NO eRAvEDleeER FOR SHAW
Secretary Gets Civil Service Board to
Let Him Have Real coachman.

Secretary Gets Civil Service Board to
Let Him Have Real coachman.
Washington, April 19. Instead of
the gravedigger originally assigned to
him by the civil service commission for
a coachman, Secretary Shaw is to
have his first choice, Robert Sheppard.
to whom the commission had objected
because Of the presentation by Shep-
pard Of letters from political support
ers. The matter was satisfactorily
adjusted yesterday during visit
which Civil Service Commissioner
Cooley paid to the secretary.
A statement was given out after the
conference in which it is said the
gravedigger himself denied he had ever
been a coachman, but that Sheppard
had been the coachman of Senator
fisherman, DIR. Harbin and Alfred Henry
Lewis.
Mr. Sheppard never disclosed to any,
one in the treasury department that
he had ever done political work for
the republican party" adds the state
ment, "but that fact would not have
prejudiced him in the eyes of the sec
retary had he known it,
Secretary Shaw says there is no
quarrel between him and the commits
sion over the incident and he is sure
the commission will gladly favor an
executive order giving him an expert
enced coachman, a man of suitable
character and one who knows the
streets and numbers of the city. He
recognizes that no civil service exam
ination will discover such a man."

Nevada, April 19.--Arnold Fenton.
an aged citizen of this city, was struck
and instantly killed by the Northwest
ern fast mail on the Lynn street cross
ing in this city about 10 o'clock this
morning. He was struck while on the
crossing and his body ground under the
wheels for about seventy-five yards.
His body was literally ground to pulp
and he was picked up and carried to
the undertaker's establishment In
basket and sack. Coroner Conner will
hold an inquest this afternoon. Mr..
Fenton was very aged, slightly deaf
and had poor eyesight, which accounts
for his being caught.
The day operator at the tower Wit
messed the accident and says Fenton
evidently became bewildered. He was
crossing the track In a diagonal direc-
ton and when the train approaches
within about a hundred yards Fen
ton stopped. At this moment he hes
itated and becoming confused as to
which, track the train was on failed to
get out Of the way. The train struck
him with awful force. and hurled him
against the boiler head. The body then
fell in front Of the wheels and was
dragged for about seventy-five yards.
It presented a horrible sight when re-
leased. It was literally ground TO
pieces and it was necessary to place
the pieces in basket in order to
carry them to the undertaker's PAN

THE RATE QUESTION
The Santa Fe Man Again Before the
Senate Committee investigating the
Railroad Rate Question-Admits the
Law is Violated.

Washington, April 19.-Victor Nor
awetz, of the Athchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe railroad, was again before
the senate committee Of the interstate
commerce today Replying to ques-
tions by Senator Dolliver, Mr.. Mora
wetz said the executive committee of
the boards of the directors never knew
anything about the details OF traffic
management. They give directions to
the president of the road and the pres
ident directs the, other officers. Where
traffic managers violate the law in
granting rebates and determinations
to one shipper, do you not think 1t
would be right to compel the road to
give all shippers low rates?" asked
Senator Dolliver.
"In many cases, it would be right,
and in others unjust" replied Mr.. Nor
awetz. ut would not be right to make
the stockholders suffer because some
agent had committed some wrong, "
Senator Dolliver questioned Mr..
Morawetz about agreements between
companies as to rates. The latter re-
Piled that there were not agreements" )"
The railroads, he said, talked things
over and reached an understanding, as
to what rates would be from competi-
tive points. He said these rates were
fixed on a remunerative basis.

THEY WANT A VISIT
Ranchmen and Monutaineers Ask the
President to Visit Their School Lo-
Gated Near the Roosevelt Camp.

Glenwood Springs, April 19.-Before
the president moves away too far the
ranchmen and mountaineers desire
that he visit Liberty school, where
their children are educated. This
school is near the presidents camp
and the children Of the ranchers ride
for miles around to attend. The mis-
sion Of Joe Austin, who came to the
Springs last night with Courier Chap
man was to get Loeb to use his good
offices in arranging visit. Captain
Austin told Secretary Loeb that a pa
troll had been organized and it is now
impossible for outsiders to reach the
area over which the presidents party
is hunting.
The Charles Penny Ranch, where the
hunting party is now encamped, is N
the east divide and the party will move
to the west divide Saturday or Monday
as it is reported game is more plentiful
there.

State Papers Made Public Today
Show Strained Relation
With United States
GAVE ASSURANCE
Reasons for Taft's Visit to the Istmus
Were More Grave Than Supposed at
the Time Panama Finally Satisfied
With the Course Which United
States Pursued.

