Raw Weather Fails to Keep
Crowds Away From Train as
President Speeds West.
SPENDS HIS SPARE TIME
ON REDRAFT OF SPEECH
Chief Executive Appears at Best in
Frequent Platform Appearances.
Mrs. Hoover in Fine Mood.
BY ]. RUSSELL YOUNG,
STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

ABOARD PRESIDENT HOOVER S
TRAIN, EN- ROUTE TO DES MONIES.
OTTAWA, Ill, October president
Hoover is receiving his first real taste
of campaigning for reelection today as
his special train speeds into the Mid
Iowa, where tonight he delivers his first
speech of the campaign.
At the railroad stations along the
way cheering crowds have been on
hand. The skies were overcast and a
cold, drizzling rain was falling, which
no doubt kept down the size of these
station gatherings, but despite the
weather the President received a gen.
uine ovation at each place.
Mr. Hoover, who had arisen early and
who appeared eager to enter upon the
great personal part he is to take in his
own campaign, went to the rear plat
form of his private car at each of these
stations. He did not confine his rear
platform appearances to the stations
where his long train came to stop, but
at the other places where the train
passed through at crawling pace or
came to pause for moment he stood
upon the platform and bowed and
smiled and even waved to the cheering
crowds. These waving, yelling admirers
were too enthusiastic in their acclaim
for Mr.. Hoover not to respond without
waving.
Mrs. Hoover on Platform.
Mrs Hoover also appeared on the
platform near her distinguished hus-
band, and she. too. came in for a share
OF the tributes. In response she bowed
and waved acknowledgement in her
customary gracious manner.
There was decided rawness in the
air and several times during their plat
form appearances Mr. Hoover wore
light topcoat and Mrs. Hoover a warm
wrap. They did not seem to mind the
beating OF the rain as they leaned over
the railing of the car platform As a
matter OF fact, they appeared as though
they enjoyed it. They both seemed
happy and genuinely appreciative of the
cordiallty and enthusiasm of the shout
ing crowds. They both seemed to have
completely entered into the campaign
spirit
Mr.. Hoover appeared in an especially
happy mood. There was not the slight
est trace that he was in any way con-
scious OF reports that had been reach
ing Washington of an "anti-Hoover"
sentiment in this section. On these
platform appearances, Mr. Hoover un-
questionably appeared at his best. His
old smile, with all the charm of earlier
days, when he was not weighed down
with such grave problems, seemed to
have returned. Unquestionably he had
laid aside his customary reserve Those
who stood close to him agreed that If
there is any great feeling Of unfriendli-
ness in this part Of the country, it has
not yet manifested itself These demon
strations at the stationss in the face of

CHICAGO. October 4-Three true
bills charging Samuel and Martin insult
with embezzlement, larceny and larceny
by bailee were returned today by the
Cook County grand jury
The bills were returned after less than
an hours deliberation by the grand
jury on evidence given by half dozen
witnesses.
The grand jurors immediately after
finishing their deliberations marched
into criminal court room where the
true bills were made public as indict-
ments
Capiases were issued Immediately for
the arrest of the two insults.
State Attorney John A. Swanson an
nounced he would start action imme-
diately to extradite Samuel Ihsull from
Paris and Martin insult from Canada.
The indictments were based en- al
legged withdrawal Of money from insult
financing companies to support mar
ginal stock market account maintained
by Martin insult in another persons
name. Part of the Withdrawals were
said by Swanson to have been on a
Request to Return Ignored.
Swanson took the case to the grand
Jury today after the insult brothers
had refused to heed request from him
that they return voluntarily for ques-
tlcning
These men were involved in enter
prises that cost investors $4,000 600, 900
or more" Swanson said. If they will
not return voluntarily to help clear up
the situation. then it is my duty to use
every power of the law to bring them
back"
Swanson said his Office had studied
the extradition treaties with France
and Canada. and that extradition from
both countries is provided for the Of
fenses charged against the insults.
The witnesses who appeared before
the grand jury included Washington
Flexner, president of the Lincoln Print
ing Co. who Swanson stated maintained
a marginal brokerage in his own name
for Martin insult
Another was Oliver E. Mccormick,
treasurer of Middle West Utilities.
Swanson had asserted both Mccormick
and Flexner could tell how 1894, ,720 al
legedly was withdrawn from the treas
ury of Middle West to provide collateral
for the stock account. Of1cials of the
brokerage Office where the account was
kept, also testified.
More Serious Charges Forecast.
I'VE have only scratched the sur
face" Swanson said in discussing the
present case against the insults. Il am
positive further Investigations will reveal

