in the promotion of state wide Fri

CANNOT OPERATE
IN BASEMENT

Des Moines, June 15.-Basement or
second story saloons cannot operate
in Iowa and the saloon across the
alley from the postoffice must close.
That was the decree of the supreme
court entered yesterday in the case
of A ]. McColl against Rally & Fisher.
Both the construction of the parti-
ton in the north side of the room in
order TO make it more than fifty feet
from the Iowa Loan and Trust COM
pany building and the attempt to run
a saloon in basement are declared
by the court to be illegal.
The floor of the saloon is five feet
below the level of the walk while
the top of the windows are only four
feet above the walk. The tar COM
mences thirty-five feet from the near
est part of the sidewalk.
1T is manifest, no matter what wit
neSses may say, that man of Ordin-
airy height walking along the side
walk in the usual way, could not See'
the entire bar" says the court. If
he were close to the building he could
not see any of it without STOPPING.
Clearly the bar in this case is not in
plain view from the street. (The law
says the bar shall "be in Ilain view
from the StreetD True. a man by
starting at the building and going out
into the street could see the entire
length of the bar; but this does not
meet either the letter or the spirit of
the law.
plain view of the bar means plain
view from the street or sidewalk used
by pedestrians in the usual and ordin-
airy way"
The court says the testimony clear
ly establishes the fact that the bar
is not in plain view of the street as
that term is used in the statute.
THE very object of this provision
was 10 prevent the establishment of
saloons in easements, the second
stories of buildings or in other places
not open to view by those passing by
OF the sidewalks or streets"
The court also doubts if the en-
trance to this saloon or the door there
o was upon a public street. Surely
door at the end of long hall is not
an entrance upon street." said the
court. The entrance to the room in
question was not and could not be
uron a public street. Steps were
necessary to reach it and in this case
there are many"

| TIN CAN BANK
! PROVES UNSAFE
Henry Gruber OF Otto Said
to Have Lost
S1,400.
HAD GUARDED AGAINST LOSS
Buried Paper Bills and Mildew Causes
Them to Decay - Monona County
Farmer Has Sad Experience in En-
deavor to Prevent Loss by Banks

Otto, June 19.-"Every man his
own banker" was not successful in
the case of Henry Gruber of Otto, Mon
ona county, who buried 81 400 in an
old can, and when he went to dig up
the wealth, found IL a mass of rot
ten paper. When the Otto bank failed
few years ago 1t was a cause for
much prejudice against banking in
stitutions generally and many people
have since refused to use this method
of saving their money. This was the
case of Henry Gruber, a prosperous
farmer, eight miles east of this place.
Henry had heard all about the Otto
bank affair and decided that no bank
would ever close it's doors on any
of his hard earned coin. Accordingly
he became a devotee of the tin can
depository and many a sheckel he let
go kerplunk into the depths of an old
rusty tomato can, buried under the
roots of an aged apple tree. Gruber
prospered, and recently, when he
thought he had enough money to in
vest in a farm in the north part of
Woodbury. county, he went to dig up
his reputed wealth. The can was
there all right, but She spring rains
had entered before him and the
money, mostly paper, was a moldy
rotten mass which no one would ever
suspect of having been a circulating
medium of this nation. Mr.. Gruber
has sent the whole mass, some
$1,4O0, to the treasury recruitment, in
the hopes of having it redeemed in
good gold dollars.

JAPANESE DEMANDS.
Vienna Seems to Have an lntimation
of the Character of Same

OF the character or same.
Vienna, June 1.-THE opinion pre-
vailing here is that the peace nego-
tiations between Russia and Japan
will eventually prove successful. This
is based primarily on the belief that
Japan will meet Russia more than
half way, making Unexpectedly rea-
sonable demands. Certain intima-
tons have been received here that
Japan's terms are substantially as fol-
lows:
First-The recognition of the ia
panese protectorate over Korea.
Second-The return of Manc hurla
to China
hird-InternatiOnal control of the
eastern Chinese railroad
Notwithstanding Port Arthur the
stragetical value of this fortress has
been over-estimated and it is said that
it's ultimate disposal will not give rise
to any controversy.
Fifth-It is not thought that Japan
will demand the demolitionlof the for
tifications at Vladiyostok.
Sixth-The surrender of the Island
of Sakhalin will not be demanded by
Jaran principally because Japan has
not vet carried the war into Russian
territory.
Seventh-An understanding regard
ing an indemnity is not impossible be-
cause it is declared Japan will con-
tent herself with demanding the cost
of the war

