Sensational incidents marked the offering of testi mony before t lie Interstate Commerce Commission in session here today relative to the fixing of prices for grain by the lx-s Moines Cereal Club for tlie members of tlit titate Grain-dea'ers Association, and the pooling of the elevator business at many Iowa points. R.

"Wells, secre tary of the Grain-dealers' Association, and expressed by lifted bands as a basis for quotations for the ensuing week fur nished to members of tiie association by "V. G. Caso of this city. Commissioner Lane gave to members of the Cereal Club who had testified that prices were not tixed at meetings of the organization an opportunity to amend their testimony, after which Mr. Harper left the stand. I .a no I'uts Wells on Hack. Secretary "Wells took the stand and said that lie had intended to testify that lie had not made motions of this character at every meeting of the club, and was about to proceed with amendments, when Mr. Iine, cjuickly leaning over his desk toward Mr. Wells, created a sensation by asking: "Didn't you try to mislead the Commis. fcion on that point?" Mr. Wells said that he had not. "W'hy did you testify as you did?" con tinued Mr. Lane. "Did you not try to create tho Impression that there was no lixing of prices and tiiat nothing was done to tix prices at these meetings? Didn't you do that?" Mr. Wells insisted that he had not done so. "Was not that your distinct effort in answer to the questions?" asked Mr. .Lane. "No, sir," replied Mr. Wells. Tried to livade Questions. "Did you in any way try to evade answering the questions of Mr. Marble (the commission's lawyer) put to you at the time, when awkeii regarding fixing prices?" Mr. Wells started to make some answer when lie was dismissed irom the stand. Mr. Case, wtio was y.cid to furnish the price card to the member of the State Association of Grain-dealers, was called to tho stand, lie was not. certain about much of the information lie disclosed and denied any arrangement with the Cereal Club. The testimony today was to the effect that tile Grain-dealers' Ar.scciu.tion " is making a lifht against the Fi-.rmers' Ele vator company which is not a member of the association, by restricting Its terminal market when possible. C. G. Messorole, directly charged that tho Iowa Grain-dealers' Association formed a pool to control business in Ikwh and boycotted him when he refused to Join. He is secretary of the Co-operative Farmers' Association. Why ltoatl Favored Shields. J. T. Hiland. third vlc"?-pre--ident of the Chicago, Milwaukee t St. I'aul Railway Company, spent the entire forenoon on the witness stand, and testified mostly as to the relations of the Milwaukee to the Sirm-nds-Shields Grain Company, of Kansas City. The testimony brought out the fact that Shields is employed as superintend ent or manager of the elevator at Kansas City at a salary of a year, and that as agent of the coni'iany lie is taken into consultation in .-natters of rates. Mr. Hiland sought to show that Mr. Shields was not favored above other shippers, but admitted that It was the policy of the road to consult and notify by wire large shipper:? of all raw material of changes in rates, though he thought the smaller shippers got the information about as quickly through the newspapers. Mr. Hiland tcstij'w.l that the change from leasing the Kansas City elevator to the Simonls-ShleUl; Grain Company, when they allowed the company l1 cents per loo fur handling grain. to employing Shields as manager was made at tiie in stigation ot the law department of tho r.'iul. which thought they would be more nearly conforming to the law, and that now the Simomls-Shirlds Grain Company ships t vn to 'JO per cent of all grain going through the elevator. Mr. Hiland was asked to explain the withdrawal of tho export rnte on corn a year ngo and tho withdrawal of the spe cial rate on wheat in Algust. and In re sponse it was brought out each time that Shields knew of the chans-es.

