ALSO TAKES A SHOT AT D0LLTVXR Lands (inslii as Only Man Who Has F.ver Been Able to Hold Hla Own Aanlnst the Power of the Corporations. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, la.. Jan. 23. (Special Telegram.) Before an enthusiastic audi ence in Foster's opera house In this city tonight Judge S. F. Frouty ilnllveied en address that marks the opening of the campaign of Governor A. B. Cummins for the United States senate to succeel Wil liam B. Allison. Judge Prouty spoke moat earnestly and to a large extent laid down the lines on which the contest Is to he fought, In which he claimed that it is not a contest between men, but between forces and that the reactionaries . are aligned with the candidacy of Allison In the hope of defeating the progressives of Iowa. Judge Prouty spoke for two hours. He devoted the Introductory part of his ad dress to a discussion of ,the conditions of the nation and charged that the con test in the nation In which Roosevelt is aligned on one aide, with the corporations against him. is exactly the same as that In the state of Iowa, with Cummins on one side and the corporations, especlally the railroads, on the other. He devoted Koine time to reciting te history of many men of prominence who had gone Into the legislative halls of congress or the Iowa general assembly and had dared to espouse the cause of the people only to Ike dealt with by tho railroad power and either defeated for re-election ' or else made subservient. He declared that the political arena of Iowa Is strewn with the wrecks of the men against whom the force of , the railroads has been thrown and he knew of but one man who has been able to withstand It. He declared that he had, while a member of the Iowa legis lature, overheard the late Judge Hubbard, then attorney for the Northwestern, tcli J. W. Blythe, attoney for the Burlington, while sitting on a sofa In the rear of the senate chamber, that a. certain benator from western Iowa, then making a speech, was "occupying the center of the stage for the last time" and that If he ever came back "he will be so gentle that he will stand without hitching and will lick aalt out of our hands." Comnllmentaxio Tnlllver. Judge Prouty then paid hla compliments to Senator J. P. Dolllver and declared that while Dolllver has not felt tho heavy hand of this force, he has seen its warn ing finger. He said that Dolllver has "shown a little Independence" in voting for the rate bill In congress and consider able Independence In resisting the' plans of this organization to capture tho last convention by fraud." Ho said further tht Dolllver knows that this force offered to Join hands with the progressives the last time to defeat hla re-election to the senate. After 'some little further consideration of Dolllver 'jtersucially,' Jtidffe FYUtity -wald that a careful .reading of Dolliver's ad dress showed that "ho places the crown ing achievement of Senator Allison's life on six things: 1. His revision Of the internal ti venue laws. Ills fight for the gold standard. 3. His connection with the formation of a commission government for the city of Washington. 4. The resumption of specie payment f. Ills eonnectlon with. the hanking and currency legislation. 6. His connection with the recent rail road legislation. . He endeavored to minimize or answer these In detail. Going finally to tile last matter of rail road rate legislation. Judge Prouty ex pressed a desire to give all credit possible to Senator Allison and Senator Dolllver, but al:ed attention to the fact that for ten years, f-om 1887 to 1K'7, the Inter state Commerce commission exercised the power of making rates and then the su premo court declared ltliad no Biich power, and it was another ten years be fore a law was enacted to give it that power. Referring to Dolliver's appeal to the "beautiful sentiment," Prouty referred to what he termed tho "fiasco of 1900," when the legislature elected Gear, who d!ed of old age before the term to which he was elected began, and aald: "They are now appealing to this 'beautiful sen timent' to re-elect to the senate a man 80 years of age, decrepit and enfeebled by disease, not that they might show htm greater honor, hut that they might pre serve their power. This 'force' makes use of this 'beautiful sentiment' when they need It and turns it aside witli a sneer, when It does not serve their pur pose or design." He declared that Dolllver had spent. two hours at. Council Blurfs in telling what Allison had dune, but that lie might have apent three days In telling the things that he had not done. SKKS FOKAKER .

