SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY
ESQ GIVES HIS OPINION or A
DEMOCRAT.

Chicago, Feb. 1S.--Secretary Of the
Treasury Leslie M. Shaw and the
Merchants Association have been
writing letters to each other about
the ship subsidy bill now before con,
gress, which the association opposes,
In his first letter to the association
Secretary Shaw says: i Er Ha09 ~
II can readily understand how a
democrat should claim that the only
way to find a market for our surplus
is to increase our imports. The demo
cratic theory has always been that ii
we will import a greater quantity OF
merchandise than we now produce
we will then find a ready outlet for
all our surplus"
In its answer the association de,
MES being political in any sense and
declares its willingness to support a
ship subsidy measure of the kind that
will benefit no special class but will
develop the American ship-building
industry, which, it claims, is a pub
lie necessity. a7g taa Pill

Sigourney, Ia, Feb. 1S.-The fam
Gus Bruns-Klett damage suit was set
tied out Of court, Mr.. Klett paying
Mr.. Bruins $50.10 and costs OF the
case up to this date. This case grew
out of a divorce suit in the district
court last fall. Mrs. Bruins brought
action against her husband, Fred
Bruins, charging him with cruel and
inhuman treatment. In the trraN
witnesses for the defense testified
that they had seen Mrs. Bruins in the
company of Mr.. G.. Klett on several
occasions and that their relations
were such as to create a neighDor
hood talk, Mrs. Bruins, however, sc.
cured a divorce on what may be
termed a compromise decree and Mr.
Bruins at once brought action fol
damages against M. Klett, charging
him with alienation of the affections
of his wife and asking $4,000 as a
compensation for such affections
The case was called last week and
continued tn today, when the com

uToPIAN SOCIAL.
Ladies of Presbyterian Church GIVE
& Delightful Entertainment"

The Utopian ladies of the First
Presbyterian church enjoyed another
very successful social last evening at
the residence of John o. Malcolm on
North Eighth street, The &c" ladies
presided as hostesses of the evening,
Mrs. Ed. Clifford, Mrs. DBL. Cole
and Mrs. Leroy Corlett. Mrs. W.
FL. Heating of the *" ladies was
also one of the entertainers on &C
count of the labor necessary.
The social was called a valentine
party and about seventy-five guests
were present to enjoy the fun of the
evening, and fun there was in gen.
erous supply. The room Of the
house were deliberately decorated
with red hearts and red carnations.
The guests were given a scrap OF pa
per and a scissors and instructed to
cut out a heart with their eyes clos
ed. Judges were appointed and the
prize for the best heart thus produc'
ed was awarded to Mrs. l.. N. John
son of the ladies and to DR.. Riley for
the gentlemen. The scissors were
now again employed in cutting out
comic valentines and partners fol
supper were found by matching the
results Of the ''snippering." This
part of the evenings entertainment
furnished an exhaustless source Of
amusement. 4a~a.a 1a7H.t, siE 80
When the company came to the
supper table here was also a sur
prise. Everything was in the shape
OF Hearts. The brown bread sand
witches were heart shaped. The cab
bage salad on a lettuce leaf was top
ped by a little red heart cut from 6
slice of beet The cold meat was
calves tongue cut heart shaped
The ice cream contained the figure
of a red heart and the cake that &C
companied the cream was also in the
shape of a heart. Everyone was de
lighted with the entertainment. Ev
cry social yet seems to be better
than its predecessor and the ladies
have been wondering where the Tito
plans are going to end their series
There has never been anything IL

OWES STATE OF IOWA
ARMOUR MAY BE CALLED UPON
TO PAY $i5.ofs INccRPoRA-
ToN FEES.

#E.EFAMM. NsF MrENaF NMH MIMI WNH AMa EMMH
Des Moines, Feb. 1S.-According to
the testimony Of George B. Robbins,
president of the Armour Car Lines,
before the subcommittee OF the
house on interstate commerce the
Armour car line company owes the
state Of Iowa something like $15,015
and an effort may be made to collect
it. According to the reports of the
testimony the company is capitalized
at $15,O00,000 According to the rec
ords Of the secretary of state Offices
the company is capitalized for only
100000. The articles of incorpora-
ton were fled here in 1901, and at
that time the state could not charge
more than $4,000 in any event, but
the law is now d~ifferent. According
to President Robbins testimony the
company is adding 100000 to its
capitalization each year. And the
fee is 81 per thousand for all increase
in the capitalization. With a capital.
ization OF SIS, 900, 900 the company
should have paid the state Of Iowa
$15,O15, but instead they have paid
the state only on the capitalization
of $1,000 or about, Sis! Henry
'Saverson of the office of the secre-
tarys of-state is about to take the
matter up and see If the rest of the
money a not be collected.
