Mr. Plaid declared he waa tn favor of
municipal ownership, provided an Injunction

Mr. Green said ha waa of the same opinion
as he waa whet: as a member of the execu
tive commutes 01 me commercial club he
signed a circular1 letter to the taxpayers
advocating the granting of a new franchise
to the wator 'company last September. Mr.

LOZIRH IS SAFFJ tS COLORADO
Requisition far Ills Return to Iowa
la Rrfuaed.
Sheriff Canning returned yesterday aft
ernoon from Denver without Leon Lozler,
the alleged fake foot racer who was In
dicted for the second time last November
on a charge of conspiracy to commit lar
ceny In connection with an alleged fake
foot race pulled off at Webb City, Ml,
several years ago and by which Charles
Gregory and William Barker, both of this
city, wero swindled out of several thousand
dollars. Governor Buchtel of Colorado re
fused to grant, the requisition Issued by
Governor Cummlna of this atate.
From the time of his arrest In Denver,
about a week ago, Lozler put up a strong
fight against being returned to Iowa. Sher
iff Canning after some delay received the
requisition paper and applied to Governor
Buchtel for the extradition of Lozler, Gov
ernor Buchtel turned the matter over to
Attorney General Dickson.
Attorney General Dickson at once pro
ceeded to discover what he termed several
defects In the requisition from the governor
f Iowa, w'.ilch, he said, did not comply with
the rules of Colorado. Sheriff Canning sug
gested that It would be an easy matter to
have the requisition papers rectified, but
Attorney General Dickson told Mr. Canning
that It would be only a waste of time and
labor, as he would not recommend that
Lozler bo turned over to him on the facts
in the case. The attorney general of Colo
rado told Mr. Canning that the offense
with which Lozler appeared to be charged
was very similar to numerous fake boxing
and wrestling matches which had at varlsus
times been pulled off In that state and. In
hla opinion, the cage waa not serious enough
to warrant granting the requisition.
Lozler and hla alleged ' accomplice, Ed
Moore, also of this city," were first tried
and, convicted on a charge of conspiracy
with Intent to cheat by : false pretenses.
They were sentenced to three years each In
the penitentiary. They appealed and ' the
supreme court sent the case back, alleging
that the Indictment, .was, faulty In that It
should have been ; on -the charge p. con
spiracy to' commit larceny. County -Attorney
Hess' dismissed; the case against the
two men and at the November session of
last year laid the matter again before the
grand Jury, which returned Indictments
against Lozler and Moore, on the charge
auggested by the supreme court.
The case haa already cost Pottawattamie
county a large sum of money and It Is
understood no further effort will be made
to bring Lozler back here. The present
whereabouts of Moore Is unknown to the
local authorities, , '

