ICQT CENTERS ON GOVERNOR
Iowa Republican Factions Line Up on
Clear Issue.
GAEST ENDORSES SENATORS
(mrlf it (arroll, Wka Is on

Onboard to Coarse of Cna
mfns aad Dnlllrer.
DES MOINES, April 24-(Speclal.)-It Is
now certain that the Iowa campaign will
center upon the fight for governor. Two
years ago the only thing considered was
the senatorial nomlntton as between Alli
son and Cummins and all organization was
with a view to this question. Now the
contest. Insofar as It relates to national
affairs, refers to an endorsement or sup
port of the two Iowa senators. Roth fac
tion are agreed as to the propriety of an
endorsement of the national and state plat
forms and -administrations, hut there Is
wide divergence aa to whether or not the
attitude of the senators on the railroad
rate bill, 'the potal savings bank bill and
similar measures should be approved or
condemned. But In order to have this issue
squarely before the people the fight is
being made on governor.
Governor Garst Is making the rate on a
platform of approval of the course of the
two low senators and the delation and
generally In support of the party platform
and pledges, fiovernor Carroll Is non
eommltal. but h'sVampalgn Is In the hands
of those who woulJ oppose any commenda
tion of the Iowa senators. Ho, while the
Aigbt is on governor, the Issues are na
tional In character.
- irniF m wo v niiuin.ira.
It now appears certain that there will
be only two candidates for governor In the
race. Two years ago there were three.
In addition to Carroll and Garst, the candi
dacy of John J. Hamilton complicated mat
ters. He was a temperance progressive
and drew his Tote of 30.000 almost entirely
from the progressive side of the house.
Now the temperance people are divided.
Those who are favorable to a constitutional
amendment and are very close to Governoi
Carroll are with Him. They point out that
he . has long been one of the staunchest
temperance men,', '"His church recently
pledged all Its members to support only
those' who favor a constitutional amend
ment, which la to be one of the big things
i- . l. - , ial,lBai.ii.a Tint th l.mnpranc"
p,o7. who .re stro-ngTr for progressive
principles than for radical action on prohi
bition are supporting Garst. Hamilton
himself ' Is supporting Garst, as also are
many of. the leaders In the temperance
cause. They do so, however, admitting
that Garst Is against them, but are for him
on other grounds.
( Headquarters Are Open.
Campaign headquarters are now open
for both factions. The progressives have
one headquarters from which all work is
done. They have little money and are con
fining thelr work to sending out letters
urging their friends to be alert. They have
no literature for distribution and will do
no organisation work beyond that' which
Is done by volunteers. The other faction
hae two headquarters one under the name
of the ,-Taft Republican. club," which will
do the organising and distribution of litera
ture In behalf of Carroll and other candi
dates, and the other headquarters working
for Carroll directly. The two, however,
are working; as on body. The candidates
for corjgress.Jn this distrjet are doing more
work In political wky than are the state
committees.
The Alphabetical Advantage.
An element of great importance In the
pel ring political campaign In Iowa Is the
practical elimination of the alphabetical
advantage In places on the ballots. When
tho Iowa primary law was enacted It was
arranged that the candidates' names should
appear on the ballots by alphabetical order.
Two years ago. practically every candidate
for state office and for presidential elector
whose name was first on the ballot was
nominated. In the ense of the three candi
dates for governor It was estimated that
this was worth from 25.000 to 25.0C4) for the
successful candidate, or Jut about as much
as his majority. Now there Is rotation of
names In different counties, so that there
Is an even chance. In county off.'c?s this
rotation will also be of vast benefit to
some of the candidates
I. net Days for Filing-.
Under the Iowa primary law candidates
for state office must file their petition
and . declarations by Wednesday of this
week with the secretary of state. Hence
a large number of filings have b"en made
the Inst week for slate offices and for
members of the legislature. Practically all
the candidates are now announced and nre
si work. The democrats will have candi
dates for every state position and also fori
nearly all the conRr?ssloral positions.
(There will be a number of counties In
which the democrats will not have cindl
dstes for the legislature.

possible to tell tonight whether they have
been killed. Temporary camps have been
established on the outskirts of the burning
city, and the thousands of homeless and
Injured are being cared for as well as pos

