There has aim been some talk of Attorney Charles M. Harl, but It Is understood that Mr. Harl will not he a candidate, being too busy with his legal practice. Frlenda of Attorney H. J. Chambers are booming him and the talk la that Mr. Chambers can be considered a candidate for the mayoralty nomination. . Present Indications are that Thomas Ma loney, councilman from the Second ward and patron saint of Indian creek, is prac tically conceded to have the democratic nomination for mayor nailed down. At the same time others are being mentioned, among" the number being Lucius Wells and Andrew C. Graham, president of the Park board. Major Q. H.

Councilman Knudsen of the Fourth ward is also aald to wish to retire into private life., and consequently will not bo a candidate for renomlnatlon by the re publlcana. Thar may be, it Is said, an attempt on the part of a certain faction to InJ.-ct the water worka question Into the mu nicipal campaign this spring, but busi ness men generally feel that this should ba left to ba disposed of by the new city council.

Under the new primary law a candidate for any office but that of councilman will have to aecure a petition for nomina tion, which must be obtained by some other person than the candidate himself.

The fire department waa called at 6:30 o'clock Sunday morning to the Boyd Liquor house at 523 South Main street, the alarm being turned in by Inmates of1 the apartments above, who were aroused by the smoke ascending from the saloon be low. When the firemen reached tho place the saloon was filled with a dense smoke and it was some minutes before the lo cation of the fire waa discovered. The blase was found to ba under the stairway tearing from the saloon to the basement and was quickly extinguished. ' The oc cupants of the apartment above the saloon were greatly .frightened and left tha build ing In scanty attire. ' Chief Nicholson Is of the opinion the firs waa of incendiary origin. . H. A. Laraen, proprietor of the saloon, said he believed the place had been robbed and that the thieves had set fire to the place to cover up the robbery. The damage to the building will not ex ceed J100, Chief Nicholson said, while the damage to the saloon stock was small. If anything. At 8:30 a. m. the department was called by a still alarm to the residence of C. N. Lawson at 4'J0 Glen avonue, where a chimney burning out had alarmed the oc cupants. " At 6:10 p. m. the department waa called to tho residence of Frank Kissell at 123 Angle avenue, where fire of unknown origin which started In a corner of the kitchen did considerable damage before It was extinguished. The flames spread to the sitting room and some of the furni ture was burned and mora of It seriously damaged In the attempt to remove It from the building. There la W Insurance on the cottage, which. It la . believed, will cover the loss.' Mr. Klsrell did not have any Insurance on the furniture. Attempt to Rob Jewelry Store. What was evidently an attempt to rob the Jewelry store of H. M, Leffert, 409 West Broadway, late Saturday night was frustrated by Special Officer Charles Claar. While In the alley back of Klein's upholstering store on South Main street Officer Claar heard the ring of metal falling on the paving In the alley ad joining and back of Broadway. He has tened in the direction of the sound and as he rounded the corner toward the store was In time to see a man dart out of the n!v nrt turn down Fourth atreet. Officer Claar at once notified police headquarters and Captain Sharer nurriea to the scene. Investigation disclosed a tlmmv. of the kind used by carpenters to tear off siding, on the pavement near the rear door or the jewelry store, mums on the door showed that it had been used In an attemot to force It. The drop ping of the implement on the pavement attracted, the attention of the officer and frightened the would-be burglar, who fled aa soon as he heard the officer approach ing. A lady told us she noticed a very large advertisement In a certain "paper, statins the names of numerous pianos at ridicu lous prices. She made arrangementa to at tend this great sale early so early the salesman had not yet arrived. On Inquir ing for one make after another she found that they were all sold (?). But they had others Just as good. She got wise to the fact that It was only a method used to get next to the prospective buyer. Try the Hospe plan. It saves you money, time and worry.

