LESS EVIDENCE THAN IN FIRST HEARING Sheriff AamooBce He Will Conttnne Work with VleW of BreaklnK Down Alibi of Trainer nd Doras, Judge Scott of the superior court, at the dose of the preliminary hearing yesterday morning," decided that the state had failed to produce sufficient evidence to warrant him in holding the alleged car bandits, Barney Doran and Joe Trattner, to the grand Jury on the charge of holding up two motor curs and robbing the crews on the night of Sunday, July 2, near the east end of the bridge over the Missouri, and he accordingly discharged the two suspects. No further Informations in connection with the holdup were tiled against Doran and Trattner and they were allowed to board the car for Omaha without being further molested. The .charge v against Doran of alleged perjury in connection with his sworn statement as to his age at the time he cured, a - marriage license in this city waa dismissed. The testimony for the state at the hear ing before Judge Scott was. if anything, Weaker than that before Justice Field, al- thouiih. ilulurnuiu Lrucb insisted lie was SJUil positive in his itlentiilculion of the two men as the bandits who held him up. The night of the holdup Lueu slated to the police officers that he was unable to give any description ot the bandits, and whtn asked by Attorney Organ, couuvel for the defendants, how It was that ho was no so sure of his Identification, he replied that he made that statement to. the police because he preferred giving what inform tlon he could to the sheriff and ills deputies. This statement on tne part of Motormaa Leuch created mi little surprise. Sheriff Canning slated hat he had no intention f letting the matter drop, de spite the fact that both' Judge Scott and Justice Field had refused to hold the sus pects. It is understood that the sheriff's firce will endeavor to secure evidence to ih.iprovs the alibi established by tho two men, and, if they can do this will bring the inatb before the grand Jury which wilt be T.vened in September. the settlement with Mr. Woodbury's cred itors. i fvencd in September. Wubry ueta t Slock. loruer was received last night Ad lorder was received last night from Judge Smith McPherson of tne federal court directing Receiver Robinson to turn over the stock of goods to the Woodbury company, tho money for the payment of the creditors of Mr. Woodbury having 'been placed In Mr. Kublnsou's hands yester day by VV.

(Special.) Des Moines is in the grip ot a burglar, scare. Thre were fifteen burglaries and hold-ups last night in various parts of the city and the police seem to be powerless. In fact the more the talk of burglars the more the citizens carry revolvers and policemen in citizens' clothes patrol the streets only to cauhe danger. Don Duncan, son of Judge F. H. Duncan, going home last night took the middle of the street and came nearly being killed by policeman lu plain clothes who mistook him' for a burglar, while he suspected them of being hold-up men. He was fired at several times and ran to his home. J. 8. Bulger, a Bt. Paul traveling man, was accosted on tho street and fesked If he had tho time. "You bet I have," he answered and pulled out his revolver and began shooting. One of the men escaped him anu the other threw up hie hands and was marched to the police 'station, where he Is held. Thus far but little money has been secured by the robbers. There seems to be no particular explanation of the epi demic. Undoubtedly part of It Is Just fright, but the police admit that crime is rampant In the city and that Just at pres ent they are powerless to subdue It. The people of Clarlnda, where Governor Cummins is to till a Chautauqua date August 15. want htm to change the date to the day following, and are trying to ar range with the people of Grant In Cass county, where the governor Is to speak on the ltith, to make a trade of dates. The reason given Is that the railroads have se cured a representative to speak at Clarlnda on the railroad side of the rate questlun on the lsith and the other element wants the governor to be there on the same day md represent ths people's side. At a reception to Dr. Loran D. Osborn, the new president of Des Moines college. It was announced lust night that the col lege was out of debt, every cent of in debtedness having been paid, and that there was every encouragement that the HOO.tiX) endowment would bo raised by next year, besides the money for the erection ot two new buildings. It Is proposed to have the city of Des Moines erect one of these and the state the other and the sub scriptions are rapidly coming in. There are four candidates tor the posi tion of grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, the election to which will take place at the convention In Iavennort the first of next month. They are Judge F. B. Duncan of this city. James W. Hunter of Newton, a traveling man; Rlcs II. Bell of Keokuk, a lawyer; F. L. Ferris of Slous City, a lawyer. T.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE Hot 'Weather Tends to Retard Activity in Many Lines. EFFECT UPON CROPS IS G00D Corn Regains Much Lost Ground and 1 Winter Wheat la Generally Be yond Danger Huslnesa Out look Is Bright. NEW YORK, July 21.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say: Hot weather tended to retard activity in many productive undertakings and post poned torwurd business thut could be de layed without loss, but accelerated the consumption of seasonable merchandise and advanced the crops much nearer ma turity. Confidence in the future increases with each day favorable tor harvesting and much of the winter wheat Is now be yond danger, while corn Is regaining lost ground. There is a general .imposition to provide for a large fall and winter busi ness, clothing manufacturers receiving large orders from traveling salesmen. Item estate transfers are large and building operations numerous. There is compara tively little interruption from tabor dis putes and the net result in all commercial and manufacturing branches is excep tionally satisfactory for this midsummer period. Some, improvement is noted In the demand for pig Iron, which has been the least active of the Industrial undertakings, while footwear fuctorits are less euger to Becure forward business because of another advance in hides. Textile mills are busy, but the variations In cotton have unset tled the primary markets for goods, while woolens are strengthened by the steadiness of raw . wool at the highest point in many years. Railway earnings thus far reported for July exceed last year by 7.4 per cent. Failures this week numbered 193 in the United States, against 231 last year, and 23 in Canada, compared with 2o a year ago.

NEW YORK, July 21. Bradstreet's to morrow will say: A widespread hot wove has retarded dis tributive trade and Interfered with manu facturing Industry, but has stimulated crop growth and thereby strengthened the out look for fall trade. Retail trade in summer goods has been bcnelited by the beat, as has also summer resort business. Whole sale and Jobbing trade is of good voluimi. considering the weather, and compares well with a year ago. Confidence In fall trade Is unimpaired and there Is more liberal tendency in placing fall orders. More ac tivity In pig iron has led to a stronger tone and hither prices for that product In lead ing markets. The quiet in industry is merely of a temporary character. Manu facturing Is really more active than usual at this time, and summer shutdowns are not such a feature this year as in former lerlols. Money has been remarkably ea.y f..r tills season of the year, considering the nearness of crop moving requirements. Railway earnings are favorable, those for the first half of July showing 7 per cent gain on 19o4. The Industrial situation U, in the whole, very favorable, labor being wll employed and especially scarce at the south.
