THE NEW EXAMINER
S. T. Johnson Succeeds Gen. Pope
in That Office.
TWO NEW APPOINTMENTS MADE
For the Most Part the Staff of Gen.
eral Pope Is Re-
tanned.

Samuel T. Johnson Of Minneapolis took
office this morning as public examiner,
and announced the following staff:
Deputy public examiner, Henry c. Koerner,
Shakopee. -.--.
Assistant public examiner, Stanley H. Be-
zoier, Minneapolis.
Assistant examiner, Peter M. Kerst, St..
Paul. f-'-
Second assistant bank examiner, Peter A.
Gunders, Mankato. ..-
Statistical clerk, Alma c. Hartman, Man
kate. .... ..
Stenographer. Lillian c. Heskamp, Bloom
ing Prairie.
The announcement is in line with pre-
dictions made by T h our a II that
appointments would be made for merit
and in the interests of the service, not
on political grounds. Mr.. Bezoier and
Miss Heskamp are the only new employees,
the rest being retained from General
Popes staff. Their retention gives gen
eraI satisfaction.
The force is less than maintained by
General Pope, who had seven employees
and part of the time eight. Mr.. Johnson
was asked the reason for thus curtailine
the force. He said: a
1t is not because we do not need them, but
because We will not have money enough tc
pay more. The contingent fund is practically
exhausted, and unless we are given relief by
the legislature, some Of the force have re-
tanned must be cut off. 1t is not through any
fault of my predecessor, but the fees Of the
Office are not en- ough to maintain 1t. My rela.
tons with General Pope have been mos
friendly, and he has been of great service tt
me in getting started. .-.-..--

NUTTING IS DEAD
Injuries inflicted With Suicidal In
tent Proved Fatal To-day.

David B. Nutting, who cut his throat
and stabbed himself and then set fire to
his bed at the Parker Hotel, on Fourth
street S, Thursday night, died at the city
hospital this morning. Dependency is
supposed to have been the reason for his
desire to end his life. When he made the
att e1npt the police were : called and
Nutting was taken to the city hospital. He
was very weak from loss of blood, and it
was feared that he would not recover.
Sunday night he became delirious, broke
from the attendants, and tried to throw
himself from the second story window. He
expressed regret that his efforts to end
his life had been unsuccessful, and wanted
to complete the work. He grew weaker
last night and died at $50 this morning
in fit of delirium.
:Nutting was Al. He was bartender by
trade, but twelve years ago was con-
ductor on the Union Pacific in Nebraska,
and member of the o. re. About four
months ago he came to Minneapolis from
Sioux City. He was addict ed to morphine
and, being unable to keep any of the posi-
lions offered him. he became Respondent.
He is survived by daughter Of IA, who
lives with relatives at Woodville, N. H.
A telegram was received from w. S. Nut
ting, brother at Woodsville, this morn
Ing, and the remains will be returned to
that place this evening.

o'clock. Oliver w. Stewart, chairman of
the national committee, will be the chief

said:
Aside from ''the feed'' and toasts on few
subjects related to the reform, general re-
port of the work of the past year is submit
ted, and the campaign fund for the ensuing
year is opened. AT the banquet last year
there were few less than 100 in attendance,
and the amount pledged was $1,S0O. The total
receipts of the committee for the year from
all sources exceeded 1000. The present in
dications are that we will have 125 guests
Wednesday night, and probably aggregate
Of $4,000 will be pledged. Ten people are en-
gagged in field work this year, whereas four
years ago we had but one. We are arranging
for four more to begin May 1.

THEORY AS TO PLATO
DR.. Logan's Essay to Be Published
In England.

DR.. Logan's Essay to BE Published
In England.
Special to The Journal.
Vermillion, S.. D., Jan. 7.-Students of
literary criticism and philosophy will be
interested to learn that new theory
about Plato has appeared. The theory
was stated in an essay read before the
joint meeting of the American Psyche
logical association and the Western
Philosophical association, held at Chi
cago University last week, by DR.. J. d.
Logan, professor of philosophy and Eng
lish at the university Of South Dakota
All critics of literature and students of
philosophy have valued Plato for the
prosepoetry and lofty ideals expressed in
his works. They have called him the
greatest metaphysicfan, while regarding
his pupil Aristotle, as the greatest logi-
clan. But DR.. Logan in his essay entitled
"Plato's Literary Art as a method of
Philosophy reversed the old opinion and
showed that all the poetry and idealism
of Plato was really an ttartifice,'' for hid
ing from the world that he was an ag-
nostic; and that further, Plato and not
Aristotle, was the first logician. Plato,
in short was SO much a poet, and SO lit
tie a philosopher that he could not ap-
ply his method to science, and SO came
to express hts instructive beliefs in prose
poetry-which is but mode of agnostic-
ism. Critics have described the theory
as highly original and luminous" The
essay will be published in England.

WARNING UNHEEDED
Charged by Lookout CT the Wrecked
Walla Walla.
SOME SURVIVORS ARE DENOUNCED
CAPTAIN Of a Rescuing Steamer Calls
Crew Of the Walla Wal1a
towards.

