Likely That Collections For Year Will

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. Jan. livery likely the
automobile taxes for Iowa will aggre-
gate three quarters Of a million dollars
for this year. The total received by the
secretary of state for 1912 was S46o-
S9545, which with other fees of his
office made total collection of $64S,-
40562. The automobile business has
been steadily and surely increasing at
a rapid rate. There are many VINO be-
lieve the legislature would be justified
in making a still higher charge for the
annual automobile numbers and that
it would be especially proper In view
Of the demand on behalf of the automo-
bile owners for a larger expenditure
for road building.

thority Over Them-NotabIe Victory
For Western Shippers.
Special to Times-Republican

Special to Times-R Republican.
Des Moines, Jan 1.-Meager reports
as to the scope of the decision of the
interstate commerce commission IN
the matter of classification No. 81 in
dictate that the contentious of west
ern shippers as presented by Clifford
Thorne and the commission, were in
the main agreed to by the deciding
body If the decision is as sweeping
as indicated it is one of the most i'm
portant ever rendered by the commits
sion at Washington.
The commission decided definitely in
favor of liberal provision for mixtures
in carload lots. This was one Of the
matters which caused a great amount
of discussion. Under the new CLASH
fication these mixtures were all to be
abolished. A dealer could not have, for
instance, 500 pounds Of binding Irvine
sent in a carload of harvesters, with
out paying the less than carload rates
on both.
That which appears most important,
however, is the announcement from
the commission that the preparation Of
classifications must be regarded as a
public function. This will lead to the
adoption by congress of the Kenyon
bill to give the interstate commerce
commission the authority to make
claSsifications.
While it has been difficult matter
for the consuming public either to get
any clear idea OF the case involving
No. 81 or to comprehend how closely
it affects every one. the fact is. as ex-
planned by those who have studied the
matter deeply. that the case is one of
the most important ever presented to
the commission.

STRANGER S|EzED
AS HUSBAND
BY WOMAN
UNKNOWN MAN SPENDS EVEN
ING WITH WOMAN WHO HAS
HIM ARRESTED LATER.

Chicago, April 6.-After making the
acquaintance of an attractive young
woman at fashionable downtown
hotel tonight and passing an agree
able evening in her society, a we'll
dressed young man whose identity still
remains in doubt, found himself sud-
denly under arrest and, protesting at
every step taken to the police station
on the charge of having abandoned a
six months bride in Portland, Ore, a
city he insists he never has seen.
The story, as told to the police, is as
follows:
Mrs. Jack Lewis and her sister,
a Miss NeWcomb, both formerly of In
diana, while seated in the hotel lobby
noticed the young man as he passed
them. Springing to her feet in surprise,
Mrs. Lewis exclaimed, Isn't your name
Jack Lewis? You're my husband!'' -
No, I'm not your husband, although
my name is Jack, but not Lewis he
replied.
"The young woman was not easily
convinced, and after a long conversa-
tion excused herself to her sister and
mans courteous invitation to take din
ner with him. AS they left the hotel
at the conclusion of the meal they
We're met by the sister and the escort,
in company with two detectives, who
promptly arrested the supposed
Lewis.
Mrs. Lewis declares he is the man
who married her September 4 last in
San Francisco, took her to Portland,
Ore, and there deserted here Septem-
ber Is. taking with him her jewelry
valued at $500.
Jack" insists that he had never
seen his alleged wife before tonight
and that he had lived in San Francisco
Is years ago, but that he had never
been in Portland. He has steadfastly
refused to say where he lived in Chi
cago or to give his right name. There
was nothing in his clothing to reveal
his identity An attempt will be made
tomorrow in court to unravel the mys-
terry.
