Chicago.-It Is announced that Roger
Bresnahan, who has signed a contract
to manage the Cubs for three years. is
to be a playing manager. Ond he Will
therefore catch many games. Just
what effect this will have On Jimmy
Archer is undecided. and there are
rumors that Archer Is dickering with
the Federal league. That Bresnahan
would become the manager Of the Chi
cage National league team has been
the general belief since he was re-
leased from the management of the
st. Louis Cardinals two years ago. He
is an aggressive manager and is still
a good catcher and a dangerous man

Des Moines. Nov. s0--Labor organi-
cations of Des Moines that are mem
bers Of the trades and labor assembly
have started a fight against the pro-
posed bringing of 10000 Belgians to
Iowa that they threaten to make state
wide.
The plan to bring Belgians to this
state, to farm the present waste
lands in it, is fathered by the Greater
Iowa Association. and the trades and
labor assembly has appointed a COM
Greater Iowa convention at Ames
the proposal.
The committee Is headed by E. G.
McNeal, carpenter. Other members
are L. o. Pouchot. former market
master, Tim O'Connell, w. H. Clark
and ]. G. Cunningham.
The Des Moines Trades and Labor
assembly will not allow 100000 Bel
gians to be brought to Iowa to COM
pete with Iowa laborers, many of
whom are now out of work. and to
become public charges without one
of the biggest fights Iowa ever heard
Of" said Mr.. MeNeal.
Labor conditions in the state are
bad enough now. without throwing
another 100000 of the unfit of Bel
GUM into the state. OF 1000 car
penters in Des Moines nearly 400
now are idle. and 1t is the same in
other industries. There is no de-
nand for farm labor now and there
never is year around demand for
farm labor.
I'VE do not oppose aiding the un-
fortunate Belgians. and we do not OPP
post the coming of those Belgians
that will arrive in the natural course
OF immigration, but we are against
dumping a horde Of immigrants in a
territory that has not the facilities
to support them properly. Such Bel
gians as we could get now would be
old men. young men and physical
misflts-because all the able bodied
men are in the armies. A large pro-
portion of them would become public
charges soon after they arrived in the
state.
1.-THE Greater Iowa Association Is
composed largely Of big manufacture
ing interests, and it is the view of the
laboring men of Des Moines that they
would not be averse to the importa
ton OF large quantities of cheap la
Dor from Europe, that they might again
dictate the terms of employment"

Canvas, Of Var Sentiment.

Much talk Is heard about American
sympathy in the European war. but
thus far 1t has had no basis except
hearsay or very limited personal OBJ
servation. Do majority of the
American press or the American people
favor the Germans or the allies? To
approach an answer to this question
we have obtained statments from
between three hundred and fifty and
four hundred editors, telling their own
attitudes and the feelings of their com
munities toward the warning nations.
We need hardly say that we give the
result Of this inquiry entirely without
craftsmanship, and purely for our read :

country from the Atlantic to the Pa

border.

INVENTOR SCHROEDER,
FAMOUS, DIES PAUpER
Made Several Fortunes and
Spent Them on Research
On Eve of Another.

Chicago. Ill. May Carl Schroeder.
civil engineer. chemist and inventor,
who made several fortunes and expend-
ed them in the interest of science, died
yesterday on the eve OF perfecting an
invention which he had expected would
bring him still another fortune. Friends
will pay the expenses of his funeral,
which was held today.
Friends say Schroeder devoted nearly
20 hours a day to work in his little
laboratory. As engineer he superin-
tended the construction of modern Of
flee buildings in New York and Chi
cago. AS a chemist he evolved formu-
las for water proofing, which are in ex-
tensive use today. AS an inventor, he
patented a coke over and a starch
which makes lace curtains fireproof.
In the role Of inventor Schroeder had
perfected q dry distillation process OF
disposing of mixed refuse and had
planned to give a demonstration Of 1t
to city officials in charge of the city's
garbage problem, within the next few
days.
MI. Schroeder was born in Germany
6S years ago. He served through the
Franco-Prussian war as an officer Of
engineers and WAS decorated with the
iron cross for bravery and for engi-
neering feats.