At another time Hitner is reported
to have come to Washington and con-
ferred with Mrs. Rebecca Greathouse,
assistant United States attorney and
cousin Of Mrs. Lindbergh, and with
John Marshall, former Assistant Attor-
ney General and close friend of the
Morrow family.
The conference was arranged after
Hitner had written a number OF let

NEW YORK, October 4.-Henry F.
Moore, the juror who caused mistriai
in the case of United States Senator
James j. Davis. was sentenced today to
pay fine Of 500 within "a hours or go
to Jail for five days. His name also was

preaching defense counsel after the trial

COAL LOSS Barred
IN FAULTY SCALES
Short Weights Estimated to
Have Cost Many Thou
sands Here.

Washington coal consumers probably
have lost hundreds of thousands of
dollars through short weight coal scales,
1t was stated in the annual report Of
George NJ Roberts. superintendent Of
weights, measures and markets, sub
mitted to the District Commissioners
today.
Mr. Roberts disclosed that rs per
cent Of the large scales for weighing
coal and other heavy merchandise. test
ed for the first time during the last
year, were found incorrect.
Repairs Quickly Made.
It was never possible to test these
scales before last year. he said, because
his department had no truck for con-
scales. The purchase Of such truck
last year made the tests possible for
the first time Wherever defects were
ascertained, the report said, the own
ers Of the scales readily co-operated by
having repairs made"
In the record of prosecutions in the
report, there is no mention OF prose-
cutting any coal dealers. Apparently
their corrections of their scales were
satisfactory to Mr.. Roberts. Part of
the report dealing with the investiga-
tional work says
In a considerable number Of estab-
lishments investigated slight irregulari-
ties were found. In such cases correc-
ton was effected through warning. ad-
monition and advice. Minor violations

of information upon the part OF persons
committing them, and can be remedied
without resort to prosecution.
Since the prime purpose OF the
weights and measures law is to correct
rather than to punish. it has never been
deemed desirable to institute prosecu-
tions in cases involving only minor in
fractions which could otherwise be cor
rected."
1887 Visits Paid.
During the year. The report says, in
spectors made 1887 official visits 70
business establishments to check weigh
ing and measuring instruments, OF
which 3.l2l were surprise" visits. The
staggering total of 2,982,914 separate
devices was checked, and of this num-
ber 2908 were adjusted before being
approved and 249 defective scales and
measures were condemned and de-
stroyed.
Prosecutions in Police Court for short
weights and measures netted $906.
Among the cases were short-meaSure
gasoline, failure to weigh ice. short
weight bread, excessive liquid in oysters
(the law says there must be not more
than 10 per cent?. selling unlabeled
bread. using false measures and using
condemned measuring pump.
The total revenue from the Districts
markets, which also came under Mr..
Roberts jurisdiction, was $50. .596.02. Mr..
Roberts expects that this will be con-
siderably increased this year by rev.
enues from the new farmers market.

La AFOLLETTES MAY
SWAY WISCONSIN
Defeated Faction in State
Primary Holds Balance of
Power in November.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN,
staff Correspondent of The Star

MADISON, Wis, October from
today until November 8, election day,
the "stalwart" Republicans and the
Democrats will WOO with increasing in
tensity the La Toilette progressives.
Upon the results of that wooing will
depend the outcome in the presidential
race in Wisconsin. 1t will decide, too,
the fight over the State ticket. The
progressives hold the balance Of power,
although defeated in the Republican
State primary contests for senatorial
and gubernatorial nominations.
The defeat of Gov. Philip La Toilette
and Of Senator John j. Blaine by the
stalwart Republican candidates,
former Gov. Walter j. Kohler and John
B. Chapple, Ashland editor, has left the
progressives still wondering what hit
them. A prominent progressive, ana
lying the primary election and the
campaign which preceded it, said today
that three factors accounted for the
results
First, the "stalwart" Republicans
staged campaign for fear and terror
ISM persuading the working men that
they would lose their jobs if Gov. La
Toilette were renominated.
Second, the Democrats who have
voted with the La Toilette progressives
for years. moved over to their own pri-
mary this year, increasing the size OF
the Democratic primary vote from H.
600 in the past to las, 900 today.
Third, the determination OF voters
pressed by hard times to throw the
'ins" out.
Income Taxes Increase.
There is a fourth reason for the vic
tory of the stalwarts, and that is q
heavy increase In income taxes, with
those taxes spread SO as to hit thou
sands who never before paid these
State income taxes. These taxes were
levied in part to meet the rising need
