EXHIBITS FOR ST. LOUIS FAIR
Foreign Countries Are to BE We'll
Represented in the way Of
National Displays.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 25.-Secretary Hay
has sent urgent instructions to all OF the
United States diplomatic officers abroad to
do everything within their power to insure
displays at the worlds exposition at st.
Louis from the countries at which they are
accredited.
The purpose was not only to secure con-
siderable individual displays by great man
ufacturers and merchants, but also to have
the various governments themselves make
national exhibits, as these features Of in
ternattonal fairs have usually bcen the more
interesting.
Encouraging reports are coming in now
and one just received from Commissions
General John Barrett conveys the gratifying
announcement that China, Japan and Corea
will participate in the fair on a much more
extensive scale than they have undertaken
in any preceding International exposition.
The three countries named have agreed not
only to prepare comprehensive exhibits, but
to erect buildings on the fair grounds and
send imperial commissioners to represent
them.
Commissioner Barrett has started on a
tour Of southern China, bound for Australia
and New Zealand. Both OF these great
English colonies have declined the invita-
tion of the United States government to
participate in the worlds fair. 1t is the
belief here that this decision was brought
about through a misunderstanding OF the
scope and purpose of the exposition and
Mr.. Barrett's reports indicate that they
may be led to reconsider their action.

MAKES PECULIAR CONFESSION
Iowa Man Tries to Save from Serious
Charge Another who Attempted
to Rob Him.

CLINTON. Ia, Sept. 25.-(Special)-In
order that an innocent man might not suf-
fer and be compelled to answer to the
charge of assault to commit murder, a
man who says his name is p. J. Kelley, has
given himself up to the sheriff Of this
county, and is now a prisoner in the COUNTY
Jail.
His story is an interesting one. Monday
night there was a cutting ARRAY, in which
one Dan Conley was badly 'lacerated and
stabbed with a knife. One thrust of the
blade passed dangerously near the jugular
vein. The cries of Conley brought a po-
lice officer to the scene, and Conley stated
a man by the name Of Charles Evans, who
was with him, had done the cutting.
Evans was arrested and taken to the
county Jail. He was arraigned and, plead
ing not guilty and waving examination
was bound over to the grand Jury. Last
night a man by the name of p. ]. Kelley
went to the office of the sheriff, and stated
that he, and not Evans, had cut Dan Con-
ley. He said the two men were together
and attempted to rob him, and that in the
fight that followed he stabbed Conley.
He Immediately left the city, and seeing
an account of the arrest OF Evans on the
charge by Conley. he decided to return to
Clinton and give himself up, in order that
a man innocent of the charge. but guilty
Of an attempt at robbery, might be lib
Grated. The grand jury, which is in SEES
sion, is investigating the matter.

Joseph AbOdeely of Cedar Rapids Ex-

migration Bureau Says She
Must Go Home.

DETROIT, Sept. 25.-Driven to despera-
tion by the prospect Of being forever sepa-
rated from the man she loved and had nearly
circled the globe in order to come to and
wed, Alexandra Joseph, a young Syrian girl,
in a supreme effort to escape from the
United States immigration agent who was
about to deport her, threw herself from the
window OF a Michigan Central passenger
train running fifty miles an hour today and
was instantly killed.
The tragedy occurred two miles north OF
Newport on the Toledo Division Of the Michi-
gan Central, and was the elimination of
years Of effort Of Joseph Abodeely Of Cedar
Rapids, Ia, to lead his Old World sweet
heart to the altar. But when he had saved
enough money to pay the girls passage to
the United States and she had come as far
as Montreal it appeared that the troubles OF
the young couple had Just begun. In Mont
real on May 16 last the United States I'm
migration bureau refused to admit the girl
to the United States on the ground that she
was afhicted with sore eyes, but Abodeely
thought this difficulty could be removed by
medical treatment. so he had the girls eyes
treated at the Montreal Marine hospital for
three months. In August. his funds having
run low, he attempted to run the gauntlet
of the inspectors at Detroit and was caught.
Both the young foreigners were detained by
the United States authorities at Detroit and
Abodeely narrowly escaped imprisonment
for violating the immigration laws, the
sympathy of the officers being aroused in
his favor. From that time the girls fate
hung in the balance until today immigration
Agent Cameron Miller took her in custody
for the trip to New York, with a warrant
from tho gRoRatary ~ tho fraaapru 10 have
the girl deported to her home in Syria.
The officer had allowed his charge to go
to the toilet room and in a moment was
Mortified to see the door fly open, revealing
an empty room and an open window. The
train was run back as soon as 1t could be
stopped and the young woman was found
dead beside the track.

INSIST ON MORE MEN TEACHERS
Majority of Board of Education Can
not See IL in that
Light.