NUMEROUS PLANS ARE DEVISED Conatractloa of New Primary Law with Respect to Rspeadltarea Awaited by Hawker Polltlclaas. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, la., Dec. 80. (Speclal.) The Stats Board of Agriculture la wrest ling with the problem how to advertise the agricultural resources of Iowa so as to keep the-farmers that are here and attract others. At first blush the answer la that the agricultural resources of Iowa do not need any advertising. On second thought, when It Is realised that practically every southern state and all the new states, such as Oklahoma, the Dakotas and other west ern states are using state funds to adver tise In order to attract new comers. It Is recognized that the Idea has some merit. Advertisements are flooding Iowa from a score of states, holding out tho idea that fortunes and opulence ara to bs had In agriculture in these states. The railroads are spending a great deal of money to ad vertise the cheap lands In Texas, the Da kotas, Oklahoma, Arlsona, Wyoming, Mon tana and Colorado, as well as the aouthern statea which are heralded as having an agricultural awakening. At the same time these states are, through one department or another, spending a great deal of money In the same line of advertising. The agri cultural departments are writing their year books and reports with a view to using them for sending to Inquirers and possi ble Immigrants from other states. But In Iowa not even the railroads are doing any adverting. , The laat census reports show that the rural communities' In Iowa are growing more thinly populated. So thinly populated that many public schools have been closed for lack of children. The same reports show that most of the cities and towns of Iowa have gained In population, but the total for the atate by the last state census shows a small decrease. Decrease In Population. At the time the last state census was an nounced. In 1906, many explanations were made by leading citizens for the decrease In population. There is only one explana tion that la worth considering and that can be expressed in a very few words. The rich farmers of Iowa have bought up the land adjoining them and the farms have become bigger and the farmers fewer. This reason, of course, includes the fact that when these rich farmers bought the land adjoin ing them the farmers they bought out an swered some of the glowing advertisements of other states and went elsewhere to farm on cheaper land and grow up again with a new country. Secretary Simpson of the Board of Agri culture believes the day of more Intensive farming Is near at hand. He believes the rich farmers who own half-section and lection far-rs a-e moving to town to live off the Interest and rents. They have taken their children with them and the children will remain In town and are for the moat part lost to the farm. In the courae of a few years, possibly twenty-five or fifty, these farms will all be sold and the heirs will reinvest the money In city enterprises. All of this Is believed by Secretary 81 mp on as being merely preliminary to the time when the farms of Iowa will consist of a much less number of acres. The aver age Is now about 160 acres. The day will come when It will bo nearer 40 acres. The change must be gradual of necessity, but should the state of Iowa sit idly by and watch some of Its best citizens emigrate to other statea? Couldn't the progress toward small farms and more Intensive farming be considerably hastened by a little Judic ious advertising put In the right place? and If the advertising is done how should It be done? These are the phases of the problem that are bothering the Board of Agriculture. Attractive Advertisements. The advertising literature of most of the aouthern states and Oklahoma, as well as the northwest, is replete with attractive suggestions. The southern states are adver tising that fortunes are to be made out of truck gardening. The climate, which gives a much longer growing year, ts In their favor and government reports are repub lished to show that the country Is healthful and; the climate salubrioua. Especially In the extreme jouthern part of Texaa on the gulf coaat the country ts being advertised as a second southern California, soon to become the winter garden of the world, where garden truck and fruit grow all the year round and where profits of 8300 and 8400 an acre will soon make the land worth 81,000 to 81,600 an acre aa It is today in southern California. Of course In all thla advertising there la somewhat of exaggeration, and even If It Is all true 'there Is only the bright and beautiful side of it held out to the pros pective immigrant. But the burden of the argument In all these advertisements Is that here ds an opportunity to make big profits on cheap land, while in Iowa and the better agricultural states tt is small profits on high priced land. The Idea of Secretary Simpson la that If the Intensive farming principle Is applied to Iowa farms there will be big profits made on the land here. Intensive farming will alao solve the problem of farm labor to a large extent because 'the farmer will have a farm on which he can do all the work, practically, himself. Want Marat on Primary. The attorney general's office through George Cosson, assistant attorney general, has given the opinion that voting machines cannot be used In the coming primary elec tion. The law as to voting machines pro vided that they can ba used In all elections, Including primary elections, but the attor ney general holda that the primary election law makes this Impossible. Some little in quiry waa made and It waa discovered that there Is no voting machine In existence that will register so aa to show the full ticket that any one man voted. The primary election law provides that a voter going to the polls must be given the ballot of his party. If he is republican he can vote at the primary only for republican candi dates. If a democrat he can vote only for democratic candldatea. There la no voting machine made that Is so arranged that a voter can at a primary vote only for men of one party. All the voting machines are arranged so as to be used for the general