FEARS ANGER OF JAPAN .""ontlnu-ptl frnm l'ane to express privately thfir views of the present ant 1-American feeling prow in g out of the wroncs whu-h the Japanese do ctor they have suffered and one member of the Cabinet s-aul today that the gen oral opinion of the Cabinet was that the situation was exetodinsly rave and would require the most delicate treat ment to prevent an open rupture. The President is doing all in h:s power to Fhow the Japanese that there is no gen eral feeling against the race, but that the trouble is entirely local, and expressed gratillcaf.on when he learned that the Japanese pivss is for the most part at temptiiiR to check the feeling against the Americans. Blame It on Labor Element. TOKIO, Oct. 26. It is definitely learned here that the anti-Japanese feeling in America is confined to the labor element, The tone of the Japanese press Is sober ing down. Thoughtful Japanese believe that if the country allowed itself to be carried away by a momentary excitement against America, this would only be play ing into the hands of those who are anxious to alienate foreign sympathies from Japan. It is generally felt that the friendship between America and Japan is too deep-rooted to be sacriiiced through local animosities. TEST CASE IX JFEDEKAJj COURT Injunction Against Exclusion of Jap anese Boy Sought. SAN" FRANCISCO, Oct. 26. Judge Wclverton, of the United States Cir cuit Court, yesterday issued an order to the Board of Education of San Francisco, citing that body to show cause why &n injunction compelling the reinstatement of I.

FINDING BODIES AMID RUINS Five More in Kansas City Crematory. Least Eight Dead. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 26. Five bodies were recovered today from the ruins of the Chamber of Commerce build ing in Kansas City, Kan., which was de stroyed by fire yesterday, and it Is now known that at least eight persons lost their lives in the tire. The body of Charles Lynch, a laborer, was recovered late today. The bodies of Edward "Winslow, his wife and two daughters were recovered early in the day. Eight persons are still missing. At the hospitals two of the injured were in a serious condition, but It was believed all the others would recover. Tho loss of life is attributed in part to the lack of fire-lighting apparatus, and a movement has been begun to induce the City Council to remedy the defect as soon as possible. Three 10 per cent per moikth money lenders who had offices in the building lost their papers, including hundreds of dollars worth of notes. The body found yesterday and supposed to be that of D. R. Young, was today positively identified as the remains of Patrick McGuire, aged 6T, a retired loco motive engineer. Young is couted among tiie missing. The building was a firetrap. It had three fire-escapes, but the flames cut oft access to them. The law requires a three inch rope in all third and four-story rooms, but there were no ropes.

The Pope today re ceived the German Foreign Secretary, Herr von Tschirsky, and Frau Tschirsky, who were accompanied by the Prussian Minister to the Vatican, Baron von Rot enham. In the papal antechamber Herr von Tscljirsky met Cardinal Agliardi, Vice-Chancellor of the Holy Roman Church, who formerly was Papal Nuncio at Munich and therefore is thoroughly conversant with German affairs. Cardinal Agliardi had a brief conference with the Foreign Secretary, after which the latter was admitted to the papal library, the Pope meeting him, his wife and Baron Rotenham at the door and bidding them to rise when they knelt to kiss his hand. .

The House also authorized the making of a contract for the Van couver service, giving $3000 to steamers making the trip in IS days, the maximum subsidy to be $100,000. IF! LEFT IN DISTRESS Crime of Wife Desertion Shows Great Increase in Chicago. FATHERS REFUSE TO WORK County Driven to Severe Measures to Escape Burden Cast Upon It. Destitute Families - in 1905 Total 939. CHICAGO. Oct. 26. (Special.) Deser tion of wives and families by husbands has become so great an evil that Presi dent Brundage of the county board has decided to take steps to stop it. He will cause the arrest ami prosecution of a number of the offenders, hoping the ex ample set will deter others from com mitting the same offense. Nearly 1000 families are county charges because husbands have abandoned their wives and children. The support of these families has taxed the county's resources for outdoor relief and proved a heavy burden for the Juvenile Court workers. A few months ago a husband deserted six children, ranging from 14 months to 13 years of age, who are now costing the county $60 a month for their support. This Is only one of hundreds of similar cases. In nearly every instance, when captured, the husband preferred to go to jail to supporting his family. The result was that the county had to support not only the family but the husband. In a few instances where the hupband prom ised to support his family and