FORT DODGE MERCHANTS sTuhc.
MANY Merchants Lose From $40 to $25
on Old Bogus Check Game.


Fort Dodge. April 7.--Three men, the
most clever that have ever worked here
were discovered. but not caught yester-
day. 1t was estimated that they duped
local merchants for something over $l0O
during the business days Thursday and
Friday.
The game used was the old one OF
buying something and pushing bogus
check, but they were so clever about
their actions, and so careful OF the Sc
lection they made, that they were not
suspected until the merchants tried 70
cash the checks at local banks.
In most of the stores visited. an ex-
pensive article was ordered. as suit
of clothes, or watch. and an INSTALL
ment was paid with q check. and the
change returned. In most cases, the
article purchased was to have been de-
livered.
Whenever any doubt was shown by
the merchants. the check book showing
a balance of about $500 on local bank
was shown. and a. the work was al
ways done after banking hours. the
merchant was compelled to take a
chance.

Birmingham, Ala, April 7.-Incom
plete returns from yesterdays demo-
cratic primaries indicated today that
Oscar w. Underwood defeated Rich
mond Pearson Hobson for United
States senator from Alabama.
L. B. Musgrove, campaign manager
for Congressman Richmond Pearson
Hobson. conceded Oscar W. Under
woods nomination to the United States
senate in statement made at 1880
o'clock this morning. Mr.. Hobson left
Birmingham today for Washington.
Campaign Has Been Vigorous.
Personalities have figured largely in
the campaign between Underwood and
Hobson. Mud singing has predom-
mated.
Many friends Of the cause Hobson
espoused resent the character Of the
attacks he has made on his opponent
Not that plenty Of mud singing has
not been done among Underworld s
supporters. and particularly in connec-
ton with literature sent out to the vot-
ers. r.
The regular campaign managers say
they are not responsible for the worst
Of this literature. The thing that ag-
sravates from the Hobson side is that
the candidate himself. being constantly
In the limelight, has INDUCED in per-
sonal attacks on Underwood.
Elections in Alabama seldom are
close; the voters usually exhibit a de-
cided preponderance Of sentiment OF
opinion one way or the other. and four
times out Of Ave conservatism prevails.
The side taken by the wheel horses OF
politics almost Invariably wins and II
seems that about s5 per cent Of exper-
fenced county and district leaders are
enlisted with the Underwood cause

SECRECY 10 BE BARRED
Fifteen Days of Public Hearings to Be
Hold by Senate Committee on Sims
Bill to Repeal Canal Tolls Exemption
Clause.

Washington, April Fifteen days
of public hearings, beginning on April
9. on the Sims bill to repeal the Pan
ANA tolls exemption. were decided
upon today by the senate canals COM
mittee.
Publicity for the deliberations on the
bill to repeal toll exemption for Amer
ican ships passing thru the Panama
canal was determined upon today by
the senate committee on interoceanic
canals. which will begin consideration
of the controversy tomorrow IN all its
aspects.
Senator O'Gorman, chairman of the
committee. decided upon open sessions
at the outset after conference with
his colleagues. Whether hearings are
to be held has not been decided, but
this will be determined when the house
repeal bill and various compromise
senate measures are formally taken up.
How long the committee will delib-
crate on the issue before making a re-
port to the senate no ono would predict
last night, but administration leaders
let 1t be known that any effort to pro-
long the preliminary consideration
would be opposed esI. to the extreme
OF moving to discharee the committee
from consideration Of the subject.
Senator O'Gorman. leading democrat
opponent OF the repeal, and others who
join with him in the fight still insist.
h0I hot
delay the measure In committee. When
the Issue reaches the floor of the senate
various forces at work to complicate
the situation make it improbable that
vote can be reached for several weeks.
Administration supporters pressing
for minimum Of delay in getting the
Sims bill out OF the committee pro-
fessed to De satisfied with the plan for
fifteen days of hearing provided added
time was not reserved for considera-
tion Of the bill after hearings are over.
The hearings will give opportunity for
threshing out various amendments,
principal among them one to reaffirm
the sovereignty Of the United States
over the canal zone and its right under
the treaty to grant an exemption to
coastwise ships if it desired to do so.
The controversy continued to eclipse
interest In all other business in the
senate chamber. Senate Works. re-
publican, of California make lengthy
speech analyzing the treaty obligations
Of the United States.
The granting Of this exemption !s a
purely domestic matter" he said. there
should be no discrimination against
Great Britain because no foreign nation
can enter into the coastwise trade.
Some OF our own representatives have
out-Britished the British in their
claims for that nation"
Senator Brandegee, republican, cast
the only vote against the hearings, say
ing he did so because he believed the
committees action would have no
weight. He urged that the repeal bill
be returned to the senate without any
report and that the fight be transferred
to the floor.
The committee adjourned until Tues
day with the understanding that the
authors Of various bills and resolutions
on the subject will then be heard pend
ing the arrival of witnesses from New
Orleans and the Pacific coast

the Associated Charities Office on the

that will bring the greatest results.
She is ready now to give any man an
hours work in exchange for fifteen
cent warm meal, if he but apply at the
Office. The tramp question has been
one of the primary things which Miss
Brown has attempted to adjust in her
work, which she is just getting started
here, and which promises to bring such
excellent results She is not ready to
predict or prophesy just what will or
what will not be the results of her
plans but she is anxious to give the
plan a trial and urgently requests that
everyone will work with her in the
matter.

meeting, said:
AT Des Moines last week the legis-
lauve committee recommended that
the limit for spring shooting to be in
Guided in the proposed state law be
March 25.'
These newspaper accounts evidently
reflect the sentiment expressed at the
meeting but does this committee truly
reflect the sentiment of true sports
men of Iowa who believe in giving
wild life chance to perpetuate itself?
And how does the enlightened citizen
ship that enjoys the sight of living
creatures with others of natures
treasurers view the stand of COM
mittee that would put Iowa on rec
ord as refusing to endorse the national
migratory bird law, one of the most
beneficent measures ever enacted?
The economic value of fish and
game has been too little appreciated
in Iowa and grave responsibility rests
with the incoming Legislature. With
the rapid increase in the number of
gunners and fishermen and startling
decrease in number and quantities of
game birds and fishes few years
more of the present pernicious laws
will place wild life in our state almost
beyond restoration.