Washington, April 19.-How acutely
the Panaman government was aroused
last summer prior to the visit of Sec
retary Taft over the opening of ports
.on the Panama canal zone is apparent
from the correspondence made public
today at the state department. In
cluded in the correspondence is a note
of protest from the Panaman minister
for foreign affairs to Minister Barrett
in which he says:
"The republic of Panama has not
only the right to expect common re-
spect, but more especial and deferen-
tial treatment than that which she re-
ceived.
"The treaty of November 1S, 1903,
cannot and should not serve as pre-
text for unusual tendencies; it is really
bond of perpetual union between the
two nations, upon which the eyes of
the universe are fixed with the expec-
tation of great benefit which the world
has every right to look forward to.
starting UHeL, WIFI lHiS SaHie SoiiSSp'
ton, my government can not accept
the idea that the opening Of said ports
was in obedience to the orders Of your
excellency's government, but to the
erroneous Interpretation of the respec-
tive treaty on the part of the author
tiles of the canal zone"
Upon receipt of the protest Acting
Secretary Of State Loomis cabled Bar
rett, directing him to assure the Pan
aman government the American gov
ernment, "will do nothing inconsistent
with the honor and true interests of
both republics; that it will assist and
uphold Panama in everp proper way,
and that it will not adopt at this time
any permanent policy without fully
consulting Panama"

Asking Of Receiver for johnson County
Organization, Causes Sensation.
Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, April ia receiver has
been asked for the Johnson County
Telephone Company, an Independent
organization having lines in Johnson
and adjoining counties, with capital
stock of $4,000. The officers of the
company are II. l.. North Of Hudson,
Wis, president; ]. D. Gross of Hud-
son, Wis, vice president; and A. T.
Presson, of Iowa City, secretary and
treasurer. The action is brought by
H. N. Mcdonald, of West Liberty, the
owner of five thousand dollars worth
Of the companies stock.
The petition states that the company
was organized in 1901 and that since
that time it has paid no dividends;
that the affairs of the company in the
charge of A. r. Presson, have been
grossly mismanaged, and that the con-
dition Of the company should be
thoroughly investigated and receiver
appointed if necessary. The suit will
probably be one of the most sensa-
tional trials in the district court in
some time.

STAND BY TARBELL
Another Meeting Of the Agents of the
Equitable Held Today - Knowles
Statement That Troubles Were
Caused by Alexander Denied.

New York, April 10. The general
agents of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society met again today to dis
cuss the society's affairs and advisa-
bility of forming permanent organ
ization of the general agents for the
mutual support and protection. Be-
fore the meeting agents talked over
with considerable excitement the state
ments by Henry III. Knowles, until a
few days ago superintendent Of agen-
cies equitable, that the society's trou-
bles were caused by Alexander and
Vice President Tarbell, in an effort to
oust Hyde from the first vice presi-
ander when the latter should retire
from the presidency. Knowles also
declared the present meeting of agents
was snap affair arranged in the in
terest of Messrs. Alexander and Tar
bell The agerts denied this. Tarbeil
made statement today, in which he
said Alexander never thought Of re-
signing. Tarbell praised President AL
exander's integrity and said he had
made the soc1ety's interests his life
work The statements of Tarbell were
cheered by the crowd of agents pres
ent.
Knowles made another statement to-
day in which he charged that Second
Vice President Tarbell had shifted
the men about, discharged some and
appointed others so he could control
agents and managers for the Alexan-
der interests. Tarbell denied the
statement.
Although no official statement was
given out it was reported the general
agents adopted resolution calling on
Hyde to resign.
Samuel Untermyer, counsel for Hyde,
made a statement concerning the James
H. Hyde and associates Syndicate
transactions.' Untermyer said in
part: "These transactions tell their
own story of the equal interest and
participation of Mr.. Alexander. The
transactions were entirely legitimate
and there is no just grounds for criti-
cising Alexander or anybody else for
being interested in them" Untermyer
calls attention to the checks sent Mr..
Alexander by Mr.. Hyde and concerning
one for $2S,266, Mr. Untermyer said:
.'No notice has ever been given any
body that this check or it's proceeds
were ever turned over to the Equitable
Society,"

QUIET In VENEZUELA
Calm Manner in Which France and

castro's clustering and Annoying
Attitude Has Had Beneficial Effect.

Caracas, April e. Correspondence
Associated Press s.)-Affairs in Vene-
zuela, haave assumed a more tranquil
aspect than for many months. France s
attitude in the case against the French
Gable Company and the calm manner
in which the United States accepted
Presidents Castro's refusal to accept
arbitration have disarmed fear. It is
unlikely decision of the entire tri-
bunal to which the cable company's
case has been appealed will be an
nounced for several months. No de-
cision is expected in the New York

at least a month and as Venezuela has
appeased Holland by releasing three
of the five Dutch sailors imprisoned
in the country there seems no chance
for a turn of affairs in immediate
future which will aggravate present
conditions.

that the executor will originate some
plan for the use of the money. Accord
ing to the state law in the opinion OF
good lawyers the state could claim the
entire amount as the deceased has no
heirs and the will is not specific enough
to guide the executor in carrying out
the wishes of the deceased in disposlng
of the property for the wishes are nos
expressed and there seems to be no
adequate way of learning them now.
1t is likely, however. that in this case
the state will waive it's authority in
the matter and allow the property to be
distributed or disposed of for charit-
able purposes If there is any adequate
way to do it. If, however, the execu-
tor can not devise any plan and it
seems likely that the money and prop
erty will be wasted, the attorney gen.