was re leased from jail on parole, he lived with his family a month or two and again abandoned it. During the year 1905, County Agent Belmont gave assistance to 939 women who had been deserted by their husbands. Of this number 891 had from one to seven children. The charity reports for 1902 show that 557 deserted wives applied to the cou ity agent for relief. These figures show tn increase, in wife desertion of nearly 70 per cent in three years and these were years of prosperity, when scarcity of work could not be given as an excuse by the husband for failure to provide for his family. According to Mr. Belmont's report it cost $15.14 for each family assisted In 1905. The 929 deserted families there fore cost Cook County that year $14,216. HEARST CRIES FRAUD. ( Continued from Pagft 1 . ) cates of nomination for each and every candidate for local office in the state. "No such ruling was ever before made by any court in this state. If the ruling be correct. Low was never elected Mayor of New York City and Coler was not elected president of the Borough of Brooklyn last year." BRYAN SPEAKS AT CANTON Pays Tribute to the Memory of Mar tyred President. CANTON, O., Oct. 26. After a whirl of half a day over a section of Northeastern Ohio, W. J. Bryan spoke here at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon for an hour to a large audience in the Auditorium. He had planned a visit to the McKinley tomb, but a belated train disarranged the sched ule, and he was forced to omit the trip. In referrnig to McKinley, Bryan said: - "In former canvasses of this state I have not had the opportunity to speak in Canton, as some other people have. This was due to the fact that my oppo nent's home was here. We always rec ognize local pride. That I was defeated in two former campaigns by a man whose sphere of private life and public charac ter were so high and so universally ad mitted will always give me a sense of comfortable pleasure." A complimentary reference was made to the work of President Roosevelt. "Why is it that the President stands out in popularity? Is it because he is the one man who has had courage enough to abandon a Republican platform and follow a Democratic platform? But don't blame the President for adopting Demo cratic ideas. He could not go in the right direction and do anything else. We have had our fight for years, and now are go ing in the same direction Democrats, Re publicans and Populists, with Democrats away in the lead." GREETED BY WORKIXGMEN Candidate Hughes Visits Corning and Makes Addresses. CORNING. N. Y., Oct. 26. Charles E. Hughes, the Republican candidate for Governor, came to Corning today, held a reception of one hour In the late after noon and tonight addressed -a large au dience. Hughes route from the station to the hotel here lay through the manufacturing district and twice Hughes was stopped by delegates of workingmen, who came out in their clothes of toll to greet him. At Bath the old soldiers from the State Soldiers' Home were gathered tn great numbers. Hughes spoke of his pleasure at meeting the veterans, and coitinued: "I have been ordered to the front In this campaign and I have responded to what 1 believe to be a call of duty. The L'nlon must ever be preserved. It is not a call to arms, but it is a call to think; it is a demand upon intelligence; it is a demand for sober consideration of pub lic questions. The issue in this cam paign is whether the good sense of the people of this state shall triumph. "It Is a shame to find an organized effort, one which some think may pos sibly be conducted successfully, to make the people of this country think that all business life is base; that all those who are in control of great enterprises are plunderers and bandits; that there is no whole-someness in American life. I tell you it Is false." Hughes said that he was appealing to the intelligence of the people and that he had mad no statements during the cam paign which were not facts. He declared he was still waiting for his opponent to answer his question as to whether or not the "Hearst corporations are good citi zens and pay their taxes." HEARST ADDRESSES CROWDS Enthusiastic Reception Given at Al bany and Adjoining Tow ns. ALBANY, N. Y.. Oct. 26. Nowhere in his several up-state campaign trips has W. R. Hearst. Democratic and Indepen dence League candidate for Governor, had a more enthusiastic welcome than he re ceived here tonight. His evening began with an old-fashioned torchlight parade, with plenty of red-fire and bombs. Through crowded streets, the line led to Harmanus Bleeker Hall, which was crowded to its limit, with a big overflow outside. From here Hearst and his party were taken in & special trolley car - to Troy MI HUES where another demonstrative gathering awaited him. The Lyceum Theater, where the Troy meeting was held, was packed and the street outside held an other dense crowd. After the Troy meet ing Hearst went to Cohoes, returning thence to Albany. Hearst's speeches