Friends of Judje Wheeler Incensed
at Attack Made on Him.
SOME HISTORY OF THE QUESTION
Tin la Given Oat That Move Is Net
ta Stop With Gamblers ud . n
loeaa, bat Scarlet Women
Are to Be Raided.
The sensational address of Attorney Gen
eral Byers, Sunday night, at the. First
Presbyterian church. Is still the principal
subject of discussion throughout the city.
Opinions necessarily vsrj'i but those who
believe there was much of politics back
of It are many. Friends of Judge O. D.
Wheeler are particularly Indignant over
the attack made pq him by .the. attorney
genersl with reference to the Brown sa
loon esses. They say the attorney general's
criticism was entirely unwarranted by the
facts, which had evidently been misrepre
sented to Mr. Byers.
A prominent .member of the local bar
said yesterday: "While Mr.. Byers saw fit
to Impugn the action of Judge Wheeler, he
refrained from -passing any- comment or
criticism on O. If. Scott, former judge of
ihe superior court, through whose court
for . the four, years . he. prealded over it
the monthly "fines" paid by the gambling
houses passed. All Judge Scott had to do
was to refuse the acceptance of these so
called fines and close the houses at any
time he saw fit. Mr. Byers was undoubt
edly well aware of this, but he did not
criticise the former judge of that court."
Some I'OTrrltten II I story.
Shortly before Mr. Byers came to Coun
cil Bluffs to arraign the authorities for
permitting the gambling houses to keep
open Councilman Wallace visited the office
of County Attorney Hess and secured con
siderable data relative to the Brown saloon
suits and the case of the man at Carroll,
la., who had complained of losing a large
sum of money In one of the gambling
houses of this city. Since the mass meet
ing a little hitherto unpublished history of
the city council has come to light. Not so
very many months ago a secret meeting
of the committee of the whole of the city
council was ' held in the office of. the
mayor In the city hall. It was behind
closed doors and the newspaper reporters
were barred. It was supposed the meet
ing ass for the purpose of discussing the
water works question. The meeting, how
ever, It now develops, was for the pur
pose of considering a resolution ' which
Councilman Knudson had drawn up, and
which he proposed to present st the neiU
meeting of the city council. ' The resolu
tion in question cajled for the closing of
the gambling houses and required the chief
of police to ' ake action ' looking toward
this without delay. Councilman Wallace
was the first to protest against the pre
sentation of any such resolution. "Don't
do this," he said. '.'We cannot afford to
do what this resolution calls for. The
appropriations fer this year were based
upon the revenue which we expected to
derive from this source." . Mr. Wallace's
counsel prevailed and Mr. Knudson's reso
lution never came before the city council.
It .was stated yesterday that the reform
movement would not end with the closing
of the gambling bouses and the strict en
forcement of the saloon mulct law, but
that every house of 111 fame In the city
would be put out of business as soon as
the authorities could serve the necessary
notices. - It is said that if the houses of
ill fame are not closed in compliance with
the order that the inmates will be arreated
without ceremony.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DF.8 MOINES. Jan. 2.-(Speclal.)-At the
meeting of the Iowa Tax Revision asso
ciation at the Savery today It was an
nounced that forty members of the legis
lature are members of the association,
and that the constitution of the association
pledges the membcis In favor of tax re
vision. It was, determined to secure. If

meeting officers will be elected for" the

Ex-Mayor ' Pierce of Marshalltown, this
afternoon read a paper In which he de
clared Jhat all persons with property sub
ject to ' taxation are liars. He argued
against the taxation of mortgages as be
ing double tsxation. . He argued that all
corporation stock should be taxed, but Is
not taxed now because not reported. He
believed that if the tax on corporation
stock was small, say not more than t
mills, that it would always be reported.
Attorney C. H. E. Boardman of Mar
shalltown gave an address on the legal
constitutional phases of the matter In
which he held that an amendment .of1 the
Iowa constitution is not necessary to se
cure a revision of the tsxation laws. He
held that the power to levy taxes Is vested
In the legislature by the constitution and
the method Is not hampered except that
It must be Just and equitable to all and
uniform.

