ARE TIRED OF SHEA
Large Number of Chicago Teamsters
Will Demand That tho Strike be Set
tied or Declared Off at once-Fi-
nances Running Short.

Chicago, June IA demand for
settlement Of the teamsters' strike is
expected to be framed before night at
u meeting of anti-Shea delegates in
the teamsters' joint council. Several
leaders of drivers are alleged to have
broken away from the strike leader,
President Shea, and arranged the cau-
Gus at which they plan to canvass the
situation and secure pledges enough
for calling off the strike and to go be-
fore the teamsters' joint council Mon
day with assurance of success.
Hugh MCGEE. formerly one Of the
chief lieutenants of Shea openly adj
vocates peace. II knew that terms
which were acceptable to a majority
of the strike leaders and to the rank
and file were offered a week ago by the
employers" he said. THE overtures
made by the teamsters were recipro-
Gated by certain prominent members
of the commercial exchange. The set
tlement proposed. to be sure, was con-
siderable of a compromise for the
teamsters, but under the circum-
stances 1t was good one. The team
sters' are getting tired of Shea's do
ings
The question of financing the strike
has become more and more a burden.
To pay strike bepefits and other ex-
penses required 100000 a week, and
since the grand jury investigation the
shrinkage, 1t is alleged has been large.
States Attorney Healey this after
noon announced as result of the
grand jury investigation of the alleged
corruption practiced in labor matters
the state expects to make a strong
case of conspiracy against some of the
men connected with the teamsters'
strike
Frank Davis aged II, was shot and,
probably fatally injured by drive ,
of an American Express Company's
wagon. The driver was attacked by
crowd just before the shooting After
the shooting the mob fled and the
driver surrendered at the station.

Probably Fatal Accident.
Special to Tlmes-ilepublican
Davenport, June 17-William Suiter.
man about SO years of age, who has
been making his home in Buffalo for
the past year, was terribly injured in
an accident which happened about a
mile this side of Buffalo, late yester-
day afternoon. Suiter has broken
and dislocated shoulder, a dislocated
hip and crushed skull. DR.. c. L..
Barewald, who is attending him, says
that he has about one chance out of
fifty of recovering. The accident hap
pened yesterday afternoon, and the
man was taken to Buffalo by train
crew. From there he was brought to
Davenport and taken to st. Luke's
hospital.
AS near as can be ascertained Mr..
Suiter was walking the track to Buff
sfalo and becoming tired lay down on
the track. The trainlnen state that
when he was first seen his head was
lying on the tracks and it was too late
to stop. When the locomotive struck
the man he was hurled about forty
feet and was picked up crushed am
bleeding. He was matchmaker and
had been plying his trade in Buffalo
for the past year.

STEAMER AGROUND
Hundreds Of Excursionists Were
Caught in Bad Prediosment, But
All Are Transferred to Another Yes
sell and Reach Shore Safely.

Detroit, June 17-Eleven hundred
people who started out last evening on
the steamer Columbia for a moonlight
ride on the river and a dance, were
forced to spend the night on steamer
which went aground. The excursion
lists made the best of the situation and
spent the night dancing and singing.
They were transferred to the steamer
Promise after a number of Intellectual
attempts had been made to pull the
Columbia into the channel, and arrived
here at 1880. Twelve hundred moon
light excursionists from Wyandotte,
Ford and other down river points had
a similar experience to that Of the
people on the Columbia, except that
their steamer, Pleasure, spent the night
tied to a dock instead of aground, be-
cause of dense fog, making naviga-
ton dangerous.

ference on the subject-statement

Washington, June IA long con-
refnece was held at the white house

ton and Attorney General Moody be-
ing participants. The conference re-
lated to the Santa Fe railroad rebate

GERMANY GETS "cHEsTY."
Defeat Of Russian Navy Gives Kaiser
More Confidence, go


Berlin, June 1.-THE foreign office
telegraphed to Prince Won Radolin,
German ambassador at Paris during
the last day or two in the sense that it
will be reassuring to French appre-
tensions if such were felt in the
French cabinet. Germany still press
es France automatically for her ac-
ceptance Of the proposal to hold a
conference of powers on the subject of
Morocco.
The undoubted disturbance Of feel
ing in Paris over Germany's policy IS
not traceable to anything aggressive
that the German government has do. !,
or is preparing to do. 1t is probably
due to the feeling of weakness that
has suddenly arisen in France since
Rojestvensky lost the sea fight and the
corresponding relative increase in Ger
man confidence since it has become
evident that Russia need not for the
present be reckoned with The thought
in government, in army and in the
press is that Germany, in a military
sense, has now become master of the
continent, and that being so, France
and every other continental power
should recognize that in diplomacy
also Germany has risen to first place
and must be dealt with as the para
mount power.

