was witnessed by Miss Myrtle Shumate, a
stenographer in Scott's office who ran
screaming into the hall.
According to her story the two men were
in Scott's private office for nearly an hour
disputing over claim for $4,000. Sud-
denly the door was thrown open and the
men staggered into the outer office, kick
ing each other and using their fists. Steb-
bings held the long steel, paper knife in
his right hand and the weapon could be
seen flashing as the men struggled. Sud
denly Stebbings struck Scott in the body.
The blow was repeated a moment later.
Scott staggered backward and finally fell
to the floor. He died within half an hour.
Mr. Scott was 43 and lived at the Vir-
ginia hotel He leaves a. widow and one
son who are at present in the east. Mr..
Scott was recently president and owner OF
the Marshfeld G. Southeastern railroad
and owner Of the Scott Lumber company

Washington, Aug. s:--United States At
torney Gould as counsel for Acting Sec
retary of War Sanger to-day filed an an
swer in Miss Rebecca J. Taylor's suit for
reinstatement in the war department.
The answer admits all Miss Taylor's al
| legations relative to her being In the
classified service and that the president
| in 1896 issued regulations to govern re-
movals of classified employees. It is con-
tended, however, that these regulations
are simply administrative instructions to
those holding office by virtue Of the pres
ident's appoint ment, indicating the man
ner in which they shall exercise their
duties as his agents in the removal Of
subordinates and that they have no other
| full effect or virtue whatever -,
The brief then sets forth that the at
tention of Secretary was called to let
I ter published in daily paper in this
city rejecting upon the presidents ad-
ministration in the Philippines. : Fl"
] Miss Taylor was asked whether she was
author of this letter, and 1t Is contended
/ that this was, in effect, charge pre-
| ferred against her thin the meaning
4 Of the civil service rules and regulations.
1 Miss Taylor's answer admits the author
/ ship but she made no defense of the act;
/ instead she took exception to the form of
the notice. The brief then states that the
secretary after due consideration decided
i that the letter written by Miss Taylor
I was prejudicial to the order and effici-
| ency Of the service Of the war depart :
ment and that her further connection
! with the service was incompatible with its
I best interests. He therefore directed that
an order be issued discharging her.
1 1t Is claimed that all acts performed by
1.-THE secretary were in accordance with the
4 rules and regulations promulgated for
. government of civil service. But it is
4 further submitted that Miss Taylor had
no vested right or interest in the en-
I ployment formerly exercised by her, and
that her relation to the executive civil
service is a matter wholly within the
a cognizance of the secretary whose action
!, is not subject to review by the court
; LIT is therefore asked that Miss Taylor's
prayer for mandamus to compel the sec
retary Of war to restore her to her place
Lin the civil service be dismissed.

E. F. Waite is now superintendent OF
police Of Minneapolis.
The report circulated yesterday that he
was to be placed at the head of the de-
partment was corroborated this afternoon
when Alderman D. P. Jones, acting mayor,
announced the appointment
Mr.. Waite's appointment will come be-
fore the city council for. confirmation at
Its special meeting next Wednesday even
ing. He will not take active charge OF
the office until Aug. 1S. In the meantime,
Captain Henry Getchel, who has been act
ing chief for week, will continue in
command. Captain Getchel will be re-
tained as captain.
Mr. Waite has been prominently before
the public as assistant city attorney fol-
the last two years. His work at the mu-
ncipal court has been such as to bring
him into close and constant contact with
the police department, police work ant
the persons whom the police watch. II
has been the best possible school of ex-
perience which he could have attended
had he purposely chosen to fit himsel
for, the great responsibility which he i:
now about to assume.
Mr.. Waite has enjoyed point Of van
tage from which he has been able to de
tect the defects in the present system o
administering police affairs, and while b.
Is in no sense an extremist, he may b.
depended upon to institute reforms TO-
which there is now an urgent demand.
What his attitude toward the so-calle'
''red light district will be, may b.
judged from the fact that it was his en-
ergetic prosecution of the case against tn
notorious Pete Blar, proprieto
of the Park theater, one Of tn
toughest joints of the ,tenderloin district
that landed the latter in the workhous
for a straight term after he had persist
emily defed the law with the collusion o
the police.

