Des Motnes, Iowa, Aug. 7.-As At

into the records of the alleged swim
dlers of Davenport arrested for work
ing a fake horse race on an Iowa
farmer. the more convinced he is that
100000 was taken by the men from
Iowa farmers in different parts of the
state. Cosson's agents say that one
locality $4,000 was secured by the
sWindIers in six weeks. An odd fea-
.ture of the Davenport case, according
to Cosson, is that william Kearns, of
Dunlap,s who was swindled out of
$40, 200 came back a second time for
$4,000. He was not used the second
time as a plant" by Cosson's agents
as at first supposed.
David Fisher of West Chester is
said to have lost another $4,000. The
swindlers worked for a time in Des

Shawnee County Republican
Commute Chairman.
Election Was Held Over Pro-
test of William Fulton.

Charles Sessions has been elect
ed as chairman of the Shawnee
county Republican committee. The
election was held over the protest of
william Fulton, a precinct committee
man-elect. Fulton sought to delay the
election pending formal organization
of the new committee, but his point
was overruied by -John- CLANCY, who
presided at the meeting.
The election of Sessions is regarded
as the first step toward the ELECTION of
the former secretary of state as chair
man OF the state COMMITTEES John
CLANCY was madegiee chairman of the
county committee.
There was but one interruption of
the program to elect Sessions. That
was when Fulton questioned the legal
ity OF the meeting. He argued that
none of the new committeeman had
received credentials and that their ac-
ton today was illegal. CLANCY held
that a Republican committee could
take any action it desired. There was
no fight on Sessions's election and he
was named as head of the county COM

little doubt that the ballot will author

Briefly the present demands of the

shall constitute a day. And that ali
overtime shall be paid for at the rate
OF one and one-half times the regular
rate.
Offer to Arbitrate
These demands were refused by the
railroads after making certain de-
mands of their own: Then the rail-
roads offered to arbitrate. The offer
was promptly turned down and the
ballot on the strike was called

If the freight men are called out on

trainmen will be Immediately involved.
Under their working rules, the rail-
ROADS have the right to transfer train
men from passenger to freight service
and from freight to passenger service
If that is attempted the passenger
crews will refuse to obey and join the

Call for Volunteers.
If the trainmen strike, however, the

If the strike be started and such
steps are taken one may form his own

And so, the offer of the railroads to
arbitrate has placed the trainmen in
an embarrassing position before the