WOULD POSTPONE
TOLLS BILL VOTE

Washington, May 4.-Senator Borah
today offered a resolution to postpone
action on the Panama tolls repeal bill
until the question had been practical
ly" voted on in the election OF the en-
senators next November.
Norris Opens Fire.
Withouth waiting for the Panama
canal tools exemption bill to be called
formally before the Senate, Senator
Norris began debate on the subject
with an appeal for a resort to arbitra-
ton. He favored the House repeal
measure. with an amendment express
ly stating the United States waived no
rights thereby, but called upon Presi-
lent Wilson to invite Great Britain to
arbitrate the dispute as to the right Of
the United States to discriminate in
favor of its W vessels.
The exemption Of coastwise vessels
from tolls, Senator Norris contended,
amounted to nothing less than a sub
sidy to a class Of vessels already en-
toying a monopoly, and not deserving 1t
nearly as much RB American vessels
engaged in foreign trade and competing
with all the ships of the word. He
argued that the exemption would not
benefit shipper or consumer because
LAG NIAiSA ShSC VI ~ Gust W lEdISpOFLh~
ton by rail and water was so great
80 Ia per cent-that the exemption
would not affect the water rate.
Same as Free Railroad.
He insisted the government had no
more right to pay che legitimate cost of
transportation Of goods across the 18th
mus than 1t had to build a free rail-
road across the continent.
senator Norris criticized the position
ta.en by Senator Lodge, that the Uni
ted States has a right to discriminate
in favor OF its w vessels, but should
surrender chat right out Of respect to
the opinion of the civilized world. On
the other hand, the Nebraska senator
said that to decline to arbitrats the
question would be to reverse the pre-
tense the United States has been
making in the family OF nations for
years.
1t would not do, he argued, to admit
the weakness Of the case by saying the
civilized world vas against the United
States, and therefore a fair tribunal of
arbitration could not be procured He
suggests the court of arbitration con-
sist OF three members of the supreme
court Of the United States and three
judges Of the highest court of England.
with possibly the president of Switzer-
land or a citizen of that country Sc
lected by the president Of Switzerland,
sitting as the seventh member.
Il should expect the decision Of such
a tribunal to De unanimous" he added.

Ing its president. were sentenced today
to 30 days in the county jail for con-
tempt OF court for refusing to obey the

prior to the appointment or the Off
Gals The court ordered the board of
education to recognize as members the

TRUST CHARGE DENIED
BY SOUTHERN PACIFIC

Salt Lake City, Utah, May 5.-The
Southern Pacific company filed yes
terday in the United States district
court it's answer in the government
suit to divorce the Central Pacific
from the Southern Pacific. The an
swer, after specifically denying all al
legations that the Sherman antitrust
law has been violated, points out not
only that the two lines We're originally
built, operated and developed as one
road, but that, as far back as 1898, the
United States government, itself, plu, =
tically recognized the combination L!
wholesome.
1t asserts that in the Joint operation
Of these lines through trains have beer
run by the most direct or convenie'l
route without reference to their owY
ership, n that any separation Of tx
Central Pacific lines from those OF the
Southern Pacific cannot now be had
without detriment to both properties,
and without impairing and incor-
v~eniencing the public service and a.
communities through which the lilIes
pass.

