BLUFF,
GOOD TYPEWRITER BUSINESS
Toting Man Benti Firs Machines and
Then Disappears.
TWO OF THEM LOCATED BY THE POLICE
Had Beesi Deposited aa seeorlty for
Loans Other Machines Are Still
Listed Among "the
Mlsslag.
James W. Tuthlll, a young man with
a penchant for typewriting machines as
a means for raising money. Is a much
wanted person by the police and the own
ers of five typewriters which he had rented.
With his wife, Tuthlll arrived In Council
Bluffs about a month ago and secured
rooms- and board at the home of Mrs. C.
Gregory, on Fourth street.' lie. represented
himself as in the employ of the Remington
Typewriter company, and that his wife was
an operator on the typewriter. He wa
well dreased and suare of manner nnd ex
perienced no difficulty In renting two new
machines from V. W. Bushnell, on Pearl
street. One of the machines was a Smith
Premier and the other a Remington. When
Mr. Bushnell's clerk suggested to Tuthlll
that It wns strange be did not get a Rem
ington from his own company, the young
man stated he and his wife- were doin
work at night for a big Insurance company
and he did not want his company to know
that he was working for anyone else. This
explanation seemed satisfactory and he se
cured the second machine. It is said that
he secured three other machines in Omaha.
One of the machlnea secured trom Mr.
Bushnell, and one belonging to an Omaha
firm, were located yesterday. They hnd
both been deposited with chattel loan
brokers for cash advanced. The police are
looking for the other three. It being be
lieved that they were pawned In this city.
Tuthlll and his wife suddenly, left the
city about a week ago and the police are
now trying to discover where they went.
It is said that they forgot to pay their
room and board bill before leaving and
that they removed their personal effects
from Mrs. Gregory's house during the lat
ter's absence.

RAISING THE GRADE OF BROADWAY
City Officials and Northwestern Rail
way to Take Vp Question.
A conference between the city council
and the chief engineer of the Northwestern
railroad is slated for this afternoon, when
the queation of raising the grade of Broad
way In the immediate vicinity of the
Northwestern's crossing will be discussed.
The bridges of the . Northwestern at
Twelfth street. Just north of Broadway,
are held mainly responsible for the over
flowing of Indian creek, as In times of high
water they form a dam and the overflow
onto Broadway la always greatest at this
point, It Is figured that by rajslng the
grade of Broadway' at this point these
bridges can be raised.
Indian creek, with its frequent overflows,
has proven a costly matter to the railroad,
aa at each flood its yards and tracks, both
south and north of Broadwayhsve been
covered with mud and debris, the removal
of which has always been an expensive Job.
It Is known that tho railroad company Is
willing to co-operate with the city n some
plan to relieve these conditions, and It la
expected that the company's chief engi
neer will come here ready to submit some
plan for the solution of the Indian creek
problem. i . ,.
In anticipation of the visit? 'of-the rail
road's chief, engineer here a meeting ef the
city council will be held this afternoon at 2
o'clock.
Groeers Dlsenss Sugar Rates.
The recent big cut In the sugar freight
rates from Chicago and the south Is giving
the wholesalers and Jobbers of western
Iowa and eastern Nebraska considerable
worry, and yesterday a division meeting of
the Iowa and Nebraska Wholesale Grocers'
association was held in this city to dis
cuss ways and means to protect the inter
ests of the members in this section of the
country. .
The meetln?, as Is the usual custom of
the association, was held at the Grand
hotel behind cloaed doors and the only In
fos matlon obtainable from Secretary Melhop
was that' it was for the purpose of devls.
Ing ways and means to counteract the re
cent cuf In rates., which had demoralised
the Jobbing trade In western Iowa to a
conalderatle extent.
Present at the meeting were represents
tlvea of the wholesale grocery, bouses from
Omaha, Council Bluffs. Sioux City, Mason
City, Ton Dodge, Marnhalltown and Dei

