PARKER A BCD THE OLD SOLDIER
Democratic Veteran Deserts the Party
aad Tells Why Ho Did It.
Dr. S. B. Tobey of Oakland, Pottawatta
mie county, a veteran democratic wax
horse, has publicly announced his deter
mination to caat his vote this year for
President Roosevelt. Dr. Tobey Is a vet
eran of the civil war and the following
open letter from him In the Carson Critic
gives his reason for not voting for Judge
Parker:
I was In the thick of the scrap all the
way down to (Atlanta; was there when the
city fell; then went "marching through
Georgia," and got to the sea a little be
fore Sherman did. 1 hnd nil the war there
that anybody did. I never hod a pension,
because I never asked for one, and I never
asked because I never sustained any injury
or Incurred any disability that I felt en
titled me to one. At last, however, the
government granted a pension to every
soldier that had passed the age limit, and
that Included me with the rest; so I filed
my papers and received my money. It ain't
very much, and I didn't particularly need
It, hut regarded It as a sort of honorable
recognition for what I had done, and I felt
proud of It. Now comes our man Parker
and says that If he Is elected he will cut
off that service pension. That's all he has
fromlsed. 1 don't care for the money; It
sn't that, but I don't like the principle of
the thing and I am not going to vote for
Parker this year. That's what I say, and
you may say Uiat I said It.

Two Parties Dumped In the Ditch
and Members Are Injared.
WATERLOO. Ia., Nov. 5. (Special.) Two
quite serious accidents, caused by the
tricks en the automobile, have occurred to
Waterloo people within the last day or
two. Yesterday morning W. W. Marsh of
the Iowa Dairy Separator company, ac
companied by his little daughter Miriam
and Hon. Sam Wright of Tipton, who had
addressed a large meeting of democrats
the evening before, together with his chauf
feur, started to Waverly, a distance of
twenty-five miles, where Mr. Wright was
to speak last evening. On the way In try
ing to turn outsfor a heavily loaded wagon
the machine was overturned and the oc
cupants thrown out. All were severely
bruised and the host suffered a badly
sprained ankle. A rig was secured and
they returned to Waterloo, where Mr.
Wright took an afternoon train and was
thus able to meet his Waverly engagement.
The other accident occurred on Tuesday
evening last, when three young society
people, Place Myers of the Waterloo
Courier, his sister, Matilda Myers, and
Myrtle VanVleck, were guests of Robert
Knox of the Waterloo Saddlery company
In his new tonneau. They were bound for
Cedar Falls, a distance ot only a few
miles. In trying to avoid a heavy snag
the machine was turned to one aide, only
to discover a ditch. It was all over In an
Instant, ths party being hurled In various
directions. Three of them soon extricated
themselves, but only after a search was
Miss VanVleck discovered. She was under
the car, severely bruised, and It Is feared
Injured Internally. She Is a beautiful girl,
who received second place In the contest
for queen of the carnival last summer. The
car, which was of expensive make, had to
be sent to the factory to be built over entirely.

subject, he carried his audience right with

SCOTTISH TRADE IS POOR
Glasgow Considers tho Esnployment
of Its Poor Daring Times
of Distress.
GLASGOW. Nov. 6.-(Speclal Cablegram
to The Bee.) Presiding at the Glasgow
Charity Organisation socle-ty'a annual meet.
Ing this week the duke of Montrose ex
pressed fear that trade prospects on the
Clyde were poor. In London and Man
chester most pessimistic views were taken.
His grace deplored the Increasing number
of foreigners amongst those seeking char
ity In Glasgow and denounced the gov
ernment for permitting pauper aliens to
land In Great Britain. Twenty-six per
cent of the relief cases were traced to
Intemperance. Intemperance might be les
sened by legislation and better housing,
but the best remedy was ths IncarceraJ
tlon ot drunkards, who were a drain on
the charity of every large city, if they
overcame Intemperance they would do
away with cne-fourth of tns charity so
cieties. Ths lord provost of Glusgow said Glas
gow had years ago, during a period of
trade depression, taken moss land not
worth 1 shilling an acre and today It bors
rich crops. The corporation, had much

