IOWA CANDIDATES' CLAIMS Fignru Showing Nt Btiulti of Recent County ConTtntitBi. MANY CONSIDER CONGER CLEAR OUT OF IT llln 1'onltlve Drclnrntlon thnt Con vention Must Tcnilrr t'nntilmous .Viimlnut Ion So rum to lie lte qnlrlnir the InipoRnlble. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOI.NES, July 21. (Special.) The net result of the holding of various county conventions tho past two weeks has been to Increase tho totals of the various can dldatos for governor to the following fig ures: For Cummins, Instructed, 450; unln structcd, about 200; for Harrlraan, 141; for Trewin, 125; for 'llerrlott, 71; for Conger, 30; choice not known, 295. Whllo this represents tho comparative standing of tho various candidates there have been a number of marked changes In the situation. The Cummins lead has not been proportionately Increased during tho past two or three weeks nnd ho will got but few mora instructed delegates. Thero arc twenty-one county conventions yet to be held. Thero Is doubt as to tho out come In but few of them. The counties In which there aro con tests nre: Pottawattamie, Iowa, Floyd, Fay ette, Harrison and possibly Crawford. In somo of these counties there will bo di vided delegations. It is understood hero that tho Cummins people have secured a divided delegation in Potttawattamle nnd that they have the best of the deal, Har rison has been conceded to llerrlott, but may not go for him strongly. Tho situation as It has developed lately Is to the advantage of John Herrlott, the 1 Ninth district candidate. The belief Is gaining ground that tho real contest vlli be at the finish between Cummins and Herrlott and that If tho Ninth district stands solid for Herrlott ho will be In a better position to command tho united oposltlon to Cummins than any other can didate. Thero Is n distinct movement to bring nbout a concentration on Herrlott and mako him the nominee. Conner Probably Out of It. Tho latest Interview of Mnjor Conger Is regarded by many as making It Impossl blc that ho should be nominated. He has Indicated to his friends that ho would not accept unless ho got t.Ni nomlnntlon unani mously, which Is now out of tho question, and thcreforo It Is useless to try to get him on the ticket. Tho Fourth district, which Is tho homo of Senator Trewin, has been badly broken into, which greatly weakens his can didacy. Moro consideration Is being given to other places on the ticket nnd one result of tho action of the Stnto Bar association In pass ing fnvornbly upon a report to tho effect that supreme Judges should live at the stato capital during their term of office has beon to rcvlvo tho boom for Judge Bishop of this city for member of tho supremo court. He Is the only candldato who lives at the state capital and tho retiring mem ber of tho court Is tho only one who lives here. Conipniir I'niler the linn. Tho Home Co-opcratlvo association of Kansas City has been ordered to cease do ng business In Iowa, the auditor of slate tcrving notice on tho agent of the company hero yesterday to that effect.

Is more properly a building and loan busi ness, and until this matter Is explained to tho satisfaction of the auditor It cannot do business here. Infelicity nt Fort Dorter. FORT DODGE, la., July 21.

Little ThliiK tlmt Cnme Ncnr Causing the I. hum of Strnumhln, Tho strangest story I ever heard of the eea, says a writer In the Record-Herald, relates to a copper rivet which was acci dentally left In tho bilge on tho bottom of a ship by the builders, between two ribs, where It rolled back and forth with the mo tion of tho vessel until It hnd worn a hole through the plates. This remarknblo event took place off tho coast of Peru. Some yenrs ngo a vessel loaded with guano worth several thousand dollars caught fire In tho South Pacific nnd was abandoned by tho captain and crew, who came ashore In tho small boats and reported tho disaster. "Jack" Eywof the firm of W. R. Grace & Co,, Now York, to whom tho guano was consigned, Is a daring fellow, and determined to save that cargo if possible,. Ho knew that guano would not burn, and It was his Idea that the hulk of the ship might be found floating somewhere at sea and the valuablo cargo recovered. He therefore chartered a small English tramp that happened to be at Callao and started out to search tor tho derelict. After cruising for two or three weeks he found It, Just as ho had expected, tho wood work burned to tho water's edge, but the bull sound as a dollar and the cargo all right. They towed It Into Catlao, but tho day before reaching that harbor the tramp they had chartered began to fill very rap idly, and the pumps could scarcely keep It afloat. They narrowly escaped sinking with all on board. The leak was a mystery. They had met with no accident and there was no reason to suspect anything wrong with the plates, for tho ship had been In the dry dock shortly before It left Liver pool and was rated Al, being only between two and three years old. They managed to get It to Callao only by the greatest ex ertion, and many a time they feared they could not keep It afloat so long, When the ship went Into the dock and was examined It was found that one of the. plates about the center had worn through. Further Investigation demon strated that the damage had been done by little copper rivet which bad been ac cidentally left In the bottom and had rolled back nnd forth over the same spot so often and so long that the Iron plato had been worn thin and the pressure of tho water bad broken through. The mischievous rivet was there nnd wns taken out and preserved as a curiosity. Shipbuilders tell me that this Is not an uncommon thing. It Is always customary as a precaution to make a thorough search of the bottom of a new ship for rivets nnd copper filings nnd other loose metal, Copper filings are especially dangerous, because under certain conditions they are apt to set up a llttlo galvanic battery and do nn Im mense amount of damage. FINDS HIS BODY DANGLING Farmer' Wife enr Clianntnn Discov ers What Ileenme tif Mnn Who Feared Ills Relatives. GRAND ISLAND, Neb., July 21. (Spe cial.)

Itleh Vcnesnelnn Tires Ont Detectives Who flhndowed lllm. There Is ono man In New York who has found It a difficult matter to bring a trunk full of gold Into tho country. He Is Angel Fernandez of Venezuela, who camo to America on the Philadelphia ship La Ouayra on May 27. When the custom houso officials opened his trunk to Inspect It they were surprised to find thrco bags of Spanish, French nnd American gold coin. They examined his clothing and found ho had $10,000 In a belt. Sowed Into his pockets were $5,000, making in all $40,000. Tho suspicions of tho .Inspectors wero aroused, but a friend met him on tho pier and vouched for him. This friend was a deputy of General Joso Manuel E. Hernan dez, tho revolutionary Venezuelan now In Jail In that country. Ho w'as allowed to proceed to New YorR. At the same time the Venezuelan consul In New York, General E. Gonzales Esteves, received word to watch for a man who had gono to New York to buy arms for a now revolution. Fernandez wns the only one who could bo found. Ho wns shadowed con stnntly. Ho went to live with Abraham Ur getto at No. 137 West Sixty-seventh street, who happened to be a friend of General Hernandez. This still moro strengthened the belief that he was tho man who In tended to, buy arms. Fernandez heard that he was being shad owed. The Idea tickled him and he set out two weeks ago to tire the detectives. Ho Is tall and muscular nnd a professional walker. Ho got up early every morning, so his friend Urgctto says, and took a stroll afoot up through Mount Vernon, over to Yonkcrs nnd homo by wny of tho river bnnk. Now and then he would turn to sec the sweating detectives following behind. In this wny ho wore out ono dotectlvo a day and It was Just excrclso for him. He found a new man shadowing htm every morning. At Inst tho detectives fol lowed him on bicycles. When ho saw this he would cut across a field and the sleuth would have to go around. Last Wednesday he scared tho Venezue lan authorities by announcing that he was going to Curacao, In tho West Indies. This is a hotbed of rebels. A detective took passage and sailed on the Prlnco Maurltz. An hour after the vessel had gone tho Joker took a train for Boston. "Ho Is up thero now," said Mr. Urgetto to a New York Sun man.
