Concerning Henry Lee willie
Auditor: We find that dg ing
his term as Auditor he has, with
few exceptions, never checked
over the statements of condi-
tions of funds as submitted to
him by the Treasurer, although
he has duly certified to the
same. He has, in this particu-
lar, certified to several such
statements as being correct in
their condition and totals, when
it is a fact they were and are
grossly in error. We submit
that this practice is careless and
negligent in every way and is an
absolute derelction Of the duties
of his office as Auditor"
The Assessor is given a few
digs on the unsystematic manner
in which he has conducted the
business Of his office and the
Commissioners are reminded
that in several instances their
official duties have been perform
ed ''in a careless, incompetent
ane negligent manner and
that there is sufficient evidence
to convince this committee that
there has been gross eXtrava-

has already made it known that he will
not take the craftsmanship under any
circumstances. The next in order is
Mr.. Hansbrough. fter him comes Sen
ator Ankeny of Washington, but there
will be great opposition to his appoint
ment, on the ground that more active
man is needed. Mr.. Ankeny has taken
no part in the senate proceedings since
he became member and does not
even enjoy the reputation of being a
working member" Of the senate.
After Mr.. Ankeny there is only one
man left on the present irrigation COM
mittee, and that is Mr.. Fulton of Ore
gon. Oregon is the home of the land
frauds, and although Mr.. Fulton has
kept out of the scandals. there is a
feeling among some of the members
of the senate that IL would be better to
appoint another man.
The committee on committees of the
senate will probably assign four new
Republican members of the irrigation
committee, and one of the new MEM
bers may be appointed 10 the chair
manship.
In case Senator Hansbrough should
finally decide to take the chairman
ship, he could probably be Of some
service to his state in this connection.
North Dakota has contributed more
than any other state TO the federal ir-
rigation fund, through the sales Of
public lands, and there are some re-
clamation projects in this state which
he could probably help along in case he
took the influential place at the head Of
the senate irrigation committee.

UPRISING OF ASIATIC
TRIBES IS IMMINENT
Outbreak of Anti-Foreign Element
in Northern Persia Signifies Addi-
tiOnal Embarrassment for the Car
---Shah Is PoWeriess to Check the
Movement

Special Cable to The Globe.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 2s.-The
outbreak of an anti-foreign movement
In northern Persia, briefly reported in
today's kilograms from Meshed. arouses
the gravest misgivings. Everyone sees
a connection between the attacks on
Russian subjects In Persia and Russian
defeats in Manchuria.
A general uprising OF Asiatic tribes
under Russian rule is apprehended.
The news from Persia evokes renewed
speculation regarding the real cause
OF the Baku massacre and other COL
lisions between Persians and Armen-
ians. Ii is now believed that the mas
sacres are traceable to the same cause
which produced the outrages at Mes
he'd. where Armenians are regarded as
Russians. The shah evidently realizes
the strength of the present anti-for-
eign movement, but is powerless TO
check il. Russia is thus destined 10
reap the fruits of promoting weak gov
ernment in Persia.

Mr.. Eddy said the Standard would

asmuch as the Kansas daily production

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Deaths
and retirements from the senate have
played havoc with several of the i'm
portant committees in that body, and a
thorough organization will be neces-
sary at the beginning of the new con-
gress next winter. Senator Hansbrough
has an embarrassment of riches in re-
spect to the number of chairmanships
that are open TO him. He is at present
at the head of the important commit
tee on public lands, but there is a
strong desire that he take the chair
manship of the committee on irriga-
tion and reclamation of arid lands. He
can also be chairman of the committee
on agriculture, of which he is the rank
ing member now, in case he chooses to
give up his other Craftsmanship. Sen

There is an embarrassing situation in
regard to the irrigation committee.
Senator Bard, the chairman, is no long

Stewart voluntarily retired to private
life. Senators Kearns and Dietrich are
also down and out. The first man on

people interested in Kansas oil fields
are given a straight tip from the white
house to call off the notoriety seekers
from that state who have been rushing
into print anent the designation of
Commissioner Garfield to carry on the
investigation required by the Campbell
resolution. The president feels that
he has gone more than half way to
meet the desires of Kansas oil pro-
ducers for square deal, but does not
like to have the good faith and COM
petence of this investigator challenged
at the very start
Roosevelt believes great injustice has
already been done Commissioner Gar
field owing to the fact that half of the
latter's report on the beef trust was
suppressed in the interest of criminal
prosecutions against packers. When
Kansas Jumps to the conclusion that
Garfield will not do a proper job in
Kansas the president thinks they are
previous. Moreover, he does not like
their methods. He has been willing to
hear from anybody with anything to
say, but all that has been said has
been bruited in the newspapers and
not an official communication has
reached the white huse.
