DeB Moines, Jan. 19. —(Special)
—Representative Lundt created
a sensation in the house this
morning by introducing a resolu
tion requiring out of town lobby
ists to register as soon as they
arrive in the city and to get out
of town inside of thirty hours, per
mitting them to return and appear
only once before a committee hav
ing bills in which they are inter
ested. Local lobbyists are to reg
ister also and are to appear but
once before committees. The res
olution was not taken seriously by
the members of the house.
A bill was offered in the senate
this morning prohibiting the re
marriage of all persons divorced,
except when the ground of divorce
is adultery, in which case the in
nocent person may remarry.
The contest committee reported
this morning in favor of seating
Charles Youde, the republican
member-elect from O'Brien county.
January 30 is fixed for the time of
consideration of the report. In
the meantime O'Brien county will
not be represented. Representa

the democrat, George H. Whit

O'Brien county by virtue of his

of the Iowa senate unanimously
today placed themselves on record
-as opposed to the legal execution
of Mrs. Tolla, the New Jersey wo

a petition for her full and com

He was invited to addrebs the assem

The occasion is the celebration of his

Washington Bureau of Courier.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 19.
ai least one "Iowa idea" is popular
in Washington: The "Allison" or
"Iowa" scheme of shaking the patron
age plum tree and distributing the
fruit.
Under the system in vogue In the
passing of the "federal pie" in Iowa,
which is the handiwork of Iowa's
grand old man, Senator Allison, the
congressmen have equal, and in one
respect, larger powers than the sen
ators. In many states this patronage
is exclusively under the control of the
United States senators.
liberal anl two labor gains were an- prior to adjournment their successors
nounced today as the result of yester
day's elections. The totals now are:
Liberals, 218 Unionists 94 Irish Na
tionalists 70 Laborites 37.
Once in four years, usually in the
latter part of the long session of con
gress, the delegation from Iowa, in
cluding senators, get' together, usually
in Senator Alllcon's committee room,
and take up the question of federal
patronage. The terms of office of the
United States marshals, collectors,
district, attorneys,, bftnk examiners- and
pension agent expire June 30, and
are recommended.
Plums Just Go Round.
It so happens that in Iowa there
there are just about plums enough to
go round, that is, to give one piece
of pie to each congressional district,
although at the present time the sec
ond district is without federal patron
age. The .caucuses of the delegation
representing the northern and south
ern districts are held at different times
as they have nothing in common, save
so far as the senators may participate
in each caucus.
Senator Allison Issue? the call for
the meeting of the northern district

Head of Firm Says Liabilities Are
$400,000 and the Assets $300,000—
Cause of Failure Is Poor Results In
Cash Grain and Cost of Business.
Chicago, Jan. 19.—Federal Judge
Bethea today appointed the Chicago
Title and Trust Co. receiver for the
firm of George S. McReynolds & Co.,
and fixed the bond of the company at
150,000.
Board of trade operators were star
tled yesterday afternoon when a notice
was posted announcing that the firm
of McReynolds & Co., for years one of
the most prominent firms In the Chica
go grain trade, had failed. Although
it had been rumored for several
months that the firm was in difficulty,
the failure wis unexpected by the
traders and daused considerable sur
prise among the other commission
houses. George. S. McReynolds, presl
dent of the firm, in a statement issued
in -the afternoon, placed the firm's lia
bilities at $400,000 and the assets at
$300,000.
Formal announcement of the failure
came without warning. At the close
of the exchange for the day, the fol
lowing notice was given out:
All accounts of McReynolds & Co.
have been transferred to Prlngle,
Fitch & Rankin. All obligations will
be paid In full. It was a compulsory
transfer.
The first intimation that the firm
was in trouble came early in the day,
when a large number of firms and in
dividuals received back from several
banks McReynolds & Co.'s checks
with "n. s. f."—not sufficient funds—
written on them. The matter was
kept from the traders' ears unti^. after
the close of the exchange.
"Poor results in cash grain and the
large expenses necessary to carrying
on our business in the last few years
are the causes, of the suspension," said
Mr. McReynolds. "We sustained no
losses in the speculative branch of the
business. The failure cannot be traced
to causes operating at the moment,
but to the cumulative effects Qf poor
business. We may rfesuthe J^at&r on."

3ERVICE
cat
}»v,
Washington D. C., Jan: 19.—The
Keep commission, which investigated
the crop statistical work of the depart
ment of agriculture, has submitted to
th© President its report, recommending
that the methuls be improved or the
service discontinued. The report is
the outgrowth of the cotton scandal,
which discredited the department and
led to iumors that Secretary Wilson
would resign.
One of the chief faults pointed out Is
that under the present system the bu
reau of statistics'B estimates have been
underestimates, and the underesti
mates have been especially great in
oereal crops and live stock. The report
makes no reference to Secretary Wil
son's conduct of office.
The report makes various sugges
tions looking tcv improvement of the
service. It saysVhat crop conditions
should be expressed in percentages
without fractions, since the use of
fractions implies a largQfc measure of
'sd of a

COMMITTEE
Its Author Will Insist on Its Consld
eratlon Day By Day.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 19. Rail*
road rate legislation is to be. consid*
ered by both houses of congress from
now on. A bill will get through thtf
house without any difficulty but meanJ
while the senate is proceeding along
its own lines and will discuss half a
dozen°different bills. In the long run
the Dblliver measure which Is substanV
tially the same as that to be passed
by the houso, stands th© best clx&ncflf
of getting through the senate.
The democrats in the house have iin
troduced their substitute measure.
They will support it practically in W
body and after their substitute has
been voted down they will vote for
the Dolliver-Hepburn bill. Both re
publicans and democrats will unite on
It and it will not be necessary to havs
a roll call.
The senate committee took up th^V
railway rate question today. SenatoiT
Dolllver will move for continuous ses4
sions day by day in order tliat the oonw
mittee may dispose of the subjecq
without waiting for action by the
house. .'
8enate Tangle Possible,./
There is a lamentable lack of discW
pllne in the senate, as a matter ofi
course. From present appearances it
will be impossible to get any partlcu-*
lar meprSuro out of the committee
Interstate

In formulating his measure Col. Hepv
burn in the house made so few changes
in the Dolllver bill that when the house
measure comeq to the senate it will be
easy to substitute it for the Dolllver
bill, or vice versa.
Elklns May Bolt His Own Bill.
There is not a ghost of a chance fofl
the passage of the Elkins rate
bill and no one knoVs this
better than Elkins himself. When he
was asked today how many members
of his committee would be lined up
for his bill he replied, with a laugh,
"One. Myself." Later on in a cloak*
room he expressed doubt whether he
himself could be kept in line all the
time for the retroactive measure hs
had himself proposed.

the committee will be forced to a pre*

senate. That is to say, they may bo
obliged to report that they have been
unable to come to any majority conclu»
sion on any one bill.
In that case It would be permlsslbls
under the rules of the committee, by
common consent, to send a series of
reports split up among the different
measures now before the senate. The
house bill would have a standing ell
of its own because of the fact that it
had been passed by one branch of con*