Stolen Horse Recovered.
Three horses, a wagon and harness were
stolen Wednesday night from Joe Stereos,
a mrmser of a band of gypsies who are
camping on vacant lots at Broadway and
Thirty-tfoiirth street. A man named Moore
was arrested by Sheriff Morgan 'of Mitts
county last evening near Ulenwood with
the three horses, a wagon and harness In
his possession. Two men, said to be Im
plicated In the theft, were also arrested
yesterday afternoon at Pacific Junction.
The three men will be brought to Council
Bluffs today. Stevens, who had offered $2S
reward for the recovery of the horses, was
with Sheriff Morgan when they overhauled
Moore near Olenwood.
No Derision en Bank Dividend.
Judge Macy yesterday adjourned district
court and left In the afternoon for his
home in Harlan. He made no order In the
Officer At Puaey bank dividend matter, but
will be here rext Monday, on his way to
81dney, where he Is to open the November
term of court Tuesday. At that time he
will consult further with the receivers and
others Interested and will make the order
fixing the amount of the dividend to be
paid.
Receiver Murphy disputes Attorney Stew
art's claim that the receivers could easily
pay a 6 per cent dividend. That such a
dividend could be paid, however, Mr.
Murphy admits, provided they could collect
all the cash termed "available" by Mr.
Stewart. Some of the assets listed by Mr.
Stewart, Mr. Murphy says, cannot be col
lected Immediately, as there are questions
affecting some of them. The receivers be
lieve that S per cent Is all that should Be
paid at this time.

STOCK SHIPPERS CHARGE FR AID
Allegro Commission Men Work Them
for La rare Bom.
SIOUX CITY, la., Oct. 27. (Special Tele
gram.) Two suits have been started
against the Collins Commission company,
in which fraudulent claims are alleged. The
company Is accused of having made sham
sales of cattle entrusted to Its charge and
then sent the cattle on to Omaha and Chi
cago, where they brought good money, in
which tho original owners of the cattle
did not share. Pat O'Neill of Faulkton, S.
D- sued for $8,333, and George Boyer and
Frank j tkiyder sue for J2,00C. The Sioux
fclty . Livestock exchange is investigating
the matter with the object In view of ex

nnrftlara at Ames.
AMES, la., Oct. 27. (Special.) Burglars
struck the town Tuesday night and broke
Into several business houses, securing con
siderable merchandise of value. They first
broke Into the George Roberson hardware
-.tore, where they appropriated a fine Colt's
revolver and, thinking that the rolltop desk
might contain some valuables, succeeded
In tearing It to pieces, but got nothing of
much value. The George Baker Jewelry
store was the next' place to be ransacked
but, strange as it may seem, did not dis
turb any of the Silverware that was on
the shelves. The rings and watches were
locked In the vault and it seems they did
not tamper, with this. White's hardware
store was also broken Into, but nothing
of value disappeared. The cash drawer
was broken and 3 cents taken. Not sat
isfied with their haul so far, they next
rcided the J, N. Fowler tailor shop, and
carried away two pair of trousers and one
new suit of clothes. Gibson's news stand
was the next plaoe visited, at which place
they took about 300 cigars.

