DER MOIXKS, Nov. 12. ( Special Tele
gram.) The prospects of a street car strike
In Des Moines became almost certain this
afternoon when all negotiations, between
the company and the officers of the men's
union were broken off. The trouble erose
over the dlacharRe some time ago of Ralph
Cohoe, a motorman. who had given testi
mony In court In a damage suit brought 1V
Mlas Fannie Parker, his sweetheart, who
had been Injured In an accident. "The com
pany liiMlnted that the giving of the testi
mony violated a rule of the company and
lias refused to consider reinstatement or
arbitration. Officers of the national asso
ciation have been asked to come here to
take charge of the situation.
fnlt un Mason's Itond.
Federal officials held a consultation' to
day with a view to bringing suit on the
bond of E. It. Mason, who was for more
than thirty years clerk of the Tinted Btatcs
district court here, and who resigned Home
time ago. It Is alleged that he never made
full accounting of all feus, but that tho
bocks were so badly kept that there was
no way to effoct a settlement
Vote la Iowa Was I.lacat.
The flnul figures on the vote in Iowa
shows that it was comparatively lU'lit,
there having ben a total of 410,000 votes
cast on governor, as against over 600,009 In
the state. The nearest complete and cor
rect figures on governor give Carroll 202,
000 and Porter 182,000, or a republican ma
jority of 20.000. The prohibitionist vote was
about 10,000 and the socialist 11.000. Al
though there was a great effort made to
defeat Clifford Thomas for railroad com
missioner, it seems probable he ran
slightly ahead of the other candidates for
that office.
Resalt of Orgraalsatloa.
According to Chairman C. F. Frenke of
the republican state central committee, the
only thing that saved Iowa from being
wept Into the democratio column was an
effective republican organisation In ' every
one of the counties. "Iowa aoted as a po
litical windbreak to the whirlwind which
had gained such Impetus In the east that
It bid fair to sweep the entire nation," said
Mr. Franks today. "The storm could be
seen coming for months, and some strong
barricade had to be provided If the tide
were to be stemmed."
With that Idea In mind an organization
was built up, and when the storm hit that
windbreak so much dust was raised and
things were so generally stirred up that
the clearing of tha political atmosphere had
to be awaited before the final result could
b determined. At no time, however, did
Chairman Franks concede the election of
Claude R. Porter as governor, but main
talned that the country precincts would
more than offset the losses In the city.
ine loglo of his claims was realised the
day following election as more of the coun
try precincts were heard from.
A Great Oraanlaatlon.
Chairman Frajike said today that those
who view the outcome of the election with
a superficial Inspection fail to realise the
enormity of the organisation which brought
about another republican victory In Iowa.
The result obtained by Chairman Franke
two years, ago,' b laying special stress on
organisation, strengthened his belief In that
method of campaigning; and his foresight
and Judgment In perfecting an organisation
this year, has been amply demonstrated
by the effect It had under adverse campaign
condition.
At tho party headquarters in Des Moines
the names of mora than SO, 000 active re
publican workers are on file and they have
been thoroughly coached on organisation
work. That everything depended on the
polling of the country vote ha been rea
lised for months, and during the entire
period that the chairman ha been build
ing up the organisation, he has sought
to Impress tha Importance of thla fact upon
the minds of the workers.
Chairman Reed Bids Farewell
Chairman N. F. Reed of the democratio
state committee today Issued the following

that they will make a contest In the Fourth

G. N. Haugen 1 small and D. D. Murphy
will make a contest which will throw th

Mrs. McMahon's
Trial Begins
Tomorrow
Case of Women Who Shot Stuifii
Lawyer la Eii Office Attraoti
Wide Atteatiott.
SIOUX FALLS, . D..!Nov. li.-(Spdal.)
Th trial of Mrs. Nellie McMahon for the
murder of David P. Thoma. a prominent
attorney and former Ignited State com-
mlssloner, which will conven In Mead
county Monday, Nov. 14, will be econd in
Importance and In" Interest to the now
famous cause of Mrs. Emma Kaurmann
wife of a wealthy Sioux Falls brewer, who
a year or two ago, after two sensational
trials, was Virtually acaultted of th charge
of having caused the death of her ift-year-
old domestic. Miss Ames Polreis.
Mrs. McMahon is one of the best known
women of western South Dakota, and has
powerful friends, ' who will eok to have
her acquitted of the serious charge against
her. As the result of a dispute over the
occupancy of. an of ice. building at Bturgis
she is alleged, on the morning of July SO.
last, to have gone to the office of Attorney
Thoma and shot him down In cold blood.
Mrs. McMahon's husband, who died some
month before the traglo killing of Thomas,
had served a state' attorney of Mead
county.
As a sequel to -the traglo - death of
'Thomas, Mr. Thomas, hi widow; recently
Instituted a suit' against Mrs. McMahon
by which site sacks to recover' damages
iu the sum of 910,000 for the death of her
husband. Mrs. Thoma we left In nearly
destitute circumstances, with five small
children to support.
Tho suit a as instituted for the purpose
of compelling Mr. McMahon, who Is a
woman of considerable means, to render
ell assistance poaalbl In the caring for
and, education of the five children, who
have been left homeless and fatherless.
Mrs. McMahon, at the trial, will be de
fended by Harry P Atwater of Bturgl
and A. K. Gardner of Huron, wno are
among th leading' attorney of th state. ;
Naturally there I keen interest a to th
grounds upon which the defense will be
based. In some quarters It 1 believed th
defense will be conducted on the ground
that Mr. McMahon waa suffering from
an attack of temporary insanity and there
for was not responsible for any connection
she may have had with the tragic death
of Thomas. In other quarters It Is thought
self-defense will be urged in behalf ol the
accused woman. ,
Immediately after ber arrest on tha
charge of killing Thomas, Mrs. 'McMahon
Claimed that she 'acted in self-defense, ao
it I likely this will be the grounds upon
which her defense will be based at her
trial."
