Contract for Subsistence conces.
sion at Panama Confirmed
by President.
PROTESTS ARE ALL. IGNORED
No Further Action LikeIy-Many Mil
lions of Dollars Are In
voIved.

Oyster Bay Sept Is The contract
sion on the Panama canal zone, award
ed to Jacob E. Markell. of Omaha. Neb.,
by President Shonts. of the Panama
Railroad company, will stand. This, in
effect, is the decision of President
Roosevelt, who has approved the re-
port on the subject made to him by
Shonts.
Amounts to Millions.
The contract amounts, in the aggre-
gate. to many millions of dollars. but
Shonts' report indicates that it may
be abrogated at the will of the govern
ment. which actually will own the per-
manent plant used by Markell in filling
the terms of his contract.
Protest by Other Contractors.
The protest forwarded to the presi
dent by Hudgins & Dumas and II.
Balfe allege that they had not been
accorded fair treatment by Shonts and
that through leak in Shonts' office
Markell had been informed of the ma
ture of their proposal and had been
enabled thereby to incorporate in his
bid the menu which Hudgins & Dumas
had submitted.
No Further Action Likely.
Shonts' statement clears up these
to the satisfaction of the
president. and he, therefore. has ap-
proved of the report and no further
action concerning the protest probably
will be taken

Fargo, N. d., June 14.-The fear of

unfounded. The spores are found in
great quantities on the barberry bushes

tigating the situation and finds the
spores well developed.
With favorable weather for rust,
which means wet, muggy, cloudy days,
the rust will spread like wild6De. These
conditions have prevailed for some
time.
With dry, clear weather and wind,
the rust will not spread and no dan

SAYS Big LAWYER
LED DOUBLE LIFE
jerome Has Thomas p. Wickes,
Prominent at Gotham Bar,
Indicted. @
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
New York, June 14.-Thomas p.
Wickes, former assistant corporation
counsel, was indicted by. the grand
jury today on charge Of blackmail.
Behind the indictment is one Of the
most peculiar stories, according to Dis
trict Attorney Jerome, that he has han
died in his career.
Mr.. Wickes is a Yale graduate, a
member of a number of clubs, inolud-
ing the University, Lawyers New
York Athletic and others, and has large
practice.
The specific charge on which he was
indicted was that of writing blackmail-
ing letters under the name Of Lewis
Jarvis, a fictitious name, to his own
clients, telling them that their council
that is, himself-had advised them
wrongly. It is said that in a specific
instance he threatened to have the
client arrested if money was not forth
coming.
According to Mr.. jerome, Wickes has
been leading a Jekyll-Hyde life, and
as Jarvis, fictitious LAWYER. has criti-
cized his own work as Wickes.. Let
tiers. Mr.. Jerome says, are in his pos.
session giving positive proof that the
handwritings are similar.

s. RECOGNITION OF NORWAY Y!
President Roosevelt Is Giving Much
Thought to the Subject.
Nv W. W. .Iernnana
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, June 14.-Senator Dol
liver today laid before the president a
memorial from the convention of Nor
wegian societies which recently met at
Fort Dodge, urging the president to rec
ognize the diplomatic and consular rep
Of Norway when they appear in Wash
ington. Senator Dolliver presented the
memorial without Endorsement, and the
president received it without comment.
The president has given much thought
to the question of Norwegian recogni-
ton, which he believes will sooner or
later come up. At this time, however,
he is not quite clear as to what this
government should do. He is simply
awaiting developments.
After the Swedish riksdag, which
meets Juno 80, has determined Sweden IS
policy toward Norway, the question may
be less difficult than it is at present.

DIVORCE TANGLE
IN AUTO TRAGEDY.
Mrs. Hartley's Status as Divorce
or Widow of Victim with
.. the Kurtzmans.
New York Sun Special Service,

Chicago, June 14.-The status of Mrs.
Matte J.. Hartley as Divorce or wild
ow Of William A. Hartley, killed In the
automobile accident at the Rush street
bridge, Saturday night, will depend
suit now pending or allows it to go by
default.
If she allows it to 90 by default, a
divorce decree will be granted, because
Judge Patton cannot take judicial no.
tice of Hartley's death, but if she
fights the suit, evidence of her hus-
bands death will compel her recogni-
ton as widow and not divorce.
Judge Patton has receded from his posi-
tion to demand the production Of the
body, and will take no action until Mrs.
Hartley has had chance to be heard.
The conclusiveness of the evidence Of
death depends on the finding Of Hart
ley's body. Dragging the river has thus
far proved fruit1ess.