Taft Sets Foot on
Pandora Box Play
Puts Self ' on Record as Opposing
Reopening of Indian Citizen
ship Rolls.
WASHINGTON, April 24. -Characterizing
the reopening of Indian citizenship rolls
as another "Pandora box" performance,
President Taft has written a letter to C.
F. Adams of this city, the reprtsentatlve
of the Delaware Indians, placing himself
squarely on record against any such pro
ceeding. , ,
The house committee on Indian affairs
has been for some weeks considering the
reopening of the rolls of the five civilized
tribes In Oklahoma.
Letters Indicating alarm were sent here
by l'adtng Indians, and on their request
Representative Creager and Mr. Adams
called on the president, who assured them
of his own personal Interest In the In
dians. A proposal to remove the Geroniomo band
of Apache Indians from Fort S111A Okl.,
n here they are now held as prisoners of
war by the government, to some Indian
reseivatlon in either Arizona or New Mex
ico was embodied In a Joint resolution

The resolution would allow each member
of the band ten acres to be selected from
the public lands of the United States.
Fifty thousand dollars is appropriated un
der the terms of the resolution to accom
plleh Its object.

WASHINGTON, April 14 -The projects
under way as the result of the eight years
during which the reclamation act has been
in operation represent an Investment of
upwards of $00,000,000 and the total ulti
mate cost or the reclamation work, In ths
next fifty or one hundred years will be
greater than that of the Panama canal, ac
cording to F. B. Newell, head of the
reclamation service.
Mr. Newell teti lfd brfore the house com
mittee on irrigation today. He contended
that the benefits under-the Irrigation works
would exceed the benefits from the Panama

FIRE DAMAGES ELKS' HOME
Flames and Water Cause Loss of
Several Thousands.
HIGH WIND CAUSES WORRY
Gale Tans Rlase aad Apprehension
la Intense Crossed Wires Start
Troable Insurance Mill
Cover Loss.
The crossing of high snd low voltage
electric wires caused by the heavy wind,
which at the time was blowing a veritable
gale, was responsible for a fire in the
handsome club house of Council Bluff
lodge of Elks on First avenue, adjoining
the Grand hotel, Saturday afternoon.
The damage, the exact extent of which
cannot be determined for some time, prln
clpslly caused by wster, Is estimated at
from $5,000 to $7,600.
The crossing of the electric wires per
mitted the high voltage to enter the build
ing over the low voltage wire, with the
result that the strong current burned a
hole In a gas pipe In the small room or
closet back of the organ loft containing
the lodge paraphernalia. The gas became
Ignited and the flr.mes burned their way
through the wall separating the lodge
room from the reception room on the sec
ond floor to the attic.
Owing to the density of the smoke the
firemen experienced considerable diffi
culty at first In locating the seat of the
blaze. The blaze, however, was confined
to the attic and the principal damage to
the Interior of the building was from the
water which poured In torrents down
through the celling Into the handsome
reception room on the first floor and Into
the large hallway.
The costly furniture and furnishings In
the main reception room were carried at
the outset of the fire into the rear rooms
ready to be removed Into the yard If
found necessary and they suffered but
little damage.
The furniture in the lodge room was
only slightly damaged by the smoke and
the entire damage to the building and fur
nishings Is amply covered by insurance.
COTered by Insurance.
Henry H. H. Van Brunt, member of the
board of trustees, who has charge of the
Insurance carried by the lodge, said that
although unable to state the exact amount
of Insurance, an the policies were locked
up In the safe In his office, which was
set with a time lock and could not be
opened before Monday, he thought It was
$6,000 on the furniture and from $12,000
to $15,000 on the building.
The fire was discovered shortly before
4 o'clock, st which time the club house
was well filled with members, who were
wholly unaware of the danger which
threatened the building. E. H. Haworth,
one of the members who happened to
pass on First avenue, noticed smoke roll
ing out from under the eaves on the east
side of the building. He at once gave the
alarm and the fire department was soon
on the scene. Some delay was caused In
raisins the extension ladder owing to the
heavy wind, which was blowing a gale
from the north, but once the firemen suc
ceeded in turning the hose into the attic
the blaze was quickly got under control.
The flie attracted an Immense crowd
and It was but a few minutes af ter ' the
alarm was sounded before ' rnembers of
the lodge hastened from all points to do
what they could In saving the furniture
and effects. With many willing hands it
took but a short time to get the hand-
some furniture to a place of safety be-
fore the water commenced to pour down
through the ceilings.
An hour atter the fire Secretary George
Wise had a force of men at work taking
up carpets, mopping up the floors and
covering up the furniture. The card
rooms, rending rooms and billiard room
were not damaged. Secretary Wise's office
was but slightly damaged'.
Whether the building will be closed
during repairs will be determined at a
meeting of the officers and board of trus
tees to be held Monday.
Three Other Alarms.
The men of No. 1 Fire compary spent
three hours Saturday morning extinguish
ing a mass of rubbish in a vacant lot at
Eighth street and Twelfth avenue, which
Is believed to have been set on fire by
boys. Tho lot Is used as a dumping ground
by the city and residents In the vicinity
were afraid the high wind would blow the
burning rubbish onto their houses.
Sparks from a chimney or a passing lo
comotive set fire to the roof of the K. C.
hotel on South Main street atrout noon
yesterday and gave the fire department a
run. The damage was confined to a few
shingles.
At 11:30 o'clock Friday night the depart
ment was called to the Pioneer Implement
company building on Main street and
Tenth avenue where a chimney was found
to be burning out. There was no damage.