PAvES THE WAY TO PEACE
Oyama and Linevitch Will Sign the

Russian ENJOYS and Marquis Ito
May Perform Like Office for Japan

Washington, June 17.-Alone on the
plains of Manchuria, midway between
the two great armies, the Russian and
japanese commanders will meet to
sign the armistice which will pave the
way for the conference, if the present
tentative programme is followed EX-
changes on this point are now in pro-
gress between Toxic and ST. Peters
burg via Washington. but no final con-
clusion has been reached. 1t was
first thought preliminary protocol
might be signed at Washington pro-
viding for a temporary cessation of
hostilities, but in view of the fact
that this concerns directly the armies
in the field, it is believed that the
belligerents will agree that the ar
rangements of the armistice would be
best entrusted to Linevitch and Oya-
ma, the respective commanders in
chief, who, in such event, would be
telegraphed special powers to sign.
The time limit for the armistice has
not been fixed, but it will be comrara-
lively brief, that the progress of the

as possible.
Prior to the signing of the armis-
tice, however, will come the official
announcement of the Russian and
Japanese plenipOtentiaries. Russia
has indicated that her mission will be
headed by M. Nelidoff, the Russian
ambassador at Paris, and it is under
stood that the emperor has requested
Marquis Ito to head the. Japanese mis-
sion, although the distinguished presi-
dent of the privy council, so far as
is known here, has not finally accept
ed. Only his health would cause him
to decline, in which event Field Mar
shall Yamagata probably would be
selected in his place. Neither country
has suggested the names of the other
plenirotentiaries, nor has the number
finally been agreed upon, though the
belief tonight is that there will be
three on side.

TRAINS SPLINTERED.
Awful Wreck Reported on West
Maryland Railroad.

Baltimore, Md, June 1S.-By far
the worst wreck in the history of the
Western Maryland railroad occurred
last evening at point about quar-
ter of mile from PataDsco, a small
station between Westminster and
Finksburg. At least eighteen people
are believed to have been killed and
a score more injured.
Passenger train No. 5, westbound,
was running at very high rate Of
speed when at the point named it
crashed into a double-header freight
running east. All three of the engines
were reduced to scrap iron, the ex-
press and baggage cars and passenger
cars were smashed and number of
the freight cars were splintered
The passenger coaches sustained lit
tie injury and almost without excep-
ton their occupants escaped with
nothing worse than bad shaking up.
The fatalities and injuries were to
the crews of the engines and to the
workman employed by the railroad.
1t is a remarkable coincidence that
these latter should have been at
work repairing the damages caused
by a recent small freight wreck that
occurred at Mount Hope Stain, near
this city. They were on their way to
their homes, in small towns along the
Western Maryland to spend Sunday
Not being regular passengers, they
had boarded the baggage car and en-
CINE. When the crash came the more
fortunate. who were on the engine,
jumped or were thrown from the train
and were only injured. Those in the
baggage car were terribly mangled
and the crews of all three engines
were killed. Their bodies are all be-
lieved to be under the wreckage of
the engines.

TO TRY DENNIsoN.
Attorney Thomas of Omaha Announ-
ces His Plans.

CcS F1lS rams.
Omaha, June 17.-Tom Dennison,
acquitted of the charge of receiving
the stolen Pollack diamonds, is to be
tried now on the charge of robbery.
This announcement was made yester-
day by Elmer z. Thomas, attorney
for the Civic federation and the Jewel
ers' Protective association. The mat
ter has been discussed fully by the
Civic federation since the acquittal OF
Dennison on the first charge, and the
members feel sure of being able to
secure conviction.
II is recalled thct some jurymen
stated that they believed Dennison
was mixed up in the Pollack diamond
robbery, but that they could not find
sufficient evidence to cover the re-
quired instructions that they must
find that Dennison went to Iowa to re-
ceive the diamonds in order to find
him guilty of receiving stolen goods
The charge of robbery was the Sec
ond indictment returned by the Har-
rison county grand jury against Den
nison. The case cannot come to
trial before the October term of court.
1t will be heard at Red Oak, where
the first case was heard. The state
will use practically the same evidence
that was adduced before, unless
something additional should be discov-
cred in the meantime. Mr.. Thomas
declared yesterday that he considered
the evidence offered before to be am
pie to secure a conviction.

WASHINGTON
IS SELECTED
PlenipotentIaries Decide On
Place of Confer
enCe.
PRESIDENT LEARNS THE NEWS
From Takahira, Japan's Representa-
tive Here-visitors Turned Away
While President Receives Momen-
tous News During Busiest Hours