elections at which time the voter has the privilege of ' scratch ing" and can vote for members of all polit ical partlra. There la only one way in which the voting machines could be used at a primary election and that would be to have a machine fur each political party. Since thla is entirely Impractical because of the machine being so expensive voting ma chines cannot ba used at tha primary elec tion. Money Main Attraction. The theory is that the farmers of lows are selling out and going to other states because there Is held up to them the idea that they can make more money. Human baiuaa will over itua lot Lbs aliulirUty dollar. If Iowa could properly advertise the Idea that thers la much money easily i made with smsllcr farms and mors Inten sive farming. In Iowa It Is believed that many of these farmers who are now turn ing their faces towards other states would turn their faces toward more Intensive farmlna- In Iowa. Whether or not they could be thus Influenced and what kind of advertising would Influence them are tho problems that are bothering the board. The board waa looking In mm aireciion when Prof. Van Pelt of the Agricultural college at Ames was placed on the pro gram at the last Farmers' institute to ten the possible profits on an eighty-acre dairy farm. He showed that by the use of ordinary grade cows a profit beyond In terest on Investment and all other con siderations of 81,200 to 82,000 a year could bo made, and that with the use of pure blood cows a profit of 83.500 to 6.ono a year could be made, vhlch Is more money than most of the IflO-acre farms make where crops are the staple. Furthermore he did not then Include nearly all of the possi bilities of Income from such a farm. That Iowa must In time come to more Intensive farming Secretary Simpson be lieves Is esslly proven by reference to the farmers of Europe, where Intensive farm ing Is resorted to as a necessity. Jo Limit on Expenditure. It is mors than likely that before the day of tho primary election arrives Attorney General Byers will bo called upon to give an exhaustive opinion on a number of other phases of the primary election law. Among these is tho expenditure of money. It has been taken for granted by politicians that they could spend as much money on news paper advertising as they wished and many of the country newspapers have been rub bing their hands with glee at the thought of the rich harvest In advertising they were to come Into when the cam paign got fully started. One of the best versed men of the state, a . state official, stated today that his In terpretation of the law limited a candidate to a bare announcement of his candidacy In a newspaper and to only one announce ment In each newspaper, it has been sup posed that a man's friends could spend aa much money as they wished In the inter ests of their friend. This official says not. The paragraph of the primary election law which covers this matter Is para graph 31 and reads as follows: Any person who shall agree to perform anv services In the Interests of any can didate in consideration of any money or other valuable thing, or who thall accept any money or other valuable thine; for such services performed In the Interests of any candidate, or any person paying or offering to pay or giving or offering to give, money or other valuable thing for audi services, shall be punished hy a fine of not more than 8300 or hy Imprison ment In tho county Jail not exceeding ninety days. But nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit any person from making contracts In good faith for the announcement of his candidacy In the newspapers and for securing the names of voters required to file preliminary nomination papers snd the payment of any reasonable compensation for such services. Explanations Arc Varied. It Is pointed out that the paragraph is as broad as It would be possible to draw It. It does not limit the matter to the candidate at all. If a person Is prohibited from performing or agreeing to perform services for hire in the Interests of a can didate he Is prohibited alike from making any such contract with a candidate or any other person. Then can a candidate hire a stenographer to write his letters? Some of the candidates are already send ing out printed matter. Some newspaper printed thO' matter for hire, though this might be considered as making an an nouncement. Of course tho primary election law In the very nature of this paragraph pro hibits any candidate from buying up the columns of a newspaper to the exclusion of all other candidates or to the exclu sion of any other candidate. But can a candidate accompany his announcement In the columns of a newspaper with a full page advertisement containing care fully prepared arguments for the selection of this candidate? CHURCH TO AID0F DOCTORS Bishop Fallows to Try Christian Psycholocy as a Core for Dis orders of the Mind. CHICAGO. Dec. 30. Christian psychology as a cure for disorders due to the action of the mind will bo undertaken by St. Paul's Reformed Episcopal church, according to an announcement made by Bishop Samuel Fallows from the pulpit tonight. "In my opinion the church to save Itself," said Bishop Fallows, "must begin to min ister to the bodies as well as to the souls of the American people. I now announce that St. Paul's Reformed Episcopal church, at any rate, will begin the work of Christian psychology In tho near future with the assistance of some of the leading neurolo gists of Chicago." Christian psychology, as explained by Bishop Fallows, works hand In hand with the medical profession, and It Is not to be used for tho cure of organic diseases, al though persons suffering from such ail ments will be aided as far as po"lble bv suggestions, faith and persuasion. Such nervous disorders as hypochondria. Insom nia, nervous dyspepsia, melancholia. hyS' teria, neurasthenia, drug and liquor habits Irritability, worry, anger, fear and weak ness of will are to be subjected to the psychological treatment. Bishop Fallows said that he had been Impelled to take thla step by the success attending similar treatments by the Boston Emmanuel church during the last sixteen months.

