
same track and running toward each
other when the passengers jumped.
A collision was averted.
