TilM JJhhl: (KM AH A, MONDAY, (K71X)H-;i6 17, 1!1(. .7 J J f i V Council Bluffs INTEREST IN THE CORN SUOW Half a Dozen States May Come in and Make Exhibits. SLOGAN 13 NOW AGREED TJPON lAnt ( Prises Orowlac Aatontnhlle Ma Mk Application for Spar la Which to Show Their M achinea. Aftar a competition extending over a lrtol of asveral month and Involvln contestant In half a rtoren nates, the executive committee of the Corn show has elected the motto that la to be the slogan of the Missouri Valley Corn Growers as dafton and to be Inwrlbed over the doorway of the exposition building- and mblasoned on all of the prlntol matter to b used henceforth In connection with th event. There were hundreds of lot tery received and In many of them .there were many mottoes. Hut a Nebraska man auooeeded In winning the prize by submit ting1 the beat phrase, and winning the prise, a diamond ring-. The rules governing- the oontest were tmple. The contestants were required to submit phrases that meant something, that ware catchy, easily remembered and wbJoX would promote interest In the freat movement that Is on for the Im provement of the qualKy and yield of the orn fields. The committee realized that the right phrase might become a national Axiom, that would Inspire every tiller of the soil with new seal In his work. Among the con tent ants was R. F. Roggenbach of "Wiener, Neb. Early In the contest he sent In some phrases, but they didn't suit him and he eont In others, lie thought over the matter and realized the Importance aid value of the orprtunlty that had been offered, and he sent some more. When the Judges selected by the Com how managers, C. R. Hannan, Jr., Ed ward Duquette and Robert Henderson, came to the task of looking over the hun dreds of mottoes offered, they found those submitted by Roggenbaoh, and sev eral of them remained when the elimination p roc ens reduced the number to less than score, and when the final choice was made all the Judges had selected the last sent by Roggenbaoh, "The Corncrlbs are the Nation's Bulwarks." The Oorn show people have no know ledge of the personality of Mr. Roggen bach beyond that conveyed In a number of short snappy letters, written In an any Bpenoertan hand, with every word correctly spelled, faultless punotuatlon and jerfect capitalization, and they den't know whether he makes his living by tilling the soil or holding- down a college professorship. They did realize, however, that the phrase he submitted grows upon one and expresses the full purpose of the organisers of the Missouri Valley Corn Growers' aanocltalon. The prize Is a $75 diamond ring, contributed by ncrman Xfferts, the Council Bluffs Jeweler. The task of the Judges was a tremendous one and Involved many days of labor. There were so many that were excellent that the Choice required Inductive analysis. At the weekly meeting of the Joint com mittee of the National Horticultural con gress and the Corn show yesterday, It was decided to set the opening day as the date for the students' Judging con test, when teams from state universities Will again compete for the handsome olid silver cup offered by The Omaha Dally Bee 1 and The' Twentieth Century Farmer. The rules of the oontest require the cup to be won twice by the same before It becomes the property of the Winners. It was the prize In the ontests at the exposition last fall and was won by the Nebraska State university team. The Kansas Stale university team came econd, Iowa third and Missouri fourth. The same teams will again compete this year, and the keenness of the competition will make the event of even greater inter est than It awakened last year. Overtures were made yesterday, whloh, If enoouraged, may add an automobile how to the big Joint fruit and corn how. Application was mado by two big automobile companies for space to exhibit their machines. It happens that the Council Bluffs exposition dates fall on the ame fixed last year for the annual meet ing of the Iowa and Nebraska Wholesale and Retail Implement Dealers' associa tion, which has about 1,500 members and meets In Omaha. Implement, dealers have always sold vehicles, and now most of them are selling automobiles. The manu facturers realise that It would be an ex cellent opportunity tq make a hit by giv ing a good automobile show In connec tion with tlie exposition. Council Bluffs Implement men are equally interested in the dealers' convention and about all of the visitors oome to Council Bluffs dur ing the meeting, and of course all will attend the corn and fruit show. The ex position management can enslly provide the required room, and will do so If the demand la made, Prises for Students.