CO-OPERATIVES IN A FIGHT
Insist Contest with Grain Trust is One for
Right to Exist.
ALLEGE COMMISSION MEN ARE COERCED
Convention at Rockwell, Iowa, Ex
pected to Form Organisation to
Take rharse ol the
Contest.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE3 MOINES. Oct. 27. (Special.) Those
who, are Interested In the co-opcratlve
movement In Iowa purpose to have It de
termined very soon whether or not they
are to be allowed to exist under lowa
laws or to suffer extinction at the behe-t
of what they call the grain trust. The
convention of co-operatives at Rockwell,
la., next Thursday la to have to do largely
with the grain trades problem and the war
which has been going on for some time
hetween the elevator combine and board of
trade and the Independents and co-operatives.
The call is specifically for the or
ganization of a state association of co
operative grain dealers and dele gates are
Invited from all such associations. The
call was signed by a committee of the
famous farmers' co-operative society at
Rockwe'l, which has grown in twenty
years until It. does over 1700,000 worth of
business a year and is the model for fifty
other similar associations In the stute.
In explaining the purpose of tho conven
tion President J. M. Brown of the Rock
well co-operative, said:
For years every effort possible In every
section of the grain belt has heen made
to discourage the forming of farmer ele
vator companies and to force those al
ready orgunized out of business. During
the last tew weeks a most daring attempt
has been made to Induce the commission
merchants of Chicago and other markets
to refuse to handle the business of the
farmer elevator companies of Iowa. It
still continues and is a high handed and
open violation of the laws of trade and
decency, and the perpetrators of such an
Infamous outrage should be given to un
derstand that their underhanded tactics
and disgraceful conduct Is a blot upon tlie
fair name of our state. Demands have
been made upon all track buyers and
commission merchants to transact no busi
ness with us whatever, and railroads have
been asked to thwart us In every way
they could.
It cannot be that the time has come when
a company, organized and Incorporated
under the laws of this great state, com
posed of leading and upright business me.i
with an aggregated wealth of half a mil
lion dollars. Is not to be permitted to do
business In this "land of the free and
home of the brave." Such, however, Is
what the self-appointed guardians of th?
grain trade would have us belli ve, and In
our opinion the time has come for the
men who grow the grain and own the
land to rise up In their might and wipe the
Inst vestige of the grain trust from the
state of lowa.
The committee calling this convention
calls attention to the fact that eighteen
months ago ther were but thirty-three
farmer elevator companies In Illinois and
"this same clique" tried to put them out
of business, but they organized a state
association and today have over 100 co
operative grain companies doing buainess,
all prosperous and happy and with free
and open market.
Dlelmana to Make Mosalca.
It was announced by" the members of the
State Capitol 'commission that the com
mission has agreed upon Frederick Dlel
munn Of New York. prVslent of the Na
tional Acadomy' of Desi'tgi". for the painting
of six great mosaics to be placed at the
head of the grand stairway in the state
capitol building. The legislature appro
priated $10,000 for this work. Dlelmann
prepared the general plajis for the capitol
decoration. .
The suit wps practically concluded to
day by which it was sought to prevent the
commission from closing its contract with
E. E. Garnsey for the general decoration
of the cupitol. The court has not yet
decided It. Mr. Garnsey and members of
the commission were on the stand and ex
plained the nature of the work contem
plated. Lectures on Kdncatlon.
Btate Superintendent, Biggs went to Van
Wert today, where he will lecture tomorrow
evening before the Teachers' association of
Clarke, Decatur and W'ayne counties on
"Waste in Education."
The Columbian National Lit? Insurance
company of Boston was authorized by the
auditor of state to transact business in
Iowa. ,
Collect Taxes on 'Phones.
State officials today took the initiative in
the matter of compelling oounty olllcers in
Linn' county to collect the taxes on tele
phone lines In accordance with the atatutes
of the state. The county board, by reao
lutlon, directed the county auditor not to
collott the tax on companies not incor
porated, alleging that they had been er
roneously assessed r 1 that the state law
la not right. The s... e tax on these com
panies, Is involved and while the amount
is very small In the one county jet If the
precedent should be followed in the ninety-
eigni oiner counties of the state tho of
ficials say that It would materially reduce
tne taxes received by the state. The at
torney general has been directed to pro
ceed to compel the Linn oounty officials
to coiuorm to the law.
Army Prisoners Break Away.
A desperate attempt on the nan r,t tho
military prisoners confined at Fort Des
Moines to effect escape wus made last
night. Sixty of the prisoners sought to
escape and made a dash for liberty. Three
of the prisoners, got further away than
oiners ana me guards gave them chase,
firing at the fleeing Dersons. Tain Du ... ....

