stranger added. ''yousWould think 1t was a

No Representative of the Book binders

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In your issue of the 23d there appeared
the information that IA committee repre-
senting labor men called upon the President
In behalf Of Mr.. Farquhar." Please correct
that part of the statement that relates to
Mr.. H. F. Ashton as representing the
Brotherhood of Bookbinders. The Brother
hood of Bookbinders had no representative
on that committee, and the local union OF
bookbinders gave no authority to any one
to represent them in favoring the candidacy
of any one for the position of assistant
secretary of commerce. Our organization
never has in the history Of Its existence
authorized any person or persons acting as
a committee to seek the personal advance
ment Of any one. and we regret that its
name has been connected with such COM

DISCHARGE IS DENIED.

Gregory's $500 Went.

Judqe Shiras Wants to Know Where
Gregory's $500 Went.
DUBUQUE, Jan. 1-For the second
time since the bankruptcy law has been
IN effect Judge O. P. Shiras, of the
United States court, has refused to
grant discharge in bankruptcy. This
time the person in question is Herman
Gregory, of Spencer, Iowa. The cause
OF the failure of the judge to grant the
discharge is the mysterious disappear
ance of $500 belonging to the applicant.
Mr.. Gregory is a dairylnan at Spencer
and conducts several creameries. Re-
Gently he filed petition in bankruptcy
with his liabilities amounting to several
thousand dollars and his assets nothing.
In considering the case presented to
him by the referee the judge found thar
$500 had been collected by Mr.. Gregory
shortly before filing the petition in
bankruptcy, and which he alleges he
lost while in Chicago attending a thea
ter. Following out this the applicant
was asked in what opera house the
money disappeared, what the name of
the performance and other questions of
& similar nature. Judge Shiras thinks
the disappearance of this sum in such
manner has a significance attached to
1t and accordingly refuses to grant the
discharge. He has ordered the books,
papers, ETC., sent in from Spencer to be
If Mr. Gregory can account
for the disappearance Of the $500 in a
more specific manner it is not improb-
able that the petition for the discharge
will be reconSidered.

This line will be so far east of the rlv-
er's present channel that 1T Will leave
between one and two square miles or
Nebraska territory on the east or Iowa
side of the river. Such condition is
bad one, as shown last summer when
the man wanted by the Iowa officers
escaped them because on this Nebraska
soil.
.'As l understand II, the plan Will be
to give Iowa this strip in exchange for
the East Omaha section of one square
mile which is now held to be Iowa land.
altho on the Nebraska side of the river.
This latter complication is but another
result OF the rivers habit of shifting
positions. The surveys of January,
1876 July, 1876, and January, 1877, re-
corded on a map in the city engineers
office. show how the stream kept mar
rowing the neck of the Iowa peninsula
that jutted into Nebraska until on Oct.
ID, 1877, in less than twenty-four hours,
it cut across that neck, one-half mile
wide, and took the straighter course.
leaving the Iowa peninsula on the Ne
braska side, with Cut Off Lake partly
surrounding it in the rivers old bed.
"Thus, If Nebraska and Iowa can
make the swap, each will get territory
on it's own side of the river and Iowa is
agreeable, I understand Our county
commissioners are also willing and l
believe 1T is intended to have a bill in
troduced at the coming legislature.
Whether an act of congress also will be
necessary I do not know"
