TAKEN TO CHICAGO TO REPLACE STRIKERS When He Refused to Work in Place of Freight Handlers Company Re fuses Him Transporta tion Back Home, Use any soap ao It Ftck'1 soap. John T. Hasen of Avoca, former sheriff of Pottawattamie county, is having the papers drawn for a damage suit against the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific Rail road company. This suit arises from the recent strike of the freight handlers in Chicago. . A son of Mr. Hazen, who la a student at Drake university, secured work for the summer vacation with the concrete bridge gang on the Rock Island near Avoca. When the strike began In Chicago the Rock Ia land as well as other railroads affected sent out requisitions for men In their em ployment at different points to handle their freight In Chicago. The boas of the gang with which young Hazen was work ing was instructed to send into Chicago as many men ss he could possibly spare. Young Hazen and Ave others were sent into Chicago, but when they reached there and learned that they were to take the place of the striking freight handlers they refused to work, stating that they were not scabs. The railroad, It Is alleged, when the men declined to go to work refused to furnish them transportation back to Iowa and Hazen and his six companions were practically stranded In the Windy City. Hazen had a small sum of mcney with him, which he advanced to hla Ave companions as a "grub stake" and they succeeded In beating their way back home. Young Hazen wrote to the boss of his gang at Avoca, asking htm to send him a paas, but the bridge boss, al though willing, was powerless to do so, as the company refused to Issue It when it learned who It was for,. When young Hazen's resources were ex hausted he decided to make his way home aa best be could and succeeded In doing so after being put off several trains on which he attempted to beat his way. It Is alleged that Hazen and the other men with him were Induced to go to Chi gaco on misrepresentations. They allege that when the bridge gang boas was In structed to send them Into Chicago they were told they were wanted there on ac count of several washouts on the line and no Intimation given that they were to take the place of striking freight handlers. Mr. Hasen will base his suit for damages on behalf of his son, who is a minor, on those grounds, and also on the grounds that he was sent to Chicago without his (the father's) permission being first obtained. Mr. Hazen has placed the suit in the hands-of his attorney, who Is now prepar ing the papers, but the amount which will be sued for has not been stated. The action, it Is expected, will be Died In the Pottawattamie district court at Avoca. where he went he waa greeted by old as sociates. In the crowd he would hear 'Prof. Macl-ean," and, although the party mlrht not be visible, he waa sure it was a Minneotlan. Another group would greet him 'ChancVlnr MacLran." and ih.-e was no mistaking that a Neliraskan was ntar. The "president" salutation denoted that an lowan waa In sight. Under the circum stances he admits that It waa necessary to be on 'one a best behavior. Davenport Democrat: Colonel M. M. Price, a former Uavenporter and well known to our oldest citizens, but for some years a reMdnt of South Dakota at Woon socket. has left for Jeres, Spain, where he will serve aa consul. Thla will be the colonel's second appointment to consular eervlre. he having been conaul general at Marseilles, France, during the Franco Prussian war and won considerable distinc tion during those stirring times.

Mr. Price waa colonel of the Thirteenth Iowa regiment during the civil war. He Is well known over this state aa an orator aa well aa a leader. He was the founder of the people's party In South Dakota, but during the Inst three years has been back in the republican ranks and la now a strong advocate of the repub lican party's principles. Washington Letter to Philadelphia Press: Secretary and Mrs. Bhaw have been much amused because all who beard that their children were being educated at Cornell college Immediately concluded that It desig nated Cornell, at Ithaca, N. Y. The sec retary Is most profoundly convinced that everything in Iowa surpasses all competi tors and he contends that Cornell In Iowa was founded years before Its more famous rival by a brother of Ezra Cornell and that the western Institution has more stu dents and la doing better work than Its eastern namesake. Thla argument haa led to much good-natured chaff and to pro longed discussion between the secretary and hla associates. Cedar Rapids Republican: The state of Iowa now for the ilrst time has a woman In the capacity of parole" clerk In Dee Moines. The governor haa named his sis ter. Miss Anna B. Cummins, for that re sponsible position. Mlaa Cummins is not quite an ordinary woman. She is a woman of much ability In business matters. She la a stenographer by profession.