COMMISSION WINS ITS SUIT
Judg Ereonan at Dei gfin9 Dismiuei

ARTIST IS DISTINGUISHED FROM ARTISAN
Coart Declares t'spltol t'ommlasloa
Has Right to Make Coatraet for
Deenratlasr Wlthsat Asking
Competl'.lcn hy Bids.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINES, Nov. S. (Special.) Th
state caj-ltol commission won n sweeping
victory In the district court today, when
Judge Brennan dismissed the case brought
to enjoin the commission from having the
capltol decorated by an artist. The com
mission turned down a number of local
contractors who desired to do the work
nnd entered Into a contract with Elmer E.
Garnsey of New York, an artist, who had
.dune much work on the congressional li
brary and the' Boston public library. Ths
contract called for decoration In high art,
with mosaics and the finest of decorative
effects, and was to be done for tm.SOO. The
local decorators sought to compel letting
the contract to the lowest bidder on com
petitive bids. Judge Brennan held that
the commission was not under obligation
to let the contract to the lowest bidder
and that the contract with Mr. Garnsey
was not at an exorbitant figure.
"If the work to' be done In ornamenting
this budding," said tho court, "is raarely
decorative painting and ornamental work,
although the very best of Its kind, and
which might be done by skilled artisans,
there could be no good rensin offered why
such course should not be pursued.
After a careful consideration of all the
evidence I am of the opinion that the work
In Its general scope Is artistic and clearly
distinguishable from the work of the
artisan. No 'doubt considerable of the work
might be done by highly skilled artisans,
a number of which could be procured In
our own state, but the work aa a whole
requires the directing mind and hand of
the refined artist, and the artist who values
his reputat.on would not submit to the
selecting of his assistants by competitive
bids or otherwise."
The court also went Into the merits ot
the contract made and declared that It wns
a good one and that the commission had
unquestionably carried out the Intent of
the law In making provision to have the
state capltol decorated In the beat possible
manner by the best artists in America.
Intersrbsa Northwest.
A right-of-way Is being secured for the
extension of the Des Moines Interurban
system to Woodward by way of Granger,
In this county. Farmers In Dallas county
have formed a committee and are raising
a fund with which to secure the right-of-way,
and they are also giving free right-of-way
through their land. Two farmers
near Woodward pledged themselves to give
J5O0" each for this purpose. The company
has agreed that if the right-of-way Is
secured the roud will be built early next
year and there will be a power house estab
lished at Woodward. This line Is separate

as assured, and which will ultimately be
extended on toward the Missouri river.

Entraaee to Des Moines.
Judge Brennan this morning denied the
injunction asked by A. D. Struthers to pre
vent condemnation by the Interurban com
pany of laud for an entrance way intc
Des Moines. Judge Brennan, In his deci
sion, holds that the company as long as it
remains on its right-of-way does not re
quire a franchise or authority from the
city council to operate within the city and
that It has a right to condemn Its own
right-of-way.