Iowa IOWANS READY t OR WINTER State Enjoying Most Delightful Fall Weather of Years. CORN ALL EEADY FOR CRIBS Mr. Bryan's peerhet in Hawkeye Stat Hare Already Stirred Vp Row Amona Democrats Dry Forces In Trouble Also. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES. Ia., Oct. IS (Special.) The state of Iowa has enjoyed the last three weeks the most "delightful weather ever known, and as a consequence the peo ple are generally In a happy frame of mind. The rural communities are reported to be most prosperous. The season had not been especially favorable and the crops were a little backward, so that the good fall weather was a help In finishing out the season. But, according to all re ports, the corn has ripened and Is now ready for gathering and there has not yet been anywhere in the slate sufficient frost to kill the growing vines. The pas tures had been In very bad condition be cause of the long drouth In midsummer, but late rains and cool weather has brought out the grass and the pastures were never finer than now. The state weather and crop bureau re ports that conditions have seldom been better for the coming of winter than now. The banking and financial circles also report a very good season. There is an abundanoe of money In the banks for the handling of business and there Is no pros pect of any heavy drain on the banks. Work of nistorlcal Society. The twenty-eighth biennial report of the Board of Curators of the State Historical Society of Iowa, which haa been placed In the hands of Governor Carroll, con tains a recommendation to the legislature that fij.OOO be added to the annual support of the society. m This increase la asked on account of the grow th of the organization and the extensive scientific historical re search carried on under the direction of the society. It is pointed out in tho re port that without additional support the society cannot hope to command the serv ices of the most competent research scholars. It also points out that the so ciety has had exceeding difficulty In hold ing Its research scholars because It was not able to pay them adequate salaries. In the last two years no less than four valuable assistants have been taken else where through this cause. In reference to the employment of re search assistants, Prof. Benjamin Sham baugh of the State University of Iowa, who Is superintendent of the State His torical society and editor of its publica tions, declares that the society must be In a position to compete with colleges and universities In paying salaries. The so ciety, In order to carry on Its work, must employ men, says he, who have spent years in the study of history and who have had the best of training in historical research. Little Doing In Politics. It Is confessed at political headquarters that there la not as much doing as usual. The republican state committee has been devoting Its entire time to organization, and has furnished no literature of any kind to the press, nor sent out any speakers. Governor Carroll is the only speaker un der the direction of the state committee, though the congressional committees have done much. The democrats have been far more active and confident and have a good working committee alive to the situation, and they would make a stirring campaign If they had the funds to handle it with. This does not seem to be possible, how ever. The socialists and prohlh'.tlonlsts have also dons some work, but arj making no stir. Mr. Bryan's Omissions. Mr. Bryan, who was brought to the state for the purpose of stirring up the democrats and giving them the Inspiration of hope, Is being criticised on the side for what he failed to do. For Instance, he spoke here and commended the democ.ra.tlo candidate for governor In high praise, Dut he failed to mention Parley Sheldon, the candidate for lieutenant governor, who sat beside him on the platform. So, also, while In the Eighth district he made spe cial mention of the democratic candidate for Judge, but here he failed to mention any of the candidates for Judge; and In fact failed to mention any of the state candidates, except one. The failure to refer to some of the candidates, who are particularly the candidates of the liquor Interests, and failure to refer to the state platform, which Is for local option, Is causing some comment. Dry Forces Have Trouble. Despite all efforts the prohibition forces of the state have been unable to get en tirely together for the campaign. Tho Anti-Saloon league and the constitutional amendment association have Joined In favor of boosting the movement for a con stitutional convention. At first they were working at cross purposes, but now they have agreed to work In harmony. But the prohibition party still refuses to Join them and Chairman Jones Is out In a statement in which he denounces the others for the position they have tsken and asserts that the only way to secure prohibition In Iowa is by voting the ticket of th party. Bank Demands New Trial. Declaring that the verdict was contrary to law, and that Judge Brennan erred In taklns the case from the Jury, the Citizens' National bank has filed a motion for a new trial in its suit against the Western Union Telegraph company. A smooth stranger secured S500 from the bank on a fake telegram, and suit was brought to re cover this sum. Joins In Hate Case. In a lett-r to E. Q. Wylle. freight rate commissioner to the Greater Des Moines committee John L. Stevens, a dlrcetor of the Boone Commercial club, announces thst the club has decided to Intervene for Boone in the coming rate suit. The club will assist in shoving the state's com p'alnta against the railroads. Soil Special is Given Greeting Iowa Farmers and Cititens Generally Are Glad to Welcome Instruc tion in This Line.

