'Fhone 97, ISUIT GROWS OUT OF STRIKE Ex-Bheriff Hazen Proparing Oase Against Rook Island in Behalf of His Sen. | TAKEN TO CHICAGO TO REPLACE STRIKERS When He Refused to Work in Place of Freight Handlers Company Re- tuses tion Back Home, Him Transpor John T. Hazen of Avoca, former sheriff of Pottawattamie county, is having the papers drawn for a damage sult against the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Rail- foad company. This sult arises from the recent strike of the freight handlers in Chicago. A son of Mr. Hazen, who fs & student at Drake university, secured work for the summer vacation with the concrete bridge gang on the Rock Ieland near Avoca. When the strike began In Chicago the Rock Is- land as well as other rallroads affected sent out requisitions for men in their em- ployment at Alfferent points to bandle thelr freight in Chicago. The boss of the gang with which young Hazen was work- ing was instructed to send into Chicago as many men as he could possibly spare. Young Hafen and five others were sent into Chicago, but when they reached there and learned that they' Were to take the place of the striking freight handlers they refused to work, stating that they were not_scabs. The rafiroad, it Is alleged, when the men declined to go to work refused to furnish them transportation back to Towa and Hazen and his six companions were practically stranded In the Windy City. Hazen bad a small sum of money with him, which he advanced to his five companions as a “grub stake” and they succeeded in beating thelr way back home. Young Hazen wrote to the boss of his gang at Avoca, asking him to send him a pass, but the bridge boss, al- though willing, was powerless to do so, as the company refused to issue it when it learned who it was for, When young Hazen's resources were ex- hausted he decided to make his way home best he could and succeeded In doing so after belng put off several trains on which he attempted to beat his way. It is alleged that Hazen and the other men with him were induced to go to Chi- gaco on misrepresentations. They allege that when the bridge gang boss was in- structed to send them into Chicago they were told they were wanted there om ac- count of several washouts on the line and no intimation given that they were to take [ the place of striking frelght handlers. Mr. | Hazen wili base his suit for damages on behalf of his son, who is a minor, on those grounds, and was sent to Chicago without father's) permission being first obtained. Mr. Hazen has placed the suit in the hands-of his attorney, who s now prepar- | ing the papers, but the amount which will |be sued for has not been stated. The action, it 1s expected, will be filed in the Pottawattamie district cotrt at Avoca. G-~vel roofing, A. H. itead, 641 Broadway.

John Cash, an ofler in the employ of the Unlon Pacific rallroad, living at 3427 Fourth avenue, was struck by Rock Island pass- enger traln No. 42 shortly before 7 o'clock yesterday morning and received injuries from which he died an hour later at the Woman's Christihn Assoclation hospital The accident occurred close to the trans- ter depot on the Rock Island's tracks. Cash was on his way to work and was walking east towards the depot on the north track. He heard the train approaching from be- bind him, but supposed it was on the south track, the ome used by eastbound trains. Owing to recent washouts on the line the Rock Island, was sending its eastbound trains over the north track and this fact was unknown to Cash. He was walking in the Genter of the track and the cowcatcher struck him and threw him to one side. It 1s thought that the unfortunate man’s head struck the heavy beam at the top of the cowcatcher, as he was thrown to one side. He was perfectly consclous when picked up and taken to the baggage room in the depot, although the blood was gushing from his ears, Mouth and nose. Dr. J. C. Water- man was summoned and he at once had Cash removed to the Woman's Christian Assoclation hospital. Shortly after reach- ing the hospital Cash lapsed into uncon- sclousness and died within an hour. Although examination falled to show that the skull had been fractured it is supposed that death was due to some internal in- Jury in the head. Except for aslight bruise and abrasion over the right ear there were no marks on bis body. Cash was 30 years of age and his death bereaves a wife and three small children. In the absence of Coroner Treynor from the city Justice Carson will hold an inquest this morning at 10 o'clock at Lunkley's un- dertaking rooms, where the body was taken. Keep clean.

Another group would greet him “Chance’lor MacLean,” and thie was no mistaking that a Nebraskan was near. The “president” galutation denoted that an fowan was in sight. Under the circum- stances he admits that it was necessary to be on'one’s best behavior. Davenport _Democ Colonel M. M. Pric a former D: nporter and well known to our oldest citizens, but for some years a resident of South Dakota at Woon- socket, has left for Jeres, Spain, where he will serve as consul. This will be the colonel's second appointment to consular service, he having been sul general at Marsellles, France, dur! the Franco- Prussian war and won conslderable distinc- tion during those stirring times. He has filled the positions of clerk of the United States court at St. Louls and as a legis- lator during the ploneer days In South Dakota. Mr. Price was colonel of the Thirteenth Iowa regiment during the eivil war. He s well known over this state as an orator as well as a leader. He was the founder of the people’s party in South Dakota, but during the last three years has been back in the republican ranks and is now a strong advocate of the repub- lican party’s principles. ‘Washington Letter to Philadelphia Press: Secretary and Mrs. Shaw have been muc amused because all who heard that their children were being educated at Cornell college immediately concluded that It des} nated Cornell, at Ithaca, N.

