INTERESTING OUTCOME FOLLOWS
Htteheoek Take Hi Car from the
Report Ib HU Pnper ontl Gets

Report la Right.
Senetar-G. M. Hitchcock and his World
Horald were mercilessly man-handled by
the Grain Dealers' National association
at the Rome hotel Tuesday afternoon,
following a placid address by Mr. Hitch
cock, In which he said that federal In
spection of the weighing of grain waa a
consummation sure to come.
At the close of his speech Senator
Kltohcoek Immediately left the conven
tion haJl, pleading a golf engagement.
Scarcely had he cleared the door when
the storm broke. A. E. Reynolds, chair
man of the committee on legislation, en
tered a vehement protest against the
World-Herald for its misrepresentations
tn reporting the president of the associa
tion In favor of government supervision
of grain.
President E. M. Wayne wielded his
'gavel vainly for order. H. 8. Grimes of
Portsmouth. O., a member of the legis
lation committee, secured the floor and
demanded angrily that the World-Herald
be required to retract Its statement in as
prominent a manner as It was made.
The convention unanimously supported
Mr. Grimes and Mr. Reynolds and when
the latter submitted a resolution stating
the position of the association on federal
Inspection If was carried without a dis
senting voloe.
. Report la Wrong.
The resolution follows:
"Inasmuch as the report has gone out
through the public press that this asso
ciation favors federal inspection of grain
and Inasmuch as said association has
heretofore stood In opposition to federal
inspection, be it,
"Resolved, That the report of the press
does not represent the sentiment of this
association and that the Grain Dealers'
National association In convention as
sembled does here and now strongly re
affirm Its opposition to federal Inspec
tion, or supervision of inspection oi grain,
believing that the progress made by this
association in the past in Its efforts to
tecure uniform rules governing the grad
ing of grain, warrants us in . believing
that the uniform adoption of its rules
will soon be accomplished.','
Bee la Right.
Charles Qulnn of the Toledo (O.) Blade,
who is managing the publication of the
minutes of the grain dealers' convention
and arranging for the publication of a
pamphlet devoted to their Interests, ex
plained on the convention floor that The
Bee's reports of the meeting were ac
curate and that no misrepresentations or
false statements bad been made by this
paper.
Reports from several committees were
scheduled for the afternoon, but after
the passage of the resolution disorder
reigned and few remained In the hall to
hear the reports. Instead the grain deal
ers gathered In small groups and "con
tinued the discussion of the association's
attitude toward government Inspection of
grains.
President Wayne announced from the
chair that the World-Herald's report of
his speech waa a misrepresentation, that
he had said nothing to Indicate he was
in favor of government inspection and
asked that the report be corrected. "I
said -If certain conditions were not met
government inspection might result." he
explained, following the explanation
with, an endorsement of the resolution
and the attitude of the convention toward
federal inspection.

whereupon a search revealed a factory
for the manufacture of explosives and a
plan for an attack on Wu Chang.