at Albany, Troy and Cohoes tonight were substantially alike and for the most part were new. Speak ing of the large number of meetings he had addressed in New York during the past four days and the enthusiasm dis played, he declared there never had been any like them in New York. "I feel confident." said Hearst, "that two-thirds of the people of Greater New York are in favor of this movement to wrest the control of government from the trusts and the great public service corporations which now control it In their own interests, and restore it to the hands of the people, to be conducted for the greatest good of the greatest number. "We do not know what particular out rage, what final blow to popular institu tions, to American liberties, may be dealt at this election, but we do know that every trust-owned officer in every branch of the Government will do his best to de feat the will of the people and to continue the trusts that suckle him in power. "I think the election in New York City last year was won by not less than 30.000. i think the election in Greater New York 'his year will be won by from 150,000 to 5o.OOO. if the people are not by some treachery deprived of their rights as citi zens. I believe that that majority will be somewhere about the majority of the whole state, as I do not think the Re publican party will be able to bear its load of popular condemnation and stagger to the Harlem River with any majority at all." Bryan's Bait to Catch Republicans. ORRVILLE, O., Oct. 26. W. J. Bryan was greeted here by a large number of people. He spoke for 15 minutes. He congratulated the independent Republi cans for electing Pattion to the Govern orship of Ohio and advised them to help elect a Democratic Congress to uphold President Roosevelt and his policy. He then discussed the tariff and other leading questions. BROKE EIGHT-HOUR LAW Government Contracting Company Found Guilty on Three Counts. CINCINNATI, O., Oct. 26. (Special.) Guilty on three counts, not guilty on the fourth, was the verdict returned by a jury in the United States Court in the case of the Sheridan Kirk Con tract Company, indicted for violating the eight-hour law. The company is building the Ohio River dam below the city. This is a Government job, and it is claimed by labor leaders that the company worked men longer than the eight hours prescribed. The com pany can be find as high as $1000 on each count. The case is a test one, the first since Roosevelt ave orders for the enforce ment of the eight-hotrr-day law. The prosecution was started by the Uniteu States Department of Commerce and Labor, which sent special agents to gather testimony. The result affects all Government work. Organized labor considers tLe verdict a great victory. Freight Clerks Win Strike. NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 26. The strike of the Texas & Pacific local freight clerks, which was caused by the strik ers discovering that they were han dling Southern Pacific freight, .was set tled this afternoon. The men agreed to return to work in the morning, and say they are victorious. The men con sent to a few minor changes, and the company acceded to their demands. KING'S MONEY IN THE DEAL King Edward Supposed to Be Inter ested in Chicago Consolidation. CHICAGO, Oct. 26. The transfer of the properties of the Chicago-Edison and Automatic Telephone coir A nl?s for $2S, 000.000 and $4,600,0e0 to the Chicago Subway Company is practically assured. The announcement was made today by John J. Mitchell, who has just returned from New York, after a conference with capi talists depended on to finance the trans action. This opens a vista of hope to independent telephone companies clamor ing for admission to Chicago. Peculiar interest is lent from the im pression King Edward VII is interested, growing out of the mention of the name of Sir Ernest Cassel, His Majesty's finan cial adviser, in concert with those of E. H. Harriman, J. Ogden Armour, Jacob SchifE. James Stillman and P. A. Valen tine among the backers of the enterprise. Ultimate consolidation of the local gas, electric lighting, subway and power prop erties is in prospect. BOAT BURNING IN STORM Florida Fishermen Rescued From Perilous Plight at Sea. NEW YORK, Oct. 26. A thrilling story of the rescue of half a dozen men in the recent Btorm off the Florida Keys and the subsequent suicide of a captain was re lated by Captain Rudolph Rubetti, of the Standard Oil Company's steamer Captain A. M. Lucas, which arrived here today after the most tempestuous voyage of her career. The rescued men were fishermen whose houseboat had been swept out to sea by the gale. Their plight attracted the at tention of a watchman on the Lucas dur ing the height of the Btorm by a signal fire which they were burning on the top of their houseboat. Before assistance could be sent the signal fire had spread to the houseboat. The steamer was run alongside and the men were rescued. Idaho Federation of Women's Cluhs. BOISE. Idaho, Oct. 26.

