WHISKY WAR ON IN EARNEST
Charles J, Dobbins Promises to Close Evory
Saloon In Town,
OPENS BY AN ATTACK ON JOHN LINDT
Senrcli Wnrrnnt for n Wholesale
Stock Served, but llciided CUT by
n u Injunction from the
Superior Court.
Charles J. Dobbins, tho opera house sa
loon keeper, whose saloon was raided Mon
day night and stock of liquor seized under
a search warrant issued from tho court of
Justlco Vtcn, Is on tho warpath and threat
ens to close overy saloon In tho city un
less he is permitted to run his place
without molestation. Ho commenced oper
ations by swearing out a search warrant
for tho wholesale liquor houso of John
Llndt on South Main street. Tho war
rant was Issued by Justice Vlen and Con
Btablo Atbcrtl about 6 o'clock nttached
tho stock. As tho stock Involves in the
neighborhood of $100,000 and consists of
barrel goods, which fill the two floors nud
tho basements of two store buildings, It
was found Impossible to removo It, bo the
constable placod a deputy In charge, in
tending to mnko arrangements to move
tho stock and storo olsewhero this morn
ing. Llndt was taken completely by surprise,
but nt onco cnllcd In his attorney, who
went before Judgo Aylcsworth of tho
superior court and secured a writ of in
junction restraining Justlco Ovldo Vlen,
Constnble Albertl and C. J. Dobbins from
enforcing tho search warrant or In nny
wny Interfering with the stock of liquor.
As soon ns tho order from Judge Ayles
worth'a court was served, Constablo Al
bert! released the Btock of liquors.
IR'fciiMo Undo by Limit.
In tho petition for tho restralnlug order
It is alleged that Justlco Vlen has no
Jurisdiction nnd that tho search warrnnt
was void nnd Illegal, Inasmuch ns Llndt
had substantially compiled with the
statutes In relation to the Belling and
koeplng for sale of intoxicating llquora and
that no part of his stock of liquors is
subject to selzuro under tho warrant. The
allegation is nlso mado that C. J. Dobbins
Is not a rellablo or credible citizen and Is
Insolvent nnd that Justlco Vlen failed to
pass upon that fact beforo issuing the
writ.
Dobbtns has been unable, so ho claims,
to discover tho animus that prompted J.
W. Scott to swear out a warrant for the
selzuro of his stock of liquors and ho said
last evening that unless ho could run his
snloon, 'no other saloon in tho city could
run. "I will close overy saloon in town
nnd perhaps that will force them to show
their band and then I can learn why I was
singled out and my saloon closed," he
said.
J. W. Scott, who secured tho search
warrant against Dobbins' snloon, refuses
to give any information and snld yester
day that ho alono is in possession of tho
factB that prompted tho seizure. Justlco
Vlen, who Issued tho warrnnt, also persisted
In claiming lgnornnco of tho motive. Tho
announcement that Dobbins threatened to
closo all tho snloona In tho city has caused
much excitement nnd alarm among the
saloon men, as It Is believed that Dob
bins will carry his threat into execution.

IIUIIKIl'S CHAHOHS AGAINST IIAHDKX
Haiti of tho I'ronccntloii of th Street
Siiprrvldor H-for tlie Council.
Aldorman Hubcr, chairman of tho commlt
teo on streets and nlloyB, filed with the city
clerk yesterday written charges ngalnst John
M. Harden, street supervisor. The charges,
which nro more or less of a general char-
actor, aro divided into six counts and are
as follows:
Tlmf lm hns shown himself during the
form n r IiIh iiilU'd ii h Htich commissioner
lucnpablo of handling the men under his
charge for tho renson that ho docs not
properly ueop uhck unu ciicck w wimi
Ills men nro doing, or when, or how long,
in wlmrn lhiv urn worklntr.
Ho persists In keeping tho men under
his charge scattereJ In many pl'ic ovtr
tho city at the rnmo tlmo so that It Is
Impossible for him to watch over them,
resulting In his spending most of his tlmo
In going from ono l 'ace to unnther Instea 1
of miperlntcndltui tho work that his men
urn doing.
Hn wastes bis tlmo In looting nnd loiter
lng In certain places In tho city during
working hours nnd neglects his duties as
such olllcer.
Ho fulls to get tho proper amount of work
out of his men nnd snends too much monoy
for the amount of labor performed and if
ho Is retained In otllco tho funds belonging
to tlio streets ami alleys commltteo will bo
exhausted beforo the end of the llscal year.
Ho does not exercise good Judgment In re
tmlrlnc tho streets of the city and does not
keqp correct records of thn work that Is
done upon the Htreots, paying for work
men who never performed tho same.
Ho Is overbearing, abusive and profane
to tho citizens of the city when tlioy at
tempt to confer with blm In regard to busi
ness ennneeteu Willi ills onicial position.
Alderman Hubcr asks that Supervisor
Harden bo removed from the office. Tho
hearing on theso charges will be held In
open meeting of tho city council next
Wednesday night, at which time Harden
has been notified to attend, Harden hati
retained ex-City Solicitor A. S. Hazeltun
m his attorney In the matter.
Slnco Alderman Huber started out for
Warden's official head the question has
arisen ns to whom tho street commissioner
Is responsible. The ordluunco creating the
office Is uot very clear upon this point, as
In one place It puts him under the control
of the chairman of the streets nnd alloys
committee nnd In another under tho
direction of the city engineer.
