Iowa City. April 14.-County At

been ordered by the board of super

eN-Treasurer Dennis Maher to recover
$1,000. which expert accountants have
found to be due to the county from the
former treasurer. This suit Is the last
of the troubles in the treasurers office
growing out of the sudden discovery
last year by Treasurer Cherry Of a
shortage of 100000 in his books. He
at once made the amount good out of
his own pocket, tho neither himself
nor the expert accountants could ac-
count for the manner In which the
shortage arose. Investigations of the
books in this matter disclosed the fact,
according to the expert accountants,
that there was a shortage in the books
of Treasurer Cherrys predecessor,
Dennis Maher. Mr.. Maher, it is under
stood. will deny the existence of
shortage and the matter will be de-
termined by the courts.
The supervisors have also voted to
go after shortage reported by the ex-
perts in former Clerk Hotz' books. Mr..
Hotz is now dead.

firemen refuse to handle engines on the
round house tracks. The strikers are
encouraged by the report that the en-
tire shop force of the Central at Burn
side, Ill.,, will strike soon.
Those influenced by the strike are
practically all who are employed in the

ers are fling applications for member

the strike is long continued.
The men made their demands some
time ago. and April / was set as the day
for settlement, but the time was post
poned on account of Master Mechanic
Place being in Chicago, comforting with
the Central officials. When he returned
the employees were told that the COM
pany asked more time to deliberate.
This request the men granted, giving

swer. The union men then wired the
headquarters of their organization. ask
ing information. They were advised to
keep on working few days longer, in
hopes that the Illinois Central officials
would grant their demands. They did
as they were advised, but as Mr.. Place
had not notified them of any increase,
it was thought that the officials at Chi
cago We're opposed to their demands.
They then wired again. and were mott
fed that a strike was the best course to
pursue. Consequently 22O men quit
work.
1t is understood the workmen have
very strong backing. all the skilled la
borers sympathizing with the strikers.
The round house is practically deserted,
the foremen only being present. This
binders the train service to some ex-
tent, as there is not sufficient force to
care for the engines.
The wages paid the unskilled labor
ers was from IL to II cents per hour,
and that of carpenters was Is to 81
cents. One of the reasons the demand
for higher wages was made was on ac-
count of the increased price of food
stuffs and other necessaries OF life.
They state that they also have other
reasons for striking.
