CONNECTION is ABANDONED
Steamer Dubuque Taken From Run
10 BURLINGTON.

The last chance of the season to
make through river connections to
st. Louis from Rock Island will be
past when the Helen Blair Leaves
today for Burlington. The steamer
Dubuque Of the Diamond 10 line
will be taken from the run to Bur-
lington after the trip from St. LOUIS
and will only run to Keokuk This
is unusual for usually the boat con-
tinues the journey up the river as
far as Burlington until November.
No reason is given by the officials for
the change. 1t has not yet been de-
cided whether the Quincy which is
lying at Dubuque will make the pres
ldent'S trip or not Although the
pilot has license to run between St
Louis and New Orleans, he has not
done so for several years.

The rot published in the Chicago pa
pers of any particular politician hav-
ing "a friend at court in George A
Cooke is almost beneath notice. Mr..
Cooke owes his election to no one out
side of this district. and is obligated
to no one either in or out of the dis
trict. Mover was a man freer TO do
his duty fearlessly as he sees it. Con-
fidence in his worth and the principle
for which he stood throughout the
campaign made his election sure. He
has but to prove worthy of his great
office, and that he Will do.

Was Marvellous.
RETURNS FROM FUNERAL
Remains, i'm Accordance With Last
Wish, Buried in Humble Ground
Beside Mother.

DR.. Gustav \. Andreen, president
of Augustana college, returned home
Saturday from st. Paul and st. Peter,
Minn., where ne attended the funeral
CT Minnesota. DR.. Andreen, as the
representative of Augustana college
at the funeral, was accorded marked
honors, being one of the funeral par
ty on the special train which convey

eX-governors of Minnesota. l.. +.
Hubbard, John Lind, Samuel Z. Van
SAINT and Senator Knute Nelson, and
many other distinguished juristS and
statesmen.
The funeral. said DR.. Andreen. was
the most impressive he ever witness
ed. Especially as the magnificent
cortege neared the special train,
which was to carry the beloved gov
ernor from the capital for the last
time, did the people give full vent to
their feelings.
Il was standing on the platform
of the special train when the process
sion moved down the long avenue to-
ward us. Regiment after regiment
came marching along and swung in,,
TO position as the train was reached,
standing in attention Then finally
came the dead washer-woman's son
who was being honored as an emper-

liable sob seemed to pass through the
thousands of spectators massed on
both sides of the funeral route. /
have never witnessed anything like
it. such open manifestations of gen.
uine grief. Men, as we'll as women,
wept and sobbed, and l saw supreme
justices as well as other high oiIic-
ials cry like children. The feeling
was contagious and l could not re-
sist, myself.
Entire Town Out.
''At st. Peter his old home, the
entire town turned out Ell masse to
pay their last tribute to their distin-
guished son. The funeral service
was held in the little church. after
which burial took place in the old
IO"n cemetery Dy the sue OF his
mother. There is a newer and more
fashionable cemetery there now. but

of his old mother"
DR.. Andreen said that a movement
is on foot to erect a monument to
Governor Johnson's memory The
plan is TO raise K by s donations in
order to give an opportunity TO rs
many people as possible to contri-
butte.

GIRL RESCUES
 DAzED DOCTOR

New Haven,July 20-Miss Maud Rice of Brooklyn saved the life of Dr. A. F. Slater of this city yesterday, when a gust of wind caused him to fall from a motor boat into Long Island Sound. Miss Rice did not know much about handling the boat, but she steered it around where the doctor had gone down, and when his head appeared she pulled him into the boat, as he was too dazed from the shock to help himself much.
 The boat was tossed over the waves in dangerous fashion, but by experi- menting with the machinery Miss Rice made her way to Morris Cove, where an anchorage was obtained. Dr. Slater was exhausted, but Miss Rice was little the worse.
 Miss Enid Rice was rescued from drowning by Stanley Higgins of the Yale Law School last year, and their engagement was later announced. The Misses Rice are daughters of Mrs. G. Townsend Rice of Brooklyn Heights, who has a cottage at Woodmont-on- the-SOund.

ThaW Tries Another
 Tack for Freedom

White Plains, N. Y, July 20.-Harry K Thaw does not intend to stake his entire chance of freedom on the pres ent proceedings before Justice Mills at White Plains. Charles Morschauser, his lawyer, has filed in each of the five counties of the Ninth Judicial district copies of an appeal to the Court of Appeals from the recent order of the Brooklyn Appellate Division.
 In this the court, with the exception of Justice Gaynor, upheld the action of Justice Mills in diSmiSSing a, former writ of habeas corpus which Thaw was Brought before him. The claim was then set up that the prisoner should be discharged on the ground that Section 454, under which he was Originally committed to the asylum was unconstitutional.
 Justice Gaynor, in dissenting from his colleagues. passed on the section thus:
 sSection. 454 is void, as it is violative of the constitutional provisions against depriving any person of life, liberty and property without due process of law
 The claim that the section is uncon- stitutional is based on the fact that under the law the court, if it deems the discharge of person acquitted on the grounds of insanity to be a menace to public safety. can commit him without notice of hearing.
 Justice Jenks, in denying the appeal said that it must be inferred that the IeRfsIature intended that the court would commit only after it's conclusion that ak the time of the acquittal de-

 NEW POLICY IN CHINA
High Officials in Pekin Deeply Stirred by Possibilities of Recent Appoint.
 menf.

Pekin, July 20.-The appointment by President Taft of Charles R. Crane, of Chicago. a man unknown in diplomatic circles, to be Minister to China is rec ogniZed in Pekin official quarters as the most striking action with reference to American represen tation in China for the last fifty years.
 The appointment has aroused a cor responding interest among Europeans, who say that only the United States is in a position to make appointments of this kind and succeed, and they are, therefore, prepared to find in MT. Crane another Anson Burlinghame.
 The Powers are curious regarding the meaning of Americas new attitude toward China as a centre of American foreign policy. Chinese statesmen are cognizant of the possibilities of Amer ican intervention and aid, and they recognize in the policy recently enun- ciated by President Taft, which MT. Crane engages to carry out, a definite meaning with reference to the attitude of Japan toward China and the Anglo Japanese alliance.
 High Chinese officials declare that Japan is China's greatest enemy, and China, more than ever, recognizes America's neutral influence, and the Government is keenly interested in the arrival of the representative of a new policy, the political importance of which Pekin officials are closely scru- tiniZing.