STUDENT FIGHJA SYMPTOM
Relations Between Aostrla and 'Italy
Are Declared to B Severely
Strained.
VIENNA, Nov. 6.-The attack on the
Italian students at Innsbruck Thursday oc
casions great solicitude here. There is no
attempt to disguise In certain official cir
cles the spprehenslon that the relations be
tween Austria and Italy, which have been
strained for some time, are now near the
breaking point. It is well known that the
antl-Austrlan feeling throughout Italy will
be greatly Increased by the unfortunate
events of Thursday, and the public feel
ing, which has long befln excited under the
propaganda of ths Dants Allghlerl society
may become Inflamed to a war pitch. There
can be no doubt that notwithstanding ths
earnest efforts of the German emperor and
of Count von Buelow to pour oil upon
troubled waters, the triple alliance is prac
tically at an end. The troubls was revived
recently by the failure to renew the com
mercial treaty between the two countries.
The Hungarian government opposed the
renewal because of the competition of
Italian wines and produce, and the Italian
and Anstro-Hungarlan governments were
forced to go under a modus Vivendi. There
wss constant complaint in the southern
provinces of Austria of 111 treatment of
Italians by the German element, and of
like 111 treatment of Austrians In Italy,
which culminated In a series of disturb
ances throughout Italy some time ago, dur
ing which tho escutcheons of the Austrian
consulates In several large cities of Italy
were disfigured. An Important conference
was held between Slgnor Tlttoni, the Italian
foreign minister, and Count Goluchowski,
the Austrlun foreign minister, at Abassla
In April. There had been an urgent de
mand by the Italian citizens of southwest
ern Austria for the establishment of a
schjol at Trent for the purpose of teaching
Italian literature, law and history.
This matter was considered with great
care at the Abassla Conference and the
Austrian representative declined to estab
lish ths school at Trent, because of his
fear that It would Increase the antl-Aus-trial
spirit In that section, but he com
promised by establishing an Italian faculty
at Innsbruck. This had ths effect of ex
citing the German-Austrian students, and
there has been constant trouble between the
two groups ever since, culminating In the
riots which have Just taken place.
In July an Important Italian nationalist
demonstration took place at Trieste and as
a result the police searched the rooms be
longing to a Turnvereln society and discov
ered a number of bombs.
The premier, Dr. von Koerber, today re
plied as follows to the dispatch of Hen
Erler, the representative of Innsbruck In
the Relchsrath, who yesterday demanded
that the premier remove the Italian faculty
and holding the government responsible for
the oonsequences In the event of Its ro-fusat-,:-r
o - . .
The deplorable events at Innsbruck can
only determine the government for the
present to direct lis efforts to the adoption
of vigorous measures for the maintenance
of public order, and this It will enforce by
all the means at its disposal. At the earns
time, however, it Is Impossible to ade
quately condemn the extravagant agitation
which has preceded the disturbances and
which has undoubtedly Invested them with
their passionate, unlawful character.
Dr. von Koerber telegraphed to the burgo
master of Innsbruck as follows:
I deeply deplore not only the victims, but
also the excesses of which your town, ordi
narily so peaceful, has become ths scene.
I consider it the first and foremost duty
of the government to restore complete tran
quility. In which I count upon the co
operation of the oommon council nnd the
good Judgment of all thoughtful Inhabi
tants. A memorable demonstration for the vic
tim of the rioting at Innsbruck, Prezsey,
the artist, who was killed by a bayonet
thrust Friday, will be held November 7 in
the lecture hall of the Vienna university.
The German students of the high school
have decided to hold a protest meeting the
same day.
The war minister announces, sfter an
exhaustive Inquiry, that It Is doubtful If
Preskey was killed by the gendarmes' bayo
nets and consequently a postmortem ex
amination of the remains has been ordered
with the view of scouring expert evidence
regarding the nature of the wounds.
A dispatch from Innsbruck published hers
says a railroad official has been severely
wounded by a bayonet thrust'.
AUSTRIA SELECTS OFFICERS
Eleven Men for Tnrklak Gendarmerie
Arc Chosen by tho Got.
eminent.
VIENNA, Nov. 5. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) The Fremdenblatt publishes ths
names of six additional Austro-H.ungarlan
oftlcers who have been selected by the
ministry of war to serve in. the, Mace
donian gendarmerie. One of hm holds
the rsnk of captain and the other five rank
as first lieutenants, but they will enter the
gendarmerie as major and captains respec
tively. Three of ths nsw officers belong to
Austro-Hungartan regular infantry regi
ments, one to the Bosnlan-Hersegovlnlan
gendarmerie snd one to the Bosnia n-Her-segovlnian
Infantry and one to ths Infantry
of the Hungarian henved. The Austro
Hungarian adjutant. Cnlonsl Count Sails
Beewis, will have at his disposal a corps
of eleven officers.
The arrival of the supplementary officers
of Austria-Hungary and of ths other great
powers, exclusive of Germany, nt their re
spective posts will, It Is to be hoped, mark
the close ot a vexatious controversy which
at one moment threatened to upset the
whole gendarmerls scheme, so painfully
pieced together In Constantinople last
spring. Ths Increase of the number of offi
cers undoubtedly represents an Austro
Hungarian success, as there Is reason to
suppose that ths lnltla(ye In proposing the
Increase was specially snd strongly taken
by ths Austro-Hungarlan military attache
In Constantinople; but the circumstance
thst the Increase Is tsklng place all round
snd simultaneously Is mainly attributable
to ths moderating Influence exercised by
England and Germany. All th powers en
gaged In tho reform will now bs able to
continue their work with ample means, and
If the results ars meager they will have no
reason to plssd Insufficiency of personnel
as an extenuating circumstance. It may
be taken for granted that the AustroHun
garlsn officers, who already enjoy a con
siderable degree of popularity In their sec
tion, will carry on their work with seal and
stridency. The officers of some other
powers Will need to bestir themselves and
look to ths laurels won elsewhere, If their
record In Macedonia U to enhance their
reputation.

