SHIP LOAD OF IOWA
CORN MAY BE SENT
Governor Clarke to Consider ths
Proposition Of Sending Grain
to Belgium.

H. i = i Z fila e
When Governor Clarke returns to
Des Moines. probably Wednesday or
Thursday. the plan Of making up .
shipload OF corn in 1oya to be sent to
the starving Belgians WILL be placed
before him. Although something has
been said with reference to the
scheme in letters sent to him. the
governor has been on the move FOR
the last few days and has not had
time to consider it. The real propo-
sition will be discussed with the Des
Moines enthusiasts next week, ac-
cording to word given out at the capt.
toll.
w. C. Brown. treasurer Of state, In
dicated that he will act as treasurer
of the Belgian fund, if the people OF
the state desire him to do so. 1t is
proposed that persons who are unable
to give corn, send in to the central
committee whate-er money they wish
to give to the cause.
Quincy A. Willis, deputy treasurer,
has figured that II each farmer were
to give ten bushels Of corn to every
quarter section OF land, each town
ship would produce one and one-half
carloads Of corn This is more than
the promoters have asked for. They
have asked for one car load Of corn
from each county.
D. S. Chamberlain Of Des Mcines
has launched the movement. He pro-
poses on behalf OF his firm to give
the first carload OF corn.

The interest in the county ticket
and the non-partisan ticket so far as

ever, somewhat of shadowing of this
ticket through the interest in the
Cummins- Connolly race for the sen

The returns will be late. There can
be no question Of that. II anything

Circulars shorId React.

The campaign in Keokuk and Lee
county has been for the most part a
lean one. The first semblance OF
mud appeared yesterday and today
when some scurrilous statements were
circulated on some of the candidates.
These circulars at the eleventh hour
when there is no chance for the can
dida.., attacked to answer them, are
the heighth Of dirty politics and
should react on the persons who are
getting them out, and should help the
case of the candidate attacked.
In one instance this has proven the
case already. Circulars distributed
this morning and which contain
statements which can be seen are
false on their face, have had the ef-
feet of bringing support to the cand1-
date attacked. Some others may be
attacked tonight in circulars which
are said to be in process Of printing.
AS the editorial in yesterdays Gate
City pointed out, whether against re-
publican Or democrat or whatever
party, it is to be hoped that these
scurrilous attacks will react in favor

TAKE AVAILABLE CASH
AND ESCAPE IN AUTO
Two Highwaymen Hold Up Officers
of Homestead National Bank
at Pittsburgh.

PITTSBURGH. August 1s.-Two men
entered the Homestead National Bank
yesterday covered officers with revolvers,
took all available cash and fed, escap-
ing in an automobile.
Most of the tellers and clerks were at
LUNCH. and Cashier ]. H. Thoarner and
George Turner. bookkeeper, were the
only officials in the banking room. Sew
eral depositors stood before the tellers'
windows and Turner and Thoerner were
conversing with them when the two men
entered. Both were heavily armed and
commanded Hands up!"
While one covered the officers and pa
irons Of the bank. the other robber went
behind the desk, scooped together all
the cash in sight. jammed 1t hurriedly
into a hand satchel and then the two,
with guns still covering the victims,
backed out the door.
At the curb stood an automobile belong
ing to preacher. Into this the robbers
jumped and made their escape.
The robbers were overtaken in Miff1in
township by Constables Percy Smith and
John Dixon. The constables opened fire
on the robbers as the latter were aban-
doning the stolen automobile and getting
into a high powered machine apparently
in waiting, with chauffeur. The rob-
bers returned the fire, dropping Smith
with a bullet in the leg and Dixon with
a shot in the shoulder. A posse that
came upon the wounded officers In the
road, but all trace Of the robbers again
was lost

Audiences that taxed the capac city Of
the house were on hand yesterday aft
ernoon and last night to witness the
opening of the burlesque season of
1914-15 at the Gayety Theater and to
extend a hearty welcome to Phil OFT
and the Honeymoon Girls. Everything
was spick and span for the opening, the
playhouse having been redecorated dur
ing the summer. Manager Peck and
the members Of his stan were the
recipients Of many congratulations A
buttonhole bouquet was presented to
every member Of the audience.
A rafting good show has been pro-
Vtded for the opener Of the season It
consists of a two-act extravaganza en-
titled The Girl, the Man and the
Widow" and, although plot is almost
negligible. 1t gives an excuse to fntro-
duce number of capable entertainers.
Phil OFT has lost none Of his cunning

Rowland. an Irish comedian, is an ex-
ceiient running mate. Saul Powder
and Bert Capman. two clever enter
tainers. have a good act. in which they
present some novel eccentric dancing.

