SETS HIMSELF RIGHT.
Secretary Shaw Denies Recently Re-
ported Statements which Have
Caused Much Comment.

Washington, July 23.-The following
statement was made public at the
office of the secretary of the treasury
Tuesday:
Numerous inquiries have been received
at the treasury department relative to
the truth or falsity OF the alleged asser-
ton Of Secretary Shsw that he was In
favor of five-year limit for service in
the treasury department. The original
newspaper article and those that fol-
lowed 1t stating that the secretary be-
lieved departmental employee lost his
usefulness after five years In the gov
eminent work were SO ridiculously i'm
probable that they were never dignified
by a denial. That great many people
have taken these articles seriously has
been demonstrated by the number Of in
quiries, not only from Washington. but
from all over the country.
ITO avoid any further mfsconception
of the facts in the case, II may be an
nounced on absolute authority that no
such remark or expression was ever
made by Secretary Shaw, and that the
articles purporting to represent his att
titude as headsman, are made out Of
whole cloth.
ION the contrary, II may be said with
equal authority that Secretary Shaw Is
heartily in accord with civil service In
every respect As an illustration OF his
attitude on matters of personnel, may
be cited his signing Monday OF a set
of regulations placing laborers and other
unskdlled positions under the control Of
the civil service commission, removing
thereby the last bit Of patronage at the
disposal OF the secretary OF the treasury"

vent my giving such attention to the

DOUBLE HANGING.
Condemned Mans Last Utterancea
Were Curses-Partner In Crime
Meets Death Quietly.

Greenville, Miss, July 23.-With
curses on his lips, with eyes bloodshot
and with the expressed wish that the
people of Greenville perish in the
fires of hell, Ashley Cooke died here
Tuesday: With him, but silently, Tom
Lauderdale also met his end. Both
were convicted of the murder of Engi-
neer G. NJ. Wray and were hanged from
the same gallows, and the swing of a
double trap sent both men to their
doom. The fatal trigger was snapped
at 1l:27 Tuesday morning. At 11:41
Cooke was pronounced dead. At IL: 43
the pulse of Lauderdale ceased to
beat. Both bodies were cut down ten
minutes later and turned over to their
respective families. Cooke died boast
ing that he would be in hell in few
minutes and damning everything and
everybody. He said that those who
had planned his murder would meet
their end and that $11 900 had been de-
posted in bank, $1,000 of which would
be paid for the death of each of the II
men who prosecuted him. The execu-
tion was witnessed by 5000 people.
When the sheriff had adjusted the
black cap he asked: "Are you both
ready?"
"Yes," yelled Cooke through the
folds of black. "D-n you people Of
Greenville; go to HI, all of you"
The trap was sprung and the men
dropped into space.

DEATH OF A CARDINAL.
Head of the Roman Propaganda, Car
dinaI LedOchowslxi, Passes
Away in Rome.

Rome, July 23.-Cardinal Ledochow-
ski, project of the congregation of
the propaganda of the Roman church,
died Tuesday morning, after long
illness. Cardinal Ledochowski was
born at Cork, October 30, 1922, and was
the descendant of an illustrious Polish
family. With Cardinal Ledochowski's
death Cardinals San Stefano and
Parocchi are the only surviving car
dinals created by Pope Plus TX.
There are many candidates for the
post made vacant by the death of Car
dinal Ledochowsld. In addition to
Cardinal Vannutelli, Cardinal Francis
Satolli, formerly apostolic delegate to
the United States, is prominently men,
toned as a candidate for the prefec-
ture of the congregation of the propa-
ganda. He is reputed to be a special
protege Of the pontiff, whose power
of appointing is absolute. tits pointed
out that Cardinal Satolli's thorough
knowledge of American affairs pecu-
liarly fits him for the prefecture, the
United States being the most impor-
tant country with which the propa-
ganda has to deal.

PRESENTS FROM POPE.
Gov. Taft and His Party Are Ten
dered Pretty Gifts by the
Vatican.

