Washington, March 10.-Governor Cum
minis of Iowa and Secretary Shaw of the
treasury department belong to different
schools of Iowa politics, and their polit1-
cal differences continue to keep them
apart, notwithstanding the fact that they
are no longer rivals in any senseA Re
Gently the governor was visitor in
Washington, where he remained for al
most a week. meeting public men and
being entertained by them. 1t is note
worthy that while he called on Secretary
Shaw it was at time when he knew the
secretary would be busy at a cabinet
meeting. He left his card, expressed his
regrets at not finding the secretary in,
and then departed. The two did not
meet. Both are intensely loyal to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and the governor was at
some pains while here to explain to the
president that all Iowa republicans were
supporting the administration, regardless
OF local factional differences. The presi-
dent while approving of Secretary Shaw,
is strong admirer Of Governor Cum
Minis and of the leading men Of the Cum
Minis crowd. He knows that he will have
the support of the state next year. re

Colonel Henderson's Plans
Former Speaker Henderson,, by his
withdrawal from the Dubuque law firm
with which he was for so many years
connected, has given the people of Iowa
to understand that he intends to remove
from the state. Thus far he has saic
nothing as to what he intends to do, OF
where he intends to go. but the gen
eral impression is that he will associate
himself with a large corporation In New
York city. and become in a measure iden
x,,;< CT Ia hoS mi r
ticed law for twenty years or longer. ane
Just what sort of legal service he coult
render one Of these big corporations il
not known. But that he is to be give1
position which will make him inde
pendent for the remainder of his days i
very probable. For the present the eX
speaker is resting. He will go with hi
Iowa in the late spring. when some for
NAL statement of his intentions will un
doubtedly be made.
The future of Julian Richards, Colone
Henderson's private secretary, is involve
In some mystery. Mr.. Richards at on
time was one Of the best-known of low
newspaper men. He had an independen
news bureau at Des Moines, and in addi
tion to keeping watch Of state matter
for several prominent Iowa papers, n
furnished the news of the state to pa
pers in Chicago and other large cities
It was his wide acquaintance with low
men and politics that made him so val
liable to Mr.. Henderson, whom he serve
Loyalty and discreetly. Should he car
to do so he might return to the stat
and resume his former calling, but it
more likely that he will seek an openin
elsewhere; indeed, it is just possible ths
Colonel Henderson may be able to TAX
care of him in the east.
