PREPARING TO FIGHT

o. A. Talbot left last night for
Des Moines, called there to assist o.
3. Towne, Industrial Association man
ager in the rate conference which
is being held at the capital city. The
action OF the railroads In disobeying
the orders of the interstate COM
merce commission and submitting
rate tariffs from the coast into Iowa
instead OF from Chicago as was ex
pected. has precipitated fight in
which the Iowa railroad commission
aided by the shippers will endeayor
to secure reasonable rates.
When the proposition was submit
ted by the roads yesterday it was
found that tariffs involving Keokuk,
rates from the coast into Keokuk, and
from Keokuk to the coast were in the
budget. Other tariffs into Iowa were
submitted instead of the proposed
schedule from Chicago to interior
Iowa points. and proportionate rates
from the river
that schedules of rates be submitted.
It came as surprise to the Iowa COM
mission and to the representatives
from the various commercial organiza-
tons in the state to have the rate
tariffs introduced at the meeting
This action is considered by the
Iowa railroad commission as disobed.
lent to the commands Of the inter.
state commerce commission, and prep.
aiations were made to fight the action
The Iowa commission expects to
go over the tariffs submitted and to
Gull out the rates which will be the
most reasonable for all parties con
cerned. These rates will be submit
ted to the representatives of the var
ii,-s cities present. The other rates
which have been made for the rail
roads best interests will be Tough
Iby the commission in this instanc,
as in the past. The Iowa board will b
assisted in the fight by the rate ex
Iperts of the various commercial club
lof the state.

DEAD A WEEK.
Housekeeper Found in Bed by 5usi- ness Caller.

Sarah Randall, a. woman aged S6, was found dead at the farm of the late Giles Humphrey in North Ston- ington Friday afternoon by Edward Wallace, who was going to the place to sac about buying a wagon. Finding the door ajar, he entered the house, where he discovered the young wo- man in bed. He at once notified Dr. Robert Harrington, medical exami1. CT, who pronounced death due to pneu- monia. When found life had been ex- tinct for a week or so
 Little is known of the woman, other than that she was a. housekeeper for Giles Humphrey, until he died several weeks ago as the result of being thrown from a team, and since then she has been living in the house alone. It had been fntirnated that the woman had gone to North Stonington from White Rock, but this was not verified.
 AS the woman was apparently in poor circumstances and no relatives or friends are known to the authorities, she will be cared for by the town, burial taking place in Union cemetery today 6Monday).
