WILSON RUMORS STILL PERSIST Reported lowa Senators Have Been Given to Understand Secretary Will Be Retired Younger M (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Jan. #.—(Special.)—Sena- tor George Cosson, special counsel for the state and candidate for attorney general, went to Cedar Rapids today and this even- ing spoke In the Presbyterlan church, de- livering a somewhat notable address on law enforcement, the moral element in log- islation and the general uplift movement. Senator Cosson Is the author of & series of new laws for the purposs of securing better enforcement of the laws of the state and especially those relating to moral questions. He Is recognized as ons of the foremost advoeates of a strict enforcement of all law Senator Cosson referred to the legisla- tion and called attention to the fact that the state of Iowa is perhaps the first state of the union to undertake to absolutely forbid and drive out of existence the social evil and banish all “red light" districts and under this new law there is not a place of that kind left in the state. He referred to the laws which place direct responsibility upon the law enforcing offi- cers of the state for enforcement of law. Referring to the duty of the officlal to enforce laws and to obey all laws, he said: “No man lo qualified, no man s fit, to hold public office who does not care more for the principles he maintains than he does for recelving the office, and If he once obtains office he is not fit to be re- talned unless his desire to properly dis- charge the duties of his office is far greater than his desire to hold office. He Insisted that in the present time there {8 work for the church and for church people in politics for there is great need of consideration of moral issues in relation to the state and nation. Packers and Iowa Rates. A brief for the rallroads has been pre- pared and published in the state in the matter of the rairoad rates on hogs, in which it 1s shown that the real reason the railroads raised the rates on hogs to eastern points is that they desired to save the small packing business in Iowa. It ls pointed out that at least 16 per cent of the Towa hogs sent to market are actually killed in Iowa, chlefly at two or’ three points, and that it was the desire to save this business that led the railroads to so strenuously cppose any discrimination in favor of the eastern cities. Rumors as to Wilson. There is still a great deal of interest manitest in Iowa in regard to the future of Secretary Wilson. In political circles the rumor is persistent that it has been virtnally decided that a younger and more active man shall take his place in the cab- inet, and that an Ohlo man is almost cer- taln to get the place. At the same time it is leaking out that while the Towa sen- ators have been very insistent all the time that he be retained, they have recelved in- formation which leads them to belleve that the retirement of Wilson is not far distant. Canvassing the Districts. There i& much canvassing of the con- gressional districts of Iowa to find out where this or that candidate is going to light at the finish. It is known that in the Seventh, Elghth and Ninth districts the frienas of candidates are busy making in- quiries among thelr friends to find out what may be expected on primary day next June. This results in a series of contra- dictions. It s found that in some localities sentiment is all one way, while not far away it is entirely Qifferent. Some of the candidates recelve reports that in certain communities there has been an Immense change in sentiment, and in others there has been none and no Interest is taken. One of the congressional candidates in scuthern lowa who has been out in the country reports that never before has:be found at this time of the year such & tend- ency for school house discussion of big po- litical matters.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—United States shipyards have won a notable victory against thelr European competitors in se- curing the contracts for the building of two battleships of the “Dreadnought” type for the Argentine government. This victory, however, came through the direct and unceasing efforts of the State depart- ment, acting through the lately established Latin-American bureau. From a commerctal standpoint the suc- cess of the departnient in securing these contracts 1s of the highest consequence, and is sald to establish the fact that little credence can be placed in the published reports to the effect that the attitude of the United States toward Nicaragua has cost this government the friendship of tho South and Central Americ n states. The matter had been In -active negotla- tions during the last nine'months and the final results will be the expen- diture’ in the United States for theso two ships of a total of $22,000,00. Tha contract is given into the Fore River com- pany, with permission to bufld one of the ships In the New York Shipbullding com- pany's yards. This {s the first contract of magnitude that has ever been made by a South American governmept with Amer- fcan ship bullders. The-two battleships will be of 28,000 tons of ‘twenty-two and one-half knots speed, with twelve-nch armor. : A e A contract aggregating $1,000,000 also has been obtained by the Bethlehem: Steel com- pany of Pennsylvania for furnbhifig guna for torpedo boats in coupse o Gonstruc- tion by the Argentine governmant: | A | Use Chamberlain's Cough “Réfifdy tor coughs, colds, croup and whooping cough.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.—President Taft and Senator Tillman clashed In a good- natured discussion of the merits of the per- sonnel of the army in Cuba and in the Phillppines tonight at the annual banquet of the Military Order of the Caraboa. army men and’their guests were loath to discuss just what was sald, but it was learned that the South Carolina senator spoke In a characteristic veln and made some pointed criticisms of the army. He realized, as he told the president after- wards, that he was touching Mr. Taft on a sore spot and the president seemed to understand that he was just doing it for the purpose of “stirring him up,” fr he said 8o in his reply, and while vigorously defending the army, he passed off the wholn matter as & joke. President Taft in his address said: My friend, the distinguished senator from South Carolina, I have known well, been glad to know, have been honored by hle friendehlp, and I want to 'assure you that he is a good deal better fellow than you sometimes think, from what he saye, He Is not always one who sits and taiks, cegenation and amalgamation and that sort of thing. He does hgve ther thoughts, but when he gets on his. feet and starts on that slippery subject it reguires a good deal of force, ur A §0od deal of poise, to keep him from golng turther than he really wented to go:himself, “He says that we are going to annex Cuba. Well, I don't think so.