The se retary {8 most profoundly convinced that everything in lowa surpasses all competi- tors and he contends that Cornell in lowa was fouded years before Its more famous rival by a brother of Ezra Cornell and that the western institution has more stu- dents and is doing better work than its eastern namesake. This argument has led to much good-natured chaff and to pro- longed discussion between the secretary and his assoclates. Cedar Raplds Republican: The state of Jowa now for the first time has a woman in the capacity of parole- clerk in Des Moines. The governor has named his sis- ter, Miss Anna B. Cummins, for that re- sponsible position. Miss Cummins is not quite an ordinary woman. She is a woman of much ability In business matters. She is a stenographer by profession. The place of parole clerk was created under Go ernor Bhaw, to meet the new requirements, In her position Miss Cummins will, in a measure, pass judgment on applications for parcles and she will also keep track of men who are sent out of the peniten- tiAry upon parole. Rare good judgment ls required of an official with such powers, Town State News Notes. Towa City Republican: The constitution says that the capital of Towa shall be at the forks of the Des Moines and Raccoon rivers. .The forks seem to be there yet, but what else will remain at the end of the flood s not 8o clear.

PLAN FOR A CENTRAL BUSINESS BODY \ —— Preparations for Encampment of the Fifty-First Regiment—Delay Organizing Des Moines Police Feorce, (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, July 20.—(Special.)—The organization of what will be known as the Commercial Association of lowa will be formed in Des Moines at a meeting to be held September 2 next, during the state fair. D. B. Lyons of this city was elected temporary president of an organization at Cedar Rapids looking to this end. Thore were represented at the provisional meet- Ing the commercial bodies of Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Sloux City, Davenport, Mar- shalltown, Mason City, Oelweln and ITowa City. It is planned to combine the local assoclations of jobbers, shippers and com- mercial bodies generally and to hold an- nual meetings. The following were agreed upon as the special and immediate objects of the assoclation: Next Encampment, The third of the series of regimental encampments by the Towa National Guard will begin at Atlantic next Tuesday. Major Hume of the adjutant geveral's staff re- turned from Atlantic, where he had fne spected the campground with a ‘view to understanding whether it would be all right in case of continucd wet weather, He found it entirely satisfactory and no amonut of rain can prevent a good encamp- ment. The campground at Cedar Falls last week was on a high knoll and the rain did not interfere in the least like it did at Fonda. The companies of the Fifty- first will go to Atlantic on Tuesday. The companies from Knoxville, Oskaloosa, Winterset, Des Molnes and Stuart will go on a special early in the day, and with them will be the band from Centerville. The companiessin southwestern Iowa will go around by Council Rluffs or over the Griswold branches of the Rock Island and Burlington. It is probable that governor's day will be fixed for next Saturday to sult the convenlence of the governor and his staff. Continuance of the Floods. The flooded region in lowa has moved to the southeast during the past week and the lower stretches of the rivers are now overflowed. The Des Moines river below Ottumwa and on to Keokuk is spreading out over the adjacent land and doing great damage to crops. The Skunk river, which has a low and wide valley, is higher than known for more than half a century and is running over land that has not before been flooded. The railroads in that part of the state are heavy sufferers. The Rock Island trains have been delayed and In some cases have been compelled to go a round-about way to reach their destina- tion. The rain of the past week, which has been over a part of the state which had not before suffered greatly, has been almost as bad as any of the ralnstorms of June, The damage done to growing grain and to hay especlally in eastern lowa Is very great. To inaugurate a vigorgus and continuous olicy of advertising thrdughout the United Blatos "and 'in such forelgn countries as may be deemed wise and from which large immigration to America s known to be made, the resources of Iowa, not only as an agricultural state, but especially as a manufacturing state. To see to it that our commissioners to the St. Louls exposition be urged to co- operate with this assoclation and that they be furnished with advertising matter pre- pared by this assoclation and be given all the ald that is in the power of the assocla- tion to render. That good roads for Towa be given the immediate and continued attention by this association that thelr importance deserves. That any and every proper subject of legislation affecting the general welfare of Towa and the common welfare of the vari- ous citles and towns In which the assocla tion members are located be given energetic attention from time to time. Delay in Organizing Police Force. The new police and fire commiseion, ap- pointed under a new law, has been de- layed in the work of organizing a police force on a clvil eervice basis, and it is con- ldered probable that as soon as the first tep Is taken in a suit in court for an In- junction will stop all the preliminaries. There are those who have opposed the formation of the commission and they be- leve that the law is so defective that the court wil] declare it void. In the meantime there are increasing troubles between the members of the police force and other city officers. Sewage Systems to Be Tried. ‘The Board of Control will recommend to the superintendents at the Mt. Pleasant hospital, Mitchelville Reform school and the Davenport Orphans’ home that tiey glve contracts to a Chicago company for the bullding of modern sewage systems at those institutions on the following bids of the company: Mitchellville, $2,225; Dav- enport, $4,450; Mt. Pleasant, $7,260. The contractors agree to use labor and m: terial furnished by the state at Mt. Plea ant, which would reduce the cost about $1,200. These sewage systems are guar- anteed automatic, will have a combination of, tank and filters and will be operated by the contractors for at least two years after they are bullt, so as to make sure that they will be satisfactory. If they are successful it 1s expected that similar plants will be placed in operation In severa] cities of the state. The board has $25,000 with which to erect the plants, but can save some of the appropriation for other work. No Increase of Felephone Taxes. The executive council has made only pre- liminary figures on the telephone and tele- graph assessments for the state and h covered all the larger telephone companies and the two telegraph companies, but it is learned that there is not likely to be any substantial Increase in the assessment of this class of property. The telegraph com- panies have made no complaint of their assessment and only a few of the minor telephone companies have asked for a re- duction. This work will be done before the rallroad assessment is completed. Returning to Washington. UTICA, N.
