was found. He had bought no ticket
at any of the railroad stations and had
only about 50 in his possession. Sheriff
Henry was notified of the disappearance.
sent out descriptions of the boy and has
notified the police at Sioux City. The
Sheriff's theory was that Mulder was
tired of the farm life. and resolved
to strike out for himself. The parents
had about given up hopes of seeing
him alive again. The prevailing the
DRY was that while young Mulder was
looking at his traps along the river,
which was very high at the time. he
fell in and was drowned. The incident
created quite a stir. Today after
searching parties had been securing the
country and dragging the
river for a week. the boy was found
in a strawstack between Seney and Lee
Mars. He had collected large num-

Iowa City. March 2E.-James Guest
Berryhill, Jr, of Des Moines, senior
in the college OF liberal arts of the Uni
versity of Iowa, is the only student in
the United States Who. as an UNDER
graduate. has won both the Phi Beta
Kappa and Sigma ri elections. Elec-
tons to these two honorary societies
are given at the leading universities In
the country every year 20 undergradu-
sltes who stand highest in scholarship
and ability along lines Of investigation
and research. A part of the constitu-
8tional provisions OF the Sigma XII So
sc;ety makes 1t impossible to award the
society election to student who is also
eligible to the Phi Beta Kappa Society.
The reason for this is that the Phi Beta
Kappa honorary fraternity is reserved
for classical students, While the Sigma
.Si honorary fraternity is reserved ex-
Nlusively for scientific students.

SEEKS TO FREE couNTRYMEN.
Joseph N. AbodeeIy to Wrestle With
With Turkish Authorities.

Cedar Rapids, March 26.-Joseph N
fort to set some of his countrymen in
the United States free from the thrall-
oom of paying taxes to the Turkish
government. The first step was taken
yesterday afternoon in the office OF
City Recorder Mentzer when num-
Der of letters and documents, one OF
them looking like shorthand written in
the dark, and in hurry. were dis
patched to the United States consul at
Beyrout.
1t Is well-known fact that Syrians
in this country have to pay taNss to
the Turkish government, no matter II
they may have emigrated many years
ago. The Turkish government is an in
exorable collector. If the taxes are not
paid by the person who is living in this
country. then the Turkish government
collects them from his nearest relative.
AS long as one of than is living the
taxes must be paid, or dire punishment
follows.
Mr.. Abodeely. who is A member of the
large and rich Syrian colony in this
city. has come to the conclusion that
UnlS SldCe OIL dIIdlTS ought 10 ne sCIlaISeO
for the better, at least so far as con-
Germs those Syrians who have become
naturalized citizens of the United
States. AT his solicitation City Re-
corder Mentzer has written a letter to
the United States consul at Beyrout,
enclosing a copy of Abodcely's naturali-
cation papers, showing that he is a bona
fide citizen of the United States and has
denounced allegiarce to every foreign
power. prince or potentate." Mr.. Ment-
ger has explained that by reason Of this
oath Mr.. Abodeely has taken he can not
yield allegiance to the sultan of Tur-
key by paying him tribute and the con-
sui Is therefore requested to take up
this matter with the authorities at Bey-
rout and have Abodeely's name stricken
from the tax rolls If that be possible.
Abodesly enclosed a letter written in
Syrian, which is chirographical curl
osity, explaining who he is and where
he came from and how he has been
paying taxes. The United States con-
sui has been requested 10 notify City
Recorder Mentzer of the result of his
efforts, and If they are successful then
the same plan will be followed with re-
gard to other members Of the colony.

new scale, which will so into effect on

| per cent in all the departments. The
only difference yet to ne adjusted is

The operators desire to increase the
price % cents ton and the miners
want it only increased 20 cents.
Des Moines, March 26.-The joint
conference of the miners and operators
of the Iowa district, including Putnam
county, Mo-, is nearing the close of its
labors and the scale is now in the
hands OF the printers. AS soon as they
the delegates the joint conference will
reassemble for the purpose of ratifying
lit and the conference of 1903 will pass
into history.
Briefly summed up. the results Of the
conference have been in favor Of the
miners. They have received a COM
plete advance turnout the scale in ac-
cordance with the increase agreed up
on In the terms of the interstate con-
vention held at indianapolis. All classes
of mine labor have received a substan-
tial increase in their wages and in
some instances have been able to Sc
cure an improvement in conditions.
The operators offered the terms of the
Indianapolis agreement at the outset
OF the joint conference and have con-
Quoted their fight upon conditions,
rather than upon prices. The battle
at times has been hard one, but was
conducted turnout with the utmost
courtesy from both sides. The terms
of the new scale become effective April
1. While the miners have received a
substantial increase OF wages, they will
be asked to pay little more for their
coal during the next scale year. The
operators are asking an increase of 20
cents per ton, while the miners are en-
deavoring to hold 1t down to 90 cents.
In the miners convention. which was
held previous to the joint meeting,
much was accomplished for the adj
vancement OF conditions with them.
Some Of the features most prominent
were the establishment of defense
fund which will accrue the sum of $780,
900 during the coming year; drafted
a bill for the regulation of child labor
which will be presented to the next
session of the Iowa legislature; estab-
lished movement for the organization
OF cooperative stores, and voted that
the delegates should use all their in
fiuence to have their locals affiliate with
the local organizations Of the Fedora
tion OF Labor.
The joint scale committee spent the
entire day yesterday in the discussion
of the machine question without reach
ing any definite conclusion and the
matter was finally left to a committee
of two operators and two miners. their
decision to be final.