Washington, June 1G.-America's
national capital has been selected as
the seat OF negotiations between the
plenipotentiaries of Russia and ia
pan for treaty of peace. The choice
OF Washington as the location of the
peace conference marks another for
ward step in the negotiations toward
ultimate peace in the rar east insti-
tuted by President Roosevelt.
Official announcement of the selec-
ton of Washington was made by Sec.
rotary, Loeb at 1928 p. m. yesterday.
1t was in typewriter form and read
as follows: When the two govern
ments were unable to agree upon
either Chefco or Paris, the president
suggested the Hague, but both gov
ernments have now. requested that
Washington be chosen as the place
of meeting and the president has ac-
cordingly formally notified both gov
ernments that Washington will be
selected"
This statement was supplemented
shortly afterward by a semi-official
announcement that after meeting
and organizing, the plenipotentiaries
of the TWO governments il it should be
found to be uncomfCrtably hot in
Washington, may adjourn the meet
ing to some summer resort in the
north and there continue their sit
tings until such time as the weather
in Washington shall be more COM
Portable"
Now that some of the details of the
negotiations which have been pending
for more than two weeks are known
the selection of Washington is regard,
ed as the only logical solution pre-
scented to the belligerent governments.
After the acceptance by Russia and
Jaran of President Roosevelt's prop
osition that they consent to consider
the question of peace, Russia indi-
Gated Paris as the most desirable
place for the meeting to negotiate
treaty and Japan indicated Chefoo.
There the subject rested for forty
eight hours.
Finally Japan declined to com fider
Paris for obvious reasons, and ltus-
Sia objected to the holding of, the
conference in any Oriental city.
Washington then was suggested as
place at which the belligerants
could meet on common ground, undis-
turbed by either political or personal
Influences
AS means of facilitating the nego-
tiations the president suggested that
he conference be held at The Hague
the seat of the international arbitra-
ton tribunal and the location of the
first general arbitration conference
hold OF tho nf E'n1
Nicholas of Russia.
But it finally became known that
Japan was opposed to any European
city and Russia was opposed to going
20 Asia. Washington, thereupon be-
came the last resort, and that city
was agreed upon.

sHAKEUP IS ON
IN RUSSIAN NAVY
Grand Duke Alexis, Cars
Uncle, Offers Resig-
nation.
REScRIPT FOLLOWS ACTION
Relieves Grand Duke Of Supreme
Direction of Navy Admiral AvelIan,
Head of Russian Admiralty Depart
ment, Follows Chief Into Oblivion

London, June 16.--According to a
dispatch from st. Petersburg, Grand
Duke Alexis retains all his other
Offices and dignities, including his po-
sition as aide-camp to the emperor.
St Petersburg, June 16-The sem
sational announcement was made
shortly before midnight that Grand
Duke Alexis, the high admiral, who
is an uncle of the emperor, and adj
miral Avellan, head of the Russian
admiralty department, had resigned.
This announcement was followed u
few minutes later by an imperial re-
script relieving the grand duke of
the supreme direction of the navy,
which he had held since the days Of
the emperor's father, Alexander III,
when Russia resolved to enter the
lists as a first class sea power, and
to build up great navy, the rem
nants of which were destroyed in the
battle of the sea of Japan.
Although from time to time since
the war began there have been rum
ors that the grand duke would re-
tire on account of the savage criti-
cism, not to use harsh terms, directed
against the administration bf the
navy, especially in the construction
of ships, the announcement of his
resignation came like a bolt out of
the blue. 1t was not preceded by
any of the rumors which usually give
warning of such act, consequently it
was assumed that some sudden event
precipitated it and ugly stories i'm
mediately came to the surface.
Among those sojourning late in the
cafes and hotels, the editorial in the
Nasha Shisn yesterday morning de-
handing an accounting of the ropu-
lar fund subscribed for the rebuild
ing of the navy and declaring that
great names are no longer guaran-
tees was instantly recalled
The words of the rescript give no
hint of the imperial anger and the real
explanation probably will not leak
for several days, but the instant dis
position was to regard the retirement
of Grand Duke Alexis and Admiral
Avellan as concession to public
opinion, following the browning trag-
ely of the sea of japan.

MUCH PROGRESS AT PANAMA.
Will Take Only Month to Put Zone
in Healthy Condition.

Washington, June 19.-The techni-
cal members of the Panama canal
commission will leave New York on
June "a for the zone, and will make a
thorough investigation of the condi-
tons prevailing there. The army
surgeons who have just returned
from the isthmus after an inspection
of the sanitary conditions say that it
will require only about month to put
Panama in healthy order. 1t will take
much longer to effect this result in
Colon, where the work is impeded by
the prevalence of swamps in the vi
cinity.
The surgeon says that it would be
difficult to get Americans TO stay on
the isthmus in clerical capacity with
out extra compensation, and that the
greatest thing to combat will not be
the yellow fever, but the tropical ma
laria, which, while not as fatal, is
more obstinate The canal work is
advancing as rapidly as could be ex-
pected. A large amount Of excava-
ton is being done, and the chief en-
gineer proposes to construct a four
track railroad so as to handle ma
terial with the greatest possible speed.
It Is also proposed to make reduc-
ton in the tariff over the line as an
inducement to European commerce..
