growers Association and its meet ing, under date of July Sd:
 ''It is ordered that in future, as in the past, all shipments of sheep, in common with other livestock, are subject to inspection, as re- quired in Par. 3OO1, R. s. A., 1901, and that the inspector making such inspection shall, before giving a. certificate of the same to the per son for whom the inspection g made, and before delivering the shipment permit to the transporta- tion company Cor it's agent), collect from the person in charge of such stock the sum of three-fourths of a cent per head for all such sheep or goats so inspected. This rule will have no bearing in the matter of payments they have already made under the previous order of the board, as that order remains in full force and effect until these instrue- tions are in the hands of the in- spector."
 This week a delegation of sheep men from the Arizona Wool Grow ers' Association, accompanied by 3 representative of the livestock sani- tary board, called upon Attorney General E. w. Wells at Phoenix and that gentleman gave it as his opinion that the ruling of the board with regard to the collection of even I three-fourths of a cent tax for in spection was illegal. There is little doubt now but that hereafter no charge of this kind will be made.

WILL NOT BROOK
INTERFERENCE
Russia Will Not Allow Outside
MeddIing in Relation to
the KiShenev Affair.
HOPES WE WILL RECONSIDER
Admits the Sincerity of this Govern
ment's Decision, and Will Return
the Petition to Mr.. Riddle With
No III Will.

Washington. June 27.-The Rus
sian government has learned with pro-
found regret of the intention of the
Washington authorities to forward to
st. Petersburg a petition from Ameri-
can Jews relative to Russia's treat
ment of her Jewish subjects. 1t is
yet hoped that the United States will
appreciate the Russian view of the
case and will content itself with the
kindly expressions of sympathy which
it already has offered for the affair
at Kishenev. The Associated Press
already has stated the Russian posi-
ton regarding what is considered out
side interference in the internal af-
fairs of Russia.
That position continues to be held
and the Associated Press is further
permitted to say that Mr.. Riddle, the
American charge, When he presents
the petition at the Russian foreign
office, will be received with the same
cordially always accorded an Ameri-
can envoy. In returning the petition
to Mr.. Riddle. the officials will assure
him that Russia cherishes no i'll will
toward the United States and that the
action it takes with respect to the
petition is necessary in view of Rus
sia's unalterable policy g refraining
from interfering in the internal affairs
of other powers and insisting on sim
liar treatment for itself. The Rus
sian government hopes it's firmness
in the matter will not be misunder-
stood, but in view of the announce
ment of it's position weeks ago, is sur
prised at the developments which will
force a reiteration of it's views. Mr..
Riddle, it can be stated, will be sub
jected to no personal embarrassment
in presenting the petition and he will
be given to understand that the St.
Petersburg authorities appreciate the
fact that he is only carrying out his
orders. Should the presentation of
the petition be deferred until the re-
turn to st. Petersburg Of Mr.. McCor-
mick, the American ambassador to
Russia, the same programme will OBJ
tain, unless, in the meantime, the
Russian government is made aware
of extenuating circumstances which
put the matter in different light.
Indeed, it is declared Russia will be
glad to do anything possible to relieve
the tension in the United States, but
feels unable to sacrifice a principle
which it has followed hitherto, and
the American support of which it has
warmly endorsed.
The Russian government readily ad-
mits the sincerity of the American
governments decision and declines
to listen to reports that the forward
ing of the petition has any Interior
significance or is in any way associat-
ed with any other matters.

PAYNE WILL NOT RESIGN.

Washington, June 27-The cabinet
meeting yesterday was devoted
chiefly to the clearing up Of parlia'
mental matters in anticipation of the
presidents departure, although Post.
master General Payne occupied con-
siderable time not only in presenting
the current situation as developed by
the investigation now in progress in
postofiice matters. but in discussing
his future plans relative to the inves-
tigation.
In this connection 1t can be stated
authoritatively that the reports that
Postmaster General Payne contem-
plates retiring from the cabinet are
untrue. 1t is well known that his
health is not good and there is, OF
course, possibility that he might
suffer complete break down or that
he might be forced by the imperative
orders of his physician to give up
his work. But at this time the idea
of retirement is not entertained by
him. He has plated out his future
work in connection with the investi.
CATION of his department and is
anxious to finish it. The president,
il is said, has given expression to his
own feelings in the matter, by saying
that he would permit him to resign
only in the event that 1t became
matter of life and death.