Washington, July 23.-Gov. Taft has
acquainted Secretary Root with the
fact reported in the news dispatches
from Rome that the pope had ten
dered several pretty and appropriate
gifts to himself and the members of
his party, and he has asked wheth-
er these can lawfully be accepted. 1t
was at once recognized that the ques-
ton thus presented involved some
very delicate and interesting points,
principal among them being pos
sible decision, expressly to be avoid
ed at this stage in the opinion of the
officials, as to the temporal powers
Of the pope. If these were decora-
lions or gifts of large value, then I'M
der the constitutional inhibition, they
might not be received without au-
thority of congress If the pope is re-
garded as having temporal powers
as being a prince. Secretary Root has,
however, avoided an unpleasant deci-
sion of this question by informing
Gov. Taft that il these gifts are not
Of considerable intrinsic value, and
are personal in character, they may
be accepted as mere souvenirs, in
which case the personality of the giver
need not be matter of official in
quiry. On the other hand, II the gifts
are Of exceptional value, which is not
believed to be the case from the news
paper reports, then they may be de-
posted in the Smithsonian institute
in this city.

ago while at work as a driver in the
mine at Keb owned by the Illinois &
Iowa Fuel Co, OF this city, has enter

OPPOSED TO HENDERSON.
Milling Interests I'm a Movement to
Defeat His Reelection a.
Speaker of the House.

Minneapolis, July 23.-H. S. Kennedy,
secretary of the National Federation
of Millers, announces that the milling
interests of the country are in league
to procure the defeat of Speaker Hen
derson in his race for reelection to
congress. The announcement was
made prior to Kennedy's departure
for Des Moines, Ia, to attend meet
ing at which measures and means to
encompass Henderson's political down
fall will be discussed. The resentment
of the millers owes its genesis to
Speaker Henderson's action in hold
ing up the London dock clause, an
amendment to the Harter bill, de-
signed to do away with what American
exporters regard as unjust discrimi-
nation against United States -four in
the unloading charges at London. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Kennedy, Representa-
tive Loren Fletcher had practically
secured assurances of the passage of
the amendment, and the millers of the
country felt certain their wishes would
be carried out, when Speaker Hender-
son suddenly interposed his interior
ence and held up the measure.

IOWA CROP REPORT.
Weekly Bulletin Issued by the
Weather Bureau.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, July %.


The week was seasonably warm,
with two to three fair days for haying
and harvesting on dry upland. Gen.
eral rains occurred on the 18th to 10th
and severe local windstorms with
heavy downpours swept over extern
sive areas in the southwest, south
central, southeast and east central
districts, causing damage to small
grain, corn and hay crops that cannot
as yet be estimated.
The most damaging effects were
wrought in the section southeast of a
line from Page to Dubuque; but near
ly all parts Of the state suffered some
damage from excessive moisture The
worst feature of the crop situation is
noted in the reports from nearly all
districts that the grain crops are
ready to harvest and the fields are too
wet to be entered by harvesters. Oats
are badly lodged in one-fourth to one
half of the area seeded. Wheat and
oats are generally we'll filed, and the
damage by rust is not very great ;but
the situation is critical, and normal
weather is imperatively needed to
save these crops. The reports indi-
cate that corn has suffered least dam
age, and the condition of that great
staple in we'll cultivated fields is still
quite promising. Much hay is yet un-
cut, and much has been spoiled after
being cut. Pasturage is bulky but
not in prime condition for stock in
the flooded regions. Apples are badly
windfallen in many localities.

PREVENT MOSQUITOES.
Row the Disease Transmitting Pests
Can be Avoided.

After a rainy season thelbarrels,
tubs and pools are filled with water to
stand from two to six weeks or
longer. This!breeds mosquitoes by
the hundreds, Their bite is poison
GUS and but few people realize the
dangerous results. Medical and
scientific authorities have given it
attention.
The U. =. Medical board have
proved that.the spread of infectious
diseases are frequently carried from
one person to another by insects, such
as mosquitoes, etc.
Another authority says, statistics
prove that in mosquitoesi ridden
neighborhood the death rate is high. +"
Two Spaniards, who submitted to
test of being bitten by an infected
mosquito, died very quickly with yell
low fever A trained nurse in Hav-
ana, Cuba, allowed the test OF the
mosquito bite on his arm (which had
bitten a,yellow fever patient) and
death was the result.
Prevention.-Take little fore
thought and a tablespoon full or
more of kerosene to each barrel, tub
or vessel that contains standing
water and when the wiggle-tails be-
gin to appear give them dose OF the
oil and see them die as they come up
for air, The oil need not spoil the
water for washing purposes, as you
can skim the oil of with the wiggle-
tails after all are dead.
