AIIerton, Iowa; Missouri Man
Meets Death.

Allerton, Jan. 2O.-(Special) -
Train No. IL, east bound on the Rock
Island, known as the Golden State
limited, was wrecked by spreading
rails 100 yards east of the Allerton
depot last night. One passenger, Stan
ley Morgan of Altamount, Mo-, was
killed Nine were injured. Six coaches
and the engine left the track.
The train was travelling at the rate
Of As miles an hour, as it does not
stop at this station. Just after passing
the depot the rails spread and the
tender of the engine left the track,
derailing the six coaches. One OF the
rails snapped and sprang upward,
piercing one of the coaches. The pas
senger who was killed and those who
were injured were in this coach.
OF the nine injured only three were
seriously hurt. They were W. A. Tre-
pania of Hayward, Wis, Hugh West
of Altamont, Mo-, and Harry Boman
of Wichita, Kas. Boman was hurled
through the front door Of the smoker
by the shock. Morgan, the passenger
who lost his life, was killed by being
struck by the rail as it pierced the
smoking car. This car overturned but
the others remained upright.
The three injured named above
we're cared for at Allerton. The other
passengers left on the relief train
sent from Trenton. Among the six
passengers slightly hurt were Con-
ductor Hanna and Ottie Kemp of Co.
lumbus Junction, Iowa.

Benefit by Pepper Bill.
TBY e. H, HANSON.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 20.-Repre-
sentative Jim" Good of Cedar Rapids
has tucked another powder trust

The Notifications bills, as reported
to the house on Thursday, carried
with 1t several provisions Of vital In
terest to the tax payers. provisions
which are the direct result of Mr.

mittee on appropriations and of the
subcommittee which drew up the
Notifications bill 't
A saving of at least s45O,OOO will be
made in the next fiscal year as re-

In the first place, the Iowa man sue.
ceeded in getting the committee to
reduce the price 1t will pay for
powder from 60 cents to SO cents. This
means that on 100000 pounds the
government will save at least $4,000.
When the hearings were started on
the BILL Mr. Good announced that he
would oppose any price higher than
so cents for powder. A compromise
was finally reached on SO cents. the
Iowan agreeing to accept that and not
to fight the bill on the floor. AS the
Notifications bill has always gone
through without fight heretofore
and as the democratic majority would
naturally favor it's committees appro-
priation bill, Mr.. Good chose the better
Of valor and accepted the seven sent re-

peril any reduction by holding out for

Explosion Case is Again

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 20.-Clarence
s. Darrow, lawyer, author. union labor
advocate and defender of labor leaders
accused of serious crimes, was placed
on trial today for the second time on
charge of having attempted to cor

After a trial lasting nearly all last
summer, Darrow was acquitted Of hav

man called in the trial of James B.
Mcnamara, now serving life sen
tence at San Quentin penitentiary for
blowing up the Los Angeles Times
building. Today the lawyer was put
on trial on the charge of having
bribed Robert F. Balm, the first juror
chosen in the same case.
Balm and his wife testified at the
Lockwood trial that Bert H. Franklin
a detective employed by the Mcnamara
defense, had given him $400 with the
promise of $4,000 more If he qualified
as Juror and voted for the acquittal
of Mcnamara. Franklin who was Civ

CAR SITUATION
is NOT CLEARED

Des Moines, Jan. 20.-(Special.)-
Dwight Lewis, assistant commerce
counsel, attended a meeting Of the
Grain Dealers association at TT. Dodge
as the representative of the railroad
commission, for the purpose Of plan
ming for rule with regard to the dis
tribution of grain cars among shippers
in time of shortage of cars. There is
something Of a controversy on be-
tween the cooperative dealers or
farmers and the line elevator people,
but neither side is able to frame up a
rule that will fit every case and suit
them. The railroad companies have
rules but admit that as matter Of
fact the distribution OF cars is left
largely to the agents to meet condi-
tions as they find them.

KENYON WILL
BERE.E[ECTEO
TO THE SENATE
Vote Will be Taken Separ-
ately Tomorrow and
Jointly Wednesday,; Cum
ningham Busy.
Try ORA WILLIAMS.