Harden had several men employed yea
terday cleaning tho dirt off Lower Main
street and hauling It tn Sixteenth nvo
nue. Alderman Huber refused to allow tho
dirt to be removed from between tho tracks
of the street car company, saying that tho
company should do this work Itself. Ilrre
toforo It has nlvvayu been customary fo
the city to clean tho entire street, as tho
street car company pays taxen for tho sup
port of tho municipal government the sarao
as tho ordinary citizen.

DES MOINES, Au,t. 1. (Special Tele
gram,) Today's republican stato convention
was by long odds the largest and most en
thusiastic tho party has seen for many
years and tho uork of tho day purports an
unprecedented victory In tho stnto this fall.
Tho great auditorium building, burned to
tho ground on the morning of Juno 17 and
rebuilt by tho citizens of Dcs Moines tn
forty-four days, was packed to tho doors
with a crowd of over 5,000 peoplo and there
were hundreds who could not obtain nd-
mission.
It was n day of lively contests, hut tho
party emerges from It with a clean front
nnd thoso who expected tho spirited strug
glo would end in many being dissatisfied
nnd disgruntled were sadly disappointed.
Tho best of feeling prevails among nil to
night and tho dclegntos returning home
seem to bo Imbued with tho ono desire of
making the majority this fall a record-
breaker. In his Bpeech ns temporary chair
man this morning, Hon. W. L. Roach of
Muscatine set 100,000 ns the mark for tho
majority In Iowa In November, and after
tho contests wero nil over nnd district and
sectional fights had been forgotten it was
the sentiment of all that the mark must
bo reached. Iowa Is In tho fight on national
linos and when Congressman Hcdgo of Bur
lington, tho chairman of the committee on
resolutions, said that tho republicans of
Iown had no other platform to present for
the campaign thnn tho national platform of
Philadelphia, "which meets with tho un
qualified approval of Iowa republicans," the
convention went wild and cheerod him to the
echo. Tho mention of tho nnmes of McKln-
ley and Roosevelt brought tho convention to
Its feet every time.
I'rnyer for Conner' Safety.
A pathotlc feature of the convention was
tho adoption of tho resolution praying for
tho tafcty and succor of United Minister
Conger and his family nt Pekln. Chnlrman
Hcdgo of tho committee on resolutions
started to read the resolution, but asked
ono of tho secretaries to finish it. Tho res
olution wns read nmld a deathlike stillness
and when Chairman Trowln slowly and sol
emnly stated that It was unanimously car
ded his wcro uot the only oyes In tho great
assemblage that wcro full of tears. Min
ister Conger Is a resident of Des Moines and
Iowa and thcro was hardly a man In nil
that great gathering who does not know and
honor him. " '
After tho convention was called to or
der nt 11 o'clock by Chairman Weaver, he
Introduced Hon. W. L. Roach of Muscatine.
His address as tomporary chairmnn con
sumed an hour and was received with
great enthusiasm.
ltoncli on Iiuperlnlisni.
Concerning Imperialism, tho paramount
Issuo of tho Kansas City platform, Mr.
Roach said, In part:
President MqKlnley showed tho highest
consideration and solicitude for tho opin
ions of tho masses of the peoplo In shaping
tho policy of this government nt tho close
of the Spanish war. Ho sought counsel
from the wisest men In both parties and
from them turned to the peoplo for the con
firmation or rejection of tho policy of ex
pansion. Ho came to tho broad prairies and
populous cities of proud Iowa und found
tho music word, "Expansion," upon every
Hp. Ho wrote It In tho American policy In
obodlonco to the command of tho people.
Wo have expanded.
The full moasure of the possible benefits,
or tho extent of the dlltlcultlcs with which
wo may bo confronted In the development
of the Islands, cannot, with certainty, bo
determined. That tho Islands we hnvo ac
quired possess great nntural wealth, thcro
can bo no doubt. Thnt thev nro of com
manding Importance In connection with the
extension of American commcrco is uni
versally conceded. Tho commcrco of the
Pacific Is In Its Infancy, nud by reason of
our geographical location und wonderful
achievements In manufactures, wo can
easily become tho controlling factor In tho
futuro commerce of that great sea.
Tho demand for extended markets is uni
versal. Tho republlcnn policy of encourag
ing American shipping In connection with
tho great natural wealth of our Island pos
sessions, and their commanding location,
promise results for prosperity at homo nnd
honorable achievements abroad beyond the
expectation of tho average American. The
republican party stunds tor tho courageous
course.
.No buckwnrd step with dishonor. One
fact seems clear beyond question: that the
InterebtH of tho American people will cer
tainly bo best i-crved by continuing In
power tho president and party who have
Inaugurated this policy, who bellove In It,
and who are not afraid of tho responsibility
wiucn it entails.
From llrst to last In nil things ncrtaln
lng to tho Spanish-American war Presi
dent McKlnlev has shown himself tho
greatest and wisest mnn in tho nation, lie
more than anyone else tried to avert the
war. IIIh lnr-seelng statesmanship en
abling him to forecast tho possibility of
complications nt Its close and his experi
ence as n soldier giving him a truo knowl
edge of the horrors of war. Not slnco
the administration of Abraham Lincoln
has there been ono so thoroughly entitled
to thn npprnval of nil patriotic men nnd
mere, is mucn consolation to ino inougui
fill mind in tho fact that tho administra
tion of tho martyred Lincoln wns much
morn bitterly assullcd by tho fault-finding
Fnrty than lias been President McKlnlcy's.
Us administration Is without a parallel