DES MOINES, July 20. (Special.) The organization of what will be known aa the Commercial Association of Iowa will be formed In Des Moines at a meeting to be held September 2 next, during the state fair. D. B. Lyons of thla city was elected temporary president of an organization at Cedar Rapids looking to this end. There were represented at the provisional meet ing the commercial bodies of Dea Moines, Cedar Rapids, Sioux City, Davenport, Mar shalltown, Mason City, Oelweln and Iowa City. It Is planned to combine the local associations of Jobbers, shippers and com mercial bodies generally and to hold an nual meetings. The following were agreed upon as the special and immediate object of the association: . Next Encampment. The third ot the series of regimental encampments by the Iowa National Guard will begin at Atlantic next Tuesday. Major Hume of the adjutant general's staff re turned from Atlantic, where he had In spected the campground with a 'view to understanding whether It would be all right In case of continued wet weather. Ha found It entirely satisfactory and no amonut of rain can prevent a good encamp ment. The campground at Cedar Falls last week was on a high knoll and the rain did not Interfere In the least like it did at Fonda. The companies of the Fifty first will go to Atlantic on Tuesday. The companies from Knoxvllle, Oskaloosa, Wlnterset, Des Moines and Stuart will go on a special early in the day, and with them will be the band from Centervlllo. The companleseln southwestern Iowa will go around by Council Bluffs or over the Orlswold branches of the Rock Island and Burlington.

The flooded region In Iowa has moved to the southeast during the past week and the lower stretches of the rivers are now overflowed. The Des Moines river below Ottumwa and on to Keokuk Is spreading out over the adjacent land and doing great damage to crops. The Skunk river, which has a low and wide valley, is higher than known for more than half a century and Is running over land that has not before been flooded. The railroads In that part of the state are heavy sufferers. The Rock Island trains have been delayed and In some cases have been compelled to go a round-about way to reach their destina tion. The rain ot the past week, which has been over a part of the state which had not before suffered greatly, has been almoat as bad as any of the rainstorms of June. The damage done to growing grain and to hay especially in eastern Iowa Is very great. To Inaugurate a vigorous and continuous policy of advertising throughout the United States and in such forelun countries as may be deemed wIho and from which largo immigration to America ia known to bo made, the resources of Iowa, not only as an agricultural state, but especially as a manufacturing state.

That good roads for Iowa be given the Immediate and continued attention by this association that their Importance deserves. That any and every proper subject of legislation affecting the general welfare of Iowa and the common welfare of the vari ous cities and towna in which the associa tion members are located be given energetic attention from time to time. Delay In Organising Police Force. The new police and fire commission, ap pointed under a new law, tas been de layed in the work of organising a police force on a civil service basis, and It is con sldered probable that as soon as the first step Is taken In a suit In court for an In Junction will stop all the preliminaries There are those who have opposed the formation of the commission and they be lleve that the law Is so defective that the court will declare It void. In the meantime there are Increasing troubles between the members of the police force and other city officers. Sewage Systems to Bo Tried, The Board of Control will recommend to the superintendents at the Mt. Pleasant hospital, Mltcholvllle Reform school and the Davenport Orphans' home that tley give contracts to a Chicago company for the building of modern sewage systems at those Institutions on the following bids of the company: Mltchellvllle, $2,225; Div enport, $4,450; Mt. Pleasant, $7,250. The contractors agree to use labor and ma. terlal furnished by the state at Mt. Pleas ant, which would reduce the cost about $1,200. These sewage, systems ars guar anteed automatic, will have a combination of; tank and filters and will be operated by the contractors for at least two years after they are built, so as to make sure that they will he satisfactory. If they are successful It Is expected that similar plant will be placed In operation In several cltiei of the state. The board has $25,000 with which to erect the plants, but can save some ot the appropriation for other work No Increase of Telephone Taxes. The executive council haa made only pre. llmlnary figures on the telephone and tele graph asseasments for the state and has covered all the larger telephone companle and the two telegraph companies, but It Is learned that there 1 not likely to be any substantial Increase In the assessment of this class of property. The telegraph com pantes have made no complaint of their assessment and only a few of the minor telephone companies have asked for a re duction.
