GRAND JUROR-INHALES GAS
Carelessness of George W. Jensen ;
Haiti Work of Body.
WAS ALMOST DEAD WHEN FOUND
Had Inadvertently Trfil on tine
After Turning! It Off Deaf Ath
letes to roll Off a Field
Meet.
The deliberations of the district grsn.1
Jury, which reconvened Monday came to
a sudden termination, at least for the time
being, yesterday noon, owing to the fact
that one of the members.. George V. Jen
sen Of Norwalk township had a narrow
escape from crossing the great divide by
the asphyxiation route.
Jensen did not show up at the mim
ing session of the grand"- Jury and when
at noon the cause of his absence was In
vestigated he wan found unconscious In his
room at tha Ogden hotel and the room fuil
of gss. When first discovered, It was
thought Jsnsen was beyond sJl earthly
assistance, but after two physicians, who
were hastily summoned had worked over
him for four hours he partlajy regained
consciousness.
At the hotel It was stated that Jensen
retired to his room about 11 o'clock Mon
day night When tha door was broken In
shortly after noon yesterday he w'aa lying
In bed atUred In his night clothes. The
gas Jet was found turned on. It la be
lieved that Jensen must have got up bo
fore daybreak, lit the gas and after turn
ing It off Inadvertently turned It on again,
for If the gas had been flowing from the
time he went, to bed Monday .night .he
would have been dead long before the time
he was discovered. 1
When Judge Wheeler, learned ' of the
cause of Jensen's absence from the session
of the grand Jury he at once Issued an
order adjourning the, grand Jury until next
Monday, It is doubtful If Jensen will be
able to serve at that time and another of
the twelve members of the grand Jury
selected for the year will be called upon
to take his pi ice.
Although only six members were present
yesterday morning the grand Jury heard
several . of the witnesses subpoenaed to
give evidence concerning the two alleged
road houses In the western part of the
city. ,

tES . MOINES. May 19. (Special. )
That the constitutional amendment move
ment is going to sweep the state of Iowa
like a clean broom Is the stntement of
A C. Rankin, state organiser for the tem
perance forces, who arrived In Des Moines
yesterday from five meetings In small
county sects, at which he raised over iy1.
He rays the men of the state are more
e; thuslnstlc over the constitutional amend
ment prospects than over any movement
In which he has been Interested. Money H
easily forthcoming and he snys the cam
paign will take on proportions that will
completely overwhelm the state and bring
about a decided declaration for a constitu
tional convention to amend the constitution
so as to provide orsolute prohibition.
There Is soon to be a meeting of the
board, composed of five men and women,
representing the six temperance organisa
tions of the state, at which time arrange
ments will be made for brtnglng into the
Iowa campaign "some cf the strongest tem
perance speakers In the United States. The
workers refuse at present to disclose the.
names of the campaigners, but declare
they are among the ablest men' of the
country and will create a decided stir. It
Is proposed to have a field or advance man,
who will go over the state making dates
and advertising the appearance ot these
speakers. From the way the associated
temperance organizations are receiving
funds in their constitutional amendment
movement it Is certain Iowa Is to be
plunged Into a temperance campaign which
may have considerable political signifi
cance. Reports that have gone forth that there
was dissension among the temperance so
cieties In the combination are branded as
untrue and are said to have been started
by one organisation which refused to affili
ate with the other organisations tn a united
fight for a constitutional amendment.
Just what opposition will be made to the
temperance movement and what form It
will assume has not as yet been disclosed.
Optometrists Are Here.
Four hundred optometrists are In Des

KIRY SUCCEEDS VAN CLEAVE
Dayton Man Nominated for President
of Manufacturers' Association.
MANY SUBJECTS ABE DISCUSSED
Labor and Railroad I.etrUlatlon, Free
Trade with Islands and Siilp
Babaldles Are Con
sidered. NEW TORK. May l.-John Klry. Jr.. of
Dayton. O.. was the unanimous choice to
day of the nominating committee as a
candidate for president of the Nstional
Association of Manufacturers to succeed
James W. Van Cleave.
Discussion of the labor problem wss the
feature of today's session. President Van
Cleave protested against the po"l"ty of
special legislation In favor of organised
labor, pleading for consideration of the
subject on the ground that such legislation
would constitute a menais to the coun
try's welfsre.
The coming session of congress would
seem a particularly favorable time to the
labor leaders for the urging of legislation
to legalise picketing and boycott. Mr. Van
Cleave declared: "Reverses In the middle
of a presidential term," sntd the eaker,
"usually mean that the opposing party will
eleci the next president." He continued:
"Financial confidence Is reviving and
there Is an Improvement In most of
the Important lines of trade. Un
wise labor legislation, however, could
quickly check this trsde uplift. Here Is
a direct peril from the program which the
American Federation of Labor leaders
promise to resume before congress In the
coming winter."
F. R. Boocock. secretsry of the Ameri
can Anti-Boycott stisoctatlon severely
arraigned the boycott, among other "ob
jectionable" features of organised lsbor.
and said law and reason were labor's two
best friends.
Railroad Legislation.
The committee on Interstate commerce
presented a report emphasising "the folly
of recent anli-rallrotd legislation' In many
of our states, snd especially the arbitrary
M-cent-a-mlle' acts."
The report sums up the attitude of the
committee toward the railroads In the fol
lowing Isnguage:
But while jrneklly opposed to rash al.
I tacks upun lha railways aud to sverjth.ng
else that may Interfere with their efforts
to prove faithful servants of the public,
we have always beon In favor of tabelr
regulation by the national government.
This regulation like the bridle on a spirited
horse, should be sufficient to preserve con
trol, hut should not chafe, or fret, or
hamper, or interfere with tha free play
of the muscles
bneaking of the tariff revision the com
mittee deplores national extravagance aa
the cause for the S10U,O0O.O0O deficit, and tha
consequent necessity of Increased taxation.
It suggests that duties on crude materials
and steel might ssfely have been further
reduced to the advantage of the general
manufacturing Interests. "The revenue
needed to restore the estimated IWO.OOO.OOO
deficit could have been In considerable
measure msde up from moderate duties
on tea and ooffte. of which the consume
need he hardly conscious, and by tha In
heritance tax aa recommended by the presi
dent, ' the report suggests.
Free Trad with Islands.
In an address entitled "The Open Door
Tour Opportunity," 8. I. Bcudder of (he
International Banking corporation of New
Tork urged the association to demand of
congress free trsde with the Philippines
and Porto Rico.
He was followed by Thomas E. Durbsn,
