he had accepted the presidency OF the
( Carnegie Trust Company of New York
q new concern with an authorized cap
ital Of $5,000,000. He will enter on
his duties March s, Immediately after
leaving the United States treasury. AT
meeting OF the directors in New York
4 At was decided to select him and pay
7 him about the fourth best salary paid
any New York financier, $4,000 per
\ year. In taking this place Secretary
Shaw does not abandon his home in
a Denison and does not give UP his ann
bition to be president of the United
States. He made 1t plain in a state
aneht that he gave out last night that
he was, at least, receptive candidate
for the presidency. ut will be for. my
& party to determine" he said, whether
i am again invited from congenial
fields Of personal endeavor to the per-
4 plexities. Of public service."
Here this V understood to mean that
! Secretary Shaw has taken this method
to let It be known that he is willing
to accept the presidential nomination
A and that he IL willing for his friends
= to work In his behalf.
When Lyman ]. Gage left the treas
lufy ana went to New York as head Of
a great trust company he was paid
!, 925,000. It Is believed Mr.. Shaw will
get more than this. The company to
which he will go has been In business
since January 1, 1907. It occupies one
OF the finest office buildings in New
) York, and is on lower Broadway, not
on wall street. when the company
4nade him the proposition not long ago,
! 1t 10 understood that Mr.. Shaw replied,
naming conditions that were rather se-
we're. They were accepted however,

"Standpatism" is engaged in its last
great raid on the treasury Of the I'm
tied states, IN the opinion of the demo-
cratic leader In congress. AS the ad-
Jour ffment approaches it is plainly evil
dent that the appropriations Of this
session of congress, three short months.
IA length. will exceed by 800. GOO, 900
the appropriation Of any other congress
a the history Of the country. In fact,
it Is predicted by those who have
closely followed the progress OF the an
\ t1ual budgets that this session will be
The first billion dollar session of con-
gress since the government began.
The appropriation bills which have
already PISSED the house or are under
way in ii body, together with the In
creases made to them In the senate,
Justify this prediction, fnasmttch as It
Is estimated that the surplus for the
present fiscal year will be in the neigh
'borhood OF only $50, 1000, 900, the expen-3
ditures provided by this congress will
exceed the revenue in sight by nearly
100000. 900.
y The sundry civil bill as passed by the
senate and house contains 1926, 900 for
continuing work in the year ending
June 80, 1908, on the Des Moines pub
lie building. Mason City gets $500 for
Jcy EN- nm
10 continue Its building under the
present limit: Cedar Rapids $40, 900 for
additional land and to complete en-
iargement and Improvement of public
buildings and $4,000 for rental Of tenn
porary quarters; C1arirlda $4,000 to
complete building with $4,000 more to
be spent for the previous appro priation
Tor 8 site; Muscatine also has proper
hrovision for continuing work.
Cost what It may, Secretary Shaw
purposes to bring to Justice the thief
or thieves who stole $173,000 from the
eub-treasury in Chicago. II the gov
eminent should Tail to arrest and con-
Wet he fears encouragement will be
Riven others to attempt like crimes
elsewhere. A couple of Chief Wilkes
most efficient men have been sent to
reinforce the secret service in Chi
cago. Mr.. Wilkie will direct opera
lions from Washington.
The treasury department has the
numbers Of the bank notes stolen. NO
tification will be given to banks thru-
out the country to advise police Off
cials.
when asked IL he would make any
statement in regard to the case, Sec
retary shaw said he did not know
ali the facts He believed q clean
cut" robbery had occurred" but that no
clew to the thief had been found.