on th 14th. The secret snd public con

Th rumor that overtures were mad by
Count von Buelow to Slgnor Otollttl on th;
occasion of their ,:itervlw at Hombii?,
with th object of effecting a rappr"ee
ment between th Qulrlnal and ths Vati
can, Is discredited In Italy. It Is om
what tgrttable that the name of the
abbot prlmnte of the Benedictines should
havs been Introduced In the matter. Ow
Ing to the recent death of Cardinal Ce
lesia, the Bndlctln order ,'ls no longar
represented In tho college of cardinals, aa
It always ha been hitherto. -
Apart from his own great merits, 1 It
would not be astonishing, therefore. If k
cardinal's hat were shortly bestowed upon
th abbot primate of that order, but,
should this be the rase, It will certainly
not be due to Oerman Influence, and h
would certalhly never become tno fya
sentatlv of German Interests In ths curia.
The abbot of Son Anselmo would have
good reason to resent a suggestion thst
an honor unsought In any way by himself
was due to the good offices of the German
emperor.
Denies story of Orertnr.
The Trtbuna, commenting on the state
ment that on object of the meeting be
tween 8lgnorGIollttl and Count von Buelbw
was a desire on the part of the German
emperor to make overtures to the Italian
government for a reconciliation between
ths Qulrlnal and the Vstloan on th oc
casion of the baptism of the prince Of
Piedmont, nd that those overtures were
coldly received In Italy and were probably "
now doomed to failure In view of the ap
proaching elections In thai .country, briefly
remarks that no such overtures were mads.
Whatever may be the possibility of a
reconciliation between the Vatican and tTle
Qulrlnal, It Is not conceivable that It
should take place under such auspices.
If the revival In fact of the holy Roman
empire under the leadership of a Hohen-
sollern he the dream of the German em
peror. It Is a dream which It would bo
prudent not to tell in Italy, who will not
suffer that oven the shadow of vassalago
should fall on the house of Savoy. As
for the Vatican, It would, no doubt, de
sire that any arrangement It may come to
with the Italian government should havo
the consent and guarantee of ths Cathollo
powers, but It would hardly submit Ita
differences to be arranged by the friendly
offices of Germany. t

the escape of a prisoner.
The prisoner was a notorious criminal
named Constanttnlo Maracineano, who was
sentencsd to twelve years' Imprisonment.
Nti sooner had he beard the sent rnca thii
he produced a revolver and fired thr
shots at the Judge and two assistants, on
of the latter being wounded.
Gendarme and public scurried pell melt.
from ths court and Maracineano leaped from
the dock, rushed toward the Judges ' and
again fired aa they fled from the bench,
wounding Judge Klou.
Brandishing the weapon he ran Into the'
street, and leaping Into a cab, compelled .
the driver to whip his horse Into a gal
lop under penalty of being shot. '
Two gendarmes who ran after tha car
riage were fired at by Maracineano, but es-'
caped Injury. On of them finally stopped
the horse and the other grappled With the
criminal, but received a blow on the head
from the revolver butt and fell senselea
to th ground.
Fortunately Maraclneano's supply of am-;

gendarme attacked him with his eword and
disabled him. He was conveyed back to
the court, and th Judge who was .not In-'

the use of 'handicap anthems' in wmen ona

Canon B'ackburn In a speech made at tho ,
Manchester diocesan conference this week. ;
If a man had not got a musical ear he
had really better not sing, for It was bet-
ter to make melody In the heart to the ,
Lord than to make discord to a neighbor.
The canon also reprobated the practice ot-,
openly beating tlm with the foot. If a
man must do this It was quit easy for him
to learn to beat tlm Inside th boot.
"We all know Dr. Gauntlett'g setting to

This confusion of Ideas between th nuptial

As to the words of hymns. Dr. Pyns com
