CODY MAY SUE GOULD.
Wants Him to Pay Loss en Katherine
 Clemmon's Starring Tears.

Denver. Col, Feb 22.-Unless Howard Gould settles a claim of S1JO.OOO against his wife, formerly Katherine Clemmons. for a deficit in a theatrical starring venture Colonel W. F. Cody will institute suit for recovery of the amount against the young million aire.
 Cody backed Katherine Clemmons as an actress twelve years ago. It was d business proposition with him and he believed there was money in it, but the enterprise failed.
 He started Miss Clemmons in Eng land in 1892 in ''Theodora.- The Lady of Venice" and Miss Doscott.- ond in the same plays in America during the season of 1Sy3-94. There was a short age of about S60.OO0 Cody-s contract with Miss Clemmons was that he would stand to lose S1O.00O above that amount. She was to bear the rest Of the loss.
 T do not believe it will come to a suit said Cody yesterday. T think that Nr Gould will arrange an amica- ble settlement The written contract is specific. and I am sure he will admit the justice of the claim Had Miss Clemmons not made a worthy mar riage I never would have called on her for the loss. but now she is amply able to make it good"

MAY GIL SHAW'S POSI TON.
Internal Revenue Commissioner Likely
To Get Treasury Portfolio.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The an
nouncement that Secretary Shaw will
retire from the cabinet next February
has created no stir in Washington,
for this date was fixed for his retire.
ment more than a year ago and an
nounced in the press at that time. The
secretary will return to Denison, Iowa,
to practice law and open his campaign
for the presidential nomination.
Nothing is known here regarding
his successor. At one time it was be-
lieved the president might appoint
Postmaster General Cortelyou, but
disclosures regarding campaign con-
tributions by New York insurance
companies are believed to have made
Cortelyou an impossibility. Secretary
Shaw himself is quoted as saying that
concerning itself with John w. Yerkes
commissioner of internal revenue, who
is, perhaps the most popular southern
republican in Washington. and every
way fitted for the treasury portfolio.
The president may give him the place
in furtherance of his policy of con-
sidering the south.