HETTY (iREEN SHIFTS BURDEN
Mrs. Sylvia Wilkes to Try Money
Making Game for Time.
WORLD'S RICHEST WOMAN TALKS
rieaaed with
Who Will
After
Aptitude of naoiihter.
Re Trained to Look
Her K,tenlv
Business.
NEW YORK, April :4.-tSpeolal Tele
gram.) Mrs. Hetty Green, the world's rich
est woman and the mimt picturesque figure
In American financial circles hsa begun to
shift her burdens upon the shoulders of her
daughter Mrs. Sylvia Wilkes.
Mrs. Green let not going to retire alto
gether from the arena of business; she
could not possibly do that even though she
Is 73 years of age and her health has begun
to fall, but she Is going to transfer a large
burden of her business responsibilities. She
said so today and at the same time preached
an eloquent sermon to the American
woman, praising her native shrewdness,
but criticising her frankness.
Men Spend Too Freely. ,
Mrs. Green thinks the men are ns ex
travagant as the women; many men, she
believes, are more extravagant than women.
The rich people of today live amidst too
much adornment and think too much of
their peronal pleasures and luxuries. She
says It is Just ns easy to make money now
as it ever was; that the women now have a
far better opportunity to acquire Wealth
than they had twenty years ago.
While Mrs. Green did not say so, it Is
believed that she will practically give the
entire management of her $."i0.000,000 fortune
to her daughter. She had hopes that her
son, Edward H. R. Green, might prove a
master of finance, but the moncy-mnklng
trait seemed to skip the son and settle In
the daughter.
Wearing her proverbial black dress and
bonnet with her white hair combed tightly
back over her head, Mrs. Green sat at her
desk in the National bank today, looking
somewhat palo and wan, although her keen
eyes were Just as shrewdly alert ns ever.
"You couldn't expect me to make public
my plans," 5.ld she, "as It has never been
my custom. But It Is true that my health
has not been good for months and my
physicians have convinced me that I must
not continue personally conducting the de
tails of my business after this." Here she
smiled quaintly and sold:
Don't Dispute evrapnpers.
"You know my financial affairs are ta her
large. I believe the newspapers have said
so and they call me the richest woman In
the world. I don't like to dispute the news
papers, so I shall allow them to continue
publishing their stories about me.
"I have been handling business for a
great many years. It has become a part of
my life; I get my recreation from It. Where
another woman might get enjoyment from
a trip to Europe, I get pleasure from busi
ness. Not that I need more money, but
Just because I have an Inherited liking
for it.
"I have been pleased at the aptitude
which my daughter, Sylvia, shows for
buhlne-ss. I have tried quietly to train
her In business and instill a liking of It
in her nature, for some day she will have
a very big estate to handld."
This seemed to give the woman financier
a new thought, for she continued:
"The possibilities of the women of to
day In business are without limit. ' Condi
tions have" changed . In .the, last score of
years, so that a woman stands an equal
chance with her husband or brother In
the amassing of a fortune. Many women
have grasped their opportunities and some
time they will be keen competitors in the
race for wealth.
Xew Race of Women.
"Why, from my own experience, some
of the brightest bargainers I have met
have been women. A woman In business
can still retain all the womanly graces
that mm admire.
"Some women are spoiled by indulgence,

"People talk of the extravagance of
women causing the high cost of living.
'Please allow me to say that many men
are more extravagant than women. I can
not see why ptrsons of wealth cannot live
lives of comfort In a healthy environment
Instead of allowing their moneybags to
got the best of them.
Many rich nun and women reside amidst
too much adornment in the fashionable
hotels nnd apartments and their lives are
artificial and unhealthy. That naturally
breeds discontent anions the poorer peo
ple, too. '
"Of course, every person is entitled to
live the way he or she enjoys most, if
within their means. But It seems, that
they forget the simplicity of the old-fashioned
home and (ie farm when wealth
comes. That Is one of Its bad agencies."

