KRETSCHMER TO BE
A BANK EXAMINER
Shaw's Part in the Trade to Hurt
Cummins Becomes Public
Property.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Sioux City, Iowa, June Absolute
confirmation was obtained today of the
story published in last Sundays Jour
nal, that Secretary Shaw is the man
who made possible the miracle of poll
tics whereby Fred Kretschmer, the
Cummins candidate for state treasurer,
practically assured Of the nomination,
withdrew from the race and then, af-
ter being empowered by convention
controlled by Cummins men to choose
Dubuque county's delegation to the
state convention, chose Perkins dele
cation. S .- ~
1t has been learned positively that
kretschmer is to be given a federal
| office in the gift of Secretary Shaw,
just as was surmised in r h Jou r.
ma The Waterloo Times Tribune, a
Perkins supporter, yesterday recorded a
in the same issue said it had been
learned in confidence that KretschmeI
is to be made national bank examiner
The national bank examiners are ap
pointed by the controller of the cur
rency with the approval of the secretary
of the treasury In the case Of Iowa
Shaw would make all such appointments
himself. Thus it becomes evident that
when Ed Hunter went to Washington
to arrange the deal it was Shaw whom
he visited. - -.
This clears the skirts of Allison, who
declared up and down he had. prom
lsed kretschmer nothing, but it will
have the effect of estranging still
more the Cummins faction from Shaw
and if the Cummins men have tn,
power they will assuredly prevent Thu
state from lining up for Shaw TO
president.

PLAIN CLOTHES MEN ARE
GIVEN NEW STATIONS

Some Of the 1ong-expected police
changes that have worried detectives
and patrolmen were made today by Po-
lice Superintendent Doyle.
No one will leave the force and the
change only affects four men. Detec-
tives Crummey and Brundage, who have
been working out Of headquarters, will
be transferred to the fifth precinct and
Detectives Fox and Bezanson of the
fifth precinct will replace them.
Several other changes were expected
and they may come sometime this
month, but those announced today were
the only ones that have already gone
into effect. A general reorganization of
the detective force has been hanging
fire for some time:
Detectives Fox and Bezanson have
never worked out Of headquarters and
the change is said to have been made to
give them an opportunity to get accus,
toned to the strenuous life before the
opening Of the G. A. R. encampment.

JUST HAPPENED INTO
A P0LICEMAN'S HOUSE

George Jones had some explaining to
do yesterday when he found himself
inside the residence of Patrolman John
Irving at 1923 Summer street NE. e
Jones, according to Irving's story,
entered the house without permission
and was walking about the lower floor
when the officer came downstairs in
plain clothes. AS soon as the two men
met Jones asked where the work was
= "'What work9'' asked Irving.
Then Jones began his story, saying
that he had been sent to the house to
do some plumbing work, and that he
must have made a mistake. He be-
came confused in the explanation, and
Irving began to think that a mistake
had been made. Accordingly, Jones
was taken to the East Side station,
where he told Captain Quealey that he
was employed by a downtown plumb
ing firm and that he had just COM
pleted three jobs in Northeast Min
neapolis. The plumbing firm denied
that he had ever worked for them, and
Jones was unable to find the houses
where he. had done the work. He was
locked up at Central station, charged
with vagrancy, and will be arraigned
in police court tomorrow.

SHAW IN IOWA

Minis Mr.. Shaw viii Il spend spend on one day day
in the state, and will follow out a
strenuous program which has been out
lined for him by the Perkins managers.
he will speak Saturday afternoon at
Newton, the. seat of Jasper county. and
In the evening at Knoxville in Marion
the district of Congressman Lacey, a
strong protectionist. Mr. Shaw pre-
sumably was invited to Offset the
threatened invasion of Senator R. M.
I'aFollette of Wisconsin in the interest
of Governor Cummins.
The contest between the republican
factions, has now reached the most acute
f f1s of the hee pa7g Nv Resperate H
and Perkins forces to carry the eau
cuses which are being held this week.
Results which will be known by Sun
day may clear up the contest, which is
now decidedly muddled. A Cummins
victory in the doubtful caucuses on Sat.
urday will be taken to mean that the
loss of Story, Black Hawk, -Poweshiek
and Lucas counties will be almost fatal
to the cause Of the Sioux City candidate
The contest in Story county, where
the caucuses will be held Saturday, is
at fever heat. Having carried two
counties in the governors own district
Madison and Warren, the Perkins forces
are exerting all their strength toward
adding Story to their list. At the gov
@ernor's headquarters, however, there is
every confidence that the county will
remain true to Cummins. The coun
ties holding caucuses this week are
Adair, Wright, Lucas, Franklin, Story
Black Hawk, Hardin and Poweshiek.
f. The governor now has 627 delegates
instructed for him. The number &C
credi ted to Perkins is 400, not counting
the sixty delegates in Chicasaw, Des
Moines and Wapello counties, where
there are contesting delegations. Cap
tain S. W. Rathbun (standpat) has TO-
instructed delegates. The total anti
Cummins strength is placed variously
at 5S3 or 643, depending on whether tn
delegations from the counties in which
contests have developed, are counted
against the governor. In these three
counties the standpatters appear tt
have the best Of the argument.
The number of delegates necessary t.
secure tho nomination is 821. Cum
minis needs only 1914 more votes to in
sure victory for him. There are TWEEN
ty-two more counties, having total O.
1850 delegates, still to hold caucuses.