ROM B. Oct. 10,-The advance guard of
the Italian army of occupation landed
today at Tobruk, on the northeastern
coast of Tripoli, 00 miles east of the city
of Tripoli and seventy-five miles west of
the Egyptian frontier. .
Tobruk Is one of the gateways to the
best part of the Turkish provinces and
that section of Tripoli which the Italians
particularly covet, it Is said. Thus Is
begun. the occupation proper, on the ac
complishment of which depends Italy's
willingness to entcrtsln proposals.
The larger part of the Italian expe
dition Is still at sea closely guarded by
warships. Many transports . carrying
thouaands of soldiers left Italy last night
and early today and others will leave
tomorrow.
..Communication between Tripoli and the
outside world haa been restored. Asslm
Bey, Turkish minister at . Sofia, today
accepted the post of foreign affairs In
the new Turkish cabinet. At a council
ef . the ministry it was decided to close
all Italian Industrial; financial and
scholastic institutions In Turkey and to
seize Italian vessels.
i.The Turkish troops which retreated to
the Interior when Tripoli was bomhsrded
have been obliged to open negotiations
for their aurrender owing te the failure
of their supplies. .
MALTA, Oct. 10 It was reported hers
today that 40,000 Italian troops left
Agosts, Sicily, for Tripoli last night on
forty transports which wer escorted by
the Second division of the fleet under
Vice Admiral Thaon dl Revel.
Batlre Army Corps Earoate,
ROME, Via Frontier. Oct. 10. Ths
greater part of the Italian army expe
dition Is now on . the way to Tripoli.
This was learned from messages In con
ventional language, that escaped the cen
sor. "... ' . -
. A big contingent, comprising. the Isrgest
part . of the total .force, ' sailed from
Naples last night and another fleet of
transports left Taranto at sunrise 4,edayV
More troops will depart from A goat a to
night. These three groups will units east
of Malta. .
The landing. of a whore army corps In'
Tripoli Is looked opon as one of the most
difficult operations 6f the war, despite
the fact that little fear of. an attack by
the enemy Is entertained. Accordingly,
every precaution looking to the safety of
the troops has been taken. The battle
ships cover a moving area ons mile wide
and five miles long. Within this square
the transports appear secure from any
danger except the ever present one of the
elements.
Once safely arrived off the Tripoli tan
coast It is expected that with a favorable
sea the troops can bs landed In two days.
Correspondents Denounced.
Several correspondents have been de
nounced to the courts by the crown
prosecutor as guilty of betraying atate
secrets. Wherever troops are concen
trated, their spies or alleged spies are
arrested. Still absolute secrecy is impos
sible. It is known that the fleet carry'
ing troops to Tripoli Is msde up of sixty
steamers which have been transformed
into military transports.
The larger part of the men .were em
barked at Taranto and A goats, the dis
tance between these points and Tripoli
furnishing .ths shortest routs.
All lights on the transports wers ex
tinguished at night and the vessels pro
ceeded In two lines a half mils apart,
being preceded, flanked and followed by
battleships and cruisers.
Extraordinary police measures wars
taken during the. visit of the king to
Naples for his farswell to the troops.
Will Renew Negotiations.
LONDON, Oct. 1A A correspondent of
ths Chronicle at Constantinople tele
graphs that the last Turkish note to the
powers waa so conciliatory In tone that
Germany has decided, with the other
governmenta to renew Ha approaches at
Roma for an understanding. Reports
from Benghasi that two Italian cruisers
were destroyed and from Dema that two
Italian torpedo boat destroyers bad been
blown up by mines ara In oiroulation, but
have not been confirmed.
BERLIN, Oot 10. Although Germany
flnda that the time Is not ripe for an
offer of mediation to end the war be
tween Turkey and Italy, pending the
completion of the Italian occupation of
Tripoli the government is endeavoring
further to localise the hostilities and
prevent fighting In ths Red, Aegean and
Adriatic seas.
It Is learned In diplomatic circles that
Italy probably la willing to Indemnify
Turkey to the extent of about $l?,000,000.
but It Is a question whether she Is still
willing to recognise Turkish suserglnty
over Tripoli In any form.

"He earns here to. look at some prop-

bad loaned money to Mr. N. B. Judd,
the attorney for the Rock Island rail
road. Mr. Judd waa I'rasldent Lincoln's
manager In his great debate with Stephen
A. Douglas. Mr. Lincoln came from

to this place by ateamboat. He found
here some old friends who had lived In
Springfield before they came to Council
BlUffs-the Hon. W. H. M. Tuaey.
Thomas Officer and Mr. Bates.
"I bad Just returned with my party
from surveys for ths Pacific railroad
west of the Missouri river snd my party
was camped In the ravins Just north of
this place. Mr. Lincoln heard of my ex
pirations and survsys and that I was In
the city and as he was at that time
greatly interested In the building of a
Pacific road, he sought ma out and on
the porch of ths reclfic house engaged
me In conversation about what I. knew
of the country west of thai Missouri river
and greatly Impressed ma with ths great
Interest be showed In ths work in which
I was engaged.
' He stated that there waa nothing mors
Important before the uatlon. at that time
than. the building of the Paclflo road to
the Pacific coast .He Ingeniously ex
tracted a great deal of Information from
me and I found the secrets I had been
holding for my, employers tn the east hsu
been given to him. This Interview w a J
of the greatest Importance to me.
"While he was in Council Bluffs Mr.
W. H. M. Fussy and other citlxena
brought him up to this spot for the pur
pose of having him view the great Mis
souri valley, which on a clear day ran
be aean here for nearly twenty miles, ex

looking across the country to the city ot
Omaha, which had Just been started."
In when In command of the dis

was sent by President Lincoln to aid
him In determining ths initial point of
the Union Pacific. The views of ths two
coincided and on November 17, 1S6J, the.
president decreed thst the road should
