Suaqested "Whackinq Bic Fund
The way that / became Interested
was when ex-senator Stadler told me
Sulzer was a good fellow, but wasn't
standing well with the organization.
Murphy. he said. nominated him be-
cause he had TO. and wasn't giving hun
anv money. He suggested that the
boys ought to get together and get m
-. whacking big fund for him. If Levy
SAYS ! collected $4,000 or $4,000 he -
utterlng "A deliberate lie"
Mr.. Levy insisted the details OF
Dersch's story were the most horrifN-
ing vet brought TO light regarding Sui
ger" Just what these horrifying de-
tails were. howeser, he would not say.
Mr.. Levy also said that yesterday
morning a prominent New York law
yer. whom he described as a friend OF
Sulzer's for the last twenty-five years,
and who once held an important pubic
Office. came TO him and said:
, will you abandon the impeachment
proceedings if Governor Sulzer will re-
sign?"
Levy said ne replied, Il have no such
power"
Levy declared this man then asked
him TO recommend that Judge Parker
or some other lawyer Of equal standing
be sent to Sulzer TO show him the folly
Of fighting.
This lawyer said to me" Levy con
( tinued. that If we showed the Dropts
we had against Sulzer it might prevent
him from going through the humilia-
ton and indignity of a needless trial.

few days

close the name of the man who visited

Another statement of Assemblyman
Levy that met with equally prompt de-
NAL was one concerning Governor Sui

Corn Has Caught Up.

Iowa's corn crop is now as gooo
as it ever was. Weather conditions
in June and the first week in July
have proven so advantageous for the
growth of corn that its percentage
of a full crop has jumped in one
month from 80 to SO per cent. DR.
George M. Chapel, section director
declared in his crop report, that an
other week of hot weather with local
showers over the larger part of the
state has brought corn fully up to
the average for this stage of the sea-
son.
The oats crop which has been
doubtful in many sections of the state
is coming along better than expect
ed, although the straw is shorter
than usual.
Following is the summary:
IS The average temperature for the
last week was about degrees above
the normal, but the rainfall was de-
ticient except in few localities in the
northern counties, where heavy local
showers, accompanied by high winds
and some hail, occurred. Over large
area in the southern part of the
state there was no rainfall. The
weather as a whole was exceptionally
favorably for haying and harvesting.
Much clover hay was put up in fine
condition, and probably half of the
winter wheat and rye is in shock in
southern sections. Oats and barley
have improved during the last ten
days and are filling we'll, although

Caught Biggest Striped Bass.

Joe L. Warner, formerly of this
city, who moved some years ago to
Stockton, California, is keeping up
his record out there as a mighty
fisherman, and from the Stockton
Daily Mail of July LIST we learn that
he recently caught the largest strip
ed bass ever caught in that section,
the fish weighing AN pounds. The
account of the landing of the big fish
which was accompanied by a photo
graph of it, is as follows:
Joe L. and Frank P. Warner
caught what they claim to be the
largest striped bass ever pulled from
the water. The bass, which weighed
forty-two and one-half pounds, was
hooked in the Stanislaus river Sun
day. Joe Warner estimates that the
fish's mouth was large enough to
hold an ordinary mans head.
The fishing party, which was COM
posed of Joe Warner and wife, Frank
P. Warner, A. Z. Warner and Leland
Hahn, motored to the river Sunday
morning. The party had just spread
out when Frank felt something on
the end of his line. At first he
thought he had hooked onto snag
or something, but the fish began to
pull away and finally Frank had to
follow it into the water, as his line
was only short one.
After the fish had pulled him out
into the middle of the stream, he
called for help and was answered by
Joe, who walked right out in the
water, not having time enough to
take his shoes off, and sat down on
the fish as it went between his legs.
After wrestling swith the two
Warmers for almost an hour, the fish
had gotten fairly tired and they sue
ceeded in landing it, but not before
they had both been covered from
head to foot with water.
The fish was shown to member of
the Nails staff and they also had
the photograph taken of it immedi-
ately SO as to prove the size of the

Ship Trunks by Rule.

baggage is now shipped by rule
rather than by weight. The new
law is in effect against trunks meas
length or height.
The baggagemen Of the country
are armed with rulers. If a trunk is
suspected of exceeding the forty-five
inch limit the trunk is measured.
What amounts to fine is imposed
on trunks which do not come within
the limit. Every inch in excess of
the standard length is charged for at
the same rate that would be charged
for five pounds of excess baggage.
This is regardless of the number of
tickets. 1t costs twenty-five cents ex-
ira to ship an extra inch of trunk
to New York. Five extra inches of
trunk from Leon to New York cost
$1.25. A sixty inch trunk will be
the same as seventy.five pounds of
excess baggage and will cost 81 ex-
ira if shipped to New York It will
cost double this sum if shipped to
San Francisco.
If the trunk has an oval top the
measurements from the floor to the
dome of the trunk The embargo is
not directed against any particular
class Of trunks, but is aimed against
all large and unwieldy sizes. II
the trunk is within the standard OF
measurements, $50 pounds is carried
FREQ. It trunk exceeds the limit
and the owner is gone q G. O. D.
slip Is pasted on the trunk and the.
collection is made at the other end.
Local baggagemen declare that they.
have experienced no trouble % y re-
suit 81 the new rule.
