WASHINGTON, d. C. April d.
Names of the winners in the plum

Twill be coming from Washington
thick and fast from now on.
The final court of referees which
passes upon the candidates and rec
commended them to the several depart
ments of the government, whence the
selections go to President Wilson for
nomination to the senate, is com
posed Of Judge Martin j. Wade, ma
tional committeeman; N. F. Reed,
state chairman and the three demo
cratic representatives, Pepper, Con-
molly and Fitzpatrick All of these ex-
icept Connolly are in Washington.
The sitting process has been going
on for several days and recommend
ations for postmasters in the eight
districts OF the state which are repre-
sented in congress by republicans will
be made first.
But, in the case OF postmast-
| ers, after the recommendations
of the organization shall have
been approved by Postmaster General
Burleson and President Wilson shall
have sent the nominations of those so
approved to the senate, then what?
When will the nominations be con
| firmed? 1t is one thing for the presi-
dent to send a nomination to the SEN
ate and quite another thing for that
nomination to be confirmed, as mum
erous postmasters and other federal
/ office holders in Iowa can testify,
Will the republican senators block
! Wilson'S appointments as the demo
Gratis in the last session blocked

representatives are asking, and even
the suggestion that the old line re
spublicans of the senate may balk and
indefinitely hold up their postoffce ap
/ pointments gives these democratic
congressme heart failure. They are
praying that the nominations for these
places may go through without long
delay.

THEY WERE AFTER HIM
Davis Says Union Iron Workers Were
Trying to Kill Him.

New York, Oct 3-What use will
be made of the startling confession
of George E. Davis, union iron worker
and dynamiter depends largely upon
the outcome of the cases of Frank NJ.
Ryan and other officers of the Inter
national association of bridge and
structural iron workers now on APP
peal in the federal courts.
Walter Drew, counsel for the Ma
tional Erectors association whose pur-
suit resulted in the arrest Of Davis
here, said today if Ryan and his as
sociates gained a new trial, Davis S
revelations would be the governm ents
most formidable weapon.
Davis told Detective Robert Foster
who arrested him that several times
while he was at work in recent
months, beams dropped near him
and just before he gave himself up in
Pittsburg, big piece of steel from
above grazed him by inches This
convinced him the union wanted to
get rid of him because they feared
he would turn traitor
Drew intimated that the arrest of
Davis and of Harry Jones. secretary
treasurer of the Iron Workers union
did not end the task of the Erectors
association though he insisted the as
sociation had no desire ruthlessly to
prosecute the union.
IF the dynamiting plot had ended
with the arrest of Ryan and his as
sociates.' he said, ito have followed
the union further would have been
bounding. But under the circum-
stances following up the case became
necessity. and could not be classed
as persecution. DavisS confession
showed clearly that the dynamite con-
spiracy was still in existence
All the men convicted at Indian
apolis are being paid $50 week by
the union whether in prison or out"
According to Drew. Davis received
no promise of immunity or any ia
VOrs in return for his sweeping admfs-
sions- He added though that the Ma
uonal ErectorS' association had been
paying him since he confessed, what
he could have earned at his trade
about 50 day. Part of this money is
going to Davis's wife, who lives here.

New York. Oct IA hundred per-

mass in an uptown hall today through
the collapse of a gallery. Several were
injured
The hall was being used as a syna-

Though many We're shaken up, the
injuries of only four were serious.
Ambulances summoned were not need
ed as only one of the injured would
go to the hospital.
The structure sagged slowly at
first, giving those below ample time
to run from under. The slow fall also
saved those it brought down from
more serious hurts. The hall was
crowded and panic prevailed until it
was determined that no one had been
killed
