SOMETHING NEW.
Former Ottumwa Man Talks on Denni-
son Injunction.

son Injunction.
IT have been in the service of the
government for about eight years, and
was peace officer of the state for
four years, and have had more or less
knowledge of court affairs all my life,
and l never before heard of such a
proposition as enjoining peace officer
until Judge Days remarkable action at
Omaha in enjoining Marshal Christian
from arresting Tom Dennison," said
Deputy United States Marshal Howard
Hedrick Saturday in Des Moines.
Mr. Hedrick is former Ottumwa
man. He moved to Des Moines about
two years ago and has been engaged
in the hotel business in that city as
part owner and proprietor of the Eli
oft hotel. Mr.. Hedrick continued:
''That is something new in the line
of injunctions, even. Why, it is plain
that if that is the rule of the law, all
a man has to do when he hears that the
grand jury has it in mind to report
true bill against him is to apply to the
court somewhere for an injunction to
restrain the sheriff from serving the
warrant for his arrest. 1t looks as it
the peace officers job is about through,
il that Omaha idea is valid. l confess
I was astonished when heard of it"
Surely we are learning something
new under the sun all the time

st. Petersburg, June THE Novoe
Vremya discusses seriously the report
that the United States intends to cede
the Philippine islands to Japan and
argues that America, anticipating the
inevitable future conflict with Japan,
prefers to sell the islands instead OF
defending them. The paper adds:
Europe certainly was not pleased
at the exchange of Spanish for Ameri-
can domination in the Philippines, but
the latter is a thousand times more
agreeable than to see Japan installed
there where she would be constant
menace to European Asiastic interests.

Des Moines Bureau of Courier.
Des Moines, June z.

The consensus of opinion among
those interested in the matter is that
the Davenport alumni of the state uni
versity did President MacLean, of that
institution very decided service when
they took the drastic action of a few
weeks ago relative to his removal
from the executive office of the uni
yersity.
They were too bitter, too strong, too
partisan. 1t has reacted, and coupled
with the too great partisanship
shown everywhere among the alumni
who had hand in starting the agita-
ton, it is believed that it will COM
pei the board of regents to retain
President MacLean irrespective of the
demands of the situation
In the first place the board OF re
gents is thought to entertain a belief
that it could not remove the president

OFFICE
THE eovERNoRsHlp OF IOWA RE.
ouIREs AN ABLE MAN AND
SALARY PAYS FOR WORK.
[BY LEON BRowN.r
Oes Moines Bureau Of the co,tFier.


Des Moines, III h 7.
The reference by the Coyrie : ~ the
fact that friends of Congressman La
cey In their hope that lie will not give
up his seat of prominence in the ma
tlonal house to become governor Of
Iowa are inclined to belittle the great
Office OF governor. has been noted by
politicians generally and commended.
Beginning with last January the sal
airy OF the governor of Iowa was So
800. The salary itself is $4,000 and he
receives $500 a year house rent and
$500 year for services as member
of the executive council. This is the
body which equalizes assessments and
assessed railroad property as we'll as
exercises supervision over building
and loan, the state treasury deposits,
the telephone assessment and the state
house.
Iowa is Learning.
Even at $6,500 the salary is not
what it ought to be. The governor of
Iowa ought to get $4,000 a year at
least. Some day he will. Ten years
ago the suggestion that his salary be
increased from $4,000 to $4,000 would
almost have given lot of estimable
people heart disease. But when it
was proposed two years ago it went
through without dissent Men are
growing more appreciate of the dignity
of the Office and the state has put away
some of the penurious habits 1t framed
when it was yet under fifty years of
age.
But at $500 salary 1t now looks as
if there would be no difficulty in secur-
ing enough timber to construct a
strong candidate whenever the time
comes to make one. Politicians laugh
more or less about the speculation
which is INDUCED as to the candidates
for governor years in the future. AT
least twenty men have been mention
ed. Tom Healy is the last one about
whom it is said that the mantle Of Gov.
ernor Cummins will fall. All that is
known about it is that George D. Per,
kins will be candidate and probably
John Herriott
Cummins and Congress.
When local paper revived the
story which was printed in Des Moines
and pretty much over the state imme
diately after the congressional pri
maries and announced last week that
Governor Cummins was figuring on be
ing candidate for congress- in two
years from now, his attention was call
ed to it and he remarked that he was
too busy attending to the duties Incl
dent to his Office to be planning on
matters two or three or ten years
ahead. 1t is true of the other public
men gossiped about for the other Of
| fees.

st. Petersburg, June Z. The Rus

Arthur has been checked by a severe

of Kin Chou.
The Russians hold their position, but
the fact that their advance was check
ed proves that the Japanese hold the
roads to Port Arthur with superior
numbers, and that nothing less thai
an advance in force of Gen. Kouropat
kin's main army will serve to relieve
the pressure on Port Arthur.

correspondent of Echo de Paris has had
conversation with an aide-de-camp, who

sionally at Liao-Yang, but he did not re-
veal the movements of the Russian troops

first act of General Kuropakin will be to
recall the Russian troops from Korea. He
expects the Russian Baltic squadron to
join the Pacific fleet by the end of July
and he expects to use this combined fleet
during the month of August.
The correspondent quotes General Kuro-
patkin as follows: Il know l am impet-
uOus, but l will not sacrifice the life of a
single man uselessly. We will operate in
masses. In order to teach the Japanese a
lesson we will walk through the islands

treaty of peace will be signed in Toxic and

sponGent of the Echo de Paris spoke. but
whose name is not given, said that if he

rea remain under its "puppet of an en-
peror," but that Russian suzerainty should
be absolute. In return for certain conces-
sions, this person said Russia allowed
Japan TO occupy Korea after our victory