School Contest,

Des Moines, June 29.-Every year
prize is offered by the Iowa Society
Of the Colonial Danes of America, for
the best essay on early Iowa history
written by an undergraduate of an
Iowa college or university. And every
year the president of the society offers

efforts next year is increased to fifty
dollars.
This year the college prize has been
awarded to the essay entitled THE

Grinnell, and the high school prize
goes to Miss Emma Suffer of the
junior class of the Davenport High
school for her essay, Iowa Indians. "
The essay of Miss Suffer on the

will meet with at the hands of the
Russian government. | am, sir, faith
fully yours, John Hay"
Upon learning that the government
of the United States had decided to
forward the petition to the Russian
government, Count Cassini went to
the state department and consulted
with Secretary Hay.
The call of the ambassador upon
Secretary Hay was shorter than usual,
but it developed officially the fact
that the government of the United
States intended to forward the Jewish
petition to the car if it is possible
to do so. At the White house confer
ence on the 18th instant the Jews
had made the point that the car was
kept from a knowledge of the truth
as to the condition of the Jews in his
empire by the bureaucrats who
hedged him about on all sides, and
they were sure that if the president
would only assist them in laying their
case before the car himself, he would
at once adopt measures to alleviate
their condition. The president at that
hearing promised to do what he could.
1t was at once perceived that to do
what was asked involved the danger
of short reply, and a disposition
developed to regard the full publicity
which had been given to the White
house conference as sufficient to meet
the needs of the case, for it was as
sumed that the cZar could not fail to
see some of the newspaper comments
and reports upon this subject. The
Jews however, were not satisfied with
this passive attitude, and the presi-
dent decided to adopt the bold course
of sending their petition directly to
the car through the United States
embassy at st. Petersburg. Officially,
it is expected that this will be receiv
ed, but privately it may be stated
that the car will never be permitted
to see the petition, as the Russian
prime minister will not receive it for
transmission. In fact, it is realized
that the Russian position is still cor
rectly described in the statement tele-
.graphed from Washington on June
9th by the Associated Press, from
which this extract is taken.
Nor will it be possible for Russia
to receive any representations regard
ing the Kishenev incident from a for
eign power The Russian government
takes the same position as that long
held by the American government,
namely, that it refrains from inter-
ference in the internal affairs of an
other power, and must insist on sim
liar treatment for itself.

GOES TO OHIO UNIVERSITY.
Prof. Price of State College Called to
Deanship In East.

Ames, June 29.-Prof. Fl. G.. Price,
professor of horticulture and forestry,
will tender his resignation to the
board of trustees of the Iowa State
college at their coming meeting. This
is not altogether a surprise to Profess
sor Prices friends, though it is to the
public. For some months considerable
pressure has been brought to bear up
on Professor Price to get his consent
to accept the Ohio State University,
and to this he has at last consented,
though loath to leave the locality
where his reputation as a horticulture
ist has grown from the time of his
coming to Ames. Professor Prices
title in his new field will be that of

coNGER SENDS RICH GIFT
Scrolls Made by Emperor and EN-
press Dowaeer Sent to Iowa.

press Dowaser Sent to Iowa.
Des Moines, June 29.-Through the
efforts of Minister E. H. Conger, the
state historical department is the
richer by one of the most remarkable
contributions that has ever been
added to the museum. 1t consists OF
four large scrolls, one containing in
scriptions by the emperor of China
and three containing paintings and
inscriptions by the dowager empress.
The scrolls were produced by these
distinguished royal personages espec-
tally for the Iowa historical depart
ment, at Minister Conger's request.
Some time ago, Curator Aldrich
sent to Minister Conger, asking him
to obtain the autographs Of the en-
peror and dowager empress. Minis
ter Conger has always evinced a
deep interest in the Iowa historical
collection ard Las made it some valu-
able contributions to obtain their
autographs. as they never sign their
names, using seals instead. But he
was enabled to obtain the scrolls,
which are much more valuable. Each
scroll is about four feet long and two
wide, consisting of fine cloth reseul-
bling linen and mounted in the rich
est sort of fashion on large rectang-
les of fine cloth-like paper, about eight
feet long and three wide. Bordering
each scroll is rich black and gold
cloth. The scrolls are rolled up as a
mounted map would be, the rollers
at each end being tipped with finely
carved ivory or rich porcelain.
Curator Aldrich is greatly pleased
over receiving the scrolls, which came
packed in a rosewood box, carved all
over with fine Chinese carvings, many
of the figures being those of dragons.
The box alone is remarkably valu-
able specimen and Mr.. Aldrich prizes
it highly He proposes to have the
scrolls placed on exhibition in glass
covered cases. In speaking of the
contribution to the department, he
said Minister Conger could not be
commended too highly for the efforts
he had made to add this unique Of
fering. Probably no similar gift has
! ever reached this country. and 1t is
regarded as Indicative Of the good
feeling entertained toward the Ameri'
can minister that the emperor and
dowager empress should have consent
| to prepare these scrolls for him with
| their own hands.