TUBERCULOSIS LOSS GREAT
Disease in Animals Costs Iowa
Fanners Two Million a Tear.
EFFORT TO STAMP OUT DISEASE
Alllaoa's Friends Perfecting; Their
Organisation for Contest for
Ills Return to the t ailed
States Senate.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINES, Feb. ".-(Special.) One
and one-half per cent of the hogs and 1H
per cent of the cattle of Iowa killed In
packing houses have tuberculosis, and the
annual loss to the atate ia nearly $2,000,000.
These figures are obtained from the re
sults of the Investigation being made by
Secretary John C. 8lmpson of the State
Board of Agriculture. On Instructions from
the board at its annual meeting last De
cember, Mr. Simpson asked each of the
thirteen packing houaea In the state to re
port monthly the animals killed that later
showed evidences of tuberculosis and were
unfit for food. The first monthly reports
are now in and, the aummary shows the
figures given above.
Furthermore, the veterinarians of the
state were asked to report monthly the
number of animals they had subjected to
the tuberculin test and the number that
were thus proven to have tuberculosis.
More than 200 made reports, and these
showed that 25 per cent of the hoga exam
ined and 19 per cent of the cattle examined
had tuberculosis.
While the per cent la low the total Is an
enormoua loss to the state. The Investiga
tion will be continued throughout the en
tire year and at the close of the year Mr.
Blmpson believes he will have a fairly ac
curate estimate of the extent of the prev
alence of tuberculosis among the cattle and
hogs of Iowa. ,' ( .
There are, according to assessors' and
census reports, about 6.000,000 hoga in the
state, and it Is estimated that at least ,000,
000 of theae are sold each year for
slaughter. The, value of. a 250-pound hog
is about $11.25. and with IVi per cent of
the hogs condemned each year as unfit for
food because of tuberculosis It Is easily fig
ured that the loss to the farmers la about
$850,0CO a tear. The loss falls on the farmer
for tht packer, must, in buyfng the bogs,
fix a price that will take Into account this
loss. . (',!
On the cattle an estimate must be more
of a . guess but It, la believed mat the loss
Is at least $1,250,000. It Is believed that there
are fully 2,000,000 cattle sold for slaughter
In Iowa yearly and 1H per cent are, ac
cording to the first month's reports, found
unfit for food.
The efforts of the State Board of Agri
culture will bo to educate the farmere of
the state to have their stock tested. Where
stock Is found to be affected by tuber
culosis It can then be sold subject to a
post-mortem examination. The authorities
all agree that cattle and hoga. sometimes
have tuberculosis without making them un
fit for food. For Instance, It Is found to
be frequently the case that an animal has
tuberculosis . of the lungs.' The tubercu
losis germs are confined In the lungs en
tirely and a microscopic examination ot the
quarters, of the ' animal after It Is killed
show that they are not affected nt all. The
animal Is therefore Just as good for food
as though It never had tuberculosis.
. But It la 'held that a cow or hog having
tuberculosis In the slightest degree should
not be kept in a herd for the reason that
it will grow worae rather than better and
will give the disease to the other animals
of , the herd,, by coming In contact with
them Just aa it )s transmitted from one
person to another. .Some of the farmers
plead that If the animal la killed they lose
It. As a matter of fact the animal kept
alive Is worsot than lost, ibecause It will
transmit It to the entire herd.
Extensive Investigations were made re
cently at the ' State Agricultural college
which proved that tuberculosis is trans
mitted through milk. A number of hogs
were subjected to the test and found to
be free from tuberculosis. They were then
fed on milk from a? cow that was known
to have tuberculosis and it was thus trans
mitted to the hogs. A farmer with a tuber
cular cow in his herd runa the risk of hla
family catching It and furthermore runs
the risk of the disease being transmitted
to the other animals of the herd. ,
. Organise for Allison.
- Headquarters ara ito be opened shortly
for1 Senator Allison In this city. A meeting
of the aenator'a friends waa held In Du
buque yesterday, at which an organization
waa perfected for the campaign. A com
mittee waa selected,, wMh John T. Adnma
of Dubuque as crulrman, and consisting of
Hon. Joe R. Lane of Davenport, Ernest E.
Hart of Council Bluffs, Lewie Miller of
Corydon, Charles Ftnkblne of Des Moines,
E. C. Roach ot Rock Raplda and B. W.
Lacy of Dubuque. The selection of the
committee Is pointed out by Senator Alli
son's friends aa putting to rest the rumor
that haa been circulated that he waa about
to withdraw.
The withdrawal of Congressman Blrdsatl
from the race In the Third district, which
Is now confirmed, was a:o claimed by the
opposition to Allison as proof that his forces
were disintegrating. Congressman Birdaall
admittedly sympathized with Senator Alli
son. Mr. Pickett of Waterloo, who Is one
of the strongest candidates for the posi
tion, haa, however, refused to be aligned
with either side in the contest, and it la
not believed that the withdrawal of Bird
aall haa anything to do with the United
States senatorship.
Was Hit at Bryan.
Bryan democrats, though refusing to bo
quoted, are not alow today In declaring that
the action of the state central committee
yesterday In sending one state convention
to Cedar Raplda and the other to Sioux
City la a direct alap at Bryan. They do
not care to be quoted because they are
Just now sharpening their knlvea and are
only getting ready for the fight. One of
the moat prominent and enthusiastic Bryan
men In the atate aald today:
"It waa a move of the reactionaries.
They have been profeaalng to be for Bryan
but there are only two on the committee
that are real Bryan men. But It means a
fight. The next atate central committee la
going to be all Bryan. The democrats of
Iowa don't propose to stand for thla any
longer."
The gist of the matter Is thla, that the
Bryan democrats met In thla city a couple
week ago. passed a resolution in favor
of two conventions, one to be held ,on the
same day aa tha Jefferson Day banquet,
April t. when Bryan waa to apeak here.
That convention would hare selected dele
gate to the national convention. The
state central committee turned the resolu
tion down. Bryan men drew their owd
conclualon.
tart Tost ea Lard.
In Justice court her today the state
food and dairy commissioner started the
teat case on the pur food law. Informa
tion waa filed against C. C. Chaa. on of
th largest grocer of the city. He mi.de
no defense and was fined $10 and ccata
and this will be appealed to th higher
court. The manufacturers claim that
their product, mad out of beef suet and
cottonseed oil. Is not an Imitation of pork
lard and not Intended .to be, but la an
original product of Its own and therefore
does not come under the pure food law.
Th atate department maintains that It Is
an Imitation, that It Is white like lard and
Is sold for Identically the purposes for
which lard Is sold. The atate will be
represented by the attorney general.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9 An Involuntary peti
tion in bankruptcy against Heath & Mllll
gan, one of the largest and oldest manu

Inability of the creditors to agree upon
a plan for the rehabilitation of tho firm's

pointed to devise plans for keeping the firm
going. None of the projects met with suffi
cient approval to n.ake It practicable, and