RICH MINES THEIR PRIZES Slonday Will See Stampede of Thou sands in Nevada Sooners , Cross Boundary, but Are Ejected. Fear of Bloodshed. YERINGTON", Nev., Oct. 26 via Schurz. Nev. Tremendous excitement prevails at this point on the northwestern side of Walker Lake, where between 30CO and 4000 eager men have gathered preparatory to rushing on Walker Indian reservation, a large portion of which will be thrown open at noon on Monday next. Camps have been established at all advantageous points in this vicinity, and the prospect ive claimants for . mine locations are ready to rush to spots where the richest mineral land is supposed to be. Several large copper mines are in suc cessful operation near Yerington, a few miles outside the reservation boundary, and local traditions credit the territory inside the reservation with being still richer. It is feared by some that blood shed may result over disputes that are almost certain to occur over specially favored locations. Early this morning five prospectors made a bold dash into the reservation, but they had gone but a few miles before they were overtaken and summarily eject ed. They were informed that they would not be allowed to locate on the reserva tion and were ordered to leave the coun try under threat of arrest. Other pros pectors who today had taken places too near the line were ordered to keep at a proper distance. Time for Study and Sleep. American Magazine. Mothers know that the new-born infant must sleep about 22 hours, and that this amount is so slowly lessened that the child still demands 12 hours when it is about 12 years old. It is quite likely that the normal amount is not reduced to ten hours until 18 years of age or per haps until 21 years. Nine hours may bo required until well along in yef.rs. To let boys of 14 sit up until 10 o'clock and then rout them out at 6 is nothing short of criminal, but it is a long-established cus tom. Lower animals can be quickly killed by depriving them of sleep the boy is not killed, but perhaps he is so exhausted that he loses resistance to disease. Med ical students not infrequently make the same mistake, forgetting that a tired brain never absorbs anything. The mid night oil frequently represents wasted time and money and the student sleeps during the next day's lectures, when he should be wide awake. A good test of exhaustion is the tendency to sleep dur ing a dry lecture and this is no joke. All in the Cork IIne. Exchange. A well-known museum in England con tains a cork model of the Coloseum in Rome. The keeper was showing a party of American visitors over the museum and mentioned that this was "made in cork." "That is curious," said one of the ladies. "We are just going to visit some friends there." "I mean, madam," he ex plained, "that this model was made out of cork." "That is ptill more curious." she replied. "Our friends live just a little way out of Cork. SCALY ECZEMA ALL OVER BOO! Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and Face and Neck Were All Broken Out Scales and Crusts Formed Iowa Lady Has Great Faith in Cuticura Remedies for Skin' Diseases. ANOTHER WONDERFUL CURE BY CUTICURA "I had an eruption appear on ray chest and body and extend upwards and downwards, so that my neck and face were all broken out; also my arms and the lower limbs as far as the knees. I at first thought it was prickly heat. But soon scales or crusts formed where the breaking out was.. Instead of going to a physician, I purchased a complete treatment of the Cuticura Remedies, in which I had great faith, and all was satisfactory. A year or two later the eruption appeared again, only a little lower; but before it had time to spread I procured another supply of the Cuti cura Remedies, and continued their use until the cure was complete. It is now five years since the last attack, and have not seen any signs of a return. I have taken about three bottles of the Cuticura Resolvent, and do not know how much of the Soap or Ointment, as I always keep them with me; probably one half dozen of each. " I decided to give the Cuticura Rem edies a trial after I had seen the results of their treatment of eczema on an infant belonging to one of our neigh bors. The parent took the child to the nearest physician, but his treatment did no good. So they procured the Cuticura Remedies and cured her with them. When they began using Cuticura Rem edies her face was terribly disfigured with sores, but she was entirely cured, for I saw the same child at the age of five years, and her mother told me the eczema had never broken out since. I have more faith in Cuticura Remedies for skin diseases than anything I know of. I am, respectfully yours, Emma E. Wilson, Liscomb, Iowa, Oct. 1, 1905."
