Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids, Nov. 3.--Four stores
in Marion were Quilted and two others
badly damaged by fire of an unknown
origin which broke out at 1890 last
night IN the sleeping rooms over, one
of the stores. All OF the buildings
were old and the flames spread rap
idly. The damage, while not fully
known will reach nearly $4,000. it
Is said.
Aid rendered by the Cedar Rapids
fire department resulted In getting
the fire under control and preventing
a much greater loss, as poor water
pressure in Marion, until a pumper
arrived from this city, made ii diff
cult to fight the flames.
Most of the goods were removed
from the stores. including valuable
jewelry stock, the latter taken to
safety without any thefts.

The report of the three Republican

THAT had Secretary Daniels in

policies, there would have been less
necessity to have made changes in
the awards.
2-That had Secretary Daniels con-
suited with the commanders OF the
ships and accepted their judgment,
men most entitled to rewards would
have gotten them and those least de-
serving would have been ignored.
3-That failure to employ such a
system has been hurtful to the

This undoubtedly explains why no
bids other than those OF the Interna-
tional Mercantile Marine ever were
received for the Leyiathan, and that
the International Mercantile Marine
was the only company TO make bid
for all OF the former German ships.
This bid was for only s2s. 900 900. de-
scribed by shipping experts In testi-
mony before Congregational commit-
tees as .ridicuious."
The most astonishing feature OF the
whole secret pact. however. is the
clause in the contract which says that
when the sealed bids on the Levia-
than were opened. and IL II should be
found that the International Mercan-
tile Marine was outid. this company
would have the right 10 meet the
oner of the highest bidder. This
means that no other company could
ever have acquired the Leviatkan. ns
they could not hope to outbid the In
trrnationaI Mercantile Marine.
Sensational disclosures are expect
ed TO follow in Congress as n result
OF this agreement with the Interna
tional Mercantile Marine. Mr.. Payne
has reluctantly admitted the exist
ence OF such contract before the
auction OF the vessels was stopped by
Mr.. Hearst's Injunction. But he has
never at any time disclosed the ma
ture Of the contract, and this despite
pointed inquiries from many sources

This attitude on the part OF the
chairman of the Shipping Board
however, cannot longer stand. When
he appears before tie Senate com
