Rumor Has Metcalfe
Bull Moose Nominee
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Aug. l.-(Bpeeial.)-A bomb
was exploded In the democratic camp to
day when assertions were made that
Richard U Metcalfe would be tha nominee
of the new bull moose party for governor,
Some of the fragments of the exploded
bomb are said to have hit the state house
and caused consternation around the of
fice of the governor.
Just how much the story Is worth can
not be told at this time for the reason
that Metcalfe cannot be looated, but on
of the faithful Intimated that he knows
all abouf the matter and is holding him
self shy so that he will not be called
upon to deny or affirm. It Is an open
secret that Mr. Metcalfe and. brother
Charlie of the Commoner have not been
getting along well together lately and
some go so far as to say that they are
never together any more than Is neces
sary while performing their duties In tha
office of the Commoner. '

PES MOINES, la., Aug. 16.-tPcIal
Telegram.) Chauffeurs of both private
automobiles and auto trucks in Des
Moines may be organized and taken Into
the International Brotherhood of Team
sters and Chauffeurs. Plans were laid

Is believed, result in a complete organ
isation of chauffeurs, as well as team
sters. William McArthur, International
organiser from Indianapolis, will be here
a few days. With a complete organ
isation of teamsters and chauffeurs the
union will be in a position to demand an
up-to-date wage scale and Agreement for
uniform working conditions.
The first fight, however, to be under-
taken will be in behalf of the coal haul
ers. They are expected to come forward
for an Increase In wages of 1 cents a ton.
With all the teamsters, for the first
time, organised It is planned that a strong
fight be made to give them oomplete
recognition. . .
It Is probable that a special investiga
tion will be made by the grand Jury here
Into the acousatlon that a local company
operating taftlcabs owns and manages
camps on the outskirts of the city. One
of these camps was raided and a number
of disreputable persons were arrested.

1, 1909, according to the petition. At that
time the power of the monopoly of the
defendants was absolute, It is stated, as j
they were the only manufacturers or im
porters of motion pictures in the country.
Not one of the thousands of exhibitors
throughout the United States, it 19
charged, can obtain a motion picture
manufactured by any one of the ten de
fendant manufacturers unless he has re
ceived a license from the Patents com
pany, which ; obligates him to use the j
films of the. alleged combination exclu-;
Blvely. .
An .exhibitor has to pay z a ween 10
the Patents company, it is.sald, on every
exhibiting machine owned by him, even
Including machines sold years before to
the exhibitors without any conditions be
ing attached to the sale.
How Scheme Works.
Defendants, through the Patents com
pany," the petition adds, -were enaoiea
to and did determine whether new motion
picture theaters should or should not be
opened and whether old ones should be
Closed, although defendants had no pro-
proprietary Interest in such theaters.
This power they have exercised and con
tinue to exercise arbitrarily, and unrea
sonably through the Patents company."
Bach of the ten film manufacturing
defendants has license ' agreements with
the Patents company providing films shall
not fall Into the hands of exhibitors who
use any but the defendants exhibiting or
projecting machines.
The Patents company agreed with man
ufacturers of exhibiting machines stipu
lating that every machine be sold sub
ject to the condition that it shall bc used
only for the films of the alleged com
bination. These agreements, It Is said,
fixed the seiling price of machines.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-The moving
picture anti-trust suit filed today Is re
garded'by the Department of Justice as
one of its most Important moves under
the Sherman law, as it squarely asks for
a judicial determination of the relation.
of that statute to the patent laws. Th
suit will test the right of corporation
and individuals to Join their respective
patent monopolies into one big monopoly
through combinations and agreements.
These issues, it Is declared, will be
fought out more forcibly in today's suit
than any pending anti-trust litigation.

tha horse and the rider were knocked
down, but aside from a little shaking up
no damage was done.