Including Principal Ensign there are four
male teachers in the High school faculty.
They constitute one-fourth Of the faculty,
the other twelve teachers being women.
Several members of the Board Of Educa-
ton are OF the opinion that there should
be a larger proportion of men and this
question was the subject OF considerable
discussion at a secret meeting of the board
held Wednesday afternoon in Secretary
Ross office. ..
The question came up on the request Of
Superintendent Clifford for the appointment
of an additional teacher in the High school,
made necessary by the increased enroll
ment. The teachers committee, acting on
the recommendation OF Principal Clifford.
presented the name Of Miss Emily Young
Of Humboldt. Ia. for the position, but
other members Of the board urged that a
male teacher be selected, giving as their
reasons that they believed the morale OF
the school demanded an increased number
Of men in the faculty.
The discussion, 1t is said, was prolonged
and at times quite minated and reference
was frequently made to the spirit of In
subordination which had prevailed in the
High school last year, by the members
who urged the appointment OF a male
teacher in place of another woman. In
the long run the recommendation of the
teachers committee prevailed and Miss
Young was elected. She will teach mathe-
matics,
Z At this meeting the board decided to
pay cash for the brick pavement recently
completed on South Seventh street and
Willow avenue in front of the Bloomer
school property. The assessment against
the school district for this improvement
amounts to 81, $50 and by paying cash the
district will save about $3.50.
The board also ordered natural slate
blackboards for the four new rooms in the
addition being erected at the Pierce street
school, the two rooms being opened in the
High school and the two rooms recently
opened at the Second avenue school build
ing. The boards will cost 16 cents a square
foot, to which must be added the freight,
making the total cost about 20 cents a
foot.

MAYBE THE EMPEROR LIVES
Washington Receives No OficIRI Con-
6rmatIon of Report of COren's
Rulers Death.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-The rumOred
death Of the emperor Of Corea fails to find
confirmation in any Official quarter here
The suggestion is thrown out that a break
probably has occurred through the post
ponement Of the celebration Of the emper-
or's birthday and accession to the throne.
The emperor was so years old on September
s, and he assumed the throne on October
-, 1897. He had contemplated the cele-
bration OF the anniversary Of these two
events on the latter day, October IL next
but the State department not long ago was
advised that this celebration had been post
poned for a year on account OF the preva-
lence OF cholera in Corea. 1t is assumed
that a loose statement Of these facts has
led to the circulation OF the report of the
death OF the emperor.

department, between $500 and $500. The
city has not at the present time, with the
depleted condition Of the streets and alleys
fund, the money with which to do this
work.
In speaking Of the request Of the park
board yesterday Mayor Morgan said:
while the cut on Graham avenue might
develop increased travel on this street and
make It a more popular thoroughfare to
Paramount park from the south portion Of
the city, I do not see where the money can
COM from at this time to make the de-
sired Improvement. l am doubtful whether
the prospective benefits warrant the ex-
penditure Of $500 on the cut, as asked for
by the park beard. 1t is possible, however,
that next year, ~ the condition Of the
streets and alleys fund warrants it, this
cut may be made

ARE IN A HURRY FOR PAVING
Harrison Street People Urge City to HelE
Them in the Matter.
WANT CONTRACT ENFORCED OR ANNULLED
Was Let Two Years Ago and No Nov
Yet Made 10 start work-Mnyor
Expresses His Views on
Matter.

Residents and property owners on Har-
rlson street are again urging the city
authorities to force Contractor Wickham
to fulfill his contract and pave this street
this year. Up to date Wickham has made
no sign that he intends to carry out his
contract, which was awarded him in Au-
gust, 1900, two years ago, although he has
repeatedly assured Mayor Morgan and
members Of the city council that he will
pave the streets this year.
Property owners interested in the paw
ing OF Harrison street are now insisting
that Wickham be compelled to carry out
his contract and pave the street or that
the contract be annulled and the city ad-
vertise for new bids and make a new con-
tract. In the event of the city adopting
the latter course it Is urged by the Har-
rison street property owners that the city
take steps to enforce the penalty for fail
ure on the part Of Wickham to carry out
his contract and that suit be brought on
his bond.
The contract for the paving OF Harrison
street was awarded to e. A. Wickham in
August, 1900, on his bid of $1.33 per square
yard for Council Blufis vitrihed brick, top
and bottom courses. 1t is said that this
figure is lower than the work con now be
done without loss TO the contractor anu
that is the main reason why the street
has not been paved.
Mayor Morgan, who said he voiced the SEN
timent OF several of the alderman, stated
yesterday that he was in favor OF the city
taking some definite action in this matter at
once as the property owners and resi-
dents on Harrison street had certainly
some rights which the city ought to pro-
tect. He said he favored advertising for
new bids for this paving in the event OF
Contractor Wickham not beginning the
work by October and suing Wickham on
his bond. 1t had been stated, he said,
that Wickham's bond would not protect
the city, and II this was the case the
sooner the city found 1t out the better.
Mayor Morgan said further that the people
on Harrison street were entitled to have
their street paved II they so desired It,
and that the city should take the proper
steps to enforce It's contract with Wickham
or else annul 1t and, sue Wickham for
whatever damages might have been suf-
fered by his failure to carry out the work
according to his contract. The mayor
declared his intention OF bringing up the
matter at the next meeting of the city
council with a view to having some def
mite action taken by that body in this mat
ter.

Barnes on two indictments for forgery, one a
note Of $4,000 held by the bank at
Arlington and the other a note for 50, 900
held by the Aetna State bank at Oelwein.
These indictments were seven years old,
and IT is not probable had Barnes remained

made to bring him back for trial. But he
concluded a few weeks ago that he might
safely return to the old home. When the
case against him was called he pleaded
guilty. He has not yet been sentenced.