Bell have the leading feminine roles.
and dances and sings In a way that
wins much applause. Miss Nelson AND

tertained again with Grace Hayward's
stage adaptation Of George Barr Nc
Cutcheon's romantic drama, 'Graus-
tark"
Through five acts Of almost ridicu-
lous romance, tragedy. come6y--and
incongruity-the players held the at
tention of the audience, interested in
the untangling of the love skein that
had enmeshed Grenfau Lorry. a brisk,
happy-go-lucky. ubiquitous American,
and the Princess Yetive. ruler of
Graustark. torn between her love for
the man and devotion to her debt

Carl Brickert carried the role Of the
ideal American" with swing and
manner that was convincing. He
seemed really to revel in frequent op-
portunities he had to rush to the de-
tense Of the troubled princess, whom
ne had come to know as one Sophie
Gluggenschlocker.
Miss Jewel, at once the princess and
the woman In love, played with ardor

court scenes and with abandon the

lent splendor to the throne pictures.

One Of the best actors was killed of
early in the play-Leslie Montgomery
as Prince Lorenz. He was merely
given an opportunity to stagger to the
footlights. make an insulting toast. get
knocked down. rush out for his weap-
ons and plunge in again to a death
scene before the throne, his entrance
hastened by bullet. During his brief
period on the stage he contributed
much action to the piece. William D.
Corbett played the villain role. and as
the pseudo Prince Gabriel of DAVIS
bergen seemed to have realistic and
strong aversion to seeing the princess
nestle in the arms of the American.
Stanley James upheld In dignity and de-
votton an ever-present watchfulness
as the Baron Dangloss over his prin-
cess. And the most humble and In
conspicuous role in the entire cast was
carried through with cleyerness OF
action and patois that gave promise
that Miss Virginia Hardy, who ap-
peared as Theresa, Yetive's maid. will
soon be found worthy Of better parts.
Others who assisted in rounding out
a satisfactory cast were Theodore
Hardy. John Ellis. Oliver Cooper.

OPPOSES COMPROMISE
WITH REACT|0NAR|ES
Col. Roosevelt Opens Campaign in
Massachusetts-Raps Old
Parties,

BOSTON. August 1s-~No compro-
mise' was the slogan with which Col
Theodore Roosevelt opened the polit-
ical campaign in Massachusetts yes
terday. He declared there should be no
compromise with reactionaries in any
form, while on the other hand the
party would welcome those of the rank
and file of other organisations who re-
fused to follow the old leaders.
The men who were responsible for
the Payne-A1drich bill, he asserted.
also are responsible for tho present
tariff measure and should be opposed.
Col Roosevelts speech was to have
been delivered at a progressive rally
and field meet at Fenway Park, but
rain drove the crowd to shelter in the
arena
Proft-Sharing in Business.
Speaking of what he termed the
permanent problem of Massachusetts,
Mr.. Roosevelt said:
This problem must be, SO far as 1t
concerns the great Industries in which
the immense majority of wage workers
are engaged, to combine efficiency with
the proper sharing of the rewards of
that efficiency. There will be no re-
wards for anybody. no adequate wage
for the workingman, no proper service
to the public unless the business pays.
"a business run at a loss will have
to shut it's doors. No prosperity can
be passed around until the prosperity
exists. The main element in the sue
cess of any business must be efficiency,
and the wage worker must do all In
his power to contribute to this effi-
cheney.
Efficiency and Wages
"But the wage worker who by his
efficiency adds to the productivity must
have that added efficiency recognized
in increased wages. The benefit must
in part accrue to him exactly as It in
part accrues to the man who furnishes
the capital, without which the business
could not go on, and in part to tho
general public.
80 In every business it must be rec
ognized that there are those three in
terests, and each one of those inter-
ests must receive Justice. Public opin-
ion must recognize this fact; and gov
ernment, which in this country is
based on public opinion. must also rec
ognize it and endeavor to secure its
practical realization"