CONGRESSMAN INDICTED

New York, June 26.-Former Con-
gresham briggs was indicted by the
federal grand jury in Brooklyn. He
appeared before Judge Thomas and
gave bail. The Indictment grew out
of the investigation into postoffice af.
fairs made by the grand jury.
Four indictments were found all
practically alike. Each charges that
briggs between July 20 and "a, 19Ov,
unlawfully agreed to receive and did
receive a $500 check from the Brandt.
Dent company for procuring con-
tract from the United States govern
ment for making and delivering 250
automatic cashiers for the postoftice
department.
To the first two indictments Mr..
briggs plead not guilty, reserving the
right to plead later to the others,
which contain sixteen counts each,
after his lawyer had read them.
Mr. briggs refused absolutely to
comment on his indictment. He has
previously admitted however, receiv.
ing salary of $12,500 from the
fraudulent company for introduc.
ing the machines, but claimed that the
work was done before he w0, sworn
in as congressman, but after his cleo.
ton, and declared that he had done
nothing to which the government
could object.
The indictments were found under
sections III and 172 Of the revised
statutes OF the United States, which
provide for the punishment OF any
person receiving emolument while in
the employ of the government.

jury today preceding the finding of

The injured are at Mercy hospital,
where they are being cared for. Late
last evening DR.. Van Werden, who
was caring for them, stated that they
were getting along as well as could
be expected. and that unless com.
plications should arise they would all
recover without any permanent in
jury. .
The wreck appears to have been
caused by the negligence of the train
crew of No. 81. The officials refused
to discuss the cause, stating that they
would not express themselves until
after the investigation. At the Offices
it was learned that No. SO was run
ming about thirty minutes late, as
was No. 81. No orders were issued
to No. SO, wing to the understand
ing that they were to remain in the
yards until the arrival of No. 81. Be-
ing late, they appear to have taken
1t for granted that No. 62 was in on
time and pulled out, OILY to discover
their error when it was too late. The
trains met en- reverse curve, both
running at high rate of speed. The
engineers, owing to the curve, were
unable to detect the approach of the
other, so that they were not even
allowed time to jump clear of the
wreckage before the collision.
The condition of the two men who
met almost instant death was hOrri-
BILE when found. Erickson, as near as
can be judged, attempted to jump
through the front window of his cab
after reversing the engine. He was
caught by the cab, being crushed

RUSSIA FEEL REBUkE
President Will Forward Resolutions
To The Gar,

Washington, June 26.-The presi-
dent has decided to transmit to the
Russian government the petition pre-
sented to him by the executive coun-
ell of the B'nai Birth regarding the
treatment of Jews in Russia.
This action has been taken after
mature consideration. At first it was
decided that the petition should not
be presented because it might be re-
sented by the Russian government
and lead to a response that will cause
a break in the relations of the two
countries. However, the first con-
clusion has been reconsidered and by
direction of the president the petit
ton will now go forward. What the
result will be is problematical. AS
indicated in the following note from
Secretary Hay to Simon Wolf, the pre-
sertation will probably be made to
the Russian government through the
United States charge at st. Peters
burg The note reads:
Department of state, Washington,
June "a:
Dear sir: The president has con-
cluded to transmit to the Russian gov
eminent the petition of which you
presented him draft on the 18th of
this month. The matter which he
had to consider most seriously was
whether or not such proceeding
would be to the advantage of your
prosecuted and outraged co-"eligion'
lists in Russia. On this poiIt he has
decided to accept your opiuion and
that of the newspapers and intelligent
group of American citizens OF the
Jewish faith whom you represent.
He requests that you will send him
the petition in due form at your ear
liest convenience. or course you will
understand that the president cannot
tell you what reception your petition

HAPPENINGS IN
HAWKEYEDOM
What Has Been Going on
During the Past
Week.
HIS SKULL WAS CRUSHED
Alteration at the Des Moines Car
nival Results in Injuries to Harry
Loman Which May Result in His
Death.

Des Moines, June 27.-Arthur Pool
struck Harry Loman over the head
with base ball bat or a golf stick
last night at 10 O'clock and Loman's
skull was fractured. He was taken to
Mercy hospital and may live, and
Pool was lodged in Jail.
The affair took place at the south
east corner of the Auditorium in the
Industrial street of the carnival.
Probably 1000 people saw the blow
struck, or heard it. Loman was
quickly removed to the Purity Candy
booth just south of where he fell and
City Physician Smith summoned.
The stories of the trouble agree,
substantially Pool has been in the
city about six weeks, coming from
Rock Island. He has been working
for Hopkins-Sears during that time
and during this week has been imper-
sonating a clown, circulating about
the crowds in the streets and advertis-
ing the sporting goods house in this
way. Last night he was on the car
nival grounds, whittier Loman and a
party of friends had gone for the
evening.
Loman and his friends were stand
ing at the southeast corner of the
Auditorium about 10 o'clock when
their attention was called to Pool,
who was playing with couple of
small boys. Either he ran against
Loman with one of them or Loman
objected to his treatment of them, for
an alteration ensued Thereupon,
Pool ran to the Hopkins-Sear booth,
about 100 feet to the west of the
place where Loman was standing,
and returned with a club in his hand,
with which he struck Loman over the
head Loman fell in his tracks and
Pool ran. He was soon arrested and
placed in Jail.