Tension STRAINED
Pessimistic Feeling Prevails in
Paris Over Germany's Mo-
roccan Policy
GERMAN NOTE is UNANSWERED
France Has Not Replied to the Propo-
sition to Call a Conference Of the
Powers-some Improvement in the
Situation Noticeable Today-The
Washington View.

Paris. June 17.-Efforts to secure
diplomatic adjustment of the FRANCO
German controversy relative to Nor
occo remain without definite results.
Negotiations, while not suspended
make practically no progress. France
has not given her final response 10
Germany,s movement for an interna-
tional conference and officials do not
confirm the German press reAorts that
France has definitely rejected \he pro-
posal for q conference. For the pres
ent Premier Rouvier is turning his eff
forts toward learning what Germany
desires to accomplish by q conference
as it is the view in official quarters
that some chief objection to the con-
ference may be removed by having
it's plans and purposes exactly defined.
In the meantime sentiment In high
quarters remains most solicitious con-
cerning the outcome Of negotiations
and sinister reports circulate concerns
ing the possibilities resulting from
complete failure to reach diplomatic
adjustment.
The tension of the Franco German
situation was somewhat relieved, dur
ing the later hours of the day. The
improvement resulted from the belief
that an agreement may still be reached
concerning the proposed international
conference

wooDMEN HOLD PICNIC.
Annual Festivities Held at co,with
Were Grand Success.

Special to Times Republican.
Corwith, June II. Camp No. 1883,
Modern Woodmen of America, held
say that it was a success would be
putting it very mildly, but such it was
and a huge success at that. The day
started in ideal fashion and contin-
ued as such the entire day thruo,tt
The first special train came in from
the south on the NJ. & st. L. at 1880,
the second one from the north at 9:45,
and the third from the south at 10: 10
over the Iowa Central the three trains
bringing in about 1000 people. About
1O:30 the people commenced to arrive
by team and by IL o'clock fully $500
people were on the streets. .'hree
bands were in attendance, one from
Britt, one from Humboldt, and the
other from st. Benedict. The speak
ing was held i'm Roffnots' grove, and
Mayor Standring being absent, g. r.
Wood was elected to deliver the adj
lress Of welcome, which he delivered
by a few very fitting remarks, which
were well received. The subject, Our
Flag" was responded to by John
Hammjll, of Britt, and he fandlel the
question we'll. Response to address OF
welcome was delivered by r. w. Han
ma, of Luyerne, representing the visit
ing camps
The orator of the day, the National
Lecturer, Hon. Fred G. White, of Pom
tjac. ILL.,, spoke fifty minutes on
"Woodcraft,' and he handled the ques-
tion to the entire satisfaction Of the
audience. 1t was a good talk from
start to finish. The addresses were in-
terspersed with orchestra and band
music, and songs by the male 6 uar-
tet. AT 1:30 drills came ON by the n.

w. A. and r. N. A. from the Hum
holdt camp. and they did themselves
proud. The Famous Squad Drillers. 4
under Captain Clopfenorsfke, were the
funny feature of the day, and kept
things hilarious for about fifteen min
Iutes, pleasing the large crowd am-'
mensely.
Fat mems races, 100-yard dash, re-
lay races, pole vaulting, were next In
order, followed by the ball game be-
tween Humboldt and Corwith, for a
purse Of s45. The boys played ball
from start to finish, the Humboldt
team winning, the score standing 2
and in Humboldt's favor.
The band concert I'm the evening
was attended by large and enthusi-
astic crowd, and ended the festivities
of the day. 1t was the general talk
Of the visitors that it was the very
best picnic they had ever attended.

