forty years old, lived in the outskirts

in n comfortable way on her income
She was neither homely nor good look

in Iowa, and one day that sister ar
rived on a visit Her name was Han

was full of business. There were things
she wanted 10 know about almost be-
fore she had taken her bonnet off, and
there was one thing in particular that
she lost no time in bringing forward

The Hawkeve Battle Royal.

The Importance attaching to Repub-
lican happenings in Iowa may be as
sumed from the fact that Secretary Of
the Treasury Leslie NJ. Shaw has felt
it to be his duty to himself, his party
and his country TO turn the affairs of
his great department over to his sub
ordinateS in order to hasten to Iowa
and take the stump on behalf of the
stand patters in opposition to Governor
Albert b. Cummins, who is a candidate
for third term in the gubernatOriHl
chair and who, from the stand, pat

NEW YORK, April A man who
is known here as Henry N. Cody and
who had asserted several times he was
brother of Marie Corelli, the English
novelist. was found dead in the base
ment of house this morning.
He had lived in the place for five
years and ran a small laundry in the
basement. The body was found lean
ing over table in the laundry. The
police reported the case as a suicide
from the effects of morphine. Friends
of the dead man told the police they
had always understood Cody was
brother or stepbrother of Marie Corelli.
Cody had been asked a number of
times, they said, why he did not apply
for help to Miss Corelli. He invariably
replied all she could give him was
money and that was a thing he did
not require.
Marie Corelli was of Italian extrac-
tion and was adopted when baby only
a few months old by DR.. Charles
Mackay, the English poet and story
writer.
Until she assumed the name Corelli,
she was known as Marie Mackay.
Mackay had one son, Eric Mackay,

BERLIN, April 4.-Chancellor Won
Buelow today gave the following state
ment as to the result of the Algeceris
conference:
THE principle for equal privileges in
all countries of Morocco has been as
serted and maintained. This was the
contention of Germany from the begin
ming, the one thing that German dip
lomacy strove for. We have placed it
beyond our power to ask for anything
for Germany that we did not ask for all
countries. So powerful was this state
ment of the people cf the equal priv
ileges that France Great Britain and
all the countries admitted it at the
opening of the conference as regards
the open door for trade; but the ques-
ton arose, how was the door to be
held open? What guarantees could be
given that no one should afterward
step into the open door and block the
way?
Two guarantees only appeared ade.
quate > the German government,
namely international control of the
bank of Morocco and international su-
pervision of the police.
These guarantees have b n ac-
cepted by France and all the other par
ticipating countries"

FISHER CAUGHT FOR
PASSING BAD CHECK
Special to The Herald.

SAN DIEGO, April A rather un-
usual ending of an alleged swindling
operation is reported by the police, the
passer of a worthless check for $50 in
this city refunding the amount received
on it when apprehended en- route north.
The name of the man as signed on the
hotel register is w. c. Fisher of Los
Angeles. He came here about six days
ago and after day or two deposited
$50 in the Citizens Savings bank. On
the strength of this he is said to have
attempted to work off some checks
drawn on other banks. He did not
succeed until about ready to depart,
when he is alleged to have passed a
check on a Los Angeles bank on the
clerk of the Brewster hotel, where he
was stopping.
The worthlessness of the check was
not discovered until Fisher had left
town. it having to be sent to Los An
geles and came back dishonored The
wire was used to head off the enter
prising individual and he was held up
at Santa Ana by Constable Maxwell.
On being informed of the charges
against him, Fisher paid over an
amount sufficient to make good the
loss to the hotel.

Democrats Are EIated

ST. PETERSBURG April A. - The
victory of the constitutional Demo-
Gratis in the st. Petersburg municipal
elections has caused intense jubilation
in the radical press. The total num-
ber of votes was 6S,55S. Forty-six per
cent of the voters principally social
Democrats, abstained from casting their
ballots. AS joke, some of the social
Democrats voted for well known Lead
ers who are in prison or for Herr Bus
sci, the German socialist leader; NJ.
Jaures, the leader of the French So
cialists, or for other foreign socialist
leaders.
The victory of the constitutional
Democrats here was reflected by de-
preston on the bourse today, where
it was feared that there will be radical
ma jorty in the lower house of parlia-
ment that will drive the government
to extreme measures and probably to
the immediate prorogation of parlia-
ment and instead of restoring confi-
dence arouse the ire of the country
and make the general situation worse.
Many radicals believe that the triumph
of the constitutional Democrats will be
followed by increased repressions, espe
cially against the press.
Practically all the satirical weeklies
have been suppressed already and three
radical dailies have suspended during
the past three days.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The house
today listened to a criticism of the
president on the part of Mr.. Fitzgerald
of New York for the failure of the
chief executive properly to advise the
house as to the objection he has to
the bill opening sos. 900 acres of land
for grazing purposes in Oklahoma ter
ritory, instead of advising the members
of the Indian affairs committee as to
the weakness of the measure so that
it might be amended to meet the wishes
of the commissioner of Indian affairs.
Mr.. Fitzgerald in the course of the
structures on the president said:
"This is not Russia. The president
is not like the czar, who originates
and enacts legislation. The president
may recommend, but he can neither
originate nor enact legislation.
Someone may say this is trivial.
The history of all governments which
have parliamentary institutions shows
that the failure to resist trivial en-
croachments on the part of the chief
executive has led to vast encroach-
ments, until the legislative branch of
the government existed in name only"
The postoftice appropriation bill was
taken up but beyond the explanation
of the bill by the chairman of the post
office committee, Mr.. Overstreet no
headway on the measure was made.
Mr. Bartholdt of Missouri called up
the bill to incorporate the National
Northumberland Alliance of the
United States of America under the
laws of the District of Columbia. He
said the organization was most patri-
otic in character and had no political
significance whatever. 1t was an Amer
ican organization made up of Germans
who desired to help wherever possible
their brethren to a better understand
ing of American institutions.
Mr.. Hepburn objected and the bill
went over.

CAR AND CHINA
TIGHTLY LOCKED
NO AGREEMENT REACHED OVER
MANCHURIA
Russian Has Upper Hand, but China
Determined to Resent Encroachs
ments-DeaI Is Being Closely
Guarded
By Associated Press.


PEKING, April 4--The Russo-China
negotiations appear to have reached a
deadlock, At any rate they are drag
ging along slowly. M. Pokotiloff, the
Russian minister to China, and Tong,
the Chinese commissioner appointed to
negotiate an agreement with Russia
regarding northern Manchuria, have
conferred only two or three times dur
ing the past month.
Russia has the upper hand because
she holds nearly all the provisions she
contends for, while demanding that
China officially grant them.
The Chinese, on the contrary, are
also determined to Withstand all for
eign encroachments.
Both parties to the conference are
trying to keep the details as secret
as was the case with the Chinese
Japanese treaty.
One bone of contention is believed to
be the mining and other concessions
which the Tartar generals in Manchuria
gave to Russian corporations and which
Russia wants the Chinese government
to ratify
The Chinese insist that their govern
mert never sanctioned these conces-
sions and that therefore they are in
valid.