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
Chicago, Aug. Although the hunt for
the Burlington train robbers was kept up
to-day no new clues we're found and no
arrests made. Detective Evans of the
Identification bureau .at Washington, and
two Chicago detectives, went up the Mis-
sissippi river on a secret mission, re-
fusing to allow any local officials or news
paper men to accompany them. No report
of results have come from the expedition.
The only promise of developments held
out was when the city marshal of Belle
vue. Iowa, telephoned to Savanna that he
had important disclosures to make. He
hurried over to the Illinois city and was
closeted with the Pinkerton men for more
than an hour. His disclosures were not
given out .
Detectives line the river bank for miles
above and below Savanna, and all station
and railroad buildings in nearby towns are
kept under constant surveillance by local
officers in the hope of intercepting sus-
poets. s

the pension department cOmmends him
to the public as superintendent of police.
AS special government pension agent he
broke up a conspiracy in northwestern
Iowa to defraud the government, and Sc
cured the Imprisonment of the leader of
the pension grafters. He at that time ex
hibited great resourcefulness, fearless
ness and skill in breaking UP combina-
ttons: for criminal purposes. +
. MIR. waite's Ideas, :
Mr.. Waite had this to say about having
accepted the appointment:
AS 1 suppose the public already Knows
this responsible office has not come to me
of my own seeking. 1 have accepted it after
careful consideration, although it is wholly
out of line with any plans or ambitions
which, as a lawyer, have entertained I
shall spare mo pains to discharge its duties
| faithfully and efficiently, and if the COM
| munity, which seems to have confidence in
| my integrity of purpose, will also try to
have confidence in my judgment until have
| done something to forfeit it, shall be great
ly encouraged and helped. So far as there
is room for the exercise Of discretion in the
attitude of the police department toward
| local questions that attitude during the next
few months will be determined by the acting
mayor, but the main duties of the police are
| recognized to be- the protection Of life and
property and the preservation Of the public
| peace, in which no questions of "polcy' are
| involved, and these will not be subordinated
| to anything else.
| A Place for Doyle.
| While no announcement to that effect
has as yet been made, it is understood
that to Former Chief of Police James G.
Doyle will be offered a position at po-
| lice Headquarters in a close relation to
the new head of the department. Whether
the position to be created will be that of
assistant superintendent or nominally
that of captain with more clearly pre-
scribed duties is question yet to be de-
termined. Mr.. Doyle has already been
sounded and while he has given no pos
tive reply it is reported that he will re-
enter the department.

Portage, Wis, Aug. 9.-Rev. Father
Cosgrove of Ripon spent yesterday, under
the guidance of Thomas Clithero of this
city, comparing ancient maps and docu-
ments with the historical Indian townsites
near Port Hope, in this county, which
Mr.. Clithero has been for years inves-

Father Cosgrove on his return to Ripon
will report to Bishop Messmer of Green
Bay that the long looked for Mascoutens,
the \largest and most celebrated city in
Indian history and the site of the mission
of St. James, has been discovered near
Governors Bend, on the Fox river.
The city is reported in 1875 to have had
10000 inhabitants. 1t was heard from as
early as 1915, was visited by Nicollet in
1884 and by Radisson and Grosellier in
1869. 1t is minutely described by Dablon
in 1910 and by Marquette on his voyage
of discovery with Joliet in 1873
Every descriptive sentence in the an
cient documents referred to has now been
verified and several other forts and vii
lage sites have been discovered incident

The wheat acreage has been greatly cut
down. But the yield per acre will be
much larger than last year and will be
an offset. >~i
The party found conditions materially
changed. The country on the whole
shows the first marked indications of
the strong tendency toward diversified
tion. -
No attempt was made to estimate the
yields of coarse grains, but it was the
unanimous opinion that the northwest
has raised the greatest crops in its his
tory in flax, barley, corn and oats. The
flax men Of the party agreed that 3d.

the total fax yield. Fl ..-.-
P. B. Smith says the general showing is
as fine as ever seen and bears out all
| the favorable reports but the greater
! Importance of the coarse grains this year
must hot be overlooked. In barley Mr..
Smith says the showing is especially
good, and the party were surprised at the
quality of corn which was in excellent
condition everywhere. $s=--. ~. - -
! The yield of wheat per acre will be
larger this year than last. All sorts Of
yields are shown, with occasional phe-
nomenal spots running to twenty-five and
thirty-five~ bushels per acre. Fields that
will yield Is, 16, II, or 18 bushels per
whole the average will be materially
higher than last year. This will be an
important offset in places where the
acreage is lessened by planting corn or
barley. t
James S. Bell, president Of the Wash
burn Crosby company, gave a conserva-
tive review of the inspection this morn
ing. making allowance for all the new
! factors. Mr.. Bell said:
The natural increase in wheat acreage
. which we count upon every year, has this
year gone to flax. The usual acreage o
wheat has also been decreased by large in
crease in the acreages Of barley and oats
l Farmers are more inclined to diversity ant
| have planted more corn and small grains
But i. now looks as If the yield per acre
will be increased sufficiently to cover an,
shortage. Minnesota, under continuance o

should have 7o,OOo,ooo bushels, and soutl
