S0UABBLE OVER SP0ILS
Serious Row Among Ogden Re.

Especial to The Herald,

Ogden, July 12.--The Ogden

attendant long train of spicy incidents
resulting therefrom. is history, and now
the appointment of the assistant post
master has become a bone of conten-
ton for ogden Republicans. 4 COM
mittee meeting was held tonight to
settle the problem. and the committee
adjourned with the problem still unset
tied.
1t seems Thomas a. Davis, appointed
postmaster. is the nominal dispenser
of this particular piece of patronage,
but the horde of scrambIers after the
place rather daZed Davis, and he
paused for the tumult to subside. 1t
did not subside, and Davis weakly fell
back on the party organization, passing
the name up to the county committee
to decide. For this purpose the COM
mittee was called together tonight.
Each member of the executive COM
mittee was present except George K.
Kelly Chairman Dix presided. After
lengthy discussion the commit
tee adjourned, after refusing to endorse
either of the leading candidates, throw
ing the matter back to Mr.. Davis who
will be obliged to take the response

When Coronation Is Over
Americans in Society.

London, July 12.-The announcement
that the coronation of King Edward
will probably occur between Aug. 3
arrangement of plans in all directions.
Visits TO the country and TO the con-
tinent have been Cancelled and the sea
son has been automatically heightened
to the middle of August.
While on all sides there is deep graft
fication that the king is well enough to
go through the ceremony, it is general
~ accompanied by an expression of
feeling that it win be a relief when II
is all over. The shock caused by the
sudden postponement of the first
planned ceremony must inevitably pro-
duce natural nervousness until the
king is actually crowned Everything
except society functions is still at a
standstill.
These continue to be exceptionally
brilliant. and in them Americans have
never played such a prominent part.
The success of the coronation baza r
was an eloquent tribute to the Ameri-
can women who did so much to organ

Mackays and others are entertaining
on a lavish scale.

MORGAN Is RETlCENT
Ownership of Cunard Line Still a
Problem Subsidic Mat
ter Unsettled.

New York, July 12.-Reports of the
acquisition of the Cunard line by the
Morgan combination can neither be
confirmed nor denied with authority.
says a London cable to the Tribune.
The revival of these rumorS is the nat
ural consequence of the talk among
the colonial premiers on the subject of
steamship subsidies. They are unWill-
ing to discuss any plan or policy which
includes subsidies for any line run
ming between British and American
ports, and are leaving the Cunard man
ayers and the shareholders to work
out their own salvation, without help
from any portion of the empire.
There is now a general understand
ing among colonial representatives that
the imperial conference will not act
upon the subsidy question, since Colo
NAL Secretary Chamberlain prefers to
have the colonies agree upon a general
scheme before the cooperation of the
British government is definitely pro
posed

ORDERS COLLECTION
OF TAXES SUSPENDED

Washington, July 12--The acting
commissioner of internal revenue has
issued instructions suspending the col
lection of taxes on undivided profits
of national banks under the war reve-
nue. act. The banks fought the conten-
ton of the government that undivided
profits were part of the surplus of
banks, and the Leather Manufacturers
National bank of New York brought
suit against Collector Treat to prevent
the collection of the tax. The circuit
court decided in favor OF the govern
ment. Previously ii had been the un-
Outstanding that if the court sustained
the government the tax would be COL
lected. Now, however, the bank in the
test case has appealed to the supreme
court, and the acting commissioner to-
day instructed Treat to suspend collec-
ton until the return of Commissioner
Yerkes, when general instructions will
be issued to all collectors.

What we mag expect Morgan Assumes the Turkish Debt

Young German Talked Bank ri.
rectors Out of Eighty Mil
lion Marks.