FARMER BURNS HIS MONEY
la Then Prosecuted and Fonnd Guilty
of "Prodigality" and Is
Sentenced.
GENEVA. April 24. (Special IDspatch to
The Bee.) A dispute arose between a well-to-do
farmer of Ftibourg and his wife over
a trivial matter, and the husband, losing
his temper, threw a roll of twenty-one
bank notes of the value of $430 Into the
fire.
Soon after the farmer received a notice
to appear before a civil court, by which ho
was found guilty of "prodigality," and
sentenced to the deprivation of his civic
rights.
The farmer, in defense, stated that he
had earned the money and claimed the
right to dispose of it as he pleased.

Cost, of Living
To "Be Watched
By Upper House
High Prices Will Be Further Investi
gated Although Appropriation
May Be Lacking.
WASHINGTON. April 2t. Republican
members of the senate committee Investi
gating high prices of necessities have de
cided to abandon efforts to have the senate
vote $t'VO0O to carry on the Inquiry.
The decision will be communicated to the
senate by Chairman Lodge, probably on
Monday, and at the same time he Is ex
pected to assert that "nothing but a demo
cratic filibuster could have prevented the
passage of Ihe resolution."
The committee, or at least Its republican
members. Senators Lodge, Galllnger, Snioot
and MeCumber. intend to go on with the
work, notwithstanding the failure of the
resolution. They say they have contended
from the outset they had authority under
the resolution, ny which the committee
was created, to carry on the Investigation,
and asked the senate's approval because
the cost of the Inquiry was likely to be
more than was anticipated.
Senator Lodge was particularly exultant
over the situation. He said the republicans
gave the democrats an opportunity to
ensure a nonpartisan Investigation by civil
service employes In the Department of
Commerce and Labor, but they refused It.
"Now," he said, "the committee must
see that the work Is done In accordance
to the original resolution. It looks to me
as if the democrats unwittingly wbikihi
into a trap, for surely the country must
acquit the committee of partisan intent,
whatever the result Is now."

DRINK
CURED.
The NEAL internal treatment cures
the periodical, occasional or moderate
drinker, the habitual and excessive
drinker and the nervous man who has
to drink to keep from becoming more
nervous. It takes away all inclination
to drink, all de6lre and craving for
drink by neutralizing the poison of
alcohol in the system and ridding the
blood of the poison by a rapid process
of elimination, leaving the drinker In
the same normal condition he 'was in
before tasting liquor, so far as the ef
fect of alcohol may be concerned all
appetite for drink gone and he a new
man.
No Hypodermic Injection
The NEAL internal treatment effects
a perfect cure in three dayB without
hypodermic injections.
A Guarantaad Contract
A guaranteed bond and contract is
given each patient agreeing to effect, a
perfect cure, or refund the money at

Gas Service
Another Phase
Buying industrial gas appliances is a little dif
ferent from walking into our office and selecting a
gas range.
The industrial gas appliances now in use in
Omaha, if taken as separate types would catalogue
up into the hundreds.
This is because in the majority of cases, each ap
pliance in use has been especially designed and made
for its particular purpose.
To accomplish this we employ expert mechanics
who form a most useful and important part of "GAS
SERVICE."

Off for Present
Joint Expedition of Arctio Club and

Lack of Funds.
WASHINGTON, April 24 -The expedition,
planned Jointly by the Peary Arctio club
of New York nnil the National Geographic
society for the discovery of the South
Pole has been abandoned, for this year at
least. Tho Arctic, cluh has given up the
Uli nnd the society has notified Com
mander Peary that It will be unable to
undertake It this year.
Lack of money Is the principal cause. It
was estimated that $o0,000 would be required
to secure the equipments Such as Com
mander Peary utilized' on his trip to the
North Pole. But to date only about $2.",000
had been raised and no more wss In
prospect.
If none of the foreign South polar expedi
tions roach their goal this year, It Is not Im
probable that the Peary Aretie club and
the Geographic Stclety will attempt to carry
out trWlr plan next year.
Various reasons are given for the failure
to r.ilse funds. None is official, but that
