Hawkeye Representations at T. p. A.
Convention Showed Crowd That
Iowa Was Some
Commonwealth.
TAKE PICTURE OF CROWD
Attired in keokuk overalIs and Car
ryins Banners Which Tell
Why Iowa 10
Leading.

The Iowa delegation to the national
T. P. A. convention at Savannah, Ga.
put the state on the map. c. G. Lich
tenberger of Keokuk was member
of the delegation. A photograph OF
the Iowa delegation was taken show
ing them as they appeared in the pa
rade, wearing Keokuk made overalls
and farmers big straw hats.
The picture has been reproduced In
the Council Bluffs Enterprise edited
by Page Morrison, with the following
lines under the cut:
"Of all that is good, Iowa affords
the best" 1t has been said that Iowa
people should study Iowa. know Iowa,
talk Iowa, and that means boost Iowa.
One of the best advertisements that
Iowa has had in many moons was at
Savannah, Ca, where the national
convention Of the Travellers Protec-
tive Association of America was re-
Gently held. This convention is CON-
posed of manufacturers, jobbers, brok-
ers and sales managers and salesme en-
from all over the United States. This
year the Iowa delegation made a dis
tinct hit, clad in Iowa overalls, wear
ing Iowa straw hats, and carrying
Iowa First signs that proclaimed to
100000 people that watched the pa
rade some Of the agricultural "Firsts"
of Iowa. The delegation also carried
booklets which gave some real Iowa
facts. The advertising effects Of the
signs will be widespread, as the cam
era man could not dodge them, and
as, result, the parade picture will
carry the First of Iowa into every
city in the United States, not only in
the movies, but on every mounted pic
ture that is taken home. Iowa was
further honored at the convention by
the election Of Page Morrison of Coun-
ell Bluffs as member Of the national
board Of directors. The men who made
up the Iowa delegation were: G. w.
Huntley, president Iowa division;
grass seed, w. w. Wyant, Waterloo;
oats, d. R. Zizler, Burlington; forage
crops, Oscar Reipe. Burlington; egg
production, ]. M. Cunningham. Sioux
City; hogs. D. M. Parsons, Daven-
port; poultry, Fred Empkie. Council
live stock, H. e. Weatherwax, Water
E. H. Shaw, Oskaloosa; corn, Page
Morrison, Council Bluffs; improved
land, c. G.. Lichtenberger, Keokuk;
horses, Henry Stark, Cedar Rapids.
THE Travellers Protective associa-
ton was the pioneer to give its atten-
ton to legislative matters that effect
the jobbers and manufacturers and
through them the buying and selling
forces. In less than thirty years it
has grown to an army of over 10000
picked men. who work for nothing the
year round that public safety may be
guarded along legislative lines. Ow
ing to It's democratic organization and
system, any city or town which has
post may call on the post, state or
national organization when confronted
with adverse legislation, particularly
along railroad Or other large public
utility lines.

limited Press Leased Wire Service.
VALLEJO, Calf, July 11.-Rumors
that arrests are imminent as the re-
suit Of the official investigation of
the explosion Of the black powder

Identify Of Mob Leaders.

EAST ST. LOUIS, ILL.,, July IL
Despite a statement by Attorney Gen.
eral Brundage that the state will take
an active part in prosecutions OF
leaders in the race riots and that
murderers will be hanged, it is the
general belief here that the state will
face mountainous difficulties when
cases come to trial Many mobsters
have left the city, it is asserted, and
leaders of the mob are going to be
hard to find.
Preliminary inquiries have brought
out conflicting testimony and shown
a general inability by witnesses to
give exact descriptions of men who
were mob members. In only few
instances have positive identifications
been made.

terday afternoon at the conclusion of
condemnation hearing in the superior
court. Bergenzer testified that the
beer was for his personal use and
that he did not have 1t in his posses.
sion for the purpose of violating the
law. He declared that his physician
had prescribed the beer for his health
and the testimony Of the latter was
admitted at the hearing. There was
no record Of any sales. !,
James Bowman, colored, put little
spice in the hearing when he de-
clared from the witness stand that he
had at one time brought up three
barrels of whiskey from Alexandria
for Bregenzer and he further stated
that at divers times he had purchased
whiskey from the defendant. He ad-
mitted he had not bought any beer
from Bergenzer or saw any in his
place of business. This testimony was
objected to by the attorney for Bregen-
ger on the grounds that 1t had nothing
to do with the hearing, which con-
cerned the beer only.
The day OF the raid on Bregenzer's
house it was reported that brewery
wagon had driven up to his home
few minutes before the officers ar
rived and taken away load of stuff
The state placed the drivers of the
truck on the stand. but the testimony
of both was that they had only TAX

of empties. 1t was declared that the
defendant had ordered them taken
away week before.
