Iowa.

The President presented his compliments
yesterday to the state of Iowa, and no one
will deny that they were well deserved
Ohio for some years held the center of the
stage, with sons in high national office or
seeking office, and making good returns for
their preferment. New York likewise has
had an inning of that kind. while Indiana
though in lesser degree, has figured in the
same relation. Now it is Iowa, and no ad-
mirer of the Hawkeye commonwealth is
without reason to be proud of her very re-
cent and present record as the producer OF
sons of merit. Dropping into the vernacu-
lar, ''she is In town by large majority,
and those who are holding her commissions
are as tall as any of their associates.
Mr. Shaw succeeded to the cares of the
Treasury Department when its business 1t
is true was in good shape and the country
highly prosperous. But he has had, never
theless problems of difficulty and import
ance to solve, and has solved them salts
factorily Mr. Wilson, it is generally
agreed has administered the affairs of his
department with marked success. The in
terests of agriculture were never so great
as now and in the governments relations

Agricultural Department have been capt.
tally illustrated
If we turn to Congress we find Iowa very
prominent in both houses. Mr.. Allison is
easily one of the most influential men in
the Senate. and Mr.. Dolliver is one of the
most attractive of the orators of that body.
In the House there is no speaker superior
to Mr.. Cousins, nor are there men of greater
usefulness in the transaction of important
business than Mr.. Hepburn and Mr.. Lacey,
and Mr. Hull The debates and the COM
mittee work of the popular branch of Con-
gress shows Iowa as in the front rank.
At home Gov. Cummins, besides giving
the people a good administration of their
affairs. has attracted national attention by
the frankness and clearness of his deliver
ances on national questions. and is most
respectfully mentioned in the speculation
about the second place on his party's next
national ticket He is undoubtedly strong

In returning the answer that she is all
right.

Mr.. Hanna.

The republican meeting at Columbus to-
day is described as ''Hanna's convention"
By this is meant of course that Mr.. Hanna
will be Endorsed for second term in the
Senate. He deserves the tribute, and pre-
sumably 1t will be offered with the utmost
heartiness. He Is a useful man to his
party and to the country, and his retire
ment for any cause would be a public loss.
He has been blessed with many fool enc
mics and cursed with some fool friends,
but has made his way to the front with
Skill and is to be reckoned with in all large
political affairs. Endorsement at Columbus
probably means election. At any rate the

DENIES GUILT
BUT is GLAD

Geneva, June 12.-Prince Kara
georgevitch has been living here since
1891. Through a Russian consul, an
intimate friend, he made a statement
to the Associated Press, declaring his
innocence of any knowledge of the Bel
grade tragedy. He said that through
his grandfather he undoubtedly had
the best right to the Servian throne
and intended taking it if possible for
the sake of his son, but he expected to
meet with great difficulties and hoped
for assistance from Austria"
He also said he did not know when
ne would start for Belgrade. From
other sources it is learned the prince
will leave secretly Friday morning for
Vienna, whence he will proceed to Bel
grade. is said the prince received an
enormous number of kilograms for the
week past, many of them from the
frontier of Servia. Russian money was
undoubtedly used in the revolution
which, according to general belief,
was planned here.
The prince usually visited Vienna

STORMY LIFE
FROM FANCY

Belgrade. June 12-FrOm his
earliest infancy King Alexander's life
was a stormy one. When he was a
baby Alexander was alternately kid
naDed by his wicked father and beau
tifuI mother. At IA he was accus-
toned to throw grown men out of the
window. At IL he personally kicked
his regents out of the palace and
took the government into his own
hands.
At 10 he was wTecking homes. At
p he was drinking himself to death
At "a he fOrsOOk alcohol and devoted
himself TO romance.
There were many reasons why King
Alexander should have married at the
time he did. but there were also many
reasons why he should not have
married Draga Mashin. He was but
boy. while she was a widow of nearly
40 The Servian throne at this time
was insecure. Nine. MasChin was not
a queen who could give stability. She
was not of high birth and had many
enemies. Many high families felt
offended because she was raised above
them. A foreign wife of royal birth
was considered necessary to the peace
of Servia.

NEW EPOCH
I'M SERVIA'S
HISTORY

Belgrade, June 1.-THE tragedy
marks an epoch on the Servian
throne. the close of a long series of
escapades on the part of an upstart Of
a king that have shocked the entire
world.
From his earliest lOve-making King
Alexander had furnished to the world
a court career that never had a cOun-
terpart in European royalty, and that
has had few if any equals in fiction.
His subjects were alternately shocked
ana grieved and his dethrOnement
was many times threatened. Every
move he has made was followed by
wild sensations. His marriage to
Madam Draga Mascnin astOnished
Europe and threw his country into
commissions. The whole episode of
his courtship and marriage was more
like a romance of the middle ages than
of this prosaic modern world. 1t was
a Prisoner of Zenda story in real life

now it is fulfilled. Queen Draga's I'M

for the tragedy. Owing to the family

COMES OF
REBEL LINE

Belgrade. Servia, June 1.-THE new
ly proclaimed king. Prince Peter Kar-
ageOrgevitch, long known as Peter the
Pretender, comes from a family of
noted revClutionists.
His ancestors were swine dealers
and the family had no political import
ance prior to 1904. They became
prominent in a revolt against the
Turkish masters OF Servia i'm that
year and maintained an ineffective re
sistance for ten years.
In 1920 the Karageorgevitch family
aided Milosh Obrenovitch in another
uprising. which proved successful.
Obrenovitch made peace with the
sultan, and as a reward was recog-
nized as the hereditary ruler of Ser
via. Thus he founded the house from
which Alexander was descended.

The surviving ministers have been

King Alexander was shot through
the neck at the first fire and the rush
of blood suffocated him.

Queen Draga received several shots
and after she was dead the regicides
slashed her body with their swords
and thrust it through and through.
The rugs in the royal chamber were
soaked with blood, which flowed over
the floors. Window hangings were
torn down and trampled under foot,
windows were broken and objects of
art were shattered in wanton destruc-