San Francisco. Jan. THE Examiner
says, on authority Of Deputy Coroner
Skinner, Of Humbolt county, that y.
johnson, one of the lookouts of the
steamer Walla Walla, told strange
story, under oath. at Eureka regarding
the cause of the collision. According to
the coroner, who took the dispositions OF
Captain Hall and others Of the officers
and crew Of the Walla Walla, after the
accident Johnson testified that he saw
the lights of the French bark many min
utes before her PROV sank into the Walla
wallas hull; that twice he warned the
officer on the bridge Of the approaching
danger, but his warnings were not needed
AS the vessels neared each other, the red
and green lights of the bark became more
ani-more distinct. At last the lookout,
alarmed at the failure Of the officer on
the bridge to change his course, started
for the cabin of the first officer, Peter Nil
sen, but before ne reached the cabin the
vessels struck, and the Max drtfted away
with her lights plainly visible. The as
sertions are contradicted by the positive
b statements of the steamers officers. who
declare that sharp lookout was kept.

oLMsTED's ATTACK ON Y. NJ. C. A.
His Brother Is President of State Or
EanizatiOn-Inspec Gen.
erals Report.
Special to The Journal

Des Moines, Iowa, Jan. 1.-THE recent
attack of Colonel J. A. Olmsted, inspec-
tor general Of the state, on the Y. M. G.
A. at National Guard encampments has
stirred up much feeling. Everywhere
prominent members of the organization are
denouncing his views as incorrect and
are citing official reports as to the good
done during the Spanish-American war to
refute Colonel Olmsted's statements.
A peculiar coincidence in this affair is
that Colonel Olmsteds brother, J. G.
Olmsted of Des Moines, is an ardent Y.
M. G. A. man and is the president Of the
state association. He is also a member
Of the local board Of directors and one OF
the largest contributors to the Y. M. c. A.
work in the city.
Some time ago Colonel Olmsted an
nounced to his brother his intention to
oppose the Y. NJ. c. A. in his report. A
conference was arranged with Governor
Shaw and Adjutant General Byers. The
latter both Endorsed the Y. NJ. c.. A. Colo
mel Olmsted said he would do so, provid-
ing those at the conference would sane
tion control of Y. M. G. A. tents and Y.
NJ C. A. work in camps by the command
ing officers. This was not countenanced
by the conference, and Colonel Olmsted
then said he could not 1ndorse the asso-
Citations presence in camp at all unless
under such restrictions as he desired.

DES MONIES ARMY P0STCAUSES MUCH FEELING
OBSTACLES PROBABLY REMOVED
Council Overrides the Mayor and
Votes $4,000 for the Ex-
tension Of Mains.
Special to The journal.

Special to The Journal.
Des Moines, Iowa, Jan. What is re-
garded as the last obstacle to the con-
struction Of the army post here was re-
moved to-day when the council passed
over the veto of Mayor Hartenbower a
resolution loaning 1000 to the Des
Moines Water Works company. The war
department would not consent to build
the post unless assured Of an adequate
water supply.
The reservation is located three miles
south of the city and the water company
would not consent to run its mains to
the reservation and could not be COM
PEELED to extend them beyond the corpora
ton limits. The directors, however, Of
fered to compromise the matter if the
loan of $4,000 was made to cover the out
lay in building additional mains and CIV
ing increased service until such time as
the revenues should reimburse it.
Mayor Hartenbower opposed the loan as
an attempt to hold up the city and as
Illegal. His veto was overridden by eight
of the nine members of the council. There
is much sentiment in support of Mayor
Hartenbower's veto among the taXpay-
ers, and the loan will be an issue in the
coming municipal campaign.

Captain Denounces Survivors of the
Disaster.

captain OenOunCeS SufVAVOrS VI the
Disaster.
Seattle, Jan. THE steamer Dispatch,
which picked up the survivors of the
Walla Walla disaster, arrived in port
yesterday, and Captain Victor Johnson
gave vivid account of the work of res
cue. He expressed strong Indignation at
the actions of some of the Walla Walla's
crew. He said:
We sailed from San Francisco New Years
Day and were passed that afternoon by the
Walle Walla. l thought nothing more about
her until o'clock the morning of JAM 2,
when we picked up life boat containing
three fremen. These men-I suppose I will
have to designate them as men-told me the
Walla Walla had sunk and that no one save
themselves was left to tell the tale. At arst
was inclined to discredit them. They stuck
to their story so I had to believe them Then
it dawned on me what they had Demonstrated
away like towards, three sailors in strong
boat, capable of carrying many, and left help
less women and men to drown. Within a
short time we came upon another boat and
another until We had found four boats and
four life RATS all told. We cruised around,
picking up people here, there and everywhere.
Some were hauled aboard unconscious; others
were practically nude and many had borne
up with remarkable strength and vitality.
We had to haEdle them roughly getting them
aboard.

NEW CONTROLLER
Alderman Chase Appointed to Sue
coed John II. Wolf.

Special to The Journal.
Milwaukee, Jan. 7.-Alderman George
III. Chase was appointed controller last
night to succeed John R. Wolf.
Mayor Rose did not learn until late
hour that Former Governor Peck would
not accept the tender Of the Office, but he
Immediately stated that Milwaukee should
not be without controller to-day and 50
named Mr.. Chase as his choice. The ac-
ceptance Of Mr.. Chase was subsequently
received by the mayor.
AT special meeting of the common
council to-day, the appointment of George
H. Chase as city controller was confirmed
26 to g. The vacancy was created by the
commitment of Controller John R. Wolf
to the county insane hospital. The legal
ity of the proceeding Is questioned, as the
city charter does not make any provision
for filling such vacancy by appointment.
The council refused to call special cleo
tion and the action to-day was one OF
emergency and is considered the best way
out of the tangle.
