SYNOD MEETS At AckLEx.
Iowa District Of the German Evanqeli
cal Synod of North America.

Iowa District Of the German EvanqeIi-
cal Synod Of North America.
Special to Ttmes-Republican:
Acxley, May 26.-The Iowa district
of the German Evangelical Synod Of
North America assembled at this
place for it's nineteenth annual con-
ference yesterday. The meetings We're
opened at 10 a. m. by a very impres-
sive service. Rev. K. Scheib, d. D., OF
Burlington, Iowa, preached a very
forceful sermon, making his topic:
'"The City of God and Its Eternal
Foundation.
Rev Kreuzenstein, of Tioga, served
at the altar. At 2 o'clock p, M, the
conference went into business meeting.
The moderator, Rev. Werning, of Low
den, opened by reading a short scrip
ture lesson and prayer. The roll
was called and answered to by. sixty
ministers and forty-seven delegates.
Then the moderator read his annual
report, giving clear synopsis over
the work in our midst. No rousing
facts nor glaring feats were reported
but a faithful working of ministers
and congregations could be proved.
The report of the board for Home Mis-
sion was read by Rev. j. JAMS, of Mus
catine. According to this all mission
churches are progressing nicely, some
of them having attained such strength
that they can go on without further
being supported. Rev. Kreuzenstein
read his report on superannuated min
listers and widows of deceased pastors.
Rev. Klimpke of Rock Island. reported
about the Orphans ard Old Peoples
Home at Benzenville, ILL.,, asking for
the liberal support of the conference.
Thereupon followed adjournment. Di-
vine services are held each night.

fered to sell out to "Pat'' Dennison and
was turned down by Tom. That he
was anxious to- have Bymes take
Price, the proprietor of the tobacon-
list shop, where Shercliffe worked in
Des Moines, and go to Omaha. That
they did go to Omaha and reported to
Shercliffe on their return that Denni-
son would not give up.
Civic Federation Money.
Some little sensation was created by
the evidence elected from the witness
as to money received from the civic
federation. He stated that he had re-
ceived checks from the secretary of the
federation "for expenses" Had re-
ceived money in check from Elmer
e. Thomas. Witness said it was for
Expenses" Asked if it wasn't for tes-
tifying against Dennison, said it was
not. Asked if he had not stayed to tes-
tify against Dennison whether he
would have received any money, said
he supposed not.
That Expense Account.
Most of Shercliffe's testimony bear
ing on the expense account was hear
say that Dennison had told or written
him. Dennison told him he had en-
ployed Charley Hepwell. Hepweil
came to see him in the penitentiary
Didn't talk about parole then with
Hepwell but of change of work in the
penitentiary.
Denniison told Shercliffe Of employ
ment of Mcmillan. He was to get
81 900 when he found out the parole
could be procured. Mcmillan raised
Dennison $1,000. Then Dennison
raised it $500 in his account.
Shercliffe had told of conversations
with Dennison in which Dennison told
him diamonds were off color only fit
for dog collars, etc. These state
ments of Dennison's he concluded We're
intended to deceive him as to the value
of the stolen property.
All Wednesday afternoon the wit
ness and Attorney Connell scuffied
over the same ground 1t was the
same Thursday morning. Shercliffe
traced his movements for the inter-
vening time between his first ac-
quaintance with Dennison and the
conviction at Logan over and over.
He was less confused than the attor-
ney. Only once or twice did he lose
control. Once when Conneli was
crowding him to confess an allega-
ton of crime Shercliffe half rose and
glaring at Dennison said that man.
wants to get some evidence to get
me with after this trial" Dennison
leaned forward and glared back.

Chicago May 26.-With the fftleth
day of the teamsters strike comes m
creasingly serious apprehension OF
huge spread of the industrial disorder.
| The lumber districts and its dependeh>
cies hold the key. The carpenters are
rastive and some are refusing to con-

used, The carpenters district councll
has NOT ordered action, but fifteen
thousand carpenters may be involved

attitude. Tonight the associated build

Chicago May 26.-Strike riots were
begun today in the neighborhood OF

Morgan streets, twenty lumber and

SECRETARY sHAw'S PROGRAM.
TRegister and Leader.]

Secretary Shaw believes in trade ar
rangements with foreign nations, but
believes dn making them with a chip
on his shoulder. Instead Of going
forth in a conciliatary spirit to encour-
age friendly trade relations, he would
announce to the world that those who
are not satisfied with the treatment
they are now receiving will be shut out
of the American market altogether.
Secretary Shaw makes this distinc-
tion between reciprocity and a max
inum and minimum tariff, reciprocity
would provide concessions to friendly
neighbors in return for like con-
cesssions, the maximum and min
inum tariff would force neighbors
to be decent or lose what they already
have. Reciprocity would take the
Dingley schedules, as their authors in
tended as a maximum, and would all
low reductions for compensating adj
vantage abroad Secretary Shaw
would take the Dmgley schedules as a
minimum, which their authors did not
contemplate, and would then adopt a
retaliatory tax in addition, to be levied
on all who make discrimnSinations in
favor of our competitors. Reciprocity
takes into account the American con-
sumer. The secretary evidently re-
CARDS him pawn in the game to be
moved without whimpering
The difference is one of attitude.
Those who have never been able to
see what Blaine meant when he urged
the annexation of markets have never
seen it, and that is the end of the ar
gument. On the other hand, those who
have seen what Blaine meant have
never been satisfied with the short
sighted politics that have been advo-
Gated by stand patters, and never Will
consent to programme of trade re-
taliation and commercial war. Secre-
tary Shaw never has had any difficulty
in making himself cleary understood.
The more his programme is published
by himself. the less there is in 1t to
commend it TO the intelligent repubM-
can sentiment of state like Iowa.