ALBANY. N. T., Feb. 9.-Chancellor
James R. Day of Syracuse university,
guest of honor at the annual meeting and
banquet of group V of the New York State
Bankers' association at the Ten Eyck
hotel, last nlg.ht In a speech again denounced
those who would create class hatred and
prejudice and cause distrust and suspicion
of business men "whose genius and money
turn the wheels which give employment tj
millions of laboring men and women."
Representative Charlca N. Fowler, chair
man of the house committee on banking
and currency, also delivered an address.
Governor Hughes was unable to be present
because of pressure of business. '
Speech of Mr. Fowler.
Mr. Fowler said In part:
"The bill, Introduced by me, provides for
a guaranty fund of $700,000,000 In the United
States treasury to protect the depositors
In national banks. All deposits In our
banks are Involuntary. No one has the
power of putting his money where he will
earn a fair rate of Interest say & per cent
absolutely free from risk, and at the
same time be able to recall it should he
desire to use It. Everyone must choose
some bank and the very fact of a choice
Implies a risk. Not one person In 6,000 has
any Idea whatever about the true Inward
ness of the bank at which he Is doing
business. In the last analysis it is abso
lutely a matter of faith, and blind faith at
that. When a bank falls It Is not aa though
a man's life has passed out or his home
burned down. Beyond this the ramifica
tions of credit lire so extended and Intri
cate that the business of the whole coun
try Is affected by bank failures. It Is Im
possible to estimate the evil consequences,
direct and indirect, growing out of them.
Would Avert Panics.
"Such a guaranty fund In the United
States treasury would avert panics. It
would prevent that fear which leads to
boarding. Unless the relief I advocate Is af
forded, sooner or later we shall have a
postal savlnga bank In this country, and
then the governmemt , "will have' to become
a large "buyer of bonds to Invest the ac
eumulatlona of lj -people, j ; ;;i;,-i .t ;"1
"More than this, the states are already
attempting to niect'thls demand. Oklahoma
has pawed a law providing for the guaran
tee of depositors. The legislature of Kan
aas has been called together to consider
this same step.
"Such legislation Is a form of socialism
and I am utterly opposed to It.
"It Is occasionally stated that the guar
anty of depositors would lead to unsound
banking. Does life Insurance or fire Insur
ance make a man neglectful of life or
home? Will not bank directors realize that
their losses must come out of their profits,
out of their reserves, out , their capital,
out of their reputation? Boards or directors
will be Just as aollcitious,- ahxlous, honest
and wise after they have guaranteed de
poses as. they were before, and banks, like
other Institutions.: will gain! not by mere
age and respectability, or by mer bulk of
capital, but rather 4y ability to meet the
requirements of their customers. Square
dealing and capacity will tell for Just as
much after deposits are guaranteed aa be
fore." ., '. ' .. ' .
Speech of Mr. Day.' '
Chancellor Day quoted from a speech of
Daniel Webster more than half a century
ago. denouncing what he called "Just such
attacka as those made In these days," and
declared that the-addrees eounded as If It
were delivered yesterday, but did not sound
like the one delivered a week ego yester
day. He protested against the Inference
being cast forth that the gteater proportion
of the business of the country being done
through corporations was criminal, and an
nounced that in the Interest of a "square
deal" we should call for a bill of particu
lars He concluded:
"If you acquiesce and by silence consent
to the Infamous work of the scandal mong
ers and permit the widening of the chasm
between our thrifty classes and the rest
less anarchistic socialists. If you Indiffer
ently look on and utter no word of protest
against an agitation that invites the an
arcltlst to sharpen his dagger, ftnd that
appeals to. the poor to take the property
of the rich with violence! because it has
been stolen from' them; If you admit the
Justice and righteousness of the assaults
upon the mighty forms of our finance,
manufacture and trade and the estate of
the successful In the development of our
Industries, I prophesy, as I did the panic
more than a year ago, from the aame
causes, that before another half a decade
blood will flow In our streets and the night
riders' torch will light tho heavens with
appalling glare."

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. -The Russe
Turklsh relations have entered upon a
menacing phase. Alarmed at the unchecked
Turkish penetration of Persia and moblltrn
tlon In Armenia, the Russian government
has decided to execute a formidable mili
tary demonstration In reply on the Turko
Perslan frontier, dispatching there a com
pact expedition of 60.iX select troops front
central Russia with full war equipment,
and It ils acting with uncommon rapidity,
with a view to overawing the Turks by
a decisive exhibition of force.
The War office drew p plana for th
expedition and hurriedly submitted them
to the Duma on Friday. The commttleo
on defense assembled In virtually a closed
session.
A representative of the War office briefly
and impressively outlined the Turkish
preparation, on which Russia la fully In
formed, and aaked for an open credit for
the maintenance of an army of 0,0f0 men.
He met the possible argument of econornjr
by saying that Russia had expended blood
and treasure In Manchuria In vain, owing
to the Initial backwardness.
The empire's prestige In the middle cast,
he said, Is now also In the balance and
Russia must be prepared to defend It.
M. Guchkoff, leader of the Octoberlst
party, tn a speech ssld that the majority
of the members of the Duma are Russian
patriots and willing to part with their laat
ahlrt to defend (he fatherland. Tho com
mittee In a high pitch of patriotism passod
the appropriation unanimously.
At (he same session the War offlc ob
tained sanction for a further aum of J10,
000,000 to create floating batteries along the
Baltic coast, which, owing to the weakness
of the navy. Is at the mercy of Germany.