CENSUS FRAUDS CHARGED Director Durand Asserts Returns in Several Cities Were Tadded. TACOMA'S ATTEMPT IS WORST l.lsta as Tnrned In Were Increased Wronafnlly to an Kxtent of Forty Per Cent Other Ex pnisrri Expected. WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. Made suspicious by the enormous growth shown by the re turns of the new census for a number of western cities. Director Durand cf the Cen sus bureau ordered an investigation, the result of which arpeared In the announce ment tonight that gross frauds had been perpetrated. Mr. Durand gave out also a letter from President Taft. directing that persons Im plicated In the alleged frauds should be prosecuted. Cities specifically mentioned as being af fected by the frauds are Tacoma, Seattle and Aberdeen, WaFh.; Portland, Ore.; Min neapolis, Minn.; Boise, Ida., and Fort Smith, Ark, but It is said that there are many others. The result of a second enumeration of Tacoma, Wash., was announced tonight The city shows a population of 82.972, an Increase of 4f.2.V5, or 130 per cent over the population of The first flgtlres tumeA tn for Tacoma were 11R.24S. In other words the actual population was radded to the extent of which would have meant a further addition of 40 rer cent. These additions were made In thirty-four out of seventy-three enumeration districts In Taooma. In some of these districts the number reported proved to be several times greater than the actual population. In ten districts the first enumeration showed 29,753 names, whereas the correct number was found to be 11,646. Taft Approves Action. The statement issued by Director Du rand, consists in the main of a letter from himself addressed to Secretary Nagel of the Department of Commerce and Labor, dated October 8, :n which the whole case Is presented and of a brief letter from President Taft to Mr. Nagel of date of October 11. The letter of President Taft follows: "Beverly, Mass. Oct. 11, 1!H0: I have read Director Durnnd's letter and agree with him that It ought to be published. The cases of all those who appear to have violated the law should be investi gated by tho grand Jury, and if sufficient evidence is found to Justlty It, they should be Indicted and prosecuted. Nothing will so conduce to securing a proper census as the prosecution of those who attempt a fraud upon the law. I am led to believe that the present census has been much freer from attempted frauds than any previous census, but the Instances cited by Mr. Durand are sufficient to require the utmost vigilance to bring those who have violated the law to Justice and proper punishment. Sincerely yours, "WILLIAM H. TAFT." Fraudulent Slips I'aed. The letter of Director Durand addressed to Secretary Nagel also sets forth that attempted "padding" of the census was brought about mainly through the use of slips printed by private Individuals and containing the census questions. These were distributed very generally on street corners and elsewhere and were filled out by thousands of people who either had al ready been enumerated or who were not permanent residents of the city and not entitled to enumeration. It is possible that in some cases the names were wholly flo tlctlous. These slips were turned over by the private individuals who collected them through a special agent of the census bureau named Corwln. to thirty-four of the enumerators, and they, under the in structions of Corwln, added the names to the enumeration by assigning them as "boarders" or "lodgers" to various houses in their districts. "In other words, the director states, the enumerators deliberately made the false statement that these persons were resi dents at this or that particular street number, although the enumerators knew nothing whatever with regard to the names so fraudulently added. The di rector says the census bureau's work in rechecklng or recounting the population of these "padded" districts in Tacoma was done with the greatest care. In order that the full population might be ascertained. Attempts In Other Cities. The director declared also that more or less extensive attempts at "padding" the census had been discovered In other cities mentioned, and he adds that Investigations are In progress with reference to a number of other cities. Full information rgarding these cases will be made public later.. In many Instances, he states, this "pad ding" consisted of the repetition ot visits by the enumerator to hotels, boarding and lodging houses. In this manner people who came to the city after the census day, perhaps merely for a stay of a few days were added to the enumeration as resi dents. Director Durand said today that the suspicion of the chief statistician, Will iam Hunt, and Chief of Division William H. Davis, of the population division of the census bureau with regard to the census of Tacoma were aroused when en a careful examination of the schedules in the office at Washington, it waa found that there were an absurdly large number of families reporting great numbers of roomers and lodgers. William A. McKenzle, a bureau expert who had charge of the enumeration of the Fourth district of Alaska, was sen! by Director Durand to Tacoma and made a thorough investigation. In the ten districts mentioned, a complete re-enumeratlon was made, while In the twenty-four other suspicious districts the head of each house was visited and Invest! gated. Many names were assigned to va cant lots and they were eliminated. Blame Special Agents. The director says it Is not yet known whether any Individuals or group of Indi viduals were responsible for the false enumeration in Tacoma. The claim Is made that the names were given to the enumerators with the avowed purpose of ascertaining whethe' they had been listed. Instead of using th nam-. for this pur pose the enumerators added them without making any Investigation. In excuse for this course they say they wtre acting un der directions of Stacey M. Corwln. one of the special agents of the census bureau at Tacoma. He distributed large bunches of the slips among the enumerators, stat ing, Mr. Durand alleges, that the tiaines were those of bona fide residents who should be registered.
