JUSTICE FOR IOWA REGIMENTS
Governor Cummins Appeals to the War
Department.

DIES MONIES, Jan. An Governor
A B. Cummins' final appeal to the war
department for proper recognition on
Shiloh battlefield monuments and tab
lets for veterans of the Fifteenth and
Sixteenth Iowa regiments, the COVER
nor exposes the lack of courtesy and
justice which has been extended to
Iowa by the Shiloh commission, and
roundly scores Major Reed, secretary
Of the commission.
A spirited correspondence has been
made public in which Major Reed
charges that Iowans have send inscrip-
tons to be placed on tablets and that
careful investigation shows that Iowa
claims are untrue. Major Reed gives
the governor calling down for try
ing to secure consent of the war de-
partment to have the inscriptions
placed on battlefield tablets. Having
written history of the battle of Shi-
lob, with which claims of Iowa SOL
diers do not agree, Major Reed declines
to give in.
The governor has now addressed to
Secretary Oliver the following curt and
breezy letter:
Governor Is Caustic.
Il do not dare to hope that Major
| Reed would take any other view of our
| case than he has. He has arranged the
battle of Shiloh to suit himself, as
signed every regiment, company and
possibly every man in his place there
and if an angel from heaven should
bring down the eternal records and
they should be found to be inconsistent
with Major Reeds findings, believe
he would without a moments nesita-
ton, reject the testimony of Omni-
science. He is absolutely Indifferent
to the humiliations which he proposes
to inf1ict upon these regiments
Il have presented a showing whicf
would convince any court ever organ
lied with the truth of my contentious
AS l stated to you when had the hon.
or to be accorded a personal inter.
view, l am perfectly willing to have
the time of the engagement in tn.
manner shown in the inscriptions las
sent you. Major Reed says that som,
of the statements of the Inscription
reply is that all the statements ar,
true. To me (and / have had twenty
five years experience in the trial o
contested matters of fact) it is unfai
to say that the inscriptions propose,
would impeach the record of ever,
monument and tablet of every regi
ment and battery of Sherman's AM
McClerand's divisions"
Secretary Oliver will be given fur
Their testimony to prove the part which
the Fifteenth and Sixteenth regiment
had in the early morning fighting a
Shiloh if he asks for it. The COVER
nor hopes that the secretary of wa
will overrule the commissioners. Ii
that event the controversy will go t,
the president and congress for final ad
Indication.

Immigrants. says DIR. Dlaustein.

David Blsu tein, superintendent Of the
Educational Alliance in the Jewish quarter
Of the lower East Side, spoke at a special
service OF the Park Avenue Methodist
Episcopal Church last evening on "Our
Responsibilities Toward the Russian Jewish
Immigrants" DR.. Blaustein rather startled
some OF his hearers by denouncing vigor

he sald. were brought to bear upon the
Russian jew as soon as he arrives here
Il would put my opinion as to what are
the responsibilities Of Americans toward
the Jew INTO a negative form, said DR..

He will work out his own destiny in his own
way. In fact ! would put all my advice

Russian Jew into a series Of Don'ts. Don't

FALSE TEETH IN EVIDENCE.
New Way TO Collect Old Debts Leads to
Gottiob's Arrest.

William Gottlob, middle aged man who
lives at 3li Second avenue, was In the York
vile police court yesterday charged with
the larceny OF a dental bridge containing
seven artificial teeth with gold crowns
He Is a dealer In dental supplies at IFS TO
l2l East Fifteenth street.
His arrest was caused by Bernard Brom-
berg, who has a painless parlor1 at 1894
Third avenue and who had constructed
the artificial teeth. which lie declared were
worth 500.
From the evidence laid before Magistrate
Baker it appears that Gottob went TO the
Office Of the dentist a month ago and ordered
the teeth. He gave the name of Mr..
Brown. The work was completed Satur-
day night and the customer called Mt the
office. They were satisfactory and the
customer said:
We'll. guess we had better settle ehi"
He held out piece OF paper TO the
dentist.
That's my bill for $40, which you owe
me-" he exclaimed. You can deduct $40
and give me the other 500
The customer then explained that he
was not Brown, but Gottlob, formerly
Of the firm Of Raymond Il Gottlob. which
had sold $40 worth of dental supplies some
time ago.
The dentist declared that he did not owe
the money and demanded the return Of his
bridge work. The customer refused to give
back the teeth, and said he guessed he'd
be going. The dentist caught him by the
arm
By this time the other persons in the
place took an interest in the dispute. There
was a tugging match, while the Office boy
went out and got Policeman Mussmacher
Upon the policeman's arrival the dentist
gave his customer the choice of surrender
ing the teeth or being locked up on a charge
OF larceny. The customer refused to sur
render the goods and was taken 20 the
East Sixty-seventh street station.
The defendant had handed to the police
man the disputed bridge and 1t was laid
on the desk before the Magistrate after the
buyer had told his story.
The dentist declared that that particular
bill had been sold when the firm dissolved
partnership and he paid it.
Il believe you are a reputable business
man and your claim may be Just one, but
that IL not the legal way in which to collect
payment said the Magistrate He held
the defendant for trial on the larceny charge
viii you kindly let me have the teeth,
your Honor?' asked the defendant.
-1bey are part of the evidence said
the Magistrate, and | must give them
into the custody Of the policeman until
the trial.

a Brother or the Late Senator David
Davis Is buried al Public Expense.

GENEsEo, y. Y. Jan. 20-Joel Davis
a brother Of David Davis, the late jurist
and United States Senator from Illinois
died here few days ago in the poorhouse
at the age of OF years. He was committed
to the county's charge three years ago
from Caledonia, where he had spent the
greater part OF his life working as a stone
mason.
Senator Davis, when he died. was reputed
to be a wealthy man, but it is doubtful
whether he knew anything about the cir
oumstances Of his brother. Joel, although
his work in life was most humble, was
a man Of not a few accomplishments and
very proud IL used to be his boast that
he would never seek help from his brother.
He related once how he had gone to
Illinois to see the Senator. maid met
him at the door Of the house and asked for
his card He told her he had never owned
such a thing. The maid refused to admit
him but said she would speak TO the Senator.
Senator Davis. she reported a few minutes
later, had said that the visitor must send
in his name first.
Il bowed politely to the girl. old Joel
used to say, -bade her good day and got
away from there as fast as | could
The old man had spent the savings Of
several months in making the trip West
but he returned without making another
attempt to sec his brother. 1t is doubtful
whether Senator Davis ever knew who

the servant was. Joel was buried in the