SHAW IS STILL IN THE RACE
Has Not Given Up Hope of Securinf
the Delegation From Iowa.
0VEBTUKES TO PROGRESSIVES
Present Sentiment of Doth Factions
In the State la for Taft, but the
Former Secretary Hopes- to
Win Orer Old Home Vote.
(from a Staff Correspondent.)
tiES MOINES, Jan. 23. (Special.) Hon.
Leslie M. Shaw Is not yet out of the presi
dential race, and is far from having given
up hopes of getting the Iowa delegation
to the national republican convention. It
may be that w,hen the national convention
meets he will not be a candidate, or at
least msy not have enough strength to be
considered, but the fact that, he was not
selected temporary chairman of the loWa
state convention recently did not end his
cbanccs as some of the, reports have stated.
At least It did not end Ills .efforts. Mr.
Shaw went back east to his work as pres
ident of the Carnegie Trust company, but
whatever the size of his presidential Joom,
he carried it with him and is caring for it
tenderly.
Mr. Shaw came to . Des Moines the first
of the year to address the alumni ofi?or
nell college of Mt. Ternon, la., and his pre
vious correspondence with President King
of that college waa of the tone that if he
decided to become a candidate for presi
dent he would come and address the
alumni. He came and addressed the
alumni. After It was learned that he was
to address the alumni, the bankers of Des
Moines Induced him to address them, too,
and his main political address waa before
that body. When Oeorge Wright, member
of the state republican central committee,
suggested the name ef Mr. Shaw for tem
porary chairman and the committee se
lected H. W. Byers, attorney general and
a friend of Cummins, It was announced
that that ended the Shaw boom.
It didn't. Mr. Shaw has been In com
munication sinoe that time with many pol
iticians in Iowa relating to the matter, and
Is making some efforts with evidences oft
gainin ground In his efforts.
Overtnres ta Cnmmlns.
It was announced from Washington some
months ago that Mr. Shaw had made ouer
tufes "to Cummins for his support. This
wss true, and Mr. 8haw also renewed
those overtures when he came to Iowa the
first of this month. He furthermore In
formed the governor and his friends that if
the Cummins people would give him their
support he was assured of the support of
the standpatters and the leading standpat
newspapers: More than this, Mr. Shsw Is
ready to make some compromises and Is
willing to espouse some of the political
principles which the progressives of Iowa
haj been advocating. If he can have their
support for president. The negotiations
along thte line are still pending, and Just
what t'ney will lead to it Is not possihle'to
say. Shaw fought the primary election
law, which waa the main campaign Issue
for the progressives for the last two or
three campaigns. He camo from Wash
ington to make a lengthy address in Dea
Moines against the law. He has since then,
however, said some things on the tariff
question thst were not far removed from
the position taken by Governor Cummins
on the tariff, which might look ss though
he had motive In the matter. Not long
since, in a letter to Editor Date Young of
the Des Moines Capital. ie took exception
to an editorial in the Capital, which said
that the nomination would never come
west. He argued that the geographical
realdence of a roan was of no considera
tion. His friends have urged that -he s
the only man the- equal of Bryan on the
political atump, and he himself while re
cently In Iowa urged that Bryan will surely
be the nominee" of the democrats and that
the republicans must have a man who can

candidate who has been named". There
waa sentiment for LaFollette and a num
ber of prominent republicans have been
heard to say that unless man of a cer
tain type was nominated they would vote
for Bryan. These ' men were republicans
of the type who vote, but do not partici
pate extensively In politics. There waa
also sentiment for Fairbanks,, Hughes,
Cannon and others. A poll taken of the
legislature a year ago showed at that time
a very great preponderance of sentiment
for Taft, and Taft has been a strong candi
date all the time. The recent action of
the progressives In speaking through Cum
mins crystallzed the sentiment of that
elenvent for Taft and the action . of the
leading standpat newspapers makes It
quite probable that Taft Is at this time,
at least, the choice of the majority of
that element.
But to say that Shaw's boom Is collapsed
Is untrue. There are well Informed poli
ticians who believe that if Shaw should
come to Iowa and make a political speech
of the right nature one that would declare
himself in "favbr of Tecently 'enacted laws
for which the progressives contend, and
at the same time one that Would not anger
the standpatters he would be , a strong
factor that would have to be reckoned
with. Mr.y Shaw has In the past spoken
his mind quite freely from the 'stump on
nearly all Important questions and being
a man of prominence In national affairs
he of course would not feel like humbling
himself to the progressives. There ure
evidences that some of the progressive,
those active in politics, might InBlst on hla
doing just that, but the rank and file would
not be insistent and a straightforward dec
laration would be accepted.
A report that Mr. Shaw' had retired
from the presidency reached the former
secretary of the treasury late tonight. He
characterized the announcement as pre
mature, saying that It. took him by sur
prise. He had unders;Qod thst his resig
nation was to be kept a secret until next
March.
The Carnegie Trust company was organ
ised January t, 1907, and on February 26
following Mr. Shaw was 'made president,
with an annual salary of $25,000. Friends
of 'Mr. 8haw said tonight that he might
become head of another financial insti
tution or possibly return west. Others
thought the political arena would attract
him. '',, ,
