There are many Of us who are SUI
fragists and our organizations does not
disapprove Of the movement. I have
been suffragist myself for twenty
years. but let me emphasize that the
Women's National Democratic League
disregards the question altogether.
II am convinced that we will ac-
complish the object we have In view
In previous campaigns, much of the
fund obtained has come from few
rich men and corporations With our
system we mean to obtain far greater
number Of small contributions from
every city and town in the United

complish this in all parts Of the coun-
try, I believe we will meet with grea,
success"

Resolution.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines July 19.-W. b. Barney
state dairy and pure food commission
er. has just returned from Seattle,
where he attended the national meet
ing of the commissioners.
The convention put quietus on the
old Wilson Wiley quarrel. which has
been bobbing up at every convention
for five or six years. and refused fatty.
for the first time, to undertake by
resolution to decide who Is who and
what IL right. A resolution endorsing
Wiley. offered by the Indiana commits
sioner, who hopes to succeed Wilson
or Wiley in democratic administra-
tion was voted down. not because of
disapproval of the work Of Wiley, but
because Of desire to shelve the whole
matter.
ut was one Of the best meetings we
ever had" said Mr.. Barney, "and we
kept politics out until Just at the close.
On my suggestion, we had framed 1t
up to divide the offices and avoid any
friction. Then In the resolutions COM
mittee, the Wileyites prepared q reso-
luton laudatory OF Wiley. I notified
them 1t would - 6ought on the Moor.
We said We did not want any resolu-
tion, either endorsing one or the other
| and that It was time TO leave that old
row to be settled in Washington. They
brought up their resolution and we
voted 1t down and out. We would have
opposed any resolution favoring Will
son Just the same"
At New Orleans, and at Denver and
Duluth meetings. the Wilson Wiley
quarrel held first place. and over
shadowed everything else. The COM
missioners are divided about equally
on its merits. but now they have de-
cided 1t is none Of their business.

MISTAKE CAUSED WRECK
Tower Woman Admits Confusion Of
Telephone Messages Was Respon-
sibis for Chicago oisastsr-Trains
Held UnneesssariIy.

Chicago, July 19.-Mrs. Julia A. Will
cox, former inmate Of the Cook county
hospital for the insane at Dunnfng and
tower woman at Western Springs. the
scene of the wreck of TWO Chicago.
Burlington & Quincy trains early Sun
day morning, yesterday admitted that
she had misunderstood telephone
order and by stopping two trains, un-
necessarily. had caused the confusion
out of which the wreck occurred. Her
admission was wrung from mass Of
evasive and argumentative testimony
given at the coroner's inquest held at
La Grange.
The inquest was a fourfold investiga-
tion Of the disaster in which thirteen
lives were lost. Besides the coroner
there were representa- at the hearing
the interstate commerce commission.
the Illinois railroad and warehouse
commissioners and officials Of the rail-
road. Representatives Of each body
were allowed the widest latitude in
getting at the facts OF the affair by
Coroner Hoffman. who personally di-
rected the inquest.
After the examination Of Mrs. Wilcox
and few other witnesses. including
Engineer. George NJ. Emo. of the
wrecked passenger train, the coroner
adjourned the hearing uvtil 9: 800 clock
Monday morning. when, II. is probable,
Mrs. Wilcox will be recalled.
In explaining the mistake which. ac-
cordiag to her own admission. was
responsible for the fatal collision, Mrs.
Wilcox said that just prior to the
wreck she received q telephone call
from Congress Park, which she under
stood to instruct her to hold passenger
train No. until freight train No. "A
had finished switching shead. 1t de-
veloped that the person who telephoned
this call merely asked her to inform
Congress Park when No. arrived.
She threw up the block signal for No.
4, which went past; then she decided
she must stop No. 2. a passenger train.
No. ran by without seeing the sig
nal and stopped $50 feet beyond the
tower. Ten minutes later the mail
train. No s, shot by. crashed into the
rear of No. 9. and the engineer was
killed, leaving the question as to
whether he saw the signal a matter Of
conjecture.
II Mrs. Wilcox had not misunderstood
the telephone call and stopped No. 4
she would not have found it necessary
to stop No. and the wreck would not
have occurred, according to her own
admission.