and were taken back and but one finally
escaped. A prisoner named Thomas can
not' be found. Two bars had been sawed
from the guard house and. the prisoners
msae tneir escape in this way.
Primary Law Is Attacked.
It Is regarded as doubtful if th r.ru.r.
law which is made applicable In this county
unaer state law will be allowed to stand
until the first' election Is held under It, as
a movement is on foot to brimr i
- m . . iiiiu
court and have It tested. A former chief
justice 01 the supreme court declares that
the law is unconstitutional in that It is in
violation of the sanctity of the ballot, be
cause on election day the judges of elec
tion are required to find out how a man
votes or wishes to be classed "as voting and
record this opposite his name.
Hrglatratlon of Voters.
The first day of registration In the cities
of Iowa was today and the registration was
very light. As all previous registration
books In ths cities are thrown away this
will be an entire new registration, and the
fact that a' voter voted last year will have
no bearing on the case. It is therefore re
garded as certain that many In the cities
will lose their votes through misapprehen
slon of the law. This Is the first general
registration since the law went Into force,
Saloon Association Denies.
Officials of the Slate Association of Liquor
Dealers make denial of a statement widely
published, but which apparently had no
foundation, to the effect that the assocla

to the saloon and liquor Interests of the
state to fight the amendment. The preai

TALKING FOR GREATER WEST
Transmi8isgippi Commercial Congress is
Working Hard at St. Louis.
MANY PAPERS ARE READ IN MEETING
All Phases of Western Commercial
Life Hecelve Attention at Hands
of the Delegates in
Convention.
ST. LOC18, Oct. 27. The beginning of
today's session of the Trar.smisslsslppl
Commercial congress was devoted to gen
eral dlacusslon of topics presented In
papers read during yesterday's session.
President Kerens, In a brief address, ad
monished the delegates that the congress
wns n jt accomplishing all the work in
tended by merely listening to papers, but
that the delegates Bhould discuss the dif
ferent subjects placed before the congress
and bring out all the potent points. Neces
sarily the general review was limited,
owing to the number of papers yet to be
heard, but it was earnest and animated,
embracing lrrlgutlon methods, cultivation
of sugar beets, the commercial aspect of
the country, labor and capital conditions,
government protection against floods and
kindred topics.
Vnlunbl Arid Land.
The first address of today's session was
mud by C. U. Boothe of Los Angole", Cal.,
chairman of the board of the National Irri
gation association, on "The Responsibility
of the New West to the Nation."
Mr. Boothe said in part:
The people of the whole union are only
Just beginning to realize the truth that in
many of the western states and territories
there is a vast amount of arid national
domain which, though dry and unproduct
ive, has a soil of fabulous richness, and If
Irrigated would become a source of untold
wealth. In many places It was known to
be impossible ' to reclaim these lands by

bringing water upon them, and th desert
land act was passed by congress with the
avowed object of making them productive
nnd adapting them to the homes of settlors
who would go upon them. The fact is
now reallsinl by the most Intelligent leaders
of the nation that thla law has proved
to be a failure In its operation and ought
to be repealed without delay. The great
ness of the west, of its opportunities, of
Its privileges, ought to make and has
made, strong, sturdy, Intelligent, hopeful
and enterprising men. You can find ill the
reclaimed arid laud communities that will
bear favorable comparison with any of the
union. I ask the leaders and the people
of the west. If such an empire, with such
potentialities, is not a trust worthy of their
highest endeavor and most patriotic devo
tion? Iteceptlon for Delegates.

jects to Chans Proposed
, . by Railroads.
.
CHICAGO, Oct. 27. The executive com
mittee of the American Shippers' associa
tion at a meeting here today decided to
appeal to the Interstate Commerce com
mission U) investigate the proposed uni
form bill of lading which is planned by
the railroad companies and If posslb'.e.to
take action to prevent tlie adoptlm of tha
propofd plan. The American Shippers' aa.
soi tat Inn asserts that, the proposed uni
form bill of lading is tnlmlcal to the ship
per and would destroy tho value of bills
of lading as collateral . security. By the
proposed new bill of biding by the raltrcads
the shippers declare the railroads seek to
waive liability, and the Interstate Com
merce eommbulon will be asked if 1t la
within its power to recommend a bill of
lading which In form will be satisfactory
to the shippers of the country.