ARMY WORM EATS RUSSIAN
THISTLES INSJEAD OF CORN
SIOUX FALLS, "s. D., Aug. l.-(Sp-
elal.) Bugologlsts are greatly Interested
In the peculiar and unusual taste ex
hibited by a horde of army worms,
which are operating In a limited terri
tory In western Stanley county, near
Kadoka. For years one of th greatest
xegetatlon posts of the tamers there, as
well as In many other parts of the state,
have been the Russian thls'le or "tum
ble weeds," as they are commonly known.
The army worms operating near Kadoka
have developed a sudden taste for Rus
sian thistles, which during pasr years
have always been "passed up" by them.
The army worms first appeared on the
farm of 8. 8. Hughes, near Kadoka, and
ha thought his corn and other crops were
"goner." But, much to bis surprise and
delight, th army worms devoted their
entire attention to the Russian thistles,
They clean up the thistles and leave
nothing but the clear stalks standing and
do not in tha slightest degree molest the
grain and corn In th fields where they
re operating. The selection of Russian
thistles for food Is a new "stunt" of the
army worms and the matter will be re
ported to the experts of the Agricultural
department at Washington.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-R. Gh Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trad tomorrow
will say:
The industrial and trads sftuatlon fully
maintains its recent improvement and a
further advance In activity is noted in
the reports from the leading centers.
Evervtmnr noints to -a continuance ot
the present activity in iron and steel and
tbe advancing trend 01 quotations prom
ises increased profits to the producer
Consumers of Die -iron are devoting a
good deal more attention to their require
ments for the lirBt hair or next year,
but future business Is not readily accepted
nless higher prices are ottered. .Basic.
iron is strong at 314. valley, while
Bessemer rules at I14.E0 and $14.75, valley.
Crude steel Is becoming scarcer and pig
iron furnaces have practically contracted
all the output lor the tniro quarter.
Bessemer billets are firm at 823, Pitts
burgh, and open hearth at 823.50, Pitts
burgh. Demand for merchant steel bars,
plates and sheets continues to tax capac
ity,- while tinplate" and sheets are very
active and there Is prospect 01 an ad
vance in quotations.
wen-maintained activity is sun 'tne
leading feature in dry goods. Some hesi
tation was caused in the cotton gooas
division by the substantial decline in raw
cotton, but the only etfect noted was
slight softening in nrint cloths,
Drills, sheetings, duck and heavy colored
cottons show no abatement in strengtn
and some lines of fine goods have ad
vanced under the influence or scarcity
caused by reduced production incident to
laoor troubles.
A few sales were reported for China
shipment, but export trade, as a whole.
Is slow, although the movement on old
orders is good. Cotton yarns are quiet
and practically unchanged, but worsted
yarns are in good demand and firm.
Although the demand for footwear
shows further Improvement, the enhanced
prices asked by manufacturers still cause
much conservatism on tne part ot Duy-
ers. All kinds of leather continue tn good
demand, without any large transactions,
tanners still refusing to contract aneaa
in any considerable quantity at present
quotations. Trading in upper leatners is
steady. ut no special activity is snown
Business is in steady volume ana wouia
be still more active were supplies not 89
closely cleaned up.
CONDITIONS EVERYWHERE GOOD
Business Outlook of Country, as
Viewed by Bradstreet People. ,
NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Bradstreet's to
morrow will say:
Crop and industrial developments are of
a gratifying character and though a few
lines have eXDenencea sngnt recessions,
movements' In general are upward. The
cereal crop situation is even brighter
than heretofore, and threshing returns on
spring wheat are giving excellent yields,
both as regards quality and quantity.
Other grains that have been harvested
nave done equally well and roaaer crops
are larger than was anticipated a while
ago. Corn, though still backward, has
made progress, save in parts of the north
west, plenty or moisture having raiien
in the southwest, where it was needed,
but the plant will require warm weatner
and a late arrival of frost to carry it
to maturity.
Incidentally, the iron and steel trade
continues to surge forward at a more