diplomatic experience. and Mr.. Taxa
hia-a. the Japanese minister, it is sug-
gested here, may be named as the third
plenipotentiary. If the entire mission is
selected from Toxic the Japanese min
lister at Washington undoubtedly will
be designated the ranking adviser of
the mission. The selection of Mr..
Takahira as one of her plenipoten-
tiaries will be distinctly acceptable
here. He has frequently accorded
privileges in official circles usually re-
served for an ambassador, aud per-
haps no diplomat has been oftener re-
ceived than he at Secretary Hays
home,
Should Mr.. Takahira be placed on
the mission the chances are M. Nell-
doff will be accompanied by a second
plenipotentiary from Russia and would
be joined in Washington by Baron
Rosen, the new Russian ambassador,
who will sail for this country June 2S,
and who. thru his two years duty at
Toxic, Is thoroughly familiar with
Asiatic politics. 1t is said, moreover,
that with the exception of General
Kuropatkin, few Russians possess the
confidence of the Japanese to great
er degree than Baron Rosen.
Language Used Is Important.
Another important detail which has
been the subject of informal CONVEX
sations at the White house is the
language to be used at the conference.
Russia will ask that the French
language be used; Japan will express
preference for English, and in the
recognition Of the courtesies to be ex-
tended the p!enipotentiaries by the
Washington government diplomats be-
lieve that the English language, If not
accepted as the official language of
the conference, will be used Jointly
with French.

COURT DIsAGREEs
Question of Taxation of Railroads in
Charter Cities Not Satisfactorily
Settled by, Iowa Supreme Court.

Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids June 17.-The supreme
court late yesterday afternoon agreed
to disagree in the Linn and Scott
county railroad tax cases and ,as a
result of the same the code provides
that disagreement is an affirm alton
of the trial court, therefore the city of
Cedar Rapids loses it's case against the
Rock island and the city Of Dave nport
wins lis, fight for taxes on full ,alua-
ton.
These cases are among the most i'm
portans ever before the supreme court
and they have been pending for over a
year. 1t is understood that lengthy
opinion! was written about two m onths
ago. but since it was not filed by the
court, The belief was strong that the
higher tribunal was unable to agree
and the decision to that effect yester-
day was no surprise.
The local case was originally All ap-
peal from the 1903 assessment b.y the
city on a full valuation. The case was
tried before Judge Preston and he held
that the city had not the right to as
sess the railroads on any but one
fourth valuation. In Scott county Il
similar case was tried before Judge
Bollinger in which the issues were
practically identical and the court held
just to the contrary of Judge Preston's
decision.
Will Sue for 1904 Taxes.
The next move of City Attorney
Hughes will be suit against the rail-
roads for the 1904 taxes on full vail
uation. The taxes for that year were
levied on the same basis as the year
previous, but the railroads did not ap-
peal from the same and the time for
such a move has expired. In view of
this suit for the 1904 taxes will prob
ably be. filed in the superior court In
view of the decision of the supreme
court, rhe 1903 assessments are illegal
His principal contention was, of
course, that special charter cities are
authorized to make the assessment on
railroad property independent o., the
methods provided in section 1884 Of
I,

GRINNELL'S BIG GAIN
Completion Of the Census Shows the
City Has Now Population Of 4,e15,
Gain of Over 20 Per Cent Since
1soo-county Holds It's Own.

Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell, June IA gain OF 20 per
cent in population in five years IS
shown by the census Of this city, just
completed. In 1900 Grinnell had $3.50
inhabitants and the first of January,
1905 had 4,e15, an increase of 755.
With the exception of the Waterloo
and Des Moines, it is believed this is
1.-THE 'greatess percentage of growth
yet shown by the Iowa census. The
population by wards is as follows:
First ward, 1,19o; second, 1,2sS; third,
955; fourth, 1882. The county has
gained only ten in the five years. In

1t is learned here that the contest
in the Langland estate. brought On by
Mrs. Langland givingsa $4,000 mort
gage to the Iowa Collection and Trust
Company Of this city is based on her
expectation in showing that the di-,
vorce was not legal. The Lanelands
lived at Nevada and an item appeared
in the columns of the T.-R. few days
ago telling of the contest. Mrs.
Langland's attorneys here state that
they will show that the divorce vas Of
no effect for the season that tn, two
lived together after the divorce was
granted Not that they lived together
in Nevada, but that he went to ste ,r
frequently. and sent her money. They
claim furthermore that there is {; sec
ond will in existence which gives the
bulk of the property and $4,000 ir cash
to Mrs. Langland They propose to
appeal the divorce case to the supreme
court at this late date and have the
decree set aside and then proce ed to
secure the estate for Mrs. Ian gland.
If the divorce is set aside she would
get her legal one-third. If she pro-
duces the will which she claims is. in
existence she would get the bulk of the
estate.