CALLS ON CHURCHMEN
TO CONSERVE HONESTY

The diocesan council Of the Episcopal
church of Minnesota, in session at Geth-
semane church, today adopted a reso.
luton declaring that it "deems it q
fitting time for calling the attention of
the churchmen and all those over whom
this church eXerts an influence, that in
view of the increase Of the wealth Of
the people of our land, and their. great
desire to gain wealth rapidly, there has
been abundant evidence of a weakening
in certain quarters in the strong virtue
of honesty which issvital to the Ameri-
can land. Positions Of trust have been
WITHOUT realization of wrongs
thereby committed. The fine sense
of honor which we American .peo-
pie have inherited from our fore
fathers must not be impaired. In view
Of this conditioned affairs, it is tho
dly of the church to speak her mine!
clearly and: with fearless words, to in
culcate honesty as 1907 cardinal virtue,
and to make it plain to churchmen that
religion must not be separated from
commercial life AS church, we are
to judge ourselves before we may hope
to speak with power in the land.'
Rev. Theodore Sedgwick of St. Paul
late yesterday, it Immediately precip.
itated a heated debate. Many of the
clergymen believed the inference that
church members were not carrying
their religious principles into their re.
igious life was nudeserved, and op.
posed the resolution as it was offered
But today it passed.
The council. took unprecedented &C
ton this morning when it elected Judge
Isaac Atwater honorary member Of its
standing. committee: Since the first
council, forty-nine years ago, Judge At,
water, has been lay member of the
| standing committee.
St. Paul was chosen for the fiftieth
jubilee session of the council, which
will be celebrated next year.

PEOPLE CROSSING TRACKS
MUST WATCH FOR CARS

Martin E. O'Brien, who sued the St.
Paul City Railway company because of
injuries alleged to have been sustained
thru the negligence of the company's
motorman in failing to stop his car in
time to avoid running him down, loses
his case in the supreme court. The
court holds that the man on the ground
is bound to look after his own safety
to some extent, and in failing to do SO
he is guilty of contributory negligence
The syllabus follows:
A pedestrian, about to cross two
streetcar tracks on which he has seen
two cars approaching in opposite direc-
tions at a rapid rate of speed, who
passes behind one and undertakes to
cross in front Of the other advancing to-
ward him is not bound to anticipate
negligence on the part Of the motoneer:
but he is not absolved from the duty of
exercising reasonable care to avoid be-
ing struck by the advancing car.
|, His failure to exercise such care con-
stitutes contributory negligence and
bars his right to recover for consequent
personal injuries.
Under the circumstances of this case,
the conduct Of the plaintiff is held to
have constituted contributory negli-
gence as matter of law.
Order affirmed. -Jaggard J.

LUMBERMEN SEE
MENACE IN DAMS
FEAR LOG DRIVES AND STEAM
BOATS WILL BE HAMPERED.
Proposed Power Plants on the Upper
Mississippi Are Regarded as Threat
ening to Block Navigation and I'm
pede the Boom and Sawmill Com
panies Unless Government Requires
Locks,

Minnesota lumbermen and the boom
company that handles all logs for the
local mills and manages the drives,
are aroused over the many proposed
power plants, in the Mississippi river
from Minneapolis to Brainerd. Every
dam that is built increases and de-
lays the work Of handling the drives
Unless the dams are provided with
locks, the boom company's steamers
river and navigation will be seriously
impeded. Several new power dams are
contemplated, and the lumbermen and
boom companies will put up an active
fight to have them equipped with all
necessary appliances for handling
steamboats, and logs.
While the Minneapolis lumbermen are
not directly interested, as all driving
and handling Of logs. for the Mime
pany, their interests are identical with
those of the boom company. If the
company is unable to get logs past the
dams without great loss of time, saving
operations in the city are delayed
thereby. The boom company has sew
eral steamers and wanegans plying the
upper river, and it is essential to bust
ness that the river be open.
Will Ask Protection.
While it is known that the war de
partment is very jealous of it's rights
on all navigable streams and will not
allow permanent distractions of navi
gable rivers, the department has no i'm
mediate use for the upper Mississippi
The lumbermen have and will ask tina
they be cared for in any new dams tina
are erected. This feature is of less i'm
portance now than it will be in the
future. 1t is believed that the log driv
ing business will be practically ovel
in few years and the river will b.
free of logs during the open season. L
is thought that the steamboat business
| on the upper river will be important
and that so far as the future is con
eerned the entire public has an interes
! in suitable provision for allowing boat
| to pass power dams.
The present situation has beer
brought up by the plans of St. Clou,
company to erect large power dam a
St. Augusta. Others are contemplate,
and if all are allowed to 90 in withou
provision for boats, the upper river will
be practically closed for all time. TIL
| dam companies do not take kindly t.
the plan for compelling them to provid
locks, as the expense Of construction
will be greatly increased if locks ar
| necessary.
