AFTER TOM DENNlsoN.
Governor cummins Has Issued a Re
QUESTION.

QUESTION.
Des Moines, May 2S.-Governor
Cummins yesterday issued requisi.
ton upon Governor Mickey of Ne
braska for the return to Harrison
county, Iowa, of Tom Dennison Of
Omaha for trial on the charge of re-
ceiving stolen goods, the $4,000 in
diamonds stolen by Frank Schercliffe
County Attorney Fallon OF Harrison
county, Immediately upon receipt of
the requisition papers placed them in
the hands of United States Marshal
George NJ. Christian for service on
Governor Mickey. and Marshal Chris
tian expects to go to Lincoln today.
The objection which had been made
Wednesday by the attorneys for Den
nison that the application on file with
Governor Cummins for the issuance u
a requisition was not accompanied by
the Sworn evidence" required by the
statute, was met by County Attorney
Fallon with new sworn affidavit
from Schercliffe substantiating the
minutes of his testimony before the
grand jury of Harrison county.
This affidavit was procured from
Schercliffe at Fort Madison peniten-
tiary Thursday by Mr.. Fallon. Scher-
cliffe himself dictated it. In it he
states that there was specific agree
ment between Dennison and himself
that Dennison should wire him o. K
if he found the diamonds where Scher-
cliffe had planted them. that this tele-
gram was received by him in Des
Moines and afterward Dennison gave
him the details of the discovery of the
gems in their grave near a Dunkard
church close to Missouri Valley, de.
failing the effort which Dennison
made to make him believe that they
were not valuable stones but would do
for dog collars, perhaps.
This sworn affidavit was so specific
that Governor Cummins had nothing
else to do but to issue the requisition
and the order was so made.

WINS BIG DAMAGE SUIT.
American Bonding Co. Must Pay City
of OttumWa $14, 52o.33.

OF OItuTlWd pif,oEO'oo.
Des Moines, May 2S-A verdict for
$14,52033 for the city of Ottumwa was
returned yesterday by the jury in the
federal court against the Assyrian
Asphalt company and the American
Bonding and Trust company
The case has been one of unusual
interest. The city of Ottumwa let a
contract to The Assyrian Asphalt COM
pany for the paving of Second street
in that city. The work was done under
bond executed with the American
Bonding and Trust company as surety.
Soon after the paving had been laid
the company which performed the
contract became insolvent, and later
on the paving began to show signs of
disintegration. Almost within two
years the entire stretch of street was
so badly disturbed with holes that the
city askd for its repair.
Finding that the Assyrian company
was bankrupt, second contract was
let, this time for the repair of the
street. This contract was let to the
Barber Asphalt company, and upon
tne complexion Oh the contFact suit
was commenced against the bond COM
pany for the recovery of the contract
price, being $4,000, and other expen-
ditures entering into the deal.
The bond company denied it's liabil-
ity on the ground that the completion
of the paving by the Assyrian Asphalt
company and its acceptance by the
city of Ottumwa was a release of the
bond. Judge Mcpherson instructed
otherwise

ALUMNI MAKE DEMAND.
They Ask That President MacLean
Be Deposed,


Davenport, May 24.-The Daven-
port alumni of the State university
spoke with no uncertain voice last
night In denouncing the discussions
between the president and faculty OF
that institution, and declaring that it's
best interests would be served by the
removal Of President MacLean.
A called meeting OF tie Alumni as
sociation was attended by about sixty
university graduates, presided over by
ex-senator William o. Schmidt. The
resolutions adopted were presented by
Judge ]. w. Bollinger of the Seventh
judicial district, and the president
was scored in speeches by various
men prominent in the professions in
which they were trained at the uni
versity in its former and more pros
porous years. Ex-Mayor Henry Voll-
mer, of the committee which visited
the university, reported that the situa-
ton there was such as imperatively
demanded reform. Eminent scientists
in the faculty were in state border
ing on desperation owing to their
treatment by the president, he said.
The Institution had lost 400 students,
it was asserted, since the MacLean
administration began. Some very I'M
complimentary expressions were APP
piled to President MacLean by some
of the more vigorous OF the speakers.
After nearly a score of addresses
the meeting by rising vote adopted
the following resolutions:
Whereas, 1t is apparent to every
one interested in the State University
OF Iowa that the institution is not
prospecting as it should; and,
Whereas, We believe this is large
ly due to the methods of the presi.
dent in his management as executive,
and his failure to maintain the re-
spect and confidence of the faculty;
and,
Whereas, We believe the present
relations between the faculty and the
PRESIDENT are positively injurious to
the institution, and growing worse
each year; and,
Whereas, We learn that eminent
members of the faculty are likely to
resign unless a change is made; and,
WHEREAS, we tHlih lHc uhi'SiSi|3
would receive greater financial sup
port from the Legislature and greater
moral support from its alumni If it
had another and more competent
president, therefore, be it
Resolved, by the alumni OF the
city of Davenport, That we hereby
appeal to the board of regents and
petition them to select
new president Of the institution; and
be it further
Resolved, That a copy Of these
resolutions be sent to the board by
our secretary"

THIRTEEN KILLED IN EXPLOSION
Boilers of Boat on River Blown Up at
Louisville.

Louisville, KY. May 27.-Thirteen
persons we're killed, three fatally in
jured and five hurt by an explosion
of boilers which totally demolished
the tow boat Fred Wilson off River
view Park yesterday.
The Wilson was the property of
he Monongahela Coal and Coke COM
oany and left Pittsburg last Friday
with six barges,~ IL coal boats and
our fats, bound for Louisville. She
arrived here about midnight, had pro-
seeded down the river and was about
70 tie up when the explosion occurred.
The cause of the accident is not
known. The boat hands put about
to back a tow into landing place
when the explosion occurred. Henry
Sykes, first mate, could give no ex-
dent. He and Chief Engineer Walker
were the only men on the boat who
escaped injury. Neither man could
give the names of the deck hands,
nor did they know the name of the
passenger who was making the trip
with Captain Price, save that he came
aboard at Pittsburg, and that they
had gained the impression that he
was in the insurance business. He
die age.
Herman Shively, second engineer,
was blown through the side of the
Wilson, and landed twenty-five feet
away on top of shanty boat.
