In a conference between Gov. CT =

Shiloh monument question, 1t was de.
cided to reopen the controversy regard
ing the inscriptions concerning the
Iowa veterans, and attempt to arrive at
a just decision. The results of the talk
were entirely satisfactory to the gov

In April, was set for the thorough in
yestigation Of the matter. It was dur
ing the first week in April that the bat
tie of Shiloh was fought, and this fact,
in connection with the date for the in

LEGISLATURE MUST

COURT ON FIGHT FOR GOV !.
ERNoRsHIP. Z.
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
CANNOT BE SEATED
Assembly Must Choose Between Con-
testor and Contestee - Decision
Supplies situation-Adams May
Continue in Office.

Denver, Col, March 15.-The Colorado
supreme court Monday ruled that the
joint convention of the legislature can
der of the gubernatorial contest commit
tee, declaring that neither Alva Adams
nor former Gov. Peabody was elected
governor at the November election. Il
is the decision of the supreme court that
the assembly must decide the contest b.
tween the confession and contestee, and
cannot consider seating Lieut.. Gov. Nc
Donald as governor. The opinion was .
majority report, Justice Robert w.
Steele holding that the assembly should
itself rule upon the motion to adopt the
Alexander report. The legislature took
no action on the contest Monday.
Decision simpliAes Situation.
The decision has simplifed the situa-
ton by eliminating the proposition to
seat Lieut.. Gov. Jesse F. Mcdonald as
governor. There is now before the
Joint convention Of the general as
sembly clear-cut issue between Gov.
Alva Adams and James H. Peabody,
confession. The joint assembly must
say which of these candidates for the
governorship was elected, or by de-
clining to give any decision in the con-
test, leave Gov. Adams in the chair.
Peabody's supporters have endeavv
ored to make his contest political is
sue, but at least one-third Of the S.
republican members Of the general as
sembly have refused to be bound by any
action on the question in caucus. TWEEN
ty-two republicans were united in f..
yor of Senator Morton Alexander's 70,
port, declaring vacancy, which the
supreme court has decided cannot be
legally adopted. Should five Of those
now fall in line with the other ~ Fe-
publicans for Peabody, he would have
a majority Of the joint convention,
which consists Of 81 members. and
would be declared elected. On the
other hand, Gov. Adams requires the
votes of 1S republicans in addition "a
the 81 democratic votes to give him z
majority on joint ballot. However, \
Is republicans refuse to vote for either
the Peabody or the Adams report from
the contest committee neither Of ths
contestants will have majority, and
Gov. Adams will continue in Office.
The joint convention Tuesday ~
. tened to the reading Of the supreme
!, courts opinion, and then, on motion q

. body, took recess until Wednesda,

|OWAN TO HOLO JOB
MAHIN, NOTTINGHAM CONSUL,
STILL OCCUPIES POSITION.
DoBsoN FIGURES IN ERROR
Former Secretary of This State Given
Friends Position, But Mistake
Is Discovered and Righted
by the President.
Especial correspondence.l


Des Moines, Ia, March 13.-Mystery
which surrounded the appointment of
former Secretary of State George l..
Dobson, of this city to the position Of
consul at Nottingham, England, and the
deposing of Frank w. Mahin, Of Clinton,
who now occupies the position, has been
cleared by the announcement OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt, who made the selection.
that he had no intention of forcing Ma
hin out, but that an error had been
made by the state department in giving
out the appointments, and that the rec
ords would be recalled and another Of
fee written opposite the name Of the
former secretary of state. The APP
pointment was made last week, and
caused great CONSERVATION in political
circles here and in the Iowa delegation
ut Washington, because OF the TACT mat
both men were Iowans. No one had
known that Mahin was to give up his po-
sition, and for nearly week political
lights were kept in suspense. Omcial-
ly the announcement was made in the
following words: George L. Dobson
to take the place of Frank w. Mahin. re-
signed" Both men in this comedy Of
errors, which came near being tragedy
for Mahin, are Iowans with records
which are known all over the country
as we'll as the state. Mahin was for
years editor of the Clinton Herald, while
Dobson's career in Iowa began with q
term in the legislature followed by -four
years as secretary of state, and then
comes his acceptance Of a consular po-
sition. Another Iowan, Secretary Shaw
Of the treasury, has announced the date
of his retirement from the cabinet fol
February, 1906. After his term 10 ended
he Will come back to his home in
Denison and launch his boom for the
presidency in 1908. President Roose
welt asked the secretary to remain a
the head Of the treasury department II
case Of the election of the republican
party, and to this he consented, witt
the stipulation that he be allowed to re
tire in February, 1906.

No matter what decision, regarding
the biennial elections law may be made
by the supreme report at the end Of the
month, the next state convention Of the
republicans, whether 1t be held in 1905
or 1906, will have 1,641 delegates. The
number will be identical with that Of the
famous convention Of 1901, when the
governor was frst nominated. If the
supreme court upholds the Story coun-
ty court in its decision, the convention
will be held in 1906, and by districts the