THAW CASE ON NEXT WEEK All of Defendant's Family Bat One Expected to Be in Attendance. DEFENSE IS TO BE INSANITY His Wife Will Aarala Go on the stand and Tell Her Story No Appeal to Re Mad Thla Time to the Unwritten Law. NEW YORK, Dec. 30. One week from tomorrow Harry K. Thaw will be called a second time before a Jury to make hla defense to the charge of having murdered Stanford White. There have been sev eral postponements of the date of the sec ond hearing; of thla noted case, but It Is said now there will be no further delay. It Is announced that Mrs. William Thaw, mother of the defendant, is expected In tha city by next Saturday. Mrs Thaw haa been In poor health, it Is said, but believes she will be able to come on to be with her son during the openlsg hours of his sec ond fight for life and freedom. Other members of the family circle, including Mrs. George Carnegie, Harry Thaw's sis ter, and Joslah and Edward Thaw, his brothers, are also expected to reach the city during the week. The countess of Tarmouth, the defendant's sister, ,nt pres ent in England. Is not expected to attend (the second trial. ' Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, who is a dally visitor at the Tombs ever since the first Thaw Jury disagreed, save recently when she was ill for a few days, will of course be one of the first ar rivals In the court room on Monday next. Theory of Defense. There have been many rumors as to the plans of the defense for the second hearing of the case and It has been pre dicted that an entirely new line of action might be followed. It can be authorita tively stated, however, that the defense will again be the same; that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw will again relate her story to the jury and that an imposing array of expert alienists will again undertake to establish the theory that Thaw was Insane at the time he killed Stanford White in the Mad ison Square roof garden, but has so far re covered his mental balance since that time as to be no longer a menace to the commu nity and therefore Is entitled to freedom. This theory was expounded at length dur ing the first trial, but after the taking of much expert testimony and after a lunacy commission had declared Thaw sane at the present time, the plea of temporary Insanity was practically abandoned in the summing of Mr. Delmss, the California attorney. who made a direct appeal to the so-called unwritten law. In the coming trial It Is declared there will be no mention made of a higher or unwritten law, but the defense will adhere strictly to a plea of legal In sanity at the time the act was committed. There were mistakes made at tho first trial which It will be the attempt of Thaw's attorneys studiously to avoid during his second hearing. In the expert testimony, for Instance, they have been able to sep arate the wheat from the chaff and will only offer that which proved most effect ive before. And having once felt the sting of District Attorney Jerome's skillful cross examination on all phases of diseases af fecting the brain, several of Ihe Thaw ex perts will be In a much more secure posi tion than they were at the first trial when the prosecuting officer's wonderful knowl edge of medicine fairly amased and in one case completely dumbfounded a witness. Wife Will Go on Stand. Evelyn Thaw. It has been variously re ported, would and would not take the stand In defense of her husband. There Is no longer any doubt that she will do so. With out her testimony It would be difficult for the defense to predicate a plea of insanity. During the first trial the entire structure of mental derangement rested upon the story of her alleged mistreatment at the hands of Stanford White, told by her to i Thaw one night In Paris, when he had j asked her to become his wife. It was after he had heard this narrative that Thaw wrote the queer letters that were Introduced In evidence; afterward that he made his will with its provision for a fund for the punishment of persons responsible for vice; afterward he went to hla home In Pitts burg and acted so strangely that his mother was alarmed, and afterward that he shot and killed the man his wife had accused. Without Evelyn Neabtt's story as the mov ing cause tor the insanity which spent Us fury In the desth of Btanford White on the gaily-lighted, crowded summer roor garden, Harry Thaw's plea for immunity from punishment would have but little left to stand upon. Evelyn Thaw again will be the stormcenter of tha trial, and next in Importance to her story will be the tes timony of seversl alienists who testified be fore "District Attorney Jerome will, of course, be prepared to combat the testimony it the Insanity experts. His formidable hypothetical question, which wss asked be fore in omnibus style to nine sr.it e ex perts In a row and upon which they based opinions entirely opposite to those en tertained by the experts for the defenxe, will be 'taken out of the archives and polished up for use in rebuttal. The state s direct rase will again be very brief. It will have added to it the testi mony of James Clinch Smith, brother-in-law of Stanford White, who mat and talked with Thaw the night of the tragedy.

Almost unparalleled misfortunes have been heaped In the short space of one week upon Wil liam Adler, one of New Orleans' foremost bankers and a leading wholesale grocer of the south.