Des Moines. Jan. 20.-William 8.
Kenyon having already been desig'
mated by Iowa voters as the man to pe
elected to succeed himself In tha
senate OF the United States, will twice
be elected to seat in congress tnls
week.
Some time tomorrow the house and
the senate in session separately Will
vote on choice for the position OF
senator in the congress. In both the
house and the senate William 5. Ken
yon will receive majority OF the
votes. A record will be made OF this
fact and in each house 1t Will be de-
clared that so far as that house can
do SO Senator Kenyon has been re-
elected. .sas
One the following day the two
houses will meet in joint convention
and President Harding will preside:
The secretary Of the senate Will read
that part Of the senate journal show
ing the election of Mr.. Kenyon. The
clerk of the house will read that part
of the house journal Of the previous
day showing the election of Mr.. Ken
Won. Then the joint convention Will
proceed to ballot for senator and the
Joint convention will again elect Mr..
Kenyon to be senator.
AS to whether or not a Joint roll
call is necessary, in view OF the pre-
vious election by both houses, there Is
some difference Of opinion, but at
least it does no harm. The double elec-
ton has been followed for NUMBER
of years.
It is expected that Senator Kenyon
will appear before the joint conven-
ton on Thursday and deliver an ad-
dress. That is customary and expected,
and it will be complied with unless
something unforeseen occurs. The very
brief address Of Senator Kenyon less
than two years ago is remembered by
all the old members as one OF the
finest speeches of the kind on record.
Cunningham a Busy Man.
There is suspicion that Speaker
Cunningham broke the Sabbath by
working on the committee assign
ments for the house. as he promises
to have them ready for announcement
when the house meets on Thursday
forenoon There is good deal of quiet
speculation among the members as to
who will get the chairmanships OF the
important committees. Guessing on
senate committee chairmanships is
easy as compared to that in the house,
for in the senate there is custom as
to precedence and the fact that always
more than half the membership Is OF
previous experience. Presumably. how
ever, the four or five big chairman
ships in the house will be taken from
the list of veteran members like Klay,
Larrabee. Dawson, Halgrims. Dixon,
Jacobs. Stipe. Whitney and others.
President Harding had 1t In mind,
but perhaps lacked the nerve to do it.
to make an effective reform in senate
committees by naming eight or ten
good committees to handle the really
big subjects before the legislature,
then to name one catch.all committee
to handle all the little stuff and the
great mass Of unimportant bills that
flood the legislature. Some day such a
reform will be effected and better re-

AGRICULTURE
SCHEDULE HAS
BEEN REACHED
Cane, Rice. and Pineapple
Interests Discuss Tariff
With Ways and Means
Committee in House.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 20 The
agriculture schedule Of the tariff came
up today before the house ways and
means committee.
Representative Payne, who was
chairman Of the committee when the
present tariff was started on its path
through congress, and who Is now
ranking republican on the committee,
estimated that the consumption value
Of articles on which the rates OF duty
were increased or decreased in the
present law was:
. Articles on which duties were de-
creased, $4s3, 3,43O,637; articles on
which duties were increased, $4,-
3SO,4S3
Democratic members of the commit
tee stated today that there would be
material reductions from the present
law on many articles in the schedule.
Growers Seek Protection.
r. Tinersmith of Baltimore asked
for uniform rate of 20 per cent ad
valorem on pineapples. He claimed
that under the present. law, imposing
higher rate, the Hawaiian pineapple
packers had nearly and would soon en-
tirely secure monopoly Of the trade
in pineapples to which sugar is added.
w. Durkee of New York, for the
American Spice association, wanted
the present tariff on spices to remain.
R. NJ. Mccormick Of Baltimore con-
tended that prohibitive rate on
spices should be maintained for pro-
lection against impure food products
from abroad.
Representative Broussard of Louisi-
ana, w. B. Dunlap of Beaumont, Tex,
president of an association of rice pro-
ducers in Texas. Louisiana and Arkan-
sas, and -S,-I Locke -Rreaux OF New Or
leans. wanted the present tariff main
tanned to protect rice growers against
labor of the orient.
Breaux and members of the commit
tee argued over the comparative need
of duties on rice and sugar. Finally
Representative Longworth asked:
what would be the effect on Louisi-
ana OF making rice and sugar free OF
duty? .,...ss -..
"If the effect is so serious as to an
nihilate the rice and sugar business
then Louisiana would be in condition
of distress such as has not occurred
since the civil war"

Washington, d. c., Jan. 2O.-Revers-

court today permitted the order OF the

to Mobile and Alabama interior points
to stand.
The theory advocated by the govern
ment that the interstate commerce
commission had absolute jurisdiction
over evidence in rate cases to the eN-
clusion of the courts. particularly the
commerce court, was struck down by
the supreme court in deciding that the
commerce court had right to eX-