Berlin, July 1Z.-The ruin or the
Leipsiger bank that failed about
year ago for nearly 30O,oo0,000 marks.
was wrought by the fascinating per-
sonaIty of Adolf Schmidt, according
to testimony given at the three weeks
trial of the banks directors, now near
ing an end. Schmidt. who is the head
of grain driving company of Cassel,
a. concern exploiting on an enormous
scale a process for drying beer dregs
and cattle feed. 'aersuaded the bank TO
advance him sums of money aggregat-
ing 10000 900 marks.
The accused directors, who were sue
eessiveIy examined before the jury,
were unable to give d lucid explana-
ton of their reasons for conSenting to
make. these extraordinary loans. Ev-
cry member of the apparently well
meaning board admitted that this
colossal business mistake was indie
feasible upon sound commercial prin-
ciples. Nevertheless they consented.
because Schmidt made them believe
in the amazing possibilities and profits
of the process.
Schmidt ALSO had an invention for
distilling wood alcohol by which he
represented that he would obtain the
monopoly of the wood alcohol of the
world His eyes were upon the Amer
lean field, as we'll as the European,
ana ne opened negotiations with Amer
lean COMPANIES for the formation of
a world trust and establishing sub
companies in every continental coun-
try The aicohol invention contribut-
ed TO the dazzling of tie d<~ctors who.
however. made it clear that they did
not know how much the bank had
really loaned Schmidt. Although they
were backing Schmidt's schemes, they
were deceived by the banks manager.
Exner, who kept secret accounts. Why
Exner acted in the manner in which
he did is equally mystery, for neither
he nor the other directors appear to
have made any money personally out
of the scheme. Schmidt is described
as having a quiet manner and simple
way of expressing himself in ornate
language. He talks with a calm air of
conviction and seems 10 have believed
completely in himself He is now in
Jail awaiting examination
EXner's testimony showed that he
was led on step by step, hoping to save
the banks millions. as the cutting of
of Schmidt would wreck the Trebor-
trocknung company and result in a
total loss to the bank of the sums
loaned.

TRACY STILL AT LARGE
Fugitive Said to Be Badly

Seattle, Wash, July 12.-Late adj

of Auburn He is badly wounded and

be killed or captured.
A special from Kanaskat. Wash, in
the Palmer cutoff. says:
Tracy is near here. He has Travelled
nine miles of territory today and is
trying to reach the other side OF the
Sheriff WoOlery. with the bloodhOunds,
arrived here this evening, and it is not
thought the outlaw has yet passed this
point.
AS Tracy this morning was assumed
to be heading for a pass over the Cas-
cades, the newspaper men took long
lead of the deputies and crossed to
Enumclaw. The farm houses along
the route We're visited. but Tracy had
no passed that way. 1t is thought he
took the Secor trail. This is a bride
path following the ridge from Green
River - Palmer.
1t does not touch the railroad at any
point until Palmer is reached and
would furnish an absolutely secure
route TO the bandit. he is thought 10
be somewhere on this trail at present.
The CORRESPONDENTS reached Palmer at
s O'Clock tonight and found Woolery' s
deputies here with the bloodhounds.
! That Tracy is heading here is a rea-
sonable certainty. 1t is believed he is
somewhere between here and Frank
| lin. Guards are watching all avail
able routes. Tracv can only pass the
mountain range at two points. One is
\
cross at the Stampede pass, where the
| Northern Pacific goes through. The
other is TO take the partly completed
4, state road built in 1896 that leads from
| the White river across the NatcheZ
/ pass to the heddWaterS Of the Yakima,
The latter is a difficult route and in
| habited the entire distance. 1t is al
most beyond reason that he can ever
cross the mountains. but if he does he
will stand small chance in the open
| prairies. where speed is the only as
surance of safety.

freight they need not attempt to do so.
The railroads depreeate the attitude
on the part of the shippers. They
declare that the strike of the team
sters is a matter between their en-
plOyers and the teamsters, and that it
is no affair of the railroads, and they
do not see why they should make
handlers for the sake of producing
peace between the shippers and their
men.
Teamsters Lend Aid.
The freight handlers, who are now
fully assured of the aid of the team
sters whether a strike shall be sane
toned by that organization or not, an
nounced tonight that they will make
an effort to call out the railroad
switchmen by. EIS<1ling to them not to
handle cars of freight that are loaded
by nOn-uniOn men
1t was announced at the headquar-
tiers of the Freight Handlers union
that this has been done. but Grand
Master Hawley of the Switchmen' s
union. who is in the CITY on business
having no connection with the strike
of the freight handlers, said that he
had received no such request; that un-
der the rules of his organization ii
would be out of the question for him
TO call strike and that he did not
believe that there was any prospect
of the men going out to aid the freight
handlers. The national convention of
the longshoremen is now in session
here and Grand Master Keefe of that
body said tonight that he had not been
approac hed in the matter of a SYM
pathetic strike, but that the freight
handlers could present their request
to the convention on Monday if they
should desire to do So
What action would be probable in
such an event. Mr.. keefe declared he
could not guess
Freight shipments by lake have been
brought to a standssill The refusal OF
the commission merchants drivers to
haul this class of goods left steamboat
lines entering this port devoid of out
going freight tonight. They expect
they viii be unable to handle incom-
ing matter tomorrow, even of a per-
ishable character. unless the strike
shall be settled in the interim.