STEAMER SIBERIA
IS SAFE IN PORT

Toxic, May 4.--Great relief Is felt
mere at the news from Manila that the
Pacific mail steamer Siberia, reported
yesterday by wireless to have been in
great peril off thec coast OF Formosa, Is
safe at Manila
No satisfactory explanation is avail
able in Toxic as to how the alarming
reports OF yesterday came to be dis
semlnated. The Japanese authorities
have decided to investigate. Japan has
recalled the warships she dispatched
yesterday to the aid OF the liner sup
posed to be in distress.
A dispatch from Manila received
last night said the Siberia steamed
into the port at II a. m. today after
an un~eventful voyage from Nagasaki,
which port h left April 20. Captain
Feeder, Of the Siberia, said he believed
the reports that his vessel was in dis
tress arose over confusion in the call
letters Of the steamer Persia, with
which vessel he had been in :communi-
cation. These letters are M. B.. S.,
and they doubtless were mistaken for
IS. o. s." the marine wireless appeal
for aid.
The wireless operator on board the
Siberia added that the atmospheric
conditions had been bad. making diff
cult the sending Of wireless messages.
The first reading of the
wireless calls from the Siberia evil
IDENTIFY were made on the OseZekai sta
ton in Japan. They were interpreted
as setting forth that the steamer ha6
met with an accident and was in dis
treSs. Other wireless reports were re-
sponsible for the belief that she was
sinking.
On receiving the news the japanese
government dispatched cruisers and
merchant ships from Formosa to where
the Siberia was supposed to be ashore.
A British warship steamed at full
speed to her assistance and the Amer
lean naval authorities at Manila made
hurried preparations to send help.

DAKOTA BALL TEAM
PLANS FOR REVENGE

baseball has begun in earnest. South
Dakota meets Morningsidet at home.
Tuesday next. and expects to recipro-
cate by reversing the I'll defeat, ad-
ministered by the M~ethodists. this week
Wednesday. Steele is likely to pitch
the whole game. Mcclellan, who had
been i'll and out Of the game for three
weeks, was put in the box at first, but
was hard hit. Steele substituted in the
third inning and held the enemy to one
hit for the rest Of the game. Morn
ingside also meets Yankton, Monday.
at Yankton, and the result will give
some line on the South Dakota Yank-
ton strength. Columbus college lost
100 to Dakota Wesleyan, last week.
and 1t is evident that the Wesleyans
are not behind their baseball reputaL
ton. The Rapid City miners are said
to be in fine shape for their annual
eastern invasion. which viii take place
a week later. Northern Normal seems
to be developing a team Of class.

Denver, Colo, May 5.-The Colorado
legislature convened in extra session
today In response to a call by Cover
nor Ammons to consider matters con-
nected with Colorado's coal strike.
The selection of J. II. Slattery as the
democratic aucus candidate for speak
err by a vote of 20 to IT, scattering, was
regarded as a victory for the support
ers OF Governor Ammons. This as
sured Slattery's election as speaker.
The combined Republican and progress
sive complimentary vote was expected
to go to Horace. Mann, of Garfield
county. who was elected on a fusion
ticket.
The administration supporters gener-
ally appeared to favor the payment of
the militia, but were met with threats
from the opponents that Sc such action
was attempted an effort would be made
TO secure the governors impeachment.
During tho forenoon a suggestion was
heard that the senate and house ap-
point q joint committee to investigate
the strike and report to the Twentieth
legislature which %convenes next jan
uary and adjourn sine die leaving the
present situation to be handled by the
federal authorities.
May Not Pay Troops.
Such n course would mean no proVi-
sion for meeting the military Indebted
ness, roughly estimated at $1,000, 900
and no attempt to carry out the legisla-
tive program contemplated in the gov
ernor'S call.
Labor leaders continued to express
confidence that they would be able to
carry through their avowed ogra
for the governors impeachment.
1t was uncertain when Governor Am
mons would address the joint session.
The governor, somewhat recovered
from his nervous and physical collapse
or last night, while preparing a message
TO the legislature, was at his office dur
ing the morning. Unable to complete
a formal message he planned to &C be-
fore the joint session and address them
on the subject of the strike and topics
included in his call. a..
These comprise the payment Of the
militia, a compulsory arbitration law
establishing a state constabulary: laws
giving the governor authority to close
saloons in times Of internal disorder
and to regulate the sale and purchase
Of firearms n an appropriation to
meet the expense of the special session,
May Order Inquiry.
A modification of the suggestion for
a legislative investigation vas that the
report be made to an adjourned session
of the present legislature to convene
within 80 to so days. This appeared to
meet with greater favor, and some
program of this character would be
agreed upon.
An eleventh hour shift gave to John
s. Hasty. the complimentary vote of
republicans and progressives for
or mine guards or both If complaints,
backed by proof, were filed in his Of