V SENATOR QUITS ACTIVE WORK Sever All Conaertlon with the Hill torn nan y and Is gnnplanted by Hla Assistant of Mnny Tears. The rumor la again prevalent that Charles F. Manderson will be relieved of the arduous duties ot Hie office of general solicitor of the Burlington road. His suc cessor probably will be James' E. Kelby at present and for years assistant to the general solicitor. An attempt was jnadc to see both Mr. Kelby and General Manderson at their offices, but It waa learned they were both out of the city. Some time ago dispatches were sent from Lincoln to several of the state papers announcing that C. O. Wheedon, attorney for the Burlington at Lincoln, was to succeed General Mander son, whom the report said was to retire because of his failing health, but It la now believed the appointment will go to J. E. Kelby. General Manderson has been a resident of Omaha since 1SG9 and has been one of the most active and influential men In the state, being actlvo in his profession and In politics. He was a member of the state constitutional convention In 1S7I. and was city attorney of Omaha from 1S77 until 1S82. In 1&S3 he was elected United States senator from Nebraska to succeed Alvln Saunders. In 18S8 he. was re-elected to the ,1'nlted States senate without opposition. and at the expiration of his second term declined to again be a candidate for the office. From Senate to Railroad. When General Manderson retired from the senate he was offered the position of general solicitor of the Burlington lines west of the Missouri river. A year ago sickness came upon General Manderson and he was compelled to spend most of his time away from his office, remaining In the east for nearly six months. James E. Kelby, the successor of Gen eral Manderson, was born November 8, 1864, and spent hs early days In earning a livelihood. After a ahort course in law he read In the offices of W. D. McHugh In Illinois and afterward came to Omaha, where lie continued to read law, and was admitted to practice In this city In April, 1891. Ho began practice by himself, but by his energetic . application to business at tracted the attention of Charles J. Green, then local attorney for the Burlington, and was taken into his offices as an as sistant In railroad matters. When the legal department of the Burlington waa reor ganized, after the death of T. M. Marquctt, General Manderson was appointed general solicitor, and he selected Mr. Kelby as his assistant, since which time Mr. Kelby has officiated In that position, being practically In chargo, of the legal department during tho absence of General Manderson.

NEW YORK, Jim. 2X-Vheii an eariy adjournment of the Thaw trial was taken today In order to enable the attorneys for the defense to prepare their long hypo thetical -question covering all evidence in the case, there seemed no longer any doubt that next week will bring the second hear ing to a close. Justice Dowllng has de cided to limit each side to Uliree expert witnesses and two of the defense's trio were heard today as to the facts of the mental and physical examinations they made of Harry , Thaw in the Tombs prlwn following hit. arrest for the killing of Stan ford White. Mr. Jerome turned the tables yesterday upon Mrs. William Thaw, by reading to the Jury the affidavits she made a year ago ! to the lunacy commission which was test- I Ing her son's condition of nilml and the I defense may show a seeming reversal h- j having the state's alienists admit that they I made affidavits a year ago In which they expressed the opinion that Harry Thaw Is suffering from incurable paranoia and had been a victim of that mental malady for many years. Drf Charles G. Wagner of Binghahilotl' N. Y., and Dr. Britton D. Kvans of Morris Plains. N. Y.. both superintendents of state institutions for the Insane were on the stand today. In detailing their conversa tions with Thaw In the Tombs, they brought out more clearly two points which werb glossed over last year. The first of these was to the effect that Thaw had told them that In 19J0 or IDirt he had been a guest of- Stanford White at a dinner party In the Madison Square- garden tower. He had left early and had been accused of breaking up tho party. Some of tho guests did not cat much. Thaw declared, and tle young woman who snt next him declared the food was bad. Thaw also told the physician of the first time he saw Evelyn Nesbit. It was in 1901 in front ot a theater. "A pure looking girl," ho de scribed her.
