THE DISPUTE In IOWA
REPUBLICAN APPREHENSION OF
EFFECT ON CLOSE DISTRICTS.

In well-informed administration circles II
is believed that the suggestion that the
republican factional trouble in Iowa be
left to arbitration of the republican nation
al committee will not be favorably received.
Mr.. Perkins, head of one of the factions,
made the proposition, which was not adopt
ed by Governor Cumrnns, the other fac
zionist, and now some of the Iowa papers
are berating the national committee be-
cause it does not step in and stop the
fight.
1t is pointed out in this connection that
the republican national committee has con-
sistently taken the stand that it would not
interfere in state factional quarrels. 1t Is
recalled that several weeks ago the two
factions in Tennessee agreed to leave their
trouble to the national chairman's arbi-
tration, and formally requested his ser
vices in the capacity of arbitrator.
The national chairman positively refused
to take over the task, and in doing SO an
nounced that it was not the desire or inten-
ton of the national committee to interfere
In local politics. He made an earnest ap-
peal for harmony, but laid down the propo-
sition that 1t was for the republicans or
Tennessee in open convention to settle the
differences and not for the national COM
mittee. 1t is thought that the same rule
will apply In the Iowa case.
II Ia not to be denied that the admins
tration is very much concerned over the
Iowa situation 1t Is a bad mess and unless
the differences can be composed may De
fruitful OF much evil to the republican
party. The congressional campaign man
ayers fear that the sQuabDie may Jeopardlze
one or two representatives in Congress In
the coming election. The second Iowa dis
trict went republican by only 1856 plurality
in the latest election and there Is q strong
democratic vote in one or two districts
where the republicans may split.
But 1t Is considered pretty certain that the
republican factionists will have to work out
their own salvation without any help from
the national committee or from Oyster Bay.
There is bad situation in Pennsylvania
for the republicans and the congressional
campaign managers are very fearful that
they will lose some representatives. The
finn fam game that Boss Penrose worked
on the republican state convention, after
promising to be good. is making a faction
of republicans madder the more they think
of 1t. The managers look for trouble as
sure as sparks fly upward.

AT OYSTER BAY TODAY
PREMIER OF NEW ZEALAND
GUEST OF PRESIDENT.

OYSTER BAY, n. Y, July 6.-Presidept
Roosevelt will entertain at luncheon today
Sir Joseph George Ward, premier of New
Zealand. His engagement with the Presi-
dent was arranged through Sir Mortimer
Durand, the British ambassador. Before
proceeding to the Pacific coast, whence he
is to sail for New Zealand, Sir Joseph will
visit Washington, meet Postmaster General
Cortelyou. and make a thorough study of
the administration of the American postal
system.
On arriving at Oyster Bay, and before
proceeding to Sycamore Hill in the Pres
ident's carriages, Sir Joseph Ward said he
was most interested in discussing with
the President the possibility of negoti-
ating a reciprocity treaty between the
United States and New Zealand. The lat
ter country he said, has surplus of wool
and gum. New Zealand, Sir Joseph said,
could negotiate a treaty with the United
States without reference to the British
government and he was prepared to take
the official preliminary steps in that
matter and was anxious that such steps
should be taken before he leaves the
country. He said he should endeavor to
leave the matter in the hands of the Brit
ish embassy at Washington on his de-
parture from the country.

before her marriage, the second was five
months after it,
In each instance, according to the chauf-
feur, she was taken from a restaurant to
her hotel and in neither case did White
accompany her.
Burns says that he was engaged by
White in the latter part of January 1905.
to drive his electric cab between the hours
of pm. and am, and continued in his
employ until the latter part of September